  • A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
    A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources.

    Tim Eggington Section name Librar y Torquato Tasso, La Gierusalemme liberata, 1590 Special Collections featured item for January 2005 by Tim Eggington, former Rare Books Librarian Tasso, Torquato,1544-1595. La Gierusalemme liberata di Torquato Tasso / con le figure di Bernado Castello ; e le annotationi di Scipio Gentili, e di Giulio Gustavini. In Genova : [appresso Girolamo Bartoli], 1590. Item held in the Reserve Collection, University of Reading Library Special Collections First published in 1581, Gierusalemme liberata is one of the most celebrated literary works of the late Renaissance. Following the epic ancient tradition, it recounts the capture of Jerusalem by the crusaders in 1099. Gierusalemme liberata strongly influenced the writings of later authors such as Spenser and Milton, among many others. It also provided the subject for operas by composers such as Monteverdi (Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda,1624), Handel (Rinaldo, 1711) and Rossini (Armida, 1817). Published during Tasso’s lifetime, this rare edition is particularly admired for its 20 full-page illustrations. These were engraved by Giacomo Franco and Agostini Carraci after designs by Bernardo Castelli. Bound in contemporary vellum, Reading’s copy also includes various indications of its provenance. One of them reveals the book to have resided in ‘Napoli Ottobre 1726’. ©University of Reading 2007 Page 1 Born in Sorrento, Tasso is remembered principally for his two masterpieces, Aminta (1573) and Gierusalemme liberata (1581). For much of his career Tasso resided at the court of the Duke of Ferrara, seven years of which were spent in confinement for apparent insanity. Tasso was particularly troubled about the reception of his works and the fate of his manuscripts, over which he lost control while confined.

John Dennis 13 2. Joseph Addison 26 3. Anthony Ashley Cooper, Third Earl of Shaftesbury 38 4. Handel’s Rinaldo 48 Conclusion 65 Works Cited Primary Sources 69 Secondary Sources 70 3 Introduction Music has learn’d the discords of the state, And concerts jar with Whig and Tory hate… There fam’d L’Epine does equal skill employ, While list’ning peers croud to th’ecstatic joy: Bedford to hear her song his dice forsakes, And Nottingham is raptur’d when she shakes: Lull’d statesmen melt away their drowsy cares Of England’s safety, in Italian airs. ~John Hughes1 In the late seventeenth century, Italian opera began to find its way into the royal court and public theaters of London. During the first decade of the eighteenth century, Italian opera successfully penetrated the English theatrical tradition, and by 1711, with the premiere of Handel’s Rinaldo, the foreign art had conquered its English audience.2 However, this was not a peaceful conquest. The importation of Italian opera provoked British criticism, censure, and ridicule as it emerged on the London stage. British authors approached their arguments in different ways, some verging on or even embracing xenophobia, others attempting to laugh Italian opera out of the country.

  • Jerusalem Delivered 1St Edition Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    JERUSALEM DELIVERED 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Torquato Tasso | 9780801863233 | | | | | Jerusalem Delivered 1st edition PDF Book Now, years later, Anthony Esolen presents a new translation that transforms 'Jerusalem Delivered' into an English-language masterpiece. Contemporary Calf. Anthony Esolen is a professor of English at Providence College. Or is he actually the originator? Tasso's choice of subject matter, an actual historic conflict between Christians and Muslims albeit with fantastical elements added , had a historical grounding and created compositional implications the narrative subject matter had a fixed endpoint and could not be endlessly spun out in multiple volumes that are lacking in other Renaissance epics. Very good condition. Epic poems, and writings of this nature, deserve to be read with focused investment, by dwelling on the words selected, the scenes painted. Also entertaining. Reading epic poetry is always difficult, but I was surprised at how easily I read Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered. Violence can be righteous. Fairfax tried to fit Tasso's verse into Spenserian stanzas, adding to and subtracting from the original and often changing Tasso's meaning. The Muslim foes are given what was to me a surprising amount of respect and dignity. The first attempt to translate Gerusalemme liberata into English was made by Richard Carew , who published his version of the first five cantos as Godfrey of Bulloigne or the recoverie of Hierusalem in I recommend Edward Fairfax's seventeenth-century translation, if you can find it. Dec 31, Anand rated it it was amazing. Torquato Tasso. Absolutely beautiful work, and my favorite epic poem - hands down.
