  • Intertextuality, Intermediality and Mediality in Benjamin Britten's
    Intertextuality, Intermediality and Mediality in Benjamin Britten’s Nocturne, Op. 60 Von der Falkutät für Geistes- und Erziehungswissenschaften der Technischen Universität Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig zur Erlangung des Grades Doktor der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) genehmigte Dissertation von Kenton Emery Barnes aus Toledo, Ohio, USA Eingereicht am 11.06.2012 Mündliche Prüfung am 28.08.2012 Referent: Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Heinze Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Hero Janßen Druckjahr 2017 Intertextualität, Intermedialität und Medialität in Benjamin Brittens Nocturne, Op. 60 Benjamin Britten ist nicht nur einer der am meisten verehrten Komponisten Großbritanniens, sondern zugleich auch einer der Komponisten, über die äußerst kontrovers diskutiert wird. Kritiker bewerten seine Musik auf sehr unterschiedliche Art und Weise. Einige halten seine Musik für zu altmodisch und zu sehr den Traditionen der Tonalität verbunden, andere bewerten sie als zu modern und schwer zugänglich, an Atonalität grenzend. Aber wie soll man Brittens Musik betrachten? Setzt sie die Traditionen der romantischen Komponisten des 19. Jahrhunderts fort? Ja, dies ist der Fall, jedoch bringt Britten diese Konventionen an ihre Grenzen. Ist Brittens Musik atonal? Obwohl manche Kritiker der Ansicht sind, dass seine Kompositionen abstrakt sind, bleibt er den etablierten Konventionen der Musik doch treu. Nicht zu bestreiten ist, dass Brittens gesangliche Kompositionen in ihrer Poesie nur schwer zu übertreffen sind. Er vertonte Gedichte von bedeutenden Dichtern wie Arthur Rimbaud, Victor Hugo, Paul Verlaine, Henry Longfellow, William Shakespare, Edith Sitwell, Emily Brontë und William Blake. Alles in allem vertonte Britten mehr als 300 Gedichte von nicht weniger als neunzig Dichtern.

Proposing a third term that operates beyond the dichotomy of high culture and mass culture and yet offers a fresh approach to both, these essays address a multitude of different topics that can all be classified as unpopular culture. From David Foster Wallace and Ernest Hemingway to Zane Grey, from Christian rock and country to clack cetal, from Steven Seagal to Genesis (Breyer) P-Orridge, from K-pop to The Real Housewives, from natural disasters to 9/11, from thesis hatements to professional sports, these essays find the unpopular across media and genres, and they analyze the politics and the aesthetics of an unpopular culture (and the unpopular in culture) that has not been duly recognized as such by the theories and methods of cultural studies. Martin Lüthe is an associate professor in North American Cultural Studies at the John F. Kennedy-Institute at Freie Universität Berlin.

  • Collective Soul
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 3, 2008 BOULEVARD CASINO & RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENT COLLECTIVE SOUL FRIDAY, MARCH 13 – RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE SATURDAY, MARCH 14 – RIVER ROCK SHOW THEATRE Collective Soul, taken from a line in Ayn Rand's book, “The Fountainhead,” were formed in the small town of Stockbridge, Georgia in the early 90’s by principal songwriter Ed Roland (lead vocals/keyboards/guitars), guitarists Dean Roland and Joel Kosche, rhythm section Will Turpin (bass/percussion) and Shane Evans (drums/percussion). Released in 1993 on the Atlanta indie label Rising Storm, Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid proved popular enough on the local level that it was picked up the following year by Atlantic Records. They then released the eponymous sophomore effort which featured the hits "World I Know" and "December" once again going multi- platinum. In 2000, they released Blender which included “Perfect Day,” a duet with Elton John. The group returned to their roots in 2004 releasing the stripped-down and dynamic Youth on its own El Music Group imprint. It was also during this time that they welcomed new guitar player Joel Kosche and drummer Ryan Hoyle. The band’s eighth studio album, Afterwords which was released in 2007 and features the singles "Hollywood” and “All That I Know” is going to be re-released on December 9th to all retail and digital outlets … the album was originally released via exclusive deals with Target and iTunes. The brand new edition includes for the very first time three solo songs by Roland. Currently they have a song titled “Tremble For My Beloved” featured in the new blockbuster film, Twilight as well as on the accompanying chart topping soundtrack.

  • Collective Soul's Ed Roland
    COLLECTIVE SOUL’S ED ROLAND: More Rock, More Riffs, More Fun IT’S BEEN MORE THAN 15 YEARS SINCE COLLECTIVE SOUL wowed the music world with Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid , a debut that spawned multiple hit singles, including the modern rock classic “Shine.” Now the band is back in the studio completing their eighth album, Rabbit, and Ed Roland, the band’s singer and principal songwriter, promises it will resonate with fans of their breakthrough disc. “We tour a lot, and that guitar has really hung in there. It's, like, my little baby blue!” “Our longtime fans will really appreciate it,” says Ed. “It was fun experimenting with loops and things like that on our last few albums, and I appreciated the guys letting me explore the ‘80s influences I grew up on. But now we’re going back to the basics. The sound is more basic. More rock. More riffs.” Ed, who plays guitar and piano, caught the songwriter bug early on. “I’m from a small town in Georgia. My dad was the town minister, but he was pretty hip. He took me to my first concert: Johnny Cash. He took me to everything from Liberace to the Kinks. He was very supportive of my music and always wanted me to do what I loved.” 12 13 One life-changing inspiration was Elton John’s Greatest Hits . “Elton looked so cool with his white hat and white suit,” Roland recalls. “As soon as I put that record on, I wanted to be a songwriter like Elton and Bernie Taupin.
