As such it is concerned with a historic problem ir pci tial :hearv, i.e., how to visualize a perfect human community. Since the turn of the 20th century, we have seen a decline in utopian ~i tera.ture. A variety of commentators, including Mannhein: and Mumford, noted and decried this trend. It seemed ironic to those observers that utopia~s demise would occur when humanity was closest to realizing material abundance for all. My research evaluates this irony. The primary data of my work are drawn from the genre of science fiction. The new locus for utopian thought seems natural enough. Science fiction is a speculative activity and, in its emphasis on science and technology, concerns itself with an area of human activity that has been intimately connected with the idea of progress since the European Enlightenment. A number of scholars including Mumford, Sargent, Suvin, and Williams, have asserted that contemporary utopian thought could be found in science fiction.

  • WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Serenade No
    program notes WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Serenade No. 9 in D Major, K. 320 “Posthorn” (1779) • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, on January 27, 1756, and died in Vienna, Austria, on December 5, 1791. Mozart completed his “Posthorn” Serenade on August 3, 1779, in Salzburg. The nickname is derived from the appearance of a post horn in the work’s penultimate movement. The post horn, a small circular brass instrument without valves, was originally used by postilions and mail-coachmen. Scholars differ as to the specific occasion for which Mozart wrote this work. Mozart’s early biographer, Franz Peter Niemetschek, claimed that the “Posthorn” Serenade was composed to celebrate the feast day of the Salzburg Archbishop, Hieronymous Colloredo. Maynard Solomon, in his biography Mozart: A Life (HarperCollins, New York, 1995), posits that given the date of composition, the “Posthorn” Serenade was probably used for graduation ceremonies at the Salzburg University. In any event, it is clear Mozart thought very highly of this composition. On March 23, 1783, Mozart offered a triumphant concert at the Vienna Burgtheater. As he proudly described to his father, “I need not tell you very much about the success of my concert, for no doubt you have already heard of it. Suffice it to say that the theater could not have been more crowded and that every box was full.” Among the members of the audience was Emperor Joseph II of Austria. The “Posthorn” Serenade is in seven movements. Tonight’s performance represents an abridged version featuring movements I, V, VI, and VII. The first opens with a stately, slow-tempo introduction (Adagio maestoso), resolving to the principal Allegro con spirito.

Dueppen December 2012 iii Abstract The Trombone as Sacred Signifier in the Operas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Timothy M. Dueppen The trombone was understood during the eighteenth century and earlier in Germany as an instrument with important sacred significance. This association developed because of its appearance in German translations of the Bible by Martin Luther and Catholic theologians and its presence in encyclopedias and treatises of the period. This, along with the trombone’s vast use in church music of the period, helped it to be understood as an instrument of sacred significance by the German musical public. It was this social understanding of the sacerdotal qualities of the trombone that propelled Mozart to use the instrument in his operas Idomeneo, Don Giovanni, and Die Zauberflöte to enhance some of the most important sacred elements of each work.

Nearly twenty years later, John McGinness ruminated on the uproar, asking, “While unquestionably of historical importance, why, in our postmodern times, should dating and/or the addition of dissonance play a crucial role in the critical evaluation of Ives’s music?” McGinness continued by questioning the effects of what he called “Modernist Criticism” on Ives studies and concluded by problematizing its usefulness to evaluations of Ives’s music. This thesis continues the conversation that McGinness began. First, I broaden his discussion to include the reception history of Jean Sibelius and recent contributions to Sibelius studies, for throughout their respective reception histories, the musics of Ives and Sibelius have been particularly vulnerable to negative valuations based on modernist criticism. Next, I borrow Richard Taruskin’s definition of modernist criticism, which he iii describes as comprising three tenets: influence, innovation, and structure.

Johann Christian Bach’s Influence on Mozart’s Developing Style by Austin Bourdon Honors Thesis in Department of Music University of Richmond Richmond, VA Spring 2010 Advisor: Dr. Gene Anderson Bourdon 2 The methods by which great composers create their masterpieces often remain a mystery to modern scholars. There are essentially two approaches to determining what these methods might be: investigating a composer’s surviving drafts, sketches, and letters and analyzing their musical influences. The first approach can be very limiting, especially when applied to a composer such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who did not leave behind many musical sketches. Therefore, when studying Mozart’s compositional process, it is more useful to rely on the second method in which one traces his stylistic development to key musical figures. From these major influences, one can uncover how Mozart learned his craft and determine what musical elements he must have considered to be most important. Although Mozart experienced a wide range of influences throughout his life—he was known for quickly picking up various forms and styles of music—this paper will focus on one composer in particular: Johann Christian Bach.

  • Beethoven and Handel 1
    Beethoven and Handel 1 Beethoven and Handel: The Significance of a Borrowing Channan Willner Among the many reasons for our perpetual fascination with composers’ borrowings is the sense of secrecy the evoke. With few exceptions, borrowings are generally kept quiet by the composer and their discovery therefore requires a good deal of musical as well as musicological detective work.1 Schenkerian methodology, also occupied with hidden matters, would appear to be a suitable vehicle for such an endeavor, despite the serious danger of mixing apples and oranges its use poses: It is all too easy to mix levels and to look for figural borrowings, which occur near the surface, among the linear progressions that reside well below. The benefits of a reductive approach to borrowings reside, rather, in a heightened and more acute sensitivity to the multiplicity of tonal and durational relationships a passage (in either a borrowing or its source) can realize at different levels of structure.2 1 I wish to thank Maynard Solomon, Heather Platt, and Frank Samarotto for their helpful comments on an earlier version of this paper. The earlier version was presented at the conference, Austria 996-1996: Music in a Changing Society, which was held in Ottawa during January 1996 (and was also known as “The Millennium Conference”). Plans to publish the Conference proceedings have been abandoned by the Editor, Walter Kreyszig. 2 Among the best-known applications of Schenkerian procedures to the study of borrowings are Oster 1947/1983, pp. 407-29 (1947), and pp. 189-207 (1983); and Schachter 1991, pp. 227-51.
