A Mythic Heroine in <I> Der Rosenkavalier </I>
Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Volume 11 | Issue 1 Article 3 A Mythic Heroine in Der Rosenkavalier Bridget Ramzy Wilfrid Laurier University Recommended Citation Ramzy, Bridget (2018) "A Mythic Heroine in Der Rosenkavalier ," Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology: Vol. 11: Iss. 1, Article 3. A Mythic Heroine in Der Rosenkavalier Abstract This paper explores the Allomatische—Strauss and Hofmannsthal's concept of transformation by means of taking risk—through its application to Der Rosenkavalier's Marie-Therese (the Marschallin). The Allomatische’s very apparent presence throughout Strauss and Hofmannsthal’s collaborations in their “mythic” operas, urges its examination in Der Rosenkavlier. This paper explores the Marschallin's risk in context of gender, arguing that her self-acceptance as an ageing woman is an exceedingly brave act, that in-turn transforms her. In this paper, a character study of the Marschallin in Act I before the transformation, and after in Act III is presented and corroborated by interspersed musical examples. A comparison with other characters, both male and female, further establishes the gendered context of the Marschallin's risk. In conclusion, the Marschallin's brave risk of self-acceptance as an aging woman transforms her, and places her in the pantheon of Strauss and Hofmannsthal's mythic heroines. Keywords opera, gender, Der Rosenkavalier, the Marschallin, Richard Strauss A Mythic Heroine A Mythic Heroine in Der Rosenkavalier Bridget Ramzy Year II – Wilfrid Laurier University Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal were fascinated with the theme of transformation. Two of Strauss's tone poems, Tod und Verklärung and Eine Alpensinphonie, deal with the subject, and it is central in many of Strauss and Hofmannsthal’s collaborative works.1 Hofmannsthal wrote, “Transformation is the life of life itself, the real mystery of nature as creative force. -

Introduction
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-45659-3 - Rounding Wagner’s Mountain: Richard Strauss and Modern German Opera Bryan Gilliam Excerpt More information Introduction Chapter 1 suggests that, despite its obscurity, Guntram (1893) remains the central source for understanding the emergence of Strauss as a mature artist. The work, whose text was written by the composer, documents his early philosophical struggles with the issue of music and metaphysics. Earlier scholars of Strauss’s operatic oeuvre have explained its failure in terms of its miscarried Wagnerism, demonstrating that they themselves have failed to understand that Guntram ultimately rejects Wagnerian metaphysics. In 1949, at the end of his life, Strauss regretted that his biographers tended to downplay Guntram’s rejection of a Wagnerian Erlösung, thereby ignoring the breach between individual (subject) and the world (object), as the Minnesänger breaks his lyre and walks 1 away from his brotherhood and his beloved Freihild. In this single gesture, Strauss, who served as his own librettist on this work, suggests that if one systematically follows Schopenhauer to the end of his four-book World as Will and Representation,thefinal denial of the will must include a rejection of music. Feuersnot (1901), the co-subject, along with Salome, of Chapter 2, marked the end of a seven-year operatic hiatus in the wake of Guntram’s failure. During those years Strauss composed his mature tone poems, all of which exemplify a shift toward ego assertion foreshadowed by that breach between individual and collective treated in Guntram. Informed by Nietzsche and Stirner, these orchestral works feature an individual (whether the visionary hero of Ein Heldenleben or the delusional antihero of Don Quixote) at odds with a complacent society. -

For many Americans today that can seem like a distinction without much of a difference, but a century ago it was ichard trauss enough to make Strauss’ tenure at the Vienna State Opera a night- R S mare, rather than the dream job he had hoped it would be. Strauss stepped foot in Vienna for the first time in December 1882. ienna He wrote back home to his parents in Munich with all the savoir faire &V of a typical 18-year-old boy that it was “… just an ordinary city like Munich, only the houses are bigger, more palaces than inhabitants. t is natural we should equate Richard Strauss with Vienna. The girls aren’t any prettier than they are in Munich.” His weeklong After all, he wrote the quintessential Viennese opera, Der stay was designed to introduce himself to prominent musicians and Rosenkavalier, a glittering yet poignant work shot through with to make his music known. Toward that end he and his cousin, the vio- waltzes that seems to define the soul of the 18th-century city. The linist Benno Walter, gave a concert on the fifth of December in the old Ifact that Rosenkavalier is so much more than a nostalgic Neverland Bösendorfer concert rooms.

Richard Strauss's Eine Alpensinfonie
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository Richard Strauss’s Eine Alpensinfonie: An Analysis of Origins, Topics, and Symphonic Characteristics Jonathan Minnick Honors Thesis, Music Department University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: _____________________ Adviser: Prof. Andrea Bohlman Reader: Prof. Cora Palfy Reader: Prof. Cherie Ndaliko 2 PREFACE This thesis addresses Richard Strauss’s Eine Alpensinfonie’s unsettled program and assesses multiple accounts of the portrayal of the program and the evidence provided by each. In addition, I explore the ideas of landscape in relation to Eine Alpensinfonie and how Strauss manages the alpine landscape as played out through his music. This exploration is substantiated by a thorough melodic analysis of the piece, which has organized themes hierarchically and given them titles based on their arrangement, style, and position within the piece. There are multiple questions that this thesis addresses in relation to the program and the thematic material of Eine Alpensinfonie. Numerous Strauss scholars have provided suggestions on how the program could be interpreted, though there has not been a definite answer to the question of what the program is for this piece of music. The question that I ask is what are some of the different assertions made about the program of Eine Alpensinfonie and do they hold up to critical analysis of other evidence found throughout my own research. The thematic material in the piece has been analyzed thoroughly by Rainer Bayreuther in his comprehensive work on Eine Alpensinfonie, though I am adding to what he has already generated. -
A Hero's Work of Peace: Richard Strauss's FRIEDENSTAG
A HERO’S WORK OF PEACE: RICHARD STRAUSS’S FRIEDENSTAG BY RYAN MICHAEL PRENDERGAST THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in Music with a concentration in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Associate Professor Katherine R. Syer ABSTRACT Richard Strauss’s one-act opera Friedenstag (Day of Peace) has received staunch criticism regarding its overt militaristic content and compositional merits. The opera is one of several works that Strauss composed between 1933 and 1945, when the National Socialists were in power in Germany. Owing to Strauss’s formal involvement with the Third Reich, his artistic and political activities during this period have invited much scrutiny. The context of the opera’s premiere in 1938, just as Germany’s aggressive stance in Europe intensified, has encouraged a range of assessments regarding its preoccupation with war and peace. The opera’s defenders read its dramatic and musical components via lenses of pacifism and resistance to Nazi ideology. Others simply dismiss the opera as platitudinous. Eschewing a strict political stance as an interpretive guide, this thesis instead explores the means by which Strauss pursued more ambiguous and multidimensional levels of meaning in the opera. Specifically, I highlight the ways he infused the dramaturgical and musical landscapes of Friedenstag with burlesque elements. These malleable instances of irony open the opera up to a variety of fresh and fascinating interpretations, illustrating how Friedenstag remains a lynchpin for judiciously appraising Strauss’s artistic and political legacy. -

Arabella's Big Day.Pdf
Arabella 2018 insert.qxp_Arabella 2018 10/3/18 3:36 PM Page 1 B Y L ARRY R OTHE Arabella’s Big Day rabella came to life late in Germany’s Weimar years, that troubled, excit- Strauss’ ing gap between the Great War and Hitler’s ascent. But Arabella’s roots spring from an earlier time, whose formalities and graces the opera’s cre- nostalgic ators refused to abandon. The composer Richard Strauss and the poet Hugo von Hof- mannsthalA kept their distance from the cabarets of Weimar Berlin and Munich, from valentine to jazz and the jazz-inspired concert music of Kurt Weill and Paul Hindemith, the theater of Bertolt Brecht, the films of Fritz Lang, the paintings of George Grosz, and prints of Käthe Kollwitz. Strauss and Hofmannsthal emerged from a different era. In Arabella, Vienna is they recreated that era and preserved it. Most of Arabella’s first German audiences embraced the opera not as anachro- steeped in nism but as confirmation that past cultural glories still prevailed, and in it they saw a reassuring example of “German art,” a term the Nazis appropriated and befouled beauty by defining it racially and provincially. German it may be, yet Arabella belongs to the world and bears no national insignia. And while Hitler and Goebbels approved of the opera, the date of its premiere reveals not its affinity with the Führer’s cultural vision, but its distance. Arabella was first seen on July 1, 1933, seven months after Hitler assumed the chancellorship. Politician and composer worked simultaneously toward opposite ends.
