Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Meistersingers, Wagner Before proceeding to outline the story of Wagner's great humorous Opera, it seems expedient to give the reader some account of the real Mastersingers the artisan poets of Germany, who had a certain affinity with, and yet were entirely different from, the troubadours of France. It is not so long since the craft became extinct. Twelve old Meistersingers held regular meetings in a little inn at Ulm as late as 1830. By 1839 the number had dwindled to four; and the quartet solemnly decided that the society of Mastersingers be disbanded for ever.6 the real meistersingers It is said that the last of these interesting survivals died in 1876.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sources and d104 of Richard Wagner's Opera Die Meistersinger We Nurnberg The later Minnesingers indulge in extravagant vagaries of both content and verse. It is a significant fact that Frauenlob, to whom the Mastersingers referred the foundation of their first School, was one those singers who played with artificial verse forms to the havoc of his subject. 1) But in the middle of the fifteenth century torpid Europe twas aroused. Through the capture of Constantinople by the Turks and the almost simultaneous invention of printing came, for Germany at least, the era of Humanism and the Reformation. 2) The imperial cities had been steadily growing in importance, and soon became the centers of all culture. Who but the honest burghers began now to flirt with the shy Muse, as they looked about for recreation after their day's labor? And although they clipped the wings of their Pegasus, and trained him to amble along in harness withal, yet they had taken him out of pound, and they cherished him fondly until he was ready for a new flight. From the fifteenth century on, the time of court-life and wandering for this poetry was past. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Wagner and the Wonder of Art written by M. Owen Lee and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-12-15 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Wagner's Die Meistersinger has always called forth superlatives from those who have fallen under its spell. Toscanini wanted to lay his baton down for the last time only after he had conducted a performance of it. Paderewski called it 'the greatest work of genius ever achieved by any artist in any field of human endeavour.' H.L. Mencken declared, 'It took more skill to plan and write it than it took to plan and write the whole canon of Shakespeare.' And yet Wagner's many-splendoured comedy has come under severe criticism in recent years for what has been called its 'dark underside,' its 'fascist brutality,' and its 'ugly anti-Semitism.' In Wagner and the Wonder of Art, renowned opera expert M. Owen Lee addresses that criticism. He also provides an introduction to the opera and an analysis that will surprise even those veteran operagoers who may not have explored the work's intricate structure and the emotional drama at its centre. The book includes the on-air commentary that Father Lee gave during the first radio broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera after the events of 9/11. He thought it necessary, after attempting to refute the charges leveled against Wagner's opera, to say something about its truthfulness, its life-affirming music, its insight into the madness that can destroy human lives, and its witness to the importance of art for the survival of our civilizations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner and His Works, Vol. 2: The Story of His Life, With Critical Comments Punch, after all, was right in referring to the "music of the future" as "promissory notes." These notes were not to be redeemable in gold till many years later, and Wagner, realizing this, left London precipitately the very next morning after his last concert. From Paris he wrote to Praeger, expressing his delight on having got back to the Continent, and his hope of being able soon to resume composition, "the only enjoyment in life still left to me." He had not forgotten his wife, but succeeded in smuggling some fine laces for her through the Paris custom-house. A week later he writes from Zurich, chiding Praeger in his playful way for not giving him the important London news; to wit: - "You might at least have written to say you were glad to have got rid of me, how sister Leonie fares, and how Henry is, whether Gypsy [Praeger's dog] has made his appearance in society, whether the cat has still its bad cough. Heaven! how many things there are of which I ought to be informed in order to he at ease! As for me, I am still idle. My wife has made me a new dressing-gown, and what is more, wonderfully fine silk trousers for home wear, so that all the work I do is to loll about in this costume, first on one sofa and then on another."

Download or read book Die Meistersinger Von N rnberg written by Richard Wagner and published by Calder Publications Limited. This book was released on 1983 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English National Opera Guides were originally conceived in partnership with the English National Opera and edited by Nicholas John, the ENO's dramaturg, who died tragically in an accident in the Alps. Most of the guides are devoted to a single opera, which is described in detail--with many articles that cover its history and information about the composer and his times. The complete libretto is included in both the original language and in a modern singing translation--except where the opera was written in English. Each has a thematic guide to the most important musical themes in musical notation and each guide is lavishly illustrated. They also contain a bibliography and a discography which is updated at each reprint. The ENO guides are widely regarded as the best series of their kind and excellent value. Die Meistersinger was enthusiastically received at its premiere in 1868, and was judged to be Wagner's most immediately appealing work. Eduard Hanslick wrote after the premiere: "Dazzling scenes of colour and splendour, ensembles full of life and character unfold before the spectator's eyes, hardly allowing him the leisure to weigh how much and how little of these effects is of musical origin."

Excerpt: ... alle jar auf sanct thomas tag oder die nechst schuel darfor sol man die Festlider verhoren und die fest singer verornern (verordnen) wie solen singen." This was evidently to prepare for a festival on St. John Evangelist's Day (December 27). According to Schnorr von Carolsf eld 4) there was a festal gathering of the Mastersingers at Wohrd, a suburb of Nuremberg, on the Feast of Trinity. Now Wagner has either mistaken the festival of St. John Evangelist for that of St. John Baptist (June 24) or has arbitrarily changed the festival of Trinity to that of St. John. His reasons for choosing this spring-day, so beautifully celebrated in southern Germany, are obvious. 1) Wagenseil, 546. 2) Uhland: Schriften," II, 297.; 3) Genee, 4i2. 4) Mey, 44, Ranisch, 28, says that the Nuremberg Mastersingers had a festival a week after Pentecostal Sunday at Wohrd--but this was because the expenses of meeting in the church were too great. Wagner has also arbitrarily assumed that there were two Critic's Seats (Gemerke), a smaller and a larger, the first to be used at the Open Singing, the second in the Singing-school (VII, 164). This is a gratuitous invention of his, as is also the marking of the song by Beckmesser as the only critic, instead of the customary three or four. This latter device was however necessary, since only Walther's rival would have criticized his song so severely. Poor Walther is marked, too, according to rules that he has never heard, for from the Leges Tabulaturas have been read to him only the introductory part, and David's glib enumeration of errors contains no real information. There is a curious slip in Hans Sachs' speech immediately after his reception by the apprentices and people in the third act. Sachs informs...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Master-Singers of Nuremberg (Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg): A Dramatic Poem The real Master-singers were interesting. These artisan-poets of Germany were some what different from the Minnesingers, who were more akin to the troubadours of France. The Master-singers were in a certain sense the outcome of the Minnesingers of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The Minnesingers were mostly of noble birth, and lived in kings' courts or wandered from castle to castle in 'the age of chivalry and the Crusades. Heinrich von Meissen, surnamed Frauenlobe, was a Min nesinger who was generally regarded as the founder of the schools and guilds of the Mas ter-singers. The Master-singers belonged to the burgher and artisan class. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
