Between the Barlines ·

2025/11/24

Welcome back to Between the Barlines. We’ve made it to the last episode of season 5! Thanks for joining me this season. I’m excited about next season, because we will be exploring the first half of the 20th century. This is also where our musical history becomes extremely dense - I’m going to split the 20th century into at least 2 seasons, so be on the lookout! Today, we are going to chat about the transition from the 19th century into the 20th century to wrap up the season.Buy me a Coffee:

The "English Musical Rensaissance"

2025/11/20

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we’re going to speak about England in the 19th century. As you may have noticed, we really haven’t spoken too much about this country in our episodes since maybe the renaissance era. I think that is especially poignant in today’s episode because we can finally understand why - it took a while, but eventually England was able to find its own national voice, much like other countries that we’ve spoken about at the end of the 19th century.

The Mighty Five

Between the Barlines ·

2025/11/19

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we turn our attention to 19th-century Russia, which at this time was a country bursting with folk traditions, vast landscapes, and an identity that hadn’t yet found its place on the classical stage. That is until five composers decided to change everything. They called themselves The Mighty Handful. We know them today as The Mighty Five: Mily Balakirev, César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and Alexander Borodin. Buy me a Coffee:

Hybrid Styles in the late 19th Century

Between the Barlines ·

2025/11/18

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! Today, we have a very interesting discussion about hybrid styles. You might be wondering what this means, and I think it actually revolves around one question: What happens when composers merge national traditions, older musical forms, and new harmonic languages all at once? Composers mentioned as hybrid composers: Franck, Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Chausson, D'Indy, Dvořák, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, and Borodin.Buy me a Coffee:

Late 19th Century Opera

Between the Barlines ·

2025/11/10

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! Today, we’re discussing the changes happening in the late 19th century. This was the era of French lyricism, Italian verismo, and the beginnings of Russian opera. By the 1870s and 1880s, audiences wanted something new. The grandeur of earlier Romantic opera was there, but people yearned for realism and emotional immediacy. The result was an operatic world more intimate, visceral, and recognizably human than ever before.Buy me a

Giacomo Puccini and the verismo style

Between the Barlines ·

2025/11/07

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! We are almost done with our episodes addressing opera in the 19th century. Today’s episode is one that I have been looking forward to the most, because as of last year, Giacomo Puccini broke into my top five favorite composers, specifically because of his operas Tosca and Madama Butterfly that we did at Pittsburgh Opera. I’m really excited to talk to you about him today and encourage you to take a listen to some of the operas listed in the episode notes for an

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! We are going to continue our chat on 19th century opera today with another innovator of opera, Giuseppe Verdi. Or as we refer to him sometimes in the opera world - Mean Joe Green!! Throughout Verdi’s lifetime, he wrote 28 operas, all of which continued the innovations that we saw at the beginning of the century with bel canto singing. Today we will see what these traits and innovations were as well as touch on many of his operas.Buy me a Coffee:

Richard Wagner and Gesamtkunstwerk

2025/11/03

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am excited again to continue our chat about 19th century opera, with today’s focus being on the works of Richard Wagner. We will learn that Wagner wasn’t just a composer; he was a dramatist, philosopher, and provocateur whose ideas reshaped what opera could be. His music is monumental and his legacy is deeply complicated.

19th Century Opera: an overview

Between the Barlines ·

2025/10/29

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! Opera became more than entertainment during this time; it became a mirror of political upheaval, national identity, and human passion. From the grandeur of Italian bel canto to the sweeping psychological landscapes of Wagner, 19th-century opera redefined what it meant to tell stories through music.Buy me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/betweenthebarlinesOperas mentioned in this episode:Rossini -The Barber of SevilleBellini -

2025/10/22

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! We have somewhat of a baseline episode today; what I mean by that is we are going to touch on a few composers and what they did for orchestral and chamber music in the 19th century. These are composers like Berlioz, Liszt, Brahms, Wagner and more.

Romantic Choral Music

2025/10/20

Welcome Back to Between the Barlines! I am very very excited to introduce today’s episode to you because it is all about choral music! This is a genre that is very near and dear to my heart, and this repertoire coupled with renaissance choral music is some of my favorite to study AND sing! When most of us think of the Romantic period, we imagine the piano works of Chopin or the symphonies of Tchaikovsky. But alongside those grand orchestral gestures, the human voice became one of the most powerful

On 19th century German Poetry

2025/10/08

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! As promised really for the last 2 episodes, I would be extremely remiss if I didn’t speak about poetry, and specifically German poetry, from the 19th century. Many of the texts of famous German lieder from this time are due to the very important figures, of which we are about to chat about. The great poets of the German Romantic movement inspired composers like Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn, and Brahms to create songs that gave
