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.

Unlike many of his 18th-Century rivals, Caffarelli enjoyed a certain level of privilege, his boyhood musical studies financed by the profits of two vineyards devoted to his tuition by his grandmother. Perhaps most remarkable, especially in comparison with other celebrated castrati who invented elaborate tales of childhood illnesses and unfortunate encounters with unfriendly animals to account for their ‘altered’ states, is the fact that, having been sufficiently impressed by the quality of his puerile voice or convinced thereof by the praise of his tutors, Caffarelli volunteered himself for castration. It is suggested that his most influential teacher, Porpora, with whom Farinelli also studied, was put off by Caffarelli’s arrogance but regarded him as the most talented of his pupils, reputedly having pronounced the castrato the greatest singer in Europe—a sentiment legitimately expressive of Porpora’s esteem for Caffarelli, perhaps, and surely a fine advertisement for his own services as composer and teacher.

  • The Malta International Choir Festival Composition Competition
    The Malta International Choir Festival Composition Competition The Malta International Choir Festival Composition Competition is dedicated to the memory of Girolamo Abos 1, one of Malta’s preeminent composers. Malta has regularly hosted international choir festivals and competitions since 1988. The islands of Malta and Gozo can boast of a very thriving choral scene and – with over 350 churches serving a population of about 400,000 – the choral tradition is, understandably, built around and mostly focused on sacred music. This year, the Ministry for Tourism and the Malta Tourism Authority will be holding another edition of the Malta International Choir Festival between October 29 and November 1. The organising committee of the Malta International Choir Festival is, for the first time, launching an International Composition Competition for young composers with the intention of providing an opportunity for aspiring composers to have their work premiered and recorded during the festival. Participating composers in this competition will also have the opportunity to attend a workshop during the festival. The workshop will be led by members of the adjudication panel and will focus on choral writing skills. There is no fee for participating in the workshop but international participants would be required to fund their own travel and accommodation. Competition Regulations 1. The competition is open to composers of any nationality who will be not older than 30 years of age. 2. The composition should be written for SATB choir a cappella with the possibility of some divisi (maximum two parts per voice). Whilst composers are encouraged to demonstrate their best abilities through the submitted works, one should also be as practical as possible and due attention will be given to the efficiency with which one’s musical ideas are communicated to the performers.

  • A Largely Unknown Chapter in Maltese History
    Eighteenth-Century Music and its Political Configurations: a largely unknown Chapter in Maltese History Simon MERCIECA University of Malta The period of the rule of the Knights of Saint John (1530-1798) is currently remembered and celebrated as Malta's golden age. The Knights are typically perceived as benign Christian and Catholic rulers, and the Grand Masters considered among Malta's most famous historical characters. The Order is rightly credited with having brought a cultural Renaissance to the Island. During its rule, a number of far-reaching historical events took place. Conveniently, only the victory of the Knights of Saint John at the Great Siege of 1565, when a large Ottoman force was repelled following fierce fighting, is commemorated on a national scale. The arrival of Napoleon's forces in 1798, by contrast, does not receive the same acknowledgement or coverage in popular history. Yet the Order's rule was not necessarily as golden as it is sometimes made out to be, and the Knights' administration is tarnished by various miscarriages of justice. They were despotic rulers following ancien regime principles. The artistic and architectural grandeur of the time and the cultural renaissance fostered by the Order interested the few. It has been suggested that only two per cent of a country's population was really concerned with cultural issues during the early modern period.1 The arrival in Malta of Michelangelo Merisi di Caravaggio (the year 2007 marked the 400th anniversary of that event) and the engagement of other important artists, such as Mattia Preti together with the employment of important military engineers, provide proof of the Order's contribution to Malta's cultural history.

  • From Coppet to Milan: Romantic Circles at La Scala
    From Coppet to Milan: Romantic Circles at La Scala Carmen Casaliggi Cardiff Metropolitan University When Percy Shelley left England and settled with Mary Godwin and Claire Clairmont at Maison Chapuis close to Villa Diodati in May 1816, his thoughts naturally turned to the people who were part of the coterie of European writers and artists visiting Switzerland during that Summer. As he wrote in a letter to Thomas Jefferson Hogg dated July 18, 1816: “Lord Byron, whom I have seen at this place, is about to publish a new canto of Childe Harold [...] Mad. de Stael [sic] is here & a number of literary people whom I have not seen, & indeed have no great curiosity to see” (493). Despite their strident disagreement over the merits of Byron’s entourage, Shelley’s words are suggestive of the significance of Switzerland as a centre of creativity and inspiration; it also becomes an important site to test authentic forms of sociability. John William Polidori’s diary entry for May 25, 1816 – written only few days after he arrived in Switzerland as Byron’s personal physician - retraces the footsteps of writers and philosophers interested in Swiss destinations: “It is a classic ground we go over. Buonaparte, Joseph, Bonnet, Necker, Staël, Voltaire, Rousseau, all have their villas (except Rousseau). Genthoud, Ferney, Coppet are close to the road” (96). This distinctive association of the biographical, the historical, and the geographical indicates the extent to which the Swiss experience can be seen as one of the first Romantic examples of influence and collaboration between British and European Romantic writers.
