Sunday, April 26, 3:00 P.M, Center for Jewish History, 15 West 16th Street New York, NY

Music scholar Walter Frisch and Jewish historian Jonathan Karp discuss the life and legacy of Harold Arlen (1905-1986). Born Hyman Arluck, the son of a cantor from Buffalo, New York, Arlen composed some of the most beloved and admired songs of the twentieth century, including "Blues in the Night," "Over the Rainbow," "Come Rain or Come Shine," and "That Old Black Magic." The conversation will situate Arlen's work within the broader phenomenon of popular songwriting by American Jewish composers.

He has written widely about the Austro-German music in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including Schubert, Brahms, and Schoenberg, as well as about early musical modernism in its cultural context. Frisch is general editor of a new series of period music historiesfrom W. W. Norton, Western Music in Context. His own volume in the series, Music in the Nineteenth Century, appeared in Fall 2012. He is currently doing research the music and career of the American song composer Harold Arlen.

One-Day Seminar & Workshop on Historical Action "Baroque Gesture:
What's the Point ?"

Deadline for registration (no fee): 13th April 2015
Event date Saturday: 18th April 2015
Event venue: New College, Oxford
CFP Deadline: 13 Apr 2015

Information & Application Form: https://www.IlCorago.com

In spite of the clear pointers given by Dene Barnett's pioneering study of The Art of Baroque Gesture (1987) and a plethora of historical treatises on acting, productions of Baroque operas today often present a Historically Informed approach to the music, whilst leaving the visual and dramaturgical aspects of historical performance unexplored.

In the spoken theatre, Historical Practices are sometimes employed as rehearsal exercises, but are rarely seen in performance. Although recent scholarship has made some progress in connecting early music and historical acting, baroque gesture has not yet re-established amongst today's practitioners the importance it had for Shakespeare's, Purcell's or Vivaldi's performers.

So how can period stage-craft be brought more into the mainstream? How can baroque singers 'move the passions' with their acting, as well as with Monteverdi's or Handel's music? How can we suit our Action to the seventeenth century Word?

At this one-day event, Andrew Lawrence-King (opera director& researcher) & Dionysios Kyropoulos (stage director and doctoral student) lead seminar discussions and a practical workshop, highly recommended to Baroque opera singers, Shakespearian actors, directors and researchers.

We invite proposals from researchers and experienced practitioners to present a 20-minute paper or a 30-minute workshop-session.

Seminar Topics: Historical Action & Baroque Gesture, Primary Sources, Stagecraft for actors & singers, Training & Rehearsal Methodologies for directors, Redefining Recitative, The Four Humours, Sprezzatura and Gratia, Intention, Enargeia, Energia and Pneuma, Dance, swordsmanship & other related disciplines, Audience reception.

In the Workshop, we will work through texts from Shakespeare plays and monodies from operas by Monteverdi and other early seicento composers, applying in practice the principles studied during our discussions.

Please apply by 13th April. There is no fee for registration. Further information and application form at www.IlCorago.com
