Richard Wagner: Siegfried (Libretto)

Wagner's sense of what he wanted to do with the Ring drama changed by the time he returned to Siegfried. When he began the Ring, he had clearly seen Siegfried as the hero of the drama, but the desire to more fully explore Wotan's predicament impelled him to expand the project.Siegfried and Mime quarrel, Siegfried demands that the sword Nothung be mended, but Mime cannot do so, much to his own chagrin ? he wants to win the Ring back for himself. The Wanderer ? a disguised Wotung tells Mime that Nothung can be forged only by one who has never known fear. This is Siegfried, and he repairs the sword himself, smashing the anvil as he leaves to reclaim the Ring. He arrives at Fafner?s lair and kills him. As he dies, Fafner warns that whoever put Siegfried up to this deed is plotting his death as well. From the The Forest Bird, Siegfried learns of the Nibelung hoard, the Tarnhelm and all-powerful Ring, and also of Brünnhilde, who sleeps on a fire-encircled rock - a bride who can be won only by a hero who knows no fear. Mime and Alberich (who had recognised the Wanderer and heeded his warning to fear Mime) quarrel over the spoils, withdrawing when Siegfried reappears carrying the Tarnhelm and the Ring. Mime tries to persuade Siegfried to take a cup of poisoned drink, and Siegfried kills him. Siegfried sets out to climb the mountain. He meets Wotan, who asks him about his exploits, but the youth splinters the Wanderer's spear with a single stroke of Nothung. Wotan, realises he is old and must go to Valhalla, but bequeaths the world to the redemptive power of Brünnhilde's love. Siegfried goes on to the top of the mountain where he discovers an armed, sleeping figure ? the first woman he has ever seen. At last sensing fear, he summons the courage to kiss her. Brünnhilde, roused from her long slumber, realises that Siegfried has come. Throwing herself into Siegfried's arms, she bids farewell to Valhalla and abandons herself to human love.This is the Schirmer edition of the Libretto in the original German with an English translation by Stewart Robb.

Autobiography For Pt2 Sc Band

Autobiography For Pt2 Sc Band

The suggestion that I write my autobiography was made at a time when anyone who did not write one risked being called eccentric. It became, and still is, a major sport among the oldsters. Some of the contemporary books are good reading indeed. One of the best of them is the result of an enormous research job, as is brought out in the introduction to the work. Imagine spending long hours and traveling many miles to find out about oneself: I am sure I would be one of the first to be utterly bored by the subject. It was not so easy, however, to dismiss the whole idea as my friends presented it. The only answer I could think of with any degree of enthusiasm was this one, written purely for whatever pleasure it could give. My own part of the pleasure is mostly in utilizing the musical language of the concert band, with its apparently inexhaustible colors and its fabulous vitality. The form (if the term has any right being here) is seven short pictures, each about two minutes long, of my own personal seven ages. The two-minute idea may be the result of the loudspeakers spread all over the hotel in Arizona where the piece was composed. There was no getting out of ear-shot of those two-minute gems - in the dining rooms, around the swimming pools, by the putting green, everywhere-but I honestly do not believe any of them crept into what I was writing. I do not believe I paid much more than passing attention to them. Part Two : IV. 1916: Mo. to N.Y. V. 1919: The Merrill Miracle VI. 1926: A Parisian in Paris VII. 1935: What Was the Question? The three of my seven ages in Part One took us to the legal end of my youth. Gathering up my unspectacular belongings, including my entire fortune of less than two hundred dollars, I swooped down on New York for no more reason than that it was New York and had a street in it called Broadway. The music borrows two or three rhythms from the era, but the only note-for-note quote is what the bugler at Camp Funston played every morning while we put on our shoes. Later, when we get to Paris, some of the cute old French tunes that everybody knows come tripping by. This is the full extent of actual musical quotes, at least conscious ones. As I laid down the pen on this I wondered how many musicians had done the same kind of autobiography, and I remembered being in London with one of the editors of Chappell and Company when Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby turned out "Three Little Words". I innocently said I wondered why that title had not been thought of before. My British friend said, "Funny you should ask that! I just looked it up in the index of songs copyrighted in the British Isles. There are fifty-three." - Robert Russell Bennett

Remembrance Day - Full Score

Remembrance Day - Full Score

'All music, be it "abstract" or "descriptive," or "popular" or "serious," must speak for itself. Words about it are irrelevant, unless they be lyrics or narration. That being said, I will attempt a few words about my piece, because I was asked to do so, and the very special nature of the event in which this first performance takes place. Therefore I offer a guide to the musical gestures and terrain that make up the work, and hopefully help communicate my music to the listener. " Remembrance Day " opens softly with a prologue evoking a distant nostalgic Lullaby. As it fades, a sudden loud chime combines with high Clarinets in an anguished sequence that cries out a musical pattern establishing and shaping the body of the work. The music alternates between elegiac thematic references and the pulsations and accents of chimes and tolling bells. A slight pause-then subdued but menacing sounds from muted Trombones, Tuba, and Percussion. Over this is a variant of the Clarinets initial "cry of anguish"- but this time in quiet grief-turning into a funeral cortege. The cortege proceeds to chants and responses that grow in intensity, changing to hymn-like swelling and embellishments. A sudden explosive interruption, brutal and violent-the previous menacing muted trombone motif now unleashed. This leads to a full-blown and affirmative chorale. Following this climax the work winds down, diminishing in intensity. There are passing references to what was heard before. Now comes a last variation on the chant, and a pianissimo echo variant in muted Trumpets and then Woodwinds of the hymns and chorales. As this recedes comes the plaintive cry of anguish again-unresolved. Once again, quiet pulsations, a short silence-and the epilogue-a few fragments of the opening lullaby-some final pulsings-a few timpani beats-silence. I am honored to have been asked to write this work, and I thank the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Foundation for making this possible. I also hope that our children's children, and their children in the next 21" Century, will live in a world of peace and compassion, wondering why we inmates of the 20th Century asylum spent most of the time destroying each other, while fervently believing in the divinity of humankind.' - Morton Gould, August 23, 1995
