Andromache

Andromache is an opera in two acts with words and music by Herbert Windt. The opera is based on the play Andromache.by Euripides, as well as Racine's Andromache, Virgil's Aeneid with background material based on The Iliad by Homer.

Background

In an article published six months before the opera's premiere, Windt acknowledged that he had known the story of Andromache for many years. The appeal of writing an opera on the topic (his first) was based on "my idea of choosing events and characters that were as remote in time as possible, in order to be able to ascribe new contexts and new lives to these actions and characters that are well known in themselves, without changing or alienating the image that we have established too much."[1] Windt understood the challenge of making a modern audience relate to legendary characters:

"In order to bring an old subject to life, to awaken it from its dusty Sleeping Beauty sleep to new life, one must fill it with new life. And that can only happen if one tries to bring this past, which is several thousand years old, and our present closer together and bring them towards one another."[1]

In seeing the connection between Skamander and current times, Windt wrote: "I certainly did not want to write a political play; but if such political events form the basis of a plot such as the present one, then naturally one cannot ignore its politics when adapting it without having brought it into some connection with our present."[1] (Windt joined the Nazi Party in 1931, the year in which he wrote this.)

Roles

  • Pyrrhus - about 25 years old
  • Andromache -
  • Hermione - about 20 years old with red hair. Ambitious, she deserts her cousin Orest to marry Pyrrhus, a marriage based on power, not love
  • Orest - about 30 years old, brown hair. He bears the fate of the House of Atreus
  • Theano - blonde, like Pyrrhus, age 17; she mirrors her brother's desires and wishes.
  • Lamia - a little older than Hermione. She functions more as a confidant than as a servant.
  • Phönix - in his late 50s with graying beard. He is always in uniform, aware of the dignity of his position.
  • Skamander - a handsome dark-curled six-year-old boy.

Synopsis

Music

Writing in 1931, Windt felt his score should enable a wide range of possible mediums: "For me it is self-evident that the greatest possible unity must exist between book and score, if the two are not to run parallel to one another. I therefore had in mind wide and rich possibilities of contrast in keeping with the style of the book and in this respect I pulled out all the stops that were available to me; from the more intimate chamber music style to the pathetic and pompous style of the "big orchestra."[3]

With regards to being modernistic, Windt wrote: "I will never be one of those innovators who want to be "modern" at any price; on the other hand, I am not reactionary enough to underestimate the extensions brought about by modernity and not to use them where I consider them appropriate and justified."[3]

Reception

Fritz Ohrmann, writing in Signale für die musikalische Welt, praised the quality of the performance which he felt was primarily due to Erich Kleiber's musical direction.[2] He noted that "singer and actress" Margaret Klose gave a magnificent performance and gave high praise for Fritz Wolff.[2] But Ohrmann had qualified words for the music. "Herbert Windt has not yet succeeded in creating an untouchable masterpiece on his first attempt. His first musical drama has undeniable, major weaknesses, but these cannot conceal the fact that behind him stands a full-blooded dramatist. But one who is only a promise whose creative powers - I believe - are far from being released because Windt was under the greatest psychological pressure for too long...Windt is the type of late-maturing composer, still internally unfree, who struggles with determination and maximum emotional commitment to realize his far-reaching artistic ideal. His themes do not always appear to have grown naturally, but often seem to have been forced upon him. They therefore lack a good deal of healthy drive. Above all, however, they lack the great breath to be able to swing out into a broad melody...This is how I explain the feverish restlessness of this music, which repeatedly pushes towards passionate outbursts, repeatedly towards new ecstasies and therefore too often lacks wise economy in the application of strong musical expressive powers... in the large ensembles and the effective choirs he demonstrates an extraordinary contrapuntal skill. He is thoroughly versed in the secrets of the diverse modern rhythms and handles the rich color palette of the orchestra with superior confidence.[4]

Hugo Leichtentritt observed: "The singers tried their best without achieving a vocal effect that corresponded to the expenditure of resources. [The singers] were busy in the main roles, but due to the unsingable nature of their roles, they were only able to present themselves in the best possible light in places. The applause was friendly, but hardly reflected any enthusiasm or excitement on the part of the audience."[5]


Writing as the Berlin correspondent for the New York Times conservative music critic Herbert F. Peyser gave a very negative view of the opera. "One can scarcely imagine a work for the lyric theatre more dismally barren of either popular appeal or artistic reward. A two-and-one-half-hour yelling match carried on against an unmerciful racket of heavy orchestral artillery, darkened stage...From one end of the evening to the other the piece is as static as it is dour. Of action there is as good as none...A chorus of mourning women chants and wails lugubriously...[the lead singers] spout and shriek in jagged declamation yards upon yards of those verbose, mouth-filling speeches which the French call 'tirades.'"[6]

Publication

The vocal score (317 pages) was published by Universal Edition, copyright 1931, plate number U.E. 1118.

Dessen schöpferische Kräfte —so glaube ich — aber noch lange nicht gelöst sind, weil Windt zu lange unter härtestem seelische Druck stand...Windt ist mir der Typus des Spätreifenden, des heute innerlich noch Unfreien, der mir Verbissenheit und seelischem Höchsteinsatz um die Verwirklichung seines weitgesteckten Kunstideals ringt. So erscheinen seine Themen nicht immer natürlich Gewachsen, sondern oft gewaltsam aufgetrieben. Es fehlt ihnen darum ein gut Teil gesunder Triebkraft. Vor allem aber auch der große Atem, um sich in breitem Melos ausschwingen zu können...So erkläre ich mir auch weiter die fiebernde Unruhe dieser Musik, die immer wieder zu leidens schaftlichen Ausbrüchen, immer wieder zu neuen Ekstasen drängt und darum zu oft die weise Oekonomie in der Anwendung starker musikalischer Ausdruckskräfte vermissen läßt...in den großen Ensembles und den wirkungsvollen Chören beweist er ein ausserordentliches kontrapunktisches Können. In den Geheimnissen der vielgestaltigen modernen Rhythmik weiß er gründlich Bescheid und behandelt die reiche Farbenpalette des Orchesters mit überlegener Sicherheit.

Kathi Meyer-Baer

Kathi Meyer-Baer was a musicologist, librarian and bibliographer, "arguably the most significant, and surely the most productive, female musicologist of her generation."[1]

Katharina Gertrud Meyer was born to a prosperous Jewish family in Berlin on July 27, 1892.[1] She attended a girls' gymnasium and later attened She studied piano with Frieda Kwast-Hodapp. She attended the University of Berlin studying in particular with Hermann Kretzschmar and Johannes Wolf. Her dissertation Der chorische Gesang der Frauen was initially rejected by Kretzschmar who provided no reason, so in 1915 she transferred to Leipzig University and submitted it to Hugo Riemann who accepted it immediately. As she had taken a second major in acoustics, she took exams with Johannes Wiener, who congratulated her upon passage of the exams.and was awarded the Ph.D. in 1916.[1]. Her dissertation was published the following year.


She was the first woman to earn a Ph.D. as a musicologist.[1]

She worked as the resident musicologist for bibliophile Paul Hirsch.[1]


"In the end, she had no choice but to live her life as an independent scholar. She did so with grace, courage, perseverance, and enormous productivity."[1]

Luigi Bordese

Luigi Bordese (1815—1886) was an Italian composer who spent most of his career in Paris composing operas.

Luigi Bordese was born in Naples and was educated at the Naples Conservatory.[1] From 1834 he resided in Paris where he composed numerous operas.[1] When his operas no longer met with success, he directed his energies toward vocal pedagogy, publishing a number of vocal exercises.[2] Of his many operas, Fetis described his output as containing more craft than art.[2]

Joseph Muller

From Internet MUS document:

Born of German-Belgian parents, Joseph Muller (b. Frankfurt-am-Main, 1877?; d. Closter, NJ, May 9, 1939), who started collecting during his student days, studied violin at the Brussels Conservatory, where, as a student of Alexandre Cornélis, he won first prize (with distinction) in July 1895; but his love of travel led him to a career as a ship's steward. During his many travels he sought out print dealers worldwide, adding to his growing collection. He collected music manuscripts and letters in addition to portraits (not surprisingly he was especially attracted to those of string players). His interest in music and collecting led him to do extensive research, making him an authority on early music and early American music in particular. In his 1935 publication The Star-Spangled Banner: Words and music issued between 1814-1864 (New York: G. A. Baker & Co.), Muller compiled an annotated and richly illustrated bibliography, tracing variant early publications of the text and tune of our national anthem.

An amateur artist, Muller drew copies of prints and, to a lesser degree, made portraits from life (usually at the back of a concert hall). Some of these drawings are included in the Muller Collection as well.

Carmella Ponselle

Carmella Ponselle (June 7, 1892—June 13, 1977[3]) was a soprano. She was the elder sister of soprano Rosa Ponselle.

Born in Schenectady, New York. Together with her sister they appeared as the Ponzillo Sisters in 1916-1917. Her serious career began in 1923 singing Amneris in Aida at the Polo Grounds.[3] Her Metropolitan Opera debut began on with a Sunday evening concert on January 11, 1925 where she sang "O don fatale" and the Aida-Amneris duet.[4] Her role debut occurred on December 5, 1925 again in the role of Amneris. Other roles included Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana, Laura in La Gioconda in which she appeared with her sister Rosa.[5]

Drexel 5609

Drexel 5609


Drexel 5609 is a British music manuscript. It is an eighteenth-century collection of seventeenth-century keyboard music compiled from various sources, including British Library Add. ms. 10337 (the Elizabeth Rogers' Virginal Book), Fitzwilliam Museum Music Ms. 168 (the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book), and Elizabeth Plume's Virginal Book. Also included are keyboard arrangements of works composed for other instruments or voices and instruments.[1]

Belonging to the New York Public Library, it forms part of the Drexel Collection, housed in the Music Division of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Following traditional library practice, its name is derived from its call number.[2]

Physical description

The manuscript measures 30.5 x 24 cm.

Provenance

In the publication "Popular Music of the Olden Time," William Chappell makes reference to "This tune is in Sir John Hawkins's Transcripts of Music for the Virginals."[3] In a 1967 article John Ward quotes Chappell and adds that it is assumed that this work of Hawkins is Drexel 5609.[4]


It is not known how the manuscript came into the possession of Edward Francis Rimbault. A musicologist and a voracious collector of British manuscripts, it is not surprising that the manuscript would become one of Rimbault's holdings. After his death in 1876, the manuscript was listed as lot 1391 in the 1877 auction catalog of his estate.[5][6] Purchased for ₤75,[7] the manuscript was one of about 600 lots acquired by Philadelphia-born financier Joseph W. Drexel, who had already amassed a large music library. Upon Drexel's death, he bequeathed his music library to The Lenox Library. When the Lenox Library merged with the Astor Library to become the New York Public Library, the Drexel Collection became the basis for one of its founding units, the Music Division. Today, Drexel 5609 is part of the Drexel Collection in the Music Division, now located at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.

PMOT = Popular music of olden time

The version of Greensleeves in Drexel 5609 is one of two versions that include a romanesca for the form of both divsions of the song.[8][9]

John M. Ward noticed the resemblance between the untitled song on page 37 and the song "I would I were in my own country."[10]


Musicologist John Wendland noted that the Renaissance tune Madre non mi far Monaca is associated with many other titles, including The Queen's Almaine which appears in Drexel 5609, page 113.[11]

Issue of meaning of the word "thumpe." It is a form of pizzicato. The piece "Thumpe at my cousin" is in Drexel 56096, pages 134-135. The Queen of Bohemia's Dumpe, page 122.

Marya Freund (12 December 1876—21 May 1966) was a German soprano.

She was born in Breslau. She studied violin with Pablo de Sarasate and with Ivan Zajc. She studied voice with Julius Stockhausen, Raimund von zur-Mühlen and Ernesto Colli. She made her debut in 1909. She made concert tours of Europe and the United States. She appeared with the Leipzig Gewandhaus under Artur Nikisch, the Concertgebouw under Willem Mengelberg, the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Pierre Monteux, as well as conductors Gabriel Pierne, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Hermann Scherchen and others. She was known for Lieder interpretations as well as for pioneering contemporary music. She was particularly tied to the music of Arnold Schoenberg. She created the part of the Waldtaube in the first performance of Gurre-Lieder and was well-known for her interpretation of Pierrot Lunaire as as The Book of the Hanging Gardens as well as the soprano solo in the String_Quartets_(Schoenberg)#String_Quartet_No._2. She sang the Waldtaube again in the Viennese premiere in 1914 as well as in the French premiere in 1927 (singing the part in French). She appeared in Spain, Italy, Denmark and Austria. She sang Erik Satie's Socrate in Paris in 1925. She also sang works by Ernest Bloch, Zoltan Kodaly, Darius Milhaud, Alfredo Casella, Karol Szymanowski, Francis Poulenc, Ildelbrando Pizzetti, Serge Prokofiev, Georges Auric and Gian Francesco Malipiero. For many years she taught singing in Paris where she taught a course in the interpreation of classic, romantic and modern music. She taught masterclasses at Lausanne. Her son was bass Doda Conrad (born in 1905).

Music Theory

  • "An area of study that tends to focus on musical materials per se, in order to explain (and/or offer generalizations about) their various principles and processes. It investigates how these materials function (or, in a more speculative vein, how they might function), so that musical “structure” can be better understood. More broadly, in the United States, music theory refers to an academic discipline with a dual focus on research and pedagogy. Regarding the latter, especially at the undergraduate level (and earlier), theory is often coterminous with a program for teaching a variety of skills, from the rudiments of melody and rhythm, to harmony, counterpoint, and form (along with their attendant “ear training” or aural perception). Related to but standing apart from these fundamentals of praxis are the various research areas of modern theory, as described under §5 below. It should be noted that music analysis plays a major role in this agenda. Although conceptually separate from theory, in that analysis often focuses on the particulars of a given composition whereas theory considers the broader systems that underlie many such works, in practice the two have a reciprocal relationship." - David Carson Berry, Grove/Oxford Music Online.
  • "Music theory is part of the written language of music. It is the written word of this aural art, music. It is not something only intended for music students. We don't have to use it only to analyze a Bach fugue. It is a living part of all music...Music is a language. It has its own vocabulary....One point I like to make to my students is that they need to have the ability to communicate with the rest of the free world. This means using the same nomenclature all musicians use." -- Harry Miedema. Intro to: Michael Miller, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory 2nd edition, New York: Alpha PUblishing/Penguin, 2005.


  • Goethschius "the only well-known American music theorist of his generation. That was partly because music theory as a scholarly discipline did not establish itself in the United States until much later. Early twentieth-century college music majors studied "harmony" and "keyboard harmony" rather than theory; and sight-singing was taught as a separate course called "solfeggio."

Enharmonic

Page 647:

  • Enharmonic: Notes that have the same pitch but are spelled differently. Keys can be enharmonic as well.
  • Enharmonic Modulation: A modulation in which a chord common to both keys is reinterpreted enharmonically to fit into the new key. The chord can be spelled to fit into either key, and it must be able to be heard as a sensible chord in both keys.
  • Enharmonic Reinterpretation: Technique of treating a chord as if it were spelled in a different key as part of a modulation.
  • Enharmonic Spelling: Writing a note as its enharmonic equivalent. Technique used by composers to indicate clearly the direction in which a pitch will move, and to make the music easier for the performer to read.
  • Enharmonically Equivalent Keys: Keys that sound the same but are spelled differently.

La solita forma

From the article

La solita forma (or multipartite form) is an operatic term used to define the formal design of scenes in 19th century Italian opera from the bel canto era of Rossini, Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti to the late operas of Giuseppe Verdi.[1] The English phrase "multipartite form" is most often used by American musicologist Philip Gossett, beginning with a 1974 essay,[2] where he refers to a general framework of melodramatic scene types, especially duets. Each scene gradually progresses from an opening static lyric moment to a finale through several standard musical tempos and set pieces, gradually adding characters and adding or unraveling complexity in the plot.

Because composers wrote operas in short spans of time, the standardized form of scenes ensured a time-tested dramatic and musical structure. The term itself comes from a work of criticism by Abramo Basevi[3]

Recomposed lead

Background

For each genre there developed certain rules about internal structure, rules that could be observed, bent, or broken, but which composers and librettists recognized.[4]

the most basic division was between poetry intended for recitative and that intended for formal numbers.[5]

Italian prosody

The most basic division was between poetry intended for recitative and that intended for formal numbers.[6] An Italian settenario is not really a “seven-syllable” line of verse, since it can have six, seven, or eight syllables, depending on whether the line is:

  • (a) tronco (concluding with an accented syllable, a so-called masculine ending, hence six syllables);
  • (b) piano (the form according to which the poetic meter is measured, concluding with an accented syllable and an unaccented one, a so-called feminine ending, hence seven syllables); or
  • (c) sdrucciolo (concluding with an accented syllable and two unaccented syllables, hence eight syllables).[7]

Notice that, in Italian verse, the final vowel of one word and the first of the next elide and are considered a single syllable: hence “[fe]-ste al,” “Se i,” and “[gl̓oc]-chi il” are counted as single syllables. Similar considerations affect senari, ottonari, decasillabi, and endecasillabi verses (“six,” “eight,” “ten,” or “eleven” syllables, respectively, but which can normally exist in tronco, piano, or sdrucciolo forms).[8]

Verses for recitative were written in what is known as versi sciolti, poetry consisting of endecasillabi and settenari freely mixed, with only an occasional rhyme. A single line of poetry could be assigned to a single character, or divided among several characters, and grammatical units might well run on from one verse to the next.[9]

The division of a single line of verse among characters, the irregular (though not unplanned) changes in the length of lines, the occasional but not prevalent use of rhyme, all imply a musical setting in a freer, declamatory style, that is, recitative. Faced with such a text, composers usually set them accordingly.[10]

The division of a single line of verse among characters, the irregular (though not unplanned) changes in the length of lines, the occasional but not prevalent use of rhyme, all imply a musical setting in a freer, declamatory style, that is, recitative. Faced with such a text, composers usually set them accordingly.

That does not mean, however, that recitative verse, versi sciolti, can never be set lyrically. Indeed, one of the ways in which the operas of the generation of Bellini and Donizetti differ from those of Rossini and composers of his time is in the extent to which later composers pepper their recitative scenes with lyrical periods, even when the verse forms do not easily lend themselves to this practice.[11]

Verses intended for formal numbers are quite different. In the simplest case, solo arias, they consist of stanzas of rhymed poetry in a single meter, or first in one meter, then in another.[12]

Poetry in fixed meters was used not only for lyrical sections but also for dialogue falling within musical numbers (as opposed to the versi sciolti employed for dialogue falling between musical numbers). The difference is significant, and using the term “recitative” to refer indiscriminately to both kinds of music hides distinctions that are important for how we must hear and perform the passages in question. Within a musical number dialogue (or parlante as it was often called in the nineteenth century) was frequently organized into more regular rhythmic units, with the orchestra providing continuity and structure, while the vocal line fits itself into the texture more freely, following the implications of the dramatic situation.[13]

By purely poetic means, then (the use of different meters, the use of stanzas of verse for a single character, the use of dialogue, etc.), librettists—often in consultation with the composer—materially influenced the structure and character of both the entire opera and each individual piece. They provided composers with recitative verse and with formal numbers, so that the poetry shaped important musical decisions. For the most part, composers took the structural parameters implicit in the poetry, fashioning each composition accordingly and from those parameters developing the shape of the entire opera.[14]

Versi sciolti: "loose verse": an alternation of eleven- and seven-syllable lines - no stanzaic structure and only occsional rhymes.[15] Often set as recitative, with "kinetic" action - texts that moves the action forward.


Gossett's first example: "Ebben, a te, ferisci" from Rossini's Semiramide.

Four parts (as evidence by text).

  • Part 1: parallel poetic stanzas; dialogue
  • Part 2: cantabile: lyrical contemplation of the dramatic situation
  • Part 3:arioso; short melodic phrases; simple chordal background
  • Part 4: cabaletta; in aria consists of lyrical period, often concluding coloratura;

Donizetti accepts Rossini's formal model, though with different melodic style.[16]

Verdi was seeking new forms.[17] By mid 19th-century, the four parts had become two, the slow and lyrical cantabile followed by the contrasting cabaletta. Example from La Traviata, Alfredo-Violetta duet: [part one] Colpevol sono; [part 2] Parigi, o cara; [part 3] Ah non più; [part 4] Gran Dio! morir si giovine. Gossett: the text forces a change of the character of each section, although the four-part structure is maintained.[18] Despite ambivalence, Verdi maintained solita forma in Aida, example: Già i sacerdoti adunansi [part 1]; Morire! Ah! tu dei vivere! [part 2]; Di lei non più [part 3]; Chi ti salva, sciagurato [part 4; cabaletta].
