The brief Intermezzo presented here is the fourth of the symphony’s five movements and is scored for solo viola and a reduced orchestra. Writing about the premiere performance, a reviewer for the Manchester Guardian remarked: The ensuing Intermezzo, with a return to the cor anglais theme [from the second movement], now assigned to a single viola, is a little unkindly written for the solo instrument, the key being B major and the ordinary tuning adhered to, so that open strings are of little or no use. Musically, however, it is a remarkably well conceived interlude, bringing just the element of contrast which is required by the tone-picture.1 The solo viola part—despite any reservations about the key of B major—is suitably written for the instrument, while the orchestral accompaniment is sympathetically scored to the advantage of the viola. The American Viola Society is pleased to publish this movement in its original version (AVS 040) and in a version for solo viola with a piano reduction (AVS 040a). David M. Bynog, editor Notes 1. “The Hallé Concerts,” Manchester Guardian, January 31, 1902. While the review does not mention the soloist, Simon Speelman was principal viola of the Hallé Orchestra during the time.

  • Cantabile Hendrik Waelput
    Cantabile for 4 Violas Hendrik Waelput (1845–1885) AVS Publications 018 Preface The Flemish composer and conductor Hendrik Waelput studied music at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels and was awarded the Prix de Rome for his cantata Het woud in 1867. Waelput was active as a conductor in several European cities before returning to his home town of Ghent in 1875. There, he conducted various orchestras and taught harmony and counterpoint at the Conservatory in Antwerp. Waelput’s compositions include larger forms (operas, symphonies, and choral music) and chamber music, including a string quintet (viola quintet), a Canzonetta for string quartet, and this Cantabile for four violas. While the impetus behind this particular work is unknown, his use of four identical instruments in a composition is not unique: he also wrote an Andante Cantabile for four trombones and featured four solo cellos in the Andante Cantabile movement of his Flute Concerto. This edition is based on an undated manuscript score and set of parts housed in the Library Conservatorium Ghent, BG. David M. Bynog, editor Cantabile for 4 violas Hendrik Waelput Edited by David M.

  • The Baroque. 3.3: Vocal Music: the Da Capo Aria and Other Types of Arias
    UNIT 3: THE BAROQUE. 3.3: VOCAL MUSIC: THE DA CAPO ARIA AND OTHER TYPES OF ARIAS EXPLANATION 3.3: THE DA CAPO ARIA AND OTHER TYPES OF ARIAS. THE ARIA The aria in the operas is the part sung by the soloist. It is opposed to the recitative, which uses the recitative style. In the arias the composer shows and exploits the dramatic and emotional situations, it becomes the equivalent of a soliloquy (one person speach) in the spoken plays. In the arias, the interpreters showed their technique, they showed off, even in excess, which provoked a lot of criticism from poets and musicians. They were often sung by castrati: soprano men undergoing a surgical operation so as not to change their voice when they grew up. One of them, the most famous, Farinelli, acquired international fame for his great technique and vocal expression. He lived twenty-five years in Spain. THE DA CAPO ARIA The Da Capo aria is a vocal work in three parts or sections (tripartite form). It began to be used in the Baroque in operas, oratorios and cantatas. The form is A - B - A, the last part being a repetition of the first. 1. The first section is a complete musical entity, that is to say, it could be sung alone and musically it would have complete meaning since it ends in the tonic. The tonic is the first grade or note of a scale. 2. The second section contrasts with the first section in tonality, texture, mood and sometimes in tempo (speed). 3.

  • A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
    A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris 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 May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources.

The countertenor head-voice uses the full length of folds and has developed "pharyngeal" singing between the basic and falsetto mechanisms. That "upper falsetto" (to which Caccini and others were averse) is the true falsetto is a misconception. As Rene Jacobs has indicated head- Containing as well a number of earlier citations.

  • Gioachino Rossini the Journey to Rheims Ottavio Dantone
    _____________________________________________________________ GIOACHINO ROSSINI THE JOURNEY TO RHEIMS OTTAVIO DANTONE TEATRO ALLA SCALA www.musicom.it THE JOURNEY TO RHEIMS ________________________________________________________________________________ LISTENING GUIDE Philip Gossett We know practically nothing about the events that led to the composition of Il viaggio a Reims, the first and only Italian opera Rossini wrote for Paris. It was a celebratory work, first performed on 19 June 1825, honoring the coronation of Charles X, who had been crowned King of France at the Cathedral of Rheims on 29 May 1825. After the King returned to Paris, his coronation was celebrated in many Parisian theaters, among them the Théâtre Italien. The event offered Rossini a splendid occasion to present himself to the Paris that mattered, especially the political establishment. He had served as the director of the Théatre Italien from November 1824, but thus far he had only reproduced operas originally written for Italian stages, often with new music composed for Paris. For the coronation opera, however, it proved important that the Théâtre Italien had been annexed by the Académie Royale de Musique already in 1818. Rossini therefore had at his disposition the finest instrumentalists in Paris. He took advantage of this opportunity and wrote his opera with those musicians in mind. He also drew on the entire company of the Théâtre Italien, so that he could produce an opera with a large number of remarkable solo parts (ten major roles and another eight minor ones). Plans for multitudinous celebrations for the coronation of Charles X were established by the municipal council of Paris in a decree of 7 February 1825.

I attribute the sudden rise and fall of interest in the genre to a large and noisy migration event—the flight of some 200,000 Huguenots from France. Dispersed across Western Europe and beyond, Huguenots maintained extensive networks that encouraged the exchange of ideas and of music. And it was precisely in the great centers of the Second Refuge that French opera was performed. Following the wide-ranging career path of Huguenot impresario, novelist, poet, and spy Jean-Jacques Quesnot de la Chenée, I construct an alternative history of French opera by tracing its circulation and transformation along Huguenot migration routes.
