Penthesilea (opera)
''Penthesilea'' is a one-act opera by Othmar Schoeck, to a German-language libretto by the composer, after the work of the same name by Heinrich von Kleist. It was first performed at the Staatsoper in Dresden on 8 January 1927. Schoeck used the contrast between C major and F major as a musical basis for his work. Robin Holloway has noted the similarity of theme to Richard Strauss' '' Elektra'', as well as Schoeck's use of two pianos in the instrumentation. Holloway, Robin, "Schoeck the Evolutionary" (October 2001). ''Tempo'' (New Ser.), 218: pp. 2–6. Roles Synopsis The story is about the tragic love of Penthesilea, Queen of the Amazons, and Achilles. Achilles has defeated the Amazon queen Penthesilea in battle. However, he falls in love with her. After Penthesilea has recovered, Achilles allows her to think that she defeated him, because Amazon law stipulates a warrior may only associate with a man whom she has defeated. Under this idea, Penthesilea returns the affec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dithyramb
The dithyramb (; grc, διθύραμβος, ''dithyrambos'') was an ancient Greek hymn sung and danced in honor of Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility; the term was also used as an epithet of the god. Plato, in ''The Laws'', while discussing various kinds of music mentions "the birth of Dionysos, called, I think, the dithyramb." Plato also remarks in the ''Republic'' that dithyrambs are the clearest example of poetry in which the poet is the only speaker. However, in '' The Apology'' Socrates went to the dithyrambs with some of their own most elaborate passages, asking their meaning but got a response of, "Will you believe me?" which "showed me in an instant that not by wisdom do poets write poetry, but by a sort of genius and inspiration; they are like diviners or soothsayers who also say many fine things, but do not understand the meaning of them." Plutarch contrasted the dithyramb's wild and ecstatic character with the paean. According to Aristotle, the dithyramb was the o ...

Elegie (Schoeck)
Elegie, Op.36 is a 1922 song cycle for baritone and chamber orchestra by Othmar Schoeck. The cycle consists of 24 German-language settings of Nikolaus Lenau and Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff. The Elegie is the earliest of Schoeck's song-cycles, coming after his opera ''Venus'' (1919–21).Chris Walton ''Othmar Schoeck: Life and Works'' 1580463002 - 2009 - Page 115 "Venus and the Elegie also provide the first intimation that Schoeck's gift for drama in music, with few exceptions, found its finest expression when it tended to monodrama. At the time that Schoeck wrote his Elegie, its modest instrumentation meant that it was not difficult to program, whereas today, an hour-long cycle with chamber orchestra is seen as too short for an evening's concert and too long for one half of a program.

Notturno (Schoeck)
''Notturno'' (german: Notturno: Fünf Sätze für Bariton und Streichquartett) is a song cycle for baritone and string quartet by Swiss composer Othmar Schoeck (1886-1957). It was composed between 1931 and 1933, and was published as his Op. 47. It consists of musical settings of nine poems by the Austrian poet Nikolaus Lenau (1802-1850) and of one by the Swiss poet Gottfried Keller (1819-1890). It is in 14 sections: the German title ''Fünf Sätze'' (i.e. "Five pieces", or "movements") refers to the fact that the vocal settings fall into five groups, four of poems by Lenau and one of the poem by Keller, separated by instrumental interludes. # "Sieh dort den Berg mit seinem Wiesenhange" (Lenau) # "Sieh hier den Bach, anbei die Waldesrose" (Lenau) # Andante appassionato (string quartet alone) # "Die dunklen Wolken hingen" (Lenau) # "Sahst du ein Glück vorübergehn" (Lenau) # Presto (string quartet alone) # "Der Traum war so wild" (Lenau) # "Es weht der Wind so kühl" (Lenau) # "Ri ...

Zentralbibliothek Zürich
''Zentralbibliothek Zürich'' (Zurich Central Library) is the main library of both the city and the University of Zurich, housed in the ''Predigerkloster'', the former Black Friars' abbey, in the old town's Rathaus quarter. It was founded in 1914 by a merger of the former cantonal and city libraries. Its history ultimately goes back to the ''Stiftsbibliothek'' of the Grossmünster abbey, first attested in 1259. Much of the abbey's library was lost in the Swiss Reformation, especially in an incident of book burning on 14 September 1525, reducing it to a total inventory of 470 volumes. From 1532, Konrad Pellikan (1478–1556) began rebuilding the ''Stiftsbibliothek'', especially with the purchase of Zwingli's private library, and the library catalogue in 1551 lists 770 volumes. The city library had been established in 1634, and its policy to allow access only to citizens of Zurich led to disputes with the University, which led to the establishment of a cantonal library in 1835, ...
