I Libretti Ferrari Moreni
ALESSANDRA CHIARELLI Spettacoli in musica da fine Settecento all’Ottocento: i libretti Ferrari Moreni Quaderni Estensi Rivista, I – 2009 <http://www.archivi.beniculturali.it/ASMO/QE,1,2009> A. Chiarelli, Spettacoli in musica da fine Settecento all’Ottocento La Miscellanea Teatrale Ferrari Moreni è parte dell’omonima collezione generale, donata alla Biblioteca Estense all’inizio del Novecento; la raccolta nel suo complesso costituisce un prezioso deposito della memoria storica su Modena, le sue famiglie e istituzioni, rivelando un criterio omogeneo e un precipuo interesse per il legame tra il materiale e la sua origine, quindi un atteggiamento collezionistico forse più completo rispetto frequenti contesti ottocenteschi che prediligono l’accaparramento di pezzi rari e autografi 1. La Miscellanea Teatrale consta di circa 500 libretti, caratterizzati da date di rappresentazione e pubblicazione da metà Settecento a tutto l’Ottocento, e costituisce il più ampio nucleo librettistico oggi estense compreso in questo arco cronologico. Infatti altri libretti dello stesso periodo sono pervenuti per acquisto, solo un piccolo nucleo è di provenienza Valdrighi. Come si vedrà, anche la Miscellanea Teatrale è un deposito che fissa soprattutto la memoria storica locale, sebbene non manchi di raccogliere testimonianze esterne considerate di interesse. Già individuati i libretti 2, è tuttora in corso l’indagine sui contenuti in rapporto al contesto di produzione. Quindi, pur senza azzardare conclusioni certe e con la consapevolezza che usciranno nuovi elementi da ciò che non si è ancora verificato, si possono almeno dare primi dati provvisori, in base al sondaggio compiuto finora e alla luce di alcuni precedenti lavori già 1 Per uno sguardo sintetico ma articolato e completo al collezionismo modenese, si vedano almeno A. -

Chapter Four “Un misérable eunuque” He had his Spring contract, his librettist was by his side and he had sympathy galore - no one whatsoever in musical circles in Milan could have been unaware of the Venetian scam,i from now on the guilty pair would be viewed askance by operatic managements throughout the peninsula. The direction of La Scala - only too willing to be supportive - agreed against all their usual caution to a religious heroine to fulfil Pacini’s contractual engagement and Giovanna d’Arco was the result - a saintly martyr bedevilled not just by the familiar occult and heretic foes but by the dilatory behaviour of the librettist in question - Gaetano Barbieri - who confessed that only half his text was actually in hand when rehearsals began in February 1830. Even if the great theatre was not unduly dismayed by the delay that resulted it put the opera and its composer into bad odour with its audience, after excuse after excuse and postponement after postponement of the prima, Pacini was obliged to ask the Chief of Police to impose a measure of calm and it was only at the very last gasp of the season that the curtains parted on his Giovanna and then before a sea of angry faces. The composer was hissed as he took his seat at the cembalo but smiled merely as they were confronted by a genuine novelty: Henriette Méric-Lalande in bed asleep. Her “dream aria” in which the bienheureuse greets her sacred destiny met with murmurs (Italian audiences seldom warmed to devotional intimacies on stage) but her truly seraphic cavatina, immaculately sung, brought them down to earth like a perfect miracle. -

From the Vocal Studio to the Practice Room: an Overview of the Literature on Effective Practicing and an In-Depth Study of Vocal Exercise Books
ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE VOCAL STUDIO TO THE PRACTICE ROOM: AN OVERVIEW OF THE LITERATURE ON EFFECTIVE PRACTICING AND AN IN-DEPTH STUDY OF VOCAL EXERCISE BOOKS. Rebecca Bell Echols, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2013 Directed By: Professor Dominic Cossa, School of Music The purpose of this dissertation was to compile a list of resources to aid singers in their pursuit toward effective practicing. A survey was given to one hundred anonymous participants: fifty vocal students and fifty vocal teachers. The data collected from this survey showed that vocal students would like more resources available to aid in practicing more effectively. Additionally, the study reveals that many of the vocalise books that are in the vocal repertoire have fallen from tradition for reasons unknown, while one composer’s vocalise book, Nicola Vaccai’s, still remains in the teacher and student repertoire. This study provides resources culled from journals, text books, and musical scores. Also provided is a library of vocalises, which are divided into categories on specific vocal matters. The vocalises are categorized alphabetically, by both the category and composer. The final chapter shows the results of the surveys.

Shakespeare in the Music Library (PDF)
If music be the food of love: Shakespeare in the Music Library An exhibit in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare Curated and written by John Bewley, Ph.D. Associate Librarian Music Library University at Buffalo April 2016-June 2016 Music provides a kaleidoscopic array of perspectives through which scholars can view the works and influences of William Shakespeare. While many people are familiar with the most famous uses of Shakespeare in music in such works as Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy, Verdi’s Shakespeare operas (Falstaff, Macbeth, and Otello), Mendelssohn’s incidental music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet ballet, this exhibit will highlight some of the most significant topics related to the intersections of Shakespeare and music with some lesser-known examples from the holdings of the Music Library. The use of music in Shakespeare’s plays Music plays a significant role in Shakespeare’s plays through three guises: music performed as part of the play, references in the text to song titles, and the use of words with musical connotations. Shakespeare’s use of performed music in his plays was so extensive that only The Comedy of Errors is without music. One of the remarkable aspects of Shakespeare’s use of music is how integral it is to the dramatic structure in the plays. Some of the music serves as a direct part of the action, such as fanfares associated with processions or to mark royal entrances. In other instances Shakespeare used music as an agent for an action, such as when a lullaby is sung to put a character to sleep. -

Adetu, E.G.: Biblical and Religious Symbols in Italian Romantic Opera
Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov Series VIII: Performing Arts • Vol. 13(62) No.2 - 2020 https://doi.org/10.31926/but.pa.2020.13.62.2.1 Biblical and religious symbols in Italian romantic opera. Perspectives of musical hermeneutics Edith Georgiana ADETU1 Abstract: The 19th century brings in opera music new ways of thematic and stylistic approach. The escalation of revolutionary and political events influences the artistic life of the Italian nation, awakening in composers such as Rossini, Donizetti, Verdi another kind of spirituality. During this period, the Italian lyrical theater is moving towards new ways of expression, emphasizing the relationship between man and divinity. In these conditions, we can observe a stylistic evolution of the musical discourse, dominated by the influence of the biblical themes that the opera composers develop through dramaturgy. Numerous scenes taken from the Old Testament are found in the music of Italian operas from this period, marking an initiatory path of Italian spirituality and ethos of the nineteenth century. In this research we will present relevant musical examples from works such as Mose in Egitto - Rossini, Il diluvio universale - Donizetti, Nabucco - Verdi, Jerusalem – Verdi, highlighting the symbolic elements taken from the biblical text, rendered through music and stage action. Key-words: Opera, Italian Romanticism, Biblical symbols, Hermeneutics 1. Introduction: the science of hermeneutics and the understanding of opera music According to historical evidence and testimonies, the hermeneutic sciences developed accordingly with the evolution of society. “Plato approaches a hermeneutics of symbols, Aristotle leaves as a legacy a treatise on interpretation, Jewish and Christian theology deepens the understanding of holy books, and later, in the Middle Ages and Renaissance patristic theology and the art of interpreting philological texts stand out as branches of hermeneutic sciences” (Coroiu 2018, 34). -
LE MIE MEMORIE ARTISTICHE Giovanni Pacini
LE MIE MEMORIE ARTISTICHE Giovanni Pacini English translation: Adriaan van der Tang, October 2011 1 2 GIOVANNI PACINI: LE MIE MEMORIE ARTISTICHE PREFACE Pacini’s autobiography Le mie memorie artistiche has been published in several editions. For the present translation the original text has been used, consisting of 148 pages and published in 1865 by G.G. Guidi. In 1872 E. Sinimberghi in Rome published Le mie memorie artistiche di Giovanni Pacini, continuate dall’avvocato Filippo Cicconetti. The edition usually referred to was published in 1875 by Le Monnier in Florence under the title Le mie memorie artistiche: edite ed inedite, edited by Ferdinando Magnani. The first 127 pages contain the complete text of the original edition of 1865 – albeit with a different page numbering – extended with the section ‘inedite’ of 96 pages, containing notes Pacini made after publication of the 1865-edition, beginning with three ‘omissioni’. This 1875- edition covers the years as from 1864 and describes Pacini’s involvement with performances of some of his operas in several minor Italian theatres. His intensive supervision at the first performances in 1867 of Don Diego di Mendoza and Berta di Varnol was described as well, as were the executions of several of his cantatas, among which the cantata Pacini wrote for the unveiling of the Rossini- monument in Pesaro, his oratorios, masses and instrumental works. Furthermore he wrote about the countless initiatives he developed, such as the repatriation of Bellini’s remains to Catania and the erection of a monument in Arezzo in honour of the great poet Guido Monaco, much adored by him. -

Conferenza Del 4 Gennaio 2014 Ines De Castro Dalla Storia All'opera Di
Conferenza del 4 gennaio 2014 Ines de Castro dalla storia all’opera di Giuseppe Persiani interpretata da Maria Dragoni Innanzitutto vorrei ricordare che fra tre giorni, esattamente il 7 gennaio, ricorrono 659 anni dalla tragica morte di Ines de Castro. Ma chi era Ines de Castro? Mi si chiede ogni volta che ne parlo. Ines era figlia illegittima di don Pietro de Castro, gran signore di Galizia. Di lei non si sa né il luogo né la data della sua nascita, anche se a tale proposito si avanzano diverse ipotesi. È apparsa sulla scena della storia nel 1340, al seguito della principessa Costanza Peñafiel di Castiglia, che andava in sposa a Pietro, principe ereditario del Portogallo. Ma arrivata la sposa, pare che il principe abbia subito rivolto le sue attenzioni più che alla principessa alla damigella, Ines, giovane di straordinaria bellezza, tanto da essere chiamata “collo di cigno” e “collo d’alabastro”. Il re, Alfonso IV di Portogallo, per impedire questo nascente amore, esiliò Ines dal suo regno, poiché a nulla era valso il fatto di farle battezzare uno dei principini appena nati, creando così una «cognatio spiritualis», che avrebbe reso incestuoso questo rapporto amoroso, secondo la tradizione iberica del tempo. Morta Costanza nel 1345, Pietro richiamò Ines dall’esilio, e i due vissero insieme lontani dalla corte. Dalla coppia nacquero quattro figli. Ma il re, che avrebbe voluto per il principe un altro matrimonio con una figlia di re, o almeno di famiglia regale come Costanza, notando l’ostinazione dell’erede, decise della morte di Ines. Pietro, diventato re, alla morte del padre, riuscì a far catturare due dei tre consiglieri del re, i quali forse erano stati anche personalmente gli esecutori della sentenza contro la donna, e a Santarém fece loro strappare il cuore, a carne viva, poi fece bruciare i corpi e disperdere le ceneri nel Tago.
