TANGLEWOOD The Berkshire Festival In August 1934, a group of music-loving summer residents of the Berkshires organized a series of three outdoor concerts at Interlaken, to be given by members of the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Henry Hadley. The venture was so successful that the promoters incorporated the Berkshire Symphonic Festival and repeated the experiment during the next summer. The Festival Committee then invited Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra to take part in the following year's concerts. The orchestra's Trustees accepted, and on 13 August 1936 the Boston Symphony gave its first concerts in the Berkshires (at Holmwood, a former Vanderbilt estate, later the Center at Foxhollow). The series again consisted of three concerts and was given under a large tent, drawing a total of nearly 15,000 people. In the winter of 1936, Mrs. Gorham Brooks and Miss Mary Aspinwall Tappan offered Tanglewood, the Tappan family estate, with its buildings and 210 acres of lawns and meadows, as a gift to Koussevitzky and the orchestra. The offer was gratefully accepted, and on 5 August 1937 the Festival's largest crowd so far assembled under a tent for the first Tanglewood concert, an all-Beethoven program. At the all-Wagner concert which opened the 1937 festival's second weekend, rain and thunder twice interrupted the performance of the Rienzi Overture and necessitated the omission altogether of the Siegfried Idyll, music too delicate to be heard through the downpour. At the intermission, Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith, one ot the festival's founders, made a fundraising appeal for the building of a permanent structure. The appeal was broadened by means of a printed circular handed out at the two remaining concerts, and within a short time enough money had been raised to begin active planning for a "music pavilion." Plans for the Shed were drawn up by the eminent architect Eliel Saarinen, and, as modified by Josef Franz of Stockbridge, who also directed construction, it was completed on 16 June 1938, a month ahead of schedule. Seven weeks later, Serge Koussevitzky led the inaugural concert, which featured a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. By 1941, the Theatre-Concert Hall, the Chamber Music Hall, and several small studios — all part of the Berkshire Music Center, which had begun operations the preceding year — were finished, and the festival had so expanded its activities and its reputation for excellence that it attracted nearly 100,000 visitors. Today Tanglewood annually draws close to a quarter of a million visitors; in addition to the twenty-four regular concerts of the Boston Symphony, there are weekly chamber music concerts, "Prelude" concerts and open rehearsals, the annual Festival of Contemporary Music, and almost daily concerts by the gifted young musicians of the Berkshire Music Center. The Boston Pops performs each summer, and the festival also includes a series of concerts by popular artists. The season offers not only a vast quantity of music but also a vast range of musical forms and styles, all of it presented with a regard for artistic excellence that makes the festival unique. The Berkshire Music Center Tanglewood is much more than a pleasant, outdoor, summer concert hall; it is also the site of one of the most influential centers for advanced musical study in the United States. Here, the Berkshire Music Center, which has been maintained by the Boston Symphony Orchestra ever since its establishment under the leadership of Serge Koussevitzky in 1940, provides a wide range of specialized training and experience for young musicians from all over the world.

  • The Politics of Verdi's Cantica
    The Politics of Verdi’s Cantica The Politics of Verdi’s Cantica treats a singular case study of the use of music to resist oppression, combat evil, and fight injustice. Cantica, better known as Inno delle nazioni / Hymn of the Nations, commissioned from Italy’s foremost composer to represent the newly independent nation at the 1862 London International Exhibition, served as a national voice of pride and of protest for Italy across two centuries and in two very different political situations. The book unpacks, for the first time, the full history of Verdi’s composition from its creation, performance, and publication in the 1860s through its appropriation as purposeful social and political commentary and of its perception by American broadcast media as a ‘weapon of art’ in the mid twentieth century. Based on largely untapped primary archival and other documentary sources, journalistic writings, and radio and film scripts, the project discusses the changing meanings of the composition over time. It not only unravels the complex history of the work in the nineteenth century, of greater significance it offers the first fully documented study of the performances, radio broadcast, and filming of the work by the renowned Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini during World War II. In presenting new evidence about ways in which Verdi’s music was appropriated by expatriate Italians and the United States government for cross-cultural propaganda in America and in Italy, it addresses the intertwining of Italian and American culture with regard to art, politics, and history; and investigates the ways in which the press and broadcast media helped construct a musical weapon that traversed ethnic, aesthetic, and temporal boundaries to make a strong political statement.

  • Steve Hoddell
    Desert Island Discs – Steve Hoddell I would estimate that there are several hundred pieces of music that I would miss should I be marooned on a desert island, so the choice of just eight is a serious challenge. There are, of course, some pieces that I would be more or less willing to go to a desert island in order never to have to hear them again, a list which is headed by the Radetzky March by Johann Strauss. In compiling this list, I have cheated, in that I decided to exclude pieces already chosen by others. That takes out the Bach – Second Partita for Unaccompanied Violin, of which the final movement, the Chaconne is probably my all time number one. It also removes Sibelius Symphony No 7, which in reality I would be hard put to to do without. The eight that remain are therefore: (1) Verdi – Falstaff. His last opera; throughout the time he was composing this he insisted that it was not for performance but merely for his own pleasure. Fortunately it was then performed, and it remains one of the finest comic operas ever written. Julian Budden, writing about operas based on Shakespeare many years ago, placed them in three categories. Category 1 – those where the opera is a greater work than the play; Category 2, those where the two are of equivalent standing; and Category 3 where the opera is inferior to the play. The occupants of each category were intriguing. In category 1 there was one opera, Verdi’s Falstaff. In category 2 there was one opera, Verdi’s Otello; all other operas based on Shakespeare were dismissed into category 3.

  • Giacomo Puccini – Quartetto in D” Per Archi
    Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov Series VIII: Performing Arts • Vol. 11 (60) No. 1 – 2018 Giacomo Puccini – Quartetto in D” per archi Raluca TONESCU (IRIMIA)1 Abstract: Giacomo Puccini’s works for a string quartet are: three minutes, the Crisantemi elegy and the String Quartet in D Major, which is the only complete piece we have. This work has four parts and was composed between 1881 and 1883, when Puccini was studying at Milan Conservatory. This quartet was first published in its complete version by the Italian publishing house Casa Ricordi. All four parts of the Quartet were discovered in different places, either as manuscripts or as transcriptions for other chamber works made by his younger brother, Michele Puccini. The fact that all these parts were put together in one piece has been subject of thorough research, of which Dieter Schickling is the most important. In his volume about Puccini, The works of Giacomo Puccini. A complete catalogue, he describes all the composer’s manuscripts in detail. Key-words: Giacomo Puccini, quartetto in D. 1. Introduction String Quartet's history indicates the first signs of the occurrence of the Quartet as genre in the compositions of Giuseppe Tartini and Alessandro Scarlatti, as sonatas a quarto from their creations, VII-VIII century (Bughici 1978, 88). If Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) is for the Symphony and for piano sonatas a guide on the way of completion, for the String Quartet he is the creator. The structure of the beginning Quartets is five parts: allegro-adagio-allegro-minuet- minuet- allegro finale, and after only a few years, starting with op.
