Sergei Prokofiev - Ivan the Terrible: Concert Scenario

Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein
(1898-1948), artist and intellectual and versatile witness directed the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, turned in 1938, once on Sergei Prokofiev to ask him to compose the music for his film Alexander Nevsky . That first meeting gave professional results so high that Eisenstein could not help but to resort again to Prokofiev to compose the musical score for his most ambitious work: Ivan the Terrible, the monumental film with which he celebrated the epic of the first Tsar of all Russia, lived in the sixteenth century. "Ivan the Terrible" is a gigantic work, which depicts an ancient Russia, but left to launch flares that of Stalin. Unfortunately, the character of Ivan the Terrible told in the film resembles a bit 'too much to Stalin, to the point that they blocked the exit of the second part of the film, also shot and designed to be a unified work, thus preventing that was completed the original project director, who had directing mind of a third party dedicated to winning the maturity of Ivan. And so, though the work had already been completed in 1946, it was not until 1958 - that is, five years after the death of Stalin and Prokofiev and ten from that of Eisenstein - to see the whole opera represented.
Eisenstein had many good reasons to turn to his soundtracks for Prokofiev: his vast experience - from symphonic and piano that chamber dallopera opera and ballet - he had aged in the two qualities, only opposite in appearance, are essential for writing film music: expressive flexibility in adapting to situations and iron discipline in complying with the pace of the succession of images. For the music of 'Alexander Nevsky also had the opportunity to experience a compositional technique has proved very suitable for that purpose, was to create three pieces of material to be used for different needs films. The first block was part of the most musically ambitious material, material which would have had to adapt the screenplay, in order to enhance the full potential of the soundtrack and in second block, script and music were exchanged roles and prominence, so was the music to be written to measure the scene already filmed, and finally, in the third block was part of the stew of small and refrains leit-motif that would be bounced from time to time in sound texture of the film, according to the needs of its director.
As for the 'Alexander Nevsky , the brilliant pair gave full evidence of their mastery, creating a work that still has no equal in this very special ranking combined (mainly due to lack of objective approachable filmmakers to musicians' height of the genius of Prokofiev).
Unfortunately those music Prokofiev had no time and method of treating suites concert or still functional adaptations to their self-representation. To listen to music in concert it was not until 1961, when Abram Stasevich (1907-1974) made an oratory. To represent in a comprehensive manner the complex plot of the film's plot of origin, Stasevich enucleates twenty-six original paintings from the score, connecting them together with shares entrusted to a narrator, which has the task of narrating the scene changes on the basis of written by the same Eisenstein. The giant altarpiece that ensued, while overall commendable, is not always smooth reading, reciting and fatigued by the interventions of the pieces resulting from the Orthodox liturgical tradition, musically interest lower. Thus in 1990 the English musicologist Christopher Palmer oversaw a revival of Prokofiev's work, more agile and free of commentary on the narrator. The thirteen pieces in this version which is organized by the concert were selected and organized with less comprehensive criteria clearly about the plot of the film's origin, but their structures and temporal succession. The forces entrusted with the first recording of this new version, given below, are the same that have sponsored the premiere, which took place in London February 28, 1991: Linda Finnie is the alto, bass-baritone Nikita Storojev , Philharmonia Chorus and Philharmonia Orchestra are entrusted to the care of Neeme Järvi.

6 Seizure of Kazan - The Storming of Kazan - Die Erstürmung von Kasan - A l'assaut de Kazan

The proposals are clearly scenes from the film source, adapted to the concert version of music that accompanies the long sequence in the film of the siege and fall of the city of Kazan, capital of the Islamic khanate was conquered in August 1552 by troops led by the Tsar Ivan. Fortified by this success came fame as a unifier of Ivan the Russian people and a defender of Christian belief.

11 The Banquet - The banquet - Das Festessen - The banquet: i) Allegro well-paced, ferocious ii) Allegro moderato; iii) Allegro well paced.

The "snapshots" proposals refer again to the sequences annotated by the music in the concert version proposed here. In the sequence in black and white actors impersonating Serafina Birman and Pavel Kadochnikov respectively Efrosina Staritskaya and his son Vladimir, who would like the noble boyars as tsar, because of its ineptitude that would facilitate the handling by the latter. Efrosina, Ivan's aunt, she sings a lullaby to his son, indeed, grown-up, which tells of the adventures of the hunter accapararsi the skin of the beaver, the metaphor behind it is even not so secretly done a glimpse of Vladimir the need to search a 'action strength of the solution to their ambitions of power. The next sequence, populated by wild dancing and singing, he clings to the banquet held by Ivan, which - sensed the betrayal - is his cousin Vladimir drunk to make him confess their intentions conspiracy. These, in the throes of a trance induced by alcohol and exceptional charisma enthralling Ivan, let's be put on the royal robes and is about to become a sacrificial victim of the revenge of the Tsar. Amazing stage presence and the magnetism of the protagonist, the actor Nicolai Cherkasov.



12 Murder in the Cathedral - Murder in the Cathedral - Mord in der Kathedrale - Le meurtre dans la cathédrale.

is a significant addition to the score obtained by Palmer Stasevich that, rather inexplicably, has decided not to include in their selection with the background music that Prokofiev has translated into sounds, the concern of Vladimir and the dramatic conclusion of his awkward "coup ". The theme of the lament of the beaver is here taken up and developed by the choir with his mouth closed with a growing disturbing film of great effect, whose peak coincides with the arrival of the mortal blow, by which the killer - unaware of mistaken identity - remains the conspirator to life. I took the original sequence (again, as the banquet scene that precedes it, turn on color film from the war booty seized from the Nazis) that you can still review and "listen" in its link to the original sounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALbxsm27ojw

Casadeipensieri Seminar:

Caronna : A role of European parties of the Left and Democrats to propose equality and work.
Clerks and parties: to each his own trade.
Ferrari: A examination committee on the quality of public policy, promoted dall'Associazionismo.

was held this morning at the Hotel Corona d'Oro, the 'crowded annual meeting of the seminar "Casadeipensieri-Casadeicittadini" on issues of social and political perspective of Bologna and the Emilia-Romagna.
opened the proceedings by prof. On Giancarla Codrignani , who recalled the serious moment lived by democracy in Italy today, including crisis and the crisis of disclosure rules. Codrignani explained the desire to react, which is present in civil society to which it belongs and that is Casadeipensieri also the basis of the initiative today.

Davide Ferrari, Director of Casadeipensieri, played the first report, which followed those of Duccio Campagnoli and Giuseppina Muzzarelli, V. President of the Region.

Ferrari: We see in society, also in Bologna the highest level of distance from politics and disillusionment.
We hear the same words is against the policies that are both daughters of indignation that are intended for an escape from freedom, democracy.
There is good governance, all indicators are good. The 'Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy is the region with the most advanced in Italy and the majority of citizens knows.
The role of politics was and is great to achieve this, for our area much less an inheritance from history and geography, as is Milan.
At the same time the company is growing insecurity, mistrust.
The economic crisis is already
crisis is a global civil society that seems ever more present uncertainties.
The challenge does not stop tomorrow on the economy. Factors
massive change in voltage and put to the test systems and social welfare established. The life of the middle class, impoverished and overwhelmed by new responsibilities. I think
significant increase in life expectancy, which is good, but radically changes the families and carers, and cultural identity node, the novelty of the phenomenon of explosive, the disorientation of the younger generation. We can not see the new processes of poverty and slip down to secure the first classes, to the problems of monthly income of many families.
The region ruled by two very strong points of orientation:
social cohesion and unity of society.
must make more explicit the values \u200b\u200bthat underlie it.
Need a strong message of values, possible opportunities, trust.
The other, the right-here-with Bernini say "we do not and will cost you to less, so the public is always wrong "
We must respond with the utmost restraint in behavior, with a renewal but also with the defense-in-proof of the facts of politics and public policy responsibilities.
Politics is not all political.
is the relationship between command and society.
Policy widespread, as we have in Bologna is the tissue that makes the city more democratic and more open and able to move forward.
as well as a similar phenomenon, which give a new centrality, is the persistence of el'estendersi 'associations
suggest that the voluntary sector, and ways-in locations to define all-life-to give its own initiative-At-Monitoring Committee for examining public policy and public administration, according to patterns found in large institutional bodies and associations in Northern Europe, able to operate continuously, year after year ,
not only to control, verifying the programs, their implementation and results achieved, a third position in relation to administrators and citizens, but also see what happens and what could be done.
help to pass the critical dall'indistinzione the merits.
Enough with the vague criticisms that lead to populism.
today is too much distance between the indicators and the scientific widespread perception. We must put in place initiatives to begin to reduce this and other distances.
We put the focus of our seminar "Development of quality, solidarity and knowledge. Here in Emilia, with these levers are trying to react to problems without waiting for recovery. "
Ferrari's intervention was then focused on issues of culture and the school in Emilia-Romagna.

Campagnoli :" I agree with Ferrari , should give a clearer sense of what we did. The indifference, which is so present, is displaced from the relevance of the economic crisis. Reconsider public policy. neocentralismo to the Sarkozy is already over in Europe, remain necessary political territories, regional areas.
The Region has made a broad policy for economic development through the optics manufacturing districts in the technology districts. Important technopoles cher is being made linking universities and research firms. The Region Emilia has become a governess who works with budgets of 13 billion and is recognized by a person driving territory and Europe. "

Muzzarelli :" Decrease attached to Europe. But a united Europe was born as a repudiation of the war. Generations each have their own attitude to Europe. The latter prevails AIDEA youngest of Europe "experienced" occupied, for business and culture. But great is the work to make it more accessible to the Emilia-Romagna and the labor market opportunities in Europe, must pass each location. Serious arguments against the Office of the Brussels Region. Should be easier to communicate the idea of \u200b\u200bwhat Europe is and spread it din from schools. In this we are working, because our fellow citizens, who already feel European, I become more participatory

presentations were by prof. Corrado Melega ("They are not the rights of freedom of women and a market of more authoritarian work that demands time and total membership to women. We have to say "free Science in the free state, "otherwise it will continue that Margherita Hack calls the" tight battle for sending abroad our brains ") and Elizabeth Calari , social cooperatives, the program manager for the PD of Bologna (" We need a minimum income insert, bold proposals for increasing the number of those who can not stay longer in the labor market "). In

room Andrea De Maria, secretary of the PD.

He played the final speech Salvatore Caronna, MEP.

Caronna : Very interesting initiative that has unusual Casadeipensieri dared to speak of the contents, do a seminar in the electoral campaign.
Just as the idea of \u200b\u200bappealing to the role and make associations.
It 's a good thing, is to give voice to regain confidence, to go beyond the propaganda.
must not only being influenced by events. Delors said: "We live in the cult of the immediate" Especially in politics. But you have to rebuild a larger size, say that problems, including Bologna, form part of broader contexts, such as Europe. Emilia
The problem is not his past but the future. We are at the top of each indicator in Europe. This
about the fact that there would be a class totally incapable of ruling.
I do not understand the terms of the controversy that has opened on the role of Commissioner in Bologna.
Commissioner is doing its job and parties but also the PD do their job.
After the regional vote, it must also open a new phase in regional policies, as has already programs Errani, who see a strong role of the territories, a stronger role in Bologna.
why the city of Bologna is the metropolitan context, if you unplug it limps, comes back.
We expect very tough years in the economic and social field.
need a party that does not always take the side by the need to follow the wave. All over Europe, have recently left backward at the very time when our ideas take up the course, as the critique of liberalism and marketism.
In the second half of the '90s has lost a great opportunity. The Sinister ruled the greater part of Europe, but were perceived as simple improvements in selection and policies of the Right.
not enough to fix what he does right, we must once again on equality and work, with great force.
need a Left to say, in today's society, the need for equality and redistribution.
Or this type of incident or possible increase in serious authoritarian twist.
In Europe, where we witness the rise explicitly neo-fascist forces.
The PD is an important political force, can make mistakes, but it remains crucial to ensure a good policy for the Emilia-Romagna, Bologna, to give them new results, to keep pace with modernity without folding.
