Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde su publicación en 1605 y 1615, El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha por Miguel Cervantes ha sido una fuente de inspiración importantísima para la música clásica europea fuera de España. En esta tesis exploraré esta inspiracion usando tres preguntas: ¿Por qué hay tantas obras musicales sobre Don Quijote? ¿Cuál aspecto de la novela le hace bien para poner a música? ¿Qué ha sido la importancia de estas obras en la historia de la música clásica europea? Quisiera explorar estas preguntas desde una perspectiva histórica y social dividida por país. Aunque hay muchas obras musicales inspiradas por Don Quijote que vienen de España, solamente exploraré las obras inspiradas por la novela que vienen fuera de su país de origen. La historia de las obras musicales españoles inspiradas por la novela (y la música clásica española en general) es muy distinta a la de las otras países y regiones europeos y merece su propia análisis. La mayoría de las obras escritas sobre la novela vienen de Francia, Inglaterra, Italia, y la region que ahora incluye Alemania y Austria. La musica de cada región europea tiene su propio sonido y lenguaje musical. Dividir la tesis por región me permitirá investigar las semejanzas y diferencias entre obras escritas por compositores de la misma nacionalidad. Entonces podrá encontrar tendencias musicales dentro de y entre diferentes países. Investigarlas me dará pistas sobre la importancia de Don Quijote para cada compositor y su auditorio. Donde es posible (porque la mayoría de las obras nunca fueron grabadas o han sido perdidas), analizaré mítodos de composición de diferentes compositores, tropos que usaron para contar la historia, y temas comunes en las óperas y composiciones instrumentales de cada país y región. La mayoría de los libretos de las óperas inspiradas por la novela hubieran requerido un viaje Europa y un buen entendimiento de italiano, alemán, y francés para leer. Entonces, usé el libro Don Quixote's Sally into the World of Opera por Bárbara Esquival-Heinemann, que tiene sumarios y análisis de las tramas de muchas de las óperas inspiradas por la novela. Sin embargo, para las óperas que han sido grabadas, podía hacer mi propio análisis. Para cada región, exploraré las maneras en que compositores evocaron la novela en sus obras y buscaré semejanzas y evoluciones musicales entre diferentes obras. También examino el contenido de las obras. Cada país prefirió aspectos diferentes de la novela en la música, y estos aspectos cambiaban frecuentemente durante los siglos. Los aspectos de la novela que aparecen en la música reflejan tendencias más amplias de la sociedad general del país. Finalmente exploraré los géneros y subgéneros de la música inspirada por la novela en cada país. La gran mayoría de las obras sobre Don Quijote son óperas y exploraré por qué este es el caso. Argüiré que la interpretación musical de Don Quijote en cada pais refleja la interpretación de la novela en la literatura, la filosofía, y el teatro del pais. Cada generación vio algo diferente en la novela y la manifestación de diferentes interpretaciones en la música revela ciertas características de la sociedad que la produjo. La falta de popularidad de la novela entre ciertas generaciones revela caracteristicas de la sociedad, también. Cada generación que encontraba la novela y la usó para inspirar su música, a pesar de su interpretación, encontró algo esencial en la obra de Cervantes que resonaba con ellos. Argüiré que la popularidad de Don Quijote en la música es a causa de su habilidad de caber en los valores de muchas diferentes sociedades y tiempos, que le deja cada generación que lee la novela encontrar algo dentro de la novela con la cual se pueda identificar.
Download or read book Classics in Extremis written by Edmund Richardson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classics in Extremis reimagines classical reception. Its contributors explore some of the most remarkable, hard-fought and unsettling claims ever made on the ancient world: from the coal-mines of England to the paradoxes of Borges, from Victorian sexuality to the trenches of the First World War, from American public-school classrooms to contemporary right-wing politics. How does the reception of the ancient world change under impossible strain? Its protagonists are 'marginal' figures who resisted that definition in the strongest terms. Contributors argue for a decentered model of classical reception: where the 'marginal' shapes the 'central' as much as vice versa – and where the most unlikely appropriations of antiquity often have the greatest impact. What kind of distortions does the model of 'centre' and 'margins' produce? How can 'marginal' receptions be recovered most effectively? Bringing together some of the leading scholars in the field, Classics in Extremis moves beyond individual case studies to develop fresh methodologies and perspectives on the study of classical reception.

Download or read book The Dialectics of Orientalism in Early Modern Europe written by Marcus Keller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uniting twelve original studies by scholars of early modern history, literature, and the arts, this collection is the first that foregrounds the dialectical quality of early modern Orientalism by taking a broad interdisciplinary perspective. Dialectics of Orientalism demonstrates how texts and images of the sixteenth and seventeenth century from across Europe and the New World are better understood as part of a dynamic and transformative orientalist discourse rather than a manifestation of the supposed dichotomy between the 'East' and the 'West.' The volume's central claim is that early modern orientalist discourses are fundamentally open, self-critical, and creative. Analyzing a varied corpus-from German and Dutch travelogues to Spanish humanist treaties, French essays, Flemish paintings, and English diaries-this collection thus breathes fresh air into the critique of Orientalism and provides productive new perspectives for the study of east-west and indeed globalized exchanges in the early modern world.

Download or read book Homer Hesiod written by Homer and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iliad and the Odyssey, along with the two poems of Hesiod, Theogony and Works and Days, comprised the major foundations of the Greek literary tradition that would continue into the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. The Iliad is set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy by a coalition of Greek kingdoms. It focuses on a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles lasting a few weeks during the last year of the war. The Odyssey focuses on the ten-year journey home of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, after the fall of Troy. The Theogony is commonly considered Hesiod's earliest work. It concerns the origins of the world (cosmogony) and of the gods (theogony), beginning with Chaos, Gaia, Tartarus and Eros, and shows a special interest in genealogy. The Works and Days is a poem of over 800 lines which revolves around two general truths: labour is the universal lot of Man, but he who is willing to work will get by.

Download or read book Before Orientalism written by Kim M. Phillips and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinct European perspective on Asia emerged in the late Middle Ages. Early reports of a homogeneous "India" of marvels and monsters gave way to accounts written by medieval travelers that indulged readers' curiosity about far-flung landscapes and cultures without exhibiting the attitudes evident in the later writings of aspiring imperialists. Mining the accounts of more than twenty Europeans who made—or claimed to have made—journeys to Mongolia, China, India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia between the mid-thirteenth and early sixteenth centuries, Kim Phillips reconstructs a medieval European vision of Asia that was by turns critical, neutral, and admiring. In offering a cultural history of the encounter between medieval Latin Christians and the distant East, Before Orientalism reveals how Europeans' prevailing preoccupations with food and eating habits, gender roles, sexualities, civility, and the foreign body helped shape their perceptions of Asian peoples and societies. Phillips gives particular attention to the texts' known or likely audiences, the cultural settings within which they found a foothold, and the broader impact of their descriptions, while also considering the motivations of their writers. She reveals in rich detail responses from European travelers that ranged from pragmatism to wonder. Fear of military might, admiration for high standards of civic life and court culture, and even delight in foreign magnificence rarely assumed the kind of secular Eurocentric superiority that would later characterize Orientalism. Placing medieval writing on the East in the context of an emergent "Europe" whose explorers sought to learn more than to rule, Before Orientalism complicates our understanding of medieval attitudes toward the foreign.
