  • Un Exilé Lyrique Achille De Lauzières Alexander Weatherson
    Un exilé lyrique Achille de Lauzières Alexander Weatherson On the momentous day of 8 February 1457 the young Dieudonné de Lauzières set foot in the Quercynois village of Espédaillac for the first time in his life to receive his serment de fidélité. He had inherited his fief from his uncle Raymond de Cardaillac who had died without an heir. He stood – a little unsteadily - where cars are now parked and lavender bushes perch on the edge of the plateau in front of the church with his kinsman Guillaume de Thémines at his elbow for moral support. The donjon behind him and a row of expectant faces before him. Four centuries on, on the equally momentous day of 19 January 1839 the young Achille de Lauzières, his direct descendant sat - a little unsteadily – for the first time in his life in an official capacity among the rowdy spectators in the teeming Teatro Nuovo of Naples with a cohort of critics behind him and row upon row of expectant faces before him. It was his baptism as a librettist, in this instance for the première of an operatic romp by the current favorite, Vincenzo Fioravanti, for which he had supplied the text. This maestro had made a tremendous reputation with his Il ritorno di Pulcinella da Padova on that same stage two years earlier i - a perfectly hysterical offering that would prove irresistible in Naples for years and years with its gags, transvestite spoofs and xenophobic fervour. Now, scarcely beyond adolescence, the trembling poet had been given the task of supplying a sequel: La larva ovvero Gli spaventi di Pulcinella, three-acts of disreputable comedy to enliven the carnival of 1839.

  • Musical Institutions and Czech Identity in Nineteenth
    Reclaiming a Golden Past: Musical Institutions and Czech Identity in Nineteenth-Century Prague By © 2019 Amelia Davidson PhD, Musicology, 2019 M.M., Missouri State University, 2008 B.M.E., Missouri State University, 2006 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Ketty Wong Roberta Freund Schwartz Paul Laird Alan Street Svetlana Vassileva-Karagyozova Date Defended: April 8, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Amelia Davidson certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Reclaiming a Golden Past: Musical Institutions and Czech Identity in Nineteenth-Century Prague Chair: Ketty Wong Date Approved: iii Abstract This dissertation explores the relationship between nineteenth-century musical activity in the Czech lands and Czech identity. The objectives of this study are to examine the history of significant musical institutions and organizations established during the nineteenth century, to analyze performance repertories for these entities, and to explore how the activities of these institutions are related to other components of Czech identity. I begin by investigating significant Czech identity markers that existed prior to the nineteenth century. These include a sense of cosmopolitanism established during the reigns of the Holy Roman Emperors Charles I and Rudolf II, a priority on religious reform and tolerance linked to the Hussite period, and a sense of cultural deprivation stemming from the conclusion of the Thirty Years’ War and the Counter- Reformation period. These foundational elements of Czech cultural identity provided the framework for the national revival of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, which was based in Enlightenment ideals, and for the nationalist movement of the mid-nineteenth century.
