Book excerpt: "This publication has been prepared to provide a practical guide to Weill's music, with concise information regarding published editions and performance material, as well as specifications of cast, instrumentation, and duration. Intended as a handy reference tool for performers, conductors, and producers, the catalogue describes each of Weill's works available for performance and specifies publishers and representatives. In addition, a biography and chronology by David Farneth supply information which may be readily incorporated into program notes. A brief bibliography points readers to other biographical sources. The guide is divided into three main sections: stage works, concert works, and arrangements. All stage works -- operas, plays with music, musicals, ballets, etc. -- are listed chronologically. The list of concert works is subdivided by type of performing force; large and small instrumental ensembles, voice(s) with instrumental ensembles, a cappella chorus, solo voice and piano. Within these subdivisions, titles are listed chronologically. A list of song collections completes this section. Orchestral arrangements made by Weill and others, arrangements of concert works for voice(s) and instrumental ensemble adapted from stage works, and arrangements for chamber music forces and jazz or salon orchestra round out the catalogue."--
Download or read book Kurt Weill The Threepenny Opera written by Stephen Hinton and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1990-07-26 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book on the best known of the Weill-Brecht collaborations which explores the extent and significance of the composer's contribution. After a detailed reconstruction of the work's genesis and continued revision over three decades, Stephen Hinton examines the spin-offs on which Weill and Brecht participated: the instrumental suite, the film, the lawsuit, the novel, and the musical and textual revisions of songs. In a survey of the stage history, Hinton pays particular attention to pioneering productions in Germany and Great Britain. Kim Kowalke provides an exhaustive account of the history of The Threepenny Opera in America, Geoffrey Abbott addresses questions concerning authentic performance practice, and David Drew analyses large-scale motivic relationships in the music. Among the earliest writings on the work reprinted here, those by Theodor W. Adorno, Ernst Bloch and Walter Benjamin appear for the first time in English translation. The book contains numerous illustrations, a discography, and music examples.

Download or read book Forbidden Music written by Michael Haas and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIV With National Socialism's arrival in Germany in 1933, Jews dominated music more than virtually any other sector, making it the most important cultural front in the Nazi fight for German identity. This groundbreaking book looks at the Jewish composers and musicians banned by the Third Reich and the consequences for music throughout the rest of the twentieth century. Because Jewish musicians and composers were, by 1933, the principal conveyors of Germany’s historic traditions and the ideals of German culture, the isolation, exile and persecution of Jewish musicians by the Nazis became an act of musical self-mutilation. Michael Haas looks at the actual contribution of Jewish composers in Germany and Austria before 1933, at their increasingly precarious position in Nazi Europe, their forced emigration before and during the war, their ambivalent relationships with their countries of refuge, such as Britain and the United States and their contributions within the radically changed post-war music environment. /div

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1925-1950 is the first publication to deal with the avant-garde in the Nordic countries in this period. The essays cover a wide range of avant-garde manifestations: literature, visual arts, theatre, architecture and design, film, radio, body culture and magazines. It is the first major historical work to consider the Nordic avant-garde in a transnational perspective that includes all the arts and to discuss the role of the avant-garde not only within the aesthetic field but in a broader cultural and political context: the pre-war and wartime responses to international developments, the new cultural institutions, sexual politics, the impact of refugees and the new start after the war.
Download or read book Kurt Weill s Little Masterpieces written by Abigail S. Kimball and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on three songs from stage works of Kurt Weill (1900-1950): "September Song" from Knickerbocker Holiday (1938), "Speak Low" from One Touch of Venus (1943), and "Lost in the Stars" from Lost in the Stars (1949). All from Weills time in the United States, these songs are adaptable as solos and have become American standards performed in various arrangements and styles of popular music by many different artists.The first part of this study is a biographical sketch of Weills life and music. It is intended to provide context for the three songs by tracing his beginnings as a German composer of stage works with volatile political messages, to his flight to the United States and his emergence as a composer of Broadway successes.The second part is a commentary on the composition of the three selected songs. The lyrics and musical content are examined to show how Weills settings convey the dramatic mood and meaning as well as the specific nuances of the words. Description of the context of these songs explains how they were textually and musically intended to advance the plot and the emotional arc of the dramatic characters. The popularity of these songs endures beyond their original shows, and so there is discussion of how other artists have adapted and performed them, and available recordings are cited.Weills songs, his little masterpieces, have proven to be truly evocative and so attractive to American audiences that they have undergone myriad adaptations. This study seeks to provide the personal and historical background of Kurt Weills music and to demonstrate why these three songs in particular have proven to have such lasting appeal.
Download or read book 100 Years of Kurt Weill written by Tom Sellar and published by A Special Issue of "Theatre". This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2000 marks the hundredth birthday of theater and opera composer Kurt Weill (1900-1950). In celebration of this occasion, 100 Years of Kurt Weill features recently rediscovered and previously untranslated dramatic works by Weill and critical essays and articles reflecting on his legacy and influence. Reviews and reports on centenary productions from around the world are included along with panel discussions by directors and musicians on Weill's cultural identity. 100 Years of Kurt Weill makes a notable addition to the commemoration of the anniversary with the English-language publication of two major Weill librettos, both translated and introduced by international opera director Jonathan Eaton. Written in 1925, Royal Palace is a one-act opera with a libretto by surrealist/expressionist poet-playwright Yvan Goll. It was one of the first operas to incorporate film. The other work, Die Bürgschaft (The Pledge), was inspired by a dark social parable by Johann Gottfried von Herder and written in collaboration with Caspar Neher. The piece was banned in 1933 by the Nazi regime because of its controversial content and was not restaged in its original form until Eaton's 1998 and 1999 productions in Bielefeld, Germany, and at the Spoleto Festival U.S.A. This special issue specifically addresses the theatrical context of Weill's music, exploring new perspectives on the artist and his work and on recent developments in Weill scholarship. These articles, combined with the previously unpublished works, make 100 Years of Kurt Weill a considerable and unique contribution to the centenary commemoration of his birth.
