The edition is based on the unique surviving musical source (M/1365) held at the Biblioteca Nacional de España, collated with two manuscript libretti (MSS/15095 and MSS/16323) that illuminate the work's textual transmission and revision history. The introductory chapters situate the work within the broader context of seventeenth-century Spanish theatrical music, tracing the development of the comedia genre from its origins in the public corrales to its flourishing at the Spanish court. A biographical chapter examines Durón's career trajectory from provincial cathedral organist to maestro de capilla of the Royal Chapel, establishing the circumstances surrounding the work's composition during his tenure as the principal composer for royal celebrations. Extensive attention is given to historically informed performance practice, addressing instrumentation, basso continuo realization, vocal performance conventions, pitch standards, temperament, and the distinctive stylistic features that characterize Durón's theatrical output—including his innovative yet contested integration of Italian operatic elements within the Spanish tradition. The editorial commentary provides a detailed philological analysis of the sources, discusses the challenges posed by the work's mensural notation with blackening and void notation, and presents the methodology employed in text underlay and figured bass realization. A significant contribution of this edition is the reconstruction of the Sinphonia, of which only the basso continuo survives, based on period practice, partimento principles, and Durón's compositional procedures as evidenced throughout the work. The edition incorporates all necessary repetitions for strophic arias, aligns the musical text with the complete libretto structure, and provides editorial suggestions for musica ficta while maintaining transparency regarding all interventions. Appendices include a comprehensive record of editorial decisions, the reconstructed Sinphonia, the complete libretto, and a critical apparatus documenting textual variants between the sources.Item type: Item , Manchypuytu by Alberto Villalpando: A Musical Metaphor of Bolivia(Indiana University, 2024-05-01) Terceros, IsaacItem type: Item , A CONDUCTOR'S GUIDE TO INTERPRETING BEETHOVEN'S NINTH SYMPHONY(Indiana University, 2024-04-19) Ho, Pak Lok AlvinItem type: Item , Orchestrating Schoenberg's Variaitons on a Recitative(Indiana University, 2023-12-19) Spandorf, JonathanItem type: Item , Model for the creation and leadership of sustainable opera camps(Indiana University, 2023-04-12) Barbosa-Vásquez, Diego FelipeThe present Doctoral Dissertation explores one possibility to solve the sustainability problem that the Opera is facing by creating Multilevel and Multidisciplinary Opera Camps. These experiences where all Opera stakeholders (communities, students, and professionals) can interact and be part of the Opera experience in a sustainable way. By framing Opera and Arts as Cultural Commons, the dissertations allows a broader understanding of the full Opera complexities, their benefits to societies, and the responsibilities all society members have to secure their sustainability. Specifically, through in depth analysis of the concept of Opera Camps and multiple Opera programs around the globe (Chapter 1), Arts Administration Literature, and Polycentric and Cultural Commons Governance frameworks; the author creates the MAP Models (Music, Artistic, and Pedagogic governing models) for Opera Camps (Chapter 2). Similarly, the ABC Models (Administrative, Business, and Community Models) are addressed by the Author in other publications. The MAP and ABC Models identify the challenges and goals that need to be addressed in the creation and leadership of these Opera Camps defining the model that can be adapted under the unique specificities of the cities, opera companies, universities, or other entities interested in creating a viable and sustainable Opera experience.Item type: Item , Symphony in colors, Scriabin's Prometheus : the poem of fire, op. 60(Indiana University, 2021-12-03) Samuel, TalItem type: Item , Performing Bach cantatas with modern orchestras: a modern conductor's handbook for applying historically informed practice to today's ensembles(Indiana University, 2019-11-21) Lin, WilburItem type: Item , Frances Stark's The magic flute (orchestrated by Danko Drusko), a pedagogical opera: conductor as collaborator(Indiana University, 2018-12-14) Drusko, Danko, 1982-The goal of this dissertation is to share a significant collaborative project which may be considered a forerunner for similar undertakings in the future. In it, the visual artist, Frances Stark, envisions a film version of the The Magic Flute. Due to her determination to cross boundaries, she collaborates with a conductor/arranger, popular music producer, orchestra manager, and young musicians in order to create a “pedagogical opera.” From a conductor’s point of view, it will be interesting to discover the precise role of conductor as collaborator, as well as learn how one establishes connections in the contemporary art scene. In addition to the collaborative aspect, the musical process shall be examined with as much detail as the visual artist’s. Because of the belief in the project’s role as a forerunner, its potential for future projects will also be discussed.Item type: Item , The pedagogical philosophies & techniques of David Effron(Indiana University, 2018-12-06) Passmore, IanItem type: Item , Item type: Item , The pre-professional training orchestra: a comprehensive manual for conductors(2015-05-14) Kalia, RogerItem type: Item , A graduate curriculum for orchestral conductors(2015-04-27) Mirakian, RobertItem type: Item , A defense of Schumann's intentions for the orchestration of his symphony no. 3 "Rhenish"(2014-12-19) Koo, AbigailItem type: Item , William Grant Still's Afro-American symphony: a critical edition(2014-04-23) Latshaw, Charles
