Pietro A. Cipollone Music and Personal Papers Pietro A Pietro A. Cipollone Music and Personal Papers Pietro A. Cipollone Music and Personal Papers Record Series #12/9/56 Pietro A. Cipollone Music and Personal Papers, 1905−1954 Record Series 12/9/56 (9 cubic feet, 9 boxes) By Elizabeth Miller, Scott Schwartz, Eduardo Herrera and Tad Boehmer Biography Pietro A. Cipollone – musician, band leader, and composer – was born in Tocco Casauria, Italy in 1899 and studied music composition and theory with Jules Massenet, Pietro Mascagni, Giacomo Puccini, Ruggero Leoncavallo, and Francesco Paolo Tosti. He received wide acclaim in the United States and Italy for his excellence in directing of symphony orchestras and bands, and his music interpretations of traditional western−European orchestral composition. His musicianship won him praise from such renowned Italian music teachers as Cav. Omero Carraro, artistic director of the G. Campi Music House, in Foligno, Italy and Ivo Baffigi. Pietro Cipollone emigrated to the United States in 1913. While living in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania in 1933 he and local merchant Anthony Ferrari formed the Ferrari Sons Musical Club and the Ferrari Band with Cipollone as its music director. World War II brought about frequent changes of band personnel making it very difficult to sustain the band and its programming. Many of the band’s concerts were radio broadcast on WAZL from Hazelton, Pennsylvania. In addition to his work as a band director Cipollone taught private music lessons at his home and at the Philadelphia Music Center until his death in January of 1955. Further information on Cipollone can be found in Emma S. Rocco’s Italian Wind Bands: A Surviving Tradition in the Milltowns of Lawrence and Beaver Counties of Pennsylvania, G. K. Hall’s Three Centuries of American Music, and Raoul Camus’ Anthology of American Composers. Scope and Content Consists of original and published music compositions and arrangements for wind band, original and published band books, photographs, programs, news clippings, business records, sound and videotape recordings, and an award documenting Pietro A. Cipollone’s career as a composer, music educator, conductor, and director of wind ensembles in both Italy and the United States between 1905 and 1954. The papers also document Cipollone’s involvement and management of the Ferrari Band, the Royal Italian Band, and the Loyal Order of the Moose Band. In addition to Chipollone’s music original compositions there are his and other’s arrangements of works by such leading Italian and American composers as Luigi Bertolini, Giuseppe Verdi and John Philip Sousa, and Edwin Franko Goldman. The collection provides unique documentation of the melding of predominantly nineteenth− and twentieth−century Italian orchestral and wind−band composition with early twentieth−century American music traditions. Of particular interest are Cipollone’s arrangements of music compositions by John Philip Sousa. The collection is organized in four series: Series 1, Music Manuscripts, ca 1905−1954; Series 2, Published Music, ca 1900−1950; Series 3, Band Books, undated; and Series 4, Personal Papers, 1915−1954. The papers are arranged alphabetically by either title or type of material within each series. Cipollone’s original band books are arranged at the beginning of series 3. Oversized materials have been placed at the end of the collection. A composer/title index for all the music is located at the end of the finding aid. 1 Pietro A.

  • Composers Mascagni and Leoncavallo Biography
    Cavalleria Rusticana Composer Biography: Pietro Mascagni Mascagni was an Italian composer born in Livorno on December 7, 1863. His father was a baker and dreamed of a career as a lawyer for his son, but following the good reception obtained by Mascagni’s first compositions was persuaded to allow him to study music at the Milan Conservatoire, where his teachers included Amilcare Ponchielli and Michele Saladino, and where he shared a furnished room with his fellow-student Giacomo Puccini. His first compositions won him financial support to study at the Milan Conservatory. He was of a rebellious nature and intolerant of discipline, and in 1885 he left the Conservatoire to join a modest operetta company as conductor. He became part of the Compagnia Maresca and, together with his future wife, Lina Carbognani, settled in Cerignola (Apulia) in 1886, where he formed a symphony orchestra. Here Mascagni composed at a single stroke, in only two months, the one-act opera Cavalleria rusticana, based on the short story by Verga, which was to win him the first prize in the Second Sonzogno Competition for new operas. The innovative strength of the opera and the resounding worldwide success which followed its first performance (1890, Teatro Costanzi, Rome) marked the beginning of an artistic life rich in achievements and satisfactions, both as composer and as conductor. He became increasingly prominent as a conductor and in 1892 conducted his opera I Rantzau around Europe. Further successes included Amica (1905) and Isabeau (1911), alongside such failures as Le maschere (1901). In 1915 he experimented with writing for cinema in Rapsodia satanicawith Nino Oxilia.

    Nineteenth-Century Music Review, 14 (2017), pp 211–242. © Cambridge University Press, 2016 doi:10.1017/S1479409816000082 First published online 8 September 2016 Romantic Nostalgia and Wagnerismo During the Age of Verismo: The Case of Alberto Franchetti* Davide Ceriani Rowan University Email: [email protected] The world premiere of Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana on 17 May 1890 immediately became a central event in Italy’s recent operatic history. As contemporary music critic and composer, Francesco D’Arcais, wrote: Maybe for the first time, at least in quite a while, learned people, the audience and the press shared the same opinion on an opera. [Composers] called upon to choose the works to be staged, among those presented for the Sonzogno [opera] competition, immediately picked Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana as one of the best; the audience awarded this composer triumphal honours, and the press 1 unanimously praised it to the heavens. D’Arcais acknowledged Mascagni’smeritsbut,inthesamearticle,alsourgedcaution in too enthusiastically festooning the work with critical laurels: the dangers of excessive adulation had already become alarmingly apparent in numerous ill-starred precedents. In the two decades prior to its premiere, several other Italian composers similarly attained outstanding critical and popular success with a single work, but were later unable to emulate their earlier achievements. Among these composers were Filippo Marchetti (Ruy Blas, 1869), Stefano Gobatti (IGoti, 1873), Arrigo Boito (with the revised version of Mefistofele, 1875), Amilcare Ponchielli (La Gioconda, 1876) and Giovanni Bottesini (Ero e Leandro, 1879). Once again, and more than a decade after Bottesini’s one-hit wonder, D’Arcais found himself wondering whether in Mascagni ‘We [Italians] have finally [found] … the legitimate successor to [our] great composers, the person 2 who will perpetuate our musical glory?’ This hoary nationalist interrogative returned in 1890 like an old-fashioned curse.

  • The Opera: a Brief Overview
    The opera: a brief overview Claudio Toscani Cavalleria rusticana by Pietro Mascagni Pagliacci by Ruggero Leoncavallo When Pietro Mascagni won the Sonzogno prize for an opera in a single act, he was a complete unknown. Even so, the excitement roused and the extraordinary success met by Cavalleria rusticana on its first night at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 17th May 1890 are almost unknown in the history of opera. What the audience saw on stage appeared to be the fruit of a new sensitivity: the attention for the lower social classes that verist literatu - re had been preaching for some time as an inevitable necessity in politics and the arts. But that was not all: by placing ordinary characters at the centre of the opera and focusing the plot on a brutal case of the time, his Cavalleria rusticana broke the familiar mould of romantic opera, which other literary movements had failed to do. Another factor was, of course, the sharpness of the violent and dramatic action, along with an overwhelming, although not always refined musical vein. Success was immediate and worldwide. In Giovanni Verga’s short story of the same title, from which the libretto was taken, the characters move in and are deeply part of a Sicilian society imbued with age-old codes of behaviour. Their margin for initiative is practically non- existent and reflects the conviction held by Italian verists and French naturalists, that the environment has a determining influence on the individual’s psycho - logy. Therefore, the dramatic roles in Mascagni’s opera are rigid and correspond to stereotypes.

  • Note from the Maestro
    Welcome In the summer of 2006 I began a dream to allow my colleagues and me to take charge of our own musical destinies. I decided that we were capable enough, resourceful enough, passionate enough, talented enough and caring enough to prepare, organize, create and share our own opportunities with others. Under this assumption, we have now produced five shows in two cities and at four different locations; employed fifty orchestra members, thirty five singers, four rehearsal pianists, three directors, two stage managers, two conductors, two graphic designers and one movement coach; engaged and retained the loyal help of three production designers, two language coaches, two costume designers, two reporters, one publicist and countless volunteers; trained and engaged three middle-schoolers in an opera chorus; and shared our product with hundreds of audience members from New York’s Midtown to San Juan to Spanish Harlem. I have a dream, indeed, that young artists will be considered worthy of their art, that they will receive the artistic forum that they need and deserve, and that opera will be within everyone's means. I believe that with twenty five thousand dollars we can make something unique and breathtaking. I believe that we can make a real difference. Do you?

  • Pietro Mascagni Scheda Biografica CRONOLOGICA 7 Dicembre 1863
    Pietro Mascagni Scheda biografica CRONOLOGICA 7 dicembre 1863 nasce a Livorno in Piazza delle Erbe, l’attuale Piazza Cavallotti. Il padre, Domenico, di professione fornaio, era originario di San Miniato al Tedesco, la madre, Emilia Reboa, livornese. La casa natale, non più esistente, occupava il perimetro dove è stato costruito il palazzo sede odierna di una banca. 8 ottobre 1873 muore la madre, lasciando orfano Pietro ed i fratelli (Francesco, il maggiore, Carlo, Elvira e Paolo). Di lì a poco, Pietro inizia a frequentare il Ginnasio ed anche le lezioni di Musica. La sua prima “platea” è quella della chiesa di San Benedetto, nell’attuale Piazza XX Settembre, sul cui organo si esercita e suona musiche liturgiche. 1 aprile 1875 Alfredo Soffedini (1854 – 1923), livornese diplomato al conservatorio di Milano, fonda a Livorno l’Istituto Musicale Livornese che, a partire dall’anno successivo, sarà frequentato da Pietro Mascagni. Nel 1879 l’istituto sarà dedicato al musicista Luigi Cherubini. 1878 – 1880 Pietro Mascagni inizia a comporre. La prima composizione conosciuta è la romanza Duolo eterno!, che dedica al padre in ricordo della madre. La figura materna sarà presente nella musica di Pietro Mascagni fino alla maturità. Le composizioni più rilevanti del periodo sono di carattere religioso (una Ave Maria, alcuni Kyrie, un Pater Noster etc.) dove già emerge con chiarezza l’amore di Mascagni per la voce umana. Pietro Mascagni, nondimeno, compone anche due sinfonie (Prima Sinfonia in FA magg. – recentemente ritrovata – e Seconda Sinfonia in FA magg.) e la cantata In filanda (terminata il 29 gennaio 1881). A testimonianza di una personalità musicale precocemente formata, è possibile affermare che la tonalità di FA magg.

  • Mascagni Pietro
    MASCAGNI PIETRO Compositore e direttore d'orchestra (Livorno 7 XII 1863 - Roma 2 VIII 1945) 1 Frequentò la scuola cantorum di Livorno diretta da E. Bianchi, che gli impartì i primi insegnamenti musicali. Iniziò lo studio del pianoforte con E. Biagini e nel 1876 si iscrisse all'istituto musicale Cherubini di Livorno, diretto da A. Soffredini col quale studiò composizione. Nel 1877, vincendo l'opposizione del padre, che l’aveva avviato alla carriera forense, interruppe gli studi ginnasiali per dedicarsi esclusivamente alla musica, aiutato moralmente e materialmente dallo zio paterno Stefano, morto prematuramente. Nel 1882 si recò a Milano per iscriversi a quel conservatorio dove ebbe come maestri A. Ponchielli e M. Saladino: la permanenza a Milano gli fu consentita da un mensile di L. 150, assicuratogli dall'industriale F. de Larderel. Ma la permanenza di Mascagni a Milano fu breve: allontanato dal conservatorio per indisciplina, a seguito di un vivace diverbio con il direttore A. Bazzini, Mascagni si aggregò come maestro sostituto ad una compagnia d'operette e a Parma ebbe la sua prima esperienza direttoriale con Cuore e mano di A. Lecocq, esperienza che continuò a Genova con la compagnia d'operetta Scogliamiglio, e quindi a Napoli con la compagnia Maresca. Ma nel 1886, durante una sosta della compagnia a Cerignola, per la stagione di carnevale, Mascagni l'abbandonò per assumere poco dopo le funzioni di direttore della locale società musicale e dell'annessa scuola di musica. In questo periodo sposò la parmigiana Lina Carbognani. Alla notizia che l'editore Sonzogno di Milano aveva bandito un concorso per un'opera in un atto vi partecipò scrivendo Cavalleria rusticana, che ottenne il primo premio ed andò in scena al teatro Costanzi di Roma il 17 maggio 1890: il successo travolgente si rinnovò in breve nei principali teatri italiani e stranieri.
