J.-P. Martens, prof. dr. M. Leman Proefschrift ingediend tot het behalen van de graad van Doctor in de Ingenieurswetenschappen Vakgroep Elektronica en Informatiesystemen Voorzitter: prof. dr. ir. R. Van de Walle Faculteit Ingenieurswetenschappen en Architectuur Academiejaar 2015 - 2016 ISBN 978-90-8578-883-6 NUR 962, 965 Wettelijk depot: D/2016/10.500/15 Abstract Chords and keys are two ways of describing music. They are exemplary of a general class of symbolic notations that musicians use to exchange in- formation about a music piece. This information can range from simple tempo indications such as “allegro” to precise instructions for a performer of the music. Concretely, both keys and chords are timed labels that de- scribe the harmony during certain time intervals, where harmony refers to the way music notes sound together. Chords describe the local harmony, whereas keys offer a more global overview and consequently cover a se- quence of multiple chords. Common to all music notations is that certain characteristics of the mu- sic are described while others are ignored. The adopted level of detail de- pends on the purpose of the intended information exchange. A simple de- scription such as “menuet”, for example, only serves to roughly describe the character of a music piece. Sheet music on the other hand contains precise information about the pitch, discretised information pertaining to timing and limited information about the timbre.

    An Incomplete Life: Lulu and the Performance of Unfinishedness Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/oq/article-abstract/35/1-2/20/5559520 by guest on 04 January 2020 January 04 on guest by https://academic.oup.com/oq/article-abstract/35/1-2/20/5559520 from Downloaded axel englund stockholm university What does unfinishedness mean to opera criticism in the wake of the performative turn? One familiar answer suggests that it means everything. Toward the end of the millennium, as live performance became a central focus of opera studies, the idea of a definitive version of an operatic text came to seem less and less appealing, as did the very notion of an operatic “work.”1 Instead, scholars valorized the elusive, mutable, or open-ended, and opera itself was imagined as an unfinished business, its ontology anchored in the moment of performance. But if the performative turn celebrated “unfinishedness,” it also rendered the concept oddly void of meaning. Strictly speaking, the finishedness of an opera can only be measured against one version or another of the work concept. Once the composer’s intention has lost its authority and the essence of an opera is situated less in its script than in its live in- stantiation, what does it mean to speak of an unfinished opera? If the locus of opera is the performance rather than the score, can Turandot be said to be any less com- plete than Tosca just because Alfano or Berio wrote the notes for the final scene? If the work is recast as a unique event that concludes every time the curtain falls, what space is left for the inconclusive? Although these questions have a bearing on opera criticism in general, they de- rive from my engagement with one particular opera, and in this article I will reroute them back into it: Alban Berg’s Lulu, which the composer struggled with from the late 1920s until his death in 1935.2 In November of that year, Berg suffered an unfor- tunate insect bite that would lead to his death by blood poisoning on Christmas Eve.

However, modern vocalists in the United States often overlook or misrepresent Indigenous features in performances of New Spanish repertoire. Vocalists typically must make choices about vocal techniques alone and, largely for lack of resources, in uninformed ways.

  • Les Opéras De Verdi : Élements D’Un Language Musico- Dramatique
    Les opéras de Verdi : Élements d’un language musico- dramatique. By Steven Huebner. Montréal: Les Presses de l’Université de Montréal, 2017. 363pp. ISBN 978-2-7606- 3302-5. Reviewed by: Claudio Vellutini, University of British Columbia The analysis of Giuseppe Verdi’s music has engaged musicologists for some forty years. During this time, considerable efforts were made to elucidate how Verdi, responding to changing aesthetic and cultural conditions, shaped poetic, musical, and dramatic structures to create powerful theatrical works. Despite there being a remarkable number of studies on this topic, Steven Huebner’s Les opéras de Verdi is the first single monograph to discuss these issues in a systematic fashion. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the debates concerning different analytical strategies from the past few decades, and offers insights on how these strategies can be implemented. Huebner also returns to in-depth close readings of Verdi’s music, elucidating cultural and contextual approaches to his operas and the critical discourses surrounding them. In this respect, this volume is complementary to Gilles De Van’s influential Verdi, un théâtre en musique. 1 Situating the development of Verdi’s operatic output (and, consequently, the technical and stylistic characteristics of his music) within the broader canvas of nineteenth-century European aesthetics of drama, De Van approaches Verdi’s theatre from the outside. Huebner, in contrast, proceeds from the inside out, focusing on the inner rules of the composer’s dramaturgical language. The book is the outgrowth of a series of four lectures, and maintains the original subdivision in four sections.

  • Kenneth E. Querns Langley Doctor of Philosophy
    Reconstructing the Tenor ‘Pharyngeal Voice’: a Historical and Practical Investigation Kenneth E. Querns Langley Submitted in partial fulfilment of Doctor of Philosophy in Music 31 October 2019 Page | ii Abstract One of the defining moments of operatic history occurred in April 1837 when upon returning to Paris from study in Italy, Gilbert Duprez (1806–1896) performed the first ‘do di petto’, or high c′′ ‘from the chest’, in Rossini’s Guillaume Tell. However, according to the great pedagogue Manuel Garcia (jr.) (1805–1906) tenors like Giovanni Battista Rubini (1794–1854) and Garcia’s own father, tenor Manuel Garcia (sr.) (1775–1832), had been singing the ‘do di petto’ for some time. A great deal of research has already been done to quantify this great ‘moment’, but I wanted to see if it is possible to define the vocal qualities of the tenor voices other than Duprez’, and to see if perhaps there is a general misunderstanding of their vocal qualities. That investigation led me to the ‘pharyngeal voice’ concept, what the Italians call falsettone. I then wondered if I could not only discover the techniques which allowed them to have such wide ranges, fioritura, pianissimi, superb legato, and what seemed like a ‘do di petto’, but also to reconstruct what amounts to a ‘lost technique’. To accomplish this, I bring my lifelong training as a bel canto tenor and eighteen years of experience as a classical singing teacher to bear in a partially autoethnographic study in which I analyse the most important vocal treatises from Pier Francesco Tosi’s (c.

Upon his retirement in 1833, the tenor Nicola Tacchinardi chastised musico performers – women who sang male roles – for their unconvincing portrayal of operatic heroes. Rather than complain about their high-lying voices, he chose to criticise these women’s feminine appearance and idiosyncratic stage behaviours as unmasculine. Tacchinardi’s criteria for gender performance, then, sidestepped embodied vocality and centred on performer appearance and behaviour in specific narrative situations. My study explores how Tacchinardi and his contemporaries employed aria substitution in heroic roles as a means for plot substitution, forgoing arias of dramatic stasis for dynamic scenes that showcase decisive action and augmented narrative significance. In this pre-Duprez milieu, before the onset of predetermined physiology in operatic discourse, male singers across the 1820s achieved an explicitly masculine self- definition not through voice, but as masters of textual control. Aria substitutions in the operas La Sacerdotessa d’Irminsul, La donna del lago and Norma demonstrate how singers established the compo- nents of masculine-heroic conventions through sensitive consideration of dramaturgy.

ALLSOP, D.PHIL., AND JOYCE LINDORFF, D.M.A. Corelli's legacy in China Following the publication in Rome in 1700 of Arcangelo Corelli's op. 5 Sonate a violino e violone o cimbalo, which quickly became the most commercially successful collection of instrumental music of all time, Europe was gripped by a wave of Corelli mania.' The fame of these violin sonatas extended far across the seas to the Americas, but few suspected such a transmission to the Far East. Nevertheless, not only do editions of his works from the early eighteenth century still exist in Beijing, but Teodorico Pedrini's set of twelve sonatas for violin and bass under the pseudonym of "Nepridi" bears witness to the fact that the vogue for Corelli imitation had even reached the imperial court of China.' No gentleman musician could have suffered the ignominy of being without the immortal works of the master, and no sooner had Pedrini arrived in Peking than he petitioned his superiors in Propaganda Fide to send, as essential pieces of equipment, 'le opere di Arcangelo Corelli di buona stampa con alcune di Bononcino' (4 March 1711).
