The Overture begins with the quiet beat of a predominating: Jolicoeur’s opening strutting military Overtures • 4 2 side drum, and gradually the whole orchestra joins in, dotted rhythms, Guillaume’s assertion of his faith in the Daniel-François-Esprit Auber, a beautiful name to conjure Act II: Entr’acte et Introduction (Allegro, C major, 3/4) creating the effect of an approaching procession which efficacy of the philtre with its characteristic leaping fifths, with, was one of the most famous composers of the 19th then passes on into the distance. A trumpet call initiates a the conclusion of the trio in thirds – a proleptic suggestion century. Working with his lifelong collaborator, the A drum beat initiates a military march, slightly chromatic, strenuous passage, leading into a sprightly tune for the of the union of Thérèsine and Guillaume. The opera renowned dramatist and librettist Eugène Scribe (1791– with strong brass. A figure adapted from the Overture with woodwind over pizzicato strings, followed by a dance-like remained popular in Paris until 1862, with 243 performances. 1861), he gave definitive form to the uniquely French woodwinds in thirds is briefly developed, and repeated as section for the whole orchestra.

Verdian Musicodramatic Expression in Un Ballo in Maschera
VERDIAN MUSICODRAMATIC EXPRESSION IN UN BALLO IN MASCHERA A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTERS OF MUSIC BY JERRY POLMAN DR. CRAIG PRIEBE – ADVISER BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2010 | 1 On September 19, 1857, Giuseppe Verdi wrote to the impresario at San Carlo that he was “in despair.” He was commissioned to write an opera for the 1858 carnival season but could not find what he deemed a suitable libretto. For many years he desired to compose an opera based on Shakespeare‟s King Lear but he deemed the singers in Naples to be inadequate for the task. Nevertheless, he writes in the same letter that he is now “…condensing a French drama, Gustave III di Svezia, libretto by Scribe, given at the [Paris Grand Opéra with music by Auber] about twenty years ago [1833]. It is grand and vast; it is beautiful; but this too has the conventional forms of all works for music, something which I have never liked and I now find unbearable. I repeat, I am in despair, because it is too late to find other subjects.”1 Despite finding it “unbearable” Verdi continued to work on Gustave, calling on the talents of Antonia Somma to write the libretto. However, Verdi did not foresee the intense scrutiny that would be leveled against it. Upon receiving word from Vincenzo Torelli (the impresario of the San Carlo Opera House), that nothing less than a new production would suffice to fulfill his contract, Verdi and Somma set to work immediately on Gustave. -
Le Cheval De Bronze De Daniel Auber
GALERÍA DE RAREZAS Le cheval de bronze de Daniel Auber por Ricardo Marcos oy exploraremos una sala encantadora, generosamente iluminada, con grandes mesas en donde podemos degustar algunos de los chocolates franceses más sofisticados y deliciosos, de esta galería de rarezas operísticas. El compositor en cuestión gozó de la gloria operística y fue el segundo director en la historia del Conservatorio de París. Su Hmusa es ligera e irresistible, si bien una de sus grandes creaciones es una obra dramática. Durante la década de 1820 París se convirtió en el centro del mundo musical gracias en gran medida a tres casas de ópera emblemáticas; La Opéra de Paris, la Opéra Comique y el Thêatre Italien. Daniel Auber, quien había estudiado con Luigi Cherubini, se convirtió en el gran señor de la ópera cómica y habría de ser modelo para compositores como Adolphe Adam, Francois Bazin y Victor Masse, entre otros. Dotado desde pequeño para la música, Auber había aprendido a tocar violín y el piano pero fue hasta 1811 en que perfeccionó sus estudios musicales y se dedicó de tiempo completo a la composición. Entre sus mejores obras dentro del campo de la ópera cómica se encuentran joyas como Fra Diavolo y Le domino noir; sin embargo, hay una obra más para completar un trío de obras maestras que, junto con las grandes óperas La muette de Portici, Haydée y Gustave III, conforman lo mejor de su producción. Estrenada el 23 de marzo de 1835, con un libreto de Eugène Scribe, el sempiterno libretista francés de la primera mitad del siglo XIX, El caballo de bronce es una obra deliciosa por la vitalidad de sus duetos, ensambles y la gracia de sus arias, muchas de ellas demandantes; con dos roles brillantes para soprano, uno para tenor, uno para barítono y uno para bajo. -
Stephanie Schroedter Listening in Motion and Listening to Motion. the Concept of Kinaesthetic Listening Exemplified by Dance Compositions of the Meyerbeer Era
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Berner Fachhochschule: ARBOR Stephanie Schroedter Listening in Motion and Listening to Motion. The Concept of Kinaesthetic Listening Exemplified by Dance Compositions of the Meyerbeer Era Musical life in Paris underwent profound and diverse changes between the July Monar- chy and the Second Empire. One reason for this was the availability of printed scores for a broader public as an essential medium for the distribution of music before the advent of mechanical recordings. Additionally, the booming leisure industry encouraged music commercialization, with concert-bals and café-concerts, the precursors of the variétés, blurring the boundaries between dance and theatre performances. Therefore there was not just one homogeneous urban music culture, but rather a number of different music, and listening cultures, each within a specific urban setting. From this extensive field I will take a closer look at the music of popular dance or, more generally, movement cultures. This music spanned the breadth of cultural spaces, ranging from magnificent ballrooms – providing the recognition important to the upper-classes – to relatively modest dance cafés for those who enjoyed physical exercise above social distinction. Concert halls and musical salons provided a venue for private audiences who preferred themoresedateactivityoflisteningtostylized dance music rather than dancing. Café- concerts and popular concert events offered diverse and spectacular entertainment -
L'autorité, 5 Octobre 1895, Pp
JOURNAL DES DÉBATS, 10 septembre 1860, pp. 1–2. Encore quelques jours, et nous aurons traversé cet été si exceptionnel de 1860; ce ne sont pas, au reste, les directeurs de théâtres qui auront eu à s’en plaindre. Pour eux, les beaux yeux de leur cassette embellissent bien des journées sombres, éclaircissent bien des brouillards, chassent bien des nuages, dorent bien des soirées pluvieuses en manière de soleil couchant. La plus belle saison, pour eux, est celle qui empêche les bons habitans de Paris de se livrer aux goûts immodérés de la villégiature, et d’aller le soir flâner sous les ombrages des îles du bois de Boulogne ou sur les bords du lac. MM. les propriétaires des bains de rivière ne sont peut-être pas de cet avis. Mais qu’importe! chacun pour soi dans ce bas monde. Un de nos amis nous racontait une excellente scène qui s’est passée le mois dernier dans un restaurant du boulevard. La dame du comptoir s’est vue sur le point de requérir la présence d’un piquet de la garde nationale ou d’une escouade de sérgens de ville pour mettre d’accord deux interlocuteurs qui, de tous les sujets de conversation, avaient choisi à coup sûr le plus banal et le plus innocent: la pluie et le beau temps. Il faut vous dire que l’un de ces interlocuteurs était un directeur de théâtre, et l’autre propriétaire d’un établissement de bains. On vit le moment où ces messieurs allaient se jeter les carafes à la tête. -

Thesis Final
ABSTRACT Abbé Prévost’s novel L’Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut (1731) has inspired at least four operas, notably by Daniel Auber, Jules Massenet, Giacomo Puccini, and Hans Werner Henze. This study will look at the three nineteenth- century operas based on that novel: Auber’s Manon Lescaut (1856), Massenet’s Manon (1884), and Puccini’s Manon Lescaut (1893). Massenet’s treatment receives the most attention because it is the most popular, and arguably the most well-known, of the three operas. I will discuss Manon’s role in the novel and operas, and its impact on the dramatic conception of each work. In the three operas I will examine her arias and other music, and her relationships with other characters. The goal is to gain a better understanding of each composer’s interpretation of Prévost’s heroine and to explore why Manon is different in each work. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Marcia Citron, Dr. Walter Bailey, and Dr. Gregory Barnett for their support and encouragement. Dr. Citron’s wisdom and experience has been invaluable throughout this process. I thank Dr. Bailey and Dr. Barnett for their assistance and insightful suggestions. I am grateful for Robert Nelson’s help with translations. Finally, I am indebted to Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music for the financial support that helped make this study possible.
