MDCCXCIV LONDON SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON & CO., LTD. 1 427 .i PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY PURNELL PAULlON, SOMERSET, ENGLAND PUBLISHERS’ ANNOUNCEMENT T a k e the light away from the skies, take the flowers ofL our earth, take the waves from the sea, and take Music out of our lives, and what is left ? A darkened world, a barren earth, a waste of stagnant water, saddened days and joyless nights. Music, in one form or another,—whether learned or simple, vocal or instrumental, dramatic or lyrical, appeals to our entire race, and those who have spent their years in pro­ ducing it for us, have contributed abundantly to the sum of human happiness. Acknowledging our indebtedness to them, it is but natural that we should wish to know something about the when, where, and how, of their activities. This information the present series of biographies of Music’s mighty Masters, supplies, in briefly-told volumes, full of reliable facts, with very little exaggeration or parti­ sanship, and compiled by authors of highest standing, each with special qualification for his task. The volumes are issued at the uniform price of 2s. 6d., and are obtainable from any bookseller in the Kingdom and Colonies. The general editorship has been entrusted to Mr. Francesco Berger, Hon. R.A.M., F.G.S.M., whose extended experience has been of valuable service to us and whose ready help we gratefully acknowledge. S a m p s o n L o w , M a e s t o n & C o., L t d . CHERUBINI C h e r u b i n i stands at the parting of the roads—the older from the newer, in music. He appears to have worthily closed that procession of great musicians, whom, for want of better definition, we conventionally speak of as “ classic.” While musicians of every type take off their hats to his name, his music has never been “ popular” with the masses, who, at all times and in every land, prefer to be entertained rather than elevated. Unlike most musicians of his rank, Cherubini’s fame is unconnected with any particular instrument, whether organ, piano, or violin. It rests on the far grander founda­ tion of masses, symphonies and operas of masterly quality. Musicians have occasionally been known, by their candid admiration, to arouse public interest in some particular favourite of theirs, or to add the lustre of their name to the ranks of worshippers at some recognised shrine. Mendelssohn was enthusiastic about Bach, and Saint-Saens worshipped Mozart. What should be the attitude of the world to one whose genius evoked unqualified praise from a Haydn, a Beethoven, and a Mendelssohn ? Surely the day must soon dawn when Cherubini will come into his own, and tardy justice be done to a composer whom such illustrious contemporaries acknowledged as one of Music’s mighty Masters. F . B.

  • Cherubini Luigi
    CHERUBINI LUIGI Compositore italiano (Firenze, 14 IX 1760 - Parigi, 15 III 1842) 1 Decimo figlio di Bartolomeo (Firenze 21 X 1726 - 10 IX 1792), sostituto clavicembalista al teatro della Pergola, e di Veridiana Bosi, iniziò lo studio della musica sotto la guida paterna; a nove anni, morta nel frattempo la madre, andò a scuola presso Bartolomeo ed Alessandro Felici, padre e figlio, i quali proprio allora avevano aperto in Firenze una specie di "bottega" per l'insegnamento del contrappunto. Al 1773 risale la prima composizione elencata in quel catalogo di tutte le sue opere che Cherubini istituì più tardi e tenne fedelmente aggiornato sino alla vigilia della morte. Si tratta di una Messa in Re con accompagnamento di strumenti, cui tengono dietro, nel periodo dal 1773 al 1777 due Intermezzi, due Messe, un Oratorio, altra musica sacra e una Cantata. In seguito a questi precoci successi, il granduca Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena concedette a Cherubini una borsa di studio affinché il giovane musicista potesse stabilirsi nella vicina Bologna e frequentare le lezioni di G. Sarti. Il trasferimento a Bologna ebbe luogo nel 1778, ma non durò molto perché Sarti, nel 1779, vinse il concorso per un posto di maestro di Cappella nel Duomo di Milano e a Milano portò seco il suo allievo. Qui Cherubini compose altre musiche sacre (che non si trovano più) a titolo di studio; e da Milano, nello stesso anno 1779, si recò ad Alessandria per musicare e far rappresentare in quel teatro, nella stagione della fiera d’autunno, il suo primo melodramma Quinto Fabio. Poi rientrò a Milano, dove nel 1780 scrisse le 6 Sonate per clavicembalo.

  • Soviet-Indian Coproductions: Ali Baba As Political Allegory
    Soviet-Indian Coproductions: Ali Baba as Political Allegory by MASHA SALAZKINA Abstract: This essay considers the history of Soviet Indian coproductions focusing on Ali Baba and 40 Thieves (1980) as a political allegory over the fate of the multination state. It addresses the formal utopian character of the fi lm and the excessive threat of sexual violence in the song-and-dance numbers. he subject of this essay is the little studied phenomenon of the Soviet-Indian cinematic coproductions. While giving a general outline of the history of these coproductions, I focus primarily on the most commercially successful of these joint efforts, Ali Baba and 40 Thieves (Alibaba Aur 40 Chor/Priklyucheniya Ali-Baby Ti soroka razboinikov, Latif Faiziyev and Umesh Mehra, 1980), henceforward Alibaba. I argue that the fi lm contains a political allegory expressing anxiety over the fate of the multination state; that anxiety lies beneath the formal utopian character of the fi lm, which attempts to show the constitution of a new community on the screen and to defi ne the role of its political subject in the face of crime and governmental corruption. I will address these issues through discussing the directors’ choice of the material (a story from One Thousand and One Nights, or The Arabian Nights, as it is better known in English); the narrative structure of the fi lm; performance histories of the Indian and Soviet actors; and, fi nally, through a reading of the excessive threat of sexual violence concentrated in the fi lm’s song-and-dance numbers. Alibaba, I con- tend, is of interest not only due to the formal and institutional hybridization of two autonomous cinematic traditions, Indian and Soviet, but also as a cultural object which displays a shared anxiety over the role of the state as its existing political and economic order moves palpably toward the brink of collapse.

  • How Arabs Are Laughably Derided in Animations
    Original Article KOME − An International Journal of Pure Communication Inquiry Cartoonin g Humor: How Arabs Volume 3 Issue 2, p. 64-74. © The Author(s) 2015 are Laughably Derided in Reprints and Permission: [email protected] Animations Published by the Hungarian Communication Studies Association DOI: 10.17646/KOME.2015.25 Mohamed Belamghari Mohammed First University, Morocco Abstract: Some animated movies use humor to capture the full attention of its audience. In so doing, the movie’s messages have become a great concern for many theorists and critics by virtue of the idea that a movie can be a repository of ideologies meant to construct a certain type of easy-going and noncritical audience. This paper, therefore, takes the example of Max Fleischer’s Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba and his Forty Thieves (1937) and Robert Clampett’s Ali Baba Bound (1941) as its case studies aiming at spotting the different manifestations of humor, taking Arabs as its subject-matter, becoming a leaked ideology and taming the discourse that is amplified, manipulated, and delivered to the Western public in unwarrantable ways compared to the imagery of Westerners. Keywords: Passive/silent spectatorship, Humor, Anachronism, Ideology, Stereotypes The bleak visions of quite a few novels of the period are couched in a bitterly irreverent humor that has the capacity to shock readers out of their apathy and self-pity; to produce an angry laughter that is hopefully more productive than despair; to disorient in order to reorient. (Al-Nowaihi 2005: 295) It has often been remarked that part of the philosophy of humor is to draw unexpected results from unexpected situations.

    4. ROCK 2 Yeah, Diamond in the Rough. WHEEZER Gotcha. Wheezer starts walking away only to be stopped by Jafar. The two pantomime a dispute until finally Jafar ushers the unenthusiastic Wheezer back to the cave entrance. WHEEZER (CONT'D) So like “dudes”, I supposed that leaves out liars, cheats, and thieves? ROCK 1 Right on, dude! ROCK 2 Right on! Thunder and rumbling are heard and strobe flashes as rocks sink back down to floor level, then disappear. JAFAR I can’t believe this! I’m never going to get that lamp! WHEEZER So what are we going to do now, boss. We’ve got a big problem... Jafar has been thinking to himself, and now, without looking at Wheezer, slaps one hand over Wheezer’s mouth to shut him up, and begins reasoning things out loud to himself. JAFAR Diamond in the Rough - that can only mean one thing: a common person who has shining qualities within. I must find this Diamond in the Rough if I am ever going to get the magic lamp. Jafar starts to exit off. JAFAR (CONT'D) Come, we must return to the palace. Jafar exits, followed by Wheezer. ACT 1, SCENE 2 Curtain opens on Aladdin’s home. 5.
