  • «Je Me Figurais Être Orphée», Wrote Countess Sophie Fersen After At- Tending a Performance of Christoph Gluck's Orpheus Oc
    Women in love: Gluck’s Orpheus as a source of romantic consolation in Vienna, Paris, and Stockholm JOHN A. RICE ABSTRACT Among those who witnessed early performances of Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice were Princess Isabelle of Parma, Julie de Lespinasse, and Countess Sophie Fersen. Orpheus, and the music Gluck wrote for him, stirred up similar responses in these passionate young women, all of whom found in the protagonist’s tragic plight consolation for own romantic yearning. This paper explores their emotio- nal states, as documented in their letters, and offers some explanations for their identification with a male character from Greek mythology, as brought to life by Gluck’s music and the men who sang it. «Je me figurais être Orphée», wrote Countess Sophie Fersen after at- tending a performance of Christoph Gluck’s Orpheus och Euridice in Stockholm in 1777. She was writing to a man with whom she had been involved in a brief and passionate love affair, and who had just left Sweden. Countess Fersen was not the only young woman who found romantic consolation in Gluck’s Orpheus. Already during the first run of performances in 1762, Princess Isabelle of Parma, recently married to Archduke (later Emperor) Joseph, wrote mournfully to her sister-in-law Marie Christine, whose company she much preferred to Joseph’s. Isabelle identified herself with Orpheus as a way of express- ing the depth and hopelessness of her love. And shortly after the première of the Paris version in 1774, Julie de Lespinasse wrote to her beloved Comte de Guibert, who was far from Paris, that she found a mixture of pain and pleasure in Gluck’s opera: «Je voudrois entendre dix fois par jour cet air qui me déchire, et qui me fait jouir de tout ce que je regrette: j’ai perdu mon Euridice».

  • A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
    A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources.

  • PRESSQUOTES Hanna-Liisa Kirchin
    PRESSQUOTES Hanna-Liisa Kirchin MEZZO SOPRANO Orfeo / Orfeo ed Euridice / Longborough Festival Opera / 2017 Cond. Jeremy Silver / Dir. Maria Jagusz “Her voice is fascinating: sweet and powerful, it had a plangent, matte finish that really did make her sound like something between a countertenor and a more conventional mezzo. In a role originally written for a castrato, and embodying a figure from myth, it was simultaneously strange and wonderfully fitting – heightened by the grace with which Kirchin walked the line between classical dignity and raw, wrenching pain.” (The Crtics’ Circle / Richard Bratby) “Hanna-Liisa Kirchin brings human nobility and ardour as Orfeo in lamenting the death of Euridice, which does not relent either as he undergoes the trial of leading her out of Hades whilst attempting to avoid the temptation of turning around to her, or in his final triumph." (Classicalsource / Curtis Rogers) “Hanna-Liisa Kirchin sang with heart on her sleeve emotion to carry the opera as Orfeo ... her ‘Che farò senza Euridice? was the grief-stricken highlight it must be.” (Seen & Heard International / Jim Pritchard) “As the mythic quester, Hanna-Liisa Kirchin displayed a mezzo which is not huge but which is sweet-toned and expressive. Interestingly, my guest remarked that at first he was uncertain whether Orfeo was being sung by a countertenor or a mezzo, for Kirchin’s voice does have an unusual colour - one which was most effective in a role initially taken by the castrato Gaetano Guadagni... Kirchin worked hard in ‘Che farò senza Euridice’: her voicing of loss was dignified and imbued with wrenching pain...” (Opera Today / Claire Seymour) "...and with a superb central performance as Orfeo movingly sung and acted by mezzo Hanna- Liisa Kirchin who clearly has a stellar career ahead of her.

  • Los Castrados
    LOS CASTRADOS “Mi querido niño [...] os diré con términos más insinuantes que debéis haceros pulir mediante una ligera operación, que os asegurará por mucho tiempo la delicadeza de vuestro cutis y la belleza de vuestra voz para toda la vida...” Charles de Saint-Evremond, 1685 Por Doña Juana La Loca Los castrados (castrati), evirados o i musicci, es como se denominó a aquellos niños a los que se les retiró los testículos antes de la pubertad, antes del desarrollo sexual secundario y que trajo consigo voces de una belleza sublime, los menos, así como infinidad de desgraciados infantes que fueron despreciados hasta el fin de sus días. En el siglo XVI, la iglesia no permitía que las mujeres cantaran en público y esto asociado a que los compositores de cámara empezaron a incluir complejas polifonías, en las cuales los niños empezaban a tener problemas para interpretarlas, ya que cuando todavía llegaban a los agudos no tenían la fuerza requerida y cuando adquirían esa fuerza durante la pubertad la ascensión al agudo se tornaba en sonidos galleados. El problema empezó a solucionarse con la traída, a la Capilla Sixtina, de españoles falsetistas, de los cuales se sospechaba que muchos de ellos eran ya castrados. Los rumores apuntaban a que ya hubo castrados en el coro de la iglesia de San Pedro de Roma desde 1533, pero fue a partir de 1589 cuando el papa Sixto V expidió una bula para la castración, pues cualquier tipo de mutilación estaba castigada por la propia iglesia salvo para salvar la vida, hecho que permitió la entrada de cuatro castrati a dicho coro.

Funzionava, contemporaneamente alla “stanza delle Commedie”, e con analoga destinazione a luogo teatrale, un altro sito della Comunità: la vicina costru- zione delle vecchie beccherie, andata da poco in disuso. Essa ospitava, a differenza della “stanza delle Comme- die” (destinata al teatro serio, “ufficiale”), le recite degli istrioni, ovvero degli attori del teatro dell’Arte. In quel periodo, l’élite dirigente dell’aristocrazia di corte e della borghesia frequentava il colto teatro “ufficiale”, mentre il ceto degli artigiani e dei bottegai preferiva il semplice e popolare teatro dell’Arte. La “sala delle Commedie” fu poi, nel corso del secolo XVII, ampliata e adattata a vero e proprio teatro in sen- so moderno, con palcoscenico e palchi. Nel 1740 un in- cendio la distrusse completamente e, con l’occasione, il locale fu venduto al Santo Monte di Pietà, che già occu- pava il palazzo.

  • Call for Papers Luigi Marchesi (1754-1829), “Ocean of Sopranos”: Career of a Castrato Singer
    CALL FOR PAPERS LUIGI MARCHESI (1754-1829), “OCEAN OF SOPRANOS”: CAREER OF A CASTRATO SINGER Bergamo, October 16-17, 2015 CFP deadline: March 30, 2015 Luigi Marchesi was one of the most famous singers of the second half of the Eighteenth Century, acclaimed performer of operas by Pasquale An- fossi, Domenico Cimarosa, Alessandro Tarchi, Johann Simon Mayr, Nic- colò Zingarelli, Antonio Salieri, Giuseppe Sarti, Francesco Bianchi, Josef Mysliveček, etc. The brilliant career of this emblematic castrato spread across Europe: enormous triumphs throughout Italy were followed by travels to St. Peter- sburg, London, Warsaw and Vienna. Thanks to his incredible coloratura, a legendary range, and a dazzling singing technique, Marchesi proved himself to be the perfect performer for extremely virtuosic and heroic roles. With Rubinelli and Pacchierotti he was universally considered one of the most important singers of his time. Marchesi was also fiercely criticized: his style in embellishments and his acting became topics for discussions strongly influenced by the incipient sunset of the castrati era in theatres. Stile Galante (Amsterdam) wishes to dedicate to Luigi Marchesi a two-day international conference, to be held in Bergamo on October 16-17, 2015. CONFERENCE BOARD Nicholas Baragwanath (University of Nottingham) Rosa Cafiero (Università Cattolica di Milano) Damien Colas (CNRS) Paolo Fabbri (Università degli Studi di Ferrara) Giulia Giovani (Centro Studi sulla Cantata Italiana) Claudio Toscani (Università degli Studi di Milano). The international conference Luigi Marchesi, “Ocean of Sopranos”: Career of a Castrato Singer is a part of The Luigi Marchesi Project (<www.luigimarchesimusic.com>). Conference proceedings are going to be published by February 2016.

Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded its program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By midcentury, the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program— trade books and college texts—were firmly established.
