Implicatures of Illeism

Speranza

M. Quinion writes in this week's "World Wide Words":

"Illeism is the habit of referring to oneself in the third person."

As "He is having a toothache" (example by Witters, or Wittgenstein, as Grice called him).

"Strictly speaking it refers to excessive use of the pronoun he, because it derives from ille, its Latin equivalent. That’s why it’s said like illy-ism."

It may be pointed out that "ille" was perhaps more of a DEMONSTRATIVE than a neutral pronoun?
Demontratives can be distal, medial, or proximate (this, that, yonder).

"It is most often found in books about Shakespeare’s plays, in particular Julius Caesar, in which characters often refer to themselves in the third person, a trick that Shakespeare took from Caesar’s own writings."

I wonder who he borrowed it from. I expect it wasn't CICERO!

 

"Characters in fiction sometimes refer to themselves in the third person, which can be an authorial device for indicating idiocy or overweening self-importance. Neither applies to Salman Rushdie’s new book, a record of the years he spent in hiding from the risk of retaliation by Muslims against The Satanic Verses. His book’s title is Joseph Anton, the pseudonym Rushdie took during this period; he distances himself from his alter ego by using the third person."

 

In a sort of Brechtian strategy "without much of an effect", as Joseph Anton agrees.

"Illeism was coined by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1809 as the inverse of egotism, a mark of which is overuse of the pronoun I."

Others prefer 'egoism'. Grice and I prefer self-interest! And that makes us "moral" for the whole point of morality is the balance between self-interest and so-called "benevolence". Grice was so fascinated with this that he makes 'conversational principles' of both! (Lectures on Conversation, Oxford, 1965).

 

"Coleridge also invented tuism, meaning to refer to oneself as thou (on occasion people then still used thou as a familiar second-person pronoun equivalent to French tu, from which he took the name). Tuism also means giving priority to the interests of other people rather than oneself: The professional’s attitude is or ought to be one of “tuism” — in other words, he is concerned, through beneficence coupled with integrity, to promote the interests of his clients. Ethics in Education, by David Fenner, 1999."

 

---- This may relate to so-called philosophies of dialogue alla Buber ("I and thou"). What Grice considers is the idea of the 'soul' as involving at least two departments: the judiciary and the executive -- and why not the legislative. So, the judiciary may utter a "tu" meant for the executive. (These reflections found in Grice, "Actions and Events", Pacific Philosophical Quarterly).

"The plural equivalent of illeism is nosism (from Latin nos, we), referring to oneself as we, something not much heard even from royalty these days (“We are not amused”)."

 

"However it’s often still called the royal we."

 

Or majestic 'we'. The point by Queen Victoria is often disimplicated. The idea would be to play on the implicature that _WE_ cannot logically be amused, since amusement is only the Queen can do herself. Cfr. Are you enjoying yourself, Mr. Wilde? "There's nothing else here to enjoy, Ma'am".

 

"It can also be the editorial we, since commentators like to use it in the hope that they will sound like spokespeople for the public, or at least the organisation for which they write. Nosisms can be heard from patronising doctors or nurses (“How are we feeling this morning? Any better?”) or in sarcastic comments (“Well, well! Aren’t we looking awfully chic tonight?”)."

 

It can also be Literal.

 

"We don't want it", said Tweedledum and Tweedledee in unison. In this case, it would be obtuse to say,

 

"By uttering, "We love it", Tweedledum and Tweedledee MEANT that they loved it. For "meaning" is by nature an 'idiosyncratic' phenomenon. So we need to analyse, separately, what Tweedledum meant and what Tweedledum meant. It's different with "Congress", of course.

 

Cheers.

Rossini and beyond: towards a catalogue raisonné of interpolated arias for singing lesson in "Barber of Seville"

Speranza

--- dall'A alla Z


The technical word here is INTERPOLATION, as one reads from the MET archive, for one occasion:

"The program did not specify the selection
sung by Sembrich during the Lesson Scene. On
all other occasions this season, when her
interpolation was listed, the soprano
invariably performed Voci di primavera (Strauss

There are various things to consider here:

* Rossini, obviously, had something in mind. And his aria is usually sung -- as IT SHOULD. The common practice seems to be this, and it is a BOTHER to have to change and provide criterion for choice.

* As a matter of fact, ROSSINI provided an 'alternate' aria, which is also sung occasionally.

* But then, the topic of this note, started: someone thought that she (ROSINA -- or was the soprano herself?) COULD sing 'something else' -- the implicature, in Grice's sense, apparently being that "Rossini's own aria" will not do.

* The custom seems to have been at one point to INTRODUCE something that NOTABLY contrasts with Rossini's style -- vide Review in Met archives for the earliest interpolations in this opera house.

And so on, including:

* NOTABLE ANECDOTES: why a soprano thought of this rather than that, and what effect the thing had in the 'history of music', as it were.

--

Etc.

I read from wiki:

"For the singing lesson in Act II [of Rossini, "Barber of Seville"]

sopranos have often inserted a song of their own choice. Pauline
Viardot began the practice of inserting Alabiev's "Nightingale". Callas
sung a cut-down version of Rossini's own "Contro un cor.""

Can we have a catalogue raisonné of that? I would be interested to survey the choices, along the years, with info on lyricist, composer, et al. Thanks for input!

QUI LA VOCE


In the Lesson Scene Galli-Curci sang "Qui la voce" from BELLINI, "I Puritani" and


HOME SWEET HOME
"Home sweet home" from "Clari" (Bishop).

HOME SWEET HOME. "Galli-Curci's best singing was reserved for the lesson scene in the last act. Here she sang the "Qui la voce" aria from "Puritani" with immense popular success. Then, waving the pseudo music-master from his seat at the piano, she moved to the instrument, and, following her custom, gave "Home, Sweet Home," in English."

"Again and again she was called upon to bow, and in vain the actors attempted to proceed with the scene. A male voice paused in the midst of a scarcely audible recitative, and applause burst out in another storm. Finally Gennaro Papi solved the situation and saved the recently emphasized no-encore rule in the face of the audience by starting the orchestra, and the opera went on to its gay end."

In the Lesson Scene Galli-Curci sang "Je suis Titania" from Mignon and "Home sweet home" from Clari (Bishop).

There was a real outburst of enthusiasm after she sang the polonaise from "Mignon" in the lesson scene. It is interesting to note that in this scene Rosina always sings something that was composed long after "II Barbiere di Siviglia." It would be a novel experiment for some Rosina to unearth an aria from some forgotten seventeenth century opera, in the later years of the century, for instance, when operas were full of vocal fireworks.


[In the Lesson Scene Galli-Curci sang Deh torna mio bene (Proch) and Home sweet home from Clari (Bishop).]

In the lesson scene she sang the antiquated variations of Proch in a dull and listless style except for the easy staccati and followed it with "Home Sweet Home," given in an equally pallid manner.

[In the Lesson Scene Galli-Curci sang Deh torna mio bene (Proch) and Home sweet home from Clari (Bishop).]

The lesson scene brought a captivating rendition of the "Shadow Song" from "Dinorah," followed by her own personally accompanied 'Home Sweet Home" in English. The distinctive and flower-petal quality of Galli-Curci's fragrant voice was in rich evidence, lifting and winging its way into memories of the listeners. Where in all the garden of birds, is there such another as this human heaven-soaring songster?

[Throughout this season, the aria sung by Rosina in the Lesson Scene was Contro un cor.]


[In the Lesson Scene Sembrich sang Deh torna mio bene (Proch), Wiegenlied (Ries) and Ich liebe dich (Foerster).]

"It was in the music lesion scene that Mme. Sembrich most thoroughly captivated her hearers last evening and in that, of course, the music was not only not Rossini's but was utterly unlike Rossini in every feature. The song and variations, by Proch, first sung in this country by Mme. Peschka-Leutner 14 years ago, was the first selection introduced by Mme. Sembrich in this division of the opera, and the dazzling brilliancy of her execution of this bit of music teacher's work, and the ease with which she overcame the difficulties of its most bewildering bars fully merited the wild applause which followed it. Afterwards she sang, with much grace and tenderness, two German love songs."

[In the Lesson Scene Sembrich sang Proch's "Deh torna mio bene," the Queen of the Night aria from Die Zauberflöte "Gli angui d'inferno," and "Someday" an English song by Wellings.]

In the lesson scene SEMBRICH sang Proch's aria and variations, and the grand scene from "Il Flauto Magico," arousing the greatest enthusiasm.

As for the extra songs SEMBRICH sang, according to time-honored custom, in the scene, we should have preferred almost anything to Proch's "Variations," and that too, too trite "Some Day!" (Beautifully sung as they were).

[In the Lesson Scene Patti sang Eckert's "Swiss Echo Song," and then supplemented this selection with "Home sweet home" and "The Last Rose of Summer."

[In the Lesson Scene, Sembrich sang Strauss's "Voci di primavera," which had been dedicated to her by the composer.

[In the Lesson Scene, Sembrich sang Voci di primavera (Strauss), Ah non giunge from La Sonnambula and The Maiden's Wish (Chopin).]

SEMBRICH chose for her songs of display the waltz, "Voci di Primavera" by Strauss; Chopin's "Mère la Birding," which she sang in Polish, accompanying herself at the piano in a most musicianly way, and "Ah non Guinge" from "Sonnambula."

[In the Lesson Scene Munsel sang L'Inutile Precauzione by Pietro Cimara. The arietta, using the words from the opera, was written in 1941 at the suggestion of Bidú Sayao.]

[In the Lesson Scene Sayao sang Bel raggio from Semiramide.]

[In the Lesson Scene Reggiani sang Il Carnevale di Venezia (Benedict).

[In the Lesson Scene Antoine sang Charmant oiseau from La Perle du Brésil (David).]

[In the Lesson Scene Pons sang Ah vous dirai-je maman from Le Toréador (Adam).]


[In the Lesson Scene HORNE sang "La mia pace, la mia calma," an alternate aria composed by Rossini for this scene]

[In the Lesson Scene Horne sang Tanti affetti from La Donna del Lago by Rossini.]

"Contro un cor che accende amore," (Victoria de los Angeles) the aria that Rossini wrote to be sung at this point.

"It is such a wonderful display-piece and so dramatically effective that one wonders how the custom of interpolating another aria here was ever started."


[In the Lesson Scene Berger sang Pur dicesti (Lotti).]

[In the Lesson Scene Peters sang "Quel bonheur je respire" from Fra Diavolo in Italian.]


[In the Lesson Scene Munsel sang O luce di quest'anima from Linda di Chamounix.]
[In the Lesson Scene Pons sang La fauvette avec ses petits from Zemire et Azor (Grétry, La Forge).]

[In the Lesson Scene Sayao sang Deh vieni non tardar from Le Nozze
di Figaro.]



[In the Lesson Scene Tourel sang Nacqui all'affanno from La Cenerentola.]
[In the Lesson Scene Pons sang Villanelle (Dell'Acqua).]


[In the Lesson Scene Pons sang Où va la jeune Indoue from Lakmé.]

[In the Lesson Scene Pons sang Villanelle (Dell'Acqua) and Ach ich liebte from Die Entführung aus dem Serail.]

[In the Lesson Scene Pons sang Deh torna mio bene (Proch) and Lo Hear the Gentle Lark (Bishop).]

[In the Lesson Scene Morgana sang Ô légère hirondelle from Mireille.]

[In the Lesson Scene Elvira de Hidalgo sang the Shadow Song from Dinorah and Al pensar en el dueño de mis amores from Las Hijas del Zebedeo (Chapí).]

[In the Lesson Scene Ottein sang L'incantatrice (Arditi).]

[In the Lesson Scene Cora Chase sang Je veux vivre from Roméo et Juliette.]

[In the Lesson Scene Barrientos sang Ah non sai qual pena (Mozart).]


[In the Lesson Scene Hempel sang An der schönen blauen Donau (Strauss).]


[In the Lesson Scene Nielsen may have sung Parla (Arditi), the selection scheduled by Hempel, who was replaced as Rosina by Nielsen.]

[In the Lesson Scene Hempel sang Il Bacio (Arditi).]

[In the Lesson Scene De Pasquali sang Grande Valse (Venzano).]



[In the Lesson Scene Lipkowska sang The Nightingale (Alabiev, Rôze).]

In the Lesson Scene Sembrich sang "Voci di primavera" by Strauss, "Ah non giunge" from La Sonnambula, and a Mazurka by Chopin, the latter with her own piano accompaniment.]

[n the Lesson Scene, Sembrich sang Strauss's "Voci di primavera" and "Ah, non giunge" from La Sonnambula. She followed these selections by going to the piano and playing and singing Chopin's "The Maiden's Wish."]


[In the Lesson Scene Sembrich sang Strauss's "Voci di primavera" and Taubert's "Ich muss nun einmal singen." In response to the audience's demands for more, she took a seat at the piano and sang a Chopin song, playing her own accompaniment.]

[In the Lesson Scene Sembrich sang Là là là air chéri from L'Étoile du Nord (Meyerbeer).]


[In the Lesson Scene Sembrich sang the Bolero from I Vespri Siciliani.]

HOME SWEET HOME

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble there's no place like home! A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which, seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere: Home! Home! sweet, sweet Home! |: There's no place like Home! :| 2. I gaze on the moon as I tread the drear wild And feel that my mother now thinks of her child As she looks on the moon from our own cottage door Through the woodbine whose fragrance shall cheer me no more. Chorus:

3. An exile from home splendor dazzles in vain Oh, give me my low, thatched cottage again, The birds singing gaily that come at my call, Give me them with that peace of mind, dearer than all. 4. How sweet 'tis to sit neath a fond father's smile, And the cares of a mother to soothe and beguile. Let others delight 'mid new pleasures to roam, But give me, oh give me the pleasures of home. 5. To thee I'll return overburdened with care, The hearts dearest solace will smile on me there No more from that cottage again will I roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.

LAST ROSE OF SUMMER, The (PATTI)
The Last Rose of Summer is a poem by Irish poet Thomas Moore, who was a friend of Byron and Shelley. Moore wrote it in 1805 while at Jenkinstown Park in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Sir John Stevenson set the poem to its widely-known melody, and this was published in a collection of Moore's work called Irish Melodies (1807–34). In Ireland, it is claimed that the melody was composed by George Alexander Osborne, a composer from Limerick City.
Ludwig Van Beethoven composed Theme and Three variations for flute and piano, Op 105, based on the song late in his life.Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy composed a Fantasia in E major, Op. 15, based on the song (1827?, publ. London, 1830). Friedrich von Flotow uses the song in his opera "Martha," premiered in 1847 in Vienna. It is a favorite air ("Letzte Rose") of the character Lady Harriet. The interpolation works, and indeed the song helped popularize the opera. (According to the 1954 Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, the opera grew from an 1844 ballet-pantomime, "Lady Henriette," for which Flotow wrote the music to Act One. Burgmuller and Deldevez wrote the rest of the music; "Lady Henriette" was produced in Paris.)
It has been arranged into a set of extremely difficult variations by Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst for the violin.
The song is mentioned by James Joyce in Ulysses.^[1] It is also mentioned by Wilkie Collins in The Moonstone.
Opera singer Luisa Tetrazzini began with the song in her free public concert in the streets of San Francisco, California on Christmas Eve, 1910. ^[2]
As well as being a common phrase^{[citation needed]}, the poem is alluded to in the Grateful Dead song "Black Muddy River".
Clannad released a rendition of the song on their album Crann Úll. Sarah Brightman recorded the song for her album The Trees They Grow So High. It was made popular in the twenty-first century in a recording by Charlotte Church and the Irish Tenors.
It is sung in the musical group Celtic Woman by Méav Ní Mhaolchatha and Hayley Westenra. Chloë Agnew's solo version is recorded on her self-titled album. In the Celtic Woman: A New Journey tours, she sang duets with Ní Mhaolchatha, Westenra, and the vocalist-guitarist of the same group, Lynn Hilary. Agnew and Hilary are performing the same version in the Isle Of Hope tour. Ní Mhaolchatha's solo version is included in her Celtic Journey album.
In the 1941 film Here Comes Mr. Jordan it is the character Joe Pendelton’s inability to play “The Last Rose of Summer” on his saxophone anything other than badly which allows him to prove that he is alive in another man’s body; all the other characters think he is the dead man from whom he got the body, but when he plays the sax for his old boxing manager, he uses the same wrong note in the melody as he always did, and which thus confirms his story of coming back from the after-life.
In the 16th (final) episode of the 6th season of the UK Channel 4 television show Shameless, the song was sung by Jamie Maguire (played by Aaron McCusker) at the funeral of his sister Mandy Maguire (Samantha Siddall).
In the 1995 film An Awfully Big Adventure, the song is used as P.L. O'Hara's theme music and is a recurrent musical motif in the film's score.
The song was featured in Ric Burns' documentary series, New York: A Documentary Film, broadcast on PBS in the USA.
The song was used in the game Endless Ocean: Blue World as the theme of the Depths area of the Zahhab Region. It is also playable on the jukebox that the player can purchase in-game.
Off their 1977 album "Sin After Sin", Judas Priest recorded a song entitled "Last Rose of Summer". Written by Rob Halford and Glenn Tipton, the song is all about "unyielding love". A 1977 3 hr. Science Fiction BBC radio production written by Stephen Gallagher.
Fionnuala Sherry of the New Instrumental duo Secret Garden released a version of the song titled "The Last Rose" on her solo debut album "Songs From Before".
February 2011, the song was featured in FOX TV series,"The Chicago Code" Season 1 Episode 2, "Hog Butcher". This traditional Irish song was sung by Jason Bayle, as the uniformed officer during the memorial service of fallen Chicago police officer Antonio Betz.
Laura Wright recorded a version, featured on her album The Last Rose (2011)



'Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one!
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly I scatter,
Thy leaves o'er the bed,
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow,
When friendships decay,
And from Love's shining circle
The gems drop away.
When true hearts lie withered,
And fond ones are flown,
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?

COME TO THE BALL

 

---------------------- PRINCIPE CARLO – G. Carvey.

 

Yes, we will come to the ball

none but will answer the call

all of us long for the waltz that whirls

dashing brave lovers and dainty girls

ah, let us come to the ball

there will be joy for us all

chance for a dance

and romance

at the ball -- at the ball.

Your golden shoes day

Speranza




I've got a creed, for ev'ry need,
so easy that it must succeed.
I'll set it down for you to read, so
please, take heed.
Keep out the gloom! Let in the sun!
That's my advice to ev'ryone.
It's only once we pass this way, so
day, by day.


Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky, you
mustn't sigh, and you mustn't cry. Just
spread a little happiness as you, go,
by. Please try!
What's the use of worrying and feeling blue? When
days are long, keep smiling through, and
spread a little happiness till dreams, come,
true. Surely you'll be
wise to make the best of ev'ry
blues day. Don't you rea-
lise you'll find next Monday or next
Tuesday your golden shoes day?
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky, you
mustn't sigh, and you mustn't cry. Just
spread a little happiness as you, go, by.


The rule is old, so I've been told,
but still it's worth its weight in gold.
It pays you back a thousand fold, So
be, enroll'd,
upon the lists, of optimists,
and disregard the pessimists,
this life is short, so try to smile, each
lit-tle while.

[edit] Pantomime

Cinderella debuted as a pantomime on stage at the Drury Lane Theatre, London in 1904 and at the Adelphi Theatre in London in 1905.

Phyllis Dare, aged 14 or 15, starred in the latter. In 1926, Cinderella was caught on film in the London Palladium, starring Lennie Dean in the lead role.

In the traditional pantomime version

the opening scene is set in a forest with a hunt in

sway and it is here that Cinderella first meets Prince Charming and his "right-hand man" Dandini, whose name and character come from Gioachino Rossini opera (La Cenerentola).

Cinderella mistakes Dandini for the Prince and the Prince for Dandini.

Her father, Baron Hardup, is under the thumb of his two stepdaughters, the Ugly sisters, and has a servant named Buttons, who is Cinderella's friend.

Throughout the pantomime, the Baron is continually harassed by the Broker's Men (often named after current politicians) for outstanding rent.

The Fairy Godmother must magically create a coach (from a pumpkin), footmen (from mice), a coach driver (from a frog), and a beautiful dress (from rags) for Cinderella to go to the ball.

However, she must return by midnight, as it is then that the spell ceases.
A version debuted in the USA at the El Portal Theatre, NoHo in 2010. It was produced by Lythgoe Family Productions of So You Think You Can Dance fame and MPI Entertainment.

Musical theatre -- INCLUDING OPERA or "melodramma".

Cinderella: The Musical by Landon Parks (book & lyrics) and Ioannis Kourtis (music) is an English language musical stage show written in 2009, and based on the opera Cendrillon by Jules Massenett.

Cinderella by Rodgers and Hammerstein was produced for television three times:

Cinderella (1957) features Julie Andrews as Cinderella, Jon Cypher, Kaye Ballard, Alice Ghostley and Edie Adams (broadcast in color, but only black-and-white kinescopes exist today).

Cinderella (1965) features Lesley Ann Warren as Cinderella, Stuart Damon as the Prince, Ginger Rogers as the Queen, Walter Pidgeon as the King, Celeste Holm as the Fairy Godmother and Jo Van Fleet as the Stepmother.

Cinderella (1997) features Brandy as Cinderella, Paolo Montalbán, Whitney Houston, Whoopi Goldberg, Victor Garber, Bernadette Peters, and Jason Alexander.

---

The Rodgers and Hammerstein version has also been staged live at times.

A successful version ran in 1958 at the London Coliseum with a cast including Tommy Steele, Yana, Jimmy Edwards, Kenneth Williams and Betty Marsden.

This version was augmented with several other Rodgers and Hammerstein's songs plus a song written by Tommy Steele, "You and Me" which he sang with Jimmy Edwards.

Bobby Howell was the musical director.

A 2005 version featured Paolo Montalbán and an ethnically diverse cast, like the 1997 TV version.

Broadway Asia Entertainment produced a staged International Tour starring Lea Salonga and Australian actor Peter Saide in 2008.
