  • Cohesion of Composer and Singer: the Female Singers of Poulenc
    COHESION OF COMPOSER AND SINGER: THE FEMALE SINGERS OF POULENC 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 Susan Joanne Musselman, B.M., M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Document Committee: J. Robin Rice, Adviser Approved by: Hilary Apfelstadt Wayne Redenbarger ________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in Music Copyright by Susan Joanne Musselman 2007 ABSTRACT Every artist’s works spring from an aspiring catalyst. One’s muses can range from a beloved city to a spectacular piece of music, or even a favorite time of year. Francis Poulenc’s inspiration for song-writing came from the high level of intimacy he had with his close friends. They provided the stimulation and encouragement needed for a lifetime of composition. There is a substantial amount of information about Francis Poulenc’s life and works available. We are fortunate to have access to his own writings, including a diary of his songs, an in-depth interview with a close friend, and a large collection of his correspondence with friends, fellow composers, and his singers. It is through these documents that we not only glean knowledge of this great composer, but also catch a glimpse of the musical accuracy Poulenc so desired in the performance of his songs. A certain amount of scandal surrounded Poulenc during his lifetime and even well after his passing. Many rumors existed involving his homosexuality and his relationships with other male musicians, as well as the possible fathering of a daughter. The primary goal of this document is not to unearth any hidden innuendos regarding his personal life, however, but to humanize the relationships that Poulenc had with so many of his singers.

  • JOSEPH CARLUCCI Photography
    JOSEPH CARLUCCI Photography Joseph Carlucci was born on 28 January 1956 in Nociglia, Italy. When he was ten, he moved to Lausanne, where he attended school. Interested in music from an early age, he experienced his first rock concert at the age of 18: Uriah Heep in Bern. It was love at first sight! Out of passion, Joseph began to immortalise artists on stage with his camera. His talent and commitment naturally opened the doors of the backstage area for him; his privileged relationship with the musicians allowed him to capture unique images, historic performances and ardent emotions. As the official photographer for numerous events, music magazines and renowned newspapers, his photographs have travelled the world for 45 years. From AC/DC to ZZ Top, Nirvana, BB King, Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Queen or Elton John, to name but a few, the idols of generations have been captured and immortalised by his lens. In stadiums, concert halls or at festivals in Switzerland or anywhere in the world where great music is played. Reports in music magazines such as Hard Rock Magazine, Enfer Magazine and many more as well as concert reviews in renowned newspapers, were frequently illustrated with the intense and expressive photos of Joseph Carlucci. Record companies, managements and artists appreciate his work. His photographs can be found on numerous releases: Posters of AC/DC's single 'Danger', photos in the remastered deluxe editions of the 30th anniversary box sets 'Ride the Lightning' and 'Master of Puppets' by Metallica or DVDs 'Live at Montreux' by Alice Cooper, Status Quo, Santana, Alanis Morissette, Deep Purple, ...
