Symphonic Constructions of American National Identity, 1840–1870 MUSIC OF A MORE PERFECT UNION: SYMPHONIC CONSTRUCTIONS OF AMERICAN NATIONAL IDENTITY, 1840–1870 Douglas William Shadle A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved By: Mark Evan Bonds, Chair Annegret Fauser Jon Finson Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer ABSTRACT DOUGLAS SHADLE: Music of a More Perfect Union: Symphonic Constructions of American National Identity, 1840–1870 (Under the direction of Mark Evan Bonds) The genre of the symphony has long been recognized as a medium for constructing national identities in German, French, and Russian culture, yet little is known about the genre’s history in the United States. Between 1840 and 1870, the era of the first generation of American orchestral composers, it served as a potent means of expressing American national identity. During this period of American cultural history, two separate processes shaped conceptions of national identity: decolonization from Great Britain and a nascent sense of imperial expansionism. This dissertation explores how mid-century American symphonic composers musically constructed national identities reflecting these conceptions and argues that this practice continued well into the twentieth century. Composers who focused on decolonization generally employed one of two separate strategies. The first was emulation, or copying European symphonic models with the intention of continuing the symphonic tradition. George Frederick Bristow (1825– 1898), for example, wrote symphonies that might be mistaken for music by Mendelssohn or Schumann. The second strategy was exceptionalism, or selectively omitting traditional stylistic elements in order to pave new musical pathways. The exceptionalist William Henry Fry (1813–1864) developed an idiosyncratic style that eclectically blended progressive symphonic aesthetics, Italian opera, and American popular song. Each ii composer’s symphonies answered the question of how the United States should define itself with respect to the Old World. The composers who focused on expansionism were more concerned with how the United States should define itself with respect to the rest of the Western Hemisphere. Anthony Philip Heinrich (1781–1861), for example, constructed a national identity built on the precepts of Manifest Destiny. His symphonies assimilate an exotic musical style intended to represent Native Americans and the aura of the American landscape into the fabric of European classicism and American popular music. Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829–1869) painted musical portraits of nations in Latin America that were heavily laced with continental American musical styles. These symphonies promoted the blossoming imperialist agenda of many Americans at mid-century. iii To Avery iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many individuals and organizations, all of whom contributed in significant ways to the completion of this dissertation. I owe my advisor, Evan Bonds, an incalculable debt of gratitude, because he stuck with me until the end, despite my procrastination and sporadic work habits. I am grateful for his dedication, support, and encouragement. The other members of my dissertation committee, especially Mark Katz and Phil Vandermeer, gave me excellent feedback throughout the writing process and offered many helpful suggestions for improvement as this project grows. I received funding for this dissertation from several sources, each of which deserves separate thanks. The Library Company of Philadelphia and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania sponsored research on William Henry Fry and music in Philadelphia; a special round of thanks goes to James Green and Connie King at the Library Company. The UNC Graduate and Professional Student Federation and the UNC Smith Research Grant provided funding for research on Charles Jerome Hopkins at Harvard University. The UNC Royster Society of Fellows provided five years of full funding between 2004 and 2009; I am particularly indebted to Sandra Hoeflich, Associate Dean for Interdisciplinary Education, for her support during that time. The Society for American Music provided travel funds for me to present my research at its annual conferences in 2007, 2008, and 2010. v The librarians at UNC made my work easy. Music librarians Phil Vandermeer and Diane Steinhaus accepted many requests to purchase the materials that I needed. The Interlibrary Borrowing division was very efficient with my requests and never let me down. Many friends and colleagues left an imprint on my work. My fellow cohorts from the fall of 2004 matriculating class challenged me time and again in seminars and beyond. Several scholars outside UNC offered support on specific aspects of my work and deserve thanks: Katherine Preston, Michael Pisani, Doug Bomberger, Charles Freeman, Joseph Horowitz, Travis Stimeling, and Sarah Gerk. The list of friends who offered moral support is too long to list, but I would like to thank Leslie Parkins for helping me see this thing through to the end. My wife, Karen, deserves the most thanks because she let me pursue what I love before making me get a real job. If it weren’t for her patience, kindness, encouragement, and love, I never would have finished. How she managed to take care of our infant son and finish her dissertation a year faster than I did will forever remain a source of inspiration for me. I watched her do it, but I couldn’t have done it myself. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................. ix LIST OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES ......................................................................................x INTRODUCTION ...............................................................................................................1 American National Identity and the Symphony .......................................................4 Constructions of National Identity in the American Symphony: An Overview ........................................................................9 Chapter I.

  • Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet
    Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet: A Schleiermacherian Interpretation Emer Nestor This article will discuss the application of Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher’s (1768-1834) hermeneutical methods to a general reading of Tchaikovsky’s fantasy-overture, Romeo and Juliet. The German philosopher gave a lecture series on hermeneutics at the University of Berlin in 1819, and from his research on the subject he invariably redefined this field of philosophical thinking. The central elements of his ‘whole and parts’ theory will be discussed as an alternative mode of investigative music analysis. Richard E. Palmer presents six modern definitions of hermeneutics as follows: 1) The theory of biblical exegesis 2) General philological methodology 3) The science of all linguistic understanding 4) The methodological foundation of Geisteswissenschaften 5) Phenomenology of existence and of existential understanding 6) The systems of interpretation, both recollective and iconoclastic used by man to reach the meaning behind myths and symbols.1 The term ‘hermeneutics’ is a word which is prominent in theological, philosophical and literary circles but relatively new to the discipline of musicology.2 Ian Bent asserts that it ‘came to prominence in writing about music implicitly in the nineteenth century and explicitly in the early twentieth century’.3 He remarks that no author in the nineteenth century 1 Richard E. Palmer.: Hermeneutics: Interpretation Theory in Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Heidegger and Gadamer (Evanstown: Northwestern University Press, 1969), 3 3 - Hereafter referred to as Palmer: Hermeneutics. 2 For a more in-depth discussion of hermeneutics see Kurt Mueller-Vollmer: The Hermeneutics Reader: Texts of the German Tradition from the Enlightenment to the Present (Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1986).

    Resonancias vol. 19, n°35, junio-noviembre 2014, pp. 11-24 La recepción temprana de Wagner en Estados Unidos: Wagner en la Kleindeutschland de Nueva York, 1854-1874 F. Javier Albo Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA. [email protected] Resumen Este trabajo se centra en la recepción de la música de Richard Wagner, limitado a un marco geográfico específico, el de la ciudad de Nueva York –en concreto el distrito alemán de la ciudad, conocido como Kleindeutschland– y temporal, el comprendido entre la primera ejecución documentada de una obra de Wagner en la ciudad, en 1854, y la definitiva entronización del compositor como legítimo representante de la tradición musical alemana a partir del estreno de Lohengrin en la Academy of Music, en 1874. Se destaca la labor de promoción a cargo de los emigrantes alemanes, en su papel de mediadores, en los años 50 y 60 del siglo XIX, una labor fundamental ya que gracias a ella germinó la semilla del culto a Wagner que eclosionaría durante la Gilded Age, la “Edad dorada” del desarrollo económico y artístico finisecular, que afectó a todo el país pero de manera especial a Nueva York. Asimismo, se incluye una aproximación a la recepción en la crítica periodística neoyorquina durante el periodo en cuestión. Palabras clave: Wagner; Recepción temprana en Nueva York; Músicos alemanes y emigración, 1850-1875; Crítica periodística. Abstract This study discusses the early reception of Richard Wagner’s music in New York, starting with the first documented performance of a work by Wagner in the city, in 1854, and the momentous production of Lohengrin at the Academy of Music, in 1874.
