Many areas of Europe (especially Italy and Central Europe) struggled to free themselves from foreign control 4 Art Art came to be appreciated for its aesthetic worth Program-music that serves an extra-musical purpose Absolute-music for the sake and beauty of the music itself 5 Musical Context Increased interest in nature and the supernatural The natural world was considered a source of mysterious powers.

  • Hector Berlioz Harold in Italy, Op. 16
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Hector Berlioz Born December 11, 1803, Côte-Saint-André, France. Died March 8, 1869, Paris, France. Harold in Italy, Op. 16 Berlioz composed Harold in Italy in 1834. The first performance was given on November 23 of that year in Paris. The score calls for solo viola and an orchestra consisting of two flutes and piccolo, two oboes and english horn, two clarinets, four bassoons, four horns, two cornets and two trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, snare drum, triangle, cymbals, harp, and strings. Performance time is approximately forty-two minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first performances of Berlioz's Harold in Italy were given on subscription concerts at the Auditorium Theatre on March 11 and 12, 1892 with August Junker as soloist and Theodore Thomas conducting. At one of the first performances of his blockbuster Symphonie fantastique, Hector Berlioz noticed that a man stayed behind in the empty concert hall after the ovations had ended and the musicians were packing up to go home. He was, as Berlioz recalls in his Memoirs, "a man with long hair and piercing eyes and a strange, ravaged countenance, a creature haunted by genius, a Titan among giants, whom I had never seen before, the first sight of whom stirred me to the depths." The man stopped Berlioz in the hallway, grabbed his hand, and "uttered glowing eulogies that thrilled and moved me to the depths. It was Paganini." Paganini, is, of course, Italian-born Nicolò Paganini, among the first of music's one-name sensations. In 1833, the year he met Berlioz, Paganini was one of music's greatest celebrities, known for the almost superhuman virtuosity of his violin playing as well as his charismatic, commanding presence.

  • Music and Ideas from Mozart to the Jazz Age Spring, 2016 Professor
    Music and Ideas from Mozart to the Jazz Age Spring, 2016 Professor James H. Johnson Department of History, Rm. #403 Office Hours: Monday, Wednesday 3:00-5:00, Thursday 12:30-2:00 and by appointment 226 Bay State Road [email protected] Music and Ideas from Mozart to the Jazz Age is a senior-level seminar focusing on understanding music in its historical and cultural context. Masterworks of the repertoire from the eighteenth century to jazz of the 1950s are at the center of the course, and their musical and textual features will receive significant attention. The political and intellectual climate, dynamics of patronage, composition and expectations of audiences, and changing social status of the artist will be considered in understanding the creation, performance, and reception of music. Critical musical essays and works of literature and philosophy from the period will illuminate each work’s intellectual setting, and recent historical and musicological scholarship will provide a range of approaches for understanding music in context. Historical approaches will draw from methods now employed in cultural and intellectual history. Familiarity with classical music (or a willingness to discover it) is strongly recommended for those wishing to take the course. The ability to read music is not required but will be advantageous.

  • Le Corsaire Overture, Op. 21
    Any time Joshua Bell makes an appearance, it’s guaranteed to be impressive! I can’t wait to hear him perform the monumental Brahms Violin Concerto alongside some fireworks for the orchestra. It’s a don’t-miss evening! EMILY GLOVER, NCS VIOLIN Le Corsaire Overture, Op. 21 HECTOR BERLIOZ BORN December 11, 1803, in Côte-Saint-André, France; died March 8, 1869, in Paris PREMIERE Composed 1844, revised before 1852; first performance January 19, 1845, in Paris, conducted by the composer OVERVIEW The Random House Dictionary defines “corsair” both as “a pirate” and as “a ship used for piracy.” Berlioz encountered one of the former on a wild, stormy sea voyage in 1831 from Marseilles to Livorno, on his way to install himself in Rome as winner of the Prix de Rome. The grizzled old buccaneer claimed to be a Venetian seaman who had piloted the ship of Lord Byron during the poet’s adventures in the Adriatic and the Greek archipelago, and his fantastic tales helped the young composer keep his mind off the danger aboard the tossing vessel. They landed safely, but the experience of that storm and the image of Lord Byron painted by the corsair stayed with him. When Berlioz arrived in Rome, he immersed himself in Byron’s poem The Corsair, reading much of it in, of all places, St. Peter’s Basilica. “During the fierce summer heat I spent whole days there ... drinking in that burning poetry,” he wrote in his Memoirs. It was also at that time that word reached him that his fiancée in Paris, Camile Moke, had thrown him over in favor of another suitor.

Umble, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Peter J. Kasvinsky, Dean of School of Graduate Studies Date Abstract From the time Adolphe Sax took out his first patent in 1846, the saxophone has found its way into nearly every style of music with one notable exception: the orchestra. Composers of serious orchestral music have not only disregarded the saxophone but have actually developed an aversion to the instrument, despite the fact that it was created at a time when the orchestra was expanding at its most rapid pace. This thesis is intended to identify historical reasons why the saxophone never became a permanent member of the orchestra or acquired a reputation as a serious classical instrument in the twentieth century. iii Dedicated to Isabella, Olivia & Sophia And to my father Michael C.

  • Grande Messe Des Morts: Hector Berlioz's Romantic Interpretation Of
    GRAND MESSE DES MORTS: HECTOR BERLIOZ'S ROMANTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC REQUIEM TRADITION Amber E. Broderick A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC December 2012 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2012 Amber E. Broderick All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) was commissioned by the French government in 1836 to compose a requiem mass for a state ceremony and to restore sacred music to a respected position in France. Berlioz envisioned a requiem that both continued the Roman Catholic requiem tradition and expanded it in context of the Romantic era and Kunstreligion. Berlioz conceived his Grande messe des morts (Requiem) as a “music drama,” in which the thirteenth-century Latin prose wa s used as secular poetry rather than an immutable sacred text. Berlioz’s Requiem is not religious in strict theological terms but relates more closely to what Frank Heidlberger calls an artistic statement of “secular moral philosophy.” Berlioz devised a first-person physiological narrative which presented the listener with a private emotional experience, achieving this psychological journey, in part, through a Romantic interpretation: textual alterations, programmatic orchestration, and the innovative use of antiphonal brass orchestras. The text was freely edited and rearranged to produce a libretto-type program, which Edward Cone deems a “dramatic portrayal of an imaginary progress through this world and the next.” Berlioz enhanced his interpretation by shifting from the traditional third-person perspective to the first-person. This adjustment required minimal changes to the text but maximum changes for the listener, who experienced a personal journey focused on the individual, rather than the divine.
