Doctoral Dissertations. 580. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/580 ABSTRACT The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias Joshua Michael May University of Connecticut, 2014 W. A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice.

  • Overture to Oberon Composed from 1825-26 Carl Maria Von Weber Born in Eutin, Germany, November 18, 1786 Died in London, June 5
    OVERTURE TO OBERON COMPOSED FROM 1825-26 CARL MARIA VON WEBER BORN IN EUTIN, GERMANY, NOVEMBER 18, 1786 DIED IN LONDON, JUNE 5, 1826 The tragic tale of the composition of Weber’s final opera Oberon is perhaps as interesting as the plot of the opera itself. Dying of consumption at the age of 38, the impoverished Weber felt he could not refuse the offer from English impresario Charles Kemble to compose an opera on the subject of Oberon, King of the Faeries, for the London stage— even though he sensed that the project would be the death of him. “Whether I travel or not, in a year I’ll be a dead man,” he wrote to a friend after he had completed the Oberon score, of his decision to make the trip to England to see the work through to performance. “But if I do travel, my children will at least have something to eat, even if Daddy is dead—and if I don’t go they’ll starve. What would you do in my position?” Both points of Weber’s prediction proved correct: The 12 initial performances of Oberon netted his family a great deal of money; and within a few weeks of the work’s successful premiere in April 1826, the composer collapsed of exhaustion and died. Though the composition of operas had always been the center of Weber’s existence, it was not until the last six years of his life that he had finally been given the opportunity to compose the three stage works that quickly took their place among the masterworks of Romanticism: Der Freischütz, Euryanthe, and Oberon.

  • The Recently Rediscovered Works of Heinrich Baermann by Madelyn Moore Submitted to the Graduate Degree Program in Music And
    The Recently Rediscovered Works of Heinrich Baermann By Madelyn Moore Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Eric Stomberg ________________________________ Dr. Robert Walzel ________________________________ Dr. Paul Popiel ________________________________ Dr. David Alan Street ________________________________ Dr. Marylee Southard Date Defended: April 1, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Madelyn Moore certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Recently Rediscovered Works of Heinrich Baermann ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Eric Stomberg Date approved: April 22, 2014 ii Abstract While Heinrich Baermann was one of the most famous virtuosi of the first half of the nineteenth century and is one of the most revered clarinetists of all time, it is not well known that Baermann often performed works of his own composition. He composed nearly 40 pieces of varied instrumentation, most of which, unfortunately, were either never published or are long out of print. Baermann’s style of playing has influenced virtually all clarinetists since his life, and his virtuosity inspired many composers. Indeed, Carl Maria von Weber wrote two concerti, a concertino, a set of theme and variations, and a quintet all for Baermann. This document explores Baermann’s relationships with Weber and other composers, and the influence that he had on performance practice. Furthermore, this paper discusses three of Baermann’s compositions, critical editions of which were made during the process of this research. The ultimate goal of this project is to expand our collective knowledge of Heinrich Baermann and the influence that he had on performance practice by examining his life and three of the works that he wrote for himself.

Desire for Perpetuation: Fairy Writing and Re-creation of National Identity in the Narratives of Walter Scott, John Black, James Hogg and Andrew Lang Yuki Yoshino A Thesis Submitted to The University of Edinburgh for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Literature 2013 Abstract This thesis argues that ‘fairy writing’ in the nineteenth-century Scottish literature serves as a peculiar site which accommodates various, often ambiguous and subversive, responses to the processes of constructing new national identities occurring in, and outwith, post-union Scotland. It contends that a pathetic sense of loss, emptiness and absence, together with strong preoccupations with the land, and a desire to perpetuate the nation which has become state-less, commonly underpin the wide variety of fairy writings by Walter Scott, John Black, James Hogg and Andrew Lang.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Ludwig Van Beethoven Overture to Fidelio
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Ludwig van Beethoven Born December 16, 1770, Bonn, Germany. Died March 26, 1827, Vienna, Austria. Overture to Fidelio Beethoven began to compose Fidelio in 1804, and he completed the score the following year. The first performance was given on November 20, 1805, at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna. Beethoven revised the score in preparation for a revival that opened there on March 29, 1806. For a new production in 1814, he made substantial revisions and wrote the overture performed at these concerts. The overture wasn’t ready in time for the premiere on May 23, 1814, in Vienna’s Kärntnertor Theater, but it was played at the second performance. The overture calls for an orchestra consisting of two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, two trombones, timpani, and strings. Performance time is approximately six minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Beethoven’s Overture to Fidelio were given at the Auditorium Theatre on December 14 and 15, 1894, with Theodore Thomas conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances of the overture (and the complete opera) were given at Orchestra Hall on May 26, 28, and 31, 1998, with Daniel Barenboim conducting. The Orchestra first performed this overture at the Ravinia Festival on July 16, 1938, with Willem van Hoogstraten conducting, and most recently on July 30, 2008, with Sir Andrew Davis conducting. Nothing else in Beethoven’s career caused as much effort and heartbreak as the composition of his only opera, which took ten years, inspired four different overtures, and underwent two major revisions and a name change before convincing Beethoven that he was not a man of the theater.
