3 Italian Opera Composers June 2020
Italian Culture June 2020 Dear Italian Culture Friends I thought that it might be interesting to look this week at the work of three Italian Opera Composers who later composed some liturgical works. In the case of two of the composers, we invariably think of their operatic output. These are Giuseppe Verdi and Gioachino Rossini. The third of them, Cherubini, also wrote a number of operas before turning to liturgical music In 1831 Rossini travelled to Spain with a friend, a banker named Alexandre Aguado, owner of Chateau Margaux, famous for its Bordeaux wine (claret). While he was there, he was commissioned by Fernández Varela, a state councillor, to write a setting of the liturgical text, the Stabat Mater. Although he began the work in 1831, it was not until 1841 that the final form was completed. It was premiered on Holy Saturday 1833 in the Chapel of San Felipe el Real in Madrid but this was the only performance of that version. The choice of Holy Saturday was appropriate as the work tells part of the story of the previous day, Good Friday, and perhaps it was the rush to complete it in time for that first performance which caused Rossini’s dissatisfaction with that version and caused him to continue to revise it. In fact, the first version was not solely the work of Rossini. It was a twelve-part piece of which Rossini had written Parts 1 and 5-9. His friend, Giovanni Tadolini, had written the rest but Rossini claimed it as his own work. Rossini, the product of a musical family from Pesaro, on the Adriatic coast - his father was a trumpeter and his mother a singer - had published his first composition at the age of 18 and the next year he was contracted to write operas and manage theatres in Naples. -
The Howard Mayer Brown Libretto Collection
• The Howard Mayer Brown Libretto Collection N.B.: The Newberry Library does not own all the libretti listed here. The Library received the collection as it existed at the time of Howard Brown's death in 1993, with some gaps due to the late professor's generosity In loaning books from his personal library to other scholars. Preceding the master inventory of libretti are three lists: List # 1: Libretti that are missing, sorted by catalog number assigned them in the inventory; List #2: Same list of missing libretti as List # 1, but sorted by Brown Libretto Collection (BLC) number; and • List #3: List of libretti in the inventory that have been recataloged by the Newberry Library, and their new catalog numbers. -Alison Hinderliter, Manuscripts and Archives Librarian Feb. 2007 • List #1: • Howard Mayer Brown Libretti NOT found at the Newberry Library Sorted by catalog number 100 BLC 892 L'Angelo di Fuoco [modern program book, 1963-64] 177 BLC 877c Balleto delli Sette Pianeti Celesti rfacsimile 1 226 BLC 869 Camila [facsimile] 248 BLC 900 Carmen [modern program book and libretto 1 25~~ Caterina Cornaro [modern program book] 343 a Creso.

Eduardo E Cristina
GIOACCHINO ROSSINI EDUARDO E CRISTINA Dramma per musica in due atti Prima rappresentazione: Venezia, Teatro San Benedetto, 24 IV 1819 Al seguito di una stagione assai impegnativa, Rossini si trovò a dover onorare un contratto con un teatro di Venezia. Rossini aveva dichiarato all'impresario sin dall'inizio che, non avendo il tempo di scrivere un'opera nuova, avrebbe adattato alle esigenze del nuovo libretto brani ancora sconosciuti a Venezia; ed infatti in quest'opera rielaborò tre partiture precedenti: Adelaide di Borgogna, Ricciardo e Zoraide, Ermione: soltanto poche scene di collegamento ed alcuni brevi brani furono composti appositamente. Leone Andrea Tottola ed il marchese Gherardo Bevilacqua Aldobrandini - fidi collaboratori rossiniani - adattarono alla musica il libretto di Giovanni Schmidt, scritto in origine per l'opera di Stefano Pavesi, Edoardo e Cristina (Napoli 1810); il libretto a stampa recava così la sigla dei tre poeti: "Dramma per musica di T. S. B.". Il risultato è un pastiche, con 19 brani adattati su 26. La pratica del "centone" è una costante nella storia dell'opera, ed è interessante notare come il melodramma, a Ottocento inoltrato, continuasse ad essere un soggetto da costruire su commissione, da smontare e rimontare a seconda delle esigenze. Privo di fondamento è peraltro l'aneddoto narrato da Stendhal nella Vie de Rossini secondo il quale un mercante napoletano, presente in sala alla "prima", si mise a cantare le arie anticipando gli interpreti: questo avrebbe mandato su tutte le furie l'impresario. Il Beyle non analizza musicalmente l'opera, ma il brano è l'occasione per riferire un aneddoto che gli è funzionale per criticare la pratica degli autoimprestiti, divenuta consuetudine nella produzione del Pesarese. -

Despite a battery of operatic transcriptions and a storied variation set on Bellini’s ‘Suoni la tromba’ (I puritani), his only completed opera, Don Sanche (1825), is typically classed as an unsuccessful juvenile work of dubious authorship.1 All other planned operas of the 1840s and 1850s remained the embryos of ambition, including Richard of Palestine (Walter Scott), Le corsaire (Byron/Dumas), Consuelo (George Sand), Jankó (Karl Beck), Spartacus (Oscar Wolff), Marguerite (Goethe),2 Divina commedia (Dante/Autran), Email: [email protected] While preparing this article I have accrued a number of debts. -
