It is the father with his child. He holds the boy in the crook of his arm He holds him safe, he keeps him warm. "My son, why do you hide your face so anxiously?" "Father, do you not see the Erlking? The Erlking with crown and cloak?" "My son, it's a wisp of fog." "You lovely child, come, go with me! Many a beautiful game I'll play with you; Some colorful flowers are on the shore, My mother has some golden robes." "My father, my father, can't you hear, What the Erlking quietly promised me?" "Be calm, stay calm, my child; The wind rustles through dry leaves." "Do you want to come with me, fine lad? My daughters should be waiting for you; My daughters lead the nightly dances And will rock and dance and sing you to sleep." "My father, my father, can't you see there, The Erlking's daughters in the gloomy place?" "My son, my son, I see it well: The old willows seem so gray." "I love you, your beautiful form entices me; And if you're not willing, I shall use force." "My father, my father, he's grabbing me now! The Erlking has wounded me!" The father shudders; he rides swiftly, He holds in his arms the moaning child. Barely he arrives at the yard in urgency; In his arms, the child was dead.

  • By Konstantinou, Evangelos Precipitated Primarily by the Study
    by Konstantinou, Evangelos Precipitated primarily by the study of ancient Greece, a growing enthusiasm for Greece emerged in Europe from the 18th century. This enthusiasm manifested itself in literature and art in the movements referred to as classicism and neoclassicism. The founda- tions of contemporary culture were identified in the culture of Greek antiquity and there was an attempt to learn more about and even revive the latter. These efforts manifested themselves in the themes, motifs and forms employed in literature and art. How- ever, European philhellenism also had an effect in the political sphere. Numerous societies were founded to support the cause of Greek independence during the Greek War of Independence, and volunteers went to Greece to join the fight against the Ottoman Empire. Conversely, the emergence of the Enlightenment in Greece was due at least in part to the Greek students who studied at European universities and brought Enlightenment ideas with them back to Greece. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Literary and Popular Philhellenism in Europe 2. European Travellers to Greece and Their Travel Accounts 3. The Greek Enlightenment 4. Reasons for Supporting Greece 5. Philhellenic Germany 6. Lord Byron 7. European Philhellenism 8. Societies for the Support of the Greeks 9. Bavarian "State Philhellenism" 10. Jakob Philip Fallmerayer and Anti-Philhellenism 11. Appendix 1. Sources 2. Bibliography 3. Notes Indices Citation The neo-humanism of the 18th and 19th centuries contributed considerably to the emergence of a philhellenic1 climate in Europe. This new movement was founded by Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717–1768) (ᇄ Media Link #ab), who identified aesthetic ideals and ethical norms in Greek art, and whose work Geschichte der Kunst des Altertums (1764) (ᇄ Media Link #ac) (History of the Art of Antiquity) made ancient Greece the point of departure for an aestheticizing art history and cultural history.

  • The Missing Saxophone Recovered(Updated)
    THE MISSING SAXOPHONE: Why the Saxophone Is Not a Permanent Member of the Orchestra by Mathew C. Ferraro Submitted to The Dana School of Music in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Music in History and Literature YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY May 2012 The Missing Saxophone Mathew C. Ferraro I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: ____________________________________________________________ Mathew C.

Gage, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Randall Goldberg, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ James C. Umble, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Peter J. Kasvinsky, Dean of School of Graduate Studies Date Abstract From the time Adolphe Sax took out his first patent in 1846, the saxophone has found its way into nearly every style of music with one notable exception: the orchestra. Composers of serious orchestral music have not only disregarded the saxophone but have actually developed an aversion to the instrument, despite the fact that it was created at a time when the orchestra was expanding at its most rapid pace. This thesis is intended to identify historical reasons why the saxophone never became a permanent member of the orchestra or acquired a reputation as a serious classical instrument in the twentieth century. iii Dedicated to Isabella, Olivia & Sophia And to my father Michael C.

    Giacomo Meyerbeer. Robert le diable, 1831. The nuns’ ballet. Meyerbeer’s synesthetic cocktail debuts at the Paris Opera. Bibliothèque Nationale de France. 16 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/GREY_a_00030 by guest on 25 September 2021 The Prophet and the Pendulum: Sensational Science and Audiovisual Phantasmagoria around 1848 JOHN TRESCH Nothing is more wonderful, nothing more fantastic than actual life. —E.T.A. Hoffmann, “The Sand-Man” (1816) The Fantastic and the Positive During the French Second Republic—the volatile period between the 1848 Revolution and Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte’s 1851 coup d’état—two striking per - formances fired the imaginations of Parisian audiences. The first, in 1849, was a return: after more than a decade, the master of the Parisian grand opera, Giacomo Meyerbeer, launched Le prophète , whose complex instrumentation and astound - ing visuals—including the unprecedented use of electric lighting—surpassed even his own previous innovations in sound and vision. The second, in 1851, was a debut: the installation of Foucault’s pendulum in the Panthéon. The installation marked the first public exposure of one of the most celebrated demonstrations in the history of science. A heavy copper ball suspended from the former cathedral’s copula, once set in motion, swung in a plane that slowly traced a circle on the marble floor, demonstrating the rotation of the earth. In terms of their aim and meaning, these performances might seem polar opposites. Opera aficionados have seen Le prophète as the nadir of midcentury bad taste, demanding correction by an idealist conception of music. Grand opera in its entirety has been seen as mass-produced phantasmagoria, mechani - cally produced illusion presaging the commercial deceptions of the society of the spectacle.
