JUDD, Assistant Manager 1233 "UHE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS Q OMETIMES people who want a Steinway think it economi- cal to buy a cheaper piano in the beginning and wait for a Steinway. Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt and convenience a Steinway can at his Steinway be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!" You may purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of 10%, and the bal- ance will be extended over a period of two years. 'Prices: $875 and up Convenient terms. Used pianos taken in exchange.

Beach 6964 123S Overture to "Coriolanus," Op. 62 . Ludwig van Beethoven (Born at Bonn. December 16 (?), 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827.) The original manuscript of the overture bears this inscription: •'Overturn (zum Trauerspiel Coriolan) composta da L. v. Beethoven, 1807." The words in parentheses are crossed out. The overture was published in 1808 : "Ouverture de Coriolan, Tragedie de M. de Collin, etc., composee et dediee a Monsieur de Collin, etc." The other compositions of 1807 were the first Mass in C, the overture to "Leonore-Fidelio," No. 1, which was published as Op. 138, the Fifth Symphony, the ariette, "In questa tomba," the violin concerto changed into a pianoforte concerto, and probably the violoncello sonata, Op. G9. The tragedy by Heinrich Joseph von Collin* was produced Novem- ber 24, 1802, with entr'actes arranged from Mozart's music to "Idomeneo" by the Abbe Stadler. It was afterwards revived with Lange as the hero and played often until March 3, 1805. From that date to the end of October, 1809, there was only one performance of the tragedy, and that was on April 24, 1807. Thayer concludes Collin (1771—1811) was jurist and poet. In 1S03 he was ennobled; in 1809 he became Court Councillor. Other tragedies by him were "Regulas," "Polyxena." Beet- hoven in 1807 was expecting a libretto from him. Collin tried "Macbeth," Tasso's "Jerusalem Delivered," and a "Bradamante" to which J. F. Reichardt set music (Vienna, 180S).

These concerts were at the palace of Prince Lobkowitz in Vienna, and only piece; by Beethoven were performed, the first four symphonies, the "Corio lanus" overture, a pianoforte concerto, and airs from "Fidelio.' The overture was criticised most favorably in the Journal des Lu.ru und der Moden and Cotta's Morgenilatt as a "new work." A cor respondent of the Allgemeine Musik Zeitung wrote, "Accordinj to the inscription, the overture was intended for Collin's 'Corio lanus.' Thayer adds : "How nobly Beethoven comprehended the characte: of Coriolanus has long been known ; but how wonderfully the over ture fits in the play can be judged properly only by those who havi read Collin's nearly forgotten play," and he says in a footnote "The author, from boyhood a reader of Shakespeare's 'Coriolanus. remembers well the dissatisfaction he experienced when he firs heard Beethoven's overture; it did not seem to him to fit the sub ject. When he read Collin's play, his discontent turned into wonder.' Beethoven knew the Coriolanus presented by Plutarch as well ai the Coriolanus of Shakespeare and Collin. One might say that tk< character of Coriolanus was in certain ways sympathetic to him and some may wonder at Thayer's dissatisfaction.

  • Experiencing Music in the North German Enlightenment
    SENSITIVITY, INSPIRATION, AND RATIONAL AESTHETICS: EXPERIENCING MUSIC IN THE NORTH GERMAN ENLIGHTENMENT Kimary E. Fick, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY University of North Texas December 2015 APPROVED: Hendrik Schulze, Major Professor Peter Mondelli, Committee Member Christoph Weber, Committee Member Paul Leenhouts, Related Field Committee Member and Director of Early Music Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies, College of Music James Scott, Dean of College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of Toulouse Graduate School Fick, Kimary E. Sensitivity, Inspiration, and Rational Aesthetics: Experiencing Music in the North German Enlightenment. Doctor of Philosophy (Musicology), December 2015, 295 pp., 2 tables, 3 figures, 19 musical examples, references, 166 titles. This dissertation examines pre-Kantian rational philosophy and the development of the discipline of aesthetics in the North German Enlightenment. With emphasis on the historical conception of the physiological and psychological experience of music, this project determines the function of music both privately and socially in the eighteenth century. As a result, I identify the era of rational aesthetics (ca.1750-1800) as a music-historical period unified by the aesthetic function and metaphysical experience of music, which inform the underlying motivation for musical styles, genres, and means of expression, leading to a more meaningful and compelling historical periodization. The philosophy of Alexander Baumgarten, Johann Georg Sulzer, and others enable definitions of the experience of beautiful objects and those concepts related to music composition, listening, and taste, and determine how rational aesthetics impacted the practice, function, and ultimately the prevailing style of music in the era.

The Early Medieval Music (500-1150). i. Early chant traditions Chant (or plainsong) is a monophonic sacred form which represents the earliest known music of the Christian Church. The simplest, syllabic chants, in which each syllable is set to one note, were probably intended to be sung by the choir or congregation, while the more florid, melismatic examples (which have many notes to each syllable) were probably performed by soloists. Plainchant melodies (which are sometimes referred to as a “drown,” are characterized by the following: A monophonic texture; For ease of singing, relatively conjunct melodic contour (meaning no large intervals between one note and the next) and a restricted range (no notes too high or too low); and Rhythms based strictly on the articulation of the word being sung (meaning no steady dancelike beats). Chant developed separately in several European centers, the most important being Rome, Hispania, Gaul, Milan and Ireland. Chant was developed to support the regional liturgies used when celebrating Mass. Each area developed its own chant and rules for celebration. In Spain and Portugal, Mozarabic chant was used, showing the influence of North Afgican music. The Mozarabic liturgy survived through Muslim rule, though this was an isolated strand and was later suppressed in an attempt to enforce conformity on the entire liturgy.

More than a century later, we continue to build and expand on this vision. Today, The Royal Conservatory is recognized in communities across North America for outstanding service to students, teachers, and parents, as well as strict adherence to high academic standards through a variety of activities—teaching, examining, publishing, research, and community outreach. Our students and teachers benefit from a curriculum based on more than 125 years of commitment to the highest pedagogical objectives. The strength of the curriculum is reinforced by the distinguished College of Examiners—a group of fine musicians and teachers who have been carefully selected from across Canada, the United States, and abroad for their demonstrated skill and professionalism. A rigorous examiner apprenticeship program, combined with regular evaluation procedures, ensures consistency and an examination experience of the highest quality for candidates. As you pursue your studies or teach others, you become not only an important partner with The Royal Conservatory in the development of creativity, discipline, and goal- setting, but also an active participant, experiencing the transcendent qualities of music itself. In a society where our day-to-day lives can become rote and routine, the human need to find self-fulfillment and to engage in creative activity has never been more necessary.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.

Burkhardt Reiter iii SYMMETRY AND NARRATIVE IN CHRISTOPHER ROUSE’S TROMBONE CONCERTO WITH WHITE SPACE WAITING (AN ORIGINAL COMPOSITION FOR CHAMBER ORCHESTRA) R. Burkhardt Reiter, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 The analytic component of my dissertation, “Symmetry and Narrative in Christopher Rouse’s Trombone Concerto,” illuminates the ways in which the concerto creates a musical metaphor of tragedy. To help frame my discussion of the Trombone Concerto’s narrative elements (which include Rouse’s self-referential quotation to his own Symphony No.1 and a quotation of Leonard Bernstein’s “Kaddish” Symphony No.3) I draw on Northrop Frye’s classification of tragedy as a narrative archetype. In order to illuminate the narrative functions of the two quotations and other motivic elements, I examine (with voice-leading and structural analysis) how the work’s prevailing formal and harmonic symmetry provides the narrative context for its musical expectations. The tragedy of the concerto is realized when the harmonic expectation created by the Bernstein quotation is disrupted by the return of the composition’s opening harmony and motivic gesture.
