Rienzi, der Letzte der Tribunen, grand opera in five acts, the text and music by Richard Wagner, was first brought out under the composer's direction at the Court Opera in Dresden on October 20, 1842. It was sug- gested to Wagner by reading Bulwer's novel in Dresden in 1837. He began his sketch of the text in Riga in the autumn of that year, and fin- ished it in the summer of 1838 ; he almost immediately began the music, and finished the first two acts at Riga and Mittau in the spring of 1839. The remainder of the music was written in Paris. When completed, the opera was offered to the Academie de Musique, and then to the Theatre de la Renaissance,* but was refused by both. In 1841 Wagner sent the score to Dresden, where it was accepted by the Court Opera ; it was owing to this acceptance that he returned to Germany. The music of the opera was written on the general lines of French grand opera, in emulation of the style of Spontini, Meyerbeer, and Halevy ; there are but few essentially Wagnerish traits to be discovered in it, although the characteristically Wagnerish energy shows itself on almost every page. All the themes of the overture are taken from the body of the work. It begins with a slow introduction, Molto sostenuto e maestoso in D major (4-4 time), opening with a long-sustained, swelled and diminished A on the trumpet — in the opera, the agreed signal for the uprising of the people to throw off the tyrannical yoke of the nobles. Soon comes a majestic canti- lena of the violins and 'celli — the theme of Rienzi's prayer in the fifth act — the development of which is cut short by some stormy passage-work, leading in crescendo to a fortissimo return of the theme in all the brass, against ascending series of turns in the first violins. f Again is the devel- opment of the majestic melody interrupted, and some recitative-like phrases lead to a return of the trumpet call, interspersed with shuddering tremolos in the strings, the last long-drawn A leading over to the main body of the overture. * Not the present house of that name, on the corner of the boulevard Saint-Martin and the rue de Bondy (now managed by Mme Sarah Bernhardt), but the older theatre (now changed into a bank), once better known as the Theatre-Italien, or Salle-Ventadour. t These series of turns in the violins may be regarded as the first symptom in Wagner of that whirling violin accompaniment to a melody in the brass which we find in Tannhduser. Wagner himself said that the Tann- hduser violin figure was suggested to him by a violin passage in Bellini's Norma. Curiously enough, however, a very similar violin effect is to be found in the choral finale of Berlioz's Romeo et Juliette; it is more like the figure in Tannhduser than the one in Rienzi, being descending instead of ascending. Berlioz's symphony was written in 1838-39, about the same time that Wagner was at work on the music of Rienzi. ATonie FOR BRAIN-WORKERS, THE WEAK AND DEBILITATED. Horsford's Acid Phosphate Is, without exception, the Best Remedy for relieving Mental and Nervous Exhaustion ; and, where the system has become debilitated by disease, it acts as a general tonic and vitalizer, affording sustenance to both brain and body. Dr. E. Cornell Easten, Philadelphia, Pa., says, "I have met with the greatest and most satisfactory results in dyspepsia and general derangement of the cerebral and nervous systems, causing debility and exhaustion."

(842) This Allegro energico in D major (2-2 time) begins fortissimo in th: full orchestra on the first theme — that of the chorus " Gegrusst set, hoher Tag!" at the beginning of the first finale of the opera — leading to the entrance of the first subsidiary in the brass — the theme of the battle- hymn, " Santo spirito cavaliere" of the revolutionary Rienzi faction in the third act. A transitional passage in the 'celli leads to the entrance of the second theme — that of Rienzi's prayer, already heard in the intro- duction of the overture — which is now given out in Allegro in the domi- nant, A major, by the violins. The "Santo spirito cavaliere" theme re- turns again in the brass, leading to the conclusion-theme — that of the stretto of the second finale, " Rienzi, dir sei Preis " ; — this joyful theme is developed by fuller and fuller orchestra, ending the first part of the movement. The free fantasia is short, and almost wholly devoted to a tempestuous working-out of the " Santo spirito cavaliere." The third part of the move- ment is an abbreviated repetition of the first, the battle-hymn and second theme being omitted, and the first theme being followed immediately by the conclusion-theme, against which the trumpets and trombones now play a resounding counter-theme — very like the phrase of the disappointed nobles, " J7a, dieser Gnade Schmach erdruckt das stolze Herz!" in the second finale, — leading over to the coda, Molto piu stretto, in which the "Santo spirito cavaliere" undergoes some exceedingly stormy develop- ments in crescendo. This overture is scored for 1 piccolo-flute, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clari- nets, 2 valve-horns, 2 plain horns, 2 bassoons, 1 serpent, 2 valve-trumpets, 2 plain trumpets, 3 trombones, 1 ophicleide, 1 pair of kettle-drums, 2 snare- drums, * triangle, bass-drum and cymbals, and the usual strings.

    Synopsis Prologue Mythical times. At night in the mountains, the three Norns, daughters of Erda, weave the rope of destiny. They tell how Wotan ordered the World Ash Tree, from which his spear was once cut, to be felled and its wood piled around Valhalla. The burning of the pyre will mark the end of the old order. Suddenly, the rope breaks. Their wisdom ended, the Norns descend into the earth. Dawn breaks on the Valkyries’ rock, and Siegfried and Brünnhilde emerge. Having cast protective spells on Siegfried, Brünnhilde sends him into the world to do heroic deeds. As a pledge of his love, Siegfried gives her the ring that he took from the dragon Fafner, and she offers her horse, Grane, in return. Siegfried sets off on his travels. Act I In the hall of the Gibichungs on the banks of the Rhine, Hagen advises his half- siblings, Gunther and Gutrune, to strengthen their rule through marriage. He suggests Brünnhilde as Gunther’s bride and Siegfried as Gutrune’s husband. Since only the strongest hero can pass through the fire on Brünnhilde’s rock, Hagen proposes a plan: A potion will make Siegfried forget Brünnhilde and fall in love with Gutrune. To win her, he will claim Brünnhilde for Gunther. When Siegfried’s horn is heard from the river, Hagen calls him ashore. Gutrune offers him the potion. Siegfried drinks and immediately confesses his love for her.Ð When Gunther describes the perils of winning his chosen bride, Siegfried offers to use the Tarnhelm to transform himself into Gunther.

  • Musical Landmarks in New York
    MUSICAL LANDMARKS IN NEW YORK By CESAR SAERCHINGER HE great war has stopped, or at least interrupted, the annual exodus of American music students and pilgrims to the shrines T of the muse. What years of agitation on the part of America- first boosters—agitation to keep our students at home and to earn recognition for our great cities as real centers of musical culture—have not succeeded in doing, this world catastrophe has brought about at a stroke, giving an extreme illustration of the proverb concerning the ill wind. Thus New York, for in- stance, has become a great musical center—one might even say the musical center of the world—for a majority of the world's greatest artists and teachers. Even a goodly proportion of its most eminent composers are gathered within its confines. Amer- ica as a whole has correspondingly advanced in rank among musical nations. Never before has native art received such serious attention. Our opera houses produce works by Americans as a matter of course; our concert artists find it popular to in- clude American compositions on their programs; our publishing houses publish new works by Americans as well as by foreigners who before the war would not have thought of choosing an Amer- ican publisher. In a word, America has taken the lead in mu- sical activity. What, then, is lacking? That we are going to retain this supremacy now that peace has come is not likely. But may we not look forward at least to taking our place beside the other great nations of the world, instead of relapsing into the status of a colony paying tribute to the mother country? Can not New York and Boston and Chicago become capitals in the empire of art instead of mere outposts? I am afraid that many of our students and musicians, for four years compelled to "make the best of it" in New York, are already looking eastward, preparing to set sail for Europe, in search of knowledge, inspiration and— atmosphere.

  • Pearls and Rarities of the Welte Organ Roll Collection by David Rumsey
    Pearls and rarities of the Welte organ roll collection by David Rumsey Hofner, Diebold, Philipp and the world’s earliest recorded organists The earliest-born of all Welte’s organists seem to have been Carl Hofner and Johann Diebold. Judging by the catalogue numbers Franz Philipp, born half a century later, was possibly the first organist ever to record while still a student (see later). The honour of being first might also have been bestowed on one or two other now-obscure identities, e.g. A. Maenner or “Frey”. However, Hofner and Diebold had at least 5 known rolls rolls released by 1912, Philipp only one (Salvator Rosa’s Canzonetta:Nah und fern on W474). Maenner’s only known dated release is 1922 which is also about when Philipp’s main output of rolls started to appear. Some of these early rolls might have been played in Turin at the 1911 exhibition which ran from April to October, since the advertizing expressly stated: “Philharmonie- Orgel mit Künstlerrollen” (Philharmonic Organ with artist-recorded rolls)1. Carl Hofner 19th/early-20thc German organist and composer, also possibly noted for his improvisation. *1842 Jan 23: Inchenhofen/Augsburg (D) - studied for 5 years at the Munich Conservatorium then spent 8 years as “Music-Prefect” at the monastery school at Metten 1868 Oct: teaching position at the Church Music School in Freiburg/Breisgau; regular duties for the 9 a.m. service at the Münster 1871 Jan 1 began officially as organist at Freiburg Münster 1878 taught Joseph Schildknecht (an important Swiss organist) †1912 May 19 Freiburg (D) Hofner’s playing of Bach’s music represents the closest training to Bach’s own era.
