Founded in 1872, the School of Music Combines the Intimacy and Intensity of Conservatory Train Founded in 1872, the School of Music combines the intimacy and intensity of conservatory train- ing with a broadly based, traditional liberal arts education at the undergraduate level and intense coursework at the graduate level. The school offers degrees in performance, composition and theory, musicology, music education, collaborative piano, historical performance, as well as a certificate program in its Opera Institute, and artist and performance diplomas. Founded in 1839, Boston University is an internationally recognized private research university with more than 32,000 students participating in undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. BU consists of 17 colleges and schools along with a number of multidisciplinary cen- ters and institutes which are central to the school’s research and teaching mission. The Boston University College of Fine Arts was created in 1954 to bring together the School of Music, the School of Theatre, and the School of Visual Arts. The University’s vision was to create a com- munity of artists in a conservatory-style school offering professional training in the arts to both undergraduate and graduate students, complemented by a liberal arts curriculum for under- graduate students. Since those early days, education at the College of Fine Arts has begun on the BU campus and extended into the city of Boston, a rich center of cultural, artistic and intellectual activity.

Слышишь, сани мчатся в ряд, Hear the sleighs rush along in line, Мчатся в ряд! They rush along in line! Колокольчики звенят, The little bells tinkle, Серебристым легким звоном слух наш With their light, silvery ringing сладостно томят, they sweetly tire our hearing, Этим пеньем и гуденьем With their singing and jingling о забвенье говорят. they tell of oblivion. О, как звонко, звонко, звонко, Oh, how clearly, clearly, clearly, Точно звучный смех ребенка, Like the rining laughter of a child, В ясном воздухе ночном In the clear night air Говорят они о том, They tell the tale of how, Что за днями заблужденья After days of delusion Наступает возрожденье, Rebirth will follow, Что волшебно наслажденье - Magical delight – наслажденье нежным сном. the delight of their tender sleep. Сани мчатся, мчатся в ряд, The sleighs rush along in line, Колокольчики звенят, The little bells tinkle, Звезды слушают, как сани, убегая, The stars listen as the sleighs, fleeing, говорят, speak, И, внимая им, горят, And heeding them, they shine, И мечтая, и блистая, And dreaming, and twinkling, в небе духами парят; they hover in the sky like spirits; И изменчивым сияньем, And with their flickering radiance, Молчаливым обаяньем, With their silent enchantment, Вместе с звоном, вместе Together with the ringing, together with с пеньем, о забвенье говорят the singing, they tell of oblivion. II. Слышишь к свадьбе зов святой, Золотой! Hear the holy golden call to the wedding! Сколько нежного блаженства How much tender bliss there is в этой песне молодой! in this youthful song! Сквозь спокойный воздух ночи Through the calm night air, Словно смотрят чьи-то очи It’s as if someone’s eyes are watching И блестят, And shining, Из волны певучих звуков Out of the wave of melodious sounds на луну они глядят. they gaze at the moon. Из призывных дивных келий, Out of their inviting, wondrous cells, Полны сказочных веселий, Full of fairytale delights, Нарастая, упадая, брызги светлые летят. Rising, falling, the bright sparks fly. Вновь потухнут, вновь блестят They go out again, they shine again, 2 И роняют светлый взгляд And they cast their bright gaze На грядущее, где дремлет On the future, where slumbers безмятежность нежных снов, the serenity of sweet dreams, Возвещаемых согласьем Proclaimed by the harmony золотых колоколов! of the golden bells! III. Слышишь, воющий набат, Hear the howling alarm bell, Точно стонет медный ад! Like the groaning of a brazen hell! Эти звуки, в дикой муке, These sounds in their savage torment сказку ужасов твердят. repeat a tale of horror. Точно молят им помочь, As though begging for help, Крик кидают прямо в ночь, They hurl their cry into the night, Прямо в уши темной ночи Straight into the ears of the dark night. Каждый звук, Each sound, То длиннее, то короче, Now longer, now shorter, Выкликает свой испуг, - Calls out its fright, – И испуг их так велик, And their fright is so great, Так безумен каждый крик, So mad is each shout, Что разорванные звоны, That the tormented bells, неспособные звучать, unable to sound, Могут только биться, виться, Can only batter, writhe, и кричать, кричать, кричать! and shout, shout, shout! Только плакать о пощаде They can only weep for mercy, И к пылающей громаде And to the mass of flames Вопли скорби обращать! Address their wails of grief! А меж тем огонь безумный, And meanwhile the frantic fire, И глухой и многошумный, Both deaf and full of noises, Все горит, Keeps burning, То из окон, то по крыше, Now from the windows, now along the roof, Мчится выше, выше, выше, It rushes higher, higher, higher, И как будто говорит: And seems to say: Я хочу I want Выше мчаться, разгораться To rush higher, to flare up встречу лунному лучу, towards the moonbeam, Иль умру, иль тотчас-тотчас вплоть I’ll either die out or immediately до месяца взлечу! fly right up to the moon! О, набат, набат, набат, Oh, alarm bell, alarm bell, alarm bell, Если б ты вернул назад If you had only turned away Этот ужас, это пламя, эту искру, This horrow, this flame, this spark, этот взгляд, this glance, Этот первый взгляд огня, This first glance of the fire, О котором ты вещаешь, с плачем, About which you prophesy, with weeping, с воплем и звеня! with wailing and ringing! А теперь нам нет спасенья, And now there is no salvation for us, Всюду пламя и кипенье, The flames seethe everywhere, Всюду страх и возмущенье! Everywhere is fear and turmoil! Твой призыв, Your call, 3 Диких звуков несогласность The discord of wild sounds Возвещает нам опасность, Proclaims to us the danger, То растет беда глухая, то спадает, The hollow sound of misfortune rises and как прилив! falls like the tide. Слух наш чутко ловит волны Our hearing distinctly catches the waves в перемене звуковой, of changing sounds, Вновь спадает, вновь рыдает It falls again, it sobs again, медно-стонущий прибой. the brazen, groaning surf. IV. Похоронный слышен звон, The funeral knell can be heard, Долгий звон! The long knell! Горькой скорби слышны звуки, The sounds of bitter grief can be heard, горькой жизни кончен сон. the dream of bitter life has ended. Звук железный возвещает The iron sound proclaims о печали похорон! the sorrow of the funeral! И невольно мы дрожим, And we involuntarily shudder, От забав своих спешим We hurry away from our pastimes, И рыдаем, вспоминаем, And we sob, and recall что и мы глаза смежим. that we too shall close our eyes. Неизменно-монотонный, Invariably monotonous, Этот возглас отдаленный, This distant cry, Похоронный тяжкий звон, The heavy funeral knell, Точно стон, Like a gron, Скорбный, гневный Doleful, wrathful, И плачевный, And mournful, Вырастает в долгий гул, It grows into a long rumbling, Возвещает, что страдалец It proclaims that the sufferer непробудным сном уснул. has fallen into eternal sleep. В колокольных кельях ржавых In the belfry’s rusty cells, Он для правых и неправых For the righteous and unrighteous Грозно вторит об одном: It menacingly repeats a single thing: Что на сердце будет камень, That there will be a stone on your heart, что глаза сомкнутся сном. that your eyes will close in sleep. Факел траурный горит, The funeral torch burns, С колокольни кто-то крикнул, From the belfry someone has shouted, кто-то громко говорит, someone is speaking loudly, Кто-то черный там стоит, A dark figure stands there, И хохочет, и гремит, He laughs and tolls, И гудит, гудит, гудит, And roars, roars, roars, К колокольне припадает, He presses against the belfry, Гулкий колокол качает - And swings the booming bell, Гулкий колокол рыдает, The booming bell sobs, Стонет в воздухе немом It groans in the mute air, И протяжно возвещает о покое And proclaims at length the peace of the гробом. grave. —Prepared by Dr. Keith Langston, University of Georgia Department of Germanic and Slavic Lanugaes 4 The Bells Edgar Allen Poe I. Hear the sledges with the bells- Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night! While the stars that oversprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells- From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

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.

Double and other multiple concertos were quite common in the High Baroque, including lots of examples by Vivaldi and, under his influence, Bach, but the solo concerto dominates the Classical period and beyond, with relatively few notable exceptions—Mozart’s two-piano concerto and sinfonias concertante, Beethoven’s Triple, Brahms’s Double—remaining solidly in today’s orchestral repertoire. This concert’s variety of approaches has as its chronological and stylistic extremes Michael Tippett’s 1939 GER Concerto for Double String Orchestra—one of the composer’s first works of significance— N and the brand-new, up-to-the-moment world premiere of the Double Concerto for Baritone GRAI Saxophone, Percussion, and Orchestra written for BMOP by Pittsburgh-based Mathew CLIVE Rosenblum.
