A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times.

  • L'autorité, 5 Octobre 1895, Pp
    JOURNAL DES JEUNES PERSONNES, mai 1862, pp. 195–198. Notre directrice veut, mesdemoiselles, que je vous dise quelques mots du célèbre musicien que la France vient de perdre. La chose n’est pas aisée, et notre directrice le sait bien, car il s’agit de faire un choix entre des œuvres, des faits et des aventures qui se rapportent à une carrière presqu’entièrement consacrée au théâtre. Mais on peut se borner à vous faire apprécier Halévy comme compositeur, comme homme et comme secrétaire perpétuel de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts. C’est ce que je vais essayer de faire; je ne dirai que l’essentiel. Heureux si, grâce à mon sujet, je parviens à vous intéresser! Jacques François-Fromental-Élie Halévy naquit à Paris, le 27 mai 1799, d’une famille israélite, et donna de bonne heure des marques d’une intelligence précoce. Il n’avait pas encore atteint l’âge de dix ans qu’il entra, le 30 janvier 1809, au Conservatoire, dans la classe de solfége de M. Cazot. L’année suivante, il eut pour maître de piano M. Charles Lambert. En 1811, il prit des leçons d’harmonie de Berton; après quoi il travailla pendant cinq ans le contre-point sous la direction de Cherubini, dont il devint l’élève de prédilection. Après dix années d’études musicales assidues et persévérantes, Halévy concourut pour le grand prix de Rome; ce fut à sa cantate d’Herminie qu’il dut le titre de lauréat. Toutefois, il ne partit pas immédiatement pour l’Italie. Il resta à Paris pour mettre en musique le texte hébreu du psaume De profundis, destiné à être chanté dans les synagogues à l’occasion de la mort du duc de Berry, et pour écrire la partition d’un grand opéra intitulé les Bohémiennes qui ne fut point représenté.

  • 122 a Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. Music Is As Old As The
    122 A Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. A CENTURY OF GRAND OPERA IN PHILADELPHIA. A Historical Summary read before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Monday Evening, January 12, 1920. BY JOHN CURTIS. Music is as old as the world itself; the Drama dates from before the Christian era. Combined in the form of Grand Opera as we know it today they delighted the Florentines in the sixteenth century, when Peri gave "Dafne" to the world, although the ancient Greeks listened to great choruses as incidents of their comedies and tragedies. Started by Peri, opera gradually found its way to France, Germany, and through Europe. It was the last form of entertainment to cross the At- lantic to the new world, and while some works of the great old-time composers were heard in New York, Charleston and New Orleans in the eighteenth century, Philadelphia did not experience the pleasure until 1818 was drawing to a close, and so this city rounded out its first century of Grand Opera a little more than a year ago. But it was a century full of interest and incident. In those hundred years Philadelphia heard 276 different Grand Operas. Thirty of these were first heard in America on a Philadelphia stage, and fourteen had their first presentation on any stage in this city. There were times when half a dozen travelling companies bid for our patronage each season; now we have one. One year Mr. Hinrichs gave us seven solid months of opera, with seven performances weekly; now we are permitted to attend sixteen performances a year, unless some wandering organization cares to take a chance with us.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES FRACTURED POLITICS: DIPLOMACY, MARRIAGE, AND THE LAST PHASE OF THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR ARIEL WEBER SPRING 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Medieval Studies with honors in Medieval Studies Reviewed and approved* by the following: Benjamin T. Hudson Professor of History and Medieval Studies Thesis Supervisor/Honors Adviser Robert Edwards Professor of English and Comparative Literature Thesis Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The beginning of the Hundred Years War came about from relentless conflict between France and England, with roots that can be traced the whole way to the 11th century, following the Norman invasion of England. These periods of engagement were the result of English nobles both living in and possessing land in northwest France. In their efforts to prevent further bloodshed, the monarchs began to engage in marriage diplomacy; by sending a young princess to a rival country, the hope would be that her native people would be unwilling to wage war on a royal family that carried their own blood. While this method temporarily succeeded, the tradition would create serious issues of inheritance, and the beginning of the last phase of the Hundred Years War, and the last act of success on the part of the English, the Treaty of Troyes, is the culmination of the efforts of the French kings of the early 14th century to pacify their English neighbors, cousins, and nephews. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 Plantagenet Claim to France...................................................................................

  • Resituating Transatlantic Opera: the Case of the Théâtre D'orléans, New
    Resituating Transatlantic Opera: The Case of the Théâtre d’Orléans, New Orleans, 1819–1859 Charlotte Alice Bentley Emmanuel College October 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT This thesis examines the production and reception of French opera in New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, through a focus on the city’s principal French-language theatre from 1819 to 1859, the Théâtre d’Orléans. Building on the small body of existing scholarship concerning the theatre’s history and repertoire, here I draw upon a greatly expanded range of sources—including court cases, sheet music, and novels—in order to understand more about the ways in which operatic culture shaped and was shaped by city life in this period. New Orleans’s operatic life relied on transatlantic networks of people and materials in order to thrive, and this thesis explores the city’s place within growing global operatic systems in the nineteenth century. The five chapters each reflect on different aspects of operatic translocation and its significance for New Orleans. The first two argue for the centrality of human agency to the development of transatlantic networks of production and performance by examining the management of the theatre and the international movement of singers in turn. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of French grand opéra on New Orleans, arguing that the genre provided a focus for the negotiation of local, national, and international identities among opposing critical (and linguistic) factions within the city, while also providing an impetus for the development of a material culture of opera.

    Copyright by Brian James Watson 2005 The Treatise Committee for Brian James Watson certifies that this is the approved version of the following treatise: Wagner’s Heldentenors: Uncovering the Myths Committee: K. M. Knittel, Supervisor William Lewis, Co-Supervisor Rose A. Taylor Michael C. Tusa John Weinstock Darlene Wiley Wagner’s Heldentenors: Uncovering the Myths by Brian James Watson, B.A., M.M. Treatise Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts The University of Texas at Austin August 2005 Acknowledgements This treatise would not have been possible without the assistance and encouragement of several people whom I would like to thank. First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. K. M. Knittel for her careful supervision. Her advice and guidance helped shape this project and I am very grateful for her participation. I would also like to thank my co-supervisor, William Lewis, whose encouragement has been instrumental to my academic career. His singing helped stir my interest in Heldentenors. I am also grateful for the support of Darlene Wiley. Without her, my knowledge of vocal pedagogy would be quite limited. Rose Taylor should also be thanked for her positive attitude and encouragement. The other members of my committee should also be recognized. I want to thank Dr. Michael C. Tusa, for his participation on this committee and for his assistance in finding sources, and Dr. John Weinstock, for being a part of this committee. I would be remiss if I did not also thank my family, primarily my father for his understanding and sympathy.

  • La Dernière Reine De Gaetano Donizetti Caterina Cornaro
    La dernière Reine de Gaetano Donizetti Caterina Cornaro « Une fois que j’aurai vu Caterina Cornaro sur scène, alors je puis mourir. », déclarait un Suisse passionné de Donizetti au point d’acheter un appartement à Bergame !... C'est dire combien pouvait intriguer un opéra tellement beau, mais peu repris depuis sa redécouverte en 1972. Dernier ouvrage créé du vivant de Donizetti, mais composé curieusement en chassé-croisé avec Don Pasquale et Maria di Rohan, Caterina Cornaro offre néanmoins une remarquable unité de couleur, étonnante de poésie donizettienne au plus haut degré de son inspiration. L'occasion de son entrée au Royal Concertgebouw d'Amsterdam est également celle de confirmer une certitude : il s'agit bien de l'un des derniers chefs-d'oeuvre du Maestro Bergamasco. Un dossier de Yonel Buldrini Avril 2010 « Quand le sujet plaît, le coeur parle, la tête vole, la main écrit.... » Gaetano Donizetti, à l’époque où il composait simultanément Don Pasquale et Caterina Cornaro La Regina di Cipro entre Don Pasquale et Maria di Rohan Dans notre précédente étude, consacrée à Dom Sébastien, dernier opéra de Gaetano Donizetti, nous dessinions l’étonnante situation du compositeur en ces années 1842-44, fébrilement engagé entre Vienne, en tant que Compositeur de la Cour impériale et directeur des saisons musicales, et Paris, où il réussissait, au gran dam de Berlioz, à donner simultanément quatre opéras dans quatre théâtres différents ! Pour connaître la naissance de l’opéra qui nous occupe pour l’heure, la belle Caterina Cornaro, il nous faut le rattraper à l’un de ses retours à Paris, durant le mois de septembre 1842.
