EARTH FIRE WAT ER AIR 9th to 25th June 2017 EARTH | FIRE | WATER | AIR Programme & Concept: Dr. Andrea Palent | Dr. Jelle Dierickx The Music Festival Potsdam Sanssouci dedicates the period from 9th to 25th June to the manifold connections between earth, fire, water, air and music. Potsdam’s palaces and gardens become venues where artists from 23 nations sound out the four elements in their manifestations as great floods, thunderstorms, singing rocks, whirling winds, creation or chaos by means of more than 80 concerts, operas and guided tours. Whether at a fiery Spanish baroque opera, an airy Sanssouci jazz night, during the bicycle concert, the water concerts in Babelsberg or at exclusive home concerts by the water – music is fully in its element. At the heart of Park Sanssouci four statues embrace the great fountain. These are the allego- rical figures of fire, water, earth and air. Nearby, in the Picture Gallery Sanssouci, Jan Brueghel the younger depicts water and earth embodied by Thetis and Ceres; on the roof of the old city hall Atlas attempts to carry the celestial sphere. It suggests itself: in 2017 the Music Festival Potsdam Sanssouci shows how composers, interpreters, music theorists, scientists or instru- ment makers have been occupying themselves with the quadriga of fire, water, earth and air through the centuries. No less than three musical theatre productions take up the issue. Ulysses had to sail the seas as a helpless victim of elementary forces. In William Kentridge’s legendary production of Monteverdi’s »Il ritorno d’Ulisse« the interplay of singers, puppets and video animation accompanies Ulysses on his travels through time and space. Antonio de Literes’ Ópera »Los Elementos« whisks the audience into the Spanish baroque world with sensually explosive rhythms and a lot of love for the female voice. The premiere of the children’s opera »A little Magic Flute« shows how Tamino and Papageno have to walk through fire and water to win the real princess. Further concerts explore the influence the elements had on music and music theory: from the signs of the zodiac to alchemy, from the theory of the four humours to spherical harmony. There are instruments made from rocks and from glass as well as the pneumaphone and the Basque tonewood Txalaparta. As a model of human world exploration the theory of earth, fire, water and air is in a sense the mother of natural sciences. So naturally the Music Festival visits one of the most impor- tant regional science locations: the University of Potsdam’s Campus Golm. The water garden in Babelsberg celebrates prince Pückler’s water art, which was brought back to life after 100 years. Visitors experience the recently renewed Palace Park Babelsberg with musical walks looking at water-related musical instruments, water sound games for children and a picnic concert – staged for the very first time at the sunbathing lawn by Lake Tiefer See.

What air am I breathing? What ground am I treading on?« Homer’s Odyssey is brought to vivid life in William Kentridge’s restaging of this classic Monteverdi opera. Set in mid-20th century Johannesburg, this version of the work com- bines sublime music and libretto with Kentridge’s animated charcoal drawings and life-size wooden puppets beautifully carved by Handspring Puppet Company, bringing the audience face to face with the power of myth. The music is interpreted by the Ricercar Consort under the direction of early music specialist Philippe Pierlot. Ulisse is no longer in Ithaca. Instead, he lies reminiscing in a hospital bed in Johannesburg before death comes greet him. As he remembers his ten-year expedition following the Trojan War, his romantic return to his wife Penelope becomes an epic dream that intersects not only with classical Greece but also with Monteverdi’s Venice and contemporary South Africa. A timeless story of homecoming, fortune, adoration and human frailty. »Il ritorno d’Ulisse« was first performed in 1998 at the Kunsten FESTIVAL des Arts in Brussels. The production went onto touring South Africa, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Portugal, France, USA, Luxembourg, Italy, Australia and the UK. The 2016 version was produ- ced by Quaternaire/Paris supported by the Asia Culture Center-Asian Arts Theater (Gwangju), the Lincoln Center White Light Festival (New York) and the Music Festival Potsdam Sanssouci.

Based in Barcelona, Spain, the early music ensemble LE TENDRE AMOUR is directed and or- ganized by Katy Elkin and Esteban Mazer. The ensemble has performed hundreds of concerts throughout Europe in the most prestigious early music festivals and concert seasons. They were twice awarded the Jurica Murai and Ivan Lukacic prizes for best interpretation and best concert in the Varaždin Baroque Festival, Croatia. LE TENDRE AMOUR was awarded »ensemble in residence« for three years in the Seviqc Brežice Festival in Slovenia. Their latest chamber opera productions include »Le Devin du Village« (production Styriarte festival, Austria), »La Serva Padrona« (production Teatro Sar- rià, Barcelona) and 40 concerts of »Don Quichotte chez la Duchesse«, a production that combined theater, circus, and baroque music in the Biennale de Bron (Lyon, France). LE TENDRE AMOUR has also created, together with stage director Adrián Schvarzstein, a show of baroque music and circus called »Seasons« in the Cirque Noël (Graz, Austria). Their latest production is »The Tempest«, where Shakespeare’s epic work is brought to life with original music and two virtuosic actors from London. Adrián Schvarzstein is a mix of Spanish, Argentinian, Italian and ..

First and foremost, this project could never have come to fruition without the support and encouragement of my advisor, Emma Dillon, who took me under her wing the moment I arrived in Philadelphia. Her seminars sparked my interest in the study of manuscripts as material objects and were the starting point for this project. I am especially grateful for the guidance she has offered throughout the dissertation process, reading drafts of the proposal, grant applications, and chapters. Her suggestions and comments have pushed me to clarify my thoughts and to investigate questions I might otherwise have left aside. The rest of my committee deserves recognition and many thanks as well. Emily Dolan has been an invaluable mentor as both a scholar and a teacher throughout my time at Penn. Outside of the music department, I am indebted to Kevin Brownlee for his constant support of my work and for his seminars, which helped to shape the literary side of my dissertation, as well as for his assistance with the translations in Chapter 1.

The Early Medieval Music (500-1150). i. Early chant traditions Chant (or plainsong) is a monophonic sacred form which represents the earliest known music of the Christian Church. The simplest, syllabic chants, in which each syllable is set to one note, were probably intended to be sung by the choir or congregation, while the more florid, melismatic examples (which have many notes to each syllable) were probably performed by soloists. Plainchant melodies (which are sometimes referred to as a “drown,” are characterized by the following: A monophonic texture; For ease of singing, relatively conjunct melodic contour (meaning no large intervals between one note and the next) and a restricted range (no notes too high or too low); and Rhythms based strictly on the articulation of the word being sung (meaning no steady dancelike beats). Chant developed separately in several European centers, the most important being Rome, Hispania, Gaul, Milan and Ireland. Chant was developed to support the regional liturgies used when celebrating Mass. Each area developed its own chant and rules for celebration. In Spain and Portugal, Mozarabic chant was used, showing the influence of North Afgican music. The Mozarabic liturgy survived through Muslim rule, though this was an isolated strand and was later suppressed in an attempt to enforce conformity on the entire liturgy.

  • Reissues from Ricercar, Eloquence and Beulah - January 2018 by Brian Wilson

    Reissues from Ricercar, Eloquence and Beulah - January 2018 by Brian Wilson

    Reissues from Ricercar, Eloquence and Beulah - January 2018 By Brian Wilson I would normally have included these reissues in one of the Second Thoughts and Short Reviews which I write with Dan Morgan, but the latest edition is already quite full, and I thought that these releases merited a separate article to themselves. The three series occupy different niches: the Ricercar, labelled Ricercar con Echo, are releases of earlier CD offerings from the late 1980s to the 2000s; Eloquence bring recordings from the Universal group of labels, Decca, DG and Philips; the Beulah are download only reissues of classic material from LP and, in some cases, 78s. Beulah downloads can be obtained from iTunes and Amazon, but in mp3 and usually at less than the full 320kbs. It sometimes takes a little longer before they appear, at the same price of £7.99, from Qobuz, but it’s worth waiting to hear them in the same quality as my press previews. Though sourced from disc rather than master tape, the quality is almost always as high as, for example, the same material reissued by Decca on Eloquence, often differently coupled. No booklet is ever included. Ricercar seem to be incapable of offering decent quality review previews – they tell me that it isn’t feasible. Though they had at least begun to encode their mp3 at the full 320kbs, the present batch came at an unacceptably low 192kbs – no better than BBC Radio 3 on DAB. I expect that these reissues will become available in better sound, presumably from eclassical.com; I’ll report back if and when that happens.
