Doctoral Dissertations. 580. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/580 ABSTRACT The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias Joshua Michael May University of Connecticut, 2014 W. A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice.

  • Interpretation of Mozart Concertos with an Historical View
    Kurs: CA 1004 30 hp 2018 Master in Music 120 ECTS Institutionen för Klassisk musik Handledare: Katarina Ström-Harg Examinator: Ronny Lindeborg Mónica Berenguer Caro Interpretation of Mozart concertos with an historical view 1 Preface The basis of this research originally came from my passion for my instrument. I started to think about the importance of Mozart's concertos about 4 years ago, when I began taking orchestra auditions and competitions. A horn player will perform Mozart concertos through his entire musical career, so I think it is necessary to know more about them. I hope to contribute to knowledge for new and future students and I hope that they will be able to access to the content of my thesis whenever they need it. In fact, I may have not achieved my current level of success without a strong support group. First, my parents, who have supported me with love and understanding. Secondly there are my teachers, Katarina Ström-Harg and Annamia Larsson, each of whom has provided patient advices and guidance throughout the research process. Thank you all for your unwavering support. 2 Abstract This thesis is an historical, technical and stylistic investigation of Mozart horn concertos. It includes a description of Mozart’s life; the moment in his life where the concertos were developed. It contains information about Ignaz Leitgeb, the horn player who has a close friendship with Mozart. Also, the explanation of his technical characteristics of the natural horn and the way of Mozart deal with the resources and limitations of this instrument, as well as the way of the interpretation of these pieces had been facilitated by the arrival of the chromatic horn.

  • Il Teatro Significa Vivere Sul Serio Quello Che Gli Altri Nella Vita Recitano Male.”1
    1 Introduction “Il teatro significa vivere sul serio quello che gli altri nella vita recitano male.”1 Many years ago a young boy sat with his friend, the son of a lawyer, in the Corte Minorile of Naples, watching as petty criminals about his age were being judged for their offenses. One ragged pick-pocket who had been found guilty demanded to be led away after being sentenced; instead he was left there and his loud pleas were completely disregarded. Unwilling to tolerate this final offense of being treated as though he were invisible, the juvenile delinquent, in an extreme act of rebellion, began smashing the chains around his hands against his own head until his face was a mask of blood. Horrified, the judge finally ordered everybody out of the court. That young boy sitting in court watching the gruesome scene was Eduardo De Filippo and the sense of helplessness and social injustice witnessed left an indelible mark on the impressionable mind of the future playwright. Almost sixty years later, at the Accademia dei Lincei, as he accepted the Premio Internazionale Feltrinelli, one of Italy’s highest literary accolades, De Filippo recalled how it was that this early image of the individual pitted against society was always at the basis of his work: Alla base del mio teatro c’è sempre il conflitto fra individuo e società […] tutto ha inizio, sempre, da uno stimolo emotivo: reazione a un’ingiustizia, sdegno per l’ipocrisia mia e altrui, solidarietà e simpatia umana per una persona o un gruppo di persone, ribellione contro leggi superate e anacronistiche con il mondo di oggi, sgomento di fronte a fatti che, come le guerre, sconvolgono la vita dei popoli.2 The purpose of this thesis is twofold: to provide for the first time a translation of Eduardo’s last play, Gli esami non finiscono mai (Exams Never End), and to trace the development of his dramatic style and philosophy in order to appreciate their culmination 1 Enzo Biagi, “Eduardo, tragico anche se ride,” Corriere della Sera , 6 March 1977.

The final movement draws on previous limited serialist techniques to illustrate each song, themes to conclude the piece with mounting excitement.
