Consequently, it delivers an emotional impact which none of the others can match. The only one of the arts whose origins can be precisely dated, it was ‘invented’ in Italy in 1597 as part of the Renaissance – the rebirth of interest in classical values.

  • Chapter 17: Opera in the Age of Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, and Weber
    Chapter 17: Opera in the Age of Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, and Weber I. Rossini A. Introduction 1. At the same as time Beethoven’s popularity in Vienna peaked, the operas of Gioachino Rossini (1792–1868) were winning acclaim, and young Franz Schubert was writing his most famous lieder. 2. Each of these composers represents the epitome of the genres with which they are most associated. a. Beethoven – instrumental music b. Schubert – smaller domestic pieces c. Rossini – opera 3. Each man’s career as a composer ended within a few years of the others: Beethoven died in 1826, Schubert in 1828, and Rossini essentially retired in 1829. B. The Popularity of Rossini 1. Rossini inherited the legacy of opera after Mozart. 2. His light, effervescent music was amazingly popular. 3. Rossini composed an average of two operas per year, and several of the early ones (including the Barber of Seville) were written in a month or less. 4. The conditions under which Rossini composed aided the quick presentation of his operas. a. He was part of a team in the theater. b. The product was commercial, and successful pieces were revamped for other productions. c. In this scenario, the composer was one of several service personnel, and the focus was on the performers. 5. Rossini and Beethoven differed substantially in many ways. a. Rossini tossed off brilliant pieces effortlessly and was involved in the practical music world. b. Beethoven worked hard on his pieces and was removed from the practical music world. 6. In opera circles, Rossini was seen as a great figure.

The new recording features world-class musicians and singers including conductor Derek Clark, Scottish Opera’s Head of Music. Commercial recordings of Scottish operas are rare, and this is the first such recording since Judith Weir’s A Night at the Chinese Opera in 2002. The 40-minute opera, commissioned by the University of Edinburgh to celebrate the 300th anniversary of its School of Chemistry in 2013, played to a full house at its world première in Edinburgh’s Assembly Rooms in October of that year.

    SERENATA MEXICANA: CELEBRATING 75 YEARS OF ANGLO-MEXICAN CULTURAL EXCHANGE Stephen J. Smith 2018 marks the 75th anniversary of The Anglo Mexican Foundation and its long history of hard, substantial, serious work in education and culture, in English- language teaching, teacher training, exams, education from pre-school to sixth form (or high school), scholarship programmes, arts programmes, and promoting relations and exchange between Mexico and Great Britain. Our history is full of wonderful achievement – both magnificent moments and long-term success in helping people fulfil their academic and professional aspirations in life. In a world of ‘Me first’, we seek to promote the common good. In all areas of our not-for-profit organisation – The Anglo, our Centre for Professional Development and Assessment, Churchill School and College, The Anglo Institute of Education and our cultural division, Anglo Arts – we strive every day to create exceptional opportunities for people to develop their abilities, and to improve their lives. We demand high quality in everything we do. Those 75 years are testimony to our successes and sustainability, and so we felt that such a landmark anniversary should be remembered with another very special project, a Mexican-British musical collaboration bringing together two exceptionally talented, modern Mexican composers and a superb new British chamber orchestra, the Shakespeare Sinfonia. Anglo Arts has turned this dream into reality with this recording. Stephen J. Smith, O.B.E. The Anglo Mexican Foundation 2 HOW THIS PROJECT CAME ABOUT Susan Chapman Since 1996 I have enjoyed the privilege and pleasure of developing and directing Anglo Arts, the cultural programme of The Anglo Mexican Foundation, a year-round multi-disciplinary arts project, showcasing new work and creating opportunities for Mexican and British artists to collaborate in co-production.
