Die Bydrae Van Die Drakensberg Seunskoor Tot Die Musieklewe in Suid-Afrika: ’N Historiese Oorsig DIE BYDRAE VAN DIE DRAKENSBERG SEUNSKOOR TOT DIE MUSIEKLEWE IN SUID-AFRIKA: ’N HISTORIESE OORSIG deur Maria Magdalena de Beer Voorgelê ter gedeeltelike vervulling van die vereistes vir die graad Doktor in Musiek in die Fakulteit Geesteswetenskappe Universiteit van Pretoria Promotor: Prof. W.D. Viljoen Mede-promotor: Prof. H.H. van der Mescht Pretoria April 2008 BEDANKINGS By voorlegging van hierdie studie is dit my voorreg om die volgende persone, wat elkeen op ’n besondere wyse ’n bydrae gelewer het, van harte te bedank: • Prof. W.D. Viljoen: Promotor • Prof. H.H. van der Mescht: Mede-promotor • Isobel van der Walt van die musiekbiblioteek van die Universiteit van Pretoria, vir haar bereidwilligheid en professionaliteit • Personeel, oudleerlinge en dirigente van die Drakensberg Seunskoorskool • Rudolf de Beer en Drechia Snyman vir hul advies en bystand • Personeel van die musiekbiblioteek van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch ii OPSOMMING In hierdie studie word gepoog om ’n historiese oorsig te gee oor die bydrae van die Drakensberg Seunskoor tot die musieklewe in Suid-Afrika. So ’n studie is nog nie voorheen onderneem nie. As agtergrond tot die geskiedkundige navorsing is ʼn algemene oorsig van die koortradisies in Suid-Afrika, en hoe wedersydse beïnvloeding met die Drakensberg Seunskoor plaasgevind het, in hierdie studie uiteengesit. Daar is verder gekyk na die ontstaan en algemene agtergrond van die skool, die musiekopvoeding, kooraktiwiteite, konserte, repertorium, opnames, oudleerlinge en dirigente. ’n Algemene historiese weergawe van die Drakensberg Seunskoor vorm die grootste komponent van die studie. Onderhoude, persoonlike gesprekke, direkte observasie, deelnemende observasie, versameling van inligting deur dokumente en argiefrekords en die studie van kulturele artefakte is die metodes wat gebruik is om inligting te versamel. As gevolg van die feit dat die koor ʼn groot hoeveelheid repertorium van verskillende genres sing, word die toonkunstenaarskap van die koorlede en dirigente uitsonderlik ontwikkel, veral wat betref verskillende uitvoeringspraktyke, wat ook ’n praktiese toepassing is van die musiekkurrikulum by die skool. Die aantal optredes, toere, repertorium en opnames, asook die aantal hoëprofielkontrakte wat die Drakensberg Seunskoor sedert sy ontstaan ontvang het, is ’n duidelike bewys dat hierdie koor nie slegs ’n baie groot invloed op die Suid-Afrikaanse musieklewe het nie, maar ook internasionaal uitstekend vaar. Die sukses van alumni en oud-dirigente se verdere musiekloopbane onderskryf ook hierdie stelling. Die genoemde intense opvoeding deur middel van musiek het tot gevolg dat van die oud-leerlinge die internasionale musiekwêreld met sukses betree, en daardeur die skool se invloed ver buite die landsgrense uitdra. Curricula vitae van alumni van die skool, waaronder Barry Coleman, Jacques Imbrailo, Colin Lee, Mark Nixon, Clint van der Linde en Deon van der Walt, staaf hierdie stelling. Curricula vitae van dirigente wat betrokke was by die koorskool sedert die ontstaan van die skool (in 1967) tot 2006 toon dat die koor nie slegs musici van iii formaat lok nie, maar ook aan hierdie afrigters die geleentheid bied om hulle toonkunstenaarskap te ontwikkel wat hulle in staat stel om later ’n groot rol in die musieklewe van Suid-Afrika, asook soms internasionaal, te speel. Hierdie studie lewer ’n bydrae tot die erkenning wat die Drakensberg Seunskoor verdien. Dit gee terselfdertyd aan uitvoerders, studente en historici ’n breër agtergrond, insig en waardering vir die koorskool. iv Sleutelterme Drakensberg Seunskoor Drakensberg Seunskoorskool Koor Musiekopvoeding Koortradisies Koordirigente v SUMMARY This study aims to give a historic overview of the contribution of the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir to music in South Africa. Such a study has not yet been undertaken up to date. As background to the historic research, a general overview of choral traditions in South Africa and the mutual influence with the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir is set out in this study. Other aspects explored include the origin and general background of the school, the musical education, choir activities, concerts, repertoire, recordings, past students and conductors. A historic account of the choir forms the greatest part of the study. The methods used to gather information include interviews, personal conversations, direct observation, participatory observation, the collection of information from documents and archive records and the study of cultural artefacts. Because the choir sings a large repertoire from different genres, the musicianship of the choir members and conductors is developed particularly well, especially regarding different performance practices, which is also a practical application of the music curriculum at the school. The number of performances, tours, repertoire and recordings, as well as the high profile contracts that the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir has received since its origin, are clear indications that the choir not only has a significant influence on South African music, but also does exceptionally well internationally. The success of the further music careers of alumni and past conductors supports this statement. The school’s intense education through music means that past students enter the international music world successfully, and in this way carry the school’s influence far beyond the country’s borders. Curricula vitae of alumni of the school, which include Barry Coleman, Jacques Imbrailo, Colin Lee, Mark Nixon, Clint van der Linde and Deon van der Walt, are proof of this. Curricula vitae of conductors that have been involved with the choir school since its origin (in 1967) to 2006, show that the choir not only attracts noted musicians, but also offers them the opportunity to develop their musicianship, which allows them to later play a great role in music in South Africa, often also internationally. vi This study contributes to the recognition that the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir deserves. It gives performers, students and historians a broad background, and at the same time insight into and appreciation for the choir school. vii Keywords Drakensberg Boys’ Choir Drakensberg Boys’ Choir School Choir Music education Choir traditions Choir conductors viii LYS AFKORTINGS ATKV Afrikaanse Taal- en Kultuurvereniging BA Regte Baccalaureus Artium Regsgeleerdheid BBC British Broadcasting Corporation BComm Baccalaureus Commercii BOE Bank of England BMG Bertelsmann Music Group BMus Baccalaureus Musicae BWV Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis DBC Stereo Drakensberg Boys’ Choir Stereo DMus Doctor Musicae EMI Electric and Musical Industries Ltd ENO English National Opera FNB First National Bank FM Frekwensiemodulasie Hob Hoboken HWV Händel-Werke-Verzeichnis K Köchel KRUIK Kaapse Raad vir Uitvoerende Kunste LTCL Licentiate of Trinity College London MMus Magister Musicae Op Opus PUK Potchefstroomse Universiteitskollege (later Potchefstroomse Universiteit vir Christelike Hoër Onderwys) RAU Randse Afrikaanse Universiteit, Johannesburg RV Ryom-Verzeichnis SAFM Suid-Afrikaanse Frekwensiemodulasie; Engelse radiosender van die SAUK SAMA South African Music Awards SAMRO Suid-Afrikaanse Musiekregte-Organisasie SATB Sopraan Alt Tenoor Bas ix SAUK Suid-Afrikaanse Uitsaaikoörporasie SUKOVS Streekraad vir Uitvoerende Kunste van die Oranje-Vrystaat SV Stattkus-Verzeichnis SWV Schütz-Werke-Verzeichnis TRUK Transvaalse Raad vir Uitvoerende Kunste TV Televisie UNISA Universiteit van Suid-Afrika, Pretoria VSA Verenigde State van Amerika x INHOUD 1.

  • Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Cecilia Bartoli, Jonas Kaufmann and Other Acquaintances in the New Streaming Series «Souvenirs »
    Opernhaus Zürich AG Bettina Auge Pressereferentin Falkenstrasse 1 CH-8008 Zürich T +41 44 268 64 34 [email protected] www.opernhaus.ch Zurich, March 1, 2021 LEGENDARY OPERATIC HISTORY NIKOLAUS HARNONCOURT, CECILIA BARTOLI, JONAS KAUFMANN AND OTHER ACQUAINTANCES IN THE NEW STREAMING SERIES «SOUVENIRS » Theater legends are made of memories, anchored in the minds of those who were there when great- ness took to the stage. With its new «Souvenirs» series, the Opernhaus aims to bring some of these legendary moments back. Consisting of streaming videos that will be presented on weekends be- tween March and May 2021 , the series is made possible thanks to the Opernhaus Zürich’s partners – UBS and Credit Suisse – whose kind support allows these eight extraordinary productions from the an- nals of the Opernhaus to be available free of charge. These unique additions will add unforgettable moments and provide surprising new ones to the online program. The new program features a selection of productions that pay tribute to Nikolaus Harnoncourt, one of the house’s most important conductors. His creative output in Zurich is surprising in its breadth and is astonishingly ahead of its time. Every title in this series honors and celebrates his artistic legacy. How- ever, the selections chosen for «Souvenir» offer much more, including encounters with the grand opera singers of our time: a young Cecilia Bartoli as Donna Elvira in «Don Giovanni», Vesselina Kasa- rova as Offenbach’s beautiful Helena, or a young Jonas Kaufmann as Florestan. In addition, it offers audiences the chance to discover rarities such as Schumann’s «Genoveva» or Engelbert Humper- dinck’s «Königskinder».

Schiller is best known, however, as a dramatist, not because his plays have conquered the world’s stages – far from it, his wonderfully musical verse does not seem to translate well – but because of the successful operas that have been based on them. Verdi alone composed four Schiller operas (Giovanna d’Arco from Die Jungfrau von Orleans, I masnadieri from Die Räuber, Luisa Miller from Kabale und Liebe and Don Carlo from Don Carlos); while Rossini scored a box-office success with Guillaume Tell, fashioned by a number of librettists from Wilhelm Tell.

  • A Reception History of Opera in Cape Town: Tracing the Development of a Distinctly South African Operatic Aesthetic (1985–2015)
    A reception history of opera in Cape Town: Tracing the development of a distinctly South African operatic aesthetic (1985–2015) Wayne Muller Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof Stephanus Muller December 2018 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2018 Copyright © 2018 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za SUMMARY In this dissertation an historical narrative is constructed of the reception of opera performances in Cape Town between 1985 and 2015 as reported on in the Cape Times and Die Burger. The study is theoretically situated in reception theory, specifically as articulated in Musicology by Carl Dahlhaus in Foundations of Music History. Reception histories are built on the social responses to art, and in the case of this study, opinions and views on opera were gathered from journalistic articles published specifically in the Western Cape daily newspapers, the Cape Times and Die Burger. In Chapter 1, the current literature on opera history in South Africa is reviewed, and the theoretical framework is discussed. Also in this chapter, is an overview of the South African media landscape, which serves as a contextual framework and perspective from which the primary sources (journalistic articles) were written.
