    From Femme Ideale to Femme Fatale: Contexts for the Exotic Archetype In

    From Femme Idéale to Femme Fatale: Contexts for the Exotic Archetype in Nineteenth-Century French Opera A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Jessica H. Grimmer BM, University of Cincinnati June 2011 Committee chair: Jonathan Kregor, PhD i ABSTRACT Chromatically meandering, even teasing, Carmen’s Seguidilla proves fatally seductive for Don José, luring him to an obsession that overrides his expected decorum. Equally alluring, Dalila contrives to strip Samson of his powers and the Israelites of their prized warrior. However, while exotic femmes fatales plotting ruination of gentrified patriarchal society populated the nineteenth-century French opera stages, they contrast sharply with an eighteenth-century model populated by merciful exotic male rulers overseeing wandering Western females and their estranged lovers. Disparities between these eighteenth and nineteenth-century archetypes, most notably in treatment and expectation of the exotic and the female, appear particularly striking given the chronological proximity within French operatic tradition. Indeed, current literature depicts these models as mutually exclusive. Yet when conceptualized as a single tradition, it is a socio-political—rather than aesthetic—revolution that provides the basis for this drastic shift from femme idéale to femme fatale. To achieve this end, this thesis contains detailed analyses of operatic librettos and music of operas representative of the eighteenth-century French exotic archetype: Arlequin Sultan Favorite (1721), Le Turc généreux, an entrée in Les Indes Galantes (1735), La Recontre imprévue/Die Pilgrime von Mekka (1764), and Die Entführung aus dem Serail (1782).

    CHANT in Many Cultures, Chant Is Used to Heighten the Delivery of Text in Religious Or Ritual Contexts. the Musical Delivery Is

    This material is under copyright and the source is E Giraud, ‘Chant’, The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Music and Culture, ed. Janet Sturman, (SAGE: 2019). CHANT In many cultures, chant is used to heighten the delivery of text in religious or ritual contexts. The musical delivery is often received as a more spiritual means of expression than the spoken word. In most cases, chant is exclusively a vocal repertoire (without instrumental accompaniment), and usually consists of a single (‘monophonic’) melody line. Although chant presents many of the attributes associated with secular musical performance—out of context, chant may sound like song—it is often not classed as ‘music’ itself: its purpose is not primarily to provide enjoyment to its listeners, but rather to add weight or ceremony to the (often sacred) words that chant accompanies, and/or to facilitate comprehension or recollection of the ritual. As such, chant is functional, reserved for use in certain ritual activities. The remainder of this entry examines a small selection of the world’s chant traditions, placing them in their historical and cultural contexts, in order to provide insight into some of the various forms and practices in which chant is used. Gregorian chant The most widespread form of plainchant in the Latin Christian West, both in the middle ages and today, is ‘Gregorian’ chant; other medieval repertories included Old Hispanic (see below), Gallican, Old Roman, Beneventan and Ambrosian chant. The name ‘Gregorian’ is misleading and stems from the once-held belief that the repertory was composed by Pope Gregory I (590-604). It is now widely accepted that ‘Gregorian’ chant cannot be traced back to Gregory I (sources contemporary to the pope provide no evidence for his involvement in composing chant or arranging the liturgy—‘liturgy’ being the regular, formal, communal acts of worship, rather than private devotion), but instead emerged in the eighth century in the Carolingian empire.

It is primarily associated with Hispania under Visigothic rule (mainly in what was to become modern Spain) and with the Catholic Visigoths/Mozarabs living under Muslim rule, and was soon replaced by the chant of the Roman rite following the Christian Reconquest. Although its original medieval form is largely lost, a few chants have survived with read- able musical notation, and the chanted rite was later re- vived in altered form and continues to be used in a few isolated locations in Spain, primarily in Toledo.

Ostoich, D.M.A. Abstract Léon Goossens (1897–1988) was an English oboist considered responsible for restoring the oboe as a solo instrument. During the Romantic era, the oboe was used mainly as an orchestral instrument, not as the solo instrument it had been in the Baroque and Classical eras. A lack of virtuoso oboists and compositions by major composers helped prolong this status. Goossens became the first English oboist to make a career as a full-time soloist and commissioned many British composers to write works for him.
