Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Knight at the Opera examines the remarkable and unknown role that the medieval legend (and Wagner opera) Tannh user played in Jewish cultural life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book analyzes how three of the greatest Jewish thinkers of that era, Heinrich Heine, Theodor Herzl, and I. L. Peretz, used this central myth of Germany to strengthen Jewish culture and to attack anti-Semitism. Readers will see how Tannh user evolves from a medieval knight to Peretz's pious Jewish scholar in the Land of Israel. The book also discusses how the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, was so inspired by Wagner's opera that he wrote The Jewish State while attending performances of it. A Knight at the Opera uses Tannh user as a way to examine the changing relationship between Jews and the broader world during the advent of the modern era, and to question if any art, even that of a prominent anti-Semite, should be considered taboo.

Excerpt: ... its court with everything needed and that, too, in greatest abundance and splendor; it is the center of an extraecclesiastical worship neither monastic nor ascetical and is guarded within a castle accessible only to those chosen of Heaven. As a natural result of Wolfram's different conception of the grail he has depicted a court of far more lavish magnificence than that of Chrestien, laying greater emphasis upon the manifold things which the grail supplies. "Wunschding," not holy relic, hovered before the poet's vision as he wrote.1 Chrestien's account reads: In both her hands a damsel holds A grail, and with the squires doth enter, Fair and richly garbed and slender. And as she comes so gleams the grail That all the candles pale, As when the sun or yet the moon Doth rout the stars at night or noon. Nor did the maiden come alone, Another in whose hands there shone A silver trencher came. The grail of purest gold did flame With precious stones upon its faces. On land or sea, among all races No stones so rich as these there are; The grail's gems outweighed by far All other stones without a doubt. Those of the lance likewise came out And passed before the guest From one room to the next. He saw them pass and did not dare Ask whom the grail served there. Within his mind he ever bore The warning of his counsellor. Who speaks too little harms forsooth As much as he who babbles truth. Well for him if he doth learn Or ill if he but yearn And do not ask nor yet demand. The lord his esquires doth command, And towels and water now are brought, They next perform all as they ought. The lord and guest now follow form, Do wash their hands in water warm. Two esquires entering An ivory table bring, In one wide piece; they set the board A space before the...

This book was released on 2016-04 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tannhäuser and the Mountain of Venus," by Prof. Philip S. Barto, of the Carnegie Institute of Technology. It is a rather closely knit piece of work which must be read in its entirety if its logic is to be appreciated. The author advocates an entirely new conception of the story. Hitherto discussion has centered upon the questions whether the Venusberg myth and the Tannhäuser legend are independent or connected motifs and whether they are of Italian or German origin. Professor Barto takes a wider view of the question. Finding no necessary link between the two parts of the story as we now have it, he seeks an explanation further and finds his solution in the idea of a beautiful Teutonic paradise and of a divine personage who issued from it, later to return thither. In this way the myths or legends of the Grail, of the Swan Knight, of the Venus Mountain, and of Tannhäuser all become variants of the same theme. The idea of the grail-realm can be shown to have rapidly deteriorated into that of a sensual hollow-mountain paradise, and thus to have coalesced with the Venusberg. So, too, Lohengrin became Tannhäuser, sharing his fate in departing never to be seen or heard of again. In conclusion, the author finds etymological evidence for identifying the names of Tannhäuser and his predecessor Daniel with Wodan, thereby bringing the group into relationship with the myth of the Furious Host (die wilde Jagd). Professor Barto's stimulating suggestions, for which he attributes the credit in large part to his teacher, Dr. Goebel, are presented with sufficient plausibility to require serious examination. Quotations from the source-poems are given in English translation in the body of the text, the originals being confined to the notes. A valuable appendix brings together the various versions of the folk-song of Tannhäuser. The book will undoubtedly provoke much discussion. -The Nation, Vol. 104
Download or read book Curtain Gong Steam written by Gundula Kreuzer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative book, Gundula Kreuzer argues for the foundational role of technologies in the conception, production, and study of nineteenth-century opera. She shows how composers increasingly incorporated novel audiovisual effects in their works and how the uses and meanings of the required apparatuses changed through the twentieth century, sometimes still resonating in stagings, performance art, and popular culture today. Focusing on devices (which she dubs “Wagnerian technologies”) intended to amalgamate opera’s various media while veiling their mechanics, Kreuzer offers a practical counternarrative to Wagner’s idealist theories of total illusionism. At the same time, Curtain, Gong, Steam’s multifaceted exploration of the three titular technologies repositions Wagner as catalyst more than inventor in the history of operatic production. With its broad chronological and geographical scope, this book deepens our understanding of the material and mechanical conditions of historical operatic practice as well as of individual works, both well known and obscure.
Download or read book A Communication to My Friends written by Richard Wagner and published by . This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilhelm Richard Wagner (1813-1883) was a German composer, conductor, music theorist, and essayist, primarily known for his operas (later called music dramas). Wagner s musical style is often considered the epitome of classical music s Romantic period, due to its unprecedented exploration of emotional expression. He transformed musical thought through his idea of Gesamtkunstwerk (total artwork), the synthesis of all the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, epitomized by his monumental four-opera cycle The Ring of the Niebelung (1876). Wagner even went so far as to build his own opera-house to try to stage these works as he had imagined them. His literary friendship with Franz Liszt led to a long-lived correspondence later compiled in the two volumes of Corrrespondence of Wagner and Liszt (1889); a book that was attributed to both musicians. Among his other famous works are Tristan and Isolde, which broke important new musical ground, My Life (in two volumes) (1880), and The Flying Dutchman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mountain of Venus in the Tannhauser Legend: Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in German in the Graduate School of the University of Illinois, 1910 So closely is the legend of the mountain of Venus bound up with that of Tannhauser in German literature of the middle ages that mention of either brings the other at once to mind. The beautiful volkslied of Tannhauser gives us, as it were, in crys tallized form the whole story and opens to us a field broad enough for almost endless inquiry and investigation. In taking up the question of the Venusberg in the Tannhauser story, therefore, it is my purpose for the present to confine myself to a consideration of the origin of the mountain of Venus legend itself. Should I succeed in establishing a definite conclusion on this point, I shall have at least made sure of the first important step in the solution of the whole problem. The question of the Venusberg presents many intricacies and has been often considered from various points of view, but no de finite and satisfactory explanation seems yet to have been reached. If in the following discussion an unusual, and, at first sight, im probable point of view is assumed from the outset the reader is asked to reserve judgment until the whole of the tale is told.

Download or read book Wagnerism written by Alex Ross and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alex Ross, renowned New Yorker music critic and author of the international bestseller and Pulitzer Prize finalist The Rest Is Noise, reveals how Richard Wagner became the proving ground for modern art and politics—an aesthetic war zone where the Western world wrestled with its capacity for beauty and violence. For better or worse, Wagner is the most widely influential figure in the history of music. Around 1900, the phenomenon known as Wagnerism saturated European and American culture. Such colossal creations as The Ring of the Nibelung, Tristan und Isolde, and Parsifal were models of formal daring, mythmaking, erotic freedom, and mystical speculation. A mighty procession of artists, including Virginia Woolf, Thomas Mann, Paul Cézanne, Isadora Duncan, and Luis Buñuel, felt his impact. Anarchists, occultists, feminists, and gay-rights pioneers saw him as a kindred spirit. Then Adolf Hitler incorporated Wagner into the soundtrack of Nazi Germany, and the composer came to be defined by his ferocious antisemitism. For many, his name is now almost synonymous with artistic evil. In Wagnerism, Alex Ross restores the magnificent confusion of what it means to be a Wagnerian. A pandemonium of geniuses, madmen, charlatans, and prophets do battle over Wagner’s many-sided legacy. As readers of his brilliant articles for The New Yorker have come to expect, Ross ranges thrillingly across artistic disciplines, from the architecture of Louis Sullivan to the novels of Philip K. Dick, from the Zionist writings of Theodor Herzl to the civil-rights essays of W.E.B. Du Bois, from O Pioneers! to Apocalypse Now. In many ways, Wagnerism tells a tragic tale. An artist who might have rivaled Shakespeare in universal reach is undone by an ideology of hate. Still, his shadow lingers over twenty-first century culture, his mythic motifs coursing through superhero films and fantasy fiction. Neither apologia nor condemnation, Wagnerism is a work of passionate discovery, urging us toward a more honest idea of how art acts in the world.
