Featured: Bernard Richter (foreground) and Gil Isoart Photo by Pierre Grosbois Atys SYNOPSIS Prologue Time and the Hours are celebrating Louis XIV. Flore precedes spring so as to woo him before he goes to war. But Melpomène, the muse of tragedy, pushes them aside: she wants to take advantage of winter and the assembled court to recall the love of Cybèle and Atys. Then Iris reconciles them: may Nature and Art unite to celebrate Atys. Act I Atys gathers the Phrygians to celebrate the goddess Cybèle. His friend Idas sets his religious zeal against his insensitivity. After having announced his resolution to never fall in love, Atys admits to have failed. They are interrupted by Sangaride and Doris, who are honoring Cybèle. Sangaride is to wed King Celenus soon, but she confides to Doris that she loves Atys. However, Atys opens his heart to her: since he is to die after the nuptials, she should know that he loves her. The reciprocity of their feelings drives them to despair. But the ceremony to the goddess interrupts them and Cybèle announces she will choose her sacrificer. Act II King Celenus confides to Atys his fear of not being loved by Sangaride. Atys must reassure his rival! Cybèle wishes to honor Atys and choose him as her sacrificer. Celenus is delighted for his friend. Cybèle tells her secret motives to her confidante Mélisse: her love for mortal Atys is all too human. Then the Nations and Zephyrs gather to celebrate Cybèle’s choice. Act III Doris and Idas come to tell Atys that Sangaride is intent on canceling the wedding and asking for Cybèle’s protection. Overcome by sleep ordered by Cybèle, Atys falls into slumber. The deities of sleep and the Dreams let Atys know that Cybèle loves him and advise him to be faithful. Atys awakens with Cybèle at his bedside. Sangaride comes to beseech the goddess. Atys prevents her from revealing their love but cannot silence Cybèle. Sangaride leaves in grief. Cybèle suffers from Atys’ indifference toward her. Act IV Convinced that Atys is in love with Cybèle, Sangaride resigns herself to her marriage to Celenus, who tells Atys he is thrilled. After a moment of disappointment, the two lovers renew their vows and decide to employ Atys’ new power to their love’s advantage. The river Sangar invites his retinue to celebrate his son-in-law. Atys undertakes a daring enterprise: he announces that Cybèle forbade the wedding so that Sangaride may become a priestess of her rite. He abducts Sangaride. Act V Cybèle reveals everything to Celenus and summons the young lovers. They appeal for clemency on each other’s behalf. But merciless Cybèle invokes the hellish deity Alecton to bewitch Atys. The latter mistakes Sangaride for a monster and kills her. Recovering his senses, Atys appeals for rebellion against the heartless gods. While Cybèle is smitten with remorse, the dying Atys is brought back after he stabs himself. Cybèle turns him into a pine tree so that nature will remember this love. Atys Act III. Featured: Bernard Richter (foreground) Photo by Pierre Grosbois BACKGROUND OF ATYS Atys became known as the “king’s opera.” Louis XIV had chosen its subject matter from Ovid and supervised its mise-en-tragédie by Philippe Quinault. He carefully followed the rehearsals of the work at the court set up in Saint-Germain en-Laye in the winter of 1675 between two campaigns of the Dutch War. And even before its first performance on January 10, 1676, he sang whole passages of it. This greatly honored his “Surintendant de la musique” (overseer of music), Jean-Baptiste Lully, whose Atys was the fourth tragédie en musique. The 37-year-old king had been ruling supreme for 15 years. He had taken advantage of that long period to carry on the centralization of the kingdom’s cultural life. In order to extol French singularity at a time when Italy was thought to be the cradle of the arts, he chiefly fostered dance and literature. In the 1650s Lully was asked to transform courtly ballet into polished entertainment. With Molière, he devised a more dramatic choreographic formula, comédie-ballet. Finally, when Louis XIV stopped dancing, some daring ideas and fortuitous meetings led him, Lully, and Quinault to dub that which was mainly a political scheme, tragédie en musique. The term tragédie referred to the presence of noble protagonists who spoke in a specific language, the recitative. As the most thorough musical expression and a binder of musical forms, the recitative devised by Lully had made French opera possible three years earlier with the premiere of Cadmus et Hermione. The recitative revealed the musicality of French language: from then on, opera was no longer the Italians’ privilege. Louis XIV supplied Lully with regal means, and the evening of January 10, 1676, at the old castle’s ballet hall, was splendid. In Ovid’s Fasti and Metamorphoses, Atys is turned into a pine tree for having resisted goddess Cybèle’s love. Metamorphosed by Quinault and Lully, his fate shows the unavoidable submission of sentiment to politics, leading to a tragic conclusion—quite unusual in French opera. Atys Lully’s success also rested on the finances of his theater in Paris. Named Académie royale de musique, it was set up in the hall of the Palais-Royal. From May 1676 the theater was thronged with audiences and nobility three times a week, according to Mme de Sévigné: “The decorations exceed all that you have seen; the costumes are magnificent and stylish. There are highly beautiful scenes; there is a sleep and dream segment whose device is amazing. The symphony is all basses and with such drowsymaking tones that one marvels at Baptiste making a fresh start.” Until 1753, Atys was revived, thanks to adaptations in the style of the day. At Paris fairs, the successive Atys parodies contributed to a new genre called opéra-comique. By the end of the Age of Enlightenment, only Quinault survived the changes in musical taste. The libretto to Atys was arranged by Marmontel and set anew to music by Piccinni in 1780 at the Académie. Then Lully was ignored in the 19th century. In the 1970s, a new generation of performers revived the Baroque repertoire.

  • Kretan Cult and Customs, Especially in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods: a Religious, Social, and Political Study
    i Kretan cult and customs, especially in the Classical and Hellenistic periods: a religious, social, and political study Thesis submitted for degree of MPhil Carolyn Schofield University College London ii Declaration I, Carolyn Schofield, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been acknowledged in the thesis. iii Abstract Ancient Krete perceived itself, and was perceived from outside, as rather different from the rest of Greece, particularly with respect to religion, social structure, and laws. The purpose of the thesis is to explore the bases for these perceptions and their accuracy. Krete’s self-perception is examined in the light of the account of Diodoros Siculus (Book 5, 64-80, allegedly based on Kretan sources), backed up by inscriptions and archaeology, while outside perceptions are derived mainly from other literary sources, including, inter alia, Homer, Strabo, Plato and Aristotle, Herodotos and Polybios; in both cases making reference also to the fragments and testimonia of ancient historians of Krete. While the main cult-epithets of Zeus on Krete – Diktaios, associated with pre-Greek inhabitants of eastern Krete, Idatas, associated with Dorian settlers, and Kretagenes, the symbol of the Hellenistic koinon - are almost unique to the island, those of Apollo are not, but there is good reason to believe that both Delphinios and Pythios originated on Krete, and evidence too that the Eleusinian Mysteries and Orphic and Dionysiac rites had much in common with early Kretan practice. The early institutionalization of pederasty, and the abduction of boys described by Ephoros, are unique to Krete, but the latter is distinct from rites of initiation to manhood, which continued later on Krete than elsewhere, and were associated with different gods.

  • The Contest Works for Trumpet and Cornet of the Paris Conservatoire, 1835-2000
    The Contest Works for Trumpet and Cornet of the Paris Conservatoire, 1835-2000: A Performative and Analytical Study, with a Catalogue Raisonné of the Extant Works Analytical Study: The Contest Works for Trumpet and Cornet of the Paris Conservatoire, 1835-2000: A Study of Instrumental Techniques, Forms and Genres, with a Catalogue Raisonné of the Extant Corpus By Brandon Philip Jones ORCHID ID# 0000-0001-9083-9907 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2018 Faculty of Fine Arts and Music The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT The Conservatoire de Paris concours were a consistent source of new literature for the trumpet and cornet from 1835 to 2000. Over this time, professors and composers added over 172 works to the repertoire. Students and professionals have performed many of these pieces, granting long-term popularity to a select group. However, the majority of these works are not well-known. The aim of this study is to provide students, teachers, and performers with a greater ability to access these works. This aim is supported in three ways: performances of under-recorded literature; an analysis of the instrumental techniques, forms and genres used in the corpus; and a catalogue raisonné of all extant contest works. The performative aspect of this project is contained in two compact discs of recordings, as well as a digital video of a live recital. Twenty-six works were recorded; seven are popular works in the genre, and the other nineteen are works that are previously unrecorded. The analytical aspect is in the written thesis; it uses the information obtained in the creation of the catalogue raisonné to provide an overview of the corpus in two vectors.

  • L'air Français, Un Art Intime
    ©Denis Rouvre ©Philippe Parent Les Arts Florissants – William Christie L’air français, un art intime Conciertos en seis ciudades de América Latina Les Arts Florissants presentan su primera gira en América Latina desde 2004: L’air français, un art intime El aria francesa, un arte íntimo Al final del reinado de Louis XIV; cambia el estilo de vida aristocrático, y el desarrollo de los salons da como resultado una vuelta de la sociedad elegante desde Versalles a París. Este fue el inicio de una nueva era socio-cultural: en música, esto provocó una evolución en la ambición y el formato. Aunque las formas a gran escala, sobre todo la Tragedia – lírica, continuaron siendo los modelos más avanzados para el entretenimiento de la corte, un arte más confidencial se desarrollaba, favoreciendo formas más modestas, como la sonata. En el ámbito de la música vocal, el air de cour se había vuelto muy popular desde el siglo XVI, y se le unió, a principios del XVIII, un nuevo género: La cantate. Esta forma se extendió a través de los círculos musicales franceses, coexistiendo con la más Antigua y muy en boga: cantata Italiana. La cantate francesa se distinguía de su prima italiana por su estilo, heredado de la tragédie lyrique, y en particular por la atención puesta en el texto. Estas obras eran la quintaesencia de “el buen gusto francés”, combinando los delicados ritmos de elocuencia poética con graciosas melodías. Estas arias à la française eran cantadas por uno o dos cantantes, acompañados de un clave, al que se le podían unir varios instrumentos: flauta, violín, viola, por ejemplo.

    Castanets 1 Castanets Castanet(s) Castanets Percussion instrument Classification hand percussion Hornbostel–Sachs classification 111.141 (Directly struck concussive idiophone) Castanets are a percussion instrument (idiophone), used in Moorish, Ottoman, ancient Roman, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese music. The instrument consists of a pair of concave shells joined on one edge by a string. They are held in the hand and used to produce clicks for rhythmic accents or a ripping or rattling sound consisting of a rapid series of clicks. They are traditionally made of hardwood, although fibreglass is becoming increasingly popular. In practice a player usually uses two pairs of castanets. One pair is held in each hand, with the string hooked over the thumb and the castanets resting on the palm with the fingers bent over to support the other side. Each pair will make a sound of a slightly different Castanets seller in Granada, Spain pitch. The origins of the instrument are not known. The practice of clicking hand-held sticks together to accompany dancing is ancient, and was practised by both the Greeks and the Egyptians. In more modern times, the bones and spoons used in Minstrel show and jug band music can also be considered forms of the castanet. When used in an orchestral setting, castanets are sometimes attached to a handle, or mounted to a base to form a pair of machine castanets. This makes them easier to play, but also alters the sound, particularly for the machine castanets. It is possible to produce a roll on a pair of castanets in any of the three ways in Castanets 2 which they are held.
