The Development of Certain Tendencies in Modern Opera by Kathryn Eleanor Browne Pdf

This work is a thesis by Kathryn Eleanor Browne based on the development of certain tendencies in modern Opera and was submitted in 1907 to the University of Illinois. Browne has endeavored to track the roots, growth, evolution, and improvement of various tendencies in the Opera. Only the form of Opera has been evaluated in this study, and no attempt has been made towards the harmonic breakdown of the various operas. The primary tendencies that have been examined are the dissimilarities concerning: The number of acts employed The number and kind of characters A comparison: of the proportion of orchestral work, overtures, ballets and ritornelli; of solo work and the various voices employed; of recitative, spoken, accompanied, and unaccompanied; of ensemble work, duets, trios, quartets, quintets and sextets; separate from this last, a consideration of the proportion of chorus work mixed and sung by the men and the women alone. It contains research on thirty-four operas, and tables have been prepared to accurately consider these proportions, showing the percentage of the factors described. These percentages were acquired by the precise count of the measures dedicated to the solos, choruses, ensembles, etc.

Giacomo Puccini and His World by Arman Schwartz,Emanuele Senici Pdf

Giacomo Puccini (1858–1924) is the world's most frequently performed operatic composer, yet he is only beginning to receive serious scholarly attention. In Giacomo Puccini and His World, an international roster of music specialists, several writing on Puccini for the first time, offers a variety of new critical perspectives on the composer and his works. Containing discussions of all of Puccini’s operas from Manon Lescaut (1893) to Turandot (1926), this volume aims to move beyond clichés of the composer as a Romantic epigone and to resituate him at the heart of early twentieth-century musical modernity. This collection’s essays explore Puccini’s engagement with spoken theater and operetta, and with new technologies like photography and cinema. Other essays consider the philosophical problems raised by "realist" opera, discuss the composer’s place in a variety of cosmopolitan formations, and reevaluate Puccini’s orientalism and his complex interactions with the Italian fascist state. A rich array of primary source material, including previously unpublished letters and documents, provides vital information on Puccini’s interactions with singers, conductors, and stage directors, and on the early reception of the verismo movement. Excerpts from Fausto Torrefranca’s notorious Giacomo Puccini and International Opera, perhaps the most vicious diatribe ever directed against the composer, appear here in English for the first time. The contributors are Micaela Baranello, Leon Botstein, Alessandra Campana, Delia Casadei, Ben Earle, Elaine Fitz Gibbon, Walter Frisch, Michele Girardi, Arthur Groos, Steven Huebner, Ellen Lockhart, Christopher Morris, Arman Schwartz, Emanuele Senici, and Alexandra Wilson.

Operatic Subjects by Sandra Corse Pdf

This work examines the development of representations of selfhood in opera in the modern period. It shows how notions of subjectivity current in various theories of modernism apply to operas, especially those which were directly or indirectly influenced by Wagner. These analyses reveal that operas may employ notions of subjectivity in various ways: as embedded in a religious context, as social critique, or as a critique of individualism.
