  • Musiker in Brandenburg
    Musiker aus Brandenburg Kurzbiografien der in der Sonder- sammlung „Musik aus Brandenburg“ der Musikbibliothek der Stadt- und Landesbibliothek Potsdam vertretenen Musiker 1 Musiker in Brandenburg... ... gab und gibt es sicher einige. Aber bekannte und berühmte doch eher nicht!... So lautet wohl die landläufige Meinung zum Thema Brandenburger Musiker. Trifft man auf ein interessierteres Publikum, so fallen Namen wie Quantz, der „Alte Fritz“ oder C. P. E. Bach, aber kaum ein Name aus der Gegenwart oder der jüngeren Geschichte. Beschäftigt man sich ein wenig mit dieser Materie und das ist heute dank Internet kein Problem, so stößt man recht schnell auf den einen oder anderen bekannten Namen und stellt fest, dass sie / er in Brandenburg geboren, gelebt oder gearbeitet hat oder es noch immer tut. So war die Schaffung der Sondersammlung „Musik aus Brandenburg“ willkommener Anlass, sich mit den Biografien der in dieser Sammlung vertretenen Musiker zu beschäftigen, um sie letztlich auch unseren Lesern zur Verfügung stellen zu können. Dabei stellten sich vor allem zwei Fragen: was macht den Brandenburger Musiker zum Brandenburger Musiker und wer ist ein Musiker? Während sich die zweite Frage recht schnell dahingehend beantworten ließ, dass zu diesem Personenkreis all jene gehören, die sich aktiv mit Musik beschäftigen, egal ob sie als Komponist, Interpret, Musikwissenschaftler oder Musikbuchautor tätig sind, war die Eingrenzung des „Brandenburger Musikers“ weitaus schwieriger. Letztendlich zählen jene Musiker zu diesem Kreis, die in Brandenburg geboren sind oder mehrere Jahre hier gelebt oder gearbeitet haben. In Ausnahmefällen aber auch diejenigen, bei denen z.B. die Uraufführung ihres Werkes innerhalb des Landes Brandenburg stattfand. Innerhalb der jeweiligen Vita wird die Beziehung zu Brandenburg durch das Herausheben des jeweiligen Ortes ersichtlich.

    Hanns Eisler and His Hollywood Songbook: A Survey of the Five Elegies (Fünf Elegien) and the Hölderlin Fragments (Hölderlin­Fragmente) D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Stanley E. Workman, Jr., B.M., M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2010 D.M.A. Document Committee: Dr. Robin Rice, Advisor Professor Loretta Robinson Dr. C. Patrick Woliver Copyright by Stanley Edward Workman, Jr. 2010 Abstract Hanns Eisler, (1898‐1962), remains today as one of the most fascinating and controversial composers of the Twentieth‐Century. Schooled in the aesthetic style of the Second Viennese School of Schoenberg, Eisler made an ideological shift in the trajectory of his musical career in the mid‐1920’s, shifting the emphasis away from ‘art music’ to music for the Worker’s Movement. Enormously versatile, Eisler then found himself working in various genres, from the writing of ‘agitprop’ style ballads and choruses, the Lehrstücke collaborations with friend and colleague Bertolt Brecht, and to the composing of film scores for many documentary and Leftist film producers. When the Worker’s Movement was disbanded with the oncoming of Hitler in 1933, Eisler, now an exile, once again returned to more conventional musical forms such as the Symphony and the Art Song. It is during this exile period in both Europe and the U.S.A. that Eisler composed some of his greatest works, such as the Deutsche Sinfonie, the chamber work Fourteen Ways of Describing Rain, and the Hollywood Songbook (Das Hollywooder Liederbuch), to name just a few.

  • Gisela May Schauspielerin Und Diseuse Im Gespräch Mit Wolfgang Binder
    BR-ONLINE | Das Online-Angebot des Bayerischen Rundfunks http://www.br-online.de/alpha/forum/vor0101/20010105.shtml Sendung vom 05.01.2001, 20.15 Uhr Gisela May Schauspielerin und Diseuse im Gespräch mit Wolfgang Binder Binder: Sie ist die First Lady des politischen Songs, "sozialistische Nachtigall" wurde sie vor der Wende in Ost und West genannt. Von sich selbst sagt sie, sie sei gemäß einer Definition von Bert Brecht eine singende Schauspielerin. Heute ist sie eine der letzten und besten Interpretinnen der Lieder Bert Brechts. "Nach wie vor spiele und singe ich für den Frieden und gegen den Krieg", das ist ein Zitat von ihr, und heute ist sie aus Berlin kommend bei uns hier im Alpha-Forum. Herzlich willkommen, Gisela May. May: Danke. Binder: Ich freue mich sehr auf unser Gespräch. Wann waren Sie denn das letzte Mal hier in München? May: Das ist schon einige Zeit her. Wir hatten den Luxus, für eine Produktion bei der Expo proben zu können. Und diese Proben fanden hier in München statt, was ich sehr begrüßt habe, weil ich gerne in München bin. Binder: Wir werden natürlich über Brecht und auch über alle anderen wichtigen Menschen in Ihrem Leben sprechen, aber vorher möchte ich doch zu einer ganz aktuellen Sache kommen, die mich sehr fasziniert hat. Nach Ihrer Kündigung im Frühjahr 1992 am "Berliner Ensemble" sind Sie jetzt zum ersten Mal wieder an diesem Theater engagiert. Wie kam es denn zu diesem Engagement? May: Ich war ja 30 Jahre lang an diesem Haus. Es ist eigentlich kaum vorstellbar, dass man in einem Ensemble 30 Jahre lang arbeitet.

Schon 1968 überreichte ihr Maurice Chevalier in Paris dafür den Grand Prix du Disque. Für andere war sie vor allem die DDR-Staatskünstlerin, die 30 Jahre lang dem Berliner Ensemble angehörte und bis 1992 die „Mutter Courage“ spielte. Nach der Wende wurde es still um Gisela May. Auch wenn man ihr 2004, zum 80. Geburtstag, noch das Bundesverdienstkreuz verlieh, konnte ein neues, gesamtdeutsches Publikum sie nur noch als „Muddi“ an der Seite Evelin Hamanns in „Adelheid und ihre Mörder“ erleben. Es gibt viele Erzählungen über „die May“, die im Dezember 2016 starb. Unser Autor erzählt seine Geschichte mit ihr. Musik 1 : Gisela May "Der Alte Fritz" (Manfred Schmitz/Ed Stuhler) Refrain "Es ist kein Witz, der Alte Fritz ist wieder da. Er steht ratz batz am alten Platz, hurra, hurra. Er sitzt verwirrt auf seinem Tier und denkt, was machen die mit mir - na, is egal, ich bin ja wieder hier.
