Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Joseph Haydn & die 'Neue Welt'" - dieser Titel mag zunächst irritieren, war Joseph Haydn doch nie in Amerika. Doch bei genauerer Betrachtung überrascht die Vielfalt dieses Themenkomplexes, der zwei große komplementäre Bereiche abdeckt: Zum einen die Fragen, wie Haydn und seine Zeitgenossen Amerika wahrgenommen haben, in welche Diskussionen sie eingebunden waren, welche Bilder aus der fernen Welt von der anderen Seite des Atlantiks in ihren Köpfen vorherrschten und wie sie diese künstlerisch fruchtbar machten. Zum anderen gilt es zu erforschen, wie Haydns Musik in Amerika wahrgenommen wurde und wie sie sich dort verbreitete; welche Werke von anderen Komponisten produktiv aufgegriffen wurden und welche vielleicht auf dem Weg über den großen Teich verloren gingen. Mit Beiträgen von Christine Siegert | Gernot Gruber | Waldemar Zacharasiewicz | Bertil van Boer | Thomas Tolley | Paulo M. Kühl | Kathleen J. Lamkin | Michael E.

Download or read book The Haydn Economy written by Nicholas Mathew and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing the final three decades of Haydn’s career, this book uses the composer as a prism through which to examine urgent questions across the humanities. In this far-reaching work of music history and criticism, Nicholas Mathew reimagines the world of Joseph Haydn and his contemporaries, with its catastrophic upheavals and thrilling sense of potential. In the process, Mathew tackles critical questions of particular moment: how we tell the history of the European Enlightenment and Romanticism; the relation of late eighteenth-century culture to incipient capitalism and European colonialism; and how the modern market and modern aesthetic values were—and remain—inextricably entwined. The Haydn Economy weaves a vibrant material history of Haydn’s career, extending from the sphere of the ancient Esterházy court to his frenetic years as an entrepreneur plying between London and Vienna to his final decade as a venerable musical celebrity, during which he witnessed the transformation of his legacy by a new generation of students and acolytes, Beethoven foremost among them. Ultimately, Mathew asserts, Haydn’s historical trajectory compels us to ask what we might retain from the cultural and political practices of European modernity—whether we can extract and preserve its moral promise from its moral failures. And it demands that we confront the deep histories of capitalism that continue to shape our beliefs about music, sound, and material culture.

Book The Beethoven Syndrome

    Book Details:
  • Author : Mark Evan Bonds
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2019-11-11
  • ISBN : 0190068485
  • Pages : 304 pages

Download or read book The Beethoven Syndrome written by Mark Evan Bonds and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Beethoven Syndrome" is the inclination of listeners to hear music as the projection of a composer's inner self. This was a radically new way of listening that emerged only after Beethoven's death. Beethoven's music was a catalyst for this change, but only in retrospect, for it was not until after his death that listeners began to hear composers in general--and not just Beethoven--in their works, particularly in their instrumental music. The Beethoven Syndrome: Hearing Music as Autobiography traces the rise, fall, and persistence of this mode of listening from the middle of the eighteenth century to the present. Prior to 1830, composers and audiences alike operated within a framework of rhetoric in which the burden of intelligibility lay squarely on the composer, whose task it was to move listeners in a calculated way. But through a confluence of musical, philosophical, social, and economic changes, the paradigm of expressive objectivity gave way to one of subjectivity in the years around 1830. The framework of rhetoric thus yielded to a framework of hermeneutics: concert-goers no longer perceived composers as orators but as oracles to be deciphered. In the wake of World War I, however, the aesthetics of "New Objectivity" marked a return not only to certain stylistic features of eighteenth-century music but to the earlier concept of expression itself. Objectivity would go on to become the cornerstone of the high modernist aesthetic that dominated the century's middle decades. Masterfully citing a broad array of source material from composers, critics, theorists, and philosophers, Mark Evan Bonds's engaging study reveals how perceptions of subjective expression have endured, leading to the present era of mixed and often conflicting paradigms of listening.

Book Identity Mediations in Latin American Cinema and Beyond

Download or read book Identity Mediations in Latin American Cinema and Beyond written by Cecilia Nuria Gil Mariño and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-12 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appearance of sound film boosted entertainment circuits around the world, drawing cultural cartographies that forged images of spaces, nations and regions. By the late 1920s and early ‘30s, film played a key role in the configuration of national and regional cultural identities in incipient mass markets. Over the course of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, this transmedia logic not only went unthreatened, but also intensified with the arrival of new media and the development of new technologies. In this respect, this book strikes a dialogue between analyses that reflect the flows and transits of music, films and artists, mainly in the Ibero-American space, although it also features essays on Soviet and Asian cinema, with a view to exploring the processes of configuration of cultural identities. As such, this work views national borders as flexible spaces that permit an exploration of the appearance of transversal relations that are part of broader networks of circulation, as well as economic, social and political models beyond the domestic sphere.

Book Latin America and the Transports of Opera

Download or read book Latin America and the Transports of Opera written by Roberto Ignacio Díaz and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America and the Transports of Opera studies a series of episodes in the historical and textual convergence of a hallowed art form and a part of the world often regarded as peripheral. Perhaps unexpectedly, the archives of opera generate new arguments about several issues at the heart of the established discussion about Latin America: the allure of European cultural models; the ambivalence of exoticism; the claims of nationalism and cosmopolitanism; and, ultimately, the place of the region in the global circulation of the arts. Opera’s transports concern literal and imagined journeys as well as the emotions that its stories and sounds trigger as they travel back and forth between Europe—the United States, too—and Latin America. Focusing mostly on librettos and other literary forms, this book analyzes Calderón de la Barca’s baroque play on the myth of Venus and Adonis, set to music by a Spanish composer at Lima’s viceregal court; Alejo Carpentier’s neobaroque novella on Vivaldi’s opera about Moctezuma; the entanglements of opera with class, gender, and ethnicity throughout Cuban history; music dramas about enslaved persons by Carlos Gomes and Hans Werner Henze, staged in Rio de Janeiro and Copenhagen; the uses of Latin American poetry and magical realism in works by John Adams and Daniel Catán; and a novel by Manuel Mujica Lainez set in Buenos Aires’s Teatro Colón, plus a chamber opera about Victoria Ocampo with a libretto by Beatriz Sarlo. Close readings of these texts underscore the import and meanings of opera in Latin American cultural history.

Book The Conquest of Mexico

  • Author : Peter B. Villella
  • Publisher : University of Oklahoma Press
  • Release : 2022-07-07
  • ISBN : 080619152X
  • Pages : 443 pages

Download or read book The Conquest of Mexico written by Peter B. Villella and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2022-07-07 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish invasion of Mexico in 1519, which led to the end of the Aztec Empire, was one of the most influential events in the history of the modern Atlantic world. But equally consequential, as this volume makes clear, were the ways the Conquest was portrayed. In essays spanning five centuries and three continents, The Conquest of Mexico: 500 Years of Reinventions explores how politicians, writers, artists, activists, and others have strategically reimagined the Conquest to influence and manipulate perceptions within a wide variety of controversies and debates, including those touching on indigeneity, nationalism, imperialism, modernity, and multiculturalism. Writing from a range of perspectives and disciplines, the authors demonstrate that the Conquest of Mexico, whose significance has ever been marked by fundamental ambiguity, has consistently influenced how people across the modern Atlantic world conceptualize themselves and their societies. After considering the looming, ubiquitous role of the Conquest in Mexican thought and discourse since the sixteenth century, the contributors go farther afield to examine the symbolic relevance of the Conquest in contexts as diverse as Tudor England, Bourbon France, postimperial Spain, modern Latin America, and even contemporary Hollywood. Highlighting the extent to which the Spanish-Aztec conflict inspired historical reimaginings, these essays reveal how the Conquest became such an iconic event—and a perennial medium by which both Europe and the Americas have, for centuries, endeavored to understand themselves as well as their relationship to others. A valuable contribution to ongoing efforts to demythologize and properly memorialize the Spanish-Aztec War of 1519–21, this volume also aptly illustrates how we make history of the past and how that history-making shapes our present—and possibly our future.

Book Italian Opera in Global and Transnational Perspective

Download or read book Italian Opera in Global and Transnational Perspective written by Axel Körner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-24 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays discusses the European and global expansion of Italian opera and the significance of this process for debates on opera at home in Italy. Covering different parts of Europe, the Americas, Southeast and East Asia, it investigates the impact of transnational musical exchanges on notions of national identity associated with the production and reception of Italian opera across the world. As a consequence of these exchanges between composers, impresarios, musicians and audiences, ideas of operatic Italianness (italianit...) constantly changed and had to be reconfigured, reflecting the radically transformative experience of time and space that throughout the nineteenth century turned opera into a global aesthetic commodity. The book opens with a substantial introduction discussing key concepts in cross-disciplinary perspective and concludes with an epilogue relating its findings to different historiographical trends in transnational opera studies.

Book Original     Interpretation     Rezeption

Download or read book Original Interpretation Rezeption written by Walter Reicher and published by Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Haydn wurde bereits zu Lebzeiten als "Orpheus", "Shakespeare" oder "Tintoretto der Musik" bezeichnet. Diese Benennungen aus Musik, Literatur und Bildender Kunst zeigen uns die Wertschätzung, die er bei seinen Zeitgenossen erfuhr. Darüber hinaus geben sie auch den Anstoß, sich den Fragen zu stellen, wie sehr sich Haydn für die anderen Künste interessierte bzw. wie Haydn seinerseits Künstlerinnen und Künstler aller Sparten bis heute inspiriert. In den Jahren 2013, 2015 und 2017 wurden im Rahmen der Haydn Festspiele in Eisenstadt von der Internationalen Joseph Haydn Privatstiftung Eisenstadt gemeinsam mit der Kulturabteilung der Burgenländischen Landesregierung drei musikwissenschaftliche Symposien veranstaltet, die sich diesen Aspekten widmeten. Unter den Tagungsthemen "Joseph Haydn und die Künste", "Aufführungspraxis und Interpretation – Zur Rezeptionsgeschichte von Joseph Haydns Werken" und "Haydn und ,Die Schöpfung' – Zur Entstehungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte von Haydns Oratorium" gehaltene Referate wurden für den vorliegenden Band von den Autorinnen und Autoren überarbeitet und aktualisiert.
