The role of such an ensemble was to provide enter- tainment (a bit like a radio or CD today). And it was regarded as a status symbol, showing that the household was up-to-date, in line with the latest cultural vogue. Joseph II picked the best musicians of the moment, most of them principal players from the Imperial Theatre orchestra: Georg Triebensee and Johann Went (oboes), the Stadler brothers (clarinets), Rupp and Eisen (horns), Kauzner and Drobney (bassoons). Besides being outstanding performers, some of them were skilled composers and most of them were remarkably brilliant ar- rangers. The latter was a great asset for members of a Harmonie. Indeed, the prime task of such ensembles was to provide background music, i.e. music to ser- enade the noble and wealthy or to accompany their meals (Tafelmusik). They played specially written serenades and divertimenti, of course, but also – and above all – transcriptions of popular operatic arias heard recently at the theatre. Offering a great variety of colours and dynamics, this combination of wind instruments lends itself very well to such transcriptions, bringing out admirably the melodic expression of the different voices, almost to the point of enabling the listener to guess the text behind the notes. An excellent example of the daily practice of a Harmonie is given by Mozart at the end of his opera Don Giovanni, when the protagonist gives a banquet that is accompanied by his wind octet (a stage ensemble, separate from the musicians sitting in the orchestra pit). While Don Giovanni is dining and awaiting his guest the Commendatore, the band plays arrangements by Mozart of arias from the most popular operas in Vienna at that time: Una cosa rara by Vicente Martín y Soler and I litiganti by Giuseppe Sarti, to which Wolfgang Amadeus amusingly adds Figaro’s famous 5 English Français Deutsch Italiano Español aria ‘Non più andrai’ from his own Le nozze octet of Don Giovanni have survived to this day. di Figaro.

Such a formation offers even more possibilities in reproducing the expression and colours of the original opera, without ne- glecting the principles of the historical arrange- ments, which are still seen as the reference for Zefiro’s arrangements. Our choice of arias was made with the aim of building up a well-balanced instrumental suite for concert performance, rather than in an at- tempt to recreate the dramatic tension of the original opera. Furthermore, many articulations imposed by the text of the vocal parts have been modified in order to be more in keeping with the idiom of the instruments (a similar discrepancy between the vocal and the instrumental part is found in the early arrangements and even in the actual operas). On the other hand, we have not denied ourselves the pleasure of inserting some effects that are at home in a theatrical performance. 8 Mozart en Harmonie Les trois opéras sur des livrets de Lorenzo Da Ponte, arrangés par Alfredo Bernardini pour 13 instruments : 2 hautbois, 2 clarinettes, 2 cors de basset, 4 cors, 2 bassons et 1 contrebasse En 1782, l’empereur Joseph Il fonde à Vienne son Harmonie Impériale, l’extraordinaire Königliche-Kaiserliche Harmonie, octuor à vent composé de deux hautbois, deux clarinettes, deux cors et deux bassons.

Spanning the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, these transcriptions of large-scale works had a formative influence on the creative activity of subsequent composers. Most notable are the transcriptions of operas. Some include more than twenty movements and capture much of the drama and intensity of the stage versions. While the Viennese wind octet with pairs of oboes, clarinets, bassoons and horns became the standard instrumentation for the properly defined Harmonie, many pieces were also arranged and composed for ensembles ranging from six to ten players. Composers such as Haydn (1732-1809), Stamitz (1745-1801), Mozart (1756-1791), Krommer (1759-1831), Beethoven (1770-1827) and Mendelssohn (1809- 1847) contributed works to the Harmoniemusik genre.

  • Rivera, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2016
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: W.A. MOZART’S DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE AN ARRANGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE EDITION FOR WIND INSTRUMENTS AND VOCAL SOLOISTS Anthony Rivera, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Michael Votta, Jr., School of Music The purpose of this dissertation is to produce a new Harmonie arrangement of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte suitable for modern performance, bringing Joseph Heidenreich’s 1782 arrangement—one of the great treasures of the wind repertoire—to life for future performers and audiences. I took advantage of the capabilities of modern wind instruments and performance techniques, and employed other instruments normally found in the modern wind ensemble1 to create a work in the tradition of Heidenreich’s that restored as much of Mozart’s original thinking as possible. I expanded the Harmonie band to include flute and string bass. Other instruments provide special effects, a traditional role for wind instruments in the Classical opera orchestra. This arrangement is conceived to be performed with the original vocal soloists, making it a viable option for concert performance or for smaller staged productions. It is also intended to allow the wind players to be onstage with the singers, becoming part of 1 The instrumentation model of most current US university band programs is based on the instrumentation of the original 1952 Eastman Wind Ensemble. the dramatic action while simultaneously serving as the “opera orchestra.” This allows creative staging possibilities, and offers the wind players an opportunity to explore new aspects of performing. My arrangement also restores Mozart’s music to its original keys and retains much of his original wind scoring.

  • "Ei, Dem Alten Herrn Zoll' Ich Achtung Gern'"
    Christine Siegert, Kristin Herold Die Gattung als vernetzte Struktur Überlegungen zur Oper um 1800 In der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts bildete sich ein Repertoire vor allem ita- lienischer Opern heraus, die in ganz Europa gespielt wurden. Dabei wurden sie bekanntermaßen an die jeweiligen Aufführungsbedingungen angepasst. Dass die so zustande gekommenen Bearbeitungen als konstitutiv für die Gattung Oper gelten können und dass Opern in jener Zeit daher als Werke angesehen werden müssen, die sich aus der Gesamtheit ihrer Quellen konstituieren, wurde an anderer Stelle zu zeigen versucht. Ein wesentliches Moment bei der Anpassung waren die sogenannten Einlagearien, die zusätzlich oder als Ersatz für andere Arien in die Opern eingefügt wurden. Es konnte sich sowohl um eigens für den neuen Kontext komponierte Arien handeln als auch um Arien, die ursprünglich aus anderen Opern stammten. Diese Arien wanderten also von einem Bühnenwerk in ein anderes – sei es auf der Basis des Notentextes, der verbreitet wurde, sei es auf der Basis des Materials, indem eine Arie einer Opernpartitur entnommen und in eine andere wieder eingefügt wurde. Gerade der letztere Vorgang zeigt, dass die Arien im Resultat beiden Opern zugehörten, der Oper, aus der sie ursprünglich stammten, und der Oper, der sie später angehören. Die Arien schaffen also eine Verbindung zwischen verschiedenen Werken der Gattung. Die Erforschung solcher Verbindungen hat sich bislang auf den Einzelfall beschränkt, etwa indem Einlagearien einer Oper als aus einer anderen Oper stammend identifiziert wurden. Indes wurde unseres Wissens noch nicht versucht, das Phänomen umfassend zu untersuchen. So haben auch wir bei unseren Recherchen zunächst begonnen, solche Einzelbeobachtungen zu sammeln.

London loved him and his Symphony the opportunity to present most of our concert season at Boston’s glorious Symphony Hall. No. 99 was not to disappoint. One critic hailed it as “a composition of the most exquisite kind, Built in 1900, it is principally the home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, but it has been rich, fanciful, bold and impressive”. The woodwind writing in the second movement Adagio is our primary performance home since 1900 as well, and it is considered by many, with some simply exemplary and demonstrates his mastery of symphonic art. Haydn was out to enlighten justification I would add, to be one of the finest concert halls in the world. It is that classic and delight and its Finale certainly achieves the latter. He litters the movement with numerous ‘shoebox style’ reminiscent of the Musikverein in Vienna; the acoustics are quite superb and, jokes of instrumentation and the overall effect is quite simply breathtaking. despite its size – c.2500 capacity – perfect for playing on period instruments.
