As much as Hensel has finally moved out from behind the shadow of her more famous brother, however, and as much as we now know about her life, there is one aspect of this astonishing composer that still remains understudied: her music. This book focuses on Hensel’s contributions to the genre of song, the art form that she said “suits her best,” where her gifts as a composer are especially evident. Its twelve chapters consider such topics as Hensel’s fascination with certain poets and poetic themes; her innovative harmonic, melodic, rhythmic, and textual strategies; her connection to larger literary and musical trends; her efforts to break free the constraints placed on her as a woman; and her place in the history of nineteenth-century Lieder. No matter their particular topics of inquiry, the authors are guided by the conviction that the best way to honor Hensel’s achievements as a composer and to appreciate her historical importance is to thoroughly examine what she wrote within its many diverse contexts, be they biographical, historical, cultural, or musical.","PeriodicalId":42616,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MUSICOLOGICAL RESEARCH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79414477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the reasons for this was the popularity of the fantasia suite, which remained in circulation both inside and outside the court. The absorption of the Italian sonata in England was a gradual process, but it eventually came to occupy a prominent position within English musical life after Corelli’s music arrived at the turn of the century, nearly sweeping away any kind of English instrumental music. Nevertheless, when and how the sonata was introduced into England is still not fully understood. An examination of two particular early trio sonatas written in England can help to understand how the Italian sonata was introduced in England and the extent of its influence on early English sonatas in the latter part of the seventeenth century.","PeriodicalId":42616,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MUSICOLOGICAL RESEARCH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88402072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Archival research reveals that Said actually proposes a heterophonic, instead of contrapuntal, perspective in early drafts for Culture and Imperialism (1993). Said’s legacy itself requires a heterophonic reading to analyze the overlap and interactions of these variations in his writings.","PeriodicalId":42616,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MUSICOLOGICAL RESEARCH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78944828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the Absence of Feminine Agency in Contemporary Productions of the Original Boris Godunov","authors":"Francis Maes","doi":"10.1080/01411896.2020.1787794","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01411896.2020.1787794","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT The rejection of Boris Godunov for the lack of a female part led Modest Musorgskii to revise the opera to include the historical character of Marina Mniszech. The resulting “Polish” Act has been received with mixed feelings. Bias against it is one of the reasons behind the contemporary surge of interest in the original 1869 version of the opera, as testified to by productions at the Mariiinski Theater, the Bavarian State Opera, the Royal Opera House, and the Paris Opéra. The return to the original Boris has a side effect, however, which is precisely the one the selection committee of the Imperial Theaters warned against: it represents a world devoid of female agency. In the otherwise significant production created by Ivo van Hove for Paris, this omission sits uncomfortably with the social and political values that have been articulated most clearly in the #MeToo campaign. Since Musorgskii provided an alternative, the experience of the original Boris Godunov in actual performance might stimulate a renewed interest in what has been left out. Considered from the standards of the #MeToo movement, the part of Marina Mniszech becomes significant as a reminder of the active role played by women in the historical events represented on stage. The part also resonates with the contemporary #MeToo analysis of gender roles. The character of Marina combines a desire for female autonomy with submission to patriarchal forces and could offer interesting material for a stage production that addresses the story from a modern awareness of gender roles. A comparison with van Hove’s take on Schiller’s Mary Stuart demonstrates that such awareness may be creatively productive.","PeriodicalId":42616,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MUSICOLOGICAL RESEARCH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01411896.2020.1787794","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72470999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They were responsible for educating the upper classes and did so in the suitable privacy of the home environment. However, their presence in Portugal has been little noted, and few studies concerning their functions as teachers and choreographers have been produced in the last decades. Analysis of new iconographic and literary sources from the second half of the seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenth centuries has resulted in new data about their existence and relevance. A study of this new information proves the presence of this professional class in Portugal and allows for the contextualization of its members’ activity, the evaluation of their importance to the musical life of that period, and the analysis of issues related to musical and dancing practices.","PeriodicalId":42616,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MUSICOLOGICAL RESEARCH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88282701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
