Because of the scandal she has caused by having an illegitimate child, Sister Angelica has done penance in a convent for seven years. The Princess, Sister Angelica’s aunt, arrives unexpectedly and demands that Sister Angelica sign a document renouncing her right to any inheritance and turning it over to her sister who is about to be married. The Princess refuses to forgive Sister Angelica, who inquires about the fate of her son. The Princess coldly tells her that the child has been dead for two years. Devastated by the news and the coldness of her aunt, Sister Angelica takes poison. She then realizes, too late, that she has committed a mortal sin and asks the Virgin Mary to forgive her and give her a sign her prayer has been answered. In a vision, the Virgin appears, leading a small child, who she sends towards Sister Angelica, while a heavenly choir sings of her salvation. Gianni Schicchi Setting: The bedchamber of Buoso Donato’s home in Florence. Buoso Donato has died and left his considerable estate to charity. His somewhat greedy relatives in desperation decide to accept the advice of Rinuccio and ask the help of Gianni Schicchi, a well known local rogue and the father of Lauretta, Rinuccio’s

    NOTES JUNE 2004 A MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI OF THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FROM THE EDITOR The right “stu≠” Dear Eastman Alumni: We like Notes’ new look, and it seems you do too. Response has been unani- mously favorable; perhaps we should consider a Steve Boerner–David Cowles NOTES presidential ticket for 2008. I’d vote for them; these two artists made “Notes Volume 22, Number 2 nouveau” a pleasure, and I’m glad the pleasure was conveyed in the magazine June 2004 itself. I write the stuff, but they (and our photographers) make it look good! We also had a tremendous response to our “Eastman Alumni on CD” feature; Editor see pages 33¬34. And enough of you commented on different editorial aspects of David Raymond Notes (not always favorably) that we have a “Letters to the Editor” section, which Assistant editor may be a first for us. Christina Casey This issue of Notes is admittedly filled with history, but Susan Conkling’s re- Contributing writers minder of the great women who shaped both American music and Eastman, and Martial Bednar Amy Blum Paul Burgett’s reminder of four black composers who Christine Corrado played an important part in Eastman history, are stories Contributing photographers worth telling. As is the story of the success of Howard Kurt Brownell Hanson’s Merry Mount at the Met in 1934—a remarkable Gelfand-Piper Photography event, when you think about it. I should add a special Bob Klein Photography word of thanks here to David Peter Coppen, the Sibley Carlos Ortiz Don Ver Ploeg/VP Communications Library Archivist, who is always helpful with providing Amy Vetter historical photographs and other materials for Notes, but Photography coordinator outdid himself for these three articles.

  • Ceriani Rowan University Email: [email protected]
    Nineteenth-Century Music Review, 14 (2017), pp 211–242. © Cambridge University Press, 2016 doi:10.1017/S1479409816000082 First published online 8 September 2016 Romantic Nostalgia and Wagnerismo During the Age of Verismo: The Case of Alberto Franchetti* Davide Ceriani Rowan University Email: [email protected] The world premiere of Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana on 17 May 1890 immediately became a central event in Italy’s recent operatic history. As contemporary music critic and composer, Francesco D’Arcais, wrote: Maybe for the first time, at least in quite a while, learned people, the audience and the press shared the same opinion on an opera. [Composers] called upon to choose the works to be staged, among those presented for the Sonzogno [opera] competition, immediately picked Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana as one of the best; the audience awarded this composer triumphal honours, and the press 1 unanimously praised it to the heavens. D’Arcais acknowledged Mascagni’smeritsbut,inthesamearticle,alsourgedcaution in too enthusiastically festooning the work with critical laurels: the dangers of excessive adulation had already become alarmingly apparent in numerous ill-starred precedents. In the two decades prior to its premiere, several other Italian composers similarly attained outstanding critical and popular success with a single work, but were later unable to emulate their earlier achievements. Among these composers were Filippo Marchetti (Ruy Blas, 1869), Stefano Gobatti (IGoti, 1873), Arrigo Boito (with the revised version of Mefistofele, 1875), Amilcare Ponchielli (La Gioconda, 1876) and Giovanni Bottesini (Ero e Leandro, 1879). Once again, and more than a decade after Bottesini’s one-hit wonder, D’Arcais found himself wondering whether in Mascagni ‘We [Italians] have finally [found] … the legitimate successor to [our] great composers, the person 2 who will perpetuate our musical glory?’ This hoary nationalist interrogative returned in 1890 like an old-fashioned curse.

  • Sailing on Seas of Uncertainties: Late Style and Puccini's Struggle for Self
    International Journal of Ageing and Later Life, 2008 3(1): 77Á95. # The Authors Sailing on seas of uncertainties: late style and Puccini’s struggle for self-renewal By AMIR COHEN-SHALEV Abstract The popularity of Puccini’s melodramatic operas, often derided by ‘‘serious’’ musicologists, has hindered a more rounded evaluation of his attempt at stylistic change. This paper offers a novel perspective of life- span creativedevelopment in order to move the discussion of Puccini beyond the dichotomy of popular versus high-brow culture. Tracing the aspects of gradual stylistic change that began in The Girl from the Golden West (1910) through the three operas of Il Trittico: Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi (1918Á1919), the paper then focuses on Puccini’s last opera, Turandot (1926), as exemplifying a potential turn to a reflexive, philosophical style which is very different from the melodramatic, sentimentalist style generally associated with his work. In order to discuss this change as embodying a turn to late style, the paper identifies major stylistic shifts as well as underlying themes in the work of Puccini. The paper concludes by discussing the case of Puccini as a novel contribution to the discussion of lateness in art, until now reserved to a selected few ‘‘old Masters.’’ Keywords: Puccini, late style, life-span development, creativity. Amir Cohen-Shalev, Department of Gerontology, University of Haifa, Israel. 77 International Journal of Ageing and Later Life Beloved and popular, the operas of Giacomo Puccini have at the same time been derided by more ‘‘serious’’ musicologists as the product of a decadent, bourgeois society (Greenwald 1993).
