  • 1 the Roots of Birtwistle's Theatrical Expression
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89534-7 - Harrison Birtwistle’s Operas and Music Theatre David Beard Excerpt More information 1 The roots of Birtwistle’s theatrical expression: from Pantomime to Down by the Greenwood Side With six major operas, around eight music dramas, and a body of incidental music to his name, Harrison Birtwistle has made a significant contribution to contemporary opera and music theatre during a period that spans more than forty years. This study is concerned not only to reflect the importance of these stage works by examining them in some detail but also to convey their varied musical and intellectual worlds. Previous studies have rightly focused on Birtwistle’s perennial concerns, such as myth, ritual, cyclical journeys, varied repetition, verse–refrain structures, instrumental role-play, layers and lines.1 These characteristics highlight consistency throughout Birtwistle’s oeuvre and are a mark of his formalist stance. By contrast, this book is motivated by a belief that the stage works – in which instrumental and physical drama, song and narrative are combined – demand interpre- tation from multiple, inter-disciplinary perspectives. While not denying obvious or important relations between works, what follows is rather more focused on differences: Birtwistle’s choice of contrasting narrative subjects, his collaborations with nine librettists, his varied pre-compositional ideas and working methods, his experience with different directors, producers and others, all distinguish one stage work from another. A recurring theme is therefore a consideration of ways in which Birtwistle’s initial concepts are informed, altered or conveyed differently in each case. Moreover, as ideas evolve, from the composer’s musical sketches to the final production, mul- tiple meanings accrue that are particular to each drama.

  • The Anguished Cry of Orpheus Has Haunted Harrison Birtwistle All His Composing Life
    Hilary Finch The Times 17 August 2009 Euridice! The anguished cry of Orpheus has haunted Harrison Birtwistle all his composing life. This summer he wrote a new Orpheus piece; and, while we wait for a long-overdue new production of his great opera The Mask of Orpheus (premiered in 1986), the Proms has boldly presented a semi-staging of its central act. This focuses on Orpheus’ journey to the Underworld to retrieve Euridice, except that this time he never gets there. It’s all a dream — with some of Birtwistle’s most sensuously lyrical and light-dappled music turning to a nightmare of rhythmic distortion, layering, and electronic sampling — and with a strangely potent awakening. Thanks to the superb playing of the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Martyn Brabbins, the skilful sound design of Ian Dearden and thoughtful stage direction by Tim Hopkins — including a glittering of hand mirrors — this was unforgettable. Paul Driver Sunday Times 23 August 2009 Orpheus made an overt connection with a work by Harrison Birtwistle in that BBCSO concert: his prodigious electro-acoustic opera, The Mask of Orpheus, whose relentlessly dissonant, hour-long central act (The Arches) was given a stunning concert rendering with the help of the BBC Singers. Andrew Clements Guardian ***** Monday 17 August 2009 The Mask of Orpheus is Harrison Birtwistle's masterpiece and the finest British opera of the last half-century, but the score's scale and complexity have conspired to limit its opportunities – there has been just one complete performance in concert since the premiere at ENO in 1986. Even as part of its celebration of Birtwistle's 75th birthday, the resources of the Proms couldn't run to programming the whole work, so Martyn Brabbins and Ryan Wigglesworth conducted just the hour-long second act, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and BBC Singers, and a cast led by Alan Oke as Orpheus the Man.

  • Adaptation and Narrative Structure in the Orpheus Myth Ryan Cadrette
    Tracing Eurydice: Adaptation and Narrative Structure in the Orpheus Myth Ryan Cadrette Master’s Thesis in The Department of Communication Studies Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Media Studies) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 2013 © Ryan Cadrette, 2013 iii Abstract Tracing Eurydice: Adaptation and Narrative Structure in the Orpheus Myth Ryan Cadrette The primary purpose of this thesis is to postulate a working method of critical inquiry into the processes of narrative adaptation by examining the consistencies and ruptures of a story as it moves across representational form. In order to accomplish this, I will draw upon the method of structuralist textual analysis employed by Roland Barthes in his essay S/Z to produce a comparative study of three versions of the Orpheus myth from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. By reviewing the five codes of meaning described by Barthes in S/Z through the lens of contemporary adaptation theory, I hope to discern a structural basis for the persistence of adapted narrative. By applying these theories to texts in a variety of different media, I will also assess the limitations of Barthes’ methodology, evaluating its utility as a critical tool for post-literary narrative forms. iv Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Peter van Wyck, for his reassurance that earlier drafts of this thesis were not necessarily indicative of insanity, and, hopefully, for his forgiveness of my failure to incorporate all of his particularly insightful feedback. I would also like to thank Matt Soar and Darren Wershler for agreeing to actually read the peculiar monstrosity I have assembled here.

  • Der Auf Orpheus (Und/Oder Eurydike)
    Reinhard Kapp Chronologisches Verzeichnis (in progress) der auf Orpheus (und/oder Eurydike) bezogenen oder zu beziehenden Opern, Kantaten, Instrumentalmusiken, literarischen Texte, Theaterstücke, Filme und historiographischen Arbeiten (Stand: 5. 10. 2018) Für Klaus Heinrich Da das primäre Interesse bei der folgenden Zusammenstellung musikgeschichtlicher Art ist, stehen am Anfang der Einträge die Komponisten, soweit es sich um musikalische Werke handelt – auch dann, wenn die zeitgenössische Einschätzung wohl eher den Librettisten die Priorität eingeräumt hätte. Unter einem bestimmten Jahr steht wiederum die Musik an erster Stelle, gefolgt von Theater, Film, Dichtung und Wissenschaft. Vielfach handelt es sich um Nachrichten aus zweiter Hand; ob etwa die genannten Stücke sich erhalten haben, ließ sich noch nicht in allen Fällen ermitteln. Doch ist u.U. die bloße Tatsache der Aufführung schon Information genug. Musik- bzw. literaturwissenschaftliche Sekundärliteratur zu einzelnen Stücken bzw. Texten wurde in der Regel nicht verzeichnet. Die Liste beruht nicht auf systematischen Erhebungen, daher sind die Angaben von unterschiedlicher Genauigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit. Ergänzungen und Korrekturen werden dankbar entgegengenommen. Eine erste rudimentäre Version erschien in: talismane. Klaus Heinrich zum 70. Geburtstag , hsg. v.

Ante esto, cabe preguntarse de dónde viene la fascinación que ha contribuido a popularizar y preservar la historia órfica, y la respuesta nos conduce a diferentes orígenes: Primeramente, de la atractiva dualidad que conjuga su mito, dos extremos: el amor y la muerte; la luz, representada en la naturaleza en todo su esplendor y en la radiante Eurídice, y la oscuridad, contenida en sucatábasis o descensus ad inferos.

  • SIR HARRISON BIRTWISTLE on HIS SONGS Interviewed by Stephan Meier
    SIR HARRISON BIRTWISTLE ON HIS SONGS Interviewed by Stephan Meier The part of this interview between ** can be heard as track R on the CD. Yesterday the Sinfonieorchester des Bayrischen Rundfunks premiered your piano concerto, entitled Responses: Sweet Disorder and the Carefully Careless.1 This weekend we have you as a guest in Hannover and on Monday you go to Porto to attend the next performances of the piano concerto. Touring round Europe – meanwhile, when do you compose? I’m composing now. I’m not being funny, but you know, then there is the whole question of sitting down and doing it. I’ve been busy this year because I had a birthday2 and there’s been a lot of celebrations around. But I’ve still been working and the important thing about working, which I suppose all of you, all you, everybody realises, is that you, even in small pieces, in small packets, if you’re consistent and keep at it, you can create a lot of work. But obviously, when you are moving around Europe, you can’t do that, but I’ve worked pretty hard this year – apart from being here, as it were. So would you, like Stravinsky, note something on a napkin? I don’t know I’d like to be like Stravinsky. For putting it on music-paper you go to your working place. Yes, and I’ve always had a special room, a space. For many years I built in three, maybe four, places octagonal studios, but my latest house doesn’t have that because (I don’t know if you have that in Germany) of building regulations on interesting buildings: as soon as you want to do anything interesting, you’re not allowed to do it; you’ve got to make it look as boring as everything else.
