With texts taken from Luther’s translation of the Bible and an emphasis on comforting the living for their loss and on hope of the Resurrection, the work is deeply rooted in the tradition of Bach and Schütz, but is vastly different in character from the Latin Requiem of Catholic tradition with its evocation of the Day of Judgement and prayers for mercy on the souls of the dead. The success of Marin Alsop as Music Director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra was recognized when, in 2009, her tenure was extended to 2015. In 2012 she took up the post of Chief Conductor of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra, where she steers the orchestra in its artistic and creative programming, recording ventures and its education and outreach activities.

  • A Hero's Work of Peace: Richard Strauss's FRIEDENSTAG
    A HERO’S WORK OF PEACE: RICHARD STRAUSS’S FRIEDENSTAG BY RYAN MICHAEL PRENDERGAST THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in Music with a concentration in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Associate Professor Katherine R. Syer ABSTRACT Richard Strauss’s one-act opera Friedenstag (Day of Peace) has received staunch criticism regarding its overt militaristic content and compositional merits. The opera is one of several works that Strauss composed between 1933 and 1945, when the National Socialists were in power in Germany. Owing to Strauss’s formal involvement with the Third Reich, his artistic and political activities during this period have invited much scrutiny. The context of the opera’s premiere in 1938, just as Germany’s aggressive stance in Europe intensified, has encouraged a range of assessments regarding its preoccupation with war and peace. The opera’s defenders read its dramatic and musical components via lenses of pacifism and resistance to Nazi ideology. Others simply dismiss the opera as platitudinous. Eschewing a strict political stance as an interpretive guide, this thesis instead explores the means by which Strauss pursued more ambiguous and multidimensional levels of meaning in the opera. Specifically, I highlight the ways he infused the dramaturgical and musical landscapes of Friedenstag with burlesque elements. These malleable instances of irony open the opera up to a variety of fresh and fascinating interpretations, illustrating how Friedenstag remains a lynchpin for judiciously appraising Strauss’s artistic and political legacy.

This book tells the stories of the many composers who visited – a varied and often eccentric collection of individuals. lisztThe earliest were invited by royalty with musical tastes; some were refugees from religious TO and political oppressions; others came as spies, a few to escape from debt and even murder chopincharges. However, the main motive was a possibility of financial reward. BRITAIN The rise in the nineteenth century of the celebrity composer, who was often also a conductor, is also traced. With the development of new forms of transport, composers TO DAVID GORDON • PETER GORDON were able to travel more extensively, both from the Continent and from the USA. New BRITAIN wagneropportunities were also presented by the opening of public halls, where concerts could be held, as well as the growth of music festivals. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries the aeroplane has enabled a regular influx of composers, and the book ends with a liszt consideration of the universalising of music as well as the impact of new forms, such as mozartjazz. chopin Musical Visitors to Britain is a fascinating book which should appeal to both the general handelreader and those with a special interest in music history.

    1 CONCERTO FOR CLARINET AND ORCHESTRA (1947) I. A wizardly weave of contrapuntal themes and rhythmic motives instantly engulfs us. The solo clarinet enters on the intervals that gave historic birth to the instrument: octave, fifth, and twelfth, its harmonic backbone. The theme creates a sweeping arch over seven measures long eloquently encompassing all the clarinet’s registers. The first movement coda ends with a twinkle as the clarinet giggles a bluesy trill; followed by a glockenspiel exclama- tion point and a timpani plop! I am reminded of my interview with Lukas Foss on his student memories of Hindemith at Tanglewood. “After class he took us down to the pond for a swim. I’ll never forget the sound of his plump little body landing in the water with a plop!” II. The ostinato takes a five note pizzicato pattern with a jazz syncopation before the fifth note. The groove slides over to another beat at each entrance making a simple steady 2/2 time excitingly elusive. Riding that groove is a rapid clarinet lick right out of the “King of Swing”’s bag. A rhythm section (timpani, snare drum, triangle, and tambourine) sets a “Krupa-like” complexity, and before you know it the ride ends with the band disappearing clean as a clarinet pianissimo. III. Perhaps the longest, most melancholic, beautiful melody ever written for the clarinet; twenty measures of breath- taking calm and majesty. Balancing this sweeping aria is a recitative (measures 51-71). Hindemith gives the return of the song to solo oboe surrounded by soft, tiny woodwind creatures and muted murmurings for two solo violins.
