Sendak's and Knussen's Intended Audiences of Where the Wild Things Are and Higglety Pigglety Pop!
CREATIVE DIFFERENCES: SENDAK’S AND KNUSSEN’S INTENDED AUDIENCES OF WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE AND HIGGLETY PIGGLETY POP! by Leah Giselle Field M.Mus., University of Western Ontario, 2008 B.Mus., The University of British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2015 © Leah Giselle Field, 2015 Abstract Author and illustrator Maurice Sendak and composer Oliver Knussen collaborated on two one- act operas based on Sendak’s picture books Where the Wild Things Are and Higglety Pigglety Pop! or There Must Be More to Life. Though they are often programmed as children’s operas, Sendak and Knussen labeled the works fantasy operas, but have provided little commentary on any distinction between these labels. Through examination of their notes and commentary on the operas, published reviews and analysis of the operas, e-mail interviews conducted with operatic administrators and composers of children’s operas, and my analysis of the two works I intend to show that Sendak and Knussen had different target audiences in mind as they created these works. ii Preface This dissertation is an original intellectual product of the author, Leah Giselle Field, with the guidance of professors Dr. Alexander J. Fisher and Nancy Hermiston. The e-mail interviews discussed in Chapter II were covered by UBC Behavioral Research Board of Ethics Certificate number H12-03199 under the supervision of Principal Investigator Dr. Alexander J. Fisher. iii Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................... -

Maurice Sendak & Other Books for Adults
Pryor-Johnson Rare Books Brook ly n Antiquarian Book Fair 7–8 September 2019 Maurice Sendak & Other Books for Adults In 2012, Maurice Sendak became internet-famous. He was, of course, already in-real-life-famous; from the publication of Where the Wild Things Are in 1963, he was known as one of the great au- thor-illustrators, in the tradition of Edward Lear and setting the stage for Eric Carle. Yet it wasn’t until an interview with Stephen Colbert, the alter ego of Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report (cole- BARE ruh-PORE) that adults who had perhaps forgotten the great man remembered him again. Colbert, needling Sendak in his Connecticut home, asks him: “Why write for children?” Sendak volleys back: I don’t write for children. [You don’t?] No. I write. And somebody says: “that’s for children!” With these words, Sendak sets to rights a silly niggling distinction in books “for children” and those that are not. The hand-wringing breeds terms such as “graphic novel” to make illustrated books “acceptable” for adults to read. Sendak asks us — always in his quiet way subverting — why the fuss? With this catalogue we celebrate Sendak’s work and the perfect good sense he made so much of the time. The first half spans nearly the entirety of his career, from A Hole Is To Dig (with Ruth Krauss, 1952) through to his first and only pop-up bookMommy? in 2006. Along the way we have an exceptionally rare page-proof of Where the Wild Things Are, a large dossier of publication and adver- tising materials for Outside Over There (which Sendak considered his finest work) and his two major retrospectives, edited by Selma Lanes (1980) and by Tony Kushner (2003). -
