Christoph Willibald, Ritter von Gluck. (Born at Weidenwang, near Neumarkt, in the Upper Palatinate, on July 2, 17 14; died in Vienna on Nov. 15, 1787.) Iphigenie en Aulide, tragedy-opera in 3 acts, the text by the Bailli du Rollet (after Racine's tragedy), the music by Gluck, was brought out at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris on April 19, 1774. It was the first opera Gluck wrote especially for Paris. The overture, in its original form, was enchained with the music of the first scene of the opera, and thus had no closing cadence. Mozart wrote a coda to it for concert performance. With this ending Richard Wagner was dissatisfied — for reasons given below — so he wrote another for a con- cert performance under his own direction in Zurich. He also mooted some points regarding the proper tempo of the main body of the overture. As the overture is to be played at this concert in Wagner's arrangement, it will not be uninteresting to quote some of his principal arguments on the subject. His whole article, addressed to the editor of the Neue Zeitschrlft fiir Musik in Leipzig, and dated June 17, 1854, is to be found in his Ge- sammelte Schriften und Dichtungen, Vol. V., page 143. Here are some extracts from it. " The last measures of the overture, as you know, lead immediately over to the first scene of the opera, so that the overture has no ending. But I remembered hearing it with an ending written by Mozart, at concerts in my youth, and also later before the performance of ' Iphigenia in Tauris at the Dresden Court Theatre under the direction of my former colleague Reissiger. To be sure, it lay in my recollection that it then always made a " ^— ' —— ' fyhaustioit Horsford's Acid Phosphate Overworked men and women, the nervous, weak and de- bilitated, will find in the Acid Phosphate a most agreeable, grateful and harmless stimulant, giving renewed strength and vigor to the entire system.

Repairer for the (618) cold, indifferent impression upon me ; but I now thought this to be ascribed to a complete misconception of the tempo, which I had appreciated later, and not to Mozart's ending ; and I now had the tempo in my own hand. So I tried a rehearsal of the overture, in Mozart's arrangement, with the orchestra. But, when I came to the coda, I found it impossible after the first eight measures to let the orchestra play any farther : I felt immedi- ately that, if this ending of Mozart's, of and by itself, agreed very unsatis- factorily with the essential idea of Gluck's overture, it was absolutely not to be listened to, so soon as it was played in the right tempo of what pre- cedes it in the composition. With this tempo, as I have found out by ex- perience, matters stand as follows : — " The standard cut of all overtures, especially to the first operas, in the last century, was that of a short introduction in slow tempo, followed by a longer movement in quicker time. People had grown so used to this that, ' in Germany, where Gluck's Iphigenia ' itself had not been given for a long time, the overture to this opera, which had come to separate performances at concerts only, came insensibly to be looked upon as written likewise according to the usual pattern. This composition unquestionably contains two different movements in originally different tempi; namely, a slow one up to the nineteenth measure, and, from there on, one twice as quick. But Gluck had it in his mind to make the overture immediately introduce the first scene, which begins with the same theme as the overture does. In order not visibly to interrupt the tempo up to this point, he accordingly wrote the allegro-movement in notes of half the time-value that he would have had to write it in, if he had indicated the change of tempo by the word ' Allegro.' This will be plainly evident to any one who reads on in NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC. FOUNDED IN 1853 BY DR. EBEN TOURJEE. RICHARD H. DANA, President. CARL FAELTEN, Director.

    Č KALENDÁR VÝROČÍ 2010 H U D B A Zostavila Mgr. Dana Drličková Bratislava 2009 Pouţité skratky: n. = narodil sa u. = umrel výr.n. = výročie narodenia výr.ú. = výročie úmrtia 3 Ú v o d 6.9.2007 oznámili svetové agentúry, ţe zomrel Luciano Pavarotti. A hudobný svet stŕpol… Muţ, ktorý sa narodil ako syn pekára a zomrel ako hudobná superstar. Muţ, ktorého svetová popularita nepramenila len z jeho výnimočného tenoru, za ktorý si vyslúţil označenie „kráľ vysokého cé“. Jeho zásluhou sa opera ako okrajový ţáner predrala do povedomia miliónov poslucháčov. Exkluzívny svet klasickej hudby priblíţil širokému publiku vystúpeniami v športových halách, účinkovaním s osobnosťami popmusik, či rocku a charitatívnymi koncertami. Spieval takmer výhradne taliansky repertoár, debutoval roku 1961 v úlohe Rudolfa v Pucciniho Bohéme na scéne Teatro Municipal v Reggio Emilia. Jeho ľudská tvár otvárala srdcia poslucháčov: bol milovníkom dobrého jedla, futbalu, koní, pekného oblečenia a tieţ obstojný maliar. Bol poverčivý – musel mať na vystú- peniach vţdy bielu vreckovku v ruke a zahnutý klinec vo vrecku. V nastupujúcom roku by sa bol doţil 75. narodenín. Luciano Pavarotti patrí medzi najväčších tenoristov všetkých čias a je jednou z mnohých osobností, ktorých výročia si budeme v roku 2010 pripomínať. Nedá sa v úvode venovať detailnejšie ţiadnemu z nich, to ani nie je cieľom tejto publikácie. Ţivoty mnohých pripomínajú román, ľudské vlastnosti snúbiace sa s géniom talentu, nie vţdy v ideálnom pomere. Ale to je uţ úlohou muzikológov, či licenciou spisovateľov, spracovať osudy osobností hudby aj z tých, zdanlivo odvrátených stránok pohľadu ... V predkladanom Kalendári výročí uţ tradične upozorňujeme na výročia narodenia či úmrtia hudobných osobností : hudobných skladateľov, dirigentov, interprétov, teoretikov, pedagógov, muzikológov, nástrojárov, folkloristov a ďalších.

"Weber. " The great success of Der Freischiitz," in 182 1, turned the attention of leading opera managers to Weber, who agreed, with Dominico Barbaja, to write a second opera. Barbaja, it may be said, operated extensively in Southern Europe, but particularly at the Karnthnerthor Theatre, Vienna. After much trouble, Weber accepted a libretto at the hands of Wilhelmine: von Chezy, a blue-stocking from Dresden (whom Hanslick once called witty). This eccentric person laid before him a sketch made from a Ger- man translation of an old French romance, " Histoire de Gerard de Nevers, j et de la belle et vertueuse Euryanthe, sa mie." The opera failed, chiefly because of the utterly meaningless libretto of the Von Chezy, of whom it is " related that, on the night of the first performance of Euryanthe," Oct. 25, 1825, in the Karnthnerthor Theatre, Vienna, coming in rather late, when the aisles were filled, she tried to find her way to the front over the crowd, " exclaiming : Make room, make room for me, I say ! I tell you I am the " poetess ! the poetess ! The opera was mostly written in the summer of 1822, in Hosterlitz, where Weber and his wife and infant son were staying.

  • Frederic Hymen Cowen (B
    Frederic Hymen Cowen (b. Kingston, Jamaica, 29 January 1852; d. 6 October 1935, London) Concertstück for piano and orchestra Preface Frederic Cowen was born at Kingston, Jamaica, moving to London when his father became treasurer of Her Majesty’s Opera and subsequently of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Frederic showed an early aptitude for music, being encoura- ged by Sir Henry Bishop, taking lessons with John Goss and Julius Benedict, before eventually studying at Leipzig and Berlin with Ignaz Moscheles, Carl Reinecke, Louis Plaidy and Friedrich Kiel. His career was to be mainly as a conductor, notably of the Royal Philharmonic Society, the Halle, Liverpool Philharmonic and Scottish orchestras, and of the Handel Triennial Festival. It was through his conducting that Cowen became acquainted with Liszt, Rubinstein, Brahms, Grieg, Dvořák and many other contemporary musicians. As a composer, he achieved most success with his songs (more than 300 of them) and choral works, but he regarded his six symphonies as the pinnacle of his output. The Third Symphony (“The Scandanavian”) was his most successful (MPH score 749) and all six show a comfort with large structures, as well as a genuine flair for orchestration. That said, none could be said to be ‘forward looking’, and each is a good example of a post-Mendelssohn, post-Schumann European symphony. Cowen was a good enough pianist to play the Mendelssohn’s D minor Piano Concerto in public at the age of twelve. Following his studies in Leipzig and Berlin, he began a career as a pianist, touring the UK, Europe, and the USA.

  • Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson Phd 2020
    Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson PhD 2020 Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester RACHEL MARGARET JOHNSON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Awarded for a Collaborative Programme of Research at the Royal Northern College of Music by Manchester Metropolitan University 2020 Abstract My dissertation demonstrates how a new and distinctive musical culture developed in the industrialising society of early Victorian Manchester. It challenges a number of existing narratives relating to the history of music in nineteenth-century Britain, and has implications for the way we understand the place of music in other industrial societies and cities. The project is located at the nexus between musicology, cultural history and social history, and draws upon ideas current in urban studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology. Contrary to the oft-repeated claim that it was Charles Hallé who ‘brought music to Manchester’ when he arrived in 1848, my archival research reveals a vast quantity and variety of music-making and consumption in Manchester in the 1830s and 1840s. The interconnectedness of the many strands of this musical culture is inescapable, and it results in my adoption of ‘networks’ as an organising principle. Tracing how the networks were formed, developed and intertwined reveals just how embedded music was in the region’s social and civic life. Ultimately, music emerges as an agent of particular power in the negotiation and transformation of the concerns inherent within the new industrial city. The dissertation is structured as a series of interconnected case studies, exploring areas as diverse as the music profession, glee and catch clubs, the Hargreaves Choral Society’s programme notes, Mechanics’ Institutions and the early Victorian public music lecture.

Of interest is the case of the comic operas where the composer uses parody and allusion to create a persuasive counterpart to the libretto. The thesis attempts to place Sullivan in the context of his time, the conditions under which he worked and to give due weight to the fact that economic necessity often required him to meet the demands of the market. The influence of his early training is examined as well as the impact of the early Romantic German school of composers such as Mendelssohn, Schubert and Schumann.
