Concerts On Ljustero, Hugo Theorell

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

My acquaintance with Jussi Bjorling was so sporadic that it hardly entitles me to contribute to this memorial book. It was confined to a small sphere of activity- our mutual interest in giving concerts from time to time in order to lend a band with the well-intentioned community work carried out by the population of that part of the Stockholm archipelago where we both spent so many delightful summers. But Jussi did not remain just an acquaintance to anyone -his unaffected, genial nature made him immediately a friend.

With Jussi In Private Life, Teddy Nyblom

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

The Royal Court Singer. the people's singer, the master singer and the internationally renowned tenor - Jussi Bjorling has been praised in all manner of superlatives. Of his grandly evident Swedishness and sincere love for his country, many have spoken in the most glowing terms. Allow me now, after all these justified plaudits, to take a look at Jussi "in his shirt-sleeves" and relate a little of what he was like in everyday life.

The Voice Of Velvet, Sven Salen

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Jussi Bjorling-during the last few decades that name has flown out on wings of song over the whole world: an ambassador of vocal musk from the little country far up in the north on the Arctic Circle; a singer who could sing with ltalianate passion but also with a northerner's control. This must have been a spoilt individual, a true prima donna. What was he really like?

My Obsession With Opera And The Voice Of Jussi Bjorling, Andrew S. Pope

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

The first time I heard the voice of Bjorling was on a Bell Telephone Hour, as a teen. I tuned in late on my old 1942 Sears Silvertone radio with the "magic eye.· Bjorling was in the middle of "Sylvia," I thought his the most beautiful tenor voice I had ever heard. That really got me excited and shortly afterwards I acquired an RCA Victor catalog. It was huge and had a good "Red Seal" section where I could read about the "'golden age" voice of Jussi Bjorling.

The recorded voice of Jussi Bjorling (without which this is neither possible nor necessary) shimmers as I split the hairs of small emotions.

Bass Mark Elyn Remembers Jussi, Dan Shea

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

One or our long-time JBS members is Mark Elyn, who in his mid-twenties as a bass at the start of his career sang with Jussi in a 1956 Detroit Rigoletta, and then during 1958 in performances of Trovatore, Don Carlo, and Rigoletto in San Francisco, Sacramento and Los-Angeles. He observed Jussi closely in rehearsals and performances and has much to tell about those experiences.

Thrill Of A Lifetime-Meeting Jussi Backstage At Lyric Opera In 1957

The King With The Vīṇā Flag – Perspectives Of Rāvaṇa In Film, Achintya Prahlad

Journal of Religion & Film

Rāvaṇa, the ten-headed Rākṣasa (‘demon’) king of the epic the Rāmāyaṇa, is the most fascinating of all the antagonists in films based on Hindu mythology, so powerful that even the Sun cannot rise without his orders, and celebrated as an unparalleled musician-scholar and great devotee of the god Śiva. His passion for the vīṇā, a string instrument with divine associations, is so great that this instrument adorns his royal flag as its emblem. His consciousness of his supreme powers and great knowledge soon gives way to ahaṅkāra (hubris) and lust, which leads to his eventual downfall and death at the …

Pandemic Music: Developing Music Compositions For Performance During Covid-19, Maia R. Denzler

University Honors Theses

The Covid-19 pandemic posed an interesting challenge for performing artists: How does one continue to make art and perform while maintaining performer and audience safety? As a music student preparing for my Junior Music Composition Recital, the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic forced me to reevaluate the direction and nature of the music I was writing. This led to the composition of three new works which were specifically written to be performed while adhering to social distancing and mask requirements. The three Meditations for Woodwind and Electronics explore themes of nature and were pre-recorded to maximize safety. Des-C-H-Ut-Es (Deschutes) is a …

An Application Of Natural Learning Processes In The Preparation Of Edward Gregson's Trumpet Concerto, James Jenkins

Doctoral Projects

Concerto for Trumpet and Strings by Edward Gregson is a substantial work of the late twentieth century underperformed among trumpet players. The primary reasons for its relative neglect are its technical challenges and the demands of endurance it places on the player. A well-designed approach to the preparation of this work will benefit students and professional players wishing to prepare for a performance of the work. This project will combine the knowledge of researchers and teachers in formulating specific practice approaches for the concerto’s challenges.

The findings of neuroscientists and psychologists, gained through testing and measurement, will be consulted along …

Pedagogical Solo Piano Nocturnes: A Progressive Leveling With Annotations On Stylistic, Technical, And Musical Challenges And Benefits, Michaela Anne Boros

Theses and Dissertations

Nocturnes have remained in the standard piano literature for over two hundred years.

The purpose of this study is to provide a current, comprehensive, didactic resource on Romantic-style pedagogical piano nocturne literature from early elementary to early advanced levels, to aid teachers in the education of their students.

This study comprises four chapters, a bibliography, and two appendices. Chapter 1 consists of an introduction, purpose of the study, need for the …

Quantitative Data Collection On The Fundamental Components Of Saxophone Tone Production, Matthew Troy Castner

Theses and Dissertations

Wind instrument pedagogy has historically been limited by the inability to collect quantitative data on the relationships and impact of different elements of tone production. This study collected and analyzed data on three of the fundamental components of saxophone tone production: embouchure pressure, air velocity, and air direction. The results help build a better understanding of the inner workings of producing a characteristic saxophone sound.

Six classical alto saxophone players completed a variety of exercises to isolate and measure each of these components. The data was collected using a force-sensitive resistor and a pitot tube, each connected to an Arduino …

An Annotated Bibliography Of Flute Repertoire By Iranian Female Composers, Roya Farzaneh

Theses and Dissertations

Compositions by Iranian female composers have rarely been explored or documented. The purpose of this research is to create an annotated bibliography of works by Iranian female composers written for flute. This document will serve as a reference of flute literature for scholars, teachers, and performers to encourage the performance of music composed by Iranian women. Through this research, I hope to increase the exposure of these compositions and amplify interest in performing works written by underrepresented composers.

The annotated bibliography lists information about the repertoire including instrumentation, compositional year, length of piece, publishing, available recordings, commission information, a pedagogical …

A Conductor’S Guide To J. N. Hummel’S Forgotten Oratorio: Der Durchzug Durchs Rote Meer, Rebecca J. Ostermann

Theses and Dissertations

Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s only oratorio, Der Durchzug durchs rote Meer, was lost to the musical world until around 2004. Hummel (1778–1837) was greatly esteemed during his life as a concert pianist and as a composer, and several of his choral works were among those highly regarded by his contemporaries. Interest in his works, along with Hummel scholarship, has increased in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Hummel’s oratorio is for Classical orchestra plus guitar, harp, and bass drum, four to ten vocal soli, and chorus. Its thirteen numbers run about 51 minutes, recounting the biblical story of Moses and Pharaoh, the …

Theses and Dissertations

The goal of this investigation is to focus on the career and times of Adele aus der Ohe and piano performance in the Gilded Age United States.

Focus on Adele aus der Ohe allows further understanding of her legacy and contribution to …
