Abstract
-
A catalogue of the compositions of Hugo Weisgall. The Catalogue lists all the musical compositions of Hugo Weisgall. The works are numbered chronologically by date of completion. Information about each piece is divided into twelve categories: title, medium (instrumentation), number of movements or sections and their duration, date of completion, final copy including number of pages and the type of score materials, publication, dedication, commission, first performance, recordings, reviews and articles, and miscellaneous notes on the location of manuscripts and sketches, the texts used, and incidental information about the score.;In addition, the appendix includes a summary of the materials in the public repositories of Weisgall's scores: the Library of Congress Hugo Weisgall Collection (LOC HWC) and the New York Public Library Hugo Weisgall Archive (NYPL HWA). Both collections are uncatalogued.;The Singer's Romance: An opera in three acts suggested by a Willa Cather short story. The Singer's Romance is an opera in three acts, scored for four singers and chamber orchestra. Act I takes place at a performance of "Madame Bovary;" Act II at a rehearsal for "Don Quixote:" and Act III at a performance of "Romeo and Juliet." The "quotations" from these three non-exsistant operas within the opera were composed for this work, not borrowed from extant compositions.
