  • Die Münchner Philharmoniker
    Die Münchner Philharmoniker Die Münchner Philharmoniker wurden 1893 auf Privatinitiative von Franz Kaim, Sohn eines Klavierfabrikanten, gegründet und prägen seither das musikalische Leben Münchens. Bereits in den Anfangsjahren des Orchesters – zunächst unter dem Namen »Kaim-Orchester« – garantierten Dirigenten wie Hans Winderstein, Hermann Zumpe und der Bruckner-Schüler Ferdinand Löwe hohes spieltechnisches Niveau und setzten sich intensiv auch für das zeitgenössische Schaffen ein. Von Anbeginn an gehörte zum künstlerischen Konzept auch das Bestreben, durch Programm- und Preisgestaltung allen Bevölkerungs-schichten Zugang zu den Konzerten zu ermöglichen. Mit Felix Weingartner, der das Orchester von 1898 bis 1905 leitete, mehrte sich durch zahlreiche Auslandsreisen auch das internationale Ansehen. Gustav Mahler dirigierte das Orchester in den Jahren 1901 und 1910 bei den Uraufführungen seiner 4. und 8. Symphonie. Im November 1911 gelangte mit dem inzwischen in »Konzertvereins-Orchester« umbenannten Ensemble unter Bruno Walters Leitung Mahlers »Das Lied von der Erde« zur Uraufführung. Von 1908 bis 1914 übernahm Ferdinand Löwe das Orchester erneut. In Anknüpfung an das triumphale Wiener Gastspiel am 1. März 1898 mit Anton Bruckners 5. Symphonie leitete er die ersten großen Bruckner- Konzerte und begründete so die bis heute andauernde Bruckner-Tradition des Orchesters. In die Amtszeit von Siegmund von Hausegger, der dem Orchester von 1920 bis 1938 als Generalmusikdirektor vorstand, fielen u.a. die Uraufführungen zweier Symphonien Bruckners in ihren Originalfassungen sowie die Umbenennung in »Münchner Philharmoniker«. Von 1938 bis zum Sommer 1944 stand der österreichische Dirigent Oswald Kabasta an der Spitze des Orchesters. Eugen Jochum dirigierte das erste Konzert nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Mit Hans Rosbaud gewannen die Philharmoniker im Herbst 1945 einen herausragenden Orchesterleiter, der sich zudem leidenschaftlich für neue Musik einsetzte.

  • Zwischen Strengem Reglement Und Freier Entfaltung Die Ersten Kapellmeister Der Kurbrandenburgischen Hofkapelle in Der Zeit Vor Dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg
    Kulturgeschichte Preuûens - Colloquien 3 (2016) Detlef Giese Zwischen strengem Reglement und freier Entfaltung Die ersten Kapellmeister der kurbrandenburgischen Hofkapelle in der Zeit vor dem Dreiûigjährigen Krieg Abstract Dass es vornehmlich die Kapellmeister sind, die einem Klangkörper Gesicht und Stimme geben, gilt für die Gegenwart gleichermaûen wie für die Geschichte. Der jeweilige Stelleninhaber ist einerseits eingebunden in seine vertraglichen Verpflichtungen, besitzt andererseits aber auch gewisse Freiheiten, im Rahmen bestimmter Möglichkeiten seinen Tätigkeitsbereich für sich selbst zu definieren. Die Erwartungshaltungen der wechselnden Dienstherren wandeln sich ebenso wie das politisch-gesellschaftliche, institutionelle und allgemein kulturelle Umfeld, in der die administrative und künstlerische Arbeit des Kapellmeisters angesiedelt ist. Die Wirkung und Ausstrahlungskraft, welche die Protagonisten hierbei entfalten, sind wichtige Gradmesser für die Bedeutung sowohl der Person als auch der Institution im regionalen wie überregionalen Maûstab. Für die Frühzeit der kurbrandenburgischen Hofkapelle sind zumindest die Namen einiger Kapellmeister überliefert, die als empirische Individualitäten fassbar werden. Dem ersten namentlich bekannte Amtsträger Johann Wesalius, der bereits in den 1570er Jahren an der Spitze des Ensembles stand, kommt in diesem Zusammenhang Aufmerksamkeit und Interesse zu, desgleichen Musikern wie Johannes Eccard und Nikolaus Zangius, die in den ersten beiden Jahrzehnten des 17. Jahrhunderts zu den respektablen, im Falle von Eccard sogar zu den prominenten, bis heute immer noch wertgeschätzten deutschen Komponisten ihrer Zeit zählten. Obwohl sie an jeweilige Rahmenbedingungen materieller wie personeller Art gebunden waren, besaûen sie doch ausreichend Räume zur eigenen Entfaltung, um sich künstlerisch zu profilieren. Auf der anderen Seite steht eine strenge Reglementierungen der Aufgaben und Aktivitäten von Seiten der Regenten, die nicht selten einengend wirkten, zumal die Ressourcen über den betrachteten Zeitraum von 1570 bis ca.

  • Nietzsche, Debussy, and the Shadow of Wagner
    NIETZSCHE, DEBUSSY, AND THE SHADOW OF WAGNER A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Tekla B. Babyak May 2014 ©2014 Tekla B. Babyak ii ABSTRACT NIETZSCHE, DEBUSSY, AND THE SHADOW OF WAGNER Tekla B. Babyak, Ph.D. Cornell University 2014 Debussy was an ardent nationalist who sought to purge all German (especially Wagnerian) stylistic features from his music. He claimed that he wanted his music to express his French identity. Much of his music, however, is saturated with markers of exoticism. My dissertation explores the relationship between his interest in musical exoticism and his anti-Wagnerian nationalism. I argue that he used exotic markers as a nationalistic reaction against Wagner. He perceived these markers as symbols of French identity. By the time that he started writing exotic music, in the 1890’s, exoticism was a deeply entrenched tradition in French musical culture. Many 19th-century French composers, including Felicien David, Bizet, Massenet, and Saint-Saëns, founded this tradition of musical exoticism and established a lexicon of exotic markers, such as modality, static harmonies, descending chromatic lines and pentatonicism. Through incorporating these markers into his musical style, Debussy gives his music a French nationalistic stamp. I argue that the German philosopher Nietzsche shaped Debussy’s nationalistic attitude toward musical exoticism. In 1888, Nietzsche asserted that Bizet’s musical exoticism was an effective antidote to Wagner. Nietzsche wrote that music should be “Mediterranized,” a dictum that became extremely famous in fin-de-siècle France.

  • 2012 Conference Abstracts (In Order of Presentation)
    2012 Conference Abstracts (in order of presentation) Thursday afternoon Session 1a: Mapping Musical Modernities at the BBC (3rd Floor) Vaughan Williams, Boult and the BBC JENNY DOCTOR, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY Much scholarly discussion in recent years has focused on re-mapping notions of biography, exploring in music not only composers, performers and librettists, but also patrons, concert organizers and programme builders. In parallel with this emerged new ideas of institutional biography, opening up questions that contextualized the institution in terms of its cultural role. With such expanded impressions of biography, identity and contribution in mind, I explore Ralph Vaughan Williams and the BBC, considering the composer’s broadcasting activities and opportunities in relation to his Corporation contacts, in particular his interactions with BBC Music Director and Chief Conductor Adrian Boult. “The Best Possible Performance”: The BBC’s 1942 Music Policy and the Problem of Swung Classics CHRISTINA BAADE, MCMASTER UNIVERSITY This paper examines the BBC’s 1942 ban on swung classics, locating it at the nexus of three strands of British cultural expression during the Second World War: 1. the vogue for Russian (and Soviet) culture; 2. the expansion of American-style popular music in Britain; and 3. the development of People’s War discourses of democracy, populism, and tolerance. This paper argues that the ban represented a direct attempt to combat the commoditization of music and to develop a more musical citizenry. The BBC’s adoption of repressive means for democratic aims demonstrated the challenges of music broadcasting in modern mass culture. “The Machine Stops” and the Musical Acousmêtre LOUIS NIEBUR, UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO In 1966, BBC Television broadcast an adaptation of E.M.
