In examining the wider logic of French imperial expansion around the Mediterranean, this dissertation bridges the Revolutionary, Napoleonic, Restoration (1815-30), July Monarchy (1830-48), Second Republic (1848-52), and Second Empire (1852-70) periods.

  • 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.

    ARTS, LETTRES ET SCIENCES HISTORIX SIMON BERNARD (X 1794), VAUBAN DU NOUVEAU MONDE _ PAR JACQUES-ANDRÉ LESNARD, TRÉSORIER DE L’ASSOCIATION VAUBAN La Jaune et la Rouge a présenté depuis le début de l’année deux « Vauban » du XIXe siècle liés à notre école : Haxo et Séré de Rivières. Le même auteur nous parle maintenant d’un camarade de la même trempe, au parcours pour le moins original, plus célèbre outre-Atlantique que chez nous, qui mérite bien un détour HistoriX et une reconnaissance par notre communauté ! Né le 28 avril 1779 dans une famille très pauvre à Dole (Jura), intellectuellement très précoce, Simon Bernard intègre à l’âge de 15 ans en 1794 la première promotion de « l’École centrale des travaux publics », rebaptisée l’année suivante École polytechnique. Il la rejoint à pied, sac au dos et bâton ferré à la main, recueilli transi de froid et de fatigue par une Parisienne à laquelle il demandait l’emplacement de l’école ! Il en sort second et opte pour le génie avec une année d’école d’application à Metz. Général d’Empire Il se distingue dans l’armée du Rhin, est blessé à Mannheim, promu capitaine le 22 mars 1800. Il rejoint l’Italie, aide au franchissement du Mincio et participe à la bataille de Montebello, puis passe quelques années dans la réorganisation du génie dans l’Ouest. En 1805, il fournit un travail très remarqué de reconnaissance en Autriche, jusqu’à Vienne, montrant comment éviter les forts et points de résistance intermédiaires : il est promu chef de bataillon.
