	Christoph Willibald Gluck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gluck was born in Erasbach, Upper Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany to a forester in the service of a nobleman.
		Gluck's idea was to make the drama of the work more important than the star singers who performed it, and to do away with recitative which broke up the action.
		Christoph Willibald Gluck is buried in the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna, Austria.

		Gluck had for the first time deserted Metastasio for Raniero Calzabigi, who, as Vernon Lee suggests, was in all probability the immediate cause of the formation of Glucks new ideas, as he was a hot-headed dramatic theorist with a violent dislike for Metastasio, who had hitherto dominated the whole sphere of operatic libretto.
		Glucks indisputable dramatic power might be plausibly dismissed as irrelevant by upholders of music for musics sake, even if Piccinni himself had not chosen, as he did, to assimilate every feature in Clucks style that he could understand.
		Glucks next work was Iphiginie en Tauride, the success of which finally disposed of Piccinni, who produced a work on the same subject at the same time and who is said to have acknowledged Glucks superiority.

	poeticvoices.com July 1997 Book Review: Meadowlands by Louise Gluck (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Gluck in her lyric "Nostos" writes, "We look at the world once, in childhood./ The rest is memory." D.H. Lawrence expanded the meaning of "nostalgia" to include a longing for a past period.
		Gluck writes, "the male believed that love/ was what one felt in one's heart/ the femal believed/ love was what one did." Surely, these contrasting attitudes lead the couple to a crisis in their marriage.
		Gluck's lack of attention to clear designations and links suggests she follows Shelley's view of the poet as "a nightingale who sits in the darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude." In spite of the difficulties and the classical references, I heartily recommend this book.

		Christoph Willibald Gluck (July 2, 1714 – November 15, 1787) was a German composer.
		Gluck was born in, Upper Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany to a forester in the service of a nobleman.
		After a move to Paris in 1773, where he enjoyed the protection of Queen Marie Antoinette, and where and several of his other works were produced, two camps amongst music critics emerged: one praising Gluck's new style, the other deprecating him, and instead supporting the more traditional works of Niccolò Piccinni.

		While Gluck didn't keep his two interests entirely compartmentalized he studied and wrote about a wide range of Jewish music for the most part the sounds of the synagogue remained in their place of origin.
		In particular, Gluck was obsessed with memories of his grandparents' synagogue: the sounds of the cantor's voice, the rhythmic prayers of the congregation, and the rustling of the prayerbooks, which all served as "aural wallpaper" in his mind.
		The release of Gluck's newest recording coincides with a period of transition in his life, and as such can be seen as symbolizing a new beginning.

	Berlioz and Gluck: includes full scores of Gluck which may be viewed and played online
		Gluck himself was partly to blame: in Berlioz’s view he had betrayed his own genius through frequently careless orchestral writing (for example he often did not bother to write out the viola parts properly, and allowed them to double the bass part even if this resulted in harmonic nonsense).
		In the Soirées de l’orchestre, Gluck’s music forms the climax of the sequence of evenings: in the 22nd Soirée, Iphigénie en Tauride is performed by the musicians with religious respect, and in the 23rd they are still under the impact of the great work.
		In the 25th and final evening which introduces Euphonia, the imaginary city devoted solely to music, Gluck is the object of a cult: a special festival is celebrated in his honour, and it is an exceptional distinction for even the greatest singers to be allowed to perform in the title roles.

		Handel's well-known saying that Gluck "knew no more counterpoint than his cook" must be taken in connexion with the less well known fact that that cook was an excellent bass singer who performed in many of Handel's own operas.
		Amongst the opponents of Gluck were not only the admirers of Italian vocalization and sweetness, but also the adherents of the earlier French school, who refused to see in the new composer the legitimate successor of Lulli and Rameau.
		Gluck's indisputable dramatic power might be plausibly dismissed as irrelevant by upholders of music for music's sake, even if Piccinni himself had not chosen, as he did, to assimilate every feature in Gluck's style that he could understand.

		Gluck's overture to his opera "Iphigenia in Aulis" ("Iphigenie en Aulide") is a little more than a century and a half old.
		The grand flourish of brass and strings, several times repeated, pompous in the manner of the French classic drama (Gluck's subject: came to him from the theatre of Racine via the opera libretto of Du Roullet), is like unto the commentary of a Greek chorus.
		These measures are constructed reverently upon phrases already heard, returning to the music of the opening, concluding with the motive of the gods decree ominously muttering in the basses.

		As Gluck, a thoughtful-looking frizzy-haired woman whose glasses give her a scholarly appearance, glimpses at her family history, she encounters relatives still living in Hungary, including a cousin who left the sect to join the Communist party, and the remnants of pre-Holocaust Jewish life.

		In 1773, Gluck went to Paris, where his first serious opera with a French libretto, Iphigénie en Aulide (1774), was performed.
		Eventually, Gluck's emphasis on dramatic impact and musical simplicity became incorporated into the French operatic tradition, and his influence on later composers was considerable.

		Gluck now decided to apply his new ideals to French opera, and in 1774 gave Iphigénie en Aulide (as well as Orphée, a French revision of Orfeo) in Paris.
		It was a triumph, but also set the ground for a controversy between Gluck and Italian music (as represented by Piccinni) which flared up in 1777 when his Armide was given, following a French version of Alceste (1776).
		Gluck's opera reforms - they are not exclusively his own, for several other composers (notably Jommelli and Traetta, both like Gluck French-influenced) had been working along similar lines - are outlined in the preface he wrote, probably with Calzabigi's help, to the published score of Alceste.

		In 1921, Zimbalist suggested that they tour together, and she welcomed the challenge, telling the press that she was returning to performance because she was "fated to sing." Audiences gave her a rousing welcome and some critics were kind, but recurring bouts of illness and attendant vocal mishaps made the venture less than satisfactory.
