Moniuszko's coat of arms, Herb Krzywda

Stanisław Moniuszko Herb Krzywda (born May 5, 1819 in Ubiel near Minsk , † June 4, 1872 in Warsaw , Congress Poland ) was a Polish nobleman , composer , conductor and teacher . His compositional work mainly includes songs and operas , many of which are full of patriotic folk melodies by the founders of Poland-Lithuania . He is known as the "father of the Polish National Opera". The history painter Jan Czesław Moniuszko was his son.

Life

Organ in St. Peter and Paul (Vilnius) , on which Moniuszko played for years

Born into a noble Polish-Armenian family of landowners, Moniuszko showed musical talent at an early age and took private music lessons with Karl August Freyer in Warsaw from 1827 to 1830 and then continued his musical training in Minsk . From 1837 to 1839 he studied composition at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin with Carl Friedrich Rungenhagen , director of the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin , and received lessons in choral conducting from him. During this time Moniuszko studied the main works of classical music and their performance practices. He had surprising early success in Berlin when he performed Three Songs based on words by the Polish writer Adam Mickiewicz . Some of his songs, which he composed as a student in Berlin, have been published by Bote & Bock and have received positive reviews from music critics.

House in Vilnius , where Moniuszko lived from 1839–1858.

After three years in Berlin, he returned to Vilnius in 1839 to marry Aleksandra Müller. There he got a job as an organist and worked as a private piano accompanist. He often had to struggle with financial difficulties after having had to support a family with 10 children thanks to a happy married life, plus carers (18 people at the table every day). He made great contributions to music in the Vilnius region; Stage performances of large choral works such as the Mozart Requiem , excerpts from Joseph Haydn's The Creation and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Paulus . And Moniuszko also performed well-known orchestral works by Spontini , Mendelssohn and Ludwig van Beethoven .

During this time he met the novelist Józef Ignacy Kraszewski and the comedian Aleksander Fredro , who stimulated his interest in dramatic music. Around 1840 Moniuszko began to compose intensively, writing his first operas and other stage works as well as sacred music and secular cantatas . Around this time he began one of his most popular works, the 12-volume Śpiewnik domowy (house songbook) for piano and voice, 268 songs to poems of his era.

During his life Moniuszko traveled several times to Saint Petersburg , where his concerts were well received. There Michail Glinka and Alexander Dargomyschski showed great appreciation for Moniuszko's talent; Moniuszko became Dargomyschski's friend and dedicated his fantastic overture Bajka to him . In Petersburg Moniuszko met greats like Mili Balakirew , Mussorgsky and Alexander Serow ; his style of music was appreciated by Hans von Bülow . Moniuszko was the mentor of the Russian composer César Cui . His visit to Warsaw in 1848, where he met Jozef Sikorski, the future editor of the most important Polish music journal Ruch Muzyczny (Music Movement), Oskar Kolberg and Włodzimierz Wolski (1824–1882), the Polish writer and future librettist of his, was decisive for his career famous opera, Halka .

Father of the Polish National Opera

In 1848 Moniuszko privately conducted the premiere of the first version of his opera Halka (opera in two acts) in Vilnius ; It took 10 years for the political situation to calm down enough to be able to put a nationally themed opera for a second performance. After the triumph of the second version of Halka (opera in four acts) at the Warsaw premiere on January 1, 1858, he toured France with the help of the pianist Maria Kalergis, where he met Daniel-François-Esprit Auber and Gioachino Rossini in Paris . After a visit to Berlin , he met the Czech national composer Bedřich Smetana in Prague , who was preparing the Prague premiere of his opera Halka there. Ultimately, Moniuszko also visited Weimar and Franz Liszt there .

Teatr Wielki Warsaw
Stanislaw Moniuszko

On August 1, 1858, Moniuszko was appointed chief conductor of the Opera Narodowa (Polish National Opera) in the Teatr Wielki in Warsaw . During the first year he managed to put one of his operas on the repertoire (Flis) and for the following 15 years in office he conducted almost exclusively his own compositions. Hoping that the Parisians would include one of his operas in their program, Moniuszko returned to France in 1862 . There was no success. Due to the change in political conditions in the wake of the Polish January Uprising , which was unfavorable for artistic activities abroad, he returned home early. In 1864 Moniuszko began to teach harmony , counterpoint and composition at the Warsaw Conservatory , where he led the choir. His students there were u. a. Zygmunt Noskowski and Henryk Jarecki. In 1865 the world premiere of his new opera Straszny Dwór enjoyed an enthusiastic reception and proved a success comparable to that of Halka . He was appointed professor of composition and music theory at the Warsaw Conservatory .

From Halka's success to his other operatic works such as 1858 Flis (Der Flößer) / 1860 Hrabina (The Countess) / 1861 Verbum nobile and most importantly 1865 Straszny Dwór (The Ghost Castle): the general characteristics of all these works are librettos, which - in spite of the performing aristocracy - emphasize Polish customs and traditions and maintain and promote patriotic feelings during the time of the national struggle . The importance of Halka for national culture is proven by the fact that the city opera house was reopened with it in autumn 1945 after the establishment of the Polish administration in Wroclaw .

Stanisław Moniuszko died of a heart attack on June 4, 1872 and was buried in the historically important Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw.

music

Moniuszko's autograph of 4 bars of a polonaise

In Moniuszko's Grove Music entry it says: Like Glinka in Russia, Erkel in Hungary, and Smetana in the Czech lands, Moniuszko has become associated above all with the concept of a national style in opera. Moniuszko's operas and music as a whole are representative of 19th century Romanticism , in which the composer makes extensive use of arias , recitatives, and ensembles that play a major role in his operas. Straszny Dwór is an exception , where beautifully placed chorus parts demonstrate Moniuszko's compositional mastery of writing for many voices. The source of the Moniuszko melodies and rhythmic grids are often found in Polish folklore. One of the most obvious Polish aspects of his music lies in the form he uses, including popular and upscale dances such as polonaise and mazurka , as well as folk melodies and dances such as Kujawiak and Krakowiak . The most important of these choral works are the cantatas Sonety krymskie (Krim-Sonnete) and Widma (Phantoms) on the texts of Adam Mickiewicz , the leading writer of Polish Romanticism.

His 12-volume series Śpiewnik domowy is as remarkable in terms of quantity as it is of quality. Although many songs are simple, mostly strophic, some adopt some form of dialogue or ballad, and the majority of his songs attest to Moniuszko's originality and melodic ingenuity. The origin of Moniuszko's melodic and rhythmic patterns often lie in the Polish and Belarusian musical folklore; Most of the texts set to music are by prominent Polish writers, many of whom trace their roots in what is now Belarus . E.g .: Mickiewicz , Pol , Kraszewski , Syrokomla , Lenartowicz , Czeczot , Odyniec , Dunin-Marcinkiewicz . Many of his songs became extremely popular, they took on the character of folk songs. Moniuszko was therefore called "the Polish Schubert " by contemporaries .

An English version of the opera Straszny Dwór (The Haunted Manor) was created in 1970 by students of the Operatic society at the University of Bristol and premiered; this version has since been performed by the semi-professional British opera company Opera South , especially in 2001. This company also presented the world premiere of the newly created English version of the Moniuszko opera Verbum Nobile in 2002 .

The Pocket Opera Company in San Francisco presented Donald Pippin's English language version of the opera Straszny Dwór (The Haunted Manor) in 2009 and the Polish national opera Halka (Helen) in 2010.

Impact and Legacy

Bust of Stanisław Moniuszko in the old town of Vilnius , Lithuania

Stanisław Moniuszko's funeral ceremony became a national event. To this day his music is widely acclaimed in Poland and generally accepted as a model for Slavic music. From statues to parks named after him, music competitions, music groups, and music institutions - the name Stanisław Moniuszko has a meaning throughout Polish society. It is printed on postage stamps , banknotes and other official Polish documents.

The world is hardly aware of Moniuszko's work and then only as a marginal phenomenon - like many other Polish artists of the time, Stanisław Moniuszko directed his patriotic, hopeful works primarily to his own people as a reflection of the depressing reality that the fatherland was created by the three partitions of Poland disappeared from the map of Europe. Artists like Stanisław Moniuszko were therefore a thorn in the side of the Poles' Russian , Prussian and Austrian policies, which were strictly followed by the Russian , Prussian and Austrian policies. It became law not to observe them, to defame them or to strictly refuse to promote them. The compositions of Moniuszko therefore hardly had a chance of attracting greater attention outside Polish society, similar to the works of the national poet Adam Mickiewicz , which are not to be found in world literature today, but Moniuszko composed numerous songs for his texts. Fryderyk Chopin, on the other hand, was fortunate to be able to hide Polish motifs under the strong originality of his works (mostly piano compositions, no operas or hardly any songs whose texts could have offended) from the watchful eyes of the dividing powers.

Since the 1990s, Stanisław Moniuszko has been regarded in Belarus as an important figure in Belarusian culture (against the background that Belarus as part of the Poland-Lithuanian Union was strongly influenced by Poland). Moniuszko's operas have therefore been regularly performed at the Национальный Академический Большой Театр Оперы (Belarusian National Opera) and the Stanisław Moniuszko Museum is now there.

Piano Concertos; Chopin) (Kreisig 30, II-11) ( Memento of October 29, 2007 in the Internet Archive ): But in addition - and for the favorable clash of time and circumstances - fate did one more thing to make Chopin recognizable and interesting before everyone else, a strong original nationality, namely Polish. And as this now goes in black mourning robes, it grips us even more violently in the pensive artist. Hail to him that neutral Germany did not approve of him at first and that his genius immediately carried him off to one of the world's capitals, where he could freely write poetry and be angry. After all know the tremendous selbstherrschende Monarch in the north ( n. Is meant Friedrich Wilhelm III. ), As in Chopin's works, in simple ways his Mazurkas, he faces a dangerous enemy, he would prohibit music. Chopin's works are cannons sunk under flowers.
