Schubert's position is secure as the greatest composer of the Lied. Wolf, though challenging Schubert in this par ticular idiom only, brought the Lied to its culmination. This study will show, by comparative analysis, the respective treatment by Fr anz Schubert and Hugo Wolf of selected poems by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Though Schubert composed some seventy songs (not including multiple settings of the same text), and Wolf fifty-one, based on the poetry of Goethe, they sh ared only thirteen of these poems in common. Four songs by each composer have been selected for detailed analysis. The development of the German Lied has a long history and had its beginnings in the distant past when song was little different from spee-ch. Not until the appearance of the Minnesinger did the song acquire form either in meter or mewooy. The Minresinger, composed of aristocratic German poet-m musicians who flourished from the twelfth to the four teenth century, were inspired by the French troubadours. The German Minnesang must not be considered a strict copy of troubadour poetry, nor. was it solely dependent upon I 2 French origins, for the actual sources seem many and varied. Among them, the Gregorian element: appears to be the oldest. Another difference occurs in the use of Latin letters and verses of rhythmic form, but it would seem that the most in fluential source from which the Minnesingers derive their art comes from the clergy who popularized the eleventh century erotic songs of the goliards. The dual nature of the Minne sqng manifests itself in the erotic element on the one hand and. Christian spiritualism on the other.1 With Friedrich von Husen (Hausen), the Minnesinger epoch began, and with Walther von der Vogelweide (c.1170 c.1230), it reached its zenith. Lang believes that Walther was a lyrical genius whose importance to German art is com parable only to that of Goethe. 2 As in all evolutionary processes, the perfection of the Minnesang was reached by degrees. At first there were allit erative words which were gradually superseded by regular rhymes. The structure of the verses dictated the form in which the Minnesang melodies were set. The notation was similar to that in use in the Church, the melodies being based on ecclesiastical modes.3 1 Paul Henry Lang, Music in Western Civilization (New York, 1941), p. 118. 2 Ibid., p. 119. 3A. H. Wodehouse, "Song," Groves Dictionary of Music .- _61. and Musicians, Vol. V (New York, 1946); pJ - 35 In performance, the Minnesinger always accompanied his own singing, and expected no remuneration for his services. On the other hand, the fahrenden Snger (wandering minstrel), who formed a link between the nobles and the people, expected to be paid for his efforts. The Gaukler or die Fahrenden were patronized by the courts. They made known the people's songs to the nobles, and transmitted the songs of the Church and Minnesinger to the people.

    THE POETIC MUSE: GOETHE, SCHUBERT and the ART of SONG Lorraine Byrne Bodley Anyone Who Ventures Into the Vast Regions of The

    THE POETIC MUSE: GOETHE, SCHUBERT AND THE ART OF SONG Lorraine Byrne Bodley Anyone who ventures into the vast regions of the 19th-century Lied meets a powerful presence almost immediately. Time and again the text is by Goethe, whose lyric imagination left an indomitable imprint on European music history. Even a cursory glance at Friedlaender’s Das deutsche Lied bears testimony to multiple settings of Goethe’s poems and the range and variety of this abundant repertoire is immediately striking. Ernst Challier’s Grosser Lieder-Katalog gives further evidence of the musicality of Goethe’s language and its location of meaning at the cradle of the Lied. Schubert’s first masterpiece, ‘Gretchen am Spinnrade’, was a setting of a dramatic scene from Goethe’s Faust. The earliest songs of Reichardt, Spohr, Loewe, Brahms and Wagner were to texts by Goethe, which raises the question as to the reasons for the poet’s influence. Yes, Goethe was a supreme lyric poet. The binding force of form and meaning, or rhythm and sense, that characterizes Goethe’s lyric poetry offered composers a wealth of material with which to cut their compositional cloth. Yes, Goethe was an object of admiration, even veneration, throughout the 19th century and the sheer quantity and variety of music his poetry has inspired signals the huge fascination exerted by his writing and his personality. Yet the steadfastness of his occupancy of the Lied goes beyond these explanations. Deeper currents must explain why Goethe’s poetry goes hand in glove in our musical heritage. From the time he burst onto the literary scene with the publication of Die Leiden des jungen Werther in 1774 until long after his death in 1832, Goethe was a catalyst for many composers who wanted to challenge what song could be.

  • A Psychoanalytic Reading of the Character Mignon on Her Journey Through Nineteenth Century Lieder

    A Psychoanalytic Reading of the Character Mignon on Her Journey Through Nineteenth Century Lieder

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of North Carolina at Greensboro ALBERT, ANNE E., D.M.A. Fragments: A Psychoanalytic Reading of the Character Mignon on Her Journey Through Nineteenth Century Lieder. (2009) Directed by Dr. Robert Wells. 58pp. The songs of Mignon from Goethe’s novel Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship (Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre) have been set hundreds of times by dozens of composers from the late 18th century onward. Though most frequently set by composers from the German School, Mignon’s songs have also been popular with many non-Germans including works by French, Russian, and Italian composers. Mignon’s mysterious persona has long fascinated song composers and many have been compelled to set her songs multiple times. The purpose of this study is to explore the character of Mignon from Goethe’s novel, Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship through the lens of a psychoanalytic literary critic. I will examine six different composer’s settings of Mignon’s first song in the novel, “Kennst du das Land?” in order to understand how each composer portrays her character differently as seen through their unique compositional styles, their own psychology, and the style periods in which they wrote. The method of literary criticism applied to the song settings becomes psychoanalytic reader-response criticism as we move from merely analyzing Goethe’s depiction of Mignon to each composer’s depiction and reception of Goethe’s character in addition to our own reception of that persona. One of the goals of this research is to show how Mignon’s character is transformed as she makes her way through history in the development of Lieder.

    A Comparison of Robert Schumann's and Hugo Wolf's Settings

    A COMPARISON OF ROBERT SCHUMANN’S AND HUGO WOLF’S SETTINGS OF GOETHE’S MIGNON LIEDER A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF MUSIC BY CARRIE RIVERA JOSEPH LEVITT – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, IN MAY 2012 2 The nine poems presented throughout Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister’s Lehrjahre have continued to fascinate German composers for the last three centuries. Of the three characters represented in these poems throughout the novel, one character in particular has remained the most fascinating, the character of Mignon. While at the same time seeming to possess a naïve quality about her, Mignon is also tainted by the suffering she had faced throughout her short life. In an attempt to capture what composers perceived as the true character of Mignon, several have set her poems to music. Of the many musical settings of the Mignon poetry found today, two stand out among the rest, that of Robert Schumann and Hugo Wolf. In order to find which composer’s musical setting best represents the complex character of Mignon, this study will consist of comparing Schumann’s and Wolf’s settings of the Goethe’s four Mignon poems to the character descriptions of Mignon found in Eric A. Blackwell and Victor Lange’s English translation of Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister’s Lehrjahre. The four poems that will be looked at include Goethe’s “Kennst du das Land?” “Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt,” Heiss mich nicht reden,” and “So lasst mich scheinen.” While several past studies have claimed Hugo Wolf’s setting of the Mignon lieder to be far superior to all other settings in its ability to represent the character of Mignon in the music, this study will instead strive to demonstrate how Robert Schumann’s musical setting of Goethe’s Mignon lieder best represents the character of Mignon.

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Baptismal name Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart (27 January 1756 ² 5 December 1791), was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers. Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. At 17, he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and travelled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of Mozart's death. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and two sons. Mozart learned voraciously from others, and developed a brilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate. His influence on subsequent Western art music is profound. Beethoven wrote his own early compositions in the shadow of Mozart, of whom Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years." Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born to Leopold and Anna Maria Pertl Mozart at 9 Getreidegasse in Salzburg, capital of the sovereign Archbishopric of Salzburg, in what is now Austria but, at the time, was part of the Bavarian Circle in the Holy Roman Empire.
