Program music was one of the most flexible and contentious novelties of the long nineteenth century, covering a diverse range that included the overtures of Beethoven and Mendelssohn, the literary music of Berlioz and Schumann, Liszt's symphonic poems, the tone poems of Strauss and Sibelius, and compositions by groups of composers in Russia, Bohemia, the United States, and France. In this accessible Introduction, Jonathan Kregor explores program music's ideas and repertoire, discussing both well-known and less familiar pieces by an array of nineteenth- and twentieth-century composers. Setting program music in the context of the intellectual debates of the period, Kregor presents the criticism of writers like A. B. Marx and Hanslick to reveal program music's growth, dissemination, and reception. This comprehensive overview features numerous illustrations and music examples and provides detailed case studies of battle music, Shakespeare settings, and Goethe's Faust.

La passion de Liszt pour les arts est essentielle : il ne peut regarder certaines oeuvres sans les mettre en musique. Ses écrits, lettres et articles révèlent sa culture et sa connaissance de l'art et du milieu artistique. Son texte sur la "Sainte Cécile" de Raphaël, par exemple, dévoile ses talents de critique et d'observateur méthodique. Son regard semble procéder à l'instar de celui de Panofsky un siècle plus tard. Grâce à ce rapprochement, l'auteur de ce livre a pu présenter l'ensemble des oeuvres de Liszt inspirées d'arts visuels, notamment "Sposalizio", "Totentanz", "Von der Wieger bis zum Grabe", qui reflètent ses préoccupations principales que sont l'art, la religion et la mort.

Le présent ouvrage traite de l'apparent paradoxe selon lequel le nationalisme puisse se cristalliser dans la musique instrumentale qui semble se soustraire par excellence au discours de l'idéologie. Mais la musique constitue un enjeu politique déterminant à l'époque où se constituent et s'affrontent les nations comme entités culturelles. La musique à programme est un cas exemplaire de cette rivalité dans la construction de deux écoles nationales, l'une allemande, l'autre française : la Neudeutsche Schule et la Société nationale de musique. Entre 1830 et 1914, les innovations dans le domaine de la musique à programme suivent un cheminement entre Paris et Weimar. Les œuvres musicales deviennent progressivement des objets identitaires alors qu'elles sont le produit d'un transfert culturel ; la musique à programme se développe par un système d'échanges permanents entre la France et l'Allemagne. Celle-ci est analysée historiquement à partir de ses institutions, de ses genres et de ses œuvres, dont celles de Berlioz, Liszt, Chausson, d'Indy et Debussy.

Few aspects of Berlioz's style are more idiosyncratic than his handling of musical form. This book, the first devoted solely to the topic, explores how his formal strategies are related to the poetic and dramatic sentiments that were his very reason for being. Rodgers draws upon Berlioz's ideas about musical representation and on the ideas that would have influenced him, arguing that the relationship between musical and extra-musical narrative in Berlioz's music is best construed as metaphorical rather than literal - 'intimate' but 'indirect' in Berlioz's words. Focusing on a type of varied-repetitive form that Berlioz used to evoke poetic ideas such as mania, obsession, and meditation, the book shows how, far from disregarding form when pushing the limits of musical evocation, Berlioz harnessed its powers to convey these ideas even more vividly.

Associated through descriptive texts with literature, politics, religion, and other subjects, 'characteristic' symphonies offer an opportunity to study instrumental music as it engages important social and political debates of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. This first full-length study of the genre illuminates the relationship between symphonies and their aesthetic and social contexts by focussing on the musical representation of feeling, human physical movement, and the passage of time. The works discussed include Beethoven's Pastoral and Eroica Symphonies, Haydn's Seven Last Words of our Savior on the Cross, Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf's symphonies on Ovid's Metamorphoses, and orchestral battle reenactments of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. A separate chapter details the aesthetic context within which characteristic symphonies were conceived, as well as their subsequent reception, and a series of appendixes summarises bibliographic information for over 225 relevant examples.

The musical leitmotif, having reached a point of particular forcefulness in the music of Richard Wagner, has remained a popular compositional device up to the present day. In this book, Matthew Bribitzer-Stull explores the background and development of the leitmotif, from Wagner to the Hollywood adaptations of The Lord of The Rings and the Harry Potter series. Analyzing both concert music and film music, Bribitzer-Stull explains what the leitmotif is and establishes it as the union of two aspects: the thematic and the associative. He goes on to show that Wagner's Ring cycle provides a leitmotivic paradigm, a model from which we can learn to better understand the leitmotif across style periods. Arguing for a renewed interest in the artistic merit of the leitmotif, Bribitzer-Stull reveals how uniting meaning, memory, and emotion in music can lead to a richer listening experience and a better understanding of dramatic music's enduring appeal.
