Chevalier de Saint-Georges

Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges(December 25, 1745 – June 10, 1799), was a FrenchCreolevirtuoso violinist and composer, who was conductor of the leading symphony orchestra in Paris.

Saint-Georges was born in the then French colony ofGuadeloupe, the son of Georges de Bologne Saint-Georges, a wealthy married planter, and an enslaved African woman named Nanon. At the age of seven he was taken to France, and at the age of thirteen educated asgendarmeto the King. He received music lessons from François-Joseph Gossec and likely violin lessons from Jean-Marie Leclair, while continuing to study fencing.

In 1764 Antonio Lolli dedicated two concertos to Saint-Georges. In 1769 he joined a new symphony orchestra; two years later he was appointed concert master and soon started composing. In 1773 he was appointed conductor of "Le Concert des Amateurs". In 1775 he introduced the symphonie concertante, using the possibilities offered by a newbow. In 1776 he was proposed as the next conductor of the Paris Opera, but was subsequently denied this role by a petition by the divas of the time to the Queen. This then put an end to any aspirations that Saint-Georges had to becoming the music director of the institution. In 1778 he lived for 2.5 months next to Mozart in the Chaussee d'Antinand stopped composing instrumental works in 1785. He knew many composers, including Salieri,Gossec,Gretry,Mozart and Gluck. He commissioned and performed the Paris Symphonies by Haydn and travelled to London where he met with the Prince of Wales and George IIIin 1787.

Following the 1789 outbreak of the French Revolution, the younger Saint-Georges served as a colonel of the Légion St.-Georges(established in 1792), the first all-African regiment in Europe, fighting on the side of the French First Republic. Today the Chevalier de Saint-Georges is best remembered as the first well-known classical composer of African ancestry. He composed numerous string quartets and other instrumental pieces, violin concertos as well as operas. Ludwig van Beethoven held his music and his views very highly.

Joseph Bologne was born in Baillif, Basse-Terre as the son of a planter and former councilor at the parliament of Metz, Georges de Bologne Saint-Georges (1711–1774) and Nanon, his wife's 16-year-old enslaved African servant of Senegalese origin, who served as her personal maid. Bologne was legally married to Elisabeth Mérican (1722–1801) but acknowledged his son by Nanon and gave him his surname

Starting in the 17th century, a Code Noir had been law in France and its colonial possessions. On April 5, 1762, King Louis XV decreed that "Nègres et gens de couleur" (Africans and people of color) must register with the clerk of the Admiralty within two months. Many leading Enlightenment thinkers like Voltaire argued that Africans and their descendants were inferior to White Europeans. These laws and racist attitudes towards mixed-race people made it impossible for Joseph Bologne to marry anybody at his level of society, though he did have at least one serious romantic relationship.

Musical life and career

François-Joseph Gossec

Nothing is known about Saint-Georges' early musical training. Given his prodigious technique as an adult, Saint-Georges must have practiced the violin seriously as a child. There has been no documentation found of him as a musician before 1764, when violinistAntonio Lollicomposed two concertos, Op. 2, for him,[note 1]and 1766, when composerFrançois-Joseph Gossecdedicated a set of six string trios, Op. 9,to Saint Georges. Lolli may have worked with Bologne on his violin technique and Gossec on compositions.

(Beauvoir's novel says that "Platon", a fictional whip-toting slave commander onSaint-Domingue, "taught little Saint-Georges" the violin.[note 2])

Historians have discountedFrançois-Joseph Fétis' claim that Saint-Georges studied violin withJean-Marie Leclair. Some of his technique was said to reveal influence byPierre Gaviniès. Other composers who later dedicated works to Saint-Georges wereCarl Stamitzin 1770, and Avolio in 1778.

In 1769, the Parisian public was amazed to see Saint-Georges, the great fencer, playing as a violinist in Gossec's new orchestra,Le Concert des Amateurs. Four years later he became its concertmaster/conductor. In 1772 Saint-Georges created a sensation with his debut as a soloist, playing his first two violin concertos, Op. II, with Gossec conducting the orchestra. "These concertos were performed last winter at a concert of theAmateursby the author himself, who received great applause as much for their performance as for their composition." According to another source, "The celebrated Saint-Georges,mulatto fencer [and] violinist, created a sensation in Paris ... [when] two years later ... at theConcert Spirituel, he was appreciated not as much for his compositions as for his performances, enrapturing especially the feminine members of his audience."

Young Saint-Georges in 1768, aged 22. The three roses on his lapel were a Masonic symbol.

Saint-Georges's first compositions, Op. I, were a set of six string quartets, among the first in France, published by famed French publisher, composer, and teacherAntoine Bailleux. They were inspired byHaydn's earliest quartets, brought from Vienna by Baron Bagge. Saint-Georges wrote two more sets of six string quartets, threeforte-pianoand violin sonatas, a sonata for harp and flute, and six violin duets. The music for three other known compositions was lost: a cello sonata, performed in Lille in 1792, a concerto for clarinet, and one for bassoon.

Saint-Georges wrote twelve additional violin concertos, two symphonies, and eightsymphonie-concertantes, a new, intrinsically Parisian genre of which he was one of the chief exponents. He wrote his instrumental works over a short span of time, and they were published between 1771 and 1779. He also wrote sixopéras comiquesand a number of songs in manuscript.

In 1773, when Gossec took over the direction of the prestigiousConcert Spirituel, he designated Saint-Georges as his successor as director of theConcert des Amateurs. After fewer than two years under the younger man's direction, the group was described[by whom?]as "Performing with great precision and delicate nuances [and] became the best orchestra for symphonies in Paris, and perhaps in all of Europe."

Palais de Soubise, venue of Saint-Georges' orchestra

In 1781, Saint Georges'sConcert des Amateurshad to be disbanded due to a lack of funding. Playwright andSecret du RoispyPierre Caron de Beaumarchaisbegan to collect funds from private contributors, including many of theConcert'spatrons, to sendmaterielaid for the American cause. The plan to send military aid via a fleet of fifty vessels and have those vessels return withAmerican rice, cotton, or tobacco ended up bankrupting the French contributors as theAmerican congressfailed to acknowledge its debt and the ships were sent back empty. Saint-Georges turned to his friend and admirer,Philippe D'Orléans, duc de Chartres, for help. In 1773 at the age of 26, Philippe had been elected Grand Master of the 'Grand Orient de France' after uniting all the Masonic organizations in France. Responding to Saint-Georges's plea, Philippe revived the orchestra as part of theLoge Olympique, an exclusive Freemason Lodge.

RenamedLe Concert Olympique, with practically the same personnel, it performed in the grand salon of thePalais Royal. In 1785, Count D'Ogny, grand master of the Lodge and a member of its cello section, authorized Saint-Georges to commissionHaydnto composesix new symphoniesfor the Concert Olympique. Conducted by Saint-Georges, Haydn's "Paris" symphonies were first performed at the Salle desGardes-Suissesof theTuileries, a much larger hall, in order to accommodate the huge public demand to hear Haydn's new works. QueenMarie Antoinetteattended some of Saint-Georges's concerts at the Palais de Soubise, arriving sometimes without notice, so the orchestra wore court attire for all its performances. "Dressed in rich velvet or damask with gold or silver braid and fine lace on their cuffs and collars and with their parade swords and plumed hats placed next to them on their benches, the combined effect was as pleasing to the eye as it was flattering to the ear." Saint-Georges played all his violin concertos as soloist with his orchestra.

Movie Themes by Candlelight

Movie Themes by Candlelight

Sunday night out in town.. What am I like? Tonight was the Movie Themes by Candlelight at the St. Georges Hall in Liverpool. This was a performance by the London Concertante. They seem to fairly regularly play this venue alternating between these Movie & TV Theme songs and evenings of purely classical music. They are back sometime in April, and I think I might just go and see them again. They…

27 de abril

Bom dia a todos!...

Neste dia:

Nasceu, em 1759, a ótima escritora britânica Mary Wollstonecraft.

Nasceu, em 1899, o pioneiro cartunista e diretor de animação estadunidense Walter Lantz.

Morreu, em 2007, o fabuloso violoncelista e maestro russo Mstislav Rostropovich.

Mstisláv Leopóldovitch Rostropóvitch (em russo: Мстисла́в Леопо́льдович Ростропо́вич) nasceu em Baku no dia 27 de março de 1927 e morreu em Moscou em 27 de abril de 2007. Foi um violoncelista e maestro russo naturalizado americano. Para muitos, foi um dos maiores violoncelistas do século XX e o sucessor de Pablo Casals. Estudou no conservatório da capital (do qual mais tarde seria docente) tendo como professores, entre outros, Dmitri Shostakovitch e Serguei Prokofiev. Estreou diversas obras para violoncelo dos principais compositores contemporâneos, como a Sinfonia concertante em mi menor, opus 125, de Serguei Prokofiev, os dois concertos para violoncelo de Dmitri Shostakovich, a Sinfonia para violoncelo e a Sonata para violoncelo e piano, de Benjamin Britten. Rostropovitch lutou por uma arte sem fronteiras e pela liberdade de expressão, o que lhe causou uma série de constrangimentos por parte do regime soviético. Em fevereiro de 1948, ele era aluno de Shostakovich no Conservatório de Moscou, quando o mestre foi acusado de "formalismo" e destituído de suas funções docentes, por um decreto do governo. Ele e sua mulher, a soprano Galina Vishnevskaya, passaram a ter dificuldades para realizar suas apresentações no exterior. Em 1974, o casal e seus filhos deixam a URSS, instalando-se nos Estados Unidos.

Walter Lantz, nascido Walter Benjamin Lantz (New Rochelle, 27 de abril de 1899 — Burbank, 22 de março de 1994), foi um desenhista, animador e dublador estadunidense. Conhecido principalmente pela fundação do Walter Lantz Studio e pela criação do personagem Woody Woodpecker (Pica-Pau).

Mary Wollstonecraft (Londres, 27 de abril de 1759 – Londres, 10 de setembro de 1797) foi uma escritora inglesa do século XVIII, assim como filósofa e defensora dos direitos das mulheres. Durante sua breve carreira, escreveu romances, tratados, uma narrativa de viagem, uma história da Revolução Francesa, um livro de boas maneiras e livros infantis. O trabalho mais conhecido de Mary Wollstonecraft é Uma Reivindicação pelos Direitos da Mulher (1792), no qual ela argumenta que as mulheres não são, por natureza, inferiores aos homens, mas apenas aparentam ser por falta de educação e escolaridade. Ela sugere que tanto os homens como as mulheres devem ser tratados como seres racionais, e concebe uma ordem social baseada na razão.

Em “A reivindicação dos direitos das mulheres” (1792), escreveu:

“É assim, por exemplo, que a demanda por educação tem por objetivo exclusivo permitir o livre desenvolvimento da mulher como ser racional, fortalecendo a virtude por meio do exercício da razão e tornando-a plenamente independente.”

Ela dizia que as mulheres são feitas mulheres na infância e infantilizadas na vida adulta. A educação das mulheres as torna objeto de desejo. Nas palavras de Wollstonecraft:

“Contudo, fêmeas, que são feitas mulheres ainda quando são meras crianças, e trazidas de volta à infância quando deveriam deixar o andador para sempre, não têm força de mente suficiente para apagar as superinduções da arte que amaciaram a natureza. [...] Esta cruel associação de ideias, à qual cada coisa conspira para desviar todos os seus hábitos de pensar ou para falar com mais precisão dos sentimentos, recebe novas forças quando [elas] começam a agir um pouco por si mesmas; pois elas, então, percebem que é somente por meio de excitar emoções nos homens, que o prazer e o poder são obtidos.”

Posto hoje:

Thưởng thức tinh tế: Người nhạc sĩ vĩ đại đã mở cho tôi thấy cổng thiên đường…

Đó là những âm thanh chói lọi của thiên đường bay bổng, của những giấc mơ tình yêu khoáng đạt mạnh mẽ, lãng mạn và tinh tế. Duo Concertante Op. 57 n.3 là bản song tấu violon số 3 mang tên Allegretto trong tác phẩm số 57 của Bériot, một sự chấn động tâm hồn...

Tác phẩm dưới sự trình diễn của 2 nữ violon tài ba là Lena Yokoyama và Anastasiya Petryshak đã tạo nên cho thính giả một món quà tâm hồn tuyệt vời để thưởng thức, đó là những âm thanh chói lọi của thiên đường bay bổng, của những giấc mơ tình yêu khoáng đạt mạnh mẽ, lãng mạn và tinh tế.

Phải nói rằng cá tính trình diễn xuất sắc của 2 nghệ sĩ xinh đẹp này đã khiến bầu không khí nhà hát trở nên ngưng đọng, thời gian đang trôi bỗng như trở nên lắng đọng cho tới tận những giây cuối cùng khi bản nhạc kết thúc.

IIM 2017: Preisträger – Diyang Mei aus China

Saitenzauber, Kulturkabarett & Operettenklassiker!

Bad Elster/CVG. Die GroKo geht um in Berlin und zwingt weiterhin zu langen Diskussionsnächten in Hinterzimmern. Die Koalitionsverhandlungen in Bad Elster hingegen sind schon seit 200 Jahren abgeschlossen: Natur, Kultur & Gesundheit bilden hier eine verlässliche Einheit, die das Gästeglück seitjeher inspiriert und konstant entwickelt. Hier daher unsere aktuellen Glücksmomente aus Bad Elster vom 30. Januar bis 4. Februar:

Am Dienstag, den 30. Januar gastiert der gebürtige Londoner Slide-Gitarrist und Harmonicaspieler Pete Gavin um 19.30 Uhr im Theatercafé Bad Elster. Der TheaterClub im König Albert Theater öffnet die Pforten für die Shanghai Blues Gang: Herzlichen Willkommen Pete Gavin! Der geborene Londoner ist ehemaliger Physiker und begann seine Karriere in der Folk- Blues- Szene rund um Soho. Dabei jammte er mit Kollegen wie Spencer Davis und Keith Reif und schaffte es auch auf die großen Festivalbühnen von Reading und Glastonbury. Die Straße wurde dabei zur harten Schule für sein unglaubliches Gitarre- und Mundharmonikaspiel. Touren durch Japan, USA und Europa halfen seinen Stil zu prägen, bevor er sich schließlich in Deutschland niederließ. Zurzeit ist Pete gemeinsam mit Pick Stevens aus Shanghai im Duo unterwegs und präsentiert damit die “light” Version der Shanghai Blues Gang in den Streets of Bad Elster…

TIPP DER WOCHE: Am Freitag, den 2. Februar lädt die Chursächsische Philharmonie Bad Elster unter der Leitung von GMD Florian Merz um 19.30 Uhr zum 6. Symphoniekonzert mit dem Titel »Saitenzauber« in das König Albert Theater ein. Dabei werden die Preisträger des Internationalen Instrumentalwettbewerbs Markneukirchen 2017, Diyang Mei (Viola) aus China und Andreas Ehelebe (Kontrabass) aus Berlin gemeinsam mit dem Orchester in jugendlich-exzellenter Streichervirtuosität voll mediterraner und deutscher Spielfreude das Publikum verzaubern. Eröffnet wird das Konzert mit italienischen Klängen der Streichersonate Nr. 4 B-Dur von Gioacchino Rossini. Im Anschluss erklingt das Konzert für Viola und Orchester G-Dur von Georg Philipp Telemann und das Konzert für Kontrabass und Orchester D-Dur von Johann Baptist Vanhal. Gemeinsam musizieren die Solisten des Abends – Diyang Mei an der Viola und Andreas Ehelebe am Kontrabass – bei der Sinfonia Concertante D-Dur für Viola, Kontrabass und Orchester von Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf. Eine weitere musikalische Kostbarkeit erklingt mit der Streicherserenade Es-Dur von Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari als krönenden Abschluss dieser Saitenzauberei.

Am Sonnabend, den 3. Februar gastiert Jürgen Becker, einer der bekanntesten deutschen Kabarettisten und Moderator der »Mitternachtsspitzen« im WDR, mit seinem Live-Programm »Volksbegehren – Die Kulturgeschichte der Fortpflanzung« um 19.30 Uhr im König Albert Theater Bad Elster. Der bekannte Autor und Fernsehmoderator zu Gast in Bad Elster! Das Aushängeschild des rheinischen Kabaretts vermag es wie kein zweiter, seine Themen zum Brüllen komisch und trotzdem liebenswert auf den Tisch zu bringen. Wir sind Tiere und werden es immer bleiben. Daran erinnert uns der Sex, weshalb er so beunruhigend, elektrisierend, schockierend und angenehm ist. Jürgen Becker bittet nun zum Blick durchs Schlüsselloch. Das Publikum darf sich beim Liebesspiel mit Worten aufs angenehmste gekitzelt fühlen und beim Anblick von hundert erotischen Meisterwerken in Deckung bleiben – und spürt dabei geflissentlich, dass schöne Schenkel nicht nur im Bett betören. Gelegentlich darf man sich auch darauf klopfen.

Am Sonntag, den 4. Februar wird um 15.00 Uhr wieder der Operettenklassiker »Im weißen Rössl« von Ralph Benatzky als Gemeinschaftsproduktion der Landesbühnen Sachsen und der Chursächsischen Philharmonie unter der Leitung von Thomas Gläser im historischen König Albert Theater Bad Elster aufgeführt. Diese Operette erfreut sich seit der Uraufführung 1930 weltweiter Beliebtheit. In Kooperation mit den Landesbühnen Sachsen widmet sich das Chursächsische Salonorchester diesem Klassiker der Operette mit seinen unsterblichen Ohrwürmern– Bad Elster zeigt sich einmal mehr im Fieber der leichten Muse..! Im »Weißen Rössl« am Wolfgangsee herrscht Hochsaison. Ottilie singt vor sich hin »die ganze Welt ist himmelblau« während ihr Vater Fabrikant Giesecke sich weder für die Gegend noch für den Rechtsanwalt und Stammgast Siedler begeistern kann. Dieser gefällt jedoch seiner Tochter. Doch nicht nur sie wirft Siedler Blicke zu, auch Wirtin Josepha hat ein Auge auf ihn geworfen, so nimmt das Spiel seinen Lauf…

Abgerundet wird das winterliche Programm in der Kultur- und Festspielstadt Bad Elster mit verschiedenen Kammermusikprogrammen von Ensembles der Chursächsischen Philharmonie und Folklore-Konzerten mit Orchestern der Musikregion Vogtland. Die Veranstaltungen können selbstverständlich jederzeit mit Rahmenprogrammen aus Erholung & Kulinarium kombiniert werden.
