    Messa per Rossini L'oeuvre oubliée... 13 novembre 2018 30 ans Un événement exceptionnel pour fêter les 30 ans du chœur ! 1792 – 1868 Pour le 150è anniversaire de la disparition du maître, le chœur Arianna présente pour la première fois dans notre région une œuvre du Répertoire Romantique majeure et pourtant oubliée : Messa per Rossini composée en 1868-69 par Antonio Antonio Carlo Antonio Federico Alessandro BUZZOLA BAZZINI PEDROTTI CAGNONI RICCI NINI Requiem – Kyrie Dies irae Tuba mirum Quid sum miser Recordare Jesu Ingemisco Raimondo Carlo Gaetano Pietro Lauro Teodulo Giuseppe BOUCHERON COCCIA GASPARI PLATANIA ROSSI MABELLINI VERDI Confutatis – Oro supplex Lacrymosa Domine Jesu Sanctus Agnus Dei Lux æterna Libera me 13 novembre 1868, l'Europe musicale est sous le choc : Rossini est mort ! Les hommages pleuvent de toutes parts : compositeurs, musiciens, politiciens ou simples mélomanes, aucun ne trouve assez de mots pour exprimer son désarroi face à cette perte immense. Il est vrai que, de son vivant même, Gioacchino Rossini est devenu une légende, lui qui, après avoir composé des chefs-d'œuvres immortels, dont plus de trente opéras, a décidé, dès 1830, de se retirer en n'écrivant plus que pour ses amis. Cette longue « retraite » voit naître tout de même des œuvres extrêmement célèbres telles que le Stabat Mater (1841) ou la Petite Messe Solennelle (1864). L'Italie est en deuil Verdi souhaite un hommage au maître digne de son talent, de son génie. Non pas un simple concert hommage ou des discours... Il faut une œuvre monumentale qui rappelle au monde, aux générations futures, à quel point Rossini était immense.

  • Thoughts on Diegetic Music in the Early Operas of Zandonai1
    DAVID ROSEN THOUGHTS ON DIEGETIC MUSIC IN THE EARLY OPERAS OF ZANDONAI1 Diegetic music – «music that (apparently) issues from a source within the narrative» (Gorbman, 23)2 – plays an important role in Zandonai’s early operas: not only does it appear frequently, but it often pushes the action forward, eliciting responses from the characters who hear it. And some of its uses are unusual, if not unprecedented. In this essay I focus on Il grillo del focolare but make cross-references to diegetic music in L’uccellino d’oro, Conchita, and Melenis as well. Readers unfamiliar with these operas may want to consult plot summaries, for example, in Dryden (469-79). Table 1 lists the passages referred to in this essay. 1 I want to express my thanks to the Centro internazionale di studi «Riccardo Zan- donai», especially to Diego Cescotti, Irene Comisso, and Federica Fortunato for assistance of all sorts before, during, and after the conference. Thanks go also to Gary Moulsdale for his comments on an earlier version of this text, to Ann Beck- man and other friends on WM-L (my favorite online opera discussion group) for answering some questions about precedents for certain uses of diegetic music, and to Carol Rosen for having translated into Italian the version of this essay that I delivered at the conference. 2 Citations refer to the Selective Bibliography at the end of this essay. The category ‘diegetic music’ thus includes both ‘musica in scena’ and ‘musica di scena’ (for the distinction see, for example, Girardi, 101-102). That is, it may include music emanating from offstage (whether in the wings or from the orchestra pit) or on- stage in full view of the audience.

  • Operas Performed in New York City in 2013 (Compiled by Mark Schubin)
    Operas Performed in New York City in 2013 (compiled by Mark Schubin) What is not included in this list: There are three obvious categories: anything not performed in 2013, anything not within the confines of New York City, and anything not involving singing. Empire Opera was supposed to perform Montemezzi’s L'amore dei tre re in November; it was postponed to January, so it’s not on the list. Similarly, even though Bard, Caramoor, and Peak Performances provide bus service from midtown Manhattan to their operas, even though the New York City press treats the excellent but four-hours-away-by-car Glimmerglass Festival like a local company, and even though it’s faster to get from midtown Manhattan to some performances on Long Island or in New Jersey or Westchester than to, say, Queens College, those out-of-city productions are not included on the main list (just for reference, I put Bard, Caramoor, and Peak Performances in an appendix). And, although the Parterre Box New York Opera Calendar (which includes some non-opera events) listed A Rite, a music-theatrical dance piece performed at the BAM Opera House, I didn’t because no performer in it sang. I did not include anything that wasn’t a local in-person performance. The cinema transmissions from the Met, Covent Garden, La Scala, etc., are not included (nor is the movie Metallica: Through the Never, which Owen Gleiberman in Entertainment Weekly called a “grand 3-D opera”). I did not include anything that wasn’t open to the public, so the Met’s workshop of Scott Wheeler’s The Sorrows of Frederick is not on the list.

  • Understanding the Lirico-Spinto Soprano Voice Through the Repertoire of Giovane Scuola Composers
    UNDERSTANDING THE LIRICO-SPINTO SOPRANO VOICE THROUGH THE REPERTOIRE OF GIOVANE SCUOLA COMPOSERS Youna Jang Hartgraves Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2017 APPROVED: Jeffrey Snider, Major Professor William Joyner, Committee Member Silvio De Santis, Committee Member Stephen Austin, Chair of the Division of Vocal Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Hartgraves, Youna Jang. Understanding the Lirico-Spinto Soprano Voice through the Repertoire of Giovane Scuola Composers. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2017, 53 pp., 10 tables, 6 figures, bibliography, 66 titles. As lirico-spinto soprano commonly indicates a soprano with a heavier voice than lyric soprano and a lighter voice than dramatic soprano, there are many problems in the assessment of the voice type. Lirico-spinto soprano is characterized differently by various scholars and sources offer contrasting and insufficient definitions. It is commonly understood as a pushed voice, as many interpret spingere as ‘to push.’ This dissertation shows that the meaning of spingere does not mean pushed in this context, but extended, thus making the voice type a hybrid of lyric soprano voice type that has qualities of extended temperament, timbre, color, and volume. This dissertation indicates that the lack of published anthologies on lirico-spinto soprano arias is a significant reason for the insufficient understanding of the lirico-spinto soprano voice. The post-Verdi Italian group of composers, giovane scuola, composed operas that required lirico-spinto soprano voices.

    1 ARTISTIC BIO ROSETTA CUCCHI STAGE DIRECTOR and PIANIST Address: Viale Vittoria 161 – 61121 pesaro - ITALY Mail [email protected] [email protected] Website: www.rosettacucchi.com Mob: +39 3357079196 Rosetta Cucchi studied at the ‘G. Rossini’ Conservatoire in Pesaro and DAMS (Disciplina Arte Musica e Spettacolo) University in Bologna. She graduated in Piano and Music History. Master degree at Scuola di Alto Perfezionamento pianistico di Imola. The winner of numerous piano competitions in Italy and abroad, she worked with the RAI Symphony Orchestra in Rome as a pianist and became involved in several RAI opera productions. Her career as pianist of singers like Mariella Devia or Sonia Ganassi or Juan Diego Florez has taken her for recitals to major venues such as La Scala in Milan, Santa Cecilia in Rome, Teatro Real in Madrid and the Japan Opera Foundation in Tokyo and others. Early on she took up a parallel career as director, debuting with Gardel’s IL PASSO DELL’ANIMA at Teatro Bellini in Catania and a successful production of LA SCALA DI SETA by Rossini in Teatro La Maestranza of Siviglia. Known both as inventive producer and as piano player, Rosetta Cucchi has established herself as one of the most innovative Italian opera directors of his generation. Reviewing her staging in 2004 of a unknown Opera by Walter Braunfels PRINZESSIN BRAMBILLA in Wexford Opera Festival Ireland, George Hall from Opera News has written “…The most successful of the three Wexford stagings this year was the work of Rosetta Cucchi, best known hitherto as a pianist and coach but beginning to make her way as a director.

    CENNI SULLA CRONISTORIA DEL CONSERVATORIO DI TORINO DALLE ORIGINI AL 1945 a cura di CLAUDIO MANTOVANI s 2016 © Conservatorio Statale di Musica “Giuseppe Verdi” Via Mazzini, 11 I-10123 Torino Al fondamentale e preziosissimo lavoro di ALBERTO BASSO, Il Conservatorio di musica “Giuseppe Verdi” di Torino. Storia e documenti dalle origini al 1970, Torino, Utet, 1971, cui siamo riconoscenti e totali debitori, rimandiamo per una lettura più approfondita ed esaustiva di quanto viene qui storicamente accennato. Musicologo di fama internazionale, è stato docente di Storia della Musica presso il nostro Conservatorio tra il 1961 ed il 1970, quindi nostro bibliotecario. Il Conservatorio di Torino, veduta frontale acquerello di Giovanni Ricci architetto progettista (per gentile concessione degli eredi) 3 s 4 Cronistoria ipercorrere, anche se per sommi capi, la storia del Conservatorio di Torino, significa principalmente riandare con ammirata riconoscenza a tutti gli sforzi compiuti con R coraggio e risolutezza da quegli uomini che nella musica riconobbero un possibile beneficio per l’intera comunità, nel lento e progressivo cammino per la conquista di quello spazio oggi riconosciutole universalmente come ovvio e dovuto. Ci appare molto difficile nei tempi odierni immaginare una società priva d’istituzioni finalizzate alla musica, o tiepida nei loro confronti, abituati come siamo a identificarla con la collettività e di cui risulta essere una sorta di specchio parlante; ma il percorso della nostra scuola fu lungo e fortemente tormentato, con timidi successi presto vanificati da circostanze politico militari ed economiche che ne rallentarono il percorso ma che non riuscirono a costringere alla resa chi ci ha così nobilmente preceduto.
