Franz Lehar Operetta The Merry Widow

Classical Music Datebook: December 30 

 Lehar's "The Merry Widow" premiered December 30, 1905, in Vienna, Austria.


The Merry Widow (Die lustige Witwe) is an operetta, a romantic musical comedy by Austro-Hungarian composer Franz Lehar. The librettists, Victor Leon and Leo Stein,  based the story about a rich widow, Hanna Glawari, and her attempt to find a husband, on an 1861 comedy play, L'attache d'ambassade (The Ambassador's Attache) by Henri Meilhac.

It was first performed at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna on 30 December 1905 and had several very successful productions in Austria and Germany. In its English adaptation by Basil Hood, with lyrics by Adrian Ross, the show became a sensation in London in 1907 and opened a few months later on Broadway for a very successful run. Thereafter, it was played frequently in America and throughout the English speaking world.
 
Operetta in three acts with libretto by Viktor Léon and Leo Stein at the Semperoper Dresden.

Bon-Bons or Crackers for Christmas

Celebrating Christmas

 
Christmas crackers or bon-bons are a part Christmas celebrations in the UK and Commonwealth countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. They are also popular in Ireland. A cracker consists of a cardboard tube wrapped in a brightly decorated twist of paper, making it resemble an oversized sweet-wrapper.

How it is used for Christmas is like the way it's done with a wishbone. The cracker is pulled by two people. The cracker splits unevenly. The split is accompanied by a small bang produced by the effect of friction on a chemically impregnated card strip.

Of Human Bondage by W.S. Maugham

"It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it;" ~ Maugham

W. Somerset Maugham was an English novelist, playwright and short story writer famous for his novel, Of Human Bondage. The book is said to be based on his own life. It was made into a movie and became equally popular at the time starring Leslie Howard (Gone with the Wind fame) and Bette Davis.

The book provokes. As demonstrated in his writings, faithful love has no place. And then again, it can be attributed to the writer's tormented emotional life, from his unhappy childhood and perhaps even unhappier adult existence. Maugham often wrote satire and humour, but he told his stories well that endeared him to his readers.

Franz Krommer

Mozart Contemporaries: Franz Krommer
 


Franz Krommer (František Krommer: born 27 November 1759 – died 8 January 1831), was a Czech composer of classical music and violinist. A contemporary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, his 71-year life span began half a year after the death of G. F. Handel and ended nearly four years after that of Beethoven. He died in Vienna.

His life highlights include the following:  From 1773 to 1776, he studied violin and organ with his uncle, Antonín Mattias Kramár. In Turany, he became organist along with his uncle in 1777. In 1785 he was in Vienna as violinist in the orchestra of the duke of Styria (now in Simontornya in Hungary.) In 1790, he  was named Maestro di Cappella at the Cathedral of Pecs, Hungary.  He returned again to Vienna in 1795, becoming Maestro di Cappella for Duke Ignaz Fuchs in 1798. From 1813, until his death, Krommer succeeded Leopold Kozeluch as composer for the Imperial Court of Austria.




Krommer's output was prolific, with at least three hundred published compositions in at least 110 opus numbers including at least 9 symphonies, seventy string quartets and many others for winds and strings, with about 15 string quintets. Today, he is best known for his powerful wind ensemble music.

Arvo Pärt Spiegel im Spiegel

Classical Music / Minimal Music

Spiegel im Spiegel ('Mirror in the Mirror') is a piece of music written by Arvo Pärt in 1978, just before his departure from Estonia. Simply, the piece is in the tintinnabular style of composition, wherein a melodic voice, operating over diatonac scales, and tintinnabular voice, operating within a triad on the tonic, accompany each other. It is about ten minutes long.

Arvo Pärt (pronounced: 'Arvo Pært') is born on September 11, 1935. He is an Estonian composer of  classical and sacred music. Since the late 1970s,  Pärt has worked in a minimalist style that employs his self-invented compositional technique, 'tintinnabuli.'  His music is in part inspired by Gregorian chant. One of his most famous works include Spiegel im Spiegel (1978).

Suggested Listening:

Spiegel im Spiegel, performed by Sally Maer (Cellist) and Sally Whitwell (Pianist). Accessed September 11, 2011 



Here's another interpretation.  Spiegel im Spiegel for Cello and Piano (Arvo Pärt) Youtube, uploaded by Leonhard Roczek. Accessed September 11, 2011.



Spiegel im Spiegel was originally written for a single piano and violin – though the violin has often been replaced with either a cello or a viola. The piece is an example of minimal music. It's in F major in 6/4 time, with the piano playing rising crochet triads and the second instrument playing slow F major scales, alternately rising and falling, of increasing length, which all end on the note A (the mediant of F). The piano's left hand also plays notes, synchronized with the violin (or other instrument).

In German, "Spiegel im Spiegel" can literally mean both "mirror in the mirror" as well as "mirrors in the mirror", referring to an infinity mirror, which produces an infinity of images reflected by parallel plane mirrors: the tonic triads are endlessly repeated with small variations as if reflected back and forth. The structure of melody is made by couple of phrases characterized by the alternation between ascending and descending movement with the fulcrum on the note A. This, with also the overturning of the final intervals between adjacent phrases, contribute to give the impression of a figure reflecting on a mirror and walking back and towards it.
