Handel's Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment By
Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Emeritus John H. Roberts Professor George Haggerty, UC Riverside Professor Kevis Goodman Fall 2013 Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Rhodes Lee ABSTRACT Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Throughout the 1740s and early 1750s, Handel produced a dozen dramatic oratorios. These works and the people involved in their creation were part of a widespread culture of sentiment. This term encompasses the philosophers who praised an innate “moral sense,” the novelists who aimed to train morality by reducing audiences to tears, and the playwrights who sought (as Colley Cibber put it) to promote “the Interest and Honour of Virtue.” The oratorio, with its English libretti, moralizing lessons, and music that exerted profound effects on the sensibility of the British public, was the ideal vehicle for writers of sentimental persuasions. My dissertation explores how the pervasive sentimentalism in England, reaching first maturity right when Handel committed himself to the oratorio, influenced his last masterpieces as much as it did other artistic products of the mid- eighteenth century. When searching for relationships between music and sentimentalism, historians have logically started with literary influences, from direct transferences, such as operatic settings of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, to indirect ones, such as the model that the Pamela character served for the Ninas, Cecchinas, and other garden girls of late eighteenth-century opera. -
Membra Jesu Nostri
Diskothek: Dietrich Buxtehude: Membra Jesu Nostri Montag, 26. März 2018 20.00 - 22.00 Uhr, SRF 2 Kultur Samstag, 31. März 2018 14.00 - 16.00 Uhr, SRF 2 Kultur (Zweitsendung) Gäste im Studio: Julia Schröder (Geigerin) und Jean-Christophe Groffe (Sänger). Gastgeberin: Jenny Berg Das Resultat Aufnahmen mit Werken aus der Barockzeit zeigen oft grosse Unterschiede, da die Barockmusik den Interpretinnen und Interpreten viele Freiheiten lässt. So ist es auch bei Dietrich Buxtehudes «Membra Jesu nostri»: Es gibt chorische und solistische Besetzungen, unterschiedlich gestimmte Instrumente, italienische und lateinische Textaussprache bei diesen fünf Aufnahmen – und es gibt noch etliche weitere Interpretationen auf dem CD-Markt. In Runde eins wird die Tempowahl zum Ausschlusskriterium: René Jacobs mit dem Concerto Vocale Gent (A3) geht die Beschreibung der Körperteile Jesu zu sportlich an, das Bach Collegium Japan mit Dirigent Masaaki Suzuki (A4) schwankt zu stark im Tempo – eine vergleichsweise gute, aber auch gewöhnliche Interpretation, fanden die beiden Gäste. In der zweiten Runde scheidet das Purcell Quartett (A5) aus – eine Aufnahme mit ausgezeichneten Sängern, dafür aber mit einer recht schlichten Gestaltung des Basso continuo. Am Schluss gibt es einen klaren Sieger: Obwohl Cantus Cölln mit Konrad Junghänel (A1) immer wieder für Gänsehaut sorgt, den Text bewusst ausgestaltet und sehr rhythmisch agiert, überzeugt über alle drei Runden die Aufnahme mit Ton Koopmann und dem Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir) am meisten (A2). Er hat das Werk mehrfach aufgenommen, dies hier ist die zweite Einspielung: Eine sehr lebendige Aufnahme, die ins Innere geht, die die Stimmungen bewusst einsetzt, um die harmonischen Bewegungen zu schärfen, und dabei elegant und historisch informiert verziert. -
HANDEL: Coronation Anthems Winner of the Gramophone Award for Cor16066 Best Baroque Vocal Album 2009
CORO CORO HANDEL: Coronation Anthems Winner of the Gramophone Award for cor16066 Best Baroque Vocal Album 2009 “Overall, this disc ranks as The Sixteen’s most exciting achievement in its impressive Handel discography.” HANDEL gramophone Choruses HANDEL: Dixit Dominus cor16076 STEFFANI: Stabat Mater The Sixteen adds to its stunning Handel collection with a new recording of Dixit Dominus set alongside a little-known treasure – Agostino Steffani’s Stabat Mater. THE HANDEL COLLECTION cor16080 Eight of The Sixteen’s celebrated Handel recordings in one stylish boxed set. The Sixteen To find out more about CORO and to buy CDs visit HARRY CHRISTOPHERS www.thesixteen.com cor16180 He is quite simply the master of chorus and on this compilation there is much rejoicing. Right from the outset, a chorus of Philistines revel in Awake the trumpet’s lofty sound to celebrate Dagon’s festival in Samson; the Israelites triumph in their victory over Goliath with great pageantry in How excellent Thy name from Saul and we can all feel the exuberance of I will sing unto the Lord from Israel in Egypt. There are, of course, two Handel oratorios where the choruses dominate – Messiah and Israel in Egypt – and we have given you a taster of pure majesty in the Amen chorus from Messiah as well as the Photograph: Marco Borggreve Marco Photograph: dramatic ferocity of He smote all the first-born of Egypt from Israel in Egypt. Handel is all about drama; even though he forsook opera for oratorio, his innate sense of the theatrical did not leave him. Just listen to the poignancy of the opening of Act 2 from Acis and Galatea where the chorus pronounce the gloomy prospect of the lovers and the impending appearance of the monster Polyphemus; and the torment which the Israelites create in O God, behold our sore distress when Jephtha commands them to “invoke the holy name of Israel’s God”– it’s surely one of his greatest fugal choruses. -
A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources. -

Not only is the full oratorio performed by countless ensembles every year, but many scholars have spent months, and even years, poring over its libretto. -
