Examination Committee Member Dean Gronemeier, DMA, JD. Examination Committee Member Joe Bynum, MFA. Graduate College Faculty Representative ii ABSTRACT This doctoral dissertation provides information on how to develop the young dramatic soprano, specifically through more concentrated focus on the breath. Proper breathing is considered the single most important skill a singer will learn, but its methodology continues to mystify multitudes of singers and voice teachers. Voice professionals often write treatises with a chapter or two devoted to breathing, whose explanations are extremely varied, complex or vague. Young dramatic sopranos, whose voices are unwieldy and take longer to develop are at a particular disadvantage for absorbing a solid vocal technique. First, a description, classification and brief history of the young dramatic soprano is discussed along with a retracing of breath methodologies relevant to the young dramatic soprano’s development.

  • JOHN MAUCERI Director, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra
    JOHN MAUCERI Director, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra This summer John Mauceri celebrates his unprecedented 16th season with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. He conducted his 300 th concert with the orchestra in the summer of 2005. In the fall of 2005 he led Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos , with soprano Jane Eaglen in the title role at the Pittsburgh Opera where he began his sixth season as Music Director. In October he appeared as Music Director and Conductor of the Motion Picture and Television Fund Benefit in Los Angeles which starred Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kristin Chenoweth, Megan Mulally, and Hank Azaria among many others, in an evening entitled “A Fine Romance,” a concept based on the newly published book by Darcie Denkert. The evening raised over one million dollars for the charity. Also this past fall, the Young Musicians Foundation presented him with the Magic Baton Award at the Beverly Hilton Hotel hosted by YMF chairman Merv Griffin. HBO concert master, Bruce Dukov, bid on and won a spectacular Aspen weekend, and Maestro Mauceri added a Salvador Dali etching to his print collection in support of the YMF. Mauceri has recently returned from Leipzig, Germany where he conducted the legendary Gewandhaus Orchestra for the 7 th consecutive season. He will be appearing with them in four different programs in 2007 and 2008. This winter he also completed the world premiere recording of Danny Elfman's first work for symphonic orchestra, Serenada Schizophrana, which was recorded in Los Angeles. In February, John Mauceri performed and recorded Porgy and Bess with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in a version not heard since its world premiere production.

  • SYMPHONY #1, “A S (1903-9) Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)
    presents SYMPHONY #1, “A SEA SYMPHONY” (1903-9) Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) Performed by the UNIVERSITY SYMPHONY & COMBINED CHORUS Peter Erös, conductor 7:30 PM March 14, 2008 Meany Theater PROGRAM A Song for All Seas, All Ships On the Beach at night, Alone The Waves The Explorers A SEA SYMPHONY is a remarkably evocative piece of music by Ralph Vaughan Williams for a large choir, soprano and baritone soloists and orchestra. The text is from Walt Whitman’s collection “Leaves of Grass.” This is perfect for Vaughan Williams, encompassing everything from descrip– tions of ships at sea, daring explorers and innovators, introspection on the meaning of progress, the Second Coming, and a transcendent final voyage to the afterlife. Bertrand Russell introduced Vaughan Williams to the poet’s work while they were both undergraduates at Cambridge. The piece is a true choral symphony, where the choir leads the themes and drives the action, rather than merely intoning the words and pro– viding a bit of vocal color; it is more like an oratorio than a symphony. It is Vaughan Williams’ first symphonic work, and such was his lack of confidence in the area that he returned to study under Ravel in Paris for three months before he felt able to complete it. It was premiered in 1910 at the Leeds Festival. There are four movements: “A Song for all Seas, all Ships,” “On the Beach at night, Alone,” “The Waves,” and “The Explorers.” The first is an introduction, dealing with the sea, sailing ships and steamers, sailors and flags.

  • Donald Runnicles Leads Cso in Program of Works by Elgar, Strauss, and Britten
    For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: April 29, 2016 Eileen Chambers, 312-294-3092 Photos Available By Request [email protected] DONALD RUNNICLES LEADS CSO IN PROGRAM OF WORKS BY ELGAR, STRAUSS, AND BRITTEN May 5, 7 and 10, 2016 CHICAGO—Conductor Donald Runnicles leads the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) in concerts on Thursday, May 5, at 8:00 p.m., Saturday, May 7, at 8:00 p.m., and Tuesday, May 10, at 7:30 p.m. The program includes Benjamin Britten’s Sinfonia da requiem, Richard Strauss’ gripping tone poem Death and Transfiguration, and Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations. Britten’s Sinfonia da requiem, opens the program. Written in 1940 as a commission for the 2600th anniversary celebrations of the Japanese emperor Hirohito’s ruling dynasty, the piece went unused for the occasion due to its notably mournful tone. Britten’s beautifully orchestrated and strikingly powerful work was later premiered by the New York Philharmonic in Carnegie Hall in 1941. The program continues with one of Richard Strauss’ early tone poems, Death and Transfiguration, which traces a man’s journey through the pain of death to his eventual redemption. Concluding the evening’s program is Elgar’s Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 36 (Enigma) which contains 14 charming and witty musical portraits of the composer’s circle of acquaintances and one of Elgar himself. Arguably one of the most popular English classical works of the 20th century, the Enigma Variations was given its U.S. premiere by the CSO in 1902. Internationally renowned conductor Donald Runnicles serves as General Music Director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Chief Conductor of BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and Music Director of the Grand Teton Music Festival, as well as Principal Guest Conductor with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
