Mozart's Die Zauberflöte: a Kingdom of Notes and Numbers MOZART’S DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE: A KINGDOM OF NOTES AND NUMBERS by Daemon Garafallo A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL May 2016 Copyright 2016 by Daemon Garafallo ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express his thanks to his committee members for their guidance, especially to his thesis advisor, Dr. Ken Keaton, for helping the author through a difficult time these past few years, and to Dr. Sandra McClain for going above and beyond in her dual role of committee member and academic advisor and for doing an excellent job at both. He also would like to acknowledge Dr. James Cunningham for his help and guidance throughout his degree. iv ABSTRACT Author: Daemon Garafallo Title: Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte: A Kingdom of Notes and Numbers Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Ken Keaton Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2016 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed Die Zauberflöte in the last year of his life. It was intended in part to glorify Freemasonry as a new Emperor, more hostile to the Masons, took his office. After a brief survey of his life and works, this paper shows how Mozart used number symbolism in the opera, and will equip the reader with an understanding of this as practiced by the Freemasons. Further, it will show how Mozart associated the characters of the opera with specific musical tones. It will expose a deeper understanding of the question of meaning in word and text in his opera. v DEDICATION This manuscript is dedicated to Harold Brown, a great teacher and a great friend. Here’s to never stopping trying to find the meaning in music. It is also dedicated to my mother and sister whose support the last few years, among other things, meant finishing this degree. vi MOZART’S DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE: A KINGDOM OF NOTES AND NUMBERS I.

  • Freemasonry and Civil Society: Reform of Manners and the Journal Fu¨R Freymaurer (1784-1786)
    111 Freemasonry and civil society: reform of manners and the Journal fuÈr Freymaurer (1784-1786) ANDREAS OÈ NNERFORS Freemasonry as a tool of moral improvement In 1784 the Bohemian mineralogist Ignaz von Born, in his capacity as master of the Masonic lodge Zur wahren Eintracht [True Union] in Vienna, took the initiative to publish the ®rst successful Masonic period- ical in Europe, the Journal fuÈr Freymaurer.1 It was subsequently edited in twelve quarterly volumes, with an average of 250 pages, printed in 1000 copies and disseminated across the entire Habsburg Monarchy, a vast undertaking, bearing in mind the transport infrastructure of the eight- eenth century. The journal contained extensive treatments of religious traditions resembling Freemasonry, essays on Masonic virtues and values, reviews of Masonic literature, poetry and Masonic news from all parts of Europe. But a signi®cant number of the essays included in the journal also covered the impact of Freemasonry on society. The Masonic move- ment interpreted itself as a moral force with the potential to transform manners for the universal bene®t and improvement of society and mankind. Born wrote in his address to readers that, within the Order of Freemasons, freedom of thought and equality of all natural rights was a fundamental law. Hence, it was a right to communicate the results of such free deliberation to fellow brethren.2 Based upon a series of essays focusing on the moral aspects of Freemasonry, this article attempts to outline the content of these `free deliberations' that only a few years before the French Revolution read surprisingly radical, especially in the context of the Habsburg Monarchy.

  • Interstellar Music - by Mike Overly
    Interstellar Music - by Mike Overly Let's imagine that you could toss a message in a bottle faster than a speeding bullet into the cosmic ocean of outer space. What would you seal inside it for anyone, or anything, to open some day in the distant future, in a galaxy far, far away from our solar system? Well, imagine no more because it's been done! Thirty-five years ago, NASA launched two Voyager spacecraft carrying earthly images and sounds toward the Stars. Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977, from Cape Canaveral, Florida and Voyager 2 was sent on its way August 20 of that same year. Voyager 1 is now 11 billion miles away from earth and is the most distant of all human-made objects. Everyday, it flies another million miles farther. In fact, Voyager 1 and 2 are so far out in space that their radio signals, traveling at the speed of light, take 16 hours to reach Earth. These radio signals are captured daily by the big dish antennas of the Deep Space Network and arrive at a strength of less than one femtowatt, a millionth of a billionth of a watt. Wow! Both Voyagers are headed towards the outer boundary of the solar system, known as the heliopause. This is the region where the Sun's influence wanes and interstellar space waxes. Also, the heliopause is where the million-mile-per-hour solar winds slow down to about 250,000 miles per hour. The Voyagers have reached these solar winds, also known as termination shock, and should cross the heliopause in another 10 to 20 years.
