Guitar in the opera literature : a study of the instrument's use in opera during the 19th and 20th centuries

Stanek, Mark C. January 2004 (has links)
This dissertation is a study of the use of guitar in opera. Ten operas were chosen from the early nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century as a representative cross section of operas that use the guitar. The operas studied are: The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini, Oberon by Carl Maria von Weber, Don Pasquale by Gaetano Donizetti, Beatrice and Benedict by Hector Berlioz, Otello and Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi, La vida breve by Manuel de Falla, The Nightingale by Igor Stravinsky, Wozzeck by Alban Berg, and Paul Bunyan by Benjamin Britten. The study examines the technical aspects of each guitar part and how the guitar relates to the libretto and to the other instruments of the orchestra.The study finds that, with some exceptions, the guitar parts are idiomatic and not difficult to execute. There is some need on the part of the guitarist to edit the parts for technical and historical reasons and editorial suggestions are made by the author. The guitar is often related to the libretto and often appears onstage, yet it is almost always used as a prop and the performing guitarist is placed offstage or in the orchestra pit. There are significant problems found concerning the guitar's lack of volume. Composers tend to limit the number of instruments in use with the guitar. They do not, however, tend to give the guitar louder dynamics when other instruments are used at the same time. The guitar is generally used in outdoor scenes, to evoke a folk idiom, or when specifically referred to in the libretto. The use of the guitar is found to be mostly limited to simple accompaniments which do not utilize the full resources of the instrument. / School of Music

Música e civilização : a atividade musical no Rio de Janeiro oitocentista (1808-1863) /

Mainente, Renato Aurélio. January 2012 (has links)
Orientador: Jean Marcel Carvalho França / Banca: Paulo Knauss / Banca: José Adriano Fenerick / Resumo: No decorrer do século XIX, a música e o teatro lírico ocuparam lugar de destaque no cenário musical do Rio de Janeiro. Após o desembarque da corte portuguesa, em 1808, a cidade assistiu a inauguração de novos teatros e passou a receber a presença de músicos e companhias líricas estrangeiras, possibilitando um contato com óperas e peças musicais de sucesso na Europa. Embora apresentando um leve declínio entre as décadas de 30 e 40 do oitocentos, a atividade musical continuou ocupando um espaço privilegiado na sociedade fluminense, figurando também nas páginas de diversos periódicos do período. Em tais textos, os escritores e colunistas abordavam os mais variados relacionados à música, desde a programação teatral até a descrição do ambiente dos teatros e comportamento dos espectadores. Entre as principais tópicas, estava a preocupação com o desenvolvimento de uma música de inspiração nacionalista, ideal que culminou com a fundação da Imperial Academia de Música e Ópera Nacional em 1857. No âmbito dessa instituição, um número significativo de óperas nacionais foi levada aos palcos da cidade. É objetivo desse trabalho, portanto, analisar os artigos e crônicas acerca da música publicados em jornais e revistas oitocentistas, juntamente com os libretos de óperas nacionais produzidas no período, buscando identificar os principais tópicos presentes nestes textos; isto é, identificar os principais critérios de análise e expectativas dos homens de cultura do período em relação à atividade musica, e, principalmente, à produção de uma música de inspiração nacionalista / Abstract: During the nineteenth century, music and lyric theater occupied a prominent place in the music scene in Rio de Janeiro. After the landing of the Portuguese court in 1808, the city saw the opening of new theaters and went on to receive the presence of foreign musicians and opera companies, providing a contact with opera and musical theater success in Europe. Although showing a slight decline between 30 and 40 decades of the eighteenth hundred, musical activity continued to occupy a privileged place in fluminense society, also appearing in the pages of several journals of the period. In such texts, the writers and columnists addressed various aspects related to music, since programming of theaters even description of the theatrical environment and viewing behavior. Among the main topics was the concern with the development of a music-inspired nationalist ideal, that culminated in the founding of the Imperial Academy of Music and National Opera in 1857. Within this institution, a significant number of national opera was set up to the stage of the city. It is the aim of this work, therefore, to examine the articles and chronicles about the music published in nineteenth-century newspapers and magazines, along with the librettos of national operas produced in the period, seeking to identify the main topics contained in these texts; that is, identify the mains rules for analysis and expectations of intellectual of the period in relation to musical activities, and especially the production of a nationalistic music / Mestre

Bemerkungen zur frühen Geschichte der städtisch-intstitutionellen Oper in Ungarn

Tallián, Tibor January 1999 (has links)
Der Anfang der ungarischen Operngeschichte wird in der Literatur generell mit dem Jahr 1837 angesetzt. In diesem Jahr erfolgte in Pest die Eröffnung des ständigen Ungarischen Theaters, welches seit 1840 den stolzen Namen "Ungarisches Nationaltheater" führt. Für fast ein halbes Jahrhundert sollte dieses Haus neben dem Drama und dem Lustspiel auch der Oper als Heimstätte dienen.

Arte em tempos de "chirinola" : a proposta de renovação teatral de Coelho Netto (1897-1898) / Art in times of "entrapment" : Coelho Netto's proposal of theater renewal

No. of bitstreams: 1 Carvalho_DanielleCrepaldi_M.pdf: 8306817 bytes, checksum: 03d52e563169bdbc68987dd592f976fa (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009 / Resumo: Neste trabalho, analiso a produção teatral com que o literato Henrique Maximiniano Coelho Netto (1864-1934) - autor importante na virada do século XIX para o XX - inaugurou sua intervenção nos palcos cariocas, em especial o "poema dramático" Pelo Amor! (1897), o "episódio lírico" Ártemis e a "balada em prosa rítmica" Hóstia (1898). Através de tais obras, o literato almejava combater a crise que, segundo seu julgamento, o teatro enfrentava. Sua crítica era dirigida tanto às peças teatrais representadas nas casas de espetáculos comerciais do Rio de Janeiro quanto aos artistas que nelas atuavam. O repertório das companhias que estavam em cartaz na capital era composto, em sua maioria, pelos melodramas lacrimosos e especialmente pelas comédias musicadas - estas recebiam a contribuição dos gêneros musicais populares (a exemplo do lundu e do maxixe). As comédias musicadas exploravam as situações cômicas, algumas vezes fantasiosas, por meio de diálogos construídos, muitas vezes, sobre o duplo sentido das palavras. Além da ausência de qualidades artísticas, Netto considerava essas comédias musicadas licenciosas, já que invariavelmente assumiam uma conotação sexual, devido aos ditos ambíguos que utilizavam e às danças sensuais. Sendo assim, o literato propunha-se a conduzir uma regeneração nos palcos, apoiando-se, para isso, na tradição literária ocidental, da qual retirou os assuntos para a escrita desses dramas. E por acreditar que o elenco profissional não tinha condições intelectuais para levar à cena peças literárias, estimulou que fossem encenadas por um elenco amador composto pela elite econômica do Rio de Janeiro. Pelo Amor! trata da desolação de uma condessa escocesa frente à perda do esposo e o amor que nutre por ele, o qual engendrará o desfecho trágico de ambos. A atmosfera lúgubre que perdura no drama se reflete na música criada por Leopoldo Miguez, que, tendo sofrido visível influência do músico alemão Richard Wagner, criou temas musicais para as personagens principais e esboçou uma interação entre elas no plano musical. A iniciativa conquistou adeptos mas também recebeu críticas. O mesmo deu-se, no ano seguinte, quando da encenação de Ártemis (música de Alberto Nepomuceno) e Hóstia (música de Delgado de Carvalho), no ano seguinte. Na verdade, muitas foram as críticas, ora às peças, ora à relação entre o texto e a música, reação que, em grande medida, tangia o aspecto político. Ora, a imposição de um novo modelo artístico intentava gerar a reordenação do cenário artístico carioca e a exclusão de obras consagradas pelo público e também parte da crítica, como as óperas italianas, as comédias musicadas e os melodramas. Proponho-me, na presente dissertação, a analisar as três peças de Coelho Netto à luz da produção teatral e crítica da época e sobre a época, e daquilo que os literatos do Rio de Janeiro publicaram a respeito da movimentação cultural da cidade. Ocasionalmente, tal trabalho também irá se estender à partitura das obras, para que a relação entre texto e música seja melhor compreendida. / Abstract: In this work, I analyze the theater plays with which Henrique Maximiniano Coelho Netto (1864- 1934) - important Brazilian writer in the turn of the nineteenth century to the twentieth - started his interference in the stage of Rio de Janeiro, specially the "dramatic poem" Pelo Amor! (1897), the "lyric episode" Ártemis and the "ballad in rhythmic prose" Hóstia (1898). Through these plays, the writer claimed to defeat the crisis he believed the theatre was facing. His criticism aimed the plays presented in the commercial theaters of Rio de Janeiro and the actors and actresses that played them. Thecompanies' repertoire was restricted to almost only teary melodramas and specially musical comedies - the comedies had the contribution of popular music (for example, lundu and maxixe) and presented usually funny and sometimes fantastic situations, with dialogues that eventually leaned upon double senses. Beyond the lack of artistic qualities, Netto considered the musical comedies vicious, because of the sexual insinuation they implied through dialogues and music. Therefore, the writer intended to conduct a regeneration of the stage, using for that the occidental literary tradition, from where the subjects of these plays were chosen. And because he believed the professional artists lacked intellectual conditions to present literary plays, he gave his work to be put on stage by amateur groups that had the economic elite as members. Pelo Amor! presents the desolation of a Scottish countess because of the loss of her husband and the love that she devotes to his, which is responsible for the tragic ending of both. The grim atmosphere that remains in the drama reflects in the music created by Leopoldo Miguez, that had suffered visible influence of the German musician Richard Wagner, for Miguez creates musical themes for the leading characters and paints an interaction between them in the musical field. But the idea didn't have only adepts. The same happened with Ártemis (music by Alberto Nepomuceno) and Hóstia (music by Delgado de Carvalho), in the following year. In fact, many were the detractors of the texts and music of these plays, reaction that is largely related to political aspects, once the imposition of a new artistic model intended to cause the reorganization of Rio's artistic scenery and the exclusion of work of arts that were successful among the public and also part of the critic, like the Italian opera, the musical comedies and the melodramas. I intend to analyze these plays taking in consideration the theatrical and critical production of that time and of nowadays and what Rio's writers published related to the cultural activities of the capital. This work will also occasionally refer to the printed lyrics of the plays in order to understand the relation between text and music. / Mestrado / Literatura e Outras Produções Culturais / Mestre em Teoria e História Literária

Theatre and music performances at the castles of Telč and Náměst' nad Oslavou

Koukal, Petr January 1998 (has links)
Were there any aristocratic residences in Moravia, where operas were performed even after the year 1800? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. There were two such places in the music history of that country. The first residence was the castle at Náměst'' nad Oslavou, a smaller town about forty kilometres west of Brno. The second one was the castle in the town of Telč, situated another fifty kilometres west of Brno. Let us have a closer look at these two cases.

Understanding the Lirico-Spinto Soprano Voice through the Repertoire of Giovane Scuola Composers

Hartgraves, Youna Jang 08 1900 (has links)
As lirico-spinto soprano commonly indicates a soprano with a heavier voice than lyric soprano and a lighter voice than dramatic soprano, there are many problems in the assessment of the voice type. Lirico-spinto soprano is characterized differently by various scholars and sources offer contrasting and insufficient definitions. It is commonly understood as a pushed voice, as many interpret spingere as ‘to push.' This dissertation shows that the meaning of spingere does not mean pushed in this context, but extended, thus making the voice type a hybrid of lyric soprano voice type that has qualities of extended temperament, timbre, color, and volume. This dissertation indicates that the lack of published anthologies on lirico-spinto soprano arias is a significant reason for the insufficient understanding of the lirico-spinto soprano voice. The post-Verdi Italian group of composers, giovane scuola, composed operas that required lirico-spinto soprano voices. These giovane scuola composers include Alfredo Catalani (1854 –1893), Umberto Giordano (1867 –1948), Pietro Mascagni (1863 –1945), Giacomo Puccini (1858 –1924), and Riccardo Zandonai (1883 –1944). Descriptions of the soprano voices that premiered these roles are included in this document to determine the suitability of the lirico-spinto soprano voice for each role.
