Heliogabalus Letters Translated by Stephen Barber INTRODUCTION by Stephen Barber The acts of excess and aberration of the Roman Emperors have provoked richly obsessional responses from innumerable writers and artists over the centuries. In the twentieth century, that fascination (now shared too by filmmakers) emerged at moments of profound upheaval and social disintegration: in Germany during the 1910s, in France during the 1930s, and in Japan during the 1960s - and worldwide, in the contemporary moment. The grandiose and arbitrary abuse of unlimited power, the overriding infinite desire for immediate sexual ecstasy and oblivion especially through violence and subjugation, and the nonchalant eradication of entire populations, are now ever-more familiar

  • Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works Part 2: Viennese Classics by Stephen Barber
    Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works Part 2: Viennese Classics By Stephen Barber Gluck first wrote Orfeo ed Eurydice in 1762 for Vienna, in Italian, with an alto castrato in the lead role. He transposed the solo role upwards for a soprano castrato in 1769. He revised the work considerably for Paris in 1774, having the libretto translated into French, rewriting the solo role for the kind of high tenor known as a haut-contre, revising the orchestration and writing new recitatives and additional ballets, including some material from his own earlier works, such as the virtuoso aria Amour, viens rendre at the end of the first Act and the Dance of the Furies in the second. In the nineteenth century, the rise in pitch made the tenor version impractical and in 1866 Berlioz revised the whole opera, knowing both the 1762 and 1774 versions well. He rewrote the solo part for a mezzo-soprano or contralto. He also restored the key structure of the 1762 version while retaining most, though not all, of the additional material from 1774, but reverting to the 1762 orchestration where he thought it superior to the revision.1 Given Gluck’s willingness to revise his work for different occasions and to borrow freely from his other works, the aim of constructing an ideal version seems particularly appropriate for Orfeo. While 1762, with either a soprano or a countertenor, and 1774 with a high tenor each has its advocates, the mainstream view, with which I concur, is to go for the Berlioz version, though often this is also modified, for example by adding in the passages which he cut and translating it back into Italian.

  • Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works by Stephen Barber
    Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works by Stephen Barber Introduction Over the years a number of musical works have been left incomplete by their composers or have been partly or wholly lost and have been reconstructed. I have a particular interest in such works and now offer a preliminary survey of them. A musical work in the Western classical tradition is the realization of a written score. Improvisation usually plays a very small part, and is replaced by interpretation, which means that a score may be realized in subtly different ways. The idiom in most periods involves a certain symmetry in design and the repetition, sometimes varied, sometimes not, of key parts of the work. If the score is unfinished, then a completion or reconstruction by a good scholar or composer allows us to hear at least an approximation to what the composer intended. The use of repetition as part of the overall design can make this possible, or the existence of sketches or earlier or later versions of the work, or a good understanding of the design and idiom. Without this the work may be an incomplete torso or may be unperformable. The work is not damaged by this process, since, unlike a picture, a sculpture or a building, it exists not as a unique physical object but as a score, which can be reproduced without detriment to the original and edited and performed without affecting the original version. Completions and reconstructions may be well or badly done, but they should be judged on how well they appear to complete what appears to be the original design by the composer.
