  • Is Romance Dead? Erich Korngold and the Romantic
    IS ROMANCE DEAD? ERICH KORNGOLD AND THE ROMANTIC GERMAN LIED By Georgia Jamieson Emms A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in Classical Performance New Zealand School of Music Victoria University 2017 1 ABSTRACT Far from being the operatic aria's less glamorous sister, the Romantic German Lied offers much dramatic scope for the classical performer. It has been described as the “quintessential Romantic genre”: the balanced and harmonious union of the music and text, in which the pianist and singer are equals. As accessible at private music gatherings as in concert halls, the Lied enjoyed popularity in German-speaking countries for over a hundred years, before facing its greatest adversary: Modernism. Romanticism, as an artistic movement, fought to survive in the uncertain musical and political landscape of the twentieth century. In Erich Korngold, Romantic music found a staunch advocate, and Lieder gained one of its most gifted contributors. Following in the daunting footsteps of Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler, Korngold's unashamedly luscious, rich orchestrations and soaring melodies earned him the nickname “the Viennese Puccini.” A child prodigy, Erich Korngold's rise was swift and glorious; his fall coincided with that of the German Lied and Romanticism itself. Romance may not have “died”, but it became outdated in the twentieth-century push for modernity and innovation across all art forms. In encyclopedias little is written of Korngold and his compositional output beyond his most famous and enduring opera Die tote Stadt, and his pioneering film scoring in pre- and post-war Hollywood.

Dr. Martin Nedbal Thesis Director Dr. Laurence Hare Committee Member Dr. Alan Gosman Committee Member Abstract Portrayals of women in art have always been a sensitive subject due to the unequal distribution of power between the sexes within the Western patriarchal society and, more recently, due to newly acquired criticism of artistic misogyny. The operas of Erich Wolfgang Korngold showcase varying interpretations of female characters that waver between misogynist objectification and disparagement and ardent endorsement of feminine prominence.

Karnes, Scholars in Residence 2019 Irene Zedlacher, Executive Director Raissa St. Pierre ’87, Associate Director Founded in 1990, the Bard Music Festival has established its unique identity in the classical concert field by presenting programs that, through performance and discussion, place selected works in the cultural and social context of the composer’s world. Programs of the Bard Music Festival offer a point of view. The intimate communication of recital and chamber music and the excitement of full orchestral and choral works are complemented by informative preconcert talks, panel discussions by renowned musicians and scholars, and special events. In addition, each season Princeton University Press publishes a book of essays, translations, and correspondence relating to the festival’s central figure. By providing an illuminating context, the festival encourages listeners and musicians alike to rediscover the powerful, expressive nature of familiar compositions and to become acquainted with less well-known works. Since its inaugural season, the Bard Music Festival has entered the worlds of Brahms, Mendelssohn, Richard Strauss, Dvorˇák, Schumann, Bartók, Ives, Haydn, Tchaikovsky, Schoenberg, Beethoven, Debussy, Mahler, Janácˇek, Shostakovich, Copland, Liszt, Elgar, Prokofiev, Wagner, Berg, Sibelius, Saint-Saëns, Stravinsky, Schubert, Carlos Chávez, Puccini, Chopin, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Korngold.

  • Kurt Weill and Erich Wolfgang Korngold
    KURT WEILL AND ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD: COMPOSERS OF TWO WORLDS A Report of a Senior Study by Bonnie Pelsue Finn Major: Music Maryville College Fall, 2011 Date Approved , by Faculty Supervisor Date Approved , by Editor ABSTRACT This research follows the lives of two composers, Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Kurt Weill, ultimately looking at the effect they had on American music. Both were born at the turn of the 20th century, and composed classically in Europe prior to the Nazi takeover of Germany and Austria. An explanation is given of the political background of Germany prior to 1933, as well as how music and politics intertwined and affected many Jewish composers and musicians of the era. Brief descriptions of Nazi doctrines are also included. Following the lives and musical output of these two composers, the first chapter focuses from birth to 1933. Their music and talents will be explored, as well as the political arenas they lived in and how they reacted to the changing times. Chapter Two will follow how becoming an American affected them and the effect they had on American music from 1933 until their deaths. The final chapter examines the music they created in each world and the changes imposed upon it through emigration. iii Table of Contents CHAPTER 1 .........................................................................................................................
