And soldiers, and the mothers and wives and sweethearts and children of soldiers get more of the breath of life from music than the man on the street has any notion of."—JOHN McCORMACK MUSIC is an essential of every well-regulated home. It is a factor of vital importance in the education of the children, an unending source of inspiration and recreation for the growing gener- ation, a refining, cultivating influence touching every member of the family. It is the common speech that is understood by all. that appeals to everybody, that enlists the sympathies of man, woman and child, of high and low, of young and old, in every walk of life.

Carl Maria von Weber (Born at Eutin, Oldenburg, Deoember 18, 1786; died at London, June 5, 1S26.) " Per Freischutz," a romantic opera in three acts, book by Friedrich Kind, music by Weber, was first performed at Berlin, June 18, 1S21. The cast was as follows: Agathe, Caroline Seidler; Aennchen, Johanna Eunike; Brautjungfer, Henriette Reinwald; Max. Heinrich Stumer; Ottaker, Gottlieb Rebenstein; Kuno, Carl Wauer; Caspar, Heinrich Blume; Fremit, Georg Gern; Kilian, August Wiedemann; Samiel, Hillebrand. It was the first opera performed in the new theatre, Schauspielhaus, erected by Schinkel in 1819-21, to replace the original building, which was burned down in 1817. Weber wrote in his diary that the opera was received with "incredible enthusiasm: ( )verture and Folk-song were encored; fourteen out of seventeen music-pieces were stormily applauded. Everything went exceedingly well, and was sung con amort, I was called before the curtain and took Mad. [sic] Seidler and Mile, [sic] Eunike with me, as I could not get hold of the others, -es and wreaths came flying. 'Soli Deo Gloria." 1 Some of these 96fl were malicious, and reflected on Spontini, much to Weber's distn The first public performance of the overture was at Copenhagen, October 8, 1820. Weber was making a tour through North Germany and Denmark. The second performance was at Brunswick, October 31, L820. And before the performance of the opera itself the overture played for the third time at Dresden, December Is. \S20. at a con- cert given by Weber's friend Heinrich Joseph Barmann, the brilliant clarinetist. The overture begins adagio, major, 4-4. After eight measures of introduction there i- a part-song for four horns.

Franz Schubert (Born at Lichtenthal, near Vienna, January 31, 1797; died at Vienna, November 19, 1828.) Two brothers, Anselm and Joseph Hiittenbrenner, were fond of Schubert. Their home was in Graz, Styria, but they were living at Vienna. Anselm was a musician ; Joseph was in a government office. Anselm took Schubert to call on Beethoven, and there is a story that the sick man said, "You, Anselm, have my mind; but Franz has my soul." Anselm closed the eyes of Beethoven in death. These brothers were constant in endeavor to make Schubert known. Anselm went so far as to publish a set of "Erl-king Waltzes," and assisted in putting Schubert's opera, "Alfonso and Estrella" (1822), in rehearsal at Graz, where it would have been performed if the score had not been too difficult for the orchestra. In 1822 Schubert was elected an honorary member of musical societies of Linz and Graz.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: FRENCH CHARACTER PIECES
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: FRENCH CHARACTER PIECES (1860-1960) Cindy Lin, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2013 Dissertation directed by: Professor Bradford Gowen School of Music My dissertation recording project explores a variety of musical works that realize the expressive and organizational potential of a highly coloristic approach to composition. I focus on French character pieces written between 1860 and 1960. Although numerous French character pieces were written before 1860 and after 1960, I have narrowed the scope of the list to the time range of a century. In this research, I analyze some of the works of ten composers in chronological order to show the subtle changes in style over time. The micro-level expressive qualities of these pieces as well as their macro-level organizational structures are analyzed in this document. The sources for the selected works include: 48 Esquisses, Op. 63 by Charles- Valentin Alkan; Dix piѐces pittoresques by Emmanuel Chabrier; Etudes de Concert, Op. 35 and Romances sans paroles, Op. 76 by Cécile Chaminade; Préludes (Book I and II) and Estampes by Claude Debussy; Miroirs by Maurice Ravel; Cerdaña by Déodat de Séverac; Les Heures persanes, Op. 65 by Charles Koechlin; Napoli Suite by Francis Poulenc; La Muse ménagѐre, Op. 245 by Darius Milhaud; and Préludes and Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant Jésus by Olivier Messiaen. I have recorded approximately two hours of solo piano music. The selected pieces were recorded on a Steinway “D” in Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa by Peter Nothnagle. This document is available in the digital Repository at the University of Maryland and the CD’s are available through the Library System at the University of Maryland.

  • Emmanuel Chabrier, Une Biographie De Francis Poulenc Michel Burgard
    Emmanuel Chabrier, une biographie de Francis Poulenc Michel Burgard À la mémoire du Professeur François Roth, notre confrère, notre ami. Quand on apprécie les surprises routières, il est un endroit où l’on ne peut pas être déçu. Partez de Montbrison, Loire, ville natale de Pierre Boulez, et rendez vous à Ambert, Puy-de-Dôme, célèbre pour sa ronde mairie, celle autour de laquelle tournent Les Copains de Jules Romains et pour son compositeur, Emmanuel Chabrier. Quand il écrit son petit ouvrage, publié à La Palatine en 1961, Françis Poulenc ne tient pas à « faire de la musicologie » : Olivier Messiaen aurait dit : « Je ne suis pas ornithologue, je suis oiseau ». Poulenc aurait pu dire : « Je ne suis pas musicologue, je suis musicien ». Ricardo Viñes, son maître, et Marcelle Meyer, pianistes, « inoubliables interprètes de Chabrier », en reçoivent la dédicace. Le but de son écrit ? D’une haute ambition ! « Faire aimer autant qu’admirer ce musicien de première grandeur. » Ses pairs ? Debussy, Ravel, logiquement, Satie. L’école d’Arcueil jouxte le groupe des Six. Plus surprenant, Gabriel Fauré. Le portrait qu’il trace, d’une plume pittoresque, use de termes auvergnats : « bougnat » « foutrauds », entendez « originaux ». Il souligne aussi le contraste entre le négligé de la caricature de Detaille et le portrait soigné du fonctionnaire de la toile du Louvre, Chabrier travaillant alors, après sa licence en droit, au bureau des ampliations ( !) du ministère de l’Intérieur. Ami personnel de Monet, Manet, Renoir, Sisley, dont il possédait des toiles, il n’a jamais établi de correspondances entre peinture et musique dans son œuvre.

Allegramente Samantha Angstman, piano INTERMISSION Camille Saint-Saëns Bacchanal from Samson and Delilah, Op. 47 Alexander Borodin Symphony No. 2 in B minor Allegro Scherzo: Prestissimo Andante — Finale: Allegro PROGRAM NOTES by Troy Peters Chabrier: Joyeuse marche Although he displayed great musical promise as a child, Emmanuel Chabrier (1841-1894) became a civil servant in France’s Ministry of the Interior. Working in Paris, he befriended leading musicians and painters of the time, including Manet (who painted Chabrier’s portrait twice). Seeing Wagner’s opera, Tristan and Isolde, on an 1880 trip to Germany so inspired Chabrier that he decided to quit his job and devote his life to music. Like much of Chabrier’s music, Joyeuse marche (“Joyful March”) was written for piano and later orchestrated by the composer. He conducted its premiere to open an 1888 festival devoted to his music at Angers in the Loire valley. The march was a hit, and the festival ended up being a highpoint of Chabrier’s brief career, as he was just beginning to struggle with the mental illness that would soon make him unable to compose.
