Es war an einem heißen Junitag – die lähmende Stille einer hoch- sommerlichen Siesta lag über dem kleinen Städtchen, nur die Bienen summten emsig um die Linde und ja Giuseppe Verdi war allgegenwärtig, nicht nur in Stein gemeißelt, in Bronze gegossen, im Theater oder Museen, nein in der Luft, in der Wärme, der Stille, in jeder Ritze war sein Geist zu spüren, war seine Musik imaginär zu hören.(0‟45) Musik 1 Giuseppe Verdi: Ouvertüre zur Oper „Attila“ Wiener Philharmoniker / Giuseppe Sinopoli M0019983 003, 3‘25 Ouvertüre zu „Attila“, eine frühe Verdi Oper, die zweite, die er für Venedig geschrieben hat. Giuseppe Sinopoli leitete die Wiener Philharmoniker. In dem kleinen Dorf Le Roncole, das heute zu Busseto gehört, ist Verdi laut französisch-sprachiger Geburtsurkunde, am 10. Oktober 1813, abends um 8 Uhr zur Welt gekommen. Französisch deswegen, weil Busseto damals zum Departement Taro gehörte und damit direkt Frankreich angeschlossen 2 3 war. Vielleicht ist Verdi auch schon einen Tag zuvor geboren, am 9. Oktober, man weiß es nicht genau. Auf jeden Fall sollen in der väterlichen Schenke Straßenmusikanten zur Feier des Heiligen Donnino gespielt haben. Mit dem ersten Atemzug ist Verdi von Musik umgeben.

  • A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE of UNFOLDING SELF THROUGH SINGING Douglas Schneider, M.D
    Report A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF UNFOLDING SELF THROUGH SINGING Douglas Schneider, M.D. ABSTRACT The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is linked to the Unconscious, a relationship which has been therapeutically addressed with autogenic training, sometimes leading to transcendent experi­ ences. The ANS is also involved in stored traumatic experiences and must be addressed for the release of stored trauma. Bodily storage of trauma can also involve the vocal apparatus. This report briefly describes a pedagogy of singing that involves the ANS and that lead this writer into an unexpected transcendent experience of self. KEYWORDS: Autonomic nervous system, vocal, singing Subtle Energies 6- Energy Medicine • Volume 16 • Number 3 • Page 219 he autonomic nervous system (ANS), with its balanced sympathetic and parasympathic aspects, has become a fascinating topic for me ever T since encountering the work of Elmer and Alyce Green in autogenic trammg and intentional self-regulation of the ANS.l Their findings were counter to what I had learned in medical school, namely, that the ANS is unconscious and involuntary. Later I met Robert Scaer, M.D., and after reading his first book, came to appreciate the role of the ANS in stored traumatic experience. 2 Most recently I have learned of a relationship between the ANS and the act of singing, particularly a certain kind of singing, which was a surprise discovery for me this past spring. One of my interests is the study of singing. I work with a voice teacher named Richard Conrad who early in his career recorded with Joan Sutherland, Marilyn Horne, and Richard Bonynge.3 In mid-career Richard's voice was severely injured in a mugging incident.

Una versione troppo “one woman show” in cui la Sutherland non fa percepire una sola consonante Giudizio complessivo: BUONO Ora, bisogna che ci caliamo nel periodo: nel 1962 questa era più o meno la prima registrazione veramente disponibile di un’opera lirica di Haendel in genere e di questa in particolare (ce n’è una anche del 1959, sempre con Dame Joan diretta da Leitner, e con Wunderlich), ma questa – per il milieu, l’eccellenza del cast messo in campo, la credibilità di Bonynge che si faceva garante del tutto – divenne una pietra miliare del repertorio barocco; e come tale viene ancora vista da alcuni nostalgici. La registrazione, tagliatissima, nasce intorno alle possenti spalle di Joan Sutherland, che tutto vuole e tutto fa, a cominciare ovviamente dall’appropriazione indebita di “Tornami a vagheggiar” che, a regola di spartito, sarebbe toccata a Graziella Sciutti, Morgana, che mi sarebbe piaciuto ascoltare in questo meraviglioso brano.
