  • WAGNER and the VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’S Works Is More Closely Linked with Old Norse, and More Especially Old Icelandic, Culture
    WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation. Wolfgang Wagner Introduction to the program of the production of the Ring in Reykjavik, 1994 Selma Gu›mundsdóttir, president of Richard-Wagner-Félagi› á Íslandi, pre- senting Wolfgang Wagner with a facsimile edition of the Codex Regius of the Poetic Edda on his eightieth birthday in Bayreuth, August 1999.

    THEOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL ANTI-SEMITISM MANIFESTING INTO POLITICAL ANTI-SEMITISM MARTIN M. VAN BRAUMAN The Lord appeared to Solomon at night and said to him I have heard your prayer and I have chosen this place to be a Temple of offering for Me. If I ever restrain the heavens so that there will be no rain, or if I ever command locusts to devour the land, or if I ever send a pestilence among My people, and My people, upon whom My Name is proclaimed, humble themselves and pray and seek My presence and repent of their evil ways – I will hear from Heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:12-14. Political anti-Semitism represents the ideological weapon used by totalitarian movements and pseudo-religious systems.1 Norman Cohn in Warrant for Genocide: The Myth of the Jewish World-Conspiracy and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion wrote that during the Nazi years “the drive to exterminate the Jews sprang from demonological superstitions inherited from the Middle Ages.”2 The myth of the Jewish world-conspiracy developed out of demonology and inspired the pathological fantasy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which was used to stir up the massacres of Jews during the Russian civil war and then was adopted by Nazi ideology and later by Islamic theology.3 Most people see anti-Semitism only as political and cultural anti-Semitism, whereas the hidden, most deeply rooted and most dangerous source of the evil has been theological anti-Semitism stemming historically from Christian dogma and adopted by and intensified with

  • Ludwig, a King on the Moon Madeleine Louarn Frédéric
    LUDWIG, A KING ON THE MOON A mad and legendary king, a king who never really wanted to be king, Ludwig EN II of Bavaria is as admired today as he was despised and misunderstood / during his reign. The man who wrote “I wish to remain an eternal enigma to myself and to others” succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. It is this mysterious and explosive character that Madeleine Louarn and her handicapped actors, with whom she has been working for over 20 years, have decided to put at the centre of their next show. With their faithful companions, writer Frédéric Vossier, composer Rodolphe Burger, and choreographers Loïc Touzé and Agnieszka Ryszkiewicz, they explore the fantasies and dreams of this most romantic of kings. A multi-faceted king, Ludwig II questioned the border between “normal” and “abnormal” and sought to live to the end the excessive lyricism of romanticism as a critique of modern life. The actors of the Catalyse workshop follow the slow disintegration of the monarch, his progressive withdrawal from real life and into a world of fiction. From this downfall, they create a journey into the mind of Ludwig II, and build a landscape-play in which nature, arts, and excess all lead to the fantastic. MADELEINE LOUARN It is as a special needs educator that Madeleine Louarn discovered theatre in a centre for the mentally handicapped in Morlaix. There, she created the Catalyse workshop, dedicated to amateur performance, before deciding to dedicate herself fully to her job as a director and to found in 1994 her professional company, the Théâtre de l’Entresort.

The Cube and the Cathedral: Europe, America and Politics Without God George Weigel , Joanne J. Myers September 15, 2005 Introduction Remarks Questions and Answers Introduction JOANNE MYERS: Good morning. I'm Joanne Myers, and on behalf of the Carnegie Council, I want to welcome you to our 2005-2006 season. The Cube and the Cathedral: Europe, As you are aware, there are a few changes at the Carnegie Council. The name America and Politics Without God by George "Merrill House Programs" has been changed to "Public Affairs." But please note that Weigel we will continue, as we have done in the past, to host speakers with the expertise and insight that you have come to rely on. Also this year you will notice that, while continuing to look at the challenges presented by our changing political, economic, and cultural environment, within our Public Affairs Programs we have chosen to focus on two main topics: religion and the American military power. For the first lecture in our "Religion in Politics" series we are very pleased to welcome George Weigel, a Catholic theologian who is also known as a leading thinker on Just War and democratic institutions. As the NBC news consultant for Vatican affairs, his voice was a familiar one last April, as the world watched and waited for news about Pope John Paul's death and the election of his successor, Pope Benedict XVI. Mr. Weigel is the author of Witness to Hope: The Biography of Pope John Paul II, which was published to international acclaim and translated into at least eleven languages.

  • The Influence of Ludwig Feuerbach's Philosophy
    1 THE INFLUENCE OF LUDWIG FEUERBACH’S PHILOSOPHY UPON THE LIBRETTO OF RICHARD WAGNER’S MUSIC-DRAMA ‘PARSIFAL’ By Paul Heise Research Consultant – The Richard Wagner Society of Florida [email protected] Home Tel: 727-343-0365 Home Add: 2001 55TH St. South Gulfport, FL 33707 ELABORATION OF A TALK PRESENTED TO THE BOSTON WAGNER SOCIETY ON 5/30/07, AT THE WELLESLEY FREE LIBRARY While it is well known that the atheist German philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach’s influence upon Richard Wagner’s libretto for his music-drama The Ring of The Nibelung is great, it is usually assumed that Feuerbach’s influence upon Wagner’s writings and operas dropped off radically after his 1854 conversion to the pessimist philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer. For this reason the librettos of Wagner’s other mature music- dramas completed after 1854, namely, Tristan and Isolde, The Mastersingers of Nuremberg, and Parsifal, are widely regarded as expressions of Wagner’s post-1854 Schopenhauerian phase. It is therefore quite surprising to find in key passages from the libretto of Wagner’s last work for the theater, Parsifal, a remarkable dependence on Feuerbachian concepts. This paper will examine that influence closely. A familiarity with the libretto of Parsifal is assumed. This paper has retained all the extracts from Feuerbach’s and Wagner’s writings (and recorded remarks) discussed in my original talk of 5/30/07. However, a number of key extracts which had to be dropped from the talk due to time constraints have been restored, and other extracts added, both to fill in logical gaps in the talk, and also to address certain questions posed by audience members after the talk.

A Message from the Chair Welcome to The Festival of Music 2013 & The 11th Washington International Piano Artists Competition Washington International Piano Arts Council (WIPAC) continues to present this celebration of music in cooperation with The George Washington Music Department, The Kosciuszko Foundation and the Embassies of Bulgaria and Portugal. The path to success in this competition was made easier and manageable by all the special people I met who supported us along the way. May I begin with a special thanks to a very special friend of WIPAC, Her Excellency Elena Poptodorova, Ambassador of Bulgaria, who has been a bright light that shines on that path. Her generosity had no bounds, always welcoming and standing ready to open the door to help us. The Embassy of Bulgaria hosts the Final Round of this year’s competition, even in her unscheduled absence. To all the pianists who came from three continents, my admiration and deep appreciation for your valor, strength, tenacity and hard work, preparing your programs and practicing many hours at the same time as maintaining a busy life of career and family! A toast! John and I consider ourselves very fortunate to be surrounded by dedicated board members and friends who continue to keep our torch burning so that we may give the pianists a place in the sky where they can showcase their amazing talents.
