  • Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakow (Geb. Tichwin, 18. März 1844 – Gest. St. Petersburg, 21. Juni 1908) Majskaja Notsch («Die Mainacht»
    Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakow (geb. Tichwin, 18. März 1844 – gest. St. Petersburg, 21. Juni 1908) Majskaja notsch («Die Mainacht») Komische Oper in drei Akten (1878/79) Libretto des Komponisten nach der gleichnamigen Erzählung Gogols Vorwort Für den jungen Rimsky-Korsakow war der Monat Dezember 1871 eine Zeit voller Zauber. Zum einen verlobte er sich mit der schönen und intelligenten Nadeshda Purgold, einer vorzüglichen Pianistin, die damals Rimsky-Korsakow an rein musikalischen Fähigkeiten weit übertraf. Am Abend des Heiratsantrags lasen sich die beiden Liebenden gegenseitig aus der Sammlung der Volkserzählungen Wetschera na chutore blis Dikanki («Abende auf dem Vorwerk bei Dikanka», 1831/32) vor, wobei sie bald auf die Erzählung „Mainacht, oder Die Ertrunkene“ stießen. Von der Schönheit des neuartigen Schreibstils und der vielschichtigen volkstümlichen Kulisse entzückt, regte Nadeshda den Komponisten am gleichen Abend an, eine Oper über die Erzählung zu schreiben. Auch nach der Hochzeit im Jahre 1872 wiederholte sie immer wieder ihre Anregung, die schließlich dazu führte, daß 1878 Rimsky-Korsakow 1878 mit der Arbeit an seiner zweiten Oper Die Mainacht begann. Bei der Gogolschen Sammlung handelt es sich um ein Frühwerk, das im Ton und Inhalt von seinen späteren satirischen Meisterwerken Revisor (1836) und den Toten Seelen (1842) noch weit entfernt war. Nichtsdestotrotz fand das Werk bei der russischen literarischen Intelligenz sofort Anklang – und noch mehr bei den damaligen russischen Komponisten. Die Erzählungen dienten als Vorlagen zu einer Vielzahl russischer Opernpartituren des 19. Jahrhunderts, darunter vor allem die unvollendete komische Oper Mussorgskis Der Jahrmarkt von Sorotschinzy (1876-81) sowie Tschaikowskys Oper Der Schmied Wakula (1876), die später auch in einer überarbeiteten Fassung als Die Pantöffelchen (1887) erschien.

A Comparison of Rhythm, Articulation, and Harmony in Jean-Michel Defaye’s À la Manière de Stravinsky pour Trombone et Piano to Common Compositional Strategies of Igor Stravinsky. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2014, 45 pp., 2 tables, 27 examples, references, 28 titles. À la Manière de Stravinsky is one piece in a series of works composed by Jean- Michel Defaye that written emulating the compositional styles of significant composers of the past. This dissertation compares Defaye’s work to common compositional practices of Igor Stravinsky (1882 – 1971). There is currently limited study of Defaye’s set of À la Manière pieces and their imitative characteristics. The first section of this dissertation presents the significance of the project, current literature, and methods of examination. The next section provides critical information on Jean-Michel Defaye and Igor Stravinsky. The following three chapters contain a compositional comparison of À la Manière de Stravinsky to Stravinsky’s use of rhythm, articulation, and harmony. The final section draws a conclusion of the piece’s significance in the solo trombone repertoire.

  • Alexander Henry Higginson Scrapbooks 1899-1926
    Archives & Manuscript Collections National Sporting Library Middleburg, VA Alexander Henry Higginson Scrapbooks 1899-1926 Name: Higginson, Alexander Henry (1876-1958) MC0012 Materials: Scrapbooks Dates: 1899-1926 Volume: 6 cubic feet Donation: Gift of Thomas Marston, 1978 and 1979 Usage: Unless otherwise stated by NSL staff, these records are open for research without restrictions. Biographical Note Alexander Henry Higginson was born on April 2, 1876, the son of prominent Bostonians Major Henry Lee and Ida Agassiz Higginson. A businessman, Henry Lee was a patron of the arts and education in Boston: he donated the land and money for Harvard University’s Soldier Field and the student union. He was best known for the establishment and lifelong patronage of the Boston Symphony. His wife, Ida, was the daughter of famed biologist Jean Louis Agassiz, professor of Natural History at Harvard. Being born into such a family afforded young Alexander many opportunities not enjoyed by many. He received his early education from private tutors because he often misbehaved at school and was often asked to leave. After graduating from the school of John Hopkinson of Boston in 1894, Higginson followed in his father’s footsteps and entered Harvard. He graduated in 1898, having studied mostly science and history in an attempt to become an ornithologist. A specimen-collecting stint for the government in Columbia Falls, Montana in November 1898 quickly erased that idea from his mind. Higginson returned to Massachusetts and settled into the life of a country gentleman at his farm in Lincoln. His ability to do so was due wholly to the efforts of his father, who recognized in the young man an ardor for the sporting life of leisure and little inclination for business.
