  • Der Fliegende Holländer
    July 16, 2020 – Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer On this week’s Thursday Night Opera House, we’re presenting an encore broadcast of Richard Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer (“The Flying Dutchman”), hosted by the late Al Ruocchio (1937-2007). Premiered in 1843 at the Königliches Hoftheater in Dresden (nowadays known as the Semper Opera House), its central theme is redemption through love. Wagner claimed in his 1870 autobiography that he had been inspired to write the opera following a stormy sea crossing he made from Riga to London in 1839. In his 1843 Autobiographic Sketch, Wagner acknowledged he had taken the story from Heinrich Heine's retelling of the Dutchman’s legend in his 1833 satirical novel The Memoirs of Mister von Schnabelewopski. In nineteenth-century Norway, the Dutchman (bass-baritone Norman Bailey), as punishment for having uttered a blasphemy, has been condemned to sail the seas forever, unless redeemed by the love of a woman faithful unto death. Allowed to come ashore once every seven years in search of such a woman, he lands in Norway and meets Daland (bass Martti Talvela), an old sea captain who, seduced by the Dutchman’s wealth, suggests marriage to his daughter Senta (soprano Janis Martin). Senta, loved by the simple huntsman Erik (tenor René Kollo), has long been obsessed with the legend of the Dutchman, and falls in love with him immediately. The Dutchman overhears her begging Erik to understand her feelings, mistakenly thinks her unfaithful and, distraught, immediately sails away. Senta throws herself off a cliff, calling to the Dutchman that she has been faithful to death.

Firstly, my thanks to my academic supervisor, Mr. Tony Bennett (University of Sheffield) for his support and advice. I would also like to thank Professor Eric Clarke (University of Sheffield) for suggestingstandard deviation as the most suitable method for the statistical calculation of tessitura, and Dr. John Powell (University of Nottingham) and Mr. Luke Jobling BSc for confirming the scientific validity of the final statistical formula. i Elizabeth J.

Holland Purcell and the Srventeen th-Century Voic c An Inv estigation of Singers and Voice Ty pes in H!cnry Purc ell's Voca l Music0 Abstract This thesis uses the study of Henry Purcell"s vocal music to establish the vocal characteristics of the singers and voice types for whom the composer wrote in London in the seventeenthcentury. This process is begun in the first chapter by discussing 'The Counter-Tenor Debate' in order to establish the method(s) of vocal production used by Purcell's counter-tenors. This in turn addressesthe issue of whether the counter-tenor was a completely different voice type from the tenor, or if they were simply high and low subdivisions of the same voice type.

  • Monteverdi's Orfeo As Artistic Creed
    Ars Polemica: Monteverdi’s Orfeo as artistic creed Uri Golomb Published in Goldberg: Early Music Magazine 45 (April 2007): 44-57. The story of Orpheus is the ultimate test for any musician’s skill. By choosing to set this myth to music, composers declare themselves capable of creating music that would credibly seem to melt the hearts of beasts, humans and gods. They also reveal which style of musical writing is best suited, in their view, for expressing the most intense emotions. Three of the earliest operas are based on this myth. There is, however, a crucial difference between Ottavio Rinuccini’s Euridice, which served as libretto for two operas (by Jacopo Peri in 1600, and by Giulio Caccini in 1602), and Alessandro Striggio’s Orfeo, the libretto for Claudio Monteverdi’s first opera (1607). In the Prologue that opens Rinuccini’s opera, the Muse of Tragedy sings the virtues of pastoral dramas with happy endings. In Striggio’s Prologue, La Musica proclaims her powers to move human souls. In both cases, the prologues set the tone for the remainder of the drama: music and its power are much more central in Striggio’s libretto than they are in Rinuccini’s. Striggio’s emphasis fitted well with Monteverdi’s own philosophy. At the time of Orfeo, the composer was participating in a heated debate on the nature and power of music. He did so concisely and reluctantly, promising a theoretical treatise and then failing to deliver. His theoretical statements, then and later, are complemented by his settings of several texts that focus on music, its style and its powers, Orfeo being the most ambitious.
