  • JOAN SUTHERLAND John Pritchard (1918–89)
    JOAN SUTHERLAND John Pritchard (1918–89). Walthamstow-born, John Pritchard learned his craft as principal conductor of the Derby String Orchestra, before joining the music staff of Glyndebourne in 1947. Appointed Chorus Master in 1949, he was soon sharing major Mozart productions with Fritz Busch, conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra there and swiftly expanding his repertoire. The company’s Musical Director from 1969 to 1977, he was also a regular guest at the Royal Opera, where in 1955 he conducted the premiere of Tippett’s A Midsummer Marriage. His opera and concert work encircled the globe, with periods at the helm of many companies and orchestras, notably the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and BBC Symphony. He was knighted in 1983. Though his full diary could result in perfunctory routine, fiery theatricality and a grasp of essentials inform his best work – not least in many studio and off-air recordings made with his ‘home’, Glyndebourne company, and for BBC radio. Joan Sutherland (1926–2010). The world-renowned soprano Joan Sutherland left her Sydney home for London in 1952, with the ultimate aim of singing Wagner. Contracted to Covent Garden, she felt her future lay in heavy, dramatic roles; and her early assignments there included Amelia in Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera and the title role in Aida. Soon her breathtaking agility, crystalline staccatos and unique stratospheric purity became evident – not least as Jenifer in Tippett’s The Midsummer Marriage, followed swiftly by the doll Olympia in Offenbach’s Les contes d’Hoffmann (both 1955). Although increasingly identified with the bel canto repertoire, until her 1959 Covent Garden triumph in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor she kept her options open.

But the pastoral element in that third work is ultimately ironic. Written while the composer’s personal experiences of the First World War must still have been vivid, it is more a lament for the war’s loss of life and for the loss of a way of life. In many respects the work we will hear tonight is more directly pastoral in its impact. The first performance, conducted by the composer, was held in London in 1943 at the height of the Second World War, but the magical opening immediately transports us far away from chaos and destruction to an Arcadian Forest of Arden. Horn calls emerge mysteriously from this other world, answered by string figurations swirling around in a different key.

  • Les Illuminations, Britten's Persoonlijkheid in De Cyclus
    Universiteit Gent Faculteit Letteren en Wijsbegeerte Vakgroep Kunst-, muziek- en theaterwetenschappen Les Illuminations, Britten’s persoonlijkheid in de cyclus. Imke De Hert 20034451 Masterproef Academische Master in de kunstwetenschappen, optie musicologie Academiejaar: 2007 – 2008 Promotor Prof. Dr. F. Maes Dankwoord Deze scriptie is tot standgekomen via de medewerking en steun van verschillende mensen. Ik zou dan ook willen startten met mijn dank jegens hen te uiten. In de eerste plaats Prof. Dr. F. Maes voor de boeiende opleiding, voor de begeleiding en het promotorschap. Zonder Prof. Maes was mijn aandacht niet op het onderwerp gevestigd. Ik zou ook al de professoren en doctors van de opleiding musicologie willen bedanken voor de gevarieerde opleiding en enkele docenten van het conservatorium voor het verbreden van mijn horizon, respectievelijk F. Rathé en G. Dhondt. Ook gaat mijn dank naar Frank Nuyts die me met zijn expertise als Britten-kenner bijstond. Tevens dank voor de Nuyts-introductie. Mijn mede musicologie studenten draag ik een warm hart toe voor vier jaar steun en raad. Mijn oprechte dank naar mijn zus Lobke en Ingeborg die mij hielp bij de verbetering en het nalezen van deze thesis. En tevens mijn oprechte dank voor mijn ouders die dit alles hebben mogelijk gemaakt en zonder wiens steun ik niet tot het sluitstuk van mijn opleiding was geraakt. Graag zou ik willen afsluiten met een voornemen. Na twee jaar te hebben doorgebracht met Les Illuminations, gaat de cyclus me nauw aan het hart. De dag dat ik afstudeer voor mijn zangopleiding zal ik één lied kiezen, in nagedachte van Benjamin Britten, een opmerkelijk componist.

Its role in Christian theology and spirituality has a much longer history, but by the beginning of the twentieth century, its expressive potential had not been significantly recognized in liturgical choral music. This study examined the relationship between twentieth-century musical silence and the expression of silence as the ineffable in Anglican choral music (referred to as English cathedral music or ECM) of the middle of the twentieth century.

  • Copyright 2014 Renée Chérie Clark
    Copyright 2014 Renée Chérie Clark ASPECTS OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE ART SONGS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS BEFORE THE GREAT WAR BY RENÉE CHÉRIE CLARK DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Christina Bashford, Chair Associate Professor Gayle Sherwood Magee Professor Emeritus Herbert Kellman Professor Emeritus Chester L. Alwes ABSTRACT This dissertation explores how the art songs of English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) composed before the Great War expressed the composer’s vision of “Englishness” or “English national identity”. These terms can be defined as the popular national consciousness of the English people. It is something that demands continual reassessment because it is constantly changing. Thus, this study takes into account two key areas of investigation. The first comprises the poets and texts set by the composer during the time in question. The second consists of an exploration of the cultural history of British and specifically English ideas surrounding pastoralism, ruralism, the trope of wandering in the countryside, and the rural landscape as an escape from the city. This dissertation unfolds as follows. The Introduction surveys the literature on Vaughan Williams and his songs in particular on the one hand, and on the other it surveys a necessarily selective portion of the vast literature of English national identity. The introduction also explains the methodology applied in the following chapters in analyzing the music as readings of texts. The remaining chapters progress in the chronological order of Vaughan Williams’s career as a composer.
