[680] THREE PRELUDES TO "PALESTRINA" - MUSICAL LEGEND By Hans Pfitzner (Born in Moscow May 5, 1869; died in Salzburg May 22, 1949) "Palestrina," Musikalische Legende, was first performed in Munich under the direction of Bruno Walter, June 12, 1917. It was performed in Central European opera houses during the first World War. Wilhelm Mengelberg introduced the preludes to the three acts at the concerts of the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Society, November 11, 1926. The preludes call for the following orchestra: four flutes and piccolo, two oboes and English horn, two clarinets, E-flat clarinet, and bass clarinet, three bassoons and contra-bassoon, six horns, four trumpets, four trombones and tuba, timpani, tam-tam, chimes, snare drum, cymbals, harp and strings. It could be said that when Hans Pfitzner died in the spring past, seventeen days short of 81, the last exponent of a romantic era in German opera had gone. More than thirty years had passed since Palestrina had made its mark in Central Europe, and Palestrina, like its predecessors, had long ceased to hold the stage. Yet Palestrina was received with admiration in its day. It may have been the com- poser's preoccupation with a high-minded subject, the absence of any "love interest" or other popular elements which have prevented this [68,] opera from finding its way into many opera houses, or assuring its composer a continuing livelihood in his old age. Financial success has never come to him, either from his works or from his conducting. As a result of the war bombing, he lost three homes in succession, according to a news report of his death, and the subsequent inflation reduced his income to the vanishing point. Some still remembered him as an outstanding figure in the world of music, and in his last years he was supported by contribution from the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. "Palestrina," set to a libretto by the composer, was once much applauded in Central Europe. There is no female part save the incidental one of the ghost of Palestrina's wife in the first act, nor is the plot conspicuous for outward action. It is based on a legend that the 16th-century composer once saved music as a developed contrapuntal art from being banned from the church by composing for the Pope his Missa Papae Marcelli. In Act One, Palestrina is seen grieving over the death of his wife, Lucrezia. Cardinal Barromeo visits him and tells him that the Council of Trent is about to prohibit all music except Gregorian plainsong in the church service. Palestrina refuses to combat this edict and says he will compose no more music.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

  • Chapter 6. the Voice of the Other America: African
    Chapter 6 Th e Voice of the Other America African-American Music and Political Protest in the German Democratic Republic Michael Rauhut African-American music represents a synthesis of African and European tradi- tions, its origins reaching as far back as the early sixteenth century to the begin- ning of the systematic importation of “black” slaves to the European colonies of the American continent.1 Out of a plethora of forms and styles, three basic pil- lars of African-American music came to prominence during the wave of indus- trialization that took place at the start of the twentieth century: blues, jazz, and gospel. Th ese forms laid the foundation for nearly all important developments in popular music up to the present—whether R&B, soul and funk, house music, or hip-hop. Th anks to its continual innovation and evolution, African-American music has become a constitutive presence in the daily life of several generations. In East Germany, as throughout European countries on both sides of the Iron Curtain, manifold directions and derivatives of these forms took root. Th ey were carried through the airwaves and seeped into cultural niches until, fi nally, this music landed on the political agenda. Both fans and functionaries discovered an enormous social potential beneath the melodious surface, even if their aims were for the most part in opposition. For the government, the implicit rejection of the communist social model represented by African-American music was seen as a security issue and a threat to the stability of the system. Even though the state’s reactions became weaker over time, the offi cial interaction with African-American music retained a political connotation for the life of the regime.

  • Guarding the Historical Record from the Nazi-Era Art Litigation Tumbling Toward the Supreme Court
    ESSAY GUARDING THE HISTORICAL RECORD FROM THE NAZI-ERA ART LITIGATION TUMBLING TOWARD THE SUPREME COURT † JENNIFER ANGLIM KREDER When the modern wave of claims against museums to recover paintings “displaced” during the Nazi era began, I, as an academic, approached the claims cautiously because I assumed that our es- teemed institutions would not have knowingly profited from the spoli- ation of property belonging to millions of persecuted refugees. I was wrong. I have come to understand, based on objective, historically sound records, that a significant number of our museums during and in the aftermath of the Holocaust actively acquired art that they knew or should have recognized likely came from Jewish homes and busi- nesses. These museums acquired this exquisite art despite widespread knowledge of Nazi looting and governmental warnings about the in- fection of the art market.1 Now, museums are using American courts to shut down inquiries into such art’s history by blocking claims on technical grounds,2 contrary to their own ethics guidelines3 and U.S. executive policy.4 † Jennifer Anglim Kreder is a Professor of Law at the Salmon P. Chase College of Law, Northern Kentucky University. She has been involved in Holocaust-era and art litigation since 1999 and currently serves as Co-Chair of the American Society of Inter- national Law Interest Group on Cultural Heritage and the Arts. 1 See Raymond J. Dowd, Federal Courts and Stolen Art: Our Duty to History, FED. LAW., July 2008, at 4, 4-6 (discussing a 1950 U.S. State Department bulletin on re- ports of stolen art).

    Restitutions For museums that hold even some of the approximately 20,000 European paintings that could have been in Europe between 1933—1945, gathering provenance information is an enormous undertaking; nonetheless, they have all taken upon themselves as much research as their resources permit.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Beyond Creativity: Copyright as Knowledge Law Michael J. Madison* ABSTRACT The Supreme Court's copyright jurisprudence of the last 100 years has embraced the creativity trope. Spurred in part by themes associatedwith the story of "romanticauthorship" in the 19th and 20th centuries, copyright critiques likewise ask, "Who is creative?" "How should creativity be protected (or not) and encouraged (or not)?" and "Why protect creativity?" Policy debates and scholarship in recent years have focused on the concept of creativity in framing copyright disputes, transactions, and institutions, reinforcing the notion that these are the central copyright questions. I suggest that this focus on the creativity trope is unhelpful. I argue that digital technologies and the explosion of amateur art challenge the usefulness of creativity as the organizing principle for copyright law. I propose that knowledge should be restored as copyright's core concept.

  • Double Burden: the Black Experience in Pittsburgh
    Double Burden: The Black Experience in Pittsburgh Laurence Glasco History Department University of Pittsburgh Scholarly studies of black Pittsburgh are numerous but uneven in their coverage. In the 1930s the Works Progress Administration (WPA) assembled a rich body of material on the social life, politics, and even folklore of the city's blacks. But the projected general history was never completed, and its unedited pages until recently lay forgotten in the state archives. The gap left by the lack of a general history, moreover, is not filled by specialized studies because these are uneven in their coverage. The nineteenth century, for example, has been especially neglected: the scholarly literature on that period consists of one article, one dissertation, and one undergraduate thesis, all of which focus on the antislavery movement of the Civil War era. The twentieth century, in contrast, has received considerable attention. The period between World War I and World War II has been especially well covered: over one hundred specialized studies--including fifty-six master's theses and dissertations--describe the adjustment problems of black migrants and the emergence of the Hill district as a predominantly black ghetto. The years following World War II also have interested scholars: more than fifty studies--primarily doctoral dissertations--examine the racial dimensions of poverty, segregation, and governmental efforts to alleviate those conditions. Finally, black Pittsburgh from approximately 1930 to 1980 has been visually well documented in the collection of Teenie Harris, a photographer for the Pittsburgh Courier whose 50,000 to 100,000 photographs rival those of New York's Vander Zee collection in portraying the texture of black urban life.

The collective exhibition La Vie simple – Simplement la vie (“The Simple Life – Sim- ply Life”) presents the works of young artists in dialogue with the work of Vincent van Gogh and with examples of popular and folk art, and thereby updates our fantasies and stereotypical notions of an alluring and romanticized style of living. The “simple life” in its most ideal and idealized form is a space that carries very positive connotations. Given the loss of contact with the natural world caused by the advent and omnipresence of digital technologies, the desire to invoke the senses, to touch living matter and to grasp real space has never been more present.
