As the curtain begins to close on our 2018 – 2019 season, I BEHIND THE SCENES am reminded about the power of dance.

Up till now, the complexity of the characters and the wise webbing of the drama, scattered of symbolic moments, widening its study, are the cause of divergent interpretations by the scholars. An example, exemplifying for all the discussions, could be the famous problem of Ibsen’s “feminism”. In the chapter “The poetry of feminism” in her book Ibsen’s women the American scholar Joan Templeton (2001) tries to say a definitive word about the sense to attribute to the drama. She quotes an impressive series of evidences with great accuracy, coming not only from works, but also from specific events and stands of which Ibsen was protagonist, to be opposed to only one point in favour of the detractors of the feminist vision about A Doll’s House .
  • Music for Dancing

    Music for Dancing

    Chapter Music for Dancing 4 FOCUS Western Dance Music World Dance Music POINTS Estampie Balinese Gamelan Dance Suite Tibetan Buddhist Skeleton Dance Waltz Italian Saltarello Ballet African Ritual Dances Square Dance Celtic Reel Dance, the art form that finds its expression through bodily movement, has been an inspiration for music from ancient times to the present. Whether music was the cata- lyst for dance or whether dance existed before music is a question that may never be answered definitively, but since such a large portion of the music in existence is dance music it deserves our attention and a thoughtful examination. The written record of dance is not as old as the written record of music. The earli- est descriptive texts on dance date from the fifteenth century. Understandable manu- scripts of music date from nearly a thousand years earlier. References to dance are as old as Old Testament Bible stories and the ancient Greeks wrote of dance, but what the movements that constituted those dances looked like is lost to us. Understanding what the dances looked like or how they were performed is not our purpose in studying them in a music class, rather, we will be examining dance music for its musical con- tent, such as its form and rhythmic characteristics, and its purpose in a social context. RHYTHM AND METER IN DANCE MUSIC Any discussion of dance must begin with rhythm since that musical element is the foundation of dance. As was mentioned in Chapter 1, rhythm is the aspect of music that animates it, makes it feel like it is alive and vibrant.

    To the South! A Study of Exoticism in Fanny Hensel‘s Lieder Xi Zhang Advisor: Claire Fontijn, Music April 2015 Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in Music 2015 © 2015 Xi Zhang 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS When I undertook this thesis, I was not yet aware how involved a process it would be and how many people would help me through this journey. First and foremost is my advisor, Claire Fontijn. I am eternally grateful to her fortitude through my constant stream of drafts. Her valuable guidance and feedback has always helped to steer me in the right direction whenever I faced challenges in my research or writing. Even after almost a year of weekly early morning meetings, I still look forward to hearing her thoughts and ideas. Not only has she helped me through my thesis, but she has helped me become a better writer and musician through research and analysis. Thank you to my voice instructor, Marion Dry. She has been endlessly patient though the three years that I‘ve worked with her. Her instruction and support have helped me appreciate music and singing to a new depth. During our lessons, I have developed a better understanding of Fanny Hensel both as a person and as a performer. I am a better musician thanks to Marion. I would like to thank the other members of my thesis committee: Gurminder Bhogal, Charles Fisk, Simon Grote, and Anjeana Hans. They have all been so generous with their time and happy to share their thoughts on my research and writing.
