    Josef Tal on the Cusp of Israeli Statehood, or, The Simultaneity of Adjacency and Oppositionality Assaf Shelleg Acta Musicologica, Volume 91, Number 2, 2019, pp. 146-167 (Article) Published by International Musicological Society For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/741611 Access provided at 28 Nov 2019 16:05 GMT from Tel Aviv University i i i i Josef Tal on the Cusp of Israeli Statehood, or, The Simultaneity of Adjacency and Oppositionality Assaf Shelleg Jerusalem To the amateur composer who comes to this country with an inheritance of Russian of Balkan folk tunes, the absorption of the Oriental Jewish and Arabian music is a gain. The traditionalism of his original country receives a new accent. To the professional composer whose material is the European art-music, the Jewish and Arab-Palestinian folklore opens up a fertile and rejuvenating world. A few will attach certain ourishes, some popular syl- lables to the iron structure of modern art-language; in other words they write a kind of “quotation-music” with wrong notes.1 [Sharett’s music] demonstrates neither melodic templates in their conven- tional form nor harmonies using parallel fourths and fths mixed with seconds—a falsied acoustic substitute; nor is there any articial immer- sion in the past in the form of shallow mimicry of biblical chants. We must not follow the easy path of success, but rather aspire to achieve in our spiritual creation what we had accomplished politically.2 The statements “‘quotation music’ with wrong notes,” “fal- sied acoustics,” and “shallow mimicry of biblical chants” could have equally come from either of the composers, Stefan Wolpe or Josef Tal.

  • Georges Thill « Aux Bords Lointains Dont Nul Mortel N’Approche… »
    1 Je crois entendre encore… Georges Thill « Aux bords lointains dont nul mortel n’approche… » J’ai intitulé la causerie d’aujourd’hui : « Aux bords lointains dont nul mortel n’approche », d’abord parce qu’il s’agit d’un hommage au ténor Georges Thill et que ces quelques mots disent les sommets interprétatifs dont je voudrais vous donner aujourd’hui un modeste écho. Echo qui, comme notre déclaration d’amour à Victoria de Los Angeles, il y a deux semaines, va, je l’espère, nous faire rêver mais aussi, je le crains, sonner le glas lugubre d’un certain art du chant, d’une école française de chant dont la gloire, universelle au tournant du XXème siècle, n’est plus à présent qu’un souvenir évanescent. Certes le vaillant Roberto Alagna, Benjamin Berheim et une théorie de magnifiques cantatrices, actrices autant que chanteuses, tous aguerris à des techniques jadis négligées, me font mentir. Mais Georges Thill, dans les témoignages sonores qu’il nous a laissés, dénonce la pénurie de grandes pointures – soprano dramatique et ténor héroïque – qui rendent si problématique toute programmation wagnérienne. « Aux bords lointains dont nul mortel n’approche… », c’est aussi pour moi un souvenir d’enfance. Je ne suis pas si vieux que je n’ai toujours connu le microsillon, désormais baptisé vinyle, quand nous disions 33 tours ou 30 cm, parce qu’il existait aussi des 25 cm. Mais, comme dans les familles rien ne se perd, il n’était pas rare de tomber, dans les années soixante, sur des piles de « vieux » 78 tours, lourds et raides.

  • A Librettist's Reflections on Opera in Our Times
    Israel Eliraz A LIBRETTIST'S REFLECTIONS ON OPERA IN OUR TIMES [1] Pierre Boulez may have mourned the death of the opera and suggested setting fire to opera houses (he has repented since and has even written in this rnusical form himsel~, but the Old Lady is still going strong. She is no Ionger as regal and as much admired as in the 18th century, nor is she as popular and vital as she was in mid-I9th century for bold young rivals have entered the arena: film, radio, musicals and television. But reviewing the new operas written in this century, from MOSES UND ARON by Schoenberg and WOZZECK by Berg, to works by Luigi Dallapiccola, lldebrando Pizzetti, Werner Egk, Marcel Delannoy and others, one is taken by surprise by the abundance, versatility and ingenuity in musical, theatrical and ideological terms, of modern opera. What the rnusical avant -garde considered a defunct creature, a 'dinosaur' of sorts (this strange animal is over 370 years old), became, to their dismay, a phoenix redux. At tirnes it metarnorphosed into political drarna (Weiii-Brecht); at others it returned to the oratory form (Stravinsky, Honegger, Debussy), and on still other occasions it turns upon itself with laudable irony, as in Mauricio Kagel's STAATSTHEATER. Anylhing can happen in an opera, all is allowed and, if one rnay venture to express some optirnisrn - which is not easy in our province - it still has some surprises in store for us. [2] Music Iovers have been accustorned to think that it is in the nature of opera to address the 'larger issues'- biblical, rnylhological, historical, national.

  • 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.

  • 07 – Spinning the Record
    VI. THE STEREO ERA In 1954, a timid and uncertain record industry took the plunge to begin investing heav- ily in stereophonic sound. They were not timid and uncertain because they didn’t know if their system would work – as we have seen, they had already been experimenting with and working the kinks out of stereo sound since 1932 – but because they still weren’t sure how to make a home entertainment system that could play a stereo record. Nevertheless, they all had their various equipment in place, and so that year they began tentatively to make recordings using the new medium. RCA started, gingerly, with “alternate” stereo tapes of monophonic recording sessions. Unfortunately, since they were still uncertain how the results would sound on home audio, they often didn’t mark and/or didn’t file the alternate stereo takes properly. As a result, the stereo versions of Charles Munch’s first stereo recordings – Berlioz’ “Roméo et Juliette” and “Symphonie Fanastique” – disappeared while others, such as Fritz Reiner’s first stereo re- cordings (Strauss’ “Also Sprach Zarathustra” and the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 with Ar- thur Rubinstein) disappeared for 20 years. Oddly enough, their prize possession, Toscanini, was not recorded in stereo until his very last NBC Symphony performance, at which he suf- fered a mental lapse while conducting. None of the performances captured on that date were even worth preserving, let alone issuing, and so posterity lost an opportunity to hear his last half-season with NBC in the excellent sound his artistry deserved. Columbia was even less willing to pursue stereo.

Along with the wistful reference to his age and the affectionate greeting, the baritone manages to offer a miniature disquisition on the character of Mozart’s anti-hero, whom he hopes to have presented with “chic” and “youthfulness” (Figure 0.1).

  • Mercadante's Emma D' Antiochia
    Il maestro delle Gabalette? Mercadante's Emma d' Antiochia So zorv we know what he really meant when he said 'Ho.-Bando aUe Gabalette trivioli, esilio a'crescendo- Tessilura cortq: meno replirhe - Qualchz novitd nelle cadenze - Curata la parte dtammatica: I'orchestra ricca, senza coprire il catuo - Tolti i lunghi assoli ne'pezii concertati, che obbligavano le alne parti al essere fredde, a danno dell'azione - Poco gran cassa. e pochissima banda -" Now we get the message, Mercadante was talking about Emma d'Antiochiq. By 1838 and in this his welt-publicised tetter of reform to his friend Florimo he had come to a decision - he was never going to write an opera like Emma ever again. We can only be thanldut. At the time of writing this opera, four years earlier, the altamurese rnaestro had a real problem - he was struggling to draw his head out of a self-inllicted Rossinian noose. WhileBo/ena , Norma ard Lucrezia Borgia chalked-up a high-tide elsewhere on the ltalian stage the operas which marked Mercadante's retum from exile in Spain foundered in a rag-bag of empty gestures, predictable rcutines, pretty tunes in triple+ime and cringe nak;:.ng bande - a penchant for the most obvious dramatic-clich6s imaginable flanked by stage-business which simply did not come-off. Few big moments, dreary plots, vulgarity triumphant with knee-jerk music heavily dependent upon great pr te donnc. Thus Eruma d'Afitiochia created as a starring role for Giuditta Pasta. Staged at la Fenice on 8 March 1834 together with " cinq poupief' including Eugenia Tadolini as Adelia, Domenico Donzelli as Ruggiero and Orazio Cartagenova as Conado it made the tiniest of splashes: Pasta was out of yoice and sang only the music that pleased her; the house was unruly (as usua[); the press unsympathetic.
