Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of the Operatic Canon by : Cormac Newark
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Operatic Canon written by Cormac Newark and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opera has always been controversial, not only because of how vastly expensive it is to produce. It has historically been a vital and complex mixture of high art and commerce, socially elite and popular or middle-class, the new and the increasingly old. When a city wants a new landmark building, an opera house is very often the solution: why should this still be the case? The Oxford Handbook of the Operatic Canon examines how opera has become the concrete edifice it was never meant to be, by looking at how it evolved from a market entirely driven by novelty to one of the most arthritically canonic art forms still in existence. This new collection addresses questions that are key to opera's past, present and future. Why is the art form apparently so arthritically canonical, with the top ten titles, all more than a century old, accounting for nearly a quarter of all performances world-wide? Why is this top-heavy system of production becoming still more restrictive, even while the repertory is seemingly expanding, notably to include early music? Why did the operatic canon evolve so differently from that of concert music? And why has that evolution attracted so comparatively little attention from scholars? Why, finally, if opera houses all over the world are dutifully honoring their audiences' loyalty to these favorite works, are they having to struggle so hard financially? Answers to these and other problems are offered here by 26 musicologists, historians, and industry professionals working in a wide range of contexts. Topics range from the seventeenth century to the present day, and from Russia to England and continental Europe to the Americas. In an effort to reflect the contested nature of most of the issues facing opera, each topic is addressed by two essays, introduced jointly by the respective authors, and followed by a jointly compiled list of further reading. These paired essays complement each other in different ways: for example, by treating the same geographical location in different periods, by providing different national or regional perspectives on the same period, or by thinking through similar conceptual issues in contrasting or changing contexts. Posing its questions in fresh, provocative terms, The Oxford Handbook of the Operatic Canon challenges scholarly assumptions and expectations, and breathes fresh air into the fields of music and cultural history.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Art and Classical Myth by : Jennie Hirsh
Download or read book Contemporary Art and Classical Myth written by Jennie Hirsh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary art is deeply engaged with the subject of classical myth. Yet within the literature on contemporary art, little has been said about this provocative relationship. Composed of fourteen original essays, Contemporary Art and Classical Myth addresses this scholarly gap, exploring, and in large part establishing, the multifaceted intersection of contemporary art and classical myth. Moving beyond the notion of art as illustration, the essays assembled here adopt a range of methodological frameworks, from iconography to deconstruction, and do so across an impressive range of artists and objects: Francis Al?s, Ghada Amer, Wim Delvoye, Luciano Fabro, Joanna Frueh, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Duane Hanson, Yayoi Kusama, Roy Lichtenstein, Kara Walker, and an iconic photograph by Richard Drew subsequently entitled The Falling Man.? Arranged so as to highlight both thematic and structural affinities, these essays manifest various aspects of the link between contemporary art and classical myth, while offering novel insights into the artists and myths under consideration. Some essays concentrate on single works as they relate to specific myths, while others take a broader approach, calling on myth as a means of grappling with dominant trends in contemporary art.
Book Synopsis Venanzio Rauzzini in Britain by : Paul Francis Rice
Download or read book Venanzio Rauzzini in Britain written by Paul Francis Rice and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2015 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable career of Venanzio Rauzzini (1746-1810) sheds new light on changing musical tastes in late eighteenth-century Britain. Rauzzini was a leading soprano castrato who sang in the premiere of Mozart's Lucio Silla in 1772. Mozart was so pleased with the singer that he composed the famous motet Exsultate Jubilate for him. This book examines Rauzzini's career in Britain, starting with his three seasons as a principal singer at the King's Theatre in London (1774-77). Rauzzini was the first castrato to make Britain his home, and he enjoyed a multifaceted career there as a singer, concert director, composer (operas, chamber music, and songs), and voice teacher. Rauzzini's leadership of the Bath subscription concerts from 1780-1810 reveals the degree to which shifts in the social demographics of Bath over this period caused him to reevaluate his compositional choices, especially in light of the patriotic fervor that swept the nation during the protracted war with France. Furthermore, the recovery of much of the repertory performed during these concerts provides specific insights into issues of concert management at the time. Paul F. Rice, Professor of Musicology in the School of Music, Memorial University of Newfoundland, is the author of four previous books and has edited scores for CD recordings on the Naxos, Dorian, and Centaur labels.

Download or read book Venanzio Rauzzini written by Paul F. Rice and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venanzio Rauzzini (1746–1810) enjoyed a multi-faceted career as a singer, composer and concert director. He began his career in Rome in 1765 as a soprano castrato, and quickly established his operatic credentials in various Italian centres before undertaking leading roles in Vienna and Munich. He returned to the Italian peninsula in 1772 and created the role of Cecilio in the premiere of W.A. Mozart’s opera, Lucio Silla on 26 December. Mozart was so pleased with Rauzzini’s singing that he composed the motet, Exultate jubilate, for the singer. Rauzzini accepted the invitation to become the primo uomo at the King’s Theatre in London for the 1774–75 season of Italian operas. Such was his success that the contract was extended for a further two seasons. Rauzzini remained in Britain rather than returning to the Continent. He continued to sing professionally, directed concerts in both London and Bath, and was a prolific composer. Rauzzini directed the subscriptions concerts in Bath from 1777–1810, raising their prestige to the equal of any in London. Furthermore, he was one of the most sought-after voice teachers in Britain. The cantata, Piramo e Tisbe, was drawn from his opera of the same name that was given its first London performance on 16 March 1775. Rauzzini’s opera proved to be a favourite with both audiences and other singers, and it was revived in London in 1776 and 1781. The composer never published the complete opera, but extended excerpts from it were published in 1775 that created a cantata for the title characters. Not only did the arrangement preserve the principal elements of the story, it likely had greater utility as a performance score than would the publication of the full opera. The overture of the opera has been appended to this edition of the cantata.
