In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds. -

A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY from THE UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG by KEITH THOMAS JOHNS (M.Litt.,B.A.Hons.,Grad.Dip.Ed., F.L.C.M., F.T.C.L., L.T.C.L. ) SCHOOL OF CREATIVE ARTS 1986 i ABSTRACT This thesis examines the central concern in an analysis of the symphonic poems of Franz Liszt, that is, the relationship between programme,harmony and form. In order to make a thorough and clear analysis of this relationship a structural/semiotic analysis has been developed as the analysis of best fit. Historically it has been fashionable to see Liszt's symphonic poems in terms of sonata form or a form only making sense in terms of the attached programme. Both of these ideas are critically examined in this analysis. -

Why Christmas Can Never Be Cancelled the Economist
Why Christmas can never be cancelled The Economist Boozing away the winter blues is a long-held right Dec 11th 2020 BY TIM SMITH-LAING In the middle of a pandemic, it’s hard to think of a worse idea than celebrating a traditional Christmas. It seems like madness for extended families to travel from far and wide to squash round a table in the fug of a well-heated home and cough over Granny. Yet across the world people seem determined to do exactly that. Against the advice of epidemiologists, politicians in Britain chickened out of banning people from meeting up, France lifted stringent travel restrictions to allow limited get-togethers, and gatherings of up to ten people will be permitted in Germany. As many governments have found throughout history, you mess with Christmas at your peril. In an age of mass secularism, religion is only one reason why you can’t cancel seasonal festivities. Even Christians came rather late to the mid-winter festival. What we think of today as “Jesus’s birthday” wasn’t set in stone until the fourth century. Many early Christians thought their Messiah was born on January 6th. Others were adamant that it was the spring. (Just think, the Holly and the Ivy could have been Daffodils and Tulips.) It was only some 350 years after Jesus was born that newly Christian Rome put an end to centuries of squabbling and settled on December 25th as the date of the virgin birth (a few holdouts in the Orthodox church still prefer the January celebration). -

Franz Liszt's Vallee D'obermann from the Annees De Pelerinage
Franz Liszt’s Vallée d’Obermann from the Années de Pèlerinage, Première Année, Suisse: A Poetic Performance Guide A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2013 by Bora Lee MM, University of Cincinnati, 2003 BM, Yonsei University, 2001 Committee Chair: Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract An informed performance of the music of Franz Liszt often requires biographical study and knowledge of numerous literary references. Composed primarily during his exile from Paris with Countess Marie d’Agoult, the keyboard work Vallée d’Obermann from the Années de Pèlerinage, Première Année, Suisse captures the despondence and hope in two Romantic sources: the French novel Obermann (1804) by Étienne Pivert de Sénancour and the English poem Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage (1812) by Lord Byron. But the score also reflects the young musician’s unease over his career, reputation, and future. This document will address the highly personal nature of Vallée d’Obermann and investigate musical narratives that will benefit enterprising pianists for more poetically nuanced rendition. The first chapter will discuss the compositional and literary background of Vallée d’Obermann, delving into the works by Sénancour and Byron and touching upon events in Liszt’s life. The second chapter will present the rhetorical devices in Vallée d’Obermann that create unique music-poetic relationships. The final chapter is a performance guide to Vallée d’Obermann for pianists who wish not only to execute the technical obstacles of the score, but to project the work’s literary and autobiographical aspects. -
