Bach Festival the First Collegiate Bach Festival in the Nation Bach Festival The First Collegiate Bach Festival in the Nation ANNOTATED PROGRAM APRIL 1921, 2013 THE 2013 BACH FESTIVAL IS MADE POSSIBLE BY: e Adrianne and Robert Andrews Bach Festival Fund in honor of Amelia & Elias Fadil DEDICATION ELINORE LOUISE BARBER 1919-2013 e Eighty-rst Annual Bach Festival is respectfully dedicated to Elinore Barber, Director of the Riemenschneider Bach Institute from 1969-1998 and Editor of the journal BACH—both of which she helped to found. She served from 1969-1984 as Professor of Music History and Literature at what was then called Baldwin-Wallace College and as head of that department from 1980-1984. Before coming to Baldwin Wallace she was from 1944-1969 a Professor of Music at Hastings College, Coordinator of the Hastings College-wide Honors Program, and Curator of the Rinderspacher Rare Score and Instrument Collection located at that institution. Dr. Barber held a Ph.D. degree in Musicology from the University of Michigan. She also completed a Master’s degree at the Eastman School of Music and received a Bachelor’s degree with High Honors in Music and English Literature from Kansas Wesleyan University in 1941. In the fall of 1951 and again during the summer of 1954, she studied Bach’s works as a guest in the home of Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Since 1978, her Schweitzer research brought Dr. Barber to the Schweitzer House archives (Gunsbach, France) many times. In 1953 the collection of Dr. Albert Riemenschneider was donated to the University by his wife, Selma. Sixteen years later, Dr. Warren Scharf, then director of the Conservatory, and Dr. Edwin Riemenschneider, son of Albert and Selma, proposed the creation of an institute to house the collection and make it accessible to students and scholars. In 1970 Dr. Elinore Barber was named the Founding Director of the Riemenschneider Bach Institute. For the next 28 years, Dr. Barber created and led the Institute, expanding the holdings, hosting scholars, increasing accessibility, and initiating publication of the BACH: Journal of the Riemenschneider Bach Institute. Under the capable direction of Dr. Barber, the Riemenschneider Bach Institute and journal have become world renowned. Her knowledge of the rare vault holdings was unsurpassed. She was dedicated to inspiring her students to reach their goals and beyond. After Dr. Barber’s retirement from BW in 1998, she served as the historian and archivist at Hastings College until 2008.

Written when he was only 19, Almira tells a story of intrigue and romance in the court of the Queen of Castile, in a dazzling parade of entertainment and delight which Handel would often borrow from during his later career. One of the world’s leading Handel scholars, Professor Ellen T. Harris of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), has said that BEMF is the “perfect and only” organization to take on Handel’s earliest operatic masterpiece, as it requires BEMF’s unique collection of artistic talents: the musical leadership, precision, and expertise of BEMF Artistic Directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs; the stimulating and informed stage direction and magnificent production designs of BEMF Stage Director in Residence Gilbert Blin; “the world’s finest continuo team, which you have”; the highly skilled BEMF Baroque Dance Ensemble to bring to life Almira ’s substantial dance sequences; the all-star BEMF Orchestra; and a wide range of superb voices. BEMF will offer five fully-staged performances of Handel’s Almira from June 9 to 16, 2013 at the Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College (219 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, USA), followed by three performances at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center (14 Castle Street, Great Barrington, MA, USA) on June 21, 22, and 23, 2013 ; all performances will be sung in German with English subtitles.

  • The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I
    The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I Edited by Theodore Hoelty-Nickel Valparaiso, Indiana The greatest contribution of the Lutheran Church to the culture of Western civilization lies in the field of music. Our Lutheran University is therefore particularly happy over the fact that, under the guidance of Professor Theodore Hoelty-Nickel, head of its Department of Music, it has been able to make a definite contribution to the advancement of musical taste in the Lutheran Church of America. The essays of this volume, originally presented at the Seminar in Church Music during the summer of 1944, are an encouraging evidence of the growing appreciation of our unique musical heritage. O. P.

  • Psalm 45 Title: a Royal Wedding Song Author and Date: the Sons of Korah Key Verses
    Psalm 45 Title: A Royal Wedding Song Author and Date: The Sons of Korah Key Verses: Psalm 45:1, 17 Type: Royal / Messianic Outline A. The king’s messenger (verse 1). B. The king’s majesty (verses 2-9). C. The king’s marriage (verses 10-15). D. The king’s memorial (verses 16-17). Notes Title: “For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A song of loves.” See the notes on Psalm 42. The following psalms have something similar to this title: Psalm 42, 44-49, 84-85, and 87-88. “Shoshannim” means “lilies” and it may refer to a particular instrument (lilly-shaped cymbals?) or tune of the day to which this song was sung. This was a musical instruction given to the chief musician to direct the song “after” or “in the manner of” Shoshannim. “A song of loves” (also called an epithalamium) refers to a song that describes the love between a king (verse 1) and his queen (verse 9) who are about to marry. Summary: Psalm 45 is a royal psalm (see Psa. 2) describing the king and his marriage to the queen. It is a song celebrating the majesty (verses 2-9) and the marriage (verses 10- 15) of one of the king’s of Israel. The marriage of Solomon to the daughter of Pharaoh is one example that would fit this occasion (1 K. 3:1). First, the psalmist describes the king’s physical features (verses 2-5, 8-9) and then his spiritual qualities (verses 4, 6-7).

  • Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos
    Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos - A survey of the major recordings by Ralph Moore Ariadne auf Naxos is less frequently encountered on stage than Der Rosenkavalier or Salome, but it is something of favourite among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs, insofar as its plot revolves around a conceit typical of Hofmannsthal’s libretti, whereby two worlds clash: the merits of populist entertainment, personified by characters from the burlesque Commedia dell’arte tradition enacting Viennese operetta, are uneasily juxtaposed with the claims of high art to elevate and refine the observer as embodied in the opera seria to be performed by another company of singers, its plot derived from classical myth. The tale of Ariadne’s desertion by Theseus is performed in the second half of the evening and is in effect an opera within an opera. The fun starts when the major-domo conveys the instructions from “the richest man in Vienna” that in order to save time and avoid delaying the fireworks, both entertainments must be performed simultaneously. Both genres are parodied and a further contrast is made between Zerbinetta’s pragmatic attitude towards love and life and Ariadne’s morbid, death-oriented idealism – “Todgeweihtes Herz!”, Tristan und Isolde-style. Strauss’ scoring is interesting and innovative; the orchestra numbers only forty or so players: strings and brass are reduced to chamber-music scale and the orchestration heavily weighted towards woodwind and percussion, with the result that it is far less grand and Romantic in scale than is usual in Strauss and a peculiarly spare ad spiky mood frequently prevails.

She performed first in Dresden and Leipzig, sharing the bill with the violinist Joseph Joachim. At some point during their stay in Dresden, the two artists were treated to a performance by Johann Gottlob Schneider on the sumptuous Silbermann organ at the court church, the same instrument on which Schneider had often played for Robert Schumann. Also present was arguably the era’s most famous musical personality, who had traveled to the Saxon capital to conduct the premiere performance of his Dante Symphony.

Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Clayton Koelb Eric Downing Jonathan Hess Gabriel Trop Inga Pollmann © 2016 Matthew West Feminella ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MATTHEW WEST FEMINELLA: Staging Spontaneity: Corporeal Expression and the Paradox of Acting in the German Theater Discourse Around 1800 (Under the direction of Clayton Koelb) This dissertation explores how theories of spontaneity and the body are integrated into acting discourses on the German stage. I argue that the spontaneity of the human body represents a recurring feature in the acting discourses around 1800, which provoked a variety of responses from theorists of the theaters. These responses range from theorizing how to utilize corporeal spontaneity for the benefit of the theater to how to diminish its potential inimical effects on dramatic production. Theorizing about actors and spontaneity led these thinkers to re-conceptualize their notions of anthropology, semiotics, media, and human agency. Chapter 1 examines how Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in his correspondences and dramaturgical writings develops acting techniques that seek to reconcile intentionality and spontaneity: actors create mental images of bodies through poetic language that in turn are integrated into their own affective and bodily motions, thus artificially producing the impression of spontaneous natural action on stage.

Schon in frühen Jahren kündigte sich eine musikalische Begabung an. Als ich im Alter von zehn Jahren zu den Wiener Sängerknaben kam und dort bald auch solistische Aufgaben zu bewältigen hatte, war mein Weg für die Zukunft vor- programmiert. 1944 begann ich außerdem mit dem Studium der Harfe und der Musiktheorie an der Staatsakademie in Wien, 1946 kam das Gesangsstudium dazu, das ich bei Kammersänger Adolf Vogel absolvierte. Noch während des Studiums trat ich 1945 in den Akademie-Kammerchor unter der Leitung von Prof. Ferdinand Grossmann ein, der schon zuvor während meiner Knabenzeit künstlerischer Leiter der Wiener Sängerknaben war.

Dort feierte ich vor allem als Interpret der Tenor-Bufforollen große Erfolge; als Don Curzio in ‚Figaros Hochzeit‘ war ich allein 154mal, als Scaramuccio in ‚Ariadne auf Naxos‘ 123mal zu sehen. Obendrein gab ich den Balthasar Zorn in den ‚Meistersingern‘, den Spoletta in der ‚Tosca‘, den Monostatos in der ‚Zauberflöte‘ oder den Rossillon in der ‚Lus- tigen Witwe‘.

    Simon Beattie The 18th Century Books, manuscripts, music November 2012 FINANCING ENLIGHTENMENT 01. [ACADÉMIE DE DIJON.] Mémoire pour l’Académie des Sciences. [Dijon, c.1740.] Manuscript, small folio (285 × 200 mm), pp. 23, [1], stitched with blue silk in a single bifolium wrapper; edges a little dusty, slight fraying to upper cover and first leaf of text, stitching loose; old stamp ‘GG’ and ms inventory number to upper cover. £1300 The Dijon Academy was founded in 1725 by Hector- Bernard Pouffier, doyen of the Parlement de Bourgogne, and subsequently received a large endowment from Pouffier on his death in 1736. As a new foundation, removed from direct influence of church and state, it played an important part in fostering the Enlightenment project, and counted several eminent scholars among its early members, including the pioneering chemist Louis- Bernard Guyton de Morveau, historian and philosopher Charles de Brosses, and naturalists Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon and Bernard Germain, Comte de Lacépède. The Academy’s most enduring contribution to the Enlightenment, however, was in awarding a young Jean-Jacques Rousseau one of its annual prizes in 1750 for his essay Discours sur les sciences et les arts, in which he famously argued that the arts and sciences corrupt human morality. It was this essay which first found him fame as a philosopher and provided the germ for much of his later philosophy on the corruptive power of civilization. The present Mémoire has a good deal to say about the Academy prizes. It is a report, presumably drawn up on behalf of the governors or directors, which sought to clarify the terms of Pouffier’s will.
