Opera Singers By QUSTAV KOBB^ A beautiful collection of photographs with biographical sketches of all the grand opera stars, including the newer artists. Such favorites as Sembrich, Nordica, Ternina, Melba, Eames, Calve, Plancon, and Caruso are represented in a variety of roles. One hundred and twenty-seven illustrations in all are given, twenty-nine of which are full-page portraits, forming the most interesting and complete collection of its kind ever published. The biographies are absolutely authentic, the facts being taken down from the lips of the singers themselves. The latter part of the volume, entitled " Opera Singers off Duty," shows the lighter pastimes indulged in when not occupied with the arduous duty of public performance. The book is printed on finely finished, heavy paper from large, clear type, is substantially bound in strong board covers, and bears a lifelike picture of Nordica as BrUnnhilde on its title cover.

Christian Sinding (Born at Kongsberg, Norway, January 11, 1856; now living at Christiania.) This orchestral suite in F major is. dedicated to Felix Weingartner. It is scored for two piccolos, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, one double-bassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trom- bones, one bass tuba, a set of three kettledrums, bass drum, cymbals, harp, strings. The work, without title, was published as a suite for four hands, Op. 35, in 1898. This suite was performed by the Chicago Orchestra, Theodore Thomas conductor, at Chicago on January 20, 1900. (The first performance in London was on November 11. 1899.) It was performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra at Philadelphia on March 7, 1903. The composer has given no motto, no explanatory note. The title, " Knightly Episodes or Adventures," must suffice. I. Tempo di marcia, F major, 2-4. The movement opens with the simultaneous statement of two themes. Flutes have descending and ascending arpeggios, while the 'cellos and double-basses have a melodic figure, which later assumes much importance. This material is worked for a comparatively short time. The bass theme is developed in To Artists and Teachers of Singing The task of getting the latest English Songs can no longer be a difficult one, since we publish here all the new compositions of leading composers exactly on the same date they appear on the European market.

There, is a climax for full orchestra, and the thematic material is again developed with fuller instrumenta- tion. The trio of the March is in A-flat major. The trumpet has a solo, dolce, over a syncopated accompaniment of horns and strings. This theme is taken up by other instruments and developed with other material. There is a return to the original tonality, and the opening themes are developed polyphonically. Toward the end the bass mo- tive is introduced in augmentation. II. Andante funebre, B-flat minor, 4-4. The opening measures determine the mood. The chief theme is sung first by the clarinet; then strings take up the song, and later the brass gives out the theme with embellishment by strings and wood-wind instruments. Trio in D-flat major. Two horns sing in canon, while the bassoon has a counter-theme, and there is figuration for the strings. Two solo violins have an opposing theme. The horn motive soon reappears with the violin counter-motive given to the wood-wind. The opening theme returns and is developed, and use is made of the introductory measures of the movement for a coda.

Finale, Allegro moderato, F major, 3-4. There is no intro- duction. The chief theme is announced by clarinets, bassoons, and horns over a staccato accompaniment of strings, double-bassoon, ket- tledrums. The movement opens piano. A crescendo leads to a new motive for strings and wood-wind, which is somewhat developed- The chief theme returns with fresh counter material. A new and more melodic theme is sung by the horns, later by clarinet with harp arpeggios and tremolo work for strings. After many harmonic turns it appears (trumpets) in A major and brings in the first theme, but returns later in B-flat major. After the fermata (C major) the clari- net remembers the first theme of the first movement over a new chro- matically descending basso ostinato. The chief theme of the Finale asserts itself, and, in company with the basso continuo figure in dimi- nution, brings the end. Mr. Philip H. Goepp says in the course of his remarks concerning this suite: "The last episode [the Finale] has a new maze and mass of interweaving tunes. Indeed, throughout the work we must be alert to a certain modern kind of polythematic art that is not the same as the older polyphony.

Denne skulle være en oppfølger av konferansen Språk og nasjonalisme i Norden, i regi av Nordplusnettverket Nordiska erfarenheter arrangert i Helsingfors i august samme år. Ideen var å samles om et hittil lite belyst fellesnordisk prosjekt, som både hadde en historisk og en kulturanalytisk dimmensjon. Ut fra disse kriteriene falt valget på musikk i Norden sett i et historisk og nasjonalt perspektiv, men med den viktige tilføyelse at det ikke skulle fokuseres snevert på den finkulturelle, klassiske musikken. Populærmusikken og folke- og spillemannsmusikken skulle også være representert, primært ut fra en betraktning om at også hverdagslivets "banale" nasjonalisme, som den kommer til uttrykk utenfor kunstmusikken, måtte tas med. Professor Nils Ivar Agøy foreslo at konferansen skulle arrangeres ved Høgskolen i Telemark (HiT), og slik ble det.

  • Jan Dewilde Paper 2009
    Frank Van der Stucken (1858-1929): a friend of Grieg and translator of his songs Lecture for International Edvard Grieg Conference, Berlin, 13-16 May 2009 This paper fits in with a research project that is presently being implemented in the library of the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp about the composer-conductor Frank Van der Stucken. The library preserves a large collection of scores and documents of Van der Stucken, which form the basis of this research. The contacts between Edvard Grieg and the Flemish composer-pianist Arthur De Greef (1862-1940), who met in 1888, are well documented, but the piano virtuoso De Greef wasn’t Grieg’s first Flemish contact. One decade before, Grieg had already got to know an American composer with Flemish roots, namely Frank Van der Stucken. Frank Van der Stucken was born in 1858 in Fredericksburg, Texas, as the son of a Flemish father and a German mother.1 When the Secession War (1861-1865) had finished, the family no longer felt safe in Texas and in 1865 they returned to father Van der Stucken’s native town of Antwerp (Belgium). There Van der Stucken junior studied at the Flemish School of Music – the later Royal Flemish Conservatoire. He was a student of the director Peter Benoit (1834-1901), the standard bearer of nationalist music in Flanders. After his studies with Benoit, Van der Stucken went to Leipzig in 1878, like so many of his contemporaries, with a view to continuing his formation with Carl Reinecke. That’s where he first met Grieg, who became his friend.

Leon Souroujon iii Abstract Leon Souroujon (1913–2007) was a well-known Bulgarian violinist and pedagogue, however, his importance as a composer is yet to be recognised. One of the objectives of this dissertation is to present Souroujon as a composer who has a unique style and whose contribution to the unaccompanied solo violin genre is noteworthy. Another objective is to introduce and categorize his collection of published and unpublished compositions and to create a new complete edition of all his compositions. Adopting a qualitative approach, extensive research has been conducted in order to comprehend the historical setting of Souroujon’s life and career.
