  • "Mixed Taste," Cosmopolitanism, and Intertextuality in Georg Philipp
    “MIXED TASTE,” COSMOPOLITANISM, AND INTERTEXTUALITY IN GEORG PHILIPP TELEMANN’S OPERA ORPHEUS Robert A. Rue 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 2017 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Mary Natvig Gregory Decker © 2017 Robert A. Rue All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor Musicologists have been debating the concept of European national music styles in the Baroque period for nearly 300 years. But what precisely constitutes these so-called French, Italian, and German “tastes”? Furthermore, how do contemporary sources confront this issue and how do they delineate these musical constructs? In his Music for a Mixed Taste (2008), Steven Zohn achieves success in identifying musical tastes in some of Georg Phillip Telemann’s instrumental music. However, instrumental music comprises only a portion of Telemann’s musical output. My thesis follows Zohn’s work by identifying these same national styles in opera: namely, Telemann’s Orpheus (Hamburg, 1726), in which the composer sets French, Italian, and German texts to music. I argue that though identifying the interrelation between elements of musical style and the use of specific languages, we will have a better understanding of what Telemann and his contemporaries thought of as national tastes. I will begin my examination by identifying some of the issues surrounding a selection of contemporary treatises, in order explicate the problems and benefits of their use. These sources include Johann Joachim Quantz’s Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte zu spielen (1752), two of Telemann’s autobiographies (1718 and 1740), and Johann Adolf Scheibe’s Critischer Musikus (1737).

  • What Happened in 1678? Reassessing »Orontea« and the Beginnings of Opera in Hanover*1
    What happened in 1678? Reassessing »Orontea« and the Beginnings of Opera in Hanover*1 Vassilis Vavoulis he 1678 fi rst opera season in the town of Hanover had important repercussions for the history of Tbaroque opera in the whole of northern Europe. Events and processes set into motion that year in- itiated an important trail of dissemination of opera that we are only gradually beginning to understand. Johann Friedrich and music in Hanover The Hanoverians and their court have long attracted the interest of opera historians due to their long association with Venice and its theatrical world. It is in the context of those political, social, and cultural contacts with the Serenissima that the fi rst Hanover opera, Antonio Cesti’s Orontea (1678), can be better understood. The Guelphs (Welfen) of the area of Brunswick (Braunschweig) were a monarchical house with one of the most interesting relationships to Italy. They could trace their lineage back to the Italian Guelfi and the legendary Henry the Lion who established the Guelph dynasty in the area of Saxony in the 12th century. Brunswick remained in their possession for over 600 years and until Hanover was annexed into Prussia in 1868. It was therefore a monarchical house with a particular sense of its heritage and links to Italy. For the young Brunswick princes, this background took on a very realistic form on their regular trips to Italy including long sojourns in Venice and Rome. Theirs was much more than the standard Grand Tour enjoyed by most aristocratic offspring. For one of them, Johann Friedrich of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (1625 – 1679), the trips to Italy took a more serious turn in 1651 – 1652 when he converted to Catholicism at Assisi (following doctrinal discussions at the Vatican).

  • Bologna and Venice in the Seventeenth Century
    THE CHANGING SYMBOLIC IMAGES OF THE TRUMPET: BOLOGNA AND VENICE IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Jamie Marie Karp, B.M.E., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2014 APPROVED: Keith Johnson, Major Professor Bernardo Illari, Committee Member John Holt, Committee Member and Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies of the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Karp, Jamie Marie. The Changing Symbolic Images of the Trumpet: Bologna and Venice in the Seventeenth Century. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2014, 106 pp., bibliography, 114 titles. The trumpet is among the most ancient of all musical instruments, and an examination of its history reveals that it has consistently maintained important and specific symbolic roles in society. Although from its origins this symbolic identity was linked to the instrument’s limited ceremonial and signaling function, the seventeenth century represents a period in which a variety of new roles and identities emerged. Bologna and Venice represent the two most important centers for trumpet writing in Italy during the seventeenth century. Because of the differing ideologies at work in these cities, two distinctive symbolic images of the instrument and two different ways of writing for it emerged. The trumpet’s ecclesiastic role in Bologna and its participation in Venetian opera put the instrument at the service of two societies, one centered around the Church, and another around a more permissive state. Against the backdrop of the social and political structures in Venice and Bologna, and through an examination of its newly-emerging musical roles in each city, the trumpet’s changing identities during a most important point in the history of the instrument will be examined.
