  • Holy Ghost College Bulletin
    Sanctum 33 1917 a college man wrote some words to be sung to *he tune of an old English hunting song; but both these attempts, while meritorious, lacked something or other that would give a song enduring popularity among the old grads and underclass men. Some telepathic message about this state of affairs must have crossed the Allegheny mountains in the direction of New York, for just before the school year opened Joseph Breil, whom Pitts- burgh and the world knows as the composer of the music for "Intolerance", "The Birth of a Nation", "Cabiria", and other big motion-picture plays, and as the author of a successful grand opera, " The Legend ", was inspired to write as follows to the President of the University : " Back in the middle eighties, in the days of Fathers Power, Griffin, McCabe, Gross, Dangelzer and others, I used to trudge up the Bluff every day to the Pittsburgh College, to get my 'education.' Since then I have developed into a composer of some distinction and am known practically over the world, wherever better music is cultivated. "I am sending you a song of mine; perhaps one of your poets could arrange a text to it, and it could be adopted as the Duquesne University Hymn. I would be pleased to learn that such a thing has been done. " Sincerely yours, "Joseph Carl Breil." It so happens that the new music fits the text sung before the war, without submitting the latter to any fundamental remodeling, and the University will have its wish. The new hymn is the result of the combination.

    HISTORICAL VOCAL RECORDINGS ROSSINI: Le Comte Ory. Michel Roux, basso (Robert); Jeannette Sinclair, soprano (Alice); Juan Oncina, tenor (Count Ory); Monica Sinclair, con­ tralto (Ragonde); Ian Wallace, baritone (The Governor); Cora Canne­ Meijer, mezzo-soprano (Isolier); Sari Barabas, soprano (Countess Adele); Dermot Troy, tenor (A Young Nobleman); The Glyndebourne Festival Or­ chestra and Chorus; Vittorio Gui, conductor. EMI RLS 744. "The delicious Comte Ory," wrote Chorley in 1854, "has, with all the beauty of its music, never been a favorite anywhere. Even in the theater for which it was written, the Grand Oplra of Paris, where it still keeps its place - when Cinti-Damoreau was the heroine - giving to the music all the playfulness, finish, and sweetness which could possibly be given - the work was heard with but a tranquil pleasure ••• " He goes on to blame the libretto (by Scribe and Delaistre-Poirson) which in its day was indeed rather shocking, with Count Ory's "gang" gaining admission, disguised as nuns, to the castle of the Countess he is pursuing - male voices and all! The opera was rediscovered in the 1950's and enjoyed a real success at Glyndebourne in 1954. The recording was made two years later. The New York City Opera finally got around to Le Comte Ory a year or so ago. There are several obvious reasons for the neglect of this gem of an opera. Though the score is full of delights there is no Largo al facto­ tum or Una voce poco fa. The arias are brilliant but not sure fire. It is not a vehicle; the soprano and tenor roles call for virtuosity of a high order, but this is an ensemble opera and no one can take over the spotlight.

  • Cabiria (1931)
    Archivio d’Annunzio [online] ISSN 2421-292X Vol. 4 – Ottobre 2017 [print] ISSN 2421-4213 Dalla ‘compilazione d’autore’ al ‘poema lirico-sinfonico’ La musica per la versione sonorizzata di Cabiria (1931) Emilio Sala (Università degli Studi di Milano, Italia) Abstract Musical accompaniment of films entered a new era as a dramaturgic practice in 1914, thanks to the world-wide success of Cabiria. Giovanni Pastrone’s ‘Dannunzian’ film played an im- portant role in the creation of moving picture orchestras and synchronised scores. Manlio Mazza’s compiled score paved the way to the comparable orchestral accompaniment of D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation (1915), written by Joseph Carl Breil. Nevertheless, scholars have paid insufficient attention to Mazza’s score, which has been overshadowed by the famous Sinfonia del fuoco by Ilde- brando Pizzetti. The latter has been frequently associated with the sacrificial scene in the temple of Moloch and, thus, has been used in modern exhibitions of the film. Despite this spread interpretation, it is important to note that Pizzetti did not write his symphony to score this scene. The misunder- standing leading to this association is due on the one hand to an aesthetic assumption, perhaps a bias, against the practice of compiled scores and, on the other, to some incomprehension concerning the restoration process of this film. In this article I re-examine the vexata quaestio of the relationship between the film and Pizzetti’s Sinfonia del fuoco, by analysing the 1931 sound reissue of Cabiria, which featured a newly composed score by Luigi Avitabile and José Ribas.
