Download or read book The Lyric Myth of Voice written by Jessica Gabriel Peritz and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How did 'voice' become a metaphor for selfhood in the Western imagination? The Lyric Myth of Voice situates the emergence of an ideological connection between voice and subjectivity in late eighteenth-century Italy, where long-standing political anxieties and new notions of cultural enlightenment collided in the mythical figure of the lyric poet-singer. Drawing on a range of approaches and frameworks from historical musicology to gender studies, disability studies, anthropology, and literary theory, Jessica Gabriel Peritz shows how this ancient yet modern myth of voice attained interpretable form, flesh, and sound. Ultimately, Peritz argues that music and literature together shaped the singing voice into a tool for civilizing modern Italian subjects"--

Download or read book Romantic and Its Cognates written by Hans Eichner and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1972-12-15 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the word romantic and its many cognates in European languages began to be used as technical terms towards the end of the eighteenth century, the quest for a satisfactory definition of their meanings has continued unabated. This collection of essays traces the history of the word in the major European languages, showing how romantic and its cognates were first introduced, how their usage spread and their connotations proliferated, and how their present usage became established. This book opens with an introduction by the editor, followed by an essay in which Professor Raymond Immerwaher, Chairman of the Department of German, University of Western Ontario, shows how romantic and its cognates became fashionable in England, France and Germany, and traces the extension of the meanings of these words up to 1790. The story is then taken up in individual essays on the history of the word and its cognates in the major European countries: in Germany, by the editor; in England, by Professor George Whalley, FRSC, of the Department of English, Queen's University, Kingston; in France, by Professor Maurice Z. Shroder of the Department of French, Barnard College, Columbia University; in Italy, by Professor Olga Ragusa of the Department of Italian, Columbia University; in Spain, by Professor Donald L. Shaw of the Department of Hispanic Studies, University of Edinburgh; in Scandinavia, by Professor P.M. Mitchell of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literature, University of Illinois; and in Russia, by Professor Sigrid McLaughlin of the Department of Slavic Studies, University of California at Santa Cruz. The final essay, by H.H.H. Remak, Professor of German and Comparative Literature at the University of Indiana, reports on trends of recent research on West European romanticism and suggests fruitful avenues for further exploration. The book will be of immense value to students and specialists interested in literary, linguistic and cultural aspects of romanticism, and to those concerned with comparative literature and the history of ideas. Hans Eicner taught at Queen's University, Kingston, from 1950 to 1967 when he was appointed Professor and Chairman of German, University of Toronto. Among his published books are: Thomas Mann, Eine Einführung in sein Werk; Friedrich Schlegel: Literary Notebooks 1797-1801; Reading German for Scientists; Kritische Friedrich Schlegel-Ausgabe (in four volumes); Four Modern German Authors: Mann, Rilke, Kafka, Brecht. In 1967 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With The Archive of the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin Catalogue a complete catalogue of the music archive of the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin is now available for the first time since the archive, which disappeared during World War II, was rediscovered in 1999. Since 2001 the more than 260,000 pages of music manuscripts, copies and first prints (from 17th to early 19th cent.) were revised by two musicologists which compiled an index of shelf marks and an index of composers. Thus detailed searches in the holdings of the archive (which were filmed since 2002 in severeal parts on microfiche at K. G. Saur) are possible for the first time. The Catalogue lists 9,735 works of 1,008 different composers. It provides also a concordance signature - microfiche and therefore serves as a cumulated guide to the microfiche editions, all the more the registers have been revised and improved. The unique collection is introduced by a number of articles by musicologists Axel Fischer, Christoph Henzel, Klaus Hortschansky, Matthias Kornemann, Ulrich Leisinger, Mary Oleskiewicz, Ralph-J. Reipsch, and Tobias Schwinger.

Download or read book The Chevalier Noverre Father of Modern Ballet written by Deryck Lynham and published by David Leonard. This book was released on 1972 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name of Jean Georges Noverre stands forth in bold relief agains the background of the history of the art of ballet. His Lettres sur la Danse have been translated into almost every European language and yet, although the idea that he was largely responsible for creating the ballet d'action, or dramatic ballet, has gained general acceptance and his name is one of the most frequently quoted in the literature of the dance, scant light has been shed on his life and work. This biography, first published in 1950, was then and remains now the only major study of him. He was born in Paris on April 29th, 1727, and was destined to a military career and given a liberal education, but he showed little aptitude for tactical exercises or army discipline and was nightly to be found haunting the theatres of Paris, where he was fired with the ambition to become a dancer. By 1743 he was a dancer at the Paris Opera Comique, and he produced his first ballet there in 1749. He foresaw and advocated most of the reforms which were to be carried out a century later by Laban, Fokine and Jooss. His ideas, however, met with such opposition that he had to seek their realization outside his own country, and it was in Germany, Austria, and London that he staged his greatest ballets. He set out his ideas in his Lettres sur la danse (Stuttgart 1760) which, although today much of their content is taken for granted, when they were written and indeed until the beginning of the twentieth century, were revolutionary. At a time when the court ballet had degenerated into a meaningless succession of conventional dances, to miscellaneous airs hastily strung together, and selected to display the virtuosity of the leading dancer, Noverre advocated unity of design and a logical progression from introduction to climax in which the whole was not sacrificed to the part and all that was unnecessary to the theme was eliminated. Movement, he felt, should be defined by the tone and time of the music and he compared the relationship of music to dancing to that of words to song, but he criticized much of the ballet music of his time (which was still based on the work of Lully) as old fashioned and of too slow a tempo. He told choreographers to abandon entrechats, cabrioles, and overcomplicated steps, and turn to nature for natural means of expression which could be understood by all and not merely by a small elite, which is no more or less than has been done by the exponents of the Modern Dance Movement. His efforts to bring about a reform of costume were successful and he lived to see masks, full-bottomed wigs, and cumbersome hooped and panniered dresses abandoned in favour of attire better suited to the roles portrayed. None of Noverre's 150 ballets has been handed down to us, but it has been given to few to have so great and lasting an influence on the art of ballet, and it can be said without exaggeration that he is the grandfather of the ballet as we know it today.
