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.

Book excerpt: An excerpt from Chapter V. Music and Story - Side by Side: THE prelude to Lohengrin built up from a single beautiful motive which is admirably worked out, and which symbolises the return of the Holy Grail, escorted by a band of celestial beings, to the mysterious castle of Montsalvat, the mountain where it is guarded by faithful knights, pure and devout. This impressive melody, radiant with its suggestions of the supernatural, gives us a glimpse, as it were, of what Parsifal was to be. It reveals how Wagner built up, out of his wealth of ideas, his own particular method of expressing them. It is sufficient merely to hint at this making of a language, rather than to trace each analogy in separate works. First given to the violins, in the highest register, and divided among sets of four instruments, this motive drifts into the wood-wind, and is then taken up by the violas and violoncellos, passes through the horns, and finally swells gloriously and triumphantly in the brass. Like the blaze of a summer sunset, it dies away gradually and mysteriously, and ends in a whisper of the muted strings. Under a spreading oak, surrounded by the King's Ban, the Lords of Saxony and Thuringia, sits Heinrich the Fowler, the King of Germany. On the left, headed by Frederick of Telramund, are grouped the nobles and the people of Brabant. At the extreme corner stands Ortrud, daughter of the Frisian King, Frederick's wife and evil genius. In the background is the open country through which, by tortuous windings, the river Scheldt finds its way to the sea. Escorted by four trumpeters sounding the King's call, the King's Herald advances, and demands the fealty of the assembly. The King then describes the situation to his subjects. He tells them of the bitter strife with Hungary, and how he has obtained a long truce for the purpose of making strong his boundaries and disciplining his forces. The nine years have expired, and a final and conclusive blow will have to be struck at the invaders and disturbers of the peace. He then asks why internal quarrels in Brabant are menacing the unity of his empire, and why there is no prince to rule the country; and commands Frederick to give him a plain statement of affairs. This fine recitative on the part of the King is broken, in places, by the replies of the chorus.

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.

Book excerpt: English National Opera Guides are ideal companions to the opera. They provide stimulating introductory articles together with the complete text of each opera in English and the original. The legend of the Swan Knight who rescues a princess from the forces of pagan evil is one Christian Europe s foundation myths." Lohengrin" transformed Wagner into an international figure almost overnight, and it remained his most popular work throughout the nineteenth century. Thomas Grey proposes that this was because it offered a "cautious taste" of his later works, while preserving some of the familiar traditions of French grand opera. John Deathridge asks why Wagner denied its Christian symbolism, and Janet Nelson argues that his vision of the Christian Middle Ages prefigured a modern historical approach. This English translation is by Amanda Holden."

Download or read book Medievalism and Nationalism in German Opera written by Michael S. Richardson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medievalism, or the reception or interpretation of the Middle Ages, was a prominent aesthetic for German opera composers in the first half of the nineteenth century. A healthy competition to establish a Germanic operatic repertory arose at this time, and fascination with medieval times served a critical role in shaping the desire for a unified national and cultural identity. Using operas by Weber, Schubert, Marshner, Wagner, and Schumann as case studies, Richardson investigates what historical information was available to German composers in their recreations of medieval music, and whether or not such information had any demonstrable effect on their compositions. The significant role that nationalism played in the choice of medieval subject matter for opera is also examined, along with how audiences and critics responded to the medieval milieu of these works. In this book, readers will gain a clear understanding of the rise of German opera in the early nineteenth century and the cultural and historical context in which this occurred. This book will also provide insight on the reception of medieval history and medieval music in nineteenth-century Germany, and will demonstrate how medievalism and nationalism were mutually reinforcing phenomena at this time and place in history.
