Hanns Eisler and His Hollywood Songbook: a Survey of the Five Elegies (Fünf Elegien) and the Hölderlin Fragments (Hölderlin­Fragmente) Hanns Eisler and His Hollywood Songbook: A Survey of the Five Elegies (Fünf Elegien) and the Hölderlin Fragments (Hölderlin­Fragmente) D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Stanley E. Workman, Jr., B.M., M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2010 D.M.A. Document Committee: Dr. Robin Rice, Advisor Professor Loretta Robinson Dr. C. Patrick Woliver Copyright by Stanley Edward Workman, Jr. 2010 Abstract Hanns Eisler, (1898‐1962), remains today as one of the most fascinating and controversial composers of the Twentieth‐Century. Schooled in the aesthetic style of the Second Viennese School of Schoenberg, Eisler made an ideological shift in the trajectory of his musical career in the mid‐1920’s, shifting the emphasis away from ‘art music’ to music for the Worker’s Movement. Enormously versatile, Eisler then found himself working in various genres, from the writing of ‘agitprop’ style ballads and choruses, the Lehrstücke collaborations with friend and colleague Bertolt Brecht, and to the composing of film scores for many documentary and Leftist film producers. When the Worker’s Movement was disbanded with the oncoming of Hitler in 1933, Eisler, now an exile, once again returned to more conventional musical forms such as the Symphony and the Art Song. It is during this exile period in both Europe and the U.S.A. that Eisler composed some of his greatest works, such as the Deutsche Sinfonie, the chamber work Fourteen Ways of Describing Rain, and the Hollywood Songbook (Das Hollywooder Liederbuch), to name just a few. Eisler’s prolific Hollywood film score career was interrupted by the infamous 1947 HUAC hearings, which resulted in deportation. Eventually Eisler settled in the GDR where he composed and taught, but would find some of his compositional aspirations, such as the writing of a new opera, brutally attacked by criticisms of musical elitism. Probably no other composer has suffered more from the effects of the Cold War globally as has Hanns Eisler. Only in the last twenty years have serious efforts been undertaken to reevaluate his work through critical analysis, performance, and discussion. The goal of this document is to introduce Hanns Eisler and his music, presenting him as one of the great continuers of the genre of the Lied in the twentieth‐century. This document begins with a brief biography of Hanns Eisler, and moves to a discussion of the Hollywood Songbook, briefly touching on various songs, then moving to a musical examination of two (of three) closed cycles within the collection: the Five Elegies (Fünf Elegien) and the Hölderlin Fragments (Hölderlin­ Fragmente). Included within are appendices listing works for voice and piano, and a selected Hanns Eisler Vocal Discography. ii Dedication This document is dedicated to Charles P. Varney (1931‐2010) Teacher, Mentor, and Friend. iii Acknowledgments I want to first express my thanks to my committee: to my teacher and advisor, Dr. John Robin Rice for his expert teaching and unfailing support throughout my doctoral studies; to Professor Loretta Robinson for her encouragement and optimism, and to Dr. C. Patrick Woliver for his vigilant guidance and insightful observations. To Dr. Helen Fehervary, a member of my Candidacy Committee, I wish to express my thanks and gratitude for her outstanding teaching, and for introducing me to the music of Hanns Eisler. Without this introduction, this paper would never have been written. Thanks are due to several of my colleagues at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, Ohio: to Dr. Carl Hilgarth and Dr. Thomas Piontek for their expert guidance through difficult German texts; to Dr. Nicholas Meriwether for thought‐ provoking conversations on philosophical concepts. I would like to offer special thanks and deepest gratitude to my friend and colleague, Dr. Michael Barnhart for the many hours of thoughtful musical discussion and analysis we have shared on this and many other projects. Finally I wish to acknowledge, with much gratitude, the support of several individuals: to Beverly Cain, former Librarian of the Portsmouth Public Library, and now Librarian for the State of Ohio, for her willingness to serve as my ‘personal librarian’ and provide assistance even up to the eleventh hour; to Amy Clark Barnhart for her expertise in the area of graphic design; to Jon Burton for his assistance, support, advice, and friendship; and to John Huston, Professor of Theatre at Shawnee State University, whose unwavering faith and confidence in my abilities throughout this project has held me to the course. iv Vita June 1978..................................................................Portsmouth High School (Ohio) May 1982...................................................................B.M.

The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the relationships between trauma, memory, fantasy and narrative in a close reading/viewing of different forms of Jewish life-writing and documentary film by means of a scientifically informed approach to childhood trauma. Chapter 1 discusses the reception of Binjamin Wilkomirski’s Fragments (1994), which was hailed as a paradigmatic traumatic narrative written by a child survivor before it was discovered to be a fictional text based on the author’s invented Jewish life-story.

It’s only RIO, but I like it. Carrying the torch for these avant Progressive refuseniks are Thinking Plague, part of a stateside Cow-inspired contingent including 5uu’s and Motor Totemist Guild. These groups have…produced some extraordinary work… Their music eschews the salon woodwinds and cellos of the European groups for a more traditional electric palette, and its driving, whirlwind climaxes show a marked influence of King Crimson and Yes, names to make their RIO granddaddies run screaming from the room. …this new album finds the group’s main writer Mike Johnson in [an] apocalyptic mood, layering the pale vocals of Deborah Perry into a huge choir of doom, her exquisitely twisted harmonies spinning tales of war, despair and redemption as the music becomes audaciously, perhaps absurdly, complex. … Thinking Plague are exciting and ridiculous in equal measure, as good Prog rock should be.” - Keith Moliné, Wire, Issue 239, January 2004 “Thinking Plague formed in 1983…after guitarist and main composer Mike Johnson answered a notice posted by Bob Drake for a guitarist into “Henry Cow, Yes, etc.” …these initial influences are still prominent in the group’s sound - along with King Crimson, Stravinsky, Ligeti, Art Bears, and Univers Zero.

  • Barbara Hammer, 70 Years Old, Hands the Camera to Gina Carducci, a Young Queer Film- Maker
    Generations is a film about mentoring and passing on the tradi- tion of personal experimental filmmaking. Barbara Hammer, 70 years old, hands the camera to Gina Carducci, a young queer film- maker. Shooting during the last days of Astroland at Coney Is- land, New York, the filmmakers find that the inevitable fact of ageing echoes in the architecture of the amusement park and in the emulsion of the film medium itself. Editing completely sep- arately both picture and sound, the filmmakers join their films in the middle when they’ve finished, making a true generational and experimental experiment. In a time when digital dominates the art domain, a DIY aesthet- ic is embraced by Gina Carducci, a young thirty-year-old filmmak- er who hand processes 16mm film and a seventy-year-old pioneer of queer experimental cinema, Barbara Hammer.

  • Performances As Analyses of Cyclic Macroform in Arnold Schoenberg's
    Shaping Form: Performances as Analyses of Cyclic Macroform in Arnold Schoenberg’s Sechs kleine Klavierstücke, op. 19 (1911), in the Recordings of Eduard Steuermann and Other Pianists * Christian U and Thomas Glaser NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.20.26.4/mto.20.26.4.u.php KEYWORDS: analysis and performance, Arnold Schoenberg, corpus study of musical recordings, Eduard Steuermann, history of musical performance, Sechs kleine Klavierstücke, Six Lile Piano Pieces, op. 19 ABSTRACT: Arnold Schoenberg’s Sechs kleine Klavierstücke (Six Lile Piano Pieces), op. 19 (1911), offer a fruitful case study to examine and categorize performers’ strategies in regard to their form- shaping characteristics. A thorough quantitative and qualitative analysis of 46 recordings from 41 pianists (recorded between 1925 to 2018), including six recordings from Eduard Steuermann, the leading pianist of the Second Viennese School, scrutinizes the interdependency between macro- and microformal pianistic approaches to this cycle. In thus tracing varying conceptions of a performance-shaped cyclic form and their historical contexts, the continuous unfurling of the potential of Schoenberg’s musical ideas in both “structuralist” and “rhetorical” performance styles is systematically explored, offering a fresh approach to the controversial discussion on how analysis and performance might relate to one another.

  • Revolutionsliteratur 1919-2019. Eine Kleine Geschichte Politischer Vereinnah- Mungen
    undercurrents – Forum für linke Literaturwissenschaft Sommer 2019 Revolutionsliteratur 1919-2019. Eine kleine Geschichte politischer Vereinnah- mungen Steffen Hendel Die gescheiterte deutsche Revolution von 1919 mitsamt ihren Akteur_innen scheint in der gegenwärtigen literarischen und literaturwissenschaftlichen Auseinanderset- zung wenn nicht abwesend, so doch marginalisiert. Wenn überhaupt kommen Au- tor_innen, Zeitschriften, einzelne Titel der 1919er nur anlässlich des 100jährigen Ju- biläums der Revolution wieder in den Blick einzelner Forschungsvorhaben und der bildungsbürgerlichen Öffentlichkeit. Der Grund für die relative Abwesenheit der künstlerischen Produkte und Ideen jener Zeit ist fraglos der, dass sie von der heuti- gen Wissenschaft, Bildungprogrammen im weiteren Sinn und dem privaten Lesein- teresse als politisch anachronistisch bewertet werden. Wenn jedoch kritisch festge- stellt wird, 1919er Literatur sei heutigentags erstaunlich wenig präsent, spricht sich auch ein anderer Gedanke aus. Es ist die Idee eines Wirkungszusammenhangs, wo- rüber sich womöglich alle, ungeachtet politischer Gegensätzlichkeiten, sogar einig sind. Demnach erwachse aus der revolutionären, kommunistischen Literatur der 1919er selbst eine notwendige Bedingung oder gar die Potenz zur Verwirklichung ihrer darin vertretenen Inhalte. Der Aufsatz will dabei den Zusammenhang von links-revolutionärer Literaturauffassung, ihrer Ästhetik und der Möglichkeit bzw. Praxis sogar politisch gegenteiliger Interpretation beleuchten. Das soll mit Blick auf ausgesuchte Texte und Autor_innen der revolutionären Literatur der 1919er und ins- besondere den Malik Verlag Berlin geschehen, die, auch nach seinem Ende 1947, bis in die Gegenwart verlegt werden. 1 undercurrents – Forum für linke Literaturwissenschaft Sommer 2019 1919 und proletarisch-revolutionäre Literatur Mit den politischen Kämpfen am und nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs zeigte sich die Heterogenität der gesellschaftlichen Bewegungen, die bis gerade eben noch als eine einheitliche gesellschaftliche Kraft erschienen sein mochten.
