Prudhomme says it was composed probably in January of that year. Berlioz wrote to Maurice Schlesinger, the publisher, on January 7, 1838: "It is absolutely necessary that I should rest and find a shelter from albums. For a fortnight I have searched vainly for three hours to dream at leisure over the overture of my opera. The inability to obtain them is a torture of which you have no idea, one that is abso- lutely insupportable. I warn you then that if I were forced to live on bread and water up to the moment when my score would be com- pleted, I do not wish to hear anything more about a criticism of any sort. Meyerbeer, Liszt, Chopin, and Kalkbrenner are not in need of my praise." The story has been condemned as weak and foolish. It is also wholly fictitious. It is enough to say that in 1532 Cellini is in Rome, called thither by the Pope. He falls in love with Teresa, the daughter of Balducci, an old man, who favors another suitor, Fieramosca, the Pope's sculptor. Cellini attempts to elope with her, and neglects work on his Perseus, which he at last finishes in an hour's time, fired by the promise of Cardinal Salviati to reward him with the hand of Teresa. — animating the glittering evening mode t~^ AYETY, the proper social note for evening, comes ^J to life in the brilliantized metals so smart this season. In evening gowns we see metals in Grecian flowered or modernistic embroideries; in gold or gossamer mesh; lustrous satins with shimmering silver lace; black transparent velvets "paganized" by nailheads in gold. Even color takes a new viv- acity when interspersed with metals. And climaxing the entire evening mode, is the wrap of metal fabric. Recent Paris importations in crystal necklaces, bracelets, pendants accent the glittering mode. Opposite Boston Common Cellini and his pupils and friends are disgusted early in the opera at a paltry sum of money given to Cellini by the Pope through Ascanio, but only after he had promised solemnly to complete the statue of Perseus.

Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2009 Document Committee: Prof. Loretta Robinson, Advisor Dr. Hilary Apfelstadt Dr. David Horn Dr. C. Patrick Woliver Copyright by Cyril Andrew Blosser 2009 ABSTRACT Seven Poems of James Joyce is a song cycle by British composer Ernest John Moeran. Moeran beautifully sets to music text by the great Irish poet, James Joyce, about a journey of love reflected through the seasons. Each piece depicts oneʼs experiences with love and nature through the various seasons of life. This document provides a brief biography of the composer and poet, and presents important characteristics in each movement of the cycle. It also serves as an introduction to the work of E. J. Moeran. ii Dedicated to my wife, Amy iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my thanks to the organizations that support the work of composers. Their dedication to music helps to ensure that the lives of many fascinating men and women will not go unnoticed. I wish to thank my advisor, Professor Loretta Robinson, for her teaching and support of me and my endeavors throughout my doctoral work. Thank you to Dr. Hilary Apfelstadt, Dr. David Horn, and Dr. C. Patrick Woliver, for giving of their time and expertise throughout this process. Their willingness to serve on my committee is greatly appreciated.
