Gluck revolutionized opera by establishing lyrical tragedy as a unified vital art form. He studied music at Prague and later in Italy with G. B. Sammartini. His first 10 operas, in the Italian style, were successfully performed in Italy in the years 1741-45. In 1752, after sojourns in England and Germany, Gluck became conductor of Prince Hildburghausen's private orchestra in Vienna, and for the next decade he directed musical productions at the Viennese court. With his opera Orfeo ed Euridice (1762), inspired by Greek legend, Gluck introduced an entirely new kind of opera, in which dramatic, emotional, and musical elements were artistically fused for the first time. To Ranieri Calzabigi, the librettist of Orfeo and also Alceste (1767), Gluck gave much of the credit for his new operatic style. In 1773, Gluck went to Paris, where his first serious opera with a French libretto, (1774), was performed. That and subsequent productions created much controversy between supporters of Gluck and proponents of traditional Italian opera. His last important work

Armide (Christoph Willibald von Gluck) Libretto by Philippe Quinault, after an episode in Torquato Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata C HARACTERS Armide, a sorceress, Princess of Damascus soprano soprano Sidonie, her confidante soprano Renaud, a crusader tenor Hidraot, King of Damascus, a magician baritone La Haine (Hatred) contralto Danish Knight tenor Ubalde, a knight baritone Demon in the form of Lucinde, beloved of the Danish Knight soprano soprano tenor Aronte, guard of Armide's prisoners bass Naiad soprano Shepherd soprano A Pleasure soprano In his Armide Gluck set Quinault's libretto of 1686 and the action of the opera therefore follows that of the earlier work, without the prologue. In Lully's version Renaud and the Danish Knight were haute-contres and La Haine a tenor. Gluck considered the opera as perhaps his best.

Terug naar Luisterclub Klassieke Muziek ORFEUS EN EURYDICE van Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714 - 1787) Lezing voor de Luisterclub Klassieke Muziek door Fenna de Vries Lier = muziekinstrument uit de Griekse oudheid. Bestaat uit schild van schildpad, zijarmen en snaren. Klaroen = soort trompet met zeer heldere doordringende tonen. Klaroen wordt door Bach gebruikt in zijn "Hohe Messe". Wordt daarom ook wel Bachtrompet of sopraantrompet genoemd. Klaroen of clarino lijkt op een oude posthoorn. Symbolen uit de Griekse mythologie: Styx = rivier die de boven- en onderwereld met elkaar verbindt. Charon = veerman die in zijn bootje stervelingen naar de overkant brengt tegen betaling van een muntje = vrouwelijke hartstochten Cerberus = driekoppige helhond die de oever van de Styx bewaakt Amor = god van de liefde Labyrint Korte inhoud van het libretto van de opera "Orfeus en Eurydice" Samen met een groep vrienden rouwt Orfeus om de dood van zijn geliefde Eurydice. Al gauw vraagt hij zijn vrienden zich terug te trekken, waarna hij alleen zijn klaagzang voortzet. Hij vervloekt de wrede goden van de onderwereld, die hem zijn jonge bruid ontnomen hebben. Amor verschijnt en vertelt dat de goden zo met Orfeus' lot begaan zijn dat zij hem toestemming verlenen in het dodenrijk af te dalen om Eurydice te halen. Voorwaarde is echter dat hij haar niet aankijkt zolang zij beiden niet in de bovenwereld zijn teruggekeerd en ook mag hij haar niet vertellen over dit gebod. Orfeus is zich ten volle bewust van deze moeilijke opdracht. Eurydice zal hem blindelings moeten gehoorzamen. Het zal zeer zwaar zijn voor hen beiden, maar hij is vastbesloten deze beproeving te ondergaan.

FICHA Nacionalidad: Alemania Erasbach 1714 - Viena 1787 Durante su juventud realizó un recorrido por Europa para completar su formación musical. Aunque es cultivador de varios géneros, se decanta por la ópera. Al inicio de su carrera continúa la tradición italiana, Gluck pasaría a la historia por sus aportaciones a la ópera barroca. Fue nombrado director del teatro de la Corte de Viena. En sus trabajos concede especial importancia a la declamación y los coros, además de trasmitir al espectador el estado psicológico de sus personajes. La recreación de los sentimientos y las emociones fueron el principal objetivo de sus creaciones . Tras sufrir una apoplejía y quedarse paralítico de un brazo recibió la ayuda de Salieri , su alumno, que escribía las óperas de su maestro. Compuso 107 obras enmarcadas en el movimiento romántico. De ellas destacan: "Orfeo y Eurídice", "Alceste" (1767), "Ifigenia en Áulide", "La fiesta de Apolo" y "Paris y Helena", entre otras.

Gluck was born in Germany (hence the additional name of Ritter von, which is sometimes accorded him). However, his usual name is Czech in origin, and his musical education began in Bohemia. None of his many operas was in German the lighter operas were in French while the more serious compositions were in Italian. (Image © The Art Archive/Society Friends Music Vienna/Dagli Orti) Bohemian-German composer. His series of reform operas moved music away from the formal conventions of the day, in which the interests of singers predominated in particular, endless recitative was replaced by orchestral accompaniments, which improved dramatic flow. In 1762 his Orfeo ed Euridice/Orpheus and Eurydice revolutionized the 18th-century conception of opera by giving free scope to dramatic effect. It was followed by
