导师介绍
Trippett
剑桥大学 University of Cambridge
终身正教授&硕士项目主任
Trippett是一名音乐学家和文化历史学家。目前任职于剑桥大学音乐系，是一名终身正教授，同时也是该系研究生项目主任同时也是Christ's College音乐研究项目主任。Trippett还曾任职于布里斯托尔大学、伦敦国王学院。Trippett教授的研究重点是十九世纪艺术的思想史、理查德-瓦格纳和技术哲学。其他兴趣点包括李斯特和后古典主义的魏玛，表演理论和即兴与作曲之间的“灰色地带”，以及数字时代的后人道主义和音乐创造力研究。Trippett教授非常欢迎对这些领域感兴趣的潜在博士申请学生成为他的博士生。Trippett教授在翻译了卡尔-斯通普夫的《音乐的起源》（OUP 2012）之后，通过他的第一部专著《瓦格纳的旋律》（CUP 2013）着重研究了与瓦格纳的著作和音乐有关的旋律理论的文化和科学历史。Trippett教授发布过大量的研究评论文章和媒体工作记录，他在研究和教学中，从最广泛的跨学科意义上对待音乐及其文化，并纳入了文化和思想史、音乐理论和科学史以及媒介性和技术哲学的观点，进而进行辩证分析。
I am a musicologist and cultural historian. Before coming to Cambridge, I taught at the Universities of Bristol, King’s College London and Cambridge itself.
My research focuses on nineteenth-century intellectual history, Richard Wagner, and the philosophy of technology. Other interests include Franz Liszt and post-Classical Weimar, performance theory and the grey area between improvisation and composition, as well as posthumanism and musical creativity in the digital age. I welcome applications from potential Ph.D. students in these areas.
Following an edited translation of Carl Stumpf’s The Origins of Music (OUP 2012), my first monograph, Wagner’s Melodies (CUP 2013), examines the cultural and scientific history of melodic theory in relation to Wagner's writings and music. Other publications include editions and translations, as well as research and review articles, and some media work.
In my research and teaching, I approach music and its cultures in the widest interdisciplinary sense, incorporating perspectives of cultural and intellectual history, music theory and the history of science, and as well as mediality and the philosophy of technology.
My latest project, funded by an ERC Starting Grant, is entitled 'Sound and Materialism in the 19th Century.' This began in September 2015 and examines how a scientific-materialist conception of sound was formed alongside a dominant culture of romantic idealism. It draws to a close in 2021, and has hosted four postdoctoral scholars--Edward Gillin, Melle Kromhaut, Melissa van Drie and Stephanie Probst--since 2016. My monograph, on the agon of idealist and physicalist conceptions of sound, is forthcoming.
Alongside this, I recently completed a critical edition and an orchestrated performing edition of Franz Liszt's Italian opera, Sardanapalo. This received its world premiere in August 2018, and a recording was released in 2019 to critical acclaim.
Major prizes for research include the Lewis Lockwood Award and the Alfred Einstein Award of the American Musicological Society, the Bruno Nettl Prize of the Society for Ethnomusicology, the Donald Tovey Memorial Prize of the University of Oxford, a Deems Taylor Award of the American Society for Composers, Authors, and Publishers, and a Philip Leverhulme Prize in History.
项目背景
1600年前后，歌剧这一体裁因意大利卡梅拉塔社团复兴古希腊悲剧的愿景而诞生。迄今，歌剧的发展已经经历了四百余年，积累了大批经典剧目，也成就了诸多歌剧作曲家、歌剧院、歌剧城市和国家。歌剧的发展经历了歌剧本身艺术方面的变化、目睹了歌剧演唱方式和风格的演变，也经历了在不同国家和地区发展的兴衰。无论是在古代封建王权时代亦或是在现当代国家时期，歌剧和歌剧院都象征着无上的权力。在音乐研究领域，学者们早已意识到歌剧是解读社会权力的重要环节。同时，歌剧的创作、演出、表演、风格乃至历史一直是音乐学家和歌剧研究相关学者与从业人员关注的重心，相关探讨也积累了大量相关研究成果。然而，随着时代社会环境（政治、经济、科技文化等诸多方面）的变化，与歌剧相关的方方面面都在新时代发生了翻天覆地的变化。这些变化让歌剧研究领域挑战与机遇并存。自歌剧研究于二十世纪末进入音乐学领域核心以来，英美学术圈一直引领着歌剧研究领域的发展，占据着歌剧研究的前沿位置。进入二十一世纪，全世界的政治、经济和文化格局呈现出极大的变化，英美歌剧研究较传统研究成果呈现较大的差异和新趋势。近十年来，英美学界歌剧研究成果呈现出来的最大特点便是歌剧研究的高度跨学科性。这种跨学科性已经超出了歌剧各重要组成要素（音乐、舞蹈、媒体等）之间的相关研究，开始向一些泛歌剧要素（如社会学、艺术管理、生态地理学等）相关研究扩展。歌剧研究也是未来泛音乐类研究的重要组成部分，跨学科趋势下的歌剧研究由此也获得了全新的巨大活力。
项目介绍
西方传统的歌剧已有400多年的历史。 从 16 世纪末和 17 世纪初的意大利宫廷开始，到 18 世纪初传播到整个欧洲，然后随着欧洲的殖民化而传播到全球。 矛盾的是，它的早期故事不是关于当代欧洲，而更多的是神话中的欧洲或者是想象中的异域。本项目将通过对伟大的作曲家和表演艺术家的作品案例分析，结合社会学与历史学的相关研究，带领学生探索欧洲早期歌剧的起源及其背后在社会中的实际意思，引导同学们体会何为歌剧、歌剧如何传播、其背后的真实故事和早期歌剧在舞台范围外的“神秘力量”。项目将以论文作为最终产出。
Opera in the Western tradition is over 400 years old. Starting in Italian courts in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, it spread across Europe by the early 18th century – and then across the globe with European colonisation. Paradoxically, its early stories were not about contemporary Europe, but instead either about a mythical European past or imaginary versions of exotic foreign lands. This course will explore the inception of opera in Europe through four questions, each of which will involve examination of works by significant composers and great performing artists:
1. Why opera?
Why was opera created in the late 16th century, and why did it take the form it did – dominated by recitative, rather than aria? Composer focus: Monteverdi
2. Why did it spread?
How did the commercialisation of opera in late 17th-century Venice pave the way for opera’s international spread? Composer focus: Cavalli
3. What were its stories?
Why did early opera focus on the mythological and the magical, as well as the exotic? How did it change in the late 17th century to early 18th century, and why? Composer focus: Handel
4. What was early opera’s power?
Why did audiences – including state rulers – become obsessed with opera? What did it offer that made audiences desperate for more? Singer focus: Anna Renzi, Faustina Bordoni, Francesca Cuzzoni, Farinelli
