Moniuszko Was Poland’S Leading Nineteenth-Century Opera Composer, and Has Been Called the Man Who Bridges the Gap Between Chopin and Szymanowski

CMYK NAXOS NAXOS Stanisław Moniuszko was Poland’s leading nineteenth-century opera composer, and has been called the man who bridges the gap between Chopin and Szymanowski. In addition to operatic works he also composed purely orchestral music, and this recording reveals that his essentially lyric style could function perfectly in the non-vocal medium. There is thematically memorable music from the comic opera Hrabina (The Countess), as well as enduring Polish-flavoured dance DDD MONIUSZKO: scenes from his most popular and famous stage work, Halka. The spirited Mazurka from MONIUSZKO: Straszny Dwór (The Haunted Manor), Moniuszko’s crowning operatic achievement, draws freely 8.573610 and inventively from his national heritage.

Archives and Blank Spots: Scholarly Perspectives for Recovering Polish Music (1794–1945)
Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology 19, 2019 @PTPN Poznań 2019, DOI 10.14746/ism.2019.19.6 MARCIN GMYS https://orcid.org/0000–0002–3844–0031 Institute of Musicology, Faculty of Arts, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań Archives and blank spots: scholarly perspectives for recovering Polish music (1794–1945) ABSTRACT: In this article, the author tries to present the issue of blank spots in the history of Polish music since 1794 (the world premiere of Cud mniemany, czyli Krakowiacy i Górale [The supposed mirtacle, or Cracovians and highlanders] composed by Jan Stefani to the libretto of Wojciech Bogu- sławski is regarded as a symbolic beginning of national style in Polish music) up to the end of the Se- cond World War. It was a great period in history when Poland twice did not exist as a state (between 1795 and 1918 and between 1939 and 1945). At the beginning the attention is drawn to the Polish music in the nineteenth century. Author describes new discoveries such as the Second Piano Quintet in E flat Major (with double bass instead of second cello) by Józef Nowakowski (Chopin’s friend), and String Quartets op. 1 and monu- mental oratorio Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi by Józef Elsner who was Chopin’s teacher in the Conservatory of Music in Warsaw (Elsner’s Passio discovered at the end of the twentieth century is regarded now as the most outstanding religious piece in the history of Polish music in the nineteenth century). Among other works author also mentions romantic opera Monbar (1838) by Ignacy Feliks Dobrzyński and first opera of Stanisław Moniuszko Die Schweitzerhütte (about 1839) written to the German libretto during composer’s studies at Singakademie Berlin.

Operatic Terminology the Words of an Opera Are Known As the Libretto (Literally "Little Book")
Opera 1 Opera Opera is an art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text (called a libretto) and musical score.[1] Opera is part of the Western classical music tradition.[2] Opera incorporates many of the elements of spoken theatre, such as acting, scenery, and costumes and sometimes includes dance. The performance is typically given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble. Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century (with Jacopo Peri's lost Dafne, produced in Florence around 1597) and soon The Palais Garnier of the Paris Opéra, one of the world's most famous opera spread through the rest of Europe: Schütz in houses. Germany, Lully in France, and Purcell in England all helped to establish their national traditions in the 17th century. In the 18th century, Italian opera continued to dominate most of Europe, except France, attracting foreign composers such as Handel. Opera seria was the most prestigious form of Italian opera, until Gluck reacted against its artificiality with his "reform" operas in the 1760s. Today the most renowned figure of late 18th century opera is Mozart, who began with opera seria but is most famous for his Italian comic operas, especially The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Così fan tutte, as well as The Magic Flute, a landmark in the German tradition. The first third of the 19th century saw the highpoint of the bel canto style, with Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini all creating works that are still performed today. It also saw the advent of Grand Opera typified by the works of Meyerbeer.
