A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and

  • From Page to Stage: Wagner As Regisseur
    Wagner Ia 5/27/09 3:55 PM Page 3 Copyrighted Material From Page to Stage: Wagner as Regisseur KATHERINE SYER Nowadays we tend to think of Richard Wagner as an opera composer whose ambitions and versatility extended beyond those of most musicians. From the beginning of his career he assumed the role of his own librettist, and he gradually expanded his sphere of involvement to include virtually all aspects of bringing an opera to the stage. If we focus our attention on the detailed dramatic scenarios he created as the bases for his stage works, we might well consider Wagner as a librettist whose ambitions extended rather unusually to the area of composition. In this light, Wagner could be considered alongside other theater poets who paid close attention to pro- duction matters, and often musical issues as well.1 The work of one such figure, Eugène Scribe, formed the foundation of grand opera as it flour- ished in Paris in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Wagner arrived in this operatic epicenter in the fall of 1839 with work on his grand opera Rienzi already under way, but his prospects at the Opéra soon waned. The following spring, Wagner sent Scribe a dramatic scenario for a shorter work hoping that the efforts of this famous librettist would help pave his way to success. Scribe did not oblige. Wagner eventually sold the scenario to the Opéra, but not before transforming it into a markedly imaginative libretto for his own use.2 Wagner’s experience of operatic stage produc- tion in Paris is reflected in many aspects of the libretto of Der fliegende Holländer, the beginning of an artistic vision that would draw him increas- ingly deeper into the world of stage direction and production.

ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER : : Vladimir De Pachmann The Greatest Pianist Of the 20th Century ON TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES SEASON: 1911-1912 For generations the appearance of new stars on the musical firmament has been announced — then they came with a temporary glitter — soon to fade and to be forgotten. De Pachmann has outlived them all. With each return he won additional resplendence and to-day he is acknowl- edged by the truly artistic public to be the greatest exponent of the piano of the twentieth century. As Arthur Symons, the eminent British critic, says "Pachmann is the Verlaine or Whistler of the Pianoforte the greatest player of the piano now living." Pachmann, as before, uses the BALDWIN PIANO for the expression of his magic art, the instrument of which he himself says " .... It cries when I feel like crying, it sings joyfully when I feel like singing. It responds — like a human being — to every mood. I love the Baldwin Piano." Every lover of the highest type of piano music will, of course, go to hear Pachmann — to revel in the beauty of his music and to marvel at it. It is the beautiful tone quality, the voice which is music itself, and the wonderfully responsive action of the Baldwin Piano, by which Pachmann's miraculous hands reveal to you the thrill, the terror and the ecstasy of a beauty which you had never dreamed was hidden in sounds.

  • Albert Pinkham Ryder 1 S Two Wagnerian Paintings: the Flying Dutchman and Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: Albert Pinkham Ryder 1 s Two Wagnerian Paintings: The Flying Dutchman and Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens Sharon Dale Carman, Master of Arts, 1988 Thesis directed by: John Peters-Campbell, Assistant Professor, Art History Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847-1917) has traditionally been regarded as an anomalous figure in the history of art. A small, but growing, body of scholarship has recently been devoted to correcting this view of the artist and to establishing his relationship to the aes- thetic currents of his time. This study explores the influence on his art of Ryder's environment, late nineteenth-century New York. Two of Ryder's paintings, each based on an incident in an opera by Richard Wagner, are examined: Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens, drawn from Gotterdammerung; and The Flying Dutchman, inspired by Der fliegende Hollander. The history of opera in nineteenth- century New York helps to explain how an American painter came to be influenced by such distinctly German operatic themes. German immigration patterns are linked with changes in operatic taste, and the interest of native intellectuals in Wagner's music and ideas is discussed. Wagnerian staging tradition is posited as a source for the compositions of both Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens and The Flying Dutchman. It is demonstrated that the set designed by Josef Hoffmann for the original Bayreuth pro­ duction of Gotterdammerung, Act III, Scene I, served as the specific compositional basis for Ryder's Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens.

  • Richard Wagner on the Practice and Teaching of Singing
    Richard Wagner on the Practice and Teaching of Singing By Peter Bassett [A paper presented to the 8th International Congress of Voice Teachers on 13 July 2013.] Weber and Beethoven were still alive when Wagner was a teenager, and their long shadows, together with those of Mozart and Marschner fell on all his early projects. His first completed opera Die Feen, composed in 1833 when he was just twenty years old, was never performed in his lifetime but, even if it had been, it wouldn’t have sounded as good as it does in the best recorded versions we know today. The type of singing familiar to Wagner was far from ideal, and many German singers of his era were poorly trained and had unsophisticated techniques. His sternest critic, Eduard Hanslick had something to say on the difference between German and Italian singers at that time: ‘With the Italians’ he said, ‘great certainty and evenness throughout the role; with the Germans an unequal alternation of brilliant and mediocre moments, which seems partly accidental.’ Wagner had to entrust his major roles to inadequately trained singers in many cases, which must have been challenging to say the least. He worked hard to improve matters, pouring much time and energy into the preparation of performances. ‘I do not care in the slightest’ he once said, ‘whether my works are performed. What I do care about is that they are performed as I intended them to be. Anyone who cannot, or will not, do so, had better leave them alone.’ David Breckbill has written that ‘The differences between the singing which Wagner knew and that which we hear today are considerable.

  • Realism and Naturalism
    ~~fAif{l,istory ot i~t~; Design and I;echnology in_ -· .. r. ····-· Eil[o]:ie,:arJd the --v~i't~-d~~,i~f~~- - CHAPTER SEVEN Realism and Naturalism Newworldviews developed in the mid- to late nineteenth century that changed many philosophical and scientific trends in Europe and the United States. Archaeological and scientific discoveries and changing economic structures during the industrial revolu­ tion encouraged intellectuals, politicians, scientists, and artists to question points of view rooted in the power structures of religious hierarchies, monarchies, and govern­ ments. The application of the scientific method, early developments in sociology, and widespread political and economic injustices changed the function of the artist. Theatre artists became interested in projecting a point ofview that was relevant to contemporary audiences. The styles ofromanticism and classicism gave way to realism and naturalism, and these new styles took two different major tracks: historically accurate "period," or antiquated, stories and realistic drama that focused on contemporary social issues. t I The political turmoil of the r84os began to undermine both romanticism and clas­ 1',,, sicism as attention was shifted increasingly to inequities in society. As a result, around r8so, emphasis began to shift to realism and eventually naturalism and remained there throughout the last halfof the nineteenth century. By the mid-r84os, both classicism and romanticism had lost much of their appeal for most writers and designers in Europe and the United States. They were replaced by interest in historical accuracy: insistence on archaeological precision in the architecture depicted in stage settings; exactness in the representation of such stage properties as furniture, draperies, and all details of orna­ mentation; accuracy of costumes in terms of decoration, style, and shape; and armor and weaponry of the correct period and design.

  • De Muzikale Geschiedenis Van De Festspiele, Aflevering 1 Door Johan Maarsingh
    De muzikale geschiedenis van de Festspiele, aflevering 1 door Johan Maarsingh Dit is het begin van een serie artikelen over de geschiedenis van de Bayreuther Festspiele aan de hand van geluidsopnamen. Beeldopname kwam er pas in 1978 (Tannhäuser in de regie van Götz Friedrich, gedirigeerd door Sir Colin Davis), ruim een eeuw na de door Richard Wagner georganiseerde Festspiele met de wereldpremière van de complete Ring des Nibelungen. Aan het begin van “Wagner in Bayreuth” staat echter Beethovens Negende symfonie. Dit werk dirigeerde Wagner voor het laatst in zijn leven op 22 mei 1872, in het Markgräfliches Opernhaus. Op zijn negenenvijftigste verjaardag heeft Wagner toen ook de eerste steen gelegd van zijn Festspieltheater. Dat werk stond eveneens op het programma toen de Bayreuther Festspiele in 1951 werden heropend. Het is het eerste werk dat in het Festspielhaus echt helemaal compleet voor de grammofoonplaat is vastgelegd. Veel later zou blijken dat de plaat een compilatie bevat van de echte uitvoering met opnamen gemaakt tijdens repetities. Commerciële opnamen voor langspeelplaat of cd komen tot stand door meerdere voorstellingen op te nemen. De eerste opnamen We gaan terug naar het Bayreuth van Cosima en Siegfried Wagner (beiden overleden in 1930) voor opnamen op de 78t-plaat. In 1927 heeft de komst van de microfoon kort tevoren de geluidskwaliteit van plaatopnamen aanzienlijk verbeterd. Reden voor Columbia om korte fragmenten uit de Ring en Parsifal op de plaat te zetten. Dat het net de twee werken van Wagner zijn die in Bayreuth in wereldpremière gingen is puur toeval. In 1927 regisseerde Siegfried Wagner een nieuwe productie van de Tristan en daarvan worden grote delen in 1928 op de plaat gezet.
