MAN AND MUSIC: BEETHOVEN, THE COMPOSER AS HERO (CLASSICAL VIENNA) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22010 Where the Third Symphony had been intended as a tribute to the principles of the French Revolution, the Fifth was a shout of defiance against the presence of the French conquerors in Vienna. For the composer, the next few years were a time of growing emotional crisis:he increasingly shunned company, his creative output virtually ceased, his romantic loves went unrequited, his deafness became more total. Then the political climate changed and Beethoven became the cultural hero of the Congress of Vienna, a mysterious, somewhat remote genius whose art was turning inward. The program ends with the last movement of the Ninth Symphony.

MAN AND MUSIC: HAYDN AND THE ESTERHAZYS (COMPOSER AND COURT) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22060 Haydn spent nearly 40 years on the staff of the wealthy and powerful Esterhazys, writing and conducting a range of music for the family, from comic operas to chamber pieces to Masses.

When the Church refused her an annulment, Liszt took holy orders and was thereafter known as the Abbe Liszt. As for the relationship with the court, henceforth it was the composer who patronized the wealthy with his presence and his genius.

MAN AND MUSIC: LONDON, THE MUSICAL CAPITAL (GEORGIAN LONDON) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22090 The end of the 18th century marked the peak of England's power.

After Haydn's departure in 1795, it would be a hundred years before significant music was composed in London again.

MAN AND MUSIC: MONTEVERDI IN MANTUA (COMPOSER AND COURT) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22100 The Gonzaga family of Mantua were lavish patrons of the Renaissance arts, drawing painters, poets, and musicians to their court. Monteverdi, the foremost composer of the latter part of the 16th century in Italy, was at first a string player in the ducal ensemble but became head of the musical establishment, writing religious works, madrigals set to the greatest lyric poetry of the age, and with "Orfeo", effectively creating the genre of opera.

MAN AND MUSIC: MOZART, A GENIUS IN HIS TIME (CLASSICAL VIENNA) (VHS). 1989. 53 min. color. #22040 The last five years of Mozart's life were difficult.

MAN AND MUSIC: MUSIC FOR THE WORLD (RUSSIA) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22120 The musical era that began at the turn of the century was filled with turbulent change: virtuoso performers like Scriabin and Heifetz emerged from the conservatories, and one world-class composer followed another. In many ways, the Composer's Corner of Leningrad's Lavra Cemetery sums up the story of Russian music, but Rachmaninov and Stravinsky lived abroad, showing that Russian music had entered the Western world on its own terms. Stravinsky and Schoenberg would turn out to have been the giants of their time.

MAN AND MUSIC: MUSIC OF AN EMPIRE (CLASSICAL VIENNA) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22130 Shows the historical circumstances that made Vienna the musical capital of Europe and describes the flourishing of both Italian opera and sacred music; illustrates the role of castrati and how their roles are handled today; discusses the distinctions between chamber and orchestral music and the birth of both classical style and symphonic form; and demonstrates the progression during the 18th century from stilted to natural, from Cesti's "Il Pomo d'Oro" to Gluck's "Orfeo."

MAN AND MUSIC: SCHUBERT, THE YOUNG ROMANTIC (CLASSICAL VIENNA) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22200 In his own time, Schubert was vastly underrated - most of his orchestral works were performed only a few times during his lifetime and then largely in his family circle. Despite his lack of success in his own day, he is recognized today as the first and greatest composer of German Lieder, and the composer of some of the finest and most emotionally intense chamber music.

MAN AND MUSIC: THE AGE OF REASON (ROME) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #21990 This is the age of the Baroque, the age of the grand musical spectacle: opera and the church's answer to opera, the oratorio.

MAN AND MUSIC: THE GOLDEN AGE (ROME) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22050 Centers around the music of Arcangelo Corelli, spanning the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

The program culminates with two compositions by Handel, "Resurezzione" and "Dixit Dominus".

MAN AND MUSIC: THE ITALIAN CONNECTION (GEORGIAN LONDON) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22070 Handel came to London in the employ of George of Hanover, who subsequently became the British King George I. Handel's first works in England were Italian operas. One of his first major English works was "Acis and Galatea". The program sets the stage against which his music was written in terms of the aristocratic tastes of the time, the fondness for operatic stars, and the political background that gave rise to Handel's "Water Music" and his anthems, particularly "Zadok the Priest".

MAN AND MUSIC: THE NEW MUSIC (VIENNA, END OF AN EMPIRE) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22140 When, around 1909, Schoenberg broke with the tonal system that had been the standard language of classical Western music, he already had two brilliant pupils, Alban Berg and Anton Webern; they would stand with him through difficult times and comprise with him the so-called Second Viennese School. The next step beyond atonality was serialism.

MAN AND MUSIC: THE SEARCH FOR A VOICE (RUSSIA) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22160 Traces the cultural history of Russia from the 17th century, covering the cultural role of the tsars, the building of St. Petersburg, the enthusiasm for France cut short by the Napoleonic invasion, the role of Pushkin and, above all, of Glinka.

MAN AND MUSIC: THE WALTZ CITY (VIENNA) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22190 Vienna waltzed to the music of the Strausses as the Hapsburg Empire dwindled away in the 19th century. The most distinguished serious composers living in Vienna during the heyday of the Strausses were two Germans, Johannes Brahms and Richard Wagner. The program continues through the work of Anton Bruckner, and contains a priceless segment of Brahms speaking and playing a few chords on the piano to inaugurate Mr. Edison's new phonograph machine.

MAN AND MUSIC: TURN OF THE CENTURY (VIENNA) (VHS) 1989. 53 min. sd. color. #22170 Vienna was slow to accept modernism, trying on a number of fairly new styles before really committing itself to the 20th century. This was the Vienna of Mahler and Wolf, of Freud and Klimt and Kokoschka, of Richard Strauss and Arnold Schoenberg - a Vienna that found "The Merry Widow" pleasant and relaxing and ignored, hooted at or walked out on the strange new sounds emerging.

MAN AND THE STATE: THE TRIAL OF SOCRATES (VHS) 1972. 29 min. sd. color. #34860 (Second VHS copy available #56420) The trial and death of Socrates are important events in the history of Western civilization, posing questions that are still troubling today: How far should a society go in suppressing ideas it feels are dangerously disruptive? Should a person obey laws (s)he feels are unjust?

MAN, GOD AND AFRICA (VHS) 1995. 51 min. sd. color. #60740 While the media has focused on the violent history of South Africa, it has paid little attention to a social phenomenon of great importance. Some nine million South African blacks live with a strong commitment to their religion, Pentecostal Christianity. Their faith has enabled them to survive appalling hardship and deprivation. Their religion is a blend of deep-rooted African traditions and the imported values of Christianity. This commitment could be a stabilizing force in South Africa.
