The Mediterranean world represented an inspiring cultural and social environment Jules Massenet. It provided him, in his operas and instrumental music, with characters and scenes that enabled him to interpret the spiritual and psychological tensions of the late Romantic period.
For Massenet the Mediterranean world had broad boundaries in both time and place; it included Roman history, the antique Orient, and also the South of Spain, Italy and France, with their magical, sometimes sinful, nuances. Consequently, Massenet’s engagement with Mediterranean culture is dual-faceted, encompassing antique Roman and Oriental societies, with their mysterious, sensual suggestions useful for passionate opera plots, and contemporary Mediterranean societies, suitable for a more picturesque approach.
This book reflects these two tendencies. The essays analyse the basic duality, but also introduce an additional viewpoint: the reception of Massenet’s music in his contemporary Mediterranean world. The analytical approaches represent an enquiry into the reception of Mediterranean compositional theory in Massenet’s training.
The figure of Massenet and his music has been neglected by scholarship over the last two decades. This book aims to fill this gap with a subject not tied exclusively to music but encompassing the impact of a specific cultural dimension on the composer and his music. This dimension is broad in time and place, but no less specific for this breadth. This novel approach is one we have tried to maintain throughout the contributions. Although the enquiry is never-ending, the contributors hope that their combined effort as embodied in this book might provide a basis for further research.

The title is a bit deceiving because this Rossetti text is lauding the clouds of the sky over the boats and ships. Selected for the Judith Herrington series, this is a delightful song for children's choirs. A lilting 6/8 meter carries the flowing message steadily. Easy in difficulty.

Curse of the Tritone for Piano. Composed by Roman Pawollek. Keyboard music. Composed 2004. 24 pages pages. Doblinger Music Publishers #01-00695. Published by Doblinger Music Publishers (DB.01-00695).

Die Idee entstand Anfang der 90-er-Jahre, als ich das Allegro Barbaro, von Bartok selbst gespielt, im Fernsehen sah. Die unglaubliche Kraft, das Urtumliche, Kriegerische hat mich nachhaltig beeindruckt. Kurz darauf entstand eine kurze Improvisation. Etwa zehn Jahre danach schrieb ich meinen Klavierzyklus Vier Charakterstucke. Da bot sich das improvisatorische Material als Grundlage fur den Finalsatz an. Alle vier Stucke zeichnen sich durch treibende Motorik und Vorherrschaft bestimmter Intervalle aus. Im 4. Satz herrscht der Tritonus vor, allerdings - und das ist sein ,,Fluch - mit der kleinen Sekunde zur Quinte strebend, jedoch wie von einer unsichtbaren Symmetrieachse festgehalten (diese entspricht der Anordnung der Hande und liegt irgendwo zwischen ihnen). Als Finalsatz werden in Tritons Fluch auch die Intervalle der ubrigen Satze, also Oktave, Sexte und Terz synthetisch zusammengebracht. Daruber hinaus symbolisiert Triton - der Mond des Planeten Neptun - den ,,Fluch eines von unuberwindbaren Kraften festgehaltenen Korpers, der dadurch nicht in die Lage kommt seinen eigenen Weg gehen zu konnen. Das ist naturlich nur (zeit)bedingt richtig, da das Universum expandiert und irgendwann alle planetarischen Zwange sich auflosen. Allerdings ist nicht auszuschliessen, dass sie sich doch zu neuen Konstellationen wieder formen werden. Dem hinzufugen mochte ich nur noch die Anspielung auf die mythologische Figur des Tritons, dem Sohn Neptuns. (R. Pawollek)
Wie man dem Titel entnehmen kann, herrscht in diesem virtuosen Klavierstuck der Tritonus vor, allerdings - und das ist sein Fluch - mit der kleinen Sekunde zur Quinte strebend, jedoch wie von einer unsichtbaren Symmetrieachse festgehalten.
