Download or read book Vocal Victories written by Nila Parly and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vocal Victories is the first musicological comparison of all of Richard Wagner's great female characters, from Senta in The Flying Dutchman to Kundry in Parsifal. It has long been customary to view these and other opera heroines as victims, because these women, as a rule, perish during the plot of the opera. A closer study of the music of the women - their singing and the orchestral voices that surround them - reveals, however, that it is in the female characters that the new and groundbreaking musical material comes into being, and that the women are far more in command of the development of the works. Vocal Victories claims that Wagner was far ahead of his time in terms of equality between the sexes, and the musicological analyses are supported by quotations from the composer's own writings, so that a picture of Wagner as a radical critic of the oppressive patriarchal society emerges clearly and unmistakably. The feminist approach to the material also provides an opportunity for new

Download or read book Inside the Ring written by John Louis DiGaetani and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-03-14 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once tainted by association with Hitler and Nazism, Richard Wagner's work has experienced an international cultural renaissance in the last 25 years. His magnum opus, Der Ring des Nibelungen, which took him over 20 years to finish, is a complex tale with themes of greed, corruption and loss, spun out in more than 16 hours of powerfully moving opera. This book, with provocative essays for both the uninitiated and the seasoned fan, examines Wagner's Ring cycle from a wide array of modern perspectives. Divided into six parts, this anthology first offers a foundation for the Ring, with a chronology and an introduction, along with a look at Wagner as an enterprising marketer. Part Two explores different interpretations of the Ring, with reference to politics, romanticism and international inspirations. Part Three studies the complex relationship between Wagner's Ring and Germany, with a summary of the opera's influence on German culture and a discussion of its Munich premiere. Part Four offers a production history, including studies of the Ring's effects in America and its influence on world literature. Part Five provides a technical examination of language in the Ring, as well as an interview with the famous Wagnerian soprano Jane Eaglen. The book concludes with an essay on the trouble with Wagnerian opera and an overview of the recorded Ring on disc, video and print.

Download or read book Richard Wagner written by John Louis DiGaetani and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new biography of the German composer Richard Wagner, 200 years after his birth, re-examining his life in light of new documents and new sensibilities. Since World War II Wagner has often been wrongly associated with Adolf Hitler because Hitler liked Wagner's music and used it in Nazi propaganda. But Wagner died in 1883--fifty years before Hitler's regime. It is time to have a fresh look at Wagner's life without the Nazi associations. His life was a series of abandonments and traumas for the self-destructive but creative genius, as he tried to survive as a freelance composer in the hostile environments of 19th century Germany.
Download or read book Cosima Wagner written by Oliver Hilmes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this meticulously researched book, Oliver Hilmes paints a fascinating and revealing picture of the extraordinary Cosima Wagner—illegitimate daughter of Franz Liszt, wife of the conductor Hans von Bülow, then mistress and subsequently wife of Richard Wagner. After Wagner’s death in 1883 Cosima played a crucial role in the promulgation and politicization of his works, assuming control of the Bayreuth Festival and transforming it into a shrine to German nationalism. The High Priestess of the Wagnerian cult, Cosima lived on for almost fifty years, crafting the image of Richard Wagner through her organizational ability and ideological tenacity.The first book to make use of the available documentation at Bayreuth, this biography explores the achievements of this remarkable and obsessive woman while illuminating a still-hidden chapter of European cultural history.
Download or read book Tristan and Isolda Opera in Three Acts written by Richard Wagner and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-08-12 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Wagner's 'Tristan and Isolda: Opera in Three Acts' is a seminal work in the opera genre, known for its lush orchestration and innovative use of leitmotifs. The tragic love story of Tristan and Isolde is brought to life through Wagner's rich and complex music, creating a narrative of passion and betrayal that has captivated audiences for generations. The opera's innovative harmonic language and use of recurring musical themes have had a lasting impact on the development of 19th-century music. Richard Wagner, a controversial figure in music history, drew inspiration for 'Tristan and Isolda' from medieval legends and his own tumultuous personal life. His unique approach to opera, which he called Gesamtkunstwerk, sought to integrate music, drama, and staging into a unified work of art. Wagner's revolutionary ideas continue to influence composers and artists to this day. I highly recommend 'Tristan and Isolda' to readers interested in the intersection of music and drama, as well as those looking to explore the work of one of the most influential composers in Western music history. Wagner's opera is a masterpiece that rewards deep listening and thoughtful reflection.
