Modest Petrovich Moussorgsky (Born at Karevo, district of Toropeta, in the government of Pskov, on March 28, 1835; died at Leningrad on March 28, 1881) This Prelude, which illustrates the coming of dawn over the Red Square in the Kremlin at Moscow, is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, kettle-drums, harp, tam-tam, and strings. The Prelude was performed for the first time in Boston by the Boston Symphony Orchestra on October 24, 1924, Dr. Kous- sevitzky, conductor. The opera, which has for its subject the conflict between Old and New Russia at the end of the seventeenth century, was suggested to Moussorgsky by his friend Vladimir Stassov, the celebrated wit and music critic (1824-1906). "It seemed to me,' 7 Stassov wrote in 1872, "that the antagonism between Old and Xew Russia, the disappear- ance of one and the coming of the other, would furnish a fertile field for a drama or an opera, and Moussorgsky agreed with me. I thought to bring out in relief the noble figure of Dosifei, the leader of the Raskolniki (Old Believers), an energetic, intelligent, clear- seeing, experienced person, around whom would move Prince Khovanski, the representative of fanatical Russia, and Prince Golitzin, the representative of civilized Europe, that one was be- Just Issued From Palestrina to Grieg First Year Music Biography By Thomas T apper, Liu d. A companion volume to First Year Music History Deals chronologically with the great composers, giving the story of each and discussing his contribution to the general development of the art of music. Each chapter is concerned with a single composer, and has at the end a synopsis and review questions which serve to emphasize the main points and test the student's knowledge. The book may be used for class work, for reference purposes, or may be read for general instruction and enjoyment.

Other characters were to be the pastor and his old sister; their niece; two female Raskolniki—Marfa, vibrating with youth and passion (something after the manner of Potiphar's wife), Susanne, malicious, fanatical; the child Peter the Great; the intelligent Sophie, in the midst of her fierce Streltzy ; the suicide en masse of the heretics at the end of the opera, when Dosifei sees that Old Kussia is on its deathbed to give place to the New—all this appeared to us, characters and situations, passionate material full of promise." Oskar von Riesemann tells us that, in preparation for the opera, Moussorgsky "devoted himself to researches into the sectarian dis- putes of Old Russia and pored for months over the old chronicles in the monasteries of Moscow." (It was not until the summer of 1859 that he was able to see Moscow.) "Khovanstchina" (accent on the first a) is a word of little mean- ing.

Addy, Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School © Copyright by Nathan MacAvoy, 2020 All Rights Reserved. ii DEDICATION This treatise is dedicated to my wife Martha. She consistently challenges me to do my best, innovate, and plan. Her support throughout my graduate degrees has been invaluable. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the members of my committee for their investment in my education as a scholar, teacher, and musician. Dr. Jenkins’ classes challenged me not only to excel in music theory but also to use that knowledge for the benefit of others. Dr. Price served as my degree advisor and helped me improve my writing for many proposals. Weekly lessons with Dr. Fugo are already missed, but how I listen to, practice, and perform music has been transformed. I did not enjoy research until Dr. Ernst’s advanced research class. It prepared me to both finish and enjoy writing this treatise. I could not have begun this program without my previous instructors and mentors. Dr. Moore and Dr. Boerckel taught me throughout high school and my undergraduate degree. Their consistent investment prompted me to continue with a musical career.

  • Musical Performance and Cocktail Reception September 08, 2011
    Musical Performance and Cocktail Reception September 08, 2011 The Consul General of the Czech Republic in Los Angeles, Michal Sedlacek, will host the Garden Party in his residence in honor of the 170th anniversary of the birth of classical composer Antonin Dvořák. The Salastina Music Society and Walden String Quartet will present a few samples of Dvořák’s work. Music Professors Robert Winter of UCLA and Nick Strimple of USC will speak briefly on the importance of Dvořák in American music. Film Producer/Actor Lenora May and Emmy Award winner Craig Heller will take you inside the fascinating world of independent filmmaking for a detailed look at their upcoming film project, Spillville, the true story of Dvořák's inspirational 1893 trip to Spillville, Iowa (participation upon invitation only). Deo Gratias (directed by Martin Suchanek), September 14 and 21 at 7:30 pm Film documentary depicting Dvorak´s life and work (English subtitles) Screening at the Consulate General of the Czech Republic 10990 Wilshire Blvd, Ste 1100, Los Angeles CA 90024 A documentary that portrays the world-renowned Czech composer as a man of strong character, sensitivity, education and Christian faith, as a patriot and a man whose talent took him from a very modest family background to the highest peak of fame. How was it that a musician unknown until the age of 33 became adored all over Europe, was invited to the USA to help create a national American music, and was awarded doctorates and honorary memberships from top international orchestras? From where did Dvořák draw the strength to preserve his own unique identity and not succumb to contemporary fashion trends? All these questions are addressed in this fascinating documentary.

  • Dvořák Prague Festival to Open with a Magnificent Performance of the Specter's Bride
    Dvořák Prague Festival to Open with a Magnificent Performance of The Specter's Bride Prague, 29 August 2018 – The opening concert of this year's 11th edition of the Dvořák Prague International Music Festival, held in the Rudolfinum on 7 September 2018, will feature a work that brings together the extraordinary mastery of two geniuses: composer Antonín Dvořák and poet Karel Jaromír Erben. The Specter's Bride is a cantata that bonds Dvořák's music with Erben's poetry to create a work of art with an emotionally strong impact. The performance will be delivered by the Czech Philharmonic and the Czech Philharmonic Choir of Brno under the direction of Jakub Hrůša. The part of the maiden who prayed for her sinful desires and nearly paid with her life for doing so will be performed by soprano Kateřina Kněžíková, while tenor Richard Samek will lend his voice to her dead lover. Baritone Svatopluk Sem will assume the role of the narrator. Despite its dramatic and musical qualities, this extraordinary work is rarely featured in concerts. Jakub Hrůša will also conduct the Czech Philharmonic in a unique rendition of the original complete version of Saint Ludmila, a monumental oratorio whose symbolic performance on September 15, the day on which the Czech saint died, will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the sovereign state of the Czech and Slovak nations. ‘We want to honor the 100th anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia by showcasing Dvořák's great work that embodies his humility, faith, and unassuming patriotism as well as his ability to see beyond the horizon, to appreciate the world, and to enrich others with music that is intrinsically rooted in his nation's heritage, but, at the same time, transcends all borders,’ said the festival's Artistic Director Marek Vrabec.
