Doctoral Dissertations. 580. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/580 ABSTRACT The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias Joshua Michael May University of Connecticut, 2014 W. A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice.

  • A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
    A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources.

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is probably one of the best composers ever born. But this is not why I decided to speak about him. I decided to speak about Mozart, because I like his music and because I admire him as a person. What do you think, how many works did he write in 35 years of his life??? He left nearly 1000 musical works, including 50 symphonies, 27 piano concerts and seven operas, which are among the best masterpieces of all times. He was born in Salzburg, Austria, on January 27, 1756. He was baptised as JOHANNES CHRYSOSTOMUS WOLFGANGUS THEOPHILUS MOZART. His father was a musician, for this reason Mozart first met music already in the cradle. He was extrordinarily gifted for music. Actualy he was considered a Child genius. In the age of six he was able to perform on piano, violin and organ. He had a remarkable talent for sight-reading and improvisation. When most children learned how to write and read he already wrote five short piano pieces, which have been still frequently performed. In 1762, when Wolfgang was 7 his father took him on the first of many successful concert tours through the courts of Europe. During this period Mozart composed several sonatas, a symphony and many other works. In 1769, when he was only 13, Mozart was appointed as a concertmaster by the archbishop of Salzburg. In the same year he composed his first German operetta, Bastien und Bastienne. At the age of 14 he was commissioned to write a serious opera, Mithridates, King of Pontus, which completely established his already phenomenal reputation.

Aus vielfachen Quellen erhellt sich das ehrliche Bemühen des Jüngeren, durch genaue Beobachtung des Meisters seinen eigenen Weg zu entfalten. Vieles weist insbesondere im symphoni- schen Schaffen Mozarts direkt auf Haydn, besonders manifest wird der Einfluss freilich im Bereich des Streichquartetts als jener Gattung, die insbesondere ab den sechziger Jahren des 18. Jahrhunderts in ihrer seither tradierten Form von Haydn „erfunden“ wurde.

  • Antonio Salieri's Revenge
    Antonio Salieri’s Revenge newyorker.com/magazine/2019/06/03/antonio-salieris-revenge By Alex Ross 1/13 Many composers are megalomaniacs or misanthropes. Salieri was neither. Illustration by Agostino Iacurci On a chilly, wet day in late November, I visited the Central Cemetery, in Vienna, where 2/13 several of the most familiar figures in musical history lie buried. In a musicians’ grove at the heart of the complex, Beethoven, Schubert, and Brahms rest in close proximity, with a monument to Mozart standing nearby. According to statistics compiled by the Web site Bachtrack, works by those four gentlemen appear in roughly a third of concerts presented around the world in a typical year. Beethoven, whose two-hundred-and-fiftieth birthday arrives next year, will supply a fifth of Carnegie Hall’s 2019-20 season. When I entered the cemetery, I turned left, disregarding Beethoven and company. Along the perimeter wall, I passed an array of lesser-known but not uninteresting figures: Simon Sechter, who gave a counterpoint lesson to Schubert; Theodor Puschmann, an alienist best remembered for having accused Wagner of being an erotomaniac; Carl Czerny, the composer of piano exercises that have tortured generations of students; and Eusebius Mandyczewski, a magnificently named colleague of Brahms. Amid these miscellaneous worthies, resting beneath a noble but unpretentious obelisk, is the composer Antonio Salieri, Kapellmeister to the emperor of Austria. I had brought a rose, thinking that the grave might be a neglected and cheerless place. Salieri is one of history’s all-time losers—a bystander run over by a Mack truck of malicious gossip.
