    2007, Senior Seminar, Symphonic Nationalism

    James Hepokoski Spring 2007 Office Hours (143 Elm, Room 202): Tue, 1:30-3:00 [email protected] Music 422: Symphonic Nationalism Senior Seminar: A consideration of selected musical idioms, ca. 1840-1925, associated with European “nationalism” and the construction of cultural memory and identity. The compositions to be considered include symphonic works, operatic excerpts, and a few other vocal pieces. The seminar centers on art music from three differing cultures: Russia—4 sessions (Glinka, Balakirev, Borodin, Musorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Tchaikovsky); Czech regions/Bohemia-- 4 sessions (Smetana and Dvořák), and Finland—4 sessions (Sibelius). Another session in the middle of the term will be devoted more exclusively to larger issues of nationalism, culture, and identity. Discussions of selected movements; interpretations of program and structure; background and contextual reading and listening. This course focuses on the role of symphonic and operatic music in the creation of cultural monuments, ca. 1850-1910—canonic works of music traditionally regarded as expressive of the aspirations of a nation, a people, or a culture that perceived itself as existing outside of the artistic hegemonies of Austria, Germany, France, and Italy. The central purpose of the seminar is to underscore the role of art music in the formation of national and cultural ideologies in the mid- and late-nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century.

  • Der Fliegende Holländer

    Der Fliegende Holländer

    July 16, 2020 – Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer On this week’s Thursday Night Opera House, we’re presenting an encore broadcast of Richard Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer (“The Flying Dutchman”), hosted by the late Al Ruocchio (1937-2007). Premiered in 1843 at the Königliches Hoftheater in Dresden (nowadays known as the Semper Opera House), its central theme is redemption through love. Wagner claimed in his 1870 autobiography that he had been inspired to write the opera following a stormy sea crossing he made from Riga to London in 1839. In his 1843 Autobiographic Sketch, Wagner acknowledged he had taken the story from Heinrich Heine's retelling of the Dutchman’s legend in his 1833 satirical novel The Memoirs of Mister von Schnabelewopski. In nineteenth-century Norway, the Dutchman (bass-baritone Norman Bailey), as punishment for having uttered a blasphemy, has been condemned to sail the seas forever, unless redeemed by the love of a woman faithful unto death. Allowed to come ashore once every seven years in search of such a woman, he lands in Norway and meets Daland (bass Martti Talvela), an old sea captain who, seduced by the Dutchman’s wealth, suggests marriage to his daughter Senta (soprano Janis Martin). Senta, loved by the simple huntsman Erik (tenor René Kollo), has long been obsessed with the legend of the Dutchman, and falls in love with him immediately. The Dutchman overhears her begging Erik to understand her feelings, mistakenly thinks her unfaithful and, distraught, immediately sails away. Senta throws herself off a cliff, calling to the Dutchman that she has been faithful to death.
