If you prick us, do we not bleed? Antonio agrees, but since he is cash-poor — his ships and merchandise are busy at sea to Tripolisthe IndiesMexico and England — he promises to cover a bond if Bassanio can find a lender, so Bassanio turns to the Jewish moneylender Shylock and names Antonio as the loan's guarantor. The depiction of Jews in literature throughout the centuries bears the close imprint of Shylock. Bassanio and Gratiano leave for Venice, with money from Portia, to save Antonio's life by offering the money to Shylock. Sheva, the Benevolent.

Wallingford Riegger
WALLINGFORD RIEGGER: Romanza — Music for Orchestra Alfredo Antonini conducting the Orchestra of the “Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia-Roma” Dance Rhythms Alfredo Antonini conducting the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra THIS RELEASE is but further evidence of the growing and gratifying tendency of recent years to recognize Wallingford Riegger as one of the leading and most influential figures in twentieth century American composition, in fact as the dean of American composers. Herbert Elwell, music critic of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, said it in April, 1956: “I am coming more and more to the conclusion that it is Riegger who has been the real leader and pathfinder in contemporary American music . not only a master of his craft but in some ways a prophet and a seer.” In the same month, in Musical America, Robert Sabin wrote: “I firmly believe that his work will outlast that of many an American composer who has enjoyed far greater momentary fame.” Riegger was born in Albany, Georgia, on April 29, 1885. Both his parents were amateur musicians and were determined to encourage their children in musical study. When the family moved to New York in 1900, the young Wallingford was enrolled at the Institute of Musical Art where he studied the cello and composition. Graduating from there in 1907 Riegger then went to Germany to study at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin with Max Bruch. In 1915-1916 he conducted opera in Würzburg and Königsberg and the following season he led the Blüthner Orchestra in Berlin. Since his return to the United States in 1917, he has been active in many phases of our musical life. -

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract This monograph examines the post-exile, multi-version works of Sergei Rachmaninoff with a view to unravelling the sophisticated web of meanings and values attached to them. Compositional revision is an important and complex aspect of creating musical meaning. Considering revision offers an important perspective on the construction and circulation of meanings and discourses attending Rachmaninoff’s music. While Rachmaninoff achieved international recognition during the 1890s as a distinctively Russian musician, I argue that Rachmaninoff’s return to certain compositions through revision played a crucial role in the creation of a narrative and set of tropes representing “Russian diaspora” following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. -

Ellen Rose, Viola Kristin Ditlow, Piano “There Are No Foreign Lands
AF1808 PROVIDENCE Ellen Rose, viola Kristin Ditlow, piano “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.” —Robert Louis Stevenson Any listener receiving the gift of the music on this disc might assume that the musical partnership between Ellen Rose and Kristin Ditlow began somewhere in the United States, but it was quite the contrary. It began in an airport shuttle in 2011 from the Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport to Sárospatak, Hungary. The destination of the shuttle was the Crescendo Nyári Akademia (Crescendo Summer Institute). A conversation that began between the newly- introduced musical colleagues yielded a promise to play together on a Tune-In (informal morning chapel) service. The piece was the fifth movement of Messiaen’s Quatour pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the End of Time), and the title, Louange à l’Éternité de Jésus (Praise to the Eternity of Jesus). While this work was originally for cello and piano, it was arranged for viola by Ellen Rose. The performance took place about a week later. One of our faculty colleagues, Mari Salli (a pianist, originally from Finland, faculty member in Hungary, and working in mainland China) extended an invitation to the duo to perform during the 2012-2013 season at the National Theater in Kunming, China in the Yunnan Province. This invitation proved to be the center around which a multi-city tour was formed. From rehearsals and long-distance conversations, concerts planned, to tickets purchased, we embarked across the Pacific for a three-week tour of Beijing, Shanghai, and Kunming.
