Editor’s Note Impish apple connoisseur, future farmer, [your name here] Scholar Flipping Out t was a cold, raw, rainy Saturday in June when the new Green Line of the light rail transit system made its debut. The line runs between St. IPaul and Minneapolis right through campus on Washington Avenue. Eager to get on board after having watched the line take shape out- side the McNamara Alumni Center, I decided to check it out. A party atmosphere prevailed inside the cars (“Hey, it still has that new train smell,” someone cracked). As we pulled into the University of Minne- sota’s West Bank stop, the doors opened to dozens of U students standing on the platform handing out free foam gopher ears. A stampede ensued—kids and adults alike bolted from their seats to collect the treasure before the doors closed. By the time we crossed the Wash- ington Avenue Bridge and came to a halt at the East Bank station, nearly everyone was sporting gopher ears. I love how much people love the U. That’s what this special Homecoming issue is about. One story in particular exemplifies it: “It’s a Family Thing,” begin- There’s no room for clowning ning on page 32, features four families around when it comes to our who have multiple generations of Univer- food supply.

They connect to genetics so we can feed our the heartbeat of the U. And they, in turn, help the heart keep on beating. growing population.

    A Hero's Work of Peace: Richard Strauss's FRIEDENSTAG

    A HERO’S WORK OF PEACE: RICHARD STRAUSS’S FRIEDENSTAG BY RYAN MICHAEL PRENDERGAST THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in Music with a concentration in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Associate Professor Katherine R. Syer ABSTRACT Richard Strauss’s one-act opera Friedenstag (Day of Peace) has received staunch criticism regarding its overt militaristic content and compositional merits. The opera is one of several works that Strauss composed between 1933 and 1945, when the National Socialists were in power in Germany. Owing to Strauss’s formal involvement with the Third Reich, his artistic and political activities during this period have invited much scrutiny. The context of the opera’s premiere in 1938, just as Germany’s aggressive stance in Europe intensified, has encouraged a range of assessments regarding its preoccupation with war and peace. The opera’s defenders read its dramatic and musical components via lenses of pacifism and resistance to Nazi ideology. Others simply dismiss the opera as platitudinous. Eschewing a strict political stance as an interpretive guide, this thesis instead explores the means by which Strauss pursued more ambiguous and multidimensional levels of meaning in the opera. Specifically, I highlight the ways he infused the dramaturgical and musical landscapes of Friedenstag with burlesque elements. These malleable instances of irony open the opera up to a variety of fresh and fascinating interpretations, illustrating how Friedenstag remains a lynchpin for judiciously appraising Strauss’s artistic and political legacy.

However, the main motive was a possibility of financial reward. BRITAIN The rise in the nineteenth century of the celebrity composer, who was often also a conductor, is also traced.

    THE ROLE OF THE THIRD HORN IN THE ORCHESTRA'S HORN SECTION ANGELIKI POULIMENOU Degree Project, Master of Fine Arts in Music, Symphonic Orchestra Performance Autumn Semester 2015 1 Degree Project, 30 higher education credits Master of Fine Arts in Music, Symphonic Orchestra Performance Academy of Music and Drama, University of Gothenburg Autumn Semester 2015 Author: Angeliki Poulimenou Title: The role of the third horn in the orchestra's horn section Supervisor: Joel Speerstra Examiner: Anders Hultqvist Abstract: This thesis reflects research about the horn section and mainly the role of the third horn in the orchestra's horn section, and is also a documentation of my personal experience. For several years I was the third horn player at the National Radio Symphony Orchestra of Greece (ERT) and I try to explore this position as much as I can, and aim to help not only young horn players who are auditioning for this chair, but also young composers and conductors to reach a closer understanding of the function of the horn section. For my research, I studied historical and musicological elements, I read orchestration books, I held interviews with great horn players, I studied scores, I wrote down my own personal experiences and reflections and I played in all four horn positions in the orchestra, observing at the same time the different roles of each chair. Key words: French Horn, Third Horn, Role of the Third Horn, Orchestra, Horn Section, The Unsung Hero, Orchestration, High Horn. 2 INTRODUCTION - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is part of my Master’s degree in Symphonic Orchestra Performance (horn) at the University of Gothenburg, where I am studying as a scholar of the Onassis Foundation.
