[[File:Violette Verdy Jewels 1967.JPG|thumb|Violette Verdy, in ''Emeralds'', 1967.]]

'''Violette Verdy''' (born '''Nelly Armande Guillerm'''; 1 December 1933 – 8 February 2016) was a French ballerina, choreographer, teacher, and writer who worked as a dance company director with the [[Paris Opera Ballet]] in France and the [[Boston Ballet]] in the United States.<ref>Victoria Huckenpahler, "Verdy, Violette," in ''International Encyclopedia of Dance'', edited by Selma Jeanne Cohen and others (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998), vol.6, pp.327-329).</ref> From 1958 to 1977 she was a principal dancer with the [[New York City Ballet]] where she performed in the world premieres of several works created specifically for her by choreographers [[George Balanchine]] and [[Jerome Robbins]]. She was Distinguished Professor of Music (Ballet) at the [[Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University]], in [[Bloomington, Indiana|Bloomington]],<ref>Violette Verdy, faculty biography, Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University. http://infor/music/indiana.edu/facultuy/current/verdy-violette.shtml. Retrieved 10 April 2015.</ref> and the recipient of two medals from the French government.<ref name=":0" />

==Early life in Europe==
Born in [[Pont-l'Abbé]], a seacoast town in the Finistère department of Brittany, in northwestern France, she was christened Nelly Armande Guillerm by her parents.<ref>Dominique Delouche et Florence Poudru, ''Violette Verdy'' (Pantin, France: Centre National de la Danse, 2008). A biography, in French.</ref> Her father, Renan Guillerm, died when she was a few months old; her mother, Jeanne Chateaureynaud, a schoolteacher, enrolled her daughter in dance lessons because she seemed to have so much energy.<ref name=Kisselgoff9Feb>{{cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/10/arts/dance/violette-verdy-ballerina-with-flair-dies-at-82.html|title=Violette Verdy, a ‘Theatrical’ Star of Balanchine’s City Ballet, Dies at 82|first=Anna|last=Kisselgoff|work=The New York Times|date=February 9, 2016|accessdate=February 11, 2016}}</ref> Considered a prodigy,<ref name=Kisselgoff9Feb/> she began her ballet training at the age of eight, in 1942, during the German occupation of northern France, and moved with her mother (who sought the best possible teachers for her daughter) to Paris at the height of the German occupation.<ref name=Kisselgoff9Feb/> Following studies in Paris with [[Carlotta Zambelli]] and later with Madame Rousanne Sarkissian and [[Victor Gsovsky]], she made her professional debut in 1945, in the ''corps de ballet'' of [[Roland Petit]]'s ''Le Poète'' at the Théâtre Sarah-Bernhardt in Paris. Soon afterward, she became a member of Petit's Ballets des Champs-Élysées, where she appeared in numerous small roles over the next few years.<ref>Victoria Huckenpahler, ''Ballerina: A Biography of Violette Verdy'' (New York: Audence Arts,1978).</ref>

In 1949, Guillerm was chosen by German cinema director [[Ludwig Berger (director)|Ludwig Berger]] to star in his film ''Ballerina,'' released in Europe in 1950 and known in America as ''Dream Ballerina.''<ref>International Movie Database, ''Dream Ballerina.'' http://imdb.com. Retrieved 12 April 2015.</ref> Berger insisted she adopt a stage name, and Roland Petit suggested Violette Verdy, reminiscent of both a flower and the composer [[Giuseppe Verdi]].<ref name=Kisselgoff9Feb/> Critical praise for her sincere acting and pure classical ballet technique won her contacts and contracts with several European ballet companies. She went on to dance with the reorganized Ballets des Champs-Élysées, the Ballet de Marigny, and Les Ballets de Paris de Roland Petit. With the last-named troupe, she created the role of the heroine of Petit's ''Le Loup'' (The Wolf, 1953), set to the music of [[Henri Dutilleux]], which proved to be a significant turning point in her development as an interpretive artist. Widely recognized for her musicality, precision, and wit,<ref name=Telegraph_obit/> she would thereafter tour the United States with Les Ballets de Paris (1953) and London Festival Ballet (1954-1955), appearing in leading roles with the ballet company of Teatro alla Scala (1955-1956) in Milan and with Ballet Rambert (1957) in London. With La Scala Ballet she danced the title roles in full-length productions of ''Cinderella'' and ''Romeo and Juliet'',<ref>Jacobs School of Music, news release, 3 February 2009. http://info.music.indiana.edu.new/page/print/9826.html. Retrieved 13 April 2015.</ref> both choreographed for her by [[Alfred Rodrigues]]; with Ballet Rambert she danced the light-hearted Swanhilda in ''[[Coppélia]]'' and the more dramatic title role in ''[[Giselle]]'',<ref>Huckenpahler, "Verdy, Violette" (1998), p. 328.</ref> which became one of her signature roles.

==Dancing in America==
A film made during the London Festival Ballet tour of America brought Verdy to the attention of [[Nora Kaye]], a ballerina at [[American Ballet Theater]], and, in 1957, to an invitation to join that company. Verdy accepted the invitation and moved to New York City. With her new company she quickly charmed American audiences in such repertory works as ''Gala Performance'' and ''Offenbach in the Underworld,'' both created by [[Antony Tudor]] and both with a decidedly French flavor. She also gave brilliant performances in ''Theme and Variations,'' set to the final movement of Tchaikovsky's Suite No. 3 by [[George Balanchine]], and a dramatic interpretation of the title role in ''Miss Julie,'' based on the 1888 play by [[August Strindberg]] and choreographed by [[Birgit Cullberg]] in 1950.<ref>Nancy Reynolds and Malcolm McCormack, ''No Fixed Points: Dance in the Twentieth Century'' (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2003), p. 287.</ref>

When American Ballet Theater was temporarily disbanded in 1958, Verdy was the only member invited to join [[New York City Ballet]]. Eager to work with George Balanchine, she promptly joined the company where, with rare exceptions, she would spend the next twenty years of her performing career. Although her French training and her petite physique set her apart from most female dancers in the company, she seemed to have an instinctive understanding of Balanchine's choreographic aesthetic; her quip that she feared sticking out "like a French poodle among a troupe of borzois" was widely circulated, but any personal anxiety was quickly dispelled by her well-received performances.<ref name=Telegraph_obit/> She was soon dancing major roles in the repertory, giving dazzling performances in ''Allegro Brillante, Apollo, Divertimento No. 15, Scotch Symphony, Stars and Stripes,'' and ''Theme and Variations,'' often partnered by [[Edward Villella]], who equaled her vivacity and technical aplomb on stage. Recognizing her musicality and kinesthetic intelligence, Balanchine created numerous parts for her over the years, including leading roles in ''Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux'' (1960), ''The Figure in the Carpet'' (1960), ''Liebeslieder Walzer'' (1960), ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' (1962), ''Emeralds'' (1967), ''Glinkaiana'' (1967), ''La Source'' (1968), ''Pulcinella'' (1972), and ''Sonatine'' (1973).<ref>The George Balanchine Foundation, Balanchine Catalogue, "Violette Verdy," http://www.blanchine.org/balanchine. Retrieved 10 April 2015.</ref>

Of all these roles, Verdy is perhaps most identified with ''Emeralds'', the opening ballet of the triptych ''[[Jewels (ballet)|Jewels]]'', and with ''[[Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux]]''.<ref>Debra Craine and Judith Mackrell, "Verdy, Violette," in ''The Oxford Dictionary of Dance'' (Oxford University Press, 2000).</ref> Partnered with [[Conrad Ludlow]] in both these works, she embodied the Romantic spirit of [[Fauré]]'s music in the former and the charm and effervescent joy of [[Tchaikovsky]]'s music in the latter. Since its premiere, ''Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux'' has been performed by many ballerinas in numerous international companies, but few have come close to the musicality, wit, and technical bravura of Verdy's original interpretation.<ref>Mary Ellen Hunt, "How It's Done: Scintillating Speed," ''Pointe Magazine'' (February–March 2013). A descriptive analysis of ''Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux,'' with commentary by Violette Verdy. http://pointemagazine.com. Retrieved 10 April 2015.</ref>

Verdy was also favored by choreographer [[Jerome Robbins]], who cast her in ''[[Dances at a Gathering]]'' (1969) and ''In the Night'' (1970), both set to piano music by Chopin.

The choreography of ''In the Night'', set to three Chopin nocturnes, allowed her to display the finest nuances of meaning in movement.

From 1949 onward, she was also often seen dancing on French, British, Canadian, and American television.<ref>Jacobs School of Music, news release, 3 February 2009.</ref>

==Later life==

Recognized as a gifted choreographer, Verdy mounted, after 1965, numerous works for American and European ballet companies. She was also internationally renowned as a teacher of ballet technique. In her classes and coaching sessions, she emphasized the joy of dancing over the rigors of routine, even as she maintained the purity of her technical instruction.<ref>Barbara Newman, ''Grace under Pressure: Dancing through Time'' (London: Dance Books, and New York: Proscenium Publishers, 2003).</ref> Among the companies with which she accepted guest teaching residencies were London's Royal Ballet, the Paris Opera Ballet, the Australian Ballet, the Royal Danish Ballet, the Teatro alla Scala, the Stuttgart Ballett, the Hamburg Ballett, the Bayeriches Staatsballett in Munich, and the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow,<ref>Igor Youskevitch, ''Playbill,'' New York International Ballet Competition, Sunday Evening, June 26, 2005, Honoring Violette Verdy (New York: Lincoln Center, 2005).</ref> where she became the first foreign teacher invited since the 1917 Revolution.<ref name=Telegraph_obit/> In 2008, the School of American Ballet announced that Verdy would serve as their first, and, initially, only, permanent guest teacher.<ref name=Telegraph_obit />

Verdy died in Bloomington, Indiana on 8 February 2016, after a short illness.<ref name=Kisselgoff9Feb/>

==Honors and awards==
Numerous awards and honors were bestowed on Verdy, including a 1968 ''Dance Magazine'' Award, the 2003 Artistic Achievements Award from the School of American Ballet, the 2005 Grand Prix Gold Medal at the International Ballet Festival of Miami, and the 2007 Irène Lidova Lifetime Achievement Award by ''Ballet2000,'' an international dance magazine. She was given a Doctor of Humane Letters by [[Skidmore College]] (1972) and Doctor of Arts from both [[Goucher College]] (1987) and [[Boston Conservatory]] (1997). Two honors were bestowed by the French government. In 1973, during her performing career, she was named a [[Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres]]; thirty-five years later, she was honored with the medal of [[Chevalier dans l'Ordre de la Legion d'Honneur]], France's highest decoration, presented in 2008.<ref name=":0">Jacobs School of Music, new release, 3 February 2009.</ref>

Isidore Cohen

''For the composer born with this name, see [[Isidore de Lara]]''

'''Isidore Cohen''' (December 16, 1922, [[Brooklyn]], [[New York]] – June 23, 2005, [[Bronx]], [[New York]]) was a renowned [[chamber music]]ian and [[violin]]ist, as well as a former member of the [[Juilliard String Quartet]] and [[Beaux Arts Trio]].

Cohen began studying violin at age six, and graduated from the [[The High School of Music and Art|High School of Music and Art]] in [[Manhattan]], although his intention was to become a doctor. His pre-med studies at [[Brooklyn College]] were interrupted by a serving in [[Europe]] with the [[U.S. Army]] during [[World War II]]. From there on, his career focus changed as he decided he'd rather touch people's lives through music.<ref name="Juilliard">{{cite journal | title = Isidore Cohen, Renowned Chamber Musician, Dies at 82 | journal = The Juilliard Journal | volume = 21 | issue = 1 | publisher = [[The Juilliard School]] |date=September 2005 | url = http://www.juilliard.edu/update/journal/j_articles647.html | accessdate = 2007-05-23}}</ref>

Upon returning to [[civilian]] life, he became a student of [[Ivan Galamian]] at [[Juilliard]]. Galamian had misgivings about accepting a 24-year-old student, but wanted to help a war veteran. From there, his life as a musician started to blossom, even drawing the attention of [[Igor Stravinsky]] with his performance of Stravinsky's ''[[L'Histoire du Soldat]]''.<ref name="Juilliard"/>
He became well known for his attention given to modern composers, and notably worked closely on many pieces with John Cage.

As of the 1950s, Cohen was serving as the [[concertmaster]] of the orchestras at the [[Casals]] festivals in [[France]] and [[Puerto Rico]], in addition to several ensembles in [[New York City]] including the Colombia symphony orchestra. He was frequently concertmaster for Leonard Bernstein's televised "young people's concerts". His performance As concertmaster under Stravinsky's baton of "The rite of spring" is one of those preserved on the gold album carried by the voyager spacecraft. In 1952 [[Alexander Schneider]] invited Cohen to join [[Schneider Quartet|his quartet]] as second violinist. During Cohen's tenure, the Schneider quartet recorded the first complete set of [[Joseph Haydn]]'s [[string quartet]]s, a milestone noted in ''[[Time magazine]]''.<ref name="Juilliard"/>

Beginning in 1958, Cohen became second violinist of the Juilliard String Quartet, a post he held for nearly a decade. As a member of the quartet, Cohen also served on faculty at Juilliard from 1958 to 1966.<ref name="Juilliard"/>

In 1968, following the retirement of [[violin]]ist [[Daniel Guilet]], he was persuaded to join the Beaux Arts Trio by [[pianist]] [[Menahem Pressler]] and [[cellist]] [[Bernard Greenhouse]]. By the mid-1970s they were touring and recording as the world's best-known and busiest [[piano trio]]. During Cohen's time with the trio, dozens of recordings were released, including the complete piano trios of [[Ludwig van Beethoven]], Haydn, Mozart, Dvořák, Brahms, as well as works by Chopin, [[Pyotr Tchaikovsky]], [[Sergei Rachmaninoff]], [[Charles Ives]], and [[Dmitri Shostakovich]]. After twenty-three years with the group, he was succeeded as violinist by [[Ida Kavafian]].<ref name="Juilliard"/><ref>{{cite web | title = Warner Classics: Artist Biography | publisher = Warner Classics | year = 2006 | url = http://www.warnerclassics.com/artistbiography.php?artist=7727 | accessdate = 2007-05-23 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20061231001540/http://www.warnerclassics.com/artistbiography.php?artist=7727  |archivedate = 2006-12-31}}</ref>

As a teacher, Cohen was on faculty at numerous institutions and festivals in addition to Juilliard, including the [[Aspen Music Festival]] the [[Curtis Institute of Music]], [[Princeton University]], [[SUNY at Stony Brook]], and the [[Manhattan School of Music]]. His longest association was with the [[Marlboro Music Festival]], where beginning in 1966 he taught for nearly forty years.<ref name="Juilliard"/><ref>{{cite web | title = Faculty Bio: Mr. Isidore Cohen | publisher = [[Manhattan School of Music]] | url = http://www.msmnyc.edu/catalog/facbio.asp?fid=1008172925 | accessdate = 2007-05-23}}</ref>

Gerd Boder

2014-01-16T03:52:52Z

4meter4:

'''Gerd Boder''' (* 13 Juni [[1933]] in [[Saarbrücken]]; † 2 Juni [[1992]] ebenda) war ein deutscher Komponist.

== Leben ==

Bereits im Alter von 5 Jahren erhielt Gerd Boder ersten Klavierunterricht bei seinem Vater. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Familie nach [[Speyer]] evakuiert, wo er professionellen Klavierunterricht erhielt und mit der Harmonienlehre ([[Harmonik]]) sowie den kontrapunktischen Gesetzen vertraut gemacht wurde. Im Alter von 14 Jahren versuchte er sich an ersten Kompositionen.

Zwei Jahre später begann er ein Studium am 1947 gegründeten Staatlichen Konservatorium in Saarbrücken, der späteren [[Hochschule für Musik Saar]]. Danach wechselte er in das französische [[Poitiers]] an das dortige Konservatorium; mit einem ''Prix d'Excellence'' im Fach ''Klavier'' und einem ''Premier Prix'' im Fach ''Tonsatz'' schloss er sein Studium erfolgreich ab. In den Jahren 1952 bis 1954 studierte er am Conservatoire National in [[Paris]] bei [[Jean Rivier]] und [[Noël Gallon]] in den Fächern ''Harmonie'', ''Komposition'' und ''Kontrapunkt''. 1955 kehrte er an das Saarbrücker Konservatorium zurück und machte dort mit Auszeichnung sein Abschlussexamen in den Fächern ''Dirigieren'' und [[Komposition (Musik)]]; letzteres studierte er bei [[Heinrich Konietzny]]. Drei Jahre lang erlernte Boder zusätzlich das Paukenspiel, um sich auch als Orchestermusiker eine wirtschaftliche Basis sichern zu können. Kurzfristig arbeitete er nach seinen Examina als Musiklehrer an einem Gymnasium und am Lehrerbildungsseminar im saarländischen [[Lebach]].

Nachdem er im Jahr 1961 den Preis der [[Villa Massimo]] ([[Rom]]) erhalten hatte, gelang ihm der Durchbruch als Komponist. Während seines Rom-Aufenthaltes heiratete er seine Frau Ursel und lebte mit ihr weitere drei Jahre in der italienischen Hauptstadt, in der er als freischaffender Komponist tätig war. Von Rom aus siedelte er mit seiner Familie 1964 ins westfälische [[Körbecke (Möhnesee)]], wo er eine längere kreative Schaffensphase durchlief. In den 70er Jahren geriet Boder in eine tiefe psychische Krise, aus der er sich bis zu seinem Tod nicht mehr befreien konnte. Er zog ohne seine Familie und mittellos zurück nach Saarbrücken, wo er vergeblich hoffte, eine Anstellung als Musiklehrer zu finden, und wo er nach langer Krankheit vereinsamt in einem Pflegeheim starb.

== Œuvre ==

Boder galt in jungen Jahren als große Hoffnung der Neuen Musik. Sein Œuvre umfasst etwa 180 Kompositionen. Weiterhin schrieb er Tausende Notenblätter als Skizzen oder Versuche. Dennoch vergab er nur 72 Opuszahlen, da etliche Stücke Gelegenheitsarbeiten waren oder nicht seinen eigenen extrem hohen Ansprüchen genügten. Die meisten Kompositionen stammen aus seiner produktivsten Phase, von etwa 1955 bis 1975.

Beeinflusst wurde Boder in ersten Linie von [[Béla Bartók]] und [[Alban Berg]]. Er komponierte in fast allen musikalischen Genres, lediglich im [[Oper]]nbereich fühlte er sich nicht zu Hause. Der Großteil seiner Werke ist im Landesarchiv des Saarlandes (Saarbrücken) erhalten.

== Preise und Ehrungen ==

* 1963 und 1968: Stuttgarter Förderpreis für Junge Komponisten
* 1963 Prix de Composition Prince Pierre de Monaco
* 1976 [[Kunstpreis des Saarlandes]], wichtigster Kulturpreis des Bundeslandes

'''Colfax''' is the [[county seat]] of [[Whitman County, Washington]], United States.{{GR|6}}
The population was 2,805 at the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]].
It is situated amidst wheat-covered hills in a valley at the confluence of the north and south forks of the [[Palouse River]]. [[U.S. Route 195 (Washington)|U.S. Route 195]], which forms the town's main street, intersects with [[Washington State Route 26|State Route 26]] at the north end of town; in the past, Colfax also lay at the junction of three railway lines. It was named after [[Schuyler Colfax]], the [[Vice President of the United States|vice president]] from 1869-73.

==History==
[[Palus (tribe)|Palouse Indians]] were the first known human inhabitants of the Colfax area. White settlers arrived in the summer of 1870, and soon built a sawmill. A flour mill and other businesses followed, and Colfax soon grew into a prosperous town. Originally, pioneer citizen James Perkin called the settlement "Belleville" in honor of his girlfriend; when he found a new love, he changed the town's name to Colfax<ref>LaFollette, Taber, ''The History of Colfax'', Colfax History Committee, 1956, p. 8.</ref> for then-Vice President [[Schuyler Colfax]].<ref name=majors>{{Cite book| last = Majors | first = Harry M. | title = Exploring Washington | publisher = Van Winkle Publishing Co | year = 1975 | page = 143 |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=CoWrPQAACAAJ| isbn = 978-0-918664-00-6}}</ref>

Colfax was officially incorporated on November 29, 1873. In 1889-90, the town vied with several other finalists to become the site of a new state agricultural college, present-day [[Washington State University]]. The honor ultimately fell to nearby [[Pullman, Washington|Pullman]], 15 miles (24 km) southeast.

The early history of Colfax was distinguished by prominent lynchings in 1894 and 1898.<ref name=majors/>

Until passed by Pullman at the [[1930 United States Census|1930 census]], Colfax was the largest city in the county.

==Geography and climate==
[[File:RiverColfaxWA.jpg|thumb|left|250px|South fork of the [[Palouse River]] in early autumn, at the end of the dry season]]
Colfax is located in southeastern Washington at {{coord|46|53|3|N|117|21|49|W|type:city}} (46.884033, -117.363668),{{GR|1}} at an elevation of {{convert|1962|ft|m}}. The nearest cities are [[Spokane, Washington|Spokane]], [[Pullman, Washington|Pullman]], [[Moscow, Idaho|Moscow]], and [[Lewiston, Idaho|Lewiston]]/[[Clarkston, Washington|Clarkston]]. The area is geologically interesting, lying in the midst of the fertile [[Palouse|Palouse country]] in the middle of the [[Columbia River Plateau]], with the [[Rocky Mountains]] to the east, the [[Channeled Scablands]] to the west, and the [[Snake River]] to the south.

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of 1.7 square miles (4.3 km²).1.7 square miles (4.3 km²) of it is land and none of the area is covered with water.
The Palouse River, confined for flood control to a concrete bed that reduces it to an eighteen-inch-wide stream during the dry season, runs through the middle of town, parallel to Main Street.

Colfax has a four-season [[Humid continental climate|continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Dsb''), with hot, dry summers, cold winters, and a rainy season that generally runs from autumn til spring. The annual rainfall averages less than {{convert|20|in|mm}} a year. This climate, together with the deep, rich palouse topsoil, makes for near-ideal wheat growing conditions.

[[File:CodgerPoleColfaxWA.jpg|thumb|The Codger Pole]]

===Tourist attractions===
* '''The Codger Pole''' is a chainsaw-carved monument by master carver Jonathan LaBenne. It is located on Main Street and commemorates a 1988 rematch, 50 years after the original 1938 game, between archrival football teams from [[Colfax High School (Washington)|Colfax High School]] and [[St. John, Washington|St. John.]] At {{convert|65|ft|m}} tall, it is the largest sculpture of its type in the world, and consists of portraits, carved into five upended red cedar logs, of the 51 players involved. The players are shown in old age but are wearing the football uniforms of the thirties.
* '''The Perkins House''', on Perkins Avenue, is a meticulously restored Victorian home built in 1886. The original owner was James Perkins, a leading pioneer citizen. The Perkins family occupied the home until 1968, by which time it was sadly dilapidated and slated for demolition. In 1970, the Whitman County Historical Society assumed ownership and began restoring the house, which is now listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. Behind the house is a [[log cabin]], built in 1870, where Perkins lived for sixteen years. This cabin is the oldest standing structure in Whitman County. The house is open for tours from May to September, on Thursdays and Saturdays.
* '''Colfax Golf Course and Country Club''' is a nine-hole course beside the river on North Palouse River Road.
* '''McDonald Park''', located immediately north of the golf course, consists of playing fields surrounded by a paved walking/jogging path. Regional baseball and softball tournaments are hosted here.
* '''The Colfax Trail''' is a three-mile (5 km) path converted from a disused railway line. It begins at a gravel quarry off Highway 26, just beyond the town's western limit, and follows the [[Palouse River]] westward, traversing cow pastures, pine woods, [[wetlands]], and [[basalt]] cliffs.

===Public services, businesses, and churches===
Among the town's other amenities are a public school, a hospital, several city parks, a skateboard park, a swimming pool and a [http://www.whitco.lib.wa.us public library] that was recently named among the best in Washington State. As the county seat, Colfax is also home to the Whitman County Courthouse and the Whitman County Jail. The local government consists of a seven-member [[City Council]] and a mayor (currently G. Todd Vanek, in his first term).

There is a small assortment of businesses, including building and farm supply stores, a medium-sized grocery ([[Rosauers]]), a pharmacy, a hotel, a Bed & Breakfast guesthouse, a fitness center, a florist, a coffee stall, four gift shops, a pawn shop, and ten restaurants. Local service-based businesses include lawyers, dentists, auto mechanics, banks, and retirement homes.

[http://www.switchboard.com Switchboard.com] lists nine churches in Colfax, including one [[Catholic Church]], one congregation of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (aka LDS or Mormon), and various [[Protestant]] and non-denominational churches including, ''Colfax Assembly (Assemblies of God)'', ''Colfax Nazarene Church'', ''First Baptist Church'', ''United Methodist Church'', and ''The Community Bible Church''.

A weekly newspaper called [http://www.wcgazette.com Whitman County Gazette] is published in Colfax. In addition, there is a daily newspaper called "The Daily Bulletin" which consists of a one page paper with daily news and advertisements that is published in Colfax.

===Annual Colfax events===
[[File:ThreshingbeeColfaxWA.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Antiquated threshing techniques are demonstrated at the annual threshing bee]]
* '''Palouse Plowing Bee''' and '''Palouse Empire Threshing Bee'''– held respectively on the third weekend in April and the first weekend after [[Labor Day]]. Farmers demonstrate traditional plowing and harvesting methods in a {{convert|15|acre|m2|adj=on}} field five miles (8 km) west of town.
* '''Perkins House Ice Cream Social''' – Held on the last Sunday in June on the lawn of the Perkins House; ice cream, pie, live [[Dixieland]] music, displays, and free house tours.
* '''Concrete River Days''' – A summer festival held on the second weekend in July, with a parade, sidewalk sales, and many outdoor activities; so named because the Palouse riverbed in downtown Colfax has been lined with concrete for the sake of flood control, and the water descends into a narrow central channel during the dry season.
* '''Palouse Empire Fair''' – Held in early September five miles (8 km) west of town; a midway, a rodeo, live music, and barns full of livestock and handicrafts.
* '''Lighted Christmas Parade'''– a night parade held in downtown Colfax, Mill Street, on the first Thursday in December. Festive floats, free candy, special programs at the public library, and Santa Claus.
* '''Autumn Harvest Hullabaloo ''' The Hullabaloo is an a fall festival similar to Colfax's ''Concrete River Days.''

The population has hovered near 3,000 since 1910.<ref>Erickson, Edith E. ''Colfax 100 Plus'', 1981, p. 64 (privately printed)</ref> As of the 2000 census{{GR|2}}, there were 2,844 people, 1,191 households, and 740 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,705.6 people per square mile (657.5/km²). There were 1,357 housing units at an average density of 813.8 per square mile (313.7/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 94.16% [[White (U.S. Census)|White]], 0.25% [[African American (U.S. Census)|African American]], 0.84% [[Native American (U.S. Census)|Native American]], 2.07% [[Asian (U.S. Census)|Asian]], 0.60% from [[Race (United States Census)|other races]], and 2.07% from two or more races. [[Hispanic (U.S. Census)|Hispanic]] or [[Latino (U.S. Census)|Latino]] of any race were 1.48% of the population.

There were 1,191 households out of which 27.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 52.6% were married couples living together, 6.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 37.8% were non-families. 35.0% of all households were made up of individuals and 18.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.24 and the average family size was 2.90.

In the city the age distribution of the population shows 23.5% under the age of 18, 6.2% from 18 to 24, 25.6% from 25 to 44, 22.6% from 45 to 64, and 22.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 41 years, well above the national average of 35.3—possibly due to the presence of several retirement communities. For every 100 females there were 93.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 89.6 males.

The median income for a household in the city was $36,622, and the median income for a family was $47,589. Males had a median income of $32,188 versus $26,349 for females.

'''''This Is the Army''''' is a [[1943 in film|1943]] [[United States|American]] wartime [[motion picture]] produced by [[Hal B. Wallis]] and [[Jack L. Warner]], and directed by [[Michael Curtiz]], and a wartime musical designed to boost morale in the U.S. during [[World War II]], directed by Sgt. [[Ezra Stone]]. The [[screenplay]] by [[Casey Robinson]] and [[Claude Binyon]] was based on the 1942 [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] [[musical theatre|musical]] by [[Irving Berlin]], who also composed the film's 19 songs and broke screen protocol by singing one of them. The movie features a large ensemble cast, including [[George Murphy]], [[Joan Leslie]], [[Alan Hale, Sr.]], [[Rosemary DeCamp]], and Lt. [[Ronald Reagan]], while both the stage play and film included soldiers of the [[United States Army|U.S. Army]] that were actors and performers in civilian life.

==Basis==
In May 1941, ex-Sergeant [[Irving Berlin]] was on tour at [[Camp Upton]], his old Army base in [[Yaphank]], [[New York]] during [[World War I]]. There he spoke with the commanding officers, including [[Doc Rankin|Capt. A.H. Rankin]] of Special Services, about restaging his original 1917 Army play, ''[[Yip Yip Yaphank|Yip! Yip! Yaphank]]''.<ref name="Irving Berlin Comes to Yaphank">Middle Island Mail. "It May Be "Yip, Yip, Yaphank" Again After Irving Berlin Visits Camp Upton" at [http://www.longwood.k12.ny.us/history/newspaper/midislanmail/berlin.htm]. May 28, 1941. Retrieved on September 17, 2006</ref> Gen. [[George Marshall]] approved a Broadway production of a wartime musical for the army, allowing Berlin to conduct the arrangements and rehearsals at Camp Upton much like he had done during World War I. Sgt. Ezra Stone was selected as director for the new contemporary play, and the two set up on base during the weekdays to put together the story and crew. Insisting on [[Racial integration|integration]], Berlin was granted the chance to add [[African American]]s into this play, which he was not allowed to do in ''Yip, Yip Yaphank.'' This would not be unconventional for Berlin, but it would be for the United States Army—no whites and African Americans would appear on stage simultaneously. Though progressive in that regard, Berlin was still planning on opening with a [[Minstrel show|minstrel skit]]. Ezra Stone told his civilian boss that it would be impossible to get 110 men out of [[blackface]] in time for the next number. It would be a saving grace for an admired songwriter who was stuck on old ideas. Casting aside his minstrel show, Berlin instead wrote a "new" "[[Puttin' on the Ritz]]", calling it "That's What the Well-Dressed Man in Harlem Will Wear".

The retooled play ran on Broadway, at the Broadway Theatre from July 4, 1942 to September 26, 1942.<ref name="This Is the Army Production Credits">Internet Broadway Database. ''This Is the Army'' at [http://www.ibdb.com/production.asp?ID=1208]. Retrieved on September 17, 2006</ref> The show was directed by Sgt. Ezra Stone, choreographed by Cpl. Nelson Barclift and Sgt. Robert Sidney.

The show was such a success that it went on the road. The national tour of the revue ended in [[San Francisco]], [[California|CA]] on February 13, 1943. By that time, it had earned $2 million ($23 million in 2006 dollars<ref name="[[United States]] [[Bureau of Labor Statistics]] Online Inflation Calculator">at [http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl].</ref>) for the Army Emergency Relief Fund.<ref name="Irving Berlin
This Is the Army, Part 2">NARA, by Laurence Bergreen at [http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/1996/summer/irving-berlin-2.html] 1996.</ref> The company of men that staged the play were the only Army outfit to be fully integrated, but only so off-stage.

==Story==
The movie follows the life of Jerry Jones (Murphy) and his son Johnny (Reagan) over the course of two world wars. Jones is a professional [[dancer]] drafted into the United States Army during World War I. At the request of his commanding officer, and against the grudging opposition of his cantankerous drill instructor Sgt. McGee (Hale), Jones produces a patriotic musical revue called ''Yip! Yip! Yaphank!''. The second part of the movie follows his son (Reagan) who is charged with undertaking a similar but grander production to inspire troops involved in World War II. The explicitly stated message of the movie is that the purpose of United States involvement in the war is to fulfill the unfinished result of the previous war.

The title of the movie is from the well-known Berlin song that is featured in the movie, which is also the title of the musical-within-a-movie staged by the younger Jones. The movie features star appearances by Irving Berlin, [[Kate Smith]], [[Frances Langford]] and [[Joe Louis]] as themselves. Smith's full-length rendition of Berlin's "[[God Bless America]]" is arguably the most famous cinematic rendition of the piece. Louis appears in a revue piece called "What the Well-Dressed Man in Harlem Will Wear", with James Cross (lead singer and dancer), William Wycoff (dancer in drag), Marion Brown (heavyset dancer), and a chorus of perhaps a dozen<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.listal.com/movie/this-is-the-army/cast | title = Cast and Credits of This Is the Army | publisher = listal.com | accessdate = 2011-07-03 }}</ref>, the only scene that includes African-Americans.

One of the film's highlights is Irving Berlin himself singing his song "[[Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning]]." Berlin's natural singing voice was so soft that the recording volume had to be increased significantly in order to record acceptably.

The celebrity impersonation "hamburger" sequence includes accurate spoofs of Broadway stars [[Lynn Fontanne]], [[Alfred Lunt]] and [[Ethel Barrymore]], and film stars [[Charles Boyer]] and [[Herbert Marshall]].

The revue pieces also include [[acrobatics|acrobat]] routines, several [[comedy]] pieces, including one with Hale in drag, a [[minstrel show]] sketch (oftentimes removed from consumer videos and television broadcasts), and tributes to the [[United States Navy|Navy]] and the [[United States Army Air Corps|Air Corps]].

The movie can be viewed in many ways as a forerunner of the [[1954]] movie ''[[White Christmas (film)|White Christmas]]'', which also used Berlin's music and featured many similar sketches and scenes, including songs praising Army life and the dramatic marching of soldiers through a theater.

Although the core of the movie consists of the musical numbers, the movie also contains a veneer of a plot involving the wartime love interests of both the father and the son.

==Plot summary==

In World War I, the musical ''Yip Yip Yaphank'' is a rousing success. During the show, it is learned that the troop has received its orders to ship off to [[France]], and thus the end number is changed so that the soldiers march through the theater with their rifles and gear and out into the waiting convoy of trucks. Jones kisses his new bride on the way down the aisle.

In the war, several of the soldiers in the production are killed. Jerry Jones is wounded in France, by shrapnel during a German artillery barrage. He loses the full use of one of his legs, ending his career as a dancer and must walk with a cane.
Nevertheless he is resolved to find something useful to do. Sgt. McKee and the bugler also survive.

Twenty-five years later, with World War II raging in Europe, Jones' son Johnny enlists in the Army shortly after Pearl Harbor is attacked. He tells his sweetheart that they cannot marry until he returns, since he doesn't want to make her a widow. He grudgingly accepts the order to stage another musical, just as his father did. The show goes on tour around the United States and eventually plays in front of [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt|President Roosevelt]] ([[Jack Young (actor)|Jack Young]]) in [[Washington, D.C.]]. During the show, it is announced that the Washington, D.C. performance will be the last night, and that afterwards the soldiers in the production will be ordered back to their combat units.

Johnny's erstwhile fiancée, who has since joined the [[Red Cross]] auxiliary, appears at the show. During a break in the show, she brings a [[Religious minister|minister]] and convinces them that they should marry - which they do, in the alley behind the theater, with their fathers as witnesses.

==After the curtain==
[[File:ThisIsTheArmy Earle.jpg|thumb|''This is the Army'' premiere]]
The movie premiered at the [[ Warner Theatre (Washington, D.C.)|Warner's Earle Theater]] on August 12, 1943.
It grossed $9,555,586.44, which was donated to [[Army Emergency Relief]].<ref>http://blogs.archives.gov/prologue/?p=6516</ref>

The ending of the war saw the ending of the road show, the last performance being on Maui, Hawaii October 22, 1945 with Irving Berlin once again singing his "Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning." The Army Emergency Relief Fund collected millions of dollars, but the total amount was never accounted, nor released to the public. By the mid-'70s, the movie itself fell into the public domain, occasionally airing on television to a new generation of viewers. Renewed interest in some of the actors helped those players that might have been considered down-and-out, most notably [[Stump and Stumpy]]'s [[James Cross (entertainer)|Jimmy Cross]] and [[Harold Cromer]].

George Murphy and Ronald Reagan would run for public office in California. George Murphy served one term, (1965–1971) in the U.S. Senate. Ronald Reagan served two terms as Governor of California (1967–1975) and then President of the United States (1981–1989), with both contributing to each other's Republican campaigns. Reagan would warmly and jokingly refer to Murphy, who preceded him into politics by a couple of years, as "my John the Baptist."

Many of the soldiers who had participated in the show held reunions every five years after the end of World War II. Their 50th and final reunion (1992) was held in New York's Theater District.

==Notes==
*If Washington, D.C. officials did not like the idea of a musical/revue about the Army, playwright Irving Berlin was ready to call it ''This Is the Navy'', or ''This Is the Air Corps''.

*In the film, the Washington performance is attended by President Roosevelt, played by [[Jack Young (actor)|Jack Young]], who had a history of playing the part, e.g. in ''[[Yankee Doodle Dandy]]''. The President is joined by stand-ins representing [[George Marshall|Gen. Marshall]] and the [[Cordell Hull|Secretary of State]].

* A line of Reagan prior to the opening curtain in Washington, D.C., "You know who is out there tonight, Our Boss - The President." Thirty-eight years later, Reagan would be President of the United States.

His works include the [[Top 40|Top 10]] [[single (music)|single]] "[[Lonely Boy (Andrew Gold song)|Lonely Boy]]" (1977), as well as the singles "[[Thank You for Being a Friend]]" (1978), and "Never Let Her Slip Away" (1978).

His rendition of the [[theme music|theme]] from the [[television series]] ''[[Mad About You]]'', titled "Final Frontier," was used as the wake-up call for the [[Mars Pathfinder]] space probe in 1996.<ref>[http://mpfwww.jpl.nasa.gov/MPF/rover/roversongs.html Mars Pathfinder - Rover Wake-Up Songs]</ref>

Gold was a prolific multi-instrumentalist as [[artist]], [[Record producer|producer]], [[film composer]], [[session musician]], [[actor]], [[painting|painter]], and [[singer]].

==Early life==
Andrew Maurice Gold was born in [[Burbank, California]],<ref name="Tel obit">[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/8564373/Andrew-Gold.html Telegraph obituary]</ref> and later joined a family business. His mother is singer [[Marni Nixon]] (who provided the singing voice for numerous actresses, notably [[Natalie Wood]] in ''[[West Side Story (film)|West Side Story]]'', [[Deborah Kerr]] in ''[[The King and I (1956 film)|The King and I]]'', and [[Audrey Hepburn]] in ''[[My Fair Lady (film)|My Fair Lady]]''); his father was [[Ernest Gold (composer)|Ernest Gold]], the [[Academy Award]]-winning composer for the movie ''[[Exodus (film)|Exodus]]''.<ref name=latimes>[http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-andrew-gold-20110606,0,7388391.story?track=rss Thursby, Keith. "Andrew Gold, musician, songwriter, arranger dies at 59," ''Los Angeles Times'', Monday, June 6, 2011.]</ref> He has two younger sisters. Gold began writing [[songs]] at the age of 13.

==Career==
===1970-1979===
By the early 1970s he was working as a musician, songwriter and [[record producer]] for many musicians. He was a member of the Los Angeles band [[Bryndle]] alongside [[Kenny Edwards]], [[Wendy Waldman]] and [[Karla Bonoff]]. He played a major role as multi-instrumentalist and arranger for Ronstadt's breakthrough [[album]], 1974's ''[[Heart Like a Wheel]]'', and her next four albums. Among other accomplishments, he played the majority of instruments on the album's first track, including the guitar work on "[[You're No Good]]," Ronstadt's first #1 single on the [[Billboard Hot 100]], and the same on "[[When Will I Be Loved (song)|When Will I Be Loved]]", "[[(Love Is Like a) Heat Wave|Heatwave]]", and many others. He was in her band from 1973 until 1977, and then sporadically throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

In 1975, Gold began recording as a solo artist, releasing four studio [[record album|album]]s in the 1970s and over twelve since then. His hit single "Lonely Boy" reached #7 on the [[Billboard Hot 100]] chart in June, 1977<ref>[http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/hot-100?chartDate=1977-06-11 Billboard Chart for 6-11-1977]</ref> and has appeared in many [[film]] [[soundtrack]]s, including ''[[Boogie Nights]]'' (1997) and [[Adam Sandler]]'s movie ''Water Boy'', among others. Although "Lonely Boy" was the bigger radio hit in the States, his single "Thank You For Being A Friend" (which peaked at #25 in 1978<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=EW9RsB0a0oAC&printsec=frontcover&dq=joel+whitburn&hl=en&ei=M8HtTYlShLi3B_Oo9aMJ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits]</ref>) later gained popularity as the theme song for the 1985–1992 [[NBC]] [[situation comedy]] ''[[The Golden Girls]]'' (performed by Cindy Fee for the show). Gold is also known for his biggest UK hit song "Never Let Her Slip Away", which was a UK #5 hit twice, by him and again at #5 fourteen years later by [[Undercover (dance group)|Undercover]]. [[Freddie Mercury]], who was a friend of Gold's, assisted him with the harmony background vocals of the song. Gold was pleased that Petula Clark covered 'Lonely Boy' in French ('Poor Lonesome Playboy'). It is on her 'Paris, Orleans, Paris' set. He attended one of her performances and reminded her that she had recorded the song. In 1976 Gold wrote the title track 'Endless Flight' for Leo Sayer's hit album.

1975 also marked a successful collaboration with [[Art Garfunkel]], playing all the instruments on Garfunkel's solo hit "[[I Only Have Eyes For You]]" (which went to no.1 on the [[UK Singles Chart]]), as well as most of Garfunkel's album ''Breakaway'', and Gold played guitar and drums on [[Eric Carmen]]'s, ''Boats Against the Current'', including "[[She Did It]]", which was a #23 hit that same year.<ref>[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=14405 Songfacts.com]</ref> Throughout the years, he played on [[Stephen Bishop (musician)|Stephen Bishop]]'s hit, "On and On"; played and/or sang on records and/or live performances with [[Paul McCartney]], [[Ringo Starr]], [[John Lennon]], [[Brian Wilson]], [[Don Henley]], [[Cher]]'s hit album, ''[[Heart of Stone (Cher album)|Heart of Stone]]'', wrote hits for [[Trisha Yearwood]], [[Wynonna Judd]], for whom he co-wrote the #1 single "[[I Saw The Light]]" with [[Lisa Angelle]], who he later produced in her own right. He toured with [[The Eagles]], played on records and toured with [[Jackson Browne]], produced, wrote and sang/played on three [[10cc]] tracks; played and sang on record, and toured with [[James Taylor]], produced singles for [[Vince Gill]], and [[Karla Bonoff]], including her #19 hit "Personally", wrote and produced for [[Celine Dion]]; was second engineer on part of [[Joni Mitchell]]'s ''Blue'' album.

===1980-2011===
In the early 1980s, after 10cc's 1981 album ''[[Ten Out of 10]]'' was completed, founding members [[Eric Stewart]] and [[Graham Gouldman]] invited Gold to become a member. Although he was a fan of "[[I'm Not In Love]]" and "The Things We Do for Love", and wanted to join, business conflicts prevented him from doing so. In late 1983, 10cc broke up, but Gold and Gouldman formed [[Wax (UK band)|Wax]]. Wax recorded and toured for five years, enjoying success worldwide and had several top 10 hits including "Right Between the Eyes", and their biggest hit "[[Bridge to Your Heart]]". In 1986, interestingly, the duo had a #1 hit in [[Spain]], lasting 6 months on top, and in a bizarre record company decision, no further singles were released there. The band broke up in 1989, but Gold and Gouldman continued to write and record together when possible.

During the 1990s Gold once again joined forces with bandmates Karla Bonoff, Wendy Waldman and Kenny Edwards to re-form [[Bryndle]] and release their first album. In 1996, he left Bryndle and released, ''Halloween Howls'', considered by [[Dr. Demento]] as one of the two best Halloween albums in history.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} The same year he recorded under a pseudonym, The Fraternal Order Of The All, "Greetings from Planet Love" on his own record label, QBrain Records. This album utilized a fake 1960s band, with original songs in the style of Gold's favorite 1960s bands, such as [[The Beatles]], [[The Byrds]] and [[The Beach Boys]]. He released a rareties [[Wax (pop band)|Wax]] album, ''Bikini Wax'', and the same year he released ''....Since 1951''. He has since also produced, composed, and/or written songs for numerous films, such as the comedy ''Rectuma'' from director [[Mark Pirro]] and contributed songs for many [[television]] [[soundtrack]]s and [[television commercial|commercial]]s. He also sang "Final Frontier", the theme song for the [[Paul Reiser]]/[[Helen Hunt]] sitcom ''[[Mad About You]]''. He produced seven albums for [[Eikichi Yazawa]].

==Personal life==
Gold married Vanessa Gold with whom he had three daughters.<ref name=latimes /> After his divorce, he married Leslie Kogan.<ref name=latimes />

Although Gold put personal references in "Lonely Boy" (1975) including his year of birth, he told Spencer Leigh in an interview that it was not autobiographical: ''"Maybe it was a mistake to do that but I simply put in those details because it was convenient. I hadn't been a lonely boy at all – I'd had a very happy childhood."''<ref>[http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/andrew-gold-musician-and-songwriter-whose-collaborators-included-ronstadt-garfunkel-and-cher-2294196.html Obituary, Andrew Gold, Independent, 8 June 2011 by Spencer Leigh]</ref>

==Death==
On June 3, 2011, Gold died in his sleep, apparently from a [[heart attack]],<ref name="Tel obit"/> at age 59 (two months before his 60th birthday) in Los Angeles after having been treated for cancer.<ref name=latimes /> He is survived by Kogan and his three daughters.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/07/arts/music/andrew-gold-singer-and-songwriter-dies-at-59.html|title=Andrew Gold, Singer and Songwriter, Dies at 59|author=Paul Vitello|date=June 7, 2011|work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>

{{Dieser Artikel|behandelt die Oper Rinaldo, für die Vornamen siehe [[Rinaldo (Vorname)]] bzw. [[Renaldo]]}}

'''Rinaldo''' ([[HWV]] 7a/7b) ist eine [[Oper]] in drei Akten von [[Georg Friedrich Händel]].

== Entstehung ==
''Rinaldo'' ist die erste Oper, die Händel in London schrieb. Zwar war er am 16. Juni [[1710]] zum [[Kapellmeister]] am [[Kurfürstentum Braunschweig-Lüneburg|Hofe von Hannover]] des [[Georg I. (Großbritannien)|Kürfürsten Georg Ludwig]] ernannt worden, doch schon im August 1710 reiste Händel über Düsseldorf nach London, wo er im November 1710 eintraf. Zu der Zeit hatte der Dramatiker Aaron Hill (1685 - 1750) im Alter von 24 Jahren die Direktion des ''[[Her Majesty's Theatre|Queen's Theatre]]'' am Haymarket übernommen. Zugleich war dem Theater das Monopol für die Opernproduktion zugesprochen worden.

In dieser Situation entstand das [[Libretto]] in zwei Schritten: Zunächst erstellte Aaron Hill eine englischsprachige Skizze, die sich [[Torquato Tasso]]s Epos ''Gerusalemme liberata (Das befreite Jerusalem)'' als Grundlage bediente. (Im vierten Gesang der Dichtung erzählte Tasso von der Liebe der sarazenischen Zauberin Armida zu dem Kreuzritter Rinaldo.) Das Textbuch schrieb der Theaterlibrettist Giacomo Rossi ''in Windeseile'' auf Italienisch. Im Vorwort berichtete er von seiner Zusammenarbeit mit dem Komponisten:

: ''Mr. Hendel, the Orpheus of our century, while composing the music, scarcely gave me the time to write, and to my great wonder I saw an entire opera put to music by that surprising genius, with the greatest degree of perfection, in only two weeks.''

Freilich übernahm Händel etwa fünfzehn Nummern - vollständig oder teilweise - aus den [[Partitur]]en früherer Werke, insbesondere aus:
* ''[[Agrippina (Händel)|Agrippina]]''
* ''[[Almira (Händel)|Almira]]''
* ''[[La Resurrezione]]''.
Die übernommenen Nummern passte Händel jeweils an den neuen Text an, was Rossi vielleicht nicht wusste. Eingefügt hat Händel auch aus der Oper ''Almira'' die [[Sarabande]] ''Lascia ch´io pianga'', die nun im 2. Akt der Oper ''Rinaldo'' von Almirena gesungen wird. Für die Komposition brauchte Händel nur die Zeit von Dezember 1710 bis Januar 1711. Die Uraufführung erfolgte am [[24. Februar]] [[1711]] im ''Queen's Theatre'' mit [[Nicolò Grimaldi]] in der Titelrolle.

== Zweite Fassung ==

Für die 1731er Saison erstellte Händel eine stark überarbeitete neue Fassung des ''Rinaldo'', die im Werke-Verzeichnis als HWV 7b verzeichnet ist. Neben mehreren Wechseln der [[Stimmlage]]n, die im Abschnitt [[#Personen|Personen]] zu sehen sind, wurde das Werk auch dramaturgisch verändert. Eine tabellarische Übersicht über die [[Arie]]n, die hinzukamen bzw. weggelassen wurden, findet sich in der angegebenen Literatur.

Die zweite Fassung kam erstmals am 6. April 1731 am ''King's Theatre'' (seit der Thronfolge 1714 der neue Name des ''Queen's Theatre'') auf die Bühne und hatte sechs Aufführungen.

== Handlung ==
Im Mittelpunkt der Handlung steht der Ritter Rinaldo. Ihm hat Goffredo, General des christlichen Heeres, die Hand seiner Tochter Almirena versprochen - als Lohn für einen Sieg gegen die feindlichen [[Sarazenen]]. Deren König Argante plant die Entführung der Almirena, und er nimmt für die Tat die Hilfe seiner Geliebten Armida in Anspruch, die über [[Magie|magische Kräfte]] verfügt. Durch die Entführung wollen sie auch Rinaldo in ihre Gewalt bekommen.

In der sarazenischen Gefangenschaft muss sich Almirena allerdings den Zudringlichkeiten des Argantes erwehren. Ihre unglückliche Lage besingt sie mit der Arie ''Lascia ch´io pianga''. Tatsächlich findet Rinaldo seine Braut Almirena in der Gefangenschaft. Eine Befreiung des christlichen Liebespaares gelingt erst Goffredo, der jedoch hierzu die magischen Kräfte von Mago bemühen muss. Ritter Rinaldo und seine Braut Almirena finden schließlich zusammen. In der Folge [[Konversion (Religion)|konvertieren]] Argante und Armida reumütig zum christlichen Glauben.

== Rezeption ==
'''1. Aufführungen'''

Die Oper ''Rinaldo'' war ein ausgesprochener Erfolg: Sie wurde 1711 insgesamt fünfzehn Mal gespielt. Auch bei den Wiederaufnahmen 1712, 1713, 1714, 1717 – jeweils mit kleineren Bearbeitungen und einzelnen Änderungen der Stimmlagen – war sie wieder sehr beliebt. ''Rinaldo'' kam noch 1711 nach Dublin, 1715 nach Hamburg, 1718 nach Mailand und Neapel. Zu Händels Lebzeiten erreichte die Oper die Zahl von insgesamt 53 Aufführungen.

Dreihundert Jahre nach der Uraufführung hatte die Oper ''Rinaldo'' im [[Opernhaus Kiel]] im Herbst 2010 eine Premiere, die mit den aktuellen Diskussionen zwischen Gläubigen aus den beiden Religionen [[Christentum]] und [[Islam]] begründet wird. In der Regie von [[Thomas Enzinger]] bleibt dabei der Blick auf den nicht lösbaren Konflikt säkular und satirisch.<ref>Beilage ''Theaterzeit''. In: Kieler Nachrichten, Oktober 2010.</ref>

'''2. Arie'''

Zum großen Erfolg der Oper hat vor allem die Arie der Almirena ''Lascia ch´io pianga mia cruda sorte (Lass mich beweinen mein grausames Schicksal)'' beigetragen. Der italienische Text von Giacomo Rossi lautet:
<blockquote>
Lascia ch’io pianga 
Mia cruda sorte, 
E che sospiri 
La libertà. 
Il duolo infranga 
Queste ritorte 
De’ miei martiri 
Sol per pietà. 
</blockquote>

Die Singstimme entfaltet in ihrer Schlichtheit eine anrührende Melodie. Die als Sarabande angelegte Arie wird von einem ruhig schreitenden, akkordischen Streichersatz begleitet. Das Stück ist vielfach von Musikern verschiedener Stilrichtungen adaptiert und bearbeitet worden. Der dänische Regisseur [[Lars von Trier]] verwendete das Lied für den Prolog und Epilog seines Films [[Antichrist (Film)|Antichrist]].

'''3. Bühneneffekte'''

Der damals anhaltende Erfolg der Oper ''Rinaldo'' wurde nicht nur in ihrer überschaubaren Handlung sowie im Einsatz bereits erprobter Nummern gesehen, sondern auch in der Integration besonders wirksamer Bühneneffekte. Hierzu zählten die Auftritte der Zauberer und die jeweilige Mitwirkung eines Schwarms [[Sperlinge]]. Hinzu kamen als ein wirkungsvoller Effekt die [[Intermezzo (Oper)|Intermezzi]], die der Komponist Händel auf dem [[Cembalo]] improvisierte.
