DOLCI by the BAY Concert No. 36 Ted Rust, Oboe — Viva Knight, Piano 1:00 pm Friday, October 17, 2014 Aquatic Park Center, 890 Beach St. DOLCI BY THE BAY Concert No. 36 Ted Rust, oboe — Viva Knight, piano Dolci bel canto For more than a century from the High Baroque through the early Romantic periods, the ideal of vocal style was a light, agile approach to singing called bel canto. Singers tried to emulate the best violinists’ ability to execute rapid scales and ornaments. As singers and actors, they were expected to do all this with beautiful tone while sustaining an expressive melodic line. Volume and projection were of little concern in this style, as the venues were small and the accompanying instruments were generally soft-voiced. The best oboists of the time naturally emulated the great singers with whom they were paired in obbligato parts for most operas and cantatas. Thy developed a bel canto technique for the oboe, which has remained integral to the oboe tradition alongside the more forceful Romantic and clinically precise Modernist styles of playing. The opera composers Vivaldi, Bellini and Donizetti all contributed sonatas and Cecilia Bartoli concertos to the oboe literature to showcase the bel canto Dolci’s goddess of bel canto abilities of the oboists of their time. Sonata in C minor for Oboe and Piano, RV53 Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) Adagio — Allegro — Andante — Allegro Vivaldi wrote 22 concertos for solo oboe with string orchestra, and this one sonata for solo oboe with basso continuo. It was reconstructed for modern oboe and piano by Humbert Lucarelli. Three Italian Love Songs Intorno all’idol mio Marco Antonio Cesti (1620-1669) Se tu m’ami, se sospiri Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736) Plaisir d’amour Padre Giovanni Martini (1741-1816) Sonata in F for Oboe and Piano Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) Andante — Allegro Donizetti was a prominent Italian opera composer, a contemporary and good friend of Rossini, Bellini and the young Verdi. His still-popular works include L’Elisir d’Amour, Anna Bolena and Lucrezia Borgia. NEXT CONCERT: OCTOBER 24 AT AQUATIC PARK .

  • 1 Making the Clarinet Sing
    Making the Clarinet Sing: Enhancing Clarinet Tone, Breathing, and Phrase Nuance through Voice Pedagogy D.M.A Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alyssa Rose Powell, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 D.M.A. Document Committee Dr. Caroline A. Hartig, Advisor Dr. Scott McCoy Dr. Eugenia Costa-Giomi Professor Katherine Borst Jones 1 Copyrighted by Alyssa Rose Powell 2020 2 Abstract The clarinet has been favorably compared to the human singing voice since its invention and continues to be sought after for its expressive, singing qualities. How is the clarinet like the human singing voice? What facets of singing do clarinetists strive to imitate? Can voice pedagogy inform clarinet playing to improve technique and artistry? This study begins with a brief historical investigation into the origins of modern voice technique, bel canto, and highlights the way it influenced the development of the clarinet. Bel canto set the standards for tone, expression, and pedagogy in classical western singing which was reflected in the clarinet tradition a hundred years later. Present day clarinetists still use bel canto principles, implying the potential relevance of other facets of modern voice pedagogy. Singing techniques for breathing, tone conceptualization, registration, and timbral nuance are explored along with their possible relevance to clarinet performance. The singer ‘in action’ is presented through an analysis of the phrasing used by Maria Callas in a portion of ‘Donde lieta’ from Puccini’s La Bohème. This demonstrates the influence of text on interpretation for singers.

We hope that our performances will help restore this witty masterpiece to its rightful place alongside the works of Monteverdi and Cavalli. We are thrilled to have world famous countertenor Drew Minter join us both as a stage director and as Aristea for this production. Sarah JHP Watkins joins our creative team as stage designer.

New to HOC are also Kimberly Jones as Amore/Tibrino and Addie Hamilton as Filosofia/Giacinta. Dan Bubeck makes his Haymarket stage debut as Corindo after his beautiful performances as Stradella’s St. John the Baptist in our first Lenten Oratorio concerts in 2016. As a repertory company, we are so fortunate to regularly feature such fine Chicago artists as Sarah Edgar, Scott Brunscheen, Nathalie Colas, Ryan de Ryke, and Dave Govertsen. We extend a special welcome to virtuoso lutenist Nigel North who joins our Venetian-style orchestra. The whirlwind of activity behind the scenes is almost as operatic as one of our productions.

Cheney Foundation, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation.

  • The Baritone Voice in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries: a Brief Examination of Its Development and Its Use in Handel’S Messiah
    THE BARITONE VOICE IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES: A BRIEF EXAMINATION OF ITS DEVELOPMENT AND ITS USE IN HANDEL’S MESSIAH BY JOSHUA MARKLEY Submitted to the graduate degree program in The School of Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Stephens ________________________________ Dr. Michelle Hayes ________________________________ Dr. Paul Laird ________________________________ Dr. Julia Broxholm ________________________________ Mr. Mark Ferrell Date Defended: 06/08/2016 The Dissertation Committee for JOSHUA MARKLEY certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE BARITONE VOICE IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES: A BRIEF EXAMINATION OF ITS DEVELOPMENT AND ITS USE IN HANDEL’S MESSIAH ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Stephens Date approved: 06/08/2016 ii Abstract Musicians who want to perform Handel’s oratorios in the twenty-first century are faced with several choices. One such choice is whether or not to use the baritone voice, and in what way is best to use him. In order to best answer that question, this study first examines the history of the baritone voice type, the historical context of Handel’s life and compositional style, and performing practices from the baroque era. It then applies that information to a case study of a representative sample of Handel’s solo oratorio literature. Using selections from Messiah this study charts the advantages and disadvantages of having a baritone sing the solo parts of Messiah rather than the voice part listed, i.e. tenor or bass, in both a modern performance and an historically-informed performance in an attempt to determine whether a baritone should sing the tenor roles or bass roles and in what context.

Program Concerto in C minor Alessandro Marcello Allegro moderato (1686-1739) Adagio Allegro with Larry Smith, piano The Oboe Concerto in C minor first attracted attention in the form of an embellished transcription for keyboard by J. S. Bach (BWV 947). This version was included in a set of transcriptions by Bach entitled 16 Concerti after Vivaldi. Thus, the concerto was first ascribed to Vivaldi. It was later attributed to Benedetto Marcello, but has most recently been credited to his brother Alessandro. Originally it was for oboe and string orchestra in D minor rather than C minor. It is a work in three movements, following the traditional Venetian concerto format of fast-slow-fast movements. Allegro moderato opens with a ritornello introducing the basic themes. The oboe then enters, building upon these themes, and is frequently interrupted by the return of material from the opening ritomello.
