Spanish Local Color in Bizet's Carmen.Pdf
!@14 QW Spanish Local Color in Bizet’s Carmen unexplored borrowings and transformations Ralph P. Locke Bizet’s greatest opera had a rough start in life. True, it was written and composed to meet many of the dramatic and musical expectations of opéra comique. It offered charming and colorful secondary characters that helped “place” the work in its cho- sen locale (such as the Spanish innkeeper Lillas Pastia and Carmen’s various Gypsy sidekicks, female and male), simple strophic forms in many musical numbers, and extensive spoken dialogue between the musical numbers.1 Despite all of this, the work I am grateful for many insightful suggestions from Philip Gossett and Roger Parker and from early readers of this paper—notably Steven Huebner, David Rosen, Lesley A. Wright, and Hervé Lacombe. I also benefi ted from the suggestions of three specialists in the music of Spain: Michael Christoforidis, Suzanne Rhodes Draayer (who kindly provided a photocopy of the sheet-music cover featuring Zélia Trebelli), and—for generously sharing his trove of Garciana, including photocopies of the autograph vocal and instrumental parts for “Cuerpo bueno” that survive in Madrid—James Radomski. The Bibliothèque nationale de France kindly provided microfi lms of their two manu- scripts of “Cuerpo bueno” (formerly in the library of the Paris Conservatoire). Certain points in the present paper were fi rst aired briefl y in one section of a wider-ranging essay, “Nineteenth-Century Music: Quantity, Quality, Qualities,” Nineteenth-Century Music Review 1 (2004): 3–41, at 30–37. In that essay I erroneously referred in passing to Bizet’s piano-vocal score as having been published by Heugel; the publisher was, of course, Choudens.

Opera Warhorses Interview
Rising Stars: An Interview with Raymond Aceto, Part I February 26th, 2010 [Note from William: Over the past several months, I have posted occasional interviews with opera singers and other artists, whose careers are obviously in their ascendancy, reflecting worldwide interest in securing their talents for future opera seasons. The current interview is with Raymond Aceto, the basso cantante graduate of the Metropolitan Opera Company's Lindemann Young Artists Development Program. I interviewed him last month in Houston singing Baron Scarpia in the new Houston Grand Opera production of Puccini's "Tosca" and again last week in San Diego, where he sang Zaccaria in Verdi's "Nabucco" for the San Diego Opera. The "Houston" half of the interview is published here. The remainder will be posted at a later date.] * * * * * Wm: How did you become interested in opera? RA: It’s a funny answer. I grew up in Brunswick Ohio, outside of Cleveland. I went to Brunswick High School, where I was in the band and choir and also sang in a rock band. I have a collection of guitars. I determined that I would pursue music in college. I was admitted to the Bowling Green State University (near Toledo) and took the music courses. There, I had a wonderful voice teacher, Andreas Poulimenos, who helped me discover that I have more voice than I thought I had. Bowling Green offers extensive training in both music and the performing arts. I switched into a performance major and fell in love with the idea of operatic performance. I was then accepted into the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artists Development Program.

Carmen: Under the Gypsy's Spell
Carmen: Under the gypsy's spell She's back, as feisty, sexy and indomitable as ever. As the curtain rises on a new Royal Opera staging, Jessica Duchen tells how Bizet's heroine sings to us all Published: 08 December 2006 The librettist's friend didn't mince his words. "Your Carmen is a flop, a disaster! It will never play more than 20 times. The music goes on and on. It never stops. There's not even time to applaud. That's not music! And your play - that's not a play! A man meets a woman. He finds her pretty. That's the first act. He loves her, she loves him. That's the second act. She doesn't love him any more. That's the third act. He kills her. That's the fourth! And you call that a play? It's a crime, do you hear me, a crime!" The year was 1875. Paris's Opéra-Comique had just staged the world premiere of Carmen by the 36-year-old composer Georges Bizet. The first act - man meets woman - was much applauded. The fourth - he kills her - was received in little more than silence. Three months later, its devastated young composer was dead. But 131 years after that, Carmen is one of the most popular operas in the repertoire, and tonight the Royal Opera House is unveiling a new production of it, its first since 1991, by the American director Francesca Zambello. Three exciting young stars will be in the spotlight: the Italian mezzo-soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci as the free-spirited Spanish Gypsy Carmen; the German tenor Jonas Kaufmann as Don José who loves and kills her, and the Italian bass-baritone Ildebrando d'Arcangelo as Escamillo, the toreador for whom Carmen deserts José.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 15, 2018 Opera Kelowna Announces Scintillating 2018 Season Featuring Bizet’s Carmen Classical music innovators heat up the summer with expanded main stage run and pop-up events throughout the Okanagan Kelowna, BC – Opera Kelowna presents its 2018 summer production of Georges Bizet’s Carmen, running August 16 to 19, 2018 at the Kelowna Community Theatre. A heart-wrenching story of fiery passions and desperate acts, the luscious work overflows with some of opera’s best-known arias, such as Habanera and the Toreador Song. The production’s illustrious cast and creative team were announced at a special event at Kelowna’s new Porsche Dealership on February 14, and features the anticipated return of conductor Bernard McDonald and the Opera Kelowna debut of award-winning theatre & opera director Amiel Gladstone. In addition to the main stage production, the company will share special concerts and events throughout the Okanagan. “As a young company bringing opera to the Okanagan, we strive to select programming that introduces audiences to the most iconic experiences the art form has to offer with a contemporary twist,” says Alexandra Babbel, Artistic Director of Opera Kelowna. “Having delighted our opera-goers with the magic of Mozart and set them swooning at La bohème, we decided this year to set their blood racing with the unbridled heat and dangerous passions of Bizet. We are thrilled to share our unique vision of this venerated work – and to welcome the stellar line-up of inspiring artists who will bring this production to life.” Set in Spain, though written and sung in French, Carmen follows the story of a flirtatious and hot-tempered Gypsy seductress, who steals the hearts of an army officer, Don José, and bullfighter, Escamillo.

A Stylistic Comparison Into the Carmen Fantasy for Double Bass: Proto, Sankey, and Daxun
A Stylistic Comparison into The Carmen Fantasy for Double Bass: Proto, Sankey, and DaXun A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in Double bass the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2016 By Hyungtag Lee M.M., University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music, 2006 B.A., Kyungwon University, 2000 Committee Chair: Albert Laszlo, MM Committee Member: Lee Fiser, B.Mus. Committee Member: Won-Bin Yim, DMA ABSTRACT This study compares the compositional styles of three different Carmen Fantasies by Stuart Sankey, Frank Proto, and DaXun Zhang. The majority of the “fantasy” genre for double bass was composed by Bottesini in the nineteenth century. In the mid-twentieth century, the reappearance of the “fantasy” genre, driven by Sankey, Proto, and Zhang, inspired many double bass players with its mixture of modern and Romantic elements. Many feel that these pieces capture the spirit of the double bass better than others before them. The analysis compares how the famous themes and melodies from the original opera were adapted in each of these pieces, revealing aspects of each composer’s compositional style through the details of his treatment of Bizet’s themes. The ultimate purpose of this study is to provide performers with the context and inspiration to comprehend and interpret these three virtuosic fantasies. ii Copyright © 2016 by Hyungtag Lee All rights reserved. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee chair Professor Albert Laszlo for his enduring support in planning my solo recital programs and lecture recital program.

ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WHEN the CELLO SPEAKS ALONE
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WHEN THE CELLO SPEAKS ALONE: CELLO CADENZAS IN CHAMBER MUSIC DUOS Frances Borowsky, Doctor of Musical Arts 2019 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Eric Kutz, School of Music This dissertation explores chamber duo works in which the cello has one or more significant solo passages. Works studied are sonatas for cello and piano by Luigi Boccherini (1771), Anton Rubinstein (1855), Edvard Grieg (1883), Alexander Tcherepnin (1924), and Marcus Paus (2009); show pieces by David Popper (Hungarian Rhapsody, 1894), Sulkhan Tsintsadze (Five Pieces on Folk Themes for Cello and Piano, 1950), Joachim Stutschewsky (Three Hebrew Melodies, 1934), and Buxton Orr (A Carmen Fantasy, 1985); and two duos with violin by Zoltán Kodály (1914) and Bohuslav Martinů (1927). Short biographical notes are provided on each composer and cadenzas are analyzed for their role and placement in each respective composition. Works have been organized according to the following categories: improvised cadenzas, cadenzas that prolong harmonic tension, virtuosic cadenzas based on folk and ethnic traditions, cadenzas providing an introduction or transition, and reflective cadenzas. In the conclusions, it is noted that post-Classical era composers place the cadenzas in a variety of locations, including at the opening of the work, before the recapitulation, and between themes of the recapitulation. Some composers use the cello alone for transitions or to introduce material at the beginning of the piece or movement. Few of the cadenzas include previously stated themes, and most cadenzas discussed in this paper wholly abandon the traditional function of delay. In all of these, the inclusion of a cello cadenza augments the emotional and textural dimension and variety.
