Musical Symbolism in the Operas of Debussy and Bartok

Book Description
Musical Symbolism in the Operas of Debussy and Bartók explores the means by which two early 20th century operas - Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande (1902) and Bartók's Duke Bluebeard's Castle (1911) - transformed the harmonic structures of the traditional major/minor scale system into a new musical language. It also looks at how this language reflects the psychodramatic symbolism of the Franco-Belgian poet, Maurice Maeterlinck, and his Hungarian disciple, Béla Balázs. These two operas represent the first significant attempts to establish more profound correspondences between the symbolist dramatic conception and the new musical language. Duke Bluebeard's Castle is based almost exclusively on interactions between pentatonic/diatonic folk modalities and their more abstract symmetrical transformations (including whole-tone, octatonic, and other pitch constructions derived from the system of the interval cycles). The opposition of these two harmonic extremes serve as the basis for dramatic polarity between the characters as real-life beings and as instruments of fate. The book also explores the new musico-dramatic relations within their larger historical, social psychological, philosophical, and aesthetic contexts.

Book Description
The first is now published and is a brief study of veridical apparitions and hallucinations and haunted houses, or, if you will, the phantasms of the living and the dead; of those manifestations which have been oddly and not very appropriately described as "psychometric"; of the knowledge of the future: presentiments, omens, premonitions, precognitions, and the rest; and lastly of the Elberfeld horses. In the second, which will be published later, I shall treat of the miracles of Lourdes and other places, the phenomena of so called materialization, of the divining-rod and of fluidic asepsis, not unmindful withal of a diamond dust of the miraculous that hangs over the greater marvels in that strange atmosphere into which we are about to pass. �Maurice Maeterlinck, from the Introduction to The Unknown Guest AUTHOR BIO: Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949) was born in Ghet, Belgium, into a prosperous Francophone Catholic family. Maeterlinck was closely associated with the French literary movement of symbolism, which used symbols to represent ideas and emotions. The author of more than 60 books replete with suggestions of universal mystery and auras of impending doom, Maeterlinck's work as a whole can be read as a symbolist manifesto. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1911.

Maeterlinck's Symbolism: "The Blue Bird" Chapter I Maeterlinck as a Mystic--Relation to Swedenborg--The Key to " The Blue Bird" ONE of the foremost of living symbolists is Maeterlinck. It has long been recognized that in " Pelleas and Melisanda," in his oneact play "The Sightless," and in some of his other works he has displayed powers'of symbolic writing of the highest order-representing vital spiritual-truths in garments of imagery which, if baffling to the foolish and profane, have yet made those truths appear the more brightly to the wise and devout. But the powers of Maeterlinck have grown most marvellously. In his more recent and, in most respects, his chief work, " The Blue Bird," admirably translated into English by M. Alexander Teixeira de Mattos and produced at the Haymarket Theatre, London, he has given us a play which in its symbolism is far in advance of the others which have come from his pen. To interpret this symbolism in its fullness would require an essay much longer than the play. This is impossible here: only some of the leading features of the work can be dealt with. In entering upon the task of indicating these features there are one or two prefatory observations which I would like to make. To me it appears that this is a play which must be of special and peculiar interest to students of Swedenborg, the Swedish seer of whom, as mystic, philosopher, and scientist; we are hearing rather more in these days than was heard formerly. By those who are familiar with Swedenborg's teaching " The Blue Bird " must be "recognized as to a very large extent written on lines which are in accordance with what is known as the Science of Correspondences--a very prominent feature of Swedenborg's teaching. Maeterlinck himself is...
