Download or read book The Wagner Operas written by Ernest Newman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1991-10-13 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic guide, the foremost Wagner expert of our century discusses ten of Wagner's most beloved operas, illuminates their key themes and the myths and literary sources behind the librettos, and demonstrates how the composer's style changed from work to work. Acclaimed as the most complete and intellectually satisfying analysis of the Wagner operas, the book has met with unreserved enthusiasm from specialist and casual music lover alike. Here, available for the first time in a single paperback volume, is the perfect companion for listening to, or attending, The Flying Dutchman, Tannhäuser, Lohengrin, Tristan and Isolde, Die Meistersinger, the four operas of the Ring Cycle, and Parsifal. Newman enriches his treatment of the stories, texts, and music of the operas with biographical and historical materials from the store of knowledge that he acquired while completing his numerous books on Wagner, including the magisterial Life of Richard Wagner. The text of The Wagner Operas is filled with hundreds of musical examples from the scores, and all the important leitmotifs and their interrelationships are made clear in Newman's lucid prose. "This is as fine an introduction as any ever written about a major composer's masterpieces. Newman outlines with unfailing clarity and astuteness each opera's dramatic sources, and he takes the student through the completed opera, step by step, with all manner of incidental insight along the way."--Robert Bailey, New York University
Download or read book After Wagner written by Mark Berry and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2014 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is both a telling of operatic histories 'after' Richard Wagner, and a philosophical reflection upon the writing of those histories. Historical musicology reckons with intellectual and cultural history, and vice versa. The 'after' of the title denotes chronology, but also harmony and antagonism within a Wagnerian tradition. Parsifal, in which Wagner attempted to go beyond his achievement in the Ring, to write 'after' himself, is followed by two apparent antipodes: the strenuously modernist Arnold Schoenberg and the stheticist Richard Strauss. Discussion of Strauss's Capriccio, partly in the light of Schoenberg's Moses und Aron, reveals a more 'political' work than either first acquaintance or the composer's 'intention' might suggest. Then come three composers from subsequent generations: Luigi Dallapiccola, Luigi Nono, and Hans Werner Henze. Geographical context is extended to take in Wagner's Italian successors; the problem of political emancipation in and through music drama takes another turn here, confronting challenges and opportunities in more avowedly 'politically engaged' art. A final section explores the world of staging opera, of so-called Regietheater, as initiated by Wagner himself. Stefan Herheim's celebrated Bayreuth production of Parsifal, and various performances of Lohengrin are discussed, before looking back to Mozart (Don Giovanni) and forward to Alban Berg's Lulu and Nono's Al gran sole carico d'amore. Throughout, the book invites us to consider how we might perceive the sthetic and political integrity of the operatic work 'after Wagner'. After Wagner will be invaluable to anyone interested in twentieth-century music drama and its intersection with politics and cultural history. It will also appeal to those interested in Richard Wagner's cultural impact on succeeding generations of composers. MARK BERRY is Senior Lecturer in Music at Royal Holloway, University of London.

PRELUDE: THE RHINE GOLD THE Rhine Gold is not a drama et all in any recognized sense of the word, nor can its effect be suggested in the form of a narrative. It is a great hypnotic preparation for the mythological drama of the Niebelung's Ring, which takes place in a region so remote from ordinary human affairs and emotions that between it and the everyday life of the world some shadowy curtain of sound and color has to be interposed. He who takes his place at the performance of this Prelude ought to resign his own ideas and will as completely as the patient who submits himself to the anaesthetist; and as the fumes of the anaesthetic gradually creep into the chambers of the brain, occupying them, transforming them, cutting off communication between them and the conscious will, so the deep music of the Prelude floats into the senses and gradually overpowers them. In the hypnotic trance of imagination into which this music throws us four scenes are revealed--none of them of this earth or world as it is known to mortals, and each, as it succeeds the other, melting out of it almost imperceptibly. Once in the submarine twilight of a river-bed, once in a world of giants and magic castles, once in the depths of the earth, and once amid clouds and the rainbow roads of the sky the fantastic scenery of this Prelude takes shape; and when the trance is over and we return to consciousness and vision of normal things, we have been placed in possession of the fundamental principles from which the trilogy of the Niebelung's Ring is evolved. I Out of silence rose a note of sound, a bourdon deep and continuous, generating a wave of tone that hummed and vibrated like the pulse of the world itself, and gradually enlarged its waves until it became a vast harmonic chord still co...
