The Most Common Orchestral Excerpts for the Horn: a Discussion of Performance Practice
The most common orchestral excerpts for the horn: a discussion of performance practice by Shannon L. Armer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Music in the Faculty of Humanities University of Pretoria Supervisor: Dr. J. deC Hinch Pretoria January 2006 © University of Pretoria ii ABSTRACT This study describes in detail the preparation that must be done by aspiring orchestral horn players in order to be sufficiently ready for an orchestral audition. The general physical and mental preparation, through to the very specific elements that require attention when practicing and learning a list of orchestral excerpts that will be performed for an audition committee, is investigated. This study provides both the necessary tools and the insight borne of a number of years of orchestral experience that will enable a player to take a given excerpt and learn not only the notes and rhythms, but also discern many other subtleties inherent in the music, resulting in a full understanding and mastery thereof. Ten musical examples are included in order to illustrate the type of additional information that a player must gain so as to develop an in-depth knowledge of an excerpt. Three lists are presented within the text of this study: 1) a list of excerpts that are most commonly found at auditions, 2) a list of those excerpts that are often included and 3) other excerpts that have been requested but are not as commonly found. Also included is advice regarding the audition procedure itself, a discussion of the music required for auditions, and a guide to the orchestral excerpt books in which these passages can be found. -

Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, an environment for world-class artistic presentation in the Hudson Valley, was designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 2003. Risk-taking performances and provocative programs take place in the 800-seat Sosnoff Theater, a proscenium-arch space; and in the 220-seat Theater Two, which features a flexible seating configuration. The Center is home to Bard College’s Theater and Dance Programs, and host to two annual summer festivals: SummerScape, which offers opera, dance, theater, operetta, film, and cabaret; and the Bard Music Festival, which celebrates its 22nd year in August, with “Sibelius and His World.” The Center bears the name of the late Richard B. Fisher, the former chair of Bard College’s Board of Trustees. This magnificent building is a tribute to his vision and leadership. The outstanding arts events that take place here would not be possible without the contributions made by the Friends of the Fisher Center.

Il musicista cominciò a scrivere la «Domestica» nel 1902, poco dopo l'andata in scena della sua seconda opera Feuersnot (Fuochi di San Giovanni) e la terminò nel 1903, dirigendola per la prima volta al Carnegie Hall di New York il 21 marzo 1904. Sin d'allora questo poema sinfonico suscitò discussioni e riserve da parte della critica per il suo acceso e scoperto carattere autobiografico. -

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Transcending Imagination; Or, An Approach to Music and Symbolism during the Russian Silver Age A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Ryan Isao Rowen 2015 © Copyright by Ryan Isao Rowen 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Transcending Imagination; Or, An Approach to Music and Symbolism during the Russian Silver Age by Ryan Isao Rowen Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Mitchell Bryan Morris, Chair The Silver Age has long been considered one of the most vibrant artistic movements in Russian history. Due to sweeping changes that were occurring across Russia, culminating in the 1917 Revolution, the apocalyptic sentiments of the general populace caused many intellectuals and artists to turn towards esotericism and occult thought. With this, there was an increased interest in transcendentalism, and art was becoming much more abstract. The tenets of the Russian Symbolist movement epitomized this trend. Poets and philosophers, such as Vladimir Solovyov, Andrei Bely, and Vyacheslav Ivanov, theorized about the spiritual aspects of words and music. It was music, however, that was singled out as possessing transcendental properties. In recent decades, there has been a surge in scholarly work devoted to the transcendent strain in Russian Symbolism. The end of the Cold War has brought renewed interest in trying to understand such an enigmatic period in Russian culture. While much scholarship has been ii devoted to Symbolist poetry, there has been surprisingly very little work devoted to understanding how the soundscape of music works within the sphere of Symbolism. -

[email protected] Your Account Number: {MM:Account Number} {MM:Postcode} {MM:Address5} {MM:Address4} {MM:Address3} {MM:Address2} {MM:Address1} {MM:Name} 1 Welcome! Dear Customer, Young Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen has gradually been garnering attention in recent years, perhaps making the leap to a wider awareness following her award of Gramophone’s ‘Young Artist of the Year’ in 2018 and her sublime performance of Strauss’s ‘Morgen’ at the ceremony. Ariadne was her major role last year; 2019 sees her take on the part of Elisabeth in Tannhauser - Zurich and Munich have already had the pleasure and she will be taking it to Bayreuth in July, under the baton of Valery Gergiev in a brand new production. Pleasingly for those of us who won’t manage to catch her live, her debut album on Decca has just been released, featuring two arias from Tannhauser plus orchestral lieder (and one aria) by Richard Strauss. We have been hugely impressed, especially considering her mere 32 years of age, making it a clear choice for Disc of the Month. Please see our website for our full review. Other new releases to highlight for June include a second lieder recital from Decca, performed by none other than Renee Fleming; Hyperion issue the latest in their series of ‘Romantic Violin Concertos’, this volume featuring works by Lassen, Scharwenka and Langgaard; the Vaughan Williams Society offer us his works for viola and piano via the Albion label; the final instalment in the Halle’s superb Ring Cycle (Siegfried) is released on the Halle’s own label; and stunning vocal ensemble Vox Luminis give us a treat in the shape of works by the Bach Family. -
Introduction
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-45659-3 - Rounding Wagner’s Mountain: Richard Strauss and Modern German Opera Bryan Gilliam Excerpt More information Introduction Chapter 1 suggests that, despite its obscurity, Guntram (1893) remains the central source for understanding the emergence of Strauss as a mature artist. The work, whose text was written by the composer, documents his early philosophical struggles with the issue of music and metaphysics. Earlier scholars of Strauss’s operatic oeuvre have explained its failure in terms of its miscarried Wagnerism, demonstrating that they themselves have failed to understand that Guntram ultimately rejects Wagnerian metaphysics. In 1949, at the end of his life, Strauss regretted that his biographers tended to downplay Guntram’s rejection of a Wagnerian Erlösung, thereby ignoring the breach between individual (subject) and the world (object), as the Minnesänger breaks his lyre and walks 1 away from his brotherhood and his beloved Freihild. In this single gesture, Strauss, who served as his own librettist on this work, suggests that if one systematically follows Schopenhauer to the end of his four-book World as Will and Representation,thefinal denial of the will must include a rejection of music. Feuersnot (1901), the co-subject, along with Salome, of Chapter 2, marked the end of a seven-year operatic hiatus in the wake of Guntram’s failure. During those years Strauss composed his mature tone poems, all of which exemplify a shift toward ego assertion foreshadowed by that breach between individual and collective treated in Guntram. Informed by Nietzsche and Stirner, these orchestral works feature an individual (whether the visionary hero of Ein Heldenleben or the delusional antihero of Don Quixote) at odds with a complacent society. -
