Die present study of his use of tli? passac^.gl ta font is based on thirteen selected -assacaalias which span hin ire rryi:ivc career and include all genre* of his music. The passacaglia? *r- occur i*' the follovxnc works: - Piano Concerto, Op. 13, III - Violin Concerto, Op. 15, III - "Dirge" from Serenade, op. 31 - Peter Grimes, Op. 33, Interlude IV - "Death, be not proud!1' from The Holy Sonnets o f John Donne, Op. 35 - The Rape o f Lucretia, op. 37, n , ii - Albert Herring, Op. 39, III, Threnody - Billy Budd, op. 50, I, iii - The Turn o f the Screw, op . 54, II, viii - Noye '8 Fludde, O p . 59, Storm - "Agnu Dei" from War Requiem, Op. 66 - Syrrvhony forCello and Orchestra, Op. 68, IV - String Quartet no. 3, Op. 94, V The analysis includes a detailed investigation into the type of ostinato themes used, namely their structure (lengUi, contour, characteristic intervals, tonal centre, metre, rhythm, use of sequence, derivation hod of handling the ostinato (variations in length, tone colouJ -< <>e register, ten$>o, degree of audibility) as well as the influence of the ostinato theme on the conqposition as a whole (effect on length, sectionalization). The accompaniment material is then brought under scrutiny b^th from the point of view of its type (thematic, motivic, unrelated counterpoints) and its importance within the overall frarework of the passacaglia.

A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music at The University of Waikato By Phillippa Ulenberg _____________ The University of Waikato 2009 Abstract The Community Arts Service (CAS, 1946-1966), founded after World War Two, took tours of music, drama, opera, dance and art exhibitions to smaller centres and isolated rural areas throughout New Zealand, fostering the cultural activities undertaken by local groups. From the Auckland University College, where it originated as a branch of Adult Education, it spread to the other University College provinces and, beyond New Zealand, to Australia. As Adult Education, CAS programmes emphasised educational value and aimed to develop the tastes and level of culture in the participating communities. The Service operated through local CAS committees, encouraging rural centres to take increasing responsibility for the cultural life of their own communities.

    1.4.4 .8 Transposition of theme to other tonal centres Occasionally the bass theme was transposed to other tonal centres. In the Vitali Chaconne, for instance, the bass theme passes through the following keys: g, bb , f, g, a, g, E*5, e*3, g . 48 In the Passacaglia in D minor by Buxtehude, the bass theme is also transposed to different tonal levels, namely from d to F and a, and then back to d. Thu particular tonal centres used outline the tonic triad of D minor, and give tonal cohesion and symmetry to the work. 1.4.4.9 Modifications to the bass th ne Slight modifications to the bass theme are frequent and range from figuration of the theme, to slight rhythmic alterations and sometimes minor changes of contour. 2. NINETEENTH CENTURY Around 1800, the ostinato type of variation fell into disuse. Nelson is of the opinion that a period of variation decadence zset in, and many of the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century keyboard variations were rather frivolous and inconsequential works, but he goes on to say: Against such minor evidences of trivial!cy and display must be balanced the growing incorporation of variation movements into cyclical forms, the nature of which, on the whole, was distinctly more weighty and serious. Whereas previously the use of variation movements in larger works had been confined to an occasional place in such pieces as dance suites and trio sonatas, in the Viennese classic period they were introduced into the manifold forms of the sonata, symphony, divertimento, quartet, and concerto.

  • L DTNT Records Relating to the Hull New Theatre 1939- 2008
    Hull History Centre: Records relating to the Hull New Theatre L DTNT Records relating to the Hull New Theatre 1939- 2008 Historical Background: The New Theatre which stands on Kingston Square, Hull, opened on the 16th of October 1939 with the Hull Repertory Company production of 'Me and My Girl'. Peppino Santangelo came to the city in 1924 to join the Hull Repertory Company based at the Little Theatre in Kingston Square. After turning the struggling company around, Peppino, organised the reconstruction of the former Assembly Rooms which had first been built by R. H. Sharp over 100 years earlier in 1834 into the New Theatre. Not even the outbreak of the Second World War could halt Peppino’s dream and as the theatre’s first manager, he told crowds of 1939: ‘I have made plans for your future entertainment, always bearing in mind that we are at war and that laughter and not tears should be the dominant feature.’ Performances continued throughout the war when West End productions arrived to escape the bombing in London. The theatre bar was reinforced as a bomb shelter and the building received only one direct hit, in May 1941, which destroyed the front row of stalls and all the props and costumes of the visiting Sadler’s Wells Opera Company. In the late 1960s the Theatre's stage was deepened and the orchestra pit enlarged, whilst at the same time the auditorium was improved with new seating. The theatre closed in January 2016 to undergo a huge £15.9m revamp of the venue, which would see improvements to backstage areas including a new fly tower, used for scenery, lighting and stage effects, a larger stage, and more seating.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>3 GREAT BRITAIN: ffss, 1954-81 Work for American record companies (notably Mercury and Everest) helped the LSO to raise its standards and convince Decca, by around 1962, that the finest symphony orchestra available (with the arguable exception of the VPO) could be regularly heard at the Royal Festival Hall, a few minutes walk away from 9, Albert Embankment, where the company had opened Decca House as its new headquarters in 1958. Then in 1964 the New Philharmonia, disowned by Walter Legge, began to record for Decca, as did the Academy of St.Martin in the Fields, having moved from L’Oiseau-Lyre to Argo. With the English Chamber Orchestra and RPO also available, London had a short spell of orchestral pre- eminence before Decca started shifting sessions to North America. It had also added Joan Sutherland’s sessions to its traditional operatic repertoire of Sullivan and Britten and maintained its importance in chamber music and instrumental recordings, particularly with Ashkenazy from 1963 and the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble on Argo from 1968. In the early 1970s the advent of Anthony Rooley, the Consort of Musicke, Emma Kirkby, Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music brought a fresh look at repertoire from Dowland to Purcell, Handel, Mozart and eventually Beethoven. Solti recorded with the LPO from 1972 and the National Philharmonic was booked regularly from 1974-84. Also during the 1970s the London Sinfonietta’s surveys of Schönberg and Janá ček were recorded. Ashkenazy’s second career as a conductor centred initially on London, with the Philharmonia from 1977 and the RPO from 1987.

  • The Burning Fiery Furnace and the Redemption of Religious Kitsch
    5 The Burning Fiery Furnace and the Redemption of Religious Kitsch There was a dramatic silence only broken by the clank of the censer chains as incense was put on and a column of blue smoke began to rise. Then a rather cracked voice intoned, “Let us proceed in peace,” but peace was not to be the order of the day, for the tympani began to roll and then with a crash of full organ and orchestra the procession set off singing “Hail thee festival day” in a tumult of sound. I was spellbound by all this and delighted when they came past me so that I could get a proper look at them.1 —Colin Stephenson, Merrily on High, 1972 Near the opening of his novelistic memoirs—a chronicle of a long career as an Anglo-Catholic priest—Colin Stephenson looks back at one of the defin- ing moments of his religious life: his first experience of High Mass at St. Bar- tholomew’s, Brighton. Here the stage was set for a lifelong religious aestheticism, an epicurean obsession with monumental processions, intoxicating incense, and kitschy icons. For High Mass at St. Bart’s was apparently less a solemn service than an awe-inspiring spectacle. If detractors disparaged the occasion as a “den of iniquity”—or, worse still, the “Sunday opera”—even visiting clergy viewed their own contributions as interludes between the Gesamtkunstwerk’s main acts. “I preached there not long ago,” Fr. Davies reported: “ ‘It’s not a sermon you have but an interval while the wind performers empty their instruments.’ ”2 Writing in the wake of Vatican II and related protestant reforms of the liturgy, this aestheticism had come to seem increasingly untenable: “looking back on it now,” Stephenson reflected, “one realizes that it had about as much chance of appealing to the average Anglican as the Folies Bergères to the Mothers’ Union.”3 Yet, for all aestheticism’s baggage, it is depicted with deep affection, with an ambivalent sense of mourning for this powerful but increasingly obsolete form of worship.
