Two Cruises of 24 days each—sailing January 30 and February 25 and visiting Havana, Jamaica, Panama and a dozen other picturesque places on the historic Spanish Main. Sightseeing trips and excursions by automobile, launch and special train will visit such interesting spots as the Pitch Lake in Trinidad; the ruins of Saint Pierre,the. American Pompeii; Port Antonio and inland Jam.aica; old Panama City buried in the jungle; and Caracas, the capital of Venezuela.' All these extra trips are included in the price. Rates $2,7S an<^ upward. Send for the West Indies booklet Spring Mediterranean Cruise A new Cruise at an ideal season of bright days and settled warm weather. It sails on April 3 and in five weeks visits 16 places in the Western Mediterranean (including several fascinating out-of-the-way cities that other cruises have not yet found). We recommend it for a complete Spring vacation or a novel trip to Europe— vastly more entertaining than the usual trans- Atlantic voyage, and, from New York to Naples, only slightly longer.

Prudhomme says it was composed probably in January of that year. Berlioz wrote to Maurice Schlesinger, the publisher, on January 7, 1838: "It is absolutely necessary that I should rest and find a shelter from albums. For a fortnight I have searched vainly for three hours to dream at leisure over the overture of my opera. The inability to obtain them is a torture of which you have no idea, one that is abso- lutely insupportable. I warn you then that if I were forced to live on bread and water up to the moment when my score would be com- pleted, I do not wish to hear anything more about a criticism of any sort. Meyerbeer, Liszt, Chopin, and Kalkbrenner are not in need of my praise." It appears that after the production of "Guillaume Tell" at the Paris Opera (1829), the operas previous to "Benvenuto Cellini" had no overture, only an introduction. This was so even with "Robert le Diable" and "Les Huguenots." The overture was performed for the first time at the first perform- ance of the opera "Benvenuto Cellini" at the Opera, Paris, Septem- ber 10, 1838. Francois Antoine Habeneck conducted from manu- script. The first performance of the overture in Germany was at the opera-house at Brunswick, March 9, 1843, at a concert given The First Public Performance in Boston of songs from an Indian Song Cycle by E. Aldrich Dobson will be given by SOPRANO at her Jordan Hall recital, January 7th Miss Meyer will sing "Legend of the Waterfall," with flute obbligato by the composer, E.

The overture was performed in Boston at a Theodore Thomas concert, April 28, 1885. The pro- gramme said "(new)"! The overture, published in separate form, dedicated to Ernest Legouve, who had loaned Berlioz two thousand francs, that he might afford the time to " complete the opera, is scored for two flutes (the second is interchangeable with piccolo), two oboes, two clarinets (the second is interchangeable with bass clarinet), four bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, two cornets-a- piston, three trombones, ophicleide, a set of three kettledrums (played by three players), bass drum, cymbals, triangles, and strings. The score of the overture was published in June, 1839: the orchestral parts in April, 1855. The transcription by A. Fumagelli for pianoforte, two hands, was published in Septem- ber, 1852; for four hands in July^ 1856. Hans von Btilow made a score of the opera for voice and pianoforte. His "Humoristische Quadrille" on themes from the opera was published in 1879. Eight "morceaux de chant" appeared separately in 1838 in Paris ; in 1846 the cavatina "Entre l'amour et le devoir" was published at Vienna. The manuscript of the original score of the opera is in the library of the Paris Conservatory. The library of the Op6ra contains a copy in three volumes (1838). The opera was originally in two acts, and the libretto was by Leon de Wailly and Auguste Barbier.

  • Berlioz Et Le Grand Opéra : Benvenuto Cellini Chronique D’Une Chute Annoncée
    Les colloques de l’Opéra Comique Le Grand Opéra : un genre et un modèle. Avril 2012 Sous la direction d’Alexandre DRATWICKI et Agnès TERRIER Berlioz et le grand opéra : Benvenuto Cellini Chronique d’une chute annoncée Alban RAMAUT Enjeux La complexité de la relation que Berlioz entretient, sa vie durant, avec nombre de ses contemporains, rencontre sans doute dans les dix premières années du règne de Louis-Philippe une forme de paroxysme particulièrement intéressante. De 1830 à 1840, le compositeur traverse en effet la période peut-être la plus exaltée de son activité créatrice. Jamais auparavant il n’avait pu encore associer à la maîtrise de ses propres facultés l’enthousiasme que les modifications de l’actualité politique ont soudain rendu envisageable. C’est aussi à compter de l’avènement de la monarchie de Juillet que le jeune compositeur, après avoir fait les preuves de son excellence en remportant le prix de Rome, prend l’exacte mesure du combat qu’il est appelé à mener et à poursuivre pour l’affirmation de ce que nous nommerons, faute de mieux, le « romantisme ». Ces dix années, encadrées par deux voyages, son séjour en Italie et son premier voyage en Allemagne (1831, 1842), sont par conséquent celles de la mise à l’épreuve – après la victoire romantique que peut représenter le concert du 5 décembre 1830 – de l’exercice de la liberté et en quelque sorte du pouvoir qu’il a dès lors acquis. Face à une société tentée de vulgariser l’aspiration poétique à laquelle Berlioz s’est promis de rester fidèle, il va devoir défendre son inaliénable indépendance.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT François-Henri-Joseph Blaze (1784-1857), who published under the pseudonym Castil- Blaze, was an important figure in French musical life during the period of the Bourbon Restoration (1815-1830). In his historical monographs, he was the first writer to address the wider French public to explain to them the history and practical functioning of their major musical institutions. As France's first professional music critic and the author of some 340 articles in the prestigious Journal des débatshetween 1820 and 1832, he created a place for literate writing about music on the front pages of the most respected daily news• paper in France, providing the French public for the first time with a regular account of Parisian musical activities written from a musician's point of view.
