A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and

  • Howard Glover's Life and Career

    Howard Glover's Life and Career

    Howard Glover’s Life and Career Russell Burdekin, July 2019, updated September 2021 (This note was originally part of the preparation for a paper given at the Music in Nineteenth Century Britain Conference, Canterbury Christ Church University, July 5, 2019. See http://englishromanticopera.org/operas/Ruy_Blas/Howard_Glover_Ruy_Blas- harbinger_of_English_Romantic_Opera_demise.pdf ) This note was revised in September 2021 thanks to an email from David Gurney pointing me to Augustus William Gurney’s Memoir of Archer Thompson Gurney, which provided background on Glover’s early life as well as a summary of his character. A few other details have also been amended or added. William Howard Glover was born on 6 June 1819 in London, the second son of Julia Glover one of the best known actresses of the first half of the 19th century. Who his father was is less certain. By the end of 1817, Julia was living apart from her husband, Samuel.1 However, she was on very close terms with the American actor, playwright and author John Howard Payne, who was then living in London.2 The inclusion of Howard as Glover’s middle name and John rather than Samuel being written on the baptism record3 would strongly suggest that Payne was the father, although no definitive evidence has been found. Glover studied the violin with William Wagstaff, leader of the Lyceum Opera orchestra, and joined that band at the age of fifteen. By the age of sixteen had a dramatic scena performed at a Society of British Musicians concert.4 He continued his studies for some years in Italy, Germany and France (Illustrated Times 2 Sep.

    122 a Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. Music Is As Old As The

    122 A Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. A CENTURY OF GRAND OPERA IN PHILADELPHIA. A Historical Summary read before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Monday Evening, January 12, 1920. BY JOHN CURTIS. Music is as old as the world itself; the Drama dates from before the Christian era. Combined in the form of Grand Opera as we know it today they delighted the Florentines in the sixteenth century, when Peri gave "Dafne" to the world, although the ancient Greeks listened to great choruses as incidents of their comedies and tragedies. Started by Peri, opera gradually found its way to France, Germany, and through Europe. It was the last form of entertainment to cross the At- lantic to the new world, and while some works of the great old-time composers were heard in New York, Charleston and New Orleans in the eighteenth century, Philadelphia did not experience the pleasure until 1818 was drawing to a close, and so this city rounded out its first century of Grand Opera a little more than a year ago. But it was a century full of interest and incident. In those hundred years Philadelphia heard 276 different Grand Operas. Thirty of these were first heard in America on a Philadelphia stage, and fourteen had their first presentation on any stage in this city. There were times when half a dozen travelling companies bid for our patronage each season; now we have one. One year Mr. Hinrichs gave us seven solid months of opera, with seven performances weekly; now we are permitted to attend sixteen performances a year, unless some wandering organization cares to take a chance with us.

    Howard Glover's Opera Ruy Blas: Harbinger of English Romantic

    Howard Glover’s Opera Ruy Blas: harbinger of English Romantic Opera’s demise? Russell Burdekin, Adapted from a paper given at the Music in Nineteenth Century Britain Conference, Canterbury Christ Church University, July 5, 2019. (September 27, 2019 - minor update and corrections) ( Two further supporting articles were written, one on the composer, Howard Glover, see http://englishromanticopera.org/composers/glover/Howard_Glover_Life_and_Career.pdf and the other on the various 19th century English adaptations of Victor Hugo’s play, Ruy Blas, see http://englishromanticopera.org/operas/Ruy_Blas/Victor_Hugo_Ruy_Blas_ and_its_19th_century_English_adaptations.pdf ) English language opera from the 19th century is not often heard today but that is not for lack of compositions. The century can be roughly divided into three. The first third was a fragmented effort mainly of adaptations and imitations with Carl Maria von Weber’s Oberon the only original work still occasionally performed. The next phase, which is the focus of this talk, is sometimes labelled English Romantic Opera. It began in 1834 with the reopening of the English Opera House and proceeded in fits and starts during the next 30 or so years producing over 70 largely original operas, of which Michael William Balfe’s The Bohemian Girl is probably the best known. The closure of the Pyne-Harrison company in 1864 essentially marked its end, although there were a few further operas over the following two years under a short lived successor organisation. There was then a gap of nearly 10 years until Frederick Cowen’s Pauline for the Carl Rosa Company in 1875. Cowen (241-242) put its failure partly down to its use of the dialogue and song model that was the typical format for English Romantic Opera.
