  • Massenet's Cendrillon
    Massenet’s Cendrillon: Exploring the interactions of the orchestra and vocal line as found in the role of Cendrillon, and a dramatically rich role for the lyric mezzo soprano By Kristee Haney 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. Roberta Schwartz ________________________ Joyce Castle _______________________ Mark Ferrell ________________________ Dr. John Stephens ________________________ Dr. Michelle Heffner - Hayes Date Defended: April 18th, 2014 ii The Dissertation Committee for Kristee Haney certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Massenet’s Cendrillon: Exploring the interactions of the orchestra and vocal line as found in the role of Cendrillon, and a dramatically rich role for the lyric mezzo soprano ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Roberta Schwartz Date approved: April 18th, 2014 iii Abstract Composer Jules-Émile- Frédéric Massenet wrote a variety of roles for mezzo sopranos, and his soaring vocal lines are coupled with sensitive communication of the text. In Cendrillon, Massenet writes leading roles for three mezzo soprano voices: Le Prince Charmant, Madame de la Haltière, Cendrillon (and one featured supporting role, the step- sister Dorothée). The three leading roles involve different vocal and dramatic demands, while still allowing the unique colors of the mezzo soprano voice to shine. I will explore Massenet’s writing for the mezzo soprano and the interaction of the vocal line with the orchestra, in his “fairy tale” opera, Cendrillon. I will analyze scenes that deal with the role of title character Cendrillon and the specific vocal qualities that Massenet highlights in each: Cendrillon’s arias in Act I and Act III; the scene with La Feé in Act I; the duet with the Prince Charmant in Act II; and the duet / trio with Prince Charmant and La Feé that ends Act III.

  • JULES MASSENET – His Life and Works by Nick Fuller I
    JULES MASSENET – His Life and Works By Nick Fuller I. Introduction Jules Massenet’s operas made him one of the most popular composers of the late nineteenth century, his works performed throughout Europe, the Americas and North Africa. After World War I, he was seen as old- fashioned, and nearly all of his operas, apart from Werther and Manon , vanished from the mainstream repertoire. The opera-going public still know Massenet best for Manon , Werther , and the Méditation from Thaïs , but to believe, as The Grove Dictionary of Opera wrote in 1954, that ‘to have heard Manon is to have heard all of him’ is to do the composer a gross disservice. Massenet wrote twenty-seven operas, many of which are at least as good as Manon and Werther . Nearly all are theatrically effective, boast beautiful music and display insightful characterisation and an instinct for dramatic and psychological truth. In recent decades, Massenet’s work has regained popularity. Although he Figure 1 Jules Massenet, drawing by Ernesto Fontana (Source: is not the household name he once http://artlyriquefr.fr/personnages/Massenet%20Jules.html) was, and many of his operas remain little known, he has been winning new audiences. Conductors like Richard Bonynge, Julius Rudel and Patrick Fournillier have championed Massenet, while since 1990 a biennial Massenet festival has been held in his birthplace, Saint-Étienne, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, its mission to rediscover Massenet’s operas. His work has been performed in the world’s major opera houses under the baton of conductors Thomas Beecham, Colin Davis, Charles Mackerras, Michel Plasson, Riccardo Chailly and Antonio Pappano, and sung by Joan Sutherland, José van Dam, Frederica von Stade, Nicolai Gedda, Roberto Alagna, Renée Fleming, Thomas Hampson and Plácido Domingo.

  • UNFORGETTABLE PERFORMANCES on NAXOS DVDS Naxos on DVD – an Astonishing Array
    UNFORGETTABLE PERFORMANCES ON NAXOS DVDS Naxos on DVD – an astonishing array Representing almost all periods of musical history, the Naxos DVD list ranges from electric emotional dramas in early music masterpieces by Cavalli and Monteverdi, moves through the high romance of Donizetti and heroics of Verdi, right up to compelling contemporary productions such as Petitgirard’s The Elephant Man. Allied to strength in the sheer variety of titles listed there is substantial depth in the unique points of interest associated with each title. We focus on less familiar works by universally beloved composers such as Puccini and Schubert, world première releases such as Copland’s The City, and revivals of forgotten masterpieces such as Rossi’s Cleopatra. Each opera production is produced, performed and filmed to the highest standards, with casts including internationally renowned soloists as well as exciting new discoveries. Spectacular staging and the special atmosphere at major festivals all contribute to create genuinely unforgettable visual and experiences. The majority of these releases also exist in CD format, and as such are standard-bearers in terms of sound quality. Other titles capture unique events such as the special performance of Haydn’s Harmoniemesse in the presence of Pope Benedict XVI, celebrate star talents like “the great Verdian bass” Carlo Colombara, make available significant but rarely seen films such as The Plow that Broke the Plains, or enhance annual festivities such as Christmas with Winchester College Chapel Choir. Populated with a multitude of acclaimed musicians, remarkable productions and unique events, each title in the Naxos DVD catalogue is a richly rewarding highlight in its own right.

  • The Death of Cervantes' Don Quixote: Three Musical and Literary Perspectives"
    The Death of Cervantes’ Don Quixote: Three Musical and Literary Perspectives by Se Hoon Kim A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved April 2016 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: David Britton, Chair Jody Rockmaker William Reber ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2016 ABSTRACT Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra created the character of Don Quixote in his book El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha, published in 1605. Since its creation, stories from the book have been reimagined in art, in literature and in music. Frequently, Cervantes – the man and author – and Quixote – the novel’s protagonist and hero – have been inextricably linked in character. Subsequent adaptors of the novel have been influenced by this connection: composers Jules Massenet (1842-1912), Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) and Mitch Leigh (1928-2014) all wrote their own versions of the Quixote saga. Though their approaches to the story are varied, the basic characteristics of it remain: Love, Life and Dreams. Those themes are reflected in the old knight’s death scene in each of their respective works. Here, the lives of the adaptors are briefly discussed and a dramatic and musical (Schenkerian), analysis of Quixote’s last hours are presented. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my appreciation to the many teachers at Arizona State University who helped me in the accomplishment of this research project: my voice teacher, Mr. Britton, who has expanded my world as a singer and who has also been a model for me as an instructor; Dr. Reber, who although he has relocated to Germany, has sustained an interest in my progress by remaining on my committee, and has offered valuable comments and support to me as a singer; Dr.

  • Naturalism and Massenet's Thérèse
    Naturalism and Massenet’s Thérèse Alexandre Dratwicki As often with the terminology that is used to classify various aesthetic movements, the term ‘naturalism’ has different meanings within the arts, while those arts that apply the term nevertheless share a common ideal. That is not true of Neoclassicism, for instance, in which the ideal of the painter Jacques-Louis David diverges from that of the composer Francis Poulenc, or of Classicism, in which the poet and playwright Philippe Quinault has little in common with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Although the naturalistic theory is on the whole based on ethical foundations that give higher moral value to those precepts which follow the rules of nature, it is expressed in different ways in different arts. Taking inspira - tion from the experimental sciences, naturalism in literature traces a rigorously and precisely studied reality. Naturalism in fine art gives pri - macy to a true-to-life style, a depiction of nature avoiding distortion or interpretation. In opera (and in plays), naturalism implies natural expres - sion by realistic characters; the artificiality of spouting poetry in that context is rejected, as is the convention of lending the work structure by means of arias, duos, trios, scenes, tableaux and so on. Naturalism in French music – which appeared at the same time as verismo in Italy, represented by Mascagni, Leoncavallo, Giordano and Puccini – is often reduced to the fruits of the work of the writer Émile Zola and the composer Alfred Bruneau, a fraternal and artistic friend - ship that gave rise first of all to Le Rêve (1891) and L’Attaque du Moulin (1893), set in verse by Louis Gallet.
