  • The Hyechra Club
    THE HYECHRA CLUB The narrator has had a lively interest in The Hyechka Club since its beginning and believes that its history merits recording and dmu- menting in The Chronicles of OkZuhoma, Members of the Club in the past have been interested and its members today are interested in building and supporting a city and a state as cultural centers in which to rear patriotic and Clod-fearing children worthy of the loftiest ideals. Instead of a brief history, this band of music lovers is entitled to a fdsized, two volume publication to report ad* quately all that they have given to the education of young people along cdtural lines and to the wealth of Tulsa and the State of Oklahoma as expressed in the leadership and influence of the known and unknown contributors. Looking over the names of world famous artists that have appeared on its early programs and in its annual Spring Festivals, the words of Warner Van Valkenburg are a fitting tribute and introduction even to this brief history of Tulsa's pioneer organization of music lovers :l "I AM MUSIC. "I am the hymns of the Christian Martyrs in the catacombs; I am the songs of thanksgiving of the kneeling Pilgrime; I am the fugues of Bach, and the oratorios of Handel and Haydn; I am the magic flute of Momrt; I am the immortal symphonies of Beethoven; I am the throbbing mee- sages of Schubert and Schumann; I am the nocturnes of Chopin and the folk melodies of Dvorak; I am the rhapsodies of Linzt and the music- dramas of Wagner; I am the voice of Peter Tchaikowski, crying in the wilderness; I am Brahms and Richard Straues, and Verdi, fulfilling the command of destiny; yea I have breathed upon the harps of MacDowell and Cadman, and have sung of a new world in the west.

  • Forgotten Splendour
    FORGOTTEN SPLENDOUR A Chronology of the North Shore Music Festival 1909 to 1939 by Andrew Cottonaro Beginning in 1909 and lasting until 1939, the North Shore Music Festival of Northwestern University was a significant musical and social event in the Chicago area. For a few days each Spring, the campus hosted a diverse body of performers in a series of grand concerts. Naturally, some of that era’s most eminent singers could be heard there. Their presence certainly helped to sell tickets and their artistry helped to sustain the festival as a popular and critical success. Now, sixty years later, the festival hardly even counts as a faded memory. To date, two books (in part), offer a general outline of the festival’s history, but both lack any detailed analysis of who appeared and what was actually sung. This is the first attempt to present a chronology of the vocal offerings (quite distinct from the orchestral offerings) at the festival. Northwestern University, the official sponsor of the festival, is located in Evanston, Illinois (USA). The town is a suburb of Chicago, directly north of the city and on the banks of Lake Michigan. Because of this geographic position, Evanston and the other cities of the area are called the North Shore, hence the origin of the festival’s name. Northwestern University was incorporated in 1850 and gradually won recognition for its academic excellence. The establishment of musical studies, however, was a tangled web of many failed efforts. In a final and desperate attempt to salvage musical education, the university’s board of trustees in 1891 appointed Peter Christian Lutkin (1858-1931) to direct musical studies, a post that he held until his death.

Pre­ ceded by MOZART: Il Re pastore--L'amero sero costante; Alleluia (with BBC Symphony; Sir Henry Wood, conductor, 8 September 1936). IGI 274 (Educational Media Association, P. 0. Box 921, Berkeley, California 94701) These lectures have been around before as EJS 328. Schumann opens with some general remarks on singing and teaching in rather quaint but perfectly clear and understandable English. She sings each song through, then offers a few points on interpretation. She places strong emphasis on the importance of the words. There are points about the art of coloring the voice, about breath control and vowel sounds. In Morgen, she says, the singer must be "singing" mentally from the beginning of the prelude, so that when she comes in she is already with it. One remembers her as one of the few singers who really did this. Also in this song, she speaks of the importance of counting the rests in the final lines. Her voice in 1950 was by no means what it had been, but some of the old sparkle was still there, even when the going was not easy. She concludes her talk with encouragement to the young singer - don't worry - have confidence. The lecture is preceded by the Re pastore aria and the Alleluia in a public performance, complete with tumultuous applause. L'amero is less fresh vocally than in her earlier commercial recording; the old radiance is there in the upper voice, but the bottom is rather weak.

  • An Exploration of the Vocal
    THE VOICE OF SAMSON: AN EXPLORATION OF THE VOCAL WRITING IN GILBERT DUPREZ’S OPERA SAMSON by GARRETT ERWIN TORBERT PAUL H. HOUGHTALING, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOANNA COBB BIERMANN DAVID TAYLOE AMIR ZAHERI LUVADA A. HARRISON DIANE BOYD SCHULTZ A DOCUMENT Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the School of Music in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2019 Copyright Garrett Erwin Torbert 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The purpose of this document is to discuss the vocal writing and performance practice of Samson, a Grand Opera by Gilbert Duprez. This document contains a performing edition of selected recitatives and arias from the incomplete score from 1837. The edition includes the orchestral accompaniment, French text, an original English translation, and an annotated score of Duprez and his brother, Édouard original manuscript from the Harvard Theatre Collection located in the Houghton Library at Harvard University. In the nineteenth century, Gilbert Duprez was an internationally-renowned tenor from Paris who demonstrated exceptional gifts as a singer, influencing a generation of tenors following his career. His success in the nineteenth century impacted the tenor technique as he gained much popularity studying in Italy and achieving success from his vocal development there. He reached a major feat in 1837 after returning from his studies in Italy by singing the first, full chested high [C5] on stage at the Paris Opera in Rossini’s Guillaume Tell. From this he created a shift in the tenor technique and impacted the output of tenor repertoire for years to come.
