Dezember 2004 — 2 Liebe Mitglieder! Leider ist jetzt doch fast ein Jahr vergangen, bis Sie einen zweiten Rund- brief in den Händen halten. Dabei waren die Reaktionen auf den ersten durchaus positiv und ermunternd. Doch hatte mich im Herbst die Redaktion der ersten Buch-Publikation (s. S. 15) so fest im Griff, daß ich beim besten Willen zu nichts anderem gekommen bin. Dem Wunsch, den Rundbrief zu einem Forum der Mitglieder zu machen, konn- ten wir bei Nr. 2 bereits etwas näher kommen. Wir bitten auch weiterhin alle Mitglieder, uns Berichte von Aufführungen etc. zu schicken. Vielleicht ist auch jemand interessiert, CD-Rezensionen zu schreiben? Wir wünschen allen Mitgliedern eine schöne Vorweihnachtszeit und alles Gute zum neuen Jahr, in dem wir uns hoffentlich zahlreich wiedersehen werden.

Uniting Commedia Dell'arte Traditions with the Spieltenor Repertoire
UNITING COMMEDIA DELL’ARTE TRADITIONS WITH THE SPIELTENOR REPERTOIRE Corey Trahan, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2012 APPROVED: Stephen Austin, Major Professor Paula Homer, Committee Member Lynn Eustis, Committee Member and Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James Scott, Dean of the School of Music James R. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Trahan, Corey, Uniting Commedia dell’Arte Traditions with the Spieltenor repertoire. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2012, 85 pp., 6 tables, 35 illustrations, references, 84 titles. Sixteenth century commedia dell’arte actors relied on gaudy costumes, physical humor and improvisation to entertain audiences. The spieltenor in the modern operatic repertoire has a similar comedic role. Would today’s spieltenor benefit from consulting the commedia dell’arte’s traditions? To answer this question, I examine the commedia dell’arte’s history, stock characters and performance traditions of early troupes. The spieltenor is discussed in terms of vocal pedagogy and the fach system. I reference critical studies of the commedia dell’arte, sources on improvisatory acting, articles on theatrical masks and costuming, the commedia dell’arte as depicted by visual artists, commedia dell’arte techniques of movement, stances and postures. In addition, I cite vocal pedagogy articles, operatic repertoire and sources on the fach system. My findings suggest that a valid relationship exists between the commedia dell’arte stock characters and the spieltenor roles in the operatic repertoire. I present five case studies, pairing five stock characters with five spieltenor roles. -
The Physician As Opera Character
The physician as opera character - a reflection of medical history and public perception Stefan N. Willich Institute for Social Medicine, Epidemiology and Health Economics Charité University Medical Center Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany Address for correspondence: Prof. Stefan N. Willich Institute for Social Medicine, Epidemiology and Health Economics Charité University Medical Center 10098 Berlin, Germany Tel: 030-450 529002, Fax: 030-450 529902 E-mail: [email protected] The Physician as Opera Character - A Reflection of Medical History and Public Perception Abstract/ Summary Physician characters appear in about 10% of the opera repertoire. The doctor’s importance, basis of knowledge, social status, and role in the opera change in the historic development of opera. Whereas in the 18th century the doctor does not have a healing function but plays a buffoon in a supportive role, in the 19th century he appears both as charlatan and already as a scientifically trained physician. In the 20th century, the doctor plays a major role in a socially superior position and, in addition to being a clinician, he is often depicted as a researcher. The dynamics of the physician’s role in opera history, on the one hand, reflects the development of medicine and, on the other hand, illustrates the development of the social position of doctors and the public attitude towards the medical profession over the last centuries. Key Words Physician, doctor, charlatan, opera, libretto, music 1 Introduction and methodological considerations Music is arguably the most abstract form of art. It was long considered one of the seven ‘artes liberales’ at European universities (along with grammar, dialectic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry and astronomy) that were a prerequisite for advanced graduate studies (1). -

Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father. -
