    EDVARD GRIEG: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS EDVARD GRIEG: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS By REBEKAH JORDAN A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Rebekah Jordan, April, 2003 MASTER OF ARTS (2003) 1vIc1vlaster University (1vIllSic <=riticisIll) HaIllilton, Ontario Title: Edvard Grieg: Between Two Worlds Author: Rebekah Jordan, B. 1vIus (EastIllan School of 1vIllSic) Sllpervisor: Dr. Hllgh Hartwell NUIllber of pages: v, 129 11 ABSTRACT Although Edvard Grieg is recognized primarily as a nationalist composer among a plethora of other nationalist composers, he is much more than that. While the inspiration for much of his music rests in the hills and fjords, the folk tales and legends, and the pastoral settings of his native Norway and his melodic lines and unique harmonies bring to the mind of the listener pictures of that land, to restrict Grieg's music to the realm of nationalism requires one to ignore its international character. In tracing the various transitions in the development of Grieg's compositional style, one can discern the influences of his early training in Bergen, his four years at the Leipzig Conservatory, and his friendship with Norwegian nationalists - all intricately blended with his own harmonic inventiveness -- to produce music which is uniquely Griegian. Though his music and his performances were received with acclaim in the major concert venues of Europe, Grieg continued to pursue international recognition to repudiate the criticism that he was only a composer of Norwegian music. In conclusion, this thesis demonstrates that the international influence of this so-called Norwegian maestro had a profound influence on many other composers and was instrumental in the development of Impressionist harmonies.

  • River Rouge Transfiguration
    Mendelssohn’s Third Symphony is the perfect piece to hear in the springtime — this intensely exuberant music is so evocative of nature. The second movement always reminds me of the forest fairies running around in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. RACHEL NIKETOPOULOS, NCS FRENCH HORN River Rouge Transfiguration MISSY MAZZOLI BORN October 27, 1980, in Lansdale, PA PREMIERE Composed 2013; first performance May 31, 2013, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Leonard Slatkin conducting OVERVIEW Composer Missy (Melissa) Mazzoli is, in her words,”…a delinquent tap dancer turned insomniac composer, whose influence ranges from Beethoven to Balinese gamelan.” A graduate of Boston University, the Royal Conservatory in the Hague and the Yale School of Music, she is also an educator, arts advocate, and performer on keyboards. She directs the MATA Festival of New Music, founded by Philip Glass and devoted to young composers, and has taught composition at Yale University. In 2004, she was Composer-in-Residence at STEIM, Amsterdam’s center for electronic music, where she created electro-acoustic works for the Insomnio Ensemble. Mazzoli composed River Rouge Transfiguration in 2013 on commission from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The “River Rouge” of the title refers to the huge Ford Motors plant in Detroit, constructed between 1917 and 1928. She fell in love with the city of Detroit, devouring both photography of and literature about the city in its heyday as the center of America’s burgeoning industrial “Golden Age.” WHAT TO LISTEN FOR Inspired by the literary metaphor comparing the city’s factories to cathedrals and altars, Mazzoli transforms the “grit and noise of Ford’s iconic River Rouge plant, (here represented by the percussion, piano, harp, and pizzicato strings) into something massive, resonant, and unexpected.” INSTRUMENTATION Piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, two trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, piano, strings Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op.

  • Biography Edvard Grieg
    EDVARD GRIEG A SHORT BIOGRAPHY When Edvard Grieg grew up; Bergen was a small and busy European town. With strong links to the Hanseatic cities, Bergen had established a net of connections that made it the only continental Norwegian city. The main business was the trade with fish and other products typical for the coast. There was a close contact with the rest of Europe, a fact that is easily retraceable in the origin of the Bergener. Most of the families within the city limits had ancestors in Denmark, Germany, Scotland, England, the Netherlands and other European nations. Bergen was also a melting pot for the population along the Norwegian coast. Edvard Grieg's family was a typical Bergen-family: His great grandfather Alexander Greig (later changed to Grieg) came to the city from Cairnbulg close to Aberdeen in Scotland in the 1770s. He founded the family business, which was trade with dried fish and lobster across the North Sea. The raising of a child in a bourgeois family in the 19th century Norway often included teaching of music or other forms of art. Edvard Grieg's grandparents were active in the society of music «Musikkselskabet Harmonien», one of the worlds oldest orchestras, founded in 1765. Edvard Grieg was also so lucky to have the best piano teacher in Bergen as a mother. Gesine Hagerup had studied at the music conservatory in Hamburg, Germany, an education that usually was offered only to men. She played with «Harmonien» and at chamber music concerts in Bergen. CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH Edvard Grieg was born in Bergen 15th of June 1843, in the family's house in Strandgaten 152.

  • Grieg's Piano Concerto
    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM BY LAURIE SHULMAN, ©2019 Grieg’s Piano Concerto ONE-MINUTE NOTES Rebel: Chaos from Les Élémens This early French master had an uncanny gift for translating the theatrical into sound. His aptly named Chaos depicts the creation of the world in bold dissonances that convey the disorder that preceded creation. Grieg: Piano Concerto Though strongly influenced by Schumann’s piano concerto, Grieg’s ravishing piece is rich with Norwegian melodies and rhythms. The quintessential romantic concerto, it features rhapsodic Chopinesque figuration in the slow movement and a vigorous Norwegian dance in the finale. Brahms: Symphony No. 2 Often called Brahms’ “Pastoral,” this symphony exudes the dappled sunshine and glorious vistas of the Alpine summer. Unexpected motives like the opening cello gesture play an important role. The joyous and bubbly finale is also a virtuoso study in counterpoint. REBEL: “Chaos” from Les Élémens JEAN-FÉRY REBEL Baptized: April 18, 1666, in Paris, France Died: January 2, 1747, in Paris Composed: 1737 World Premiere: Undocumented, but probably in Paris, 1737. NJSO Premiere: These are the NJSO premiere performances. Duration: 7 minutes 2 The Rebels (pronounced Ruh-BELL) were one of Baroque France’s great musical dynasties. Beginning with Jean-Féry’s father, Jean (1636–92), members of the family served among the king’s musicians and in the royal opera for more than a century. This was France’s golden age. Music flourished under Louis XIV and Louis XV, who between them reigned from 1643 to 1774. Jean-Féry’s sister Anne-Renée was a singer in Jean- Baptiste Lully’s operas and married the composer Michel Richard de Lalande.

Notes. 70.1 (2013): 37-58. “A SUITABLE SOLOIST FOR MY PIANO CONCERTO”: TERESA CARREÑO AS A PROMOTER OF EDVARD GRIEG’S MUSIC BY ANNA E. KIJAS छ INTRODUCTION Teresa Carreño (1853–1917), Venezuelan pianist and composer, is often most remembered in reference works and literature as Edward MacDowell’s (1860–1908) early piano teacher, and more importantly as an early promoter of his piano music. Carreño’s early biographer, Marta Milinowski, placed great emphasis on her interaction with the MacDowell family, especially his mother Frances “Fanny” MacDowell, as well as Carreño’s performances of MacDowell’s compositions in the United States and abroad.1 Although her interaction and relationship with Edward and his mother is well established, the majority of corre- spondence between Carreño and the MacDowell family, as well as other prominent musicians or figures, remains under-analyzed and unpub- lished. This neglect can be attributed partly to the geographical disper- sion of the Carreño collection following its donation to Vassar College in 1931, the location of primary sources in inaccessible archival or private collections, as well as the general character of Carreño scholarship.2 Anna E.
