  • A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
    A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources.

  • Carlo Goldoni and the Dramma Giocoso Per Musica XXX S
    VI. Goldoni’s Musical Legacy Between 1749 and 1761, Venetian theatres produced a total of 69 new comic operas.181Of these, 44 used libretti by Carlo Goldoni. After he left Venice, Goldoni’s drammi giocosi continued to receive perfor- mance every year until 1768. Over the entire arc of the 18th century, an estimate of nearly 2000 comic operas were produced in all of Italy, of which 283 productions with our author’s texts. Goldoni’s texts began to circulate outside of Italy as early as the 1749, launching the dramma giocoso throughout the whole of Europe. Within his own lifetime, Goldoni’s publication history provides further testimony of the wide circulation of his work. In the preface to the Pasquali edition (one of the last undertaken during his life), Goldoni offers this modest summary: Ecco dunque alla luce del mondo il primo tomo della nuova edizione delle mie Commedie, ed eccolo a fronte di altre dieci edizioni che lo hanno fin’or prevenuto, ed hanno, posso dir senza ostentazione, empito il mondo delle Opere mie (…) Cinque edizioni del Bettinelli, una del Pitteri in Venezia, la mia di Firenze, quan- tunque spacciata prima di terminarla; le ristampe di Pesaro, di Torino, di Napoli, di Bologna; le traduzioni in Francese, in Inglese, in Tedesco(…) etc.182 Goldoni’s comedies and drammi giocosi boast an impressive reach. The vast diffusion of these works has in large part been traced and catalogued 181 As accounted for by by E. Dent & P.

  • Francisco António D´Almeida and the Serenata Genre in Early and Mid Eigtheenth-Century Portugal
    Francisco António d´Almeida and the Serenata Genre in Early and Mid Eigtheenth-Century Portugal. The music manuscript CIC 12 from the National Library of Portugal contains thirteen arias by Francisco António d´Almeida (1702-1755?), one of the most important Portuguese composers of the first half of the 18th century. Five of them have been identified as being part of the serenata Gl´Incanti d´Alcina of 1730. There are also eight arias from another serenata, Il vaticinio di Pallade e di Mercurio, staged a year later, in 1731. To study the libretti which were the sources of the identification of these arias and then the music present in the CIC 12 manuscript is of fundamental importance in understanding the serenata genre during the reign of King D. João V of Portugal. Consequently, this paper intends to enlarge our knowledge of the formal and stylistic structure of d´Almeida´s serenate and also to give an overview of the performing practices and the courtly and aristocratic significance associated with this genre. Particularly in the field of the study of Portuguese dramatic music of this period, the understanding of the serenata is of primary importance, since it was the principal musical event performed on courtly occasions. Its study gives us today a rich picture of the characteristics of musical life in the court of D. João V, and helps us simultaneously to understand the differences, in this period, between the genre of the serenata and major genres such as opera and cantata. The term serenata, as applied to 17th and 18th century Italy, means a cantata-like work performed in courtly or aristocratic surroundings to celebrate dynastic occasions or political events, or, as in Portugal, anniversaries and name-days of the Royal Family.

  • Jay Harvey Upstage Wednesday, April 9, 2014 Butler Artsfest: Parental Control and the Moon's Allure Make for Musical Fun at Holcomb Observatory
    Jay Harvey Upstage Wednesday, April 9, 2014 Butler Artsfest: Parental control and the moon's allure make for musical fun at Holcomb Observatory The moon has long been associated with romantic waxings and wanings. In "The World on the Moon," the allure of Earth's satellite takes advantage of naive, pseudo-scientific curiosity to overcome obstacles to young love. Ecclitico (right) gets Buonafede to see what he sees. Joseph Haydn's 1777 comic opera is an ornament of the current Artsfest at Butler University. In Tuesday's 11 p.m. performance, what is normally bedtime for people my age became a surprisingly welcome wake-up call to delight. The singing was largely first-rate, the characters enthusiastically embodied and the comic energy and sense of style unrelenting. Holcomb Observatory's planetarium room is the cozy setting for this production, which has two more performances today (6 and 8:30 p.m.). Among the wonders of the show is the fluidity and eloquence of William Fisher's direction of the cast — with space at a perilous premium, given the dominating central position of the planetarium. From the harpsichord, John Glennon conducts an adroit band (violin, oboe and cello) in accompaniments from the stage's far side. Kudos to musical director Thomas Studebaker for preparation of the singers — focused, expressive, and vocally nimble. "The World on the Moon" is among the operas on diverse subjects the Austrian composer wrote for his patron at a Hungarian estate of Esterhaza. Among the spurs to Haydn's creativity during his long service to Prince Nikolaus was the requirement to supply the opera season with new works.

Popular literature on natural philosophy promoted magnifying instruments as windows onto distant or hidden realms and as tools for acquiring knowledge. On the operatic stage and in writers’ metaphorical musings, kindred sensory extensions were imagined for hearing. These contexts connected (magic) mirrors and magnifying instruments to their musical analogues: muted tone and keyboard fantasizing. The development of these associations in opera and literature made it possible for instru- mental music to position listeners as eavesdroppers upon unknown realms.

  • Theatrical Life and Repertoire of the Marionette Theatre of Esterház1
    STUDIA UBB MUSICA, LVII, 1, 2012 (p. 131-153) (RECOMMENDED CITATION) THEATRICAL LIFE AND REPERTOIRE OF THE MARIONETTE 1 THEATRE OF ESTERHÁZ KATA ASZTALOS2 SUMMARY. The marionette operas are closely connected with the Esterházy court of the 18th century as well as the work of Joseph Haydn; nevertheless they hold values for the audience of the 21st century as well. This study presents the history of marionette operas in Esterház. The focal point of the essay is an analysis of the functioning of the marionette theatre based on date, authors and works. The increasing numbers of marionette operas staged today in Hungary and the on-going explorations of the marionette theatre in Fertőd confirm the relevance of this matter. Since the genre of marionette opera lacks Hungarian academic literature, English and German publications provide the background for this study; archives, illustrated materials and musical resources of that period are further examined as well. With the use of these materials we can have an insight not only into a marionette theatre which was extraordinary in its age but an exceptional repertoire as well, for accomplished composers of the 18th century had produced works for the marionette theatre of Esterház. Keywords: Esterház, marionette operas, history of opera, Joseph Haydn, repertoire The outstanding centre for the 18th century marionette opera performances can be found in Fertőd (once called Esterház), Hungary. Widely acknowledged librettists and composers produced works for the theatre. For example, Joseph Haydn had composed several marionette operas during the thirty years he had spent serving the Esterházy princes. Because of the high standards of these presentations, they became widely known and acknowledged throughout Europe – even Maria Theresa was captivated by it.

Dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopying or other means, without the permission of the author. 11 Supervisor; Dean Gordana Lazarevich ABSTRACT Haydn's thirteen extant Esterhdzy operas, composed from 1762-85, represent a microcosm of the various trends in Italian opera during the eighteenth century'. His early operas illustrate his understanding and mastery of the opera seria, the intermezzo and the opera buffa traditions which he would utilize in his later draimi giocosi. In addition to his role as Kapellmeister Haydn adcpted and conducted over eighty-one operas by the leading Italian composers of his day, resulting in over 1,026 operatic performances for the period between 1780-90 alone and furthering his knowledge of the latest styles in Italian opera. This dissertation examines the five draimi giocosi which Haydn wrote, beginning with Le pescatrici {1769) through to La fedelta preiniata (1780), within the context of the draima giocoso tradition.
