  • Syphilis' Impact on Late Works of Classical Music Composers
    SYPHILIS’ IMPACT ON LATE WORKS OF CLASSICAL MUSIC COMPOSERS Rempelakos L1, Poulakou-Rebelakou E1, Tsiamis C1, Rempelakos A2 1History of Medicine, Athens University Medical School, Athens, Greece 2Urologic Department, Hippocrateion Hospital, Athens, Greece INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVE: To present the effects of the tertiary stage syphilis on the last works of some famous European classical music composers who suffered from the disease. METHODS: The review of the biographies of seven documented syphilis cases of composers, focusing on the events of their last period of life and the review of the critics for their artistic expression under disease-affected circumstances. RESULTS: The 19th century is undeniably considered as the golden age of classical music but, at the same time, some of the most famous composers were victims of this disease-menace, strongly stigmatizing themselves and their families, the latter trying to keep the shameful secret, aftermath destructing sources and documents. Seven cases of musicians with syphilis have been studied: Franz Schubert died at the age of 31, while Robert Schumann and Hugo Wolf (age at death 46 and 43 respectively), both attempted suicide and passed the rest of their lives in insane asylums. Moreover, Gaetano Donizetti infected his wife, Virginia, who died in childbirth before his own death occurring between catatonic symptoms and bouts of persecution mania. Bedrich Smetana predicted his death entitling his composition “final page” and indeed, he did not compose anymore and died soon in a mental asylum. Frederick Delius lived for fifteen years blind and paralyzed dictating his scores to a young follower of his music, although the quality of the late compositions cannot be compared with the priors.

  • Le Saxophone: La Voix De La Musique Moderne an Honors
    Le Saxophone: La Voix de La Musique Moderne An Honors Thesis by Nathan Bancroft Bogert Dr. George Wolfe Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2008 May 3, 2008 Co Abstract This project was designed to display the versatility of the concert saxophone. In order to accomplish this lofty goal, a very diverse selection of repertoire was chosen to reflect the capability of the saxophone to adapt to music of all different styles and time periods. The compositions ranged from the Baroque period to even a new composition written specifically for this occasion (written by BSU School of Music professor Jody Nagel). The recital was given on February 21, 2008 in Sursa Hall on the Ball State University campus. This project includes a recording of the performance; both original and compiled program notes, and an in-depth look into the preparation that went into this project from start to finish. Acknowledgements, I would like to thank Dr. George Wolfe for his continued support of my studies and his expert guidance. Dr. Wolfe has been an incredible mentor and has continued his legacy as a teacher of the highest caliber. I owe a great deal of my success to Dr. Wolfe as he has truly made countless indelible impressions on my individual artistry. I would like to thank Dr. James Ruebel of the Ball State Honors College for his dedication to Ball State University. His knowledge and teaching are invaluable, and his dedication to his students are tings that make him the outstanding educator that he is. I would like to thank the Ball State School of Music faculty for providing me with so many musical opportunities during my time at Ball State University.

  • Disability and Music
    th nd 19 November to 22 December UKDHM 2018 will focus on Disability and Music. We want to explore the links between the experience of disablement in a world where the barriers faced by people with impairments can be overwhelming. Yet the creative impulse, urge for self expression and the need to connect to our fellow human beings often ‘trumps’ the oppression we as disabled people have faced, do face and will face in the future. Each culture and sub-culture creates identity and defines itself by its music. ‘Music is the language of the soul. To express ourselves we have to be vibrating, radiating human beings!’ Alasdair Fraser. Born in Salford in 1952, polio survivor Alan Holdsworth goes by the stage name ‘Johnny Crescendo’. His music addresses civil rights, disability pride and social injustices, making him a crucial voice of the movement and one of the best-loved performers on the disability arts circuit. In 1990 and 1992, Alan co- organised Block Telethon, a high-profile media and community campaign which culminated in the demise of the televised fundraiser. His albums included Easy Money, Pride and Not Dead Yet, all of which celebrate disabled identity and critique disabling barriers and attitudes. He is best known for his song Choices and Rights, which became the anthem for the disabled people’s movement in Britain in the late 1980s and includes the powerful lyrics: Choices and Right That’s what we gotta fight for Choices and rights in our lives I don’t want your benefit I want dignity from where I sit I want choices and rights in our lives I don’t want you to speak for me I got my own autonomy I want choices and rights in our lives https://youtu.be/yU8344cQy5g?t=14 The polio virus attacked the nerves.
