  • Ottorino Respighi, Musicista Geniale Ed Estroverso a 130 Anni Dalla Nascita
    Ottorino Respighi, musicista geniale ed estroverso a 130 anni dalla nascita. di Giuseppe Testa Ottorino Respighi è, tra i compositori italiani del secolo scorso, quello che trovò diffusione e fama internazionale sin dall’inizio della sua carriera. E’ ricordato soprattutto per i tre poemi sinfonici romani, capolavori della letteratura sinfonica del ‘900 italiano, ma è anche stato un apprezzato musicologo. Respighi nasce a Bologna il 9 luglio 1879, inizia gli studi del pianoforte e del violino con il padre Giuseppe, studi che continua al liceo musicale di Bologna, dove è allievo di F. Sarti per il violino e la viola, C. Dall’Olio per il contrappunto e la fuga, L. Torchi e di G. Martucci per la composizione. E’ proprio Martucci che lo interessa alle forme sinfoniche e cameristiche dei romantici tedeschi, sino ad allora poco praticate in Italia. Si Diploma in violino nel 1899 e in composizione nel 1901 al liceo musicale di Bologna. Subito dopo si trasferisce in Russia dove ricopre il posto di prima viola dell’orchestra del Teatro Imperiale a San Pietroburgo, studiando per cinque mesi con Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov con cui può approfondire lo studio della sinfonia e del poema sinfonico, evidenziando la tendenza al descrittivismo e l’abilità nel trattamento dell’orchestra. Nel 1902 è accompagnatore in una scuola di canto a Berlino, dove conosce Ferruccio Busoni ed ha modo di studiare con Max Bruch. Ma la sua attività principale fino al 1908 è quella di violista, solo dopo si dedica alla composizione. Nel 1911 torna in Italia per sostituire il suo maestro L.

  • Rubinoff-Formatted Proceedings-8
    Sacre Celebration 2013 Rubinoff Frank Martin’s La nique à Satan: The Dalcroze Connection Daniel Rubinoff York University Abstract This presentation focuses on the creative affinity between Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865- 1950) and fellow Swiss composer Frank Martin (1890-1974). Early in his career, Martin forged close ties with Dalcroze’s Eurhythmics method, and in 1926, he enrolled in Dalcroze’s Geneva-based Institut Jaques-Dalcroze. He graduated with a Diplôme in 1928 and taught there as a professor of improvisation and rhythmic theory until 1937. During Martin’s tenure as professor of rhythmic theory and improvisation at Dalcroze’s Institut, he composed the score for La nique à Satan. Martin conceived of a popular theatre piece that included singing, mime, dance and elaborate costumes. He involved numerous Institut teachers and students in the Geneva première on February 25, 1933. Martin also dedicated the vocal/piano edition of the score to Dalcroze. This talk will explain how the songs in Martin’s composition resemble some of the prominent aspects of Dalcroze’s Eurhythmics method. The eurhythmic subjects of irregular beats, anacrusic rhythms, complementary rhythm and bodily gesture correspond with important aspects of Martin’s score. The presentation also includes footage from a 1998 performance of La nique à Satan by the Swiss ensemble, Choeur d’Avully. Introduction It’s a great pleasure to be a part of this group of papers that explores post-Rite artistic currents. My purpose today is to explore the connection between Émile Jaques-Dalcroze and fellow Swiss composer Frank Martin. I will discuss this connection in the context of Dalcroze’s eurhythmics method and its affinity with Martin’s theatrical piece, La nique à Satan.

  • Respighi Ottorino
    RESPIGHI OTTORINO Compositore e strumentista italiano (Bologna 9 VI 1879 - Roma 18 IV 1936) 1 Nato da una famiglia di musicisti (il nonno Tommaso era organista del duomo di Fidenza) fu avviato alla musica dal padre, ottimo pianista e didatta. Iscritto al liceo musicale di Bologna (1891), studiò violino con F. Sarti, diplomandosi nel 1899, e contemporaneamente seguì le lezioni di contrappunto e fuga di C. Dall'Olio e di composizione di L. Torchi e G. Martucci. Nel 1900 fu a Pietroburgo, come orchestrale nella stagione operistica italiana dei teatri imperiali e conobbe Rimskij-Korsakov dal quale ebbe varie lezioni di composizione rimaste essenziali (come dichiarò lo stesso Respighi) per la sua formazione artistica. Tornato a Bologna, si diplomò in composizione nel 1901. L'anno dopo tornò in Russia come prima viola dell'Opera di Pietroburgo e vi rimase nove mesi, prendendo contatto con l'ambiente artistico che faceva capo ad A. Benois (il figlio Nicola sarà poi uno degli scenografi più cari a Respighi). Nel 1903 ritornò in Italia e l'anno dopo fu eseguita dal pianista F. Ivaldi a Bologna, sotto la direzione di B. Mugellini, la sua Fantasia in Sol minore per pianoforte ed orchestra che ottenne notevole successo. Nel 1905 la sua opera Re Enzo fu rappresentata dagli studenti dell'università di Bologna ed in quello stesso anno Respighi entrò come viola nel quintetto Mugellini per il quale compose il Quintetto in Fa. Nel 1908 R. Ferrari diresse al Metropolitan di New York il Notturno per orchestra e A. Nikish, a Berlino, la sua trascrizione per orchestra del Lamento di Arianna di Monteverdi.

PROGRAM NOTES Martin was born in Geneva in 1890, the tenth child of a Calvinist minister of French and Dutch ancestry. He was the most musical child in the family, and sought refuge from the trials of the youngest in music. At age ten or eleven he attended a performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion, which had an overwhelming effect on him. He called this "the event of my life. I followed the Passion from end to end, not knowing where I was; I was in any case no longer in the hall, I no longer recognized anyone, I was as transported to heaven." Much later, Martin said that when he wrote his oratorio, Golgotha, on the passion story, he had first to overcome an immense sense of unworthiness, His musical gifts were evident at the early age of eight or nine, and he was a performer and composer all his life, yet two-thirds of his works were written after he was fifty.

You showed me what I couldn’t see, and gave me encouragements more than I deserve. It has been the biggest privilege to study with you and to be next to you. Living up to be your student means so much to me, and it will continue to be for the rest of my life. You are always in my heart. I thank my former teachers and doctoral committee members, Edmund Battersby and Jean-Louis Haguenauer. I am immensely thankful that you discovered what I could be, and I would not have made my way through without you believing in the best out of me. Thank you for your guidance, love and generous supports all these years. Thank you all for showing me the path, and helping me believe that I can walk through it. Words are not enough to tell you how blessed I feel. Thank you so much. iv Preface Frank Martin (1890-1974) gained a considerable recognition as an internationally renowned musician and one of the most celebrated composers of Switzerland during his lifetime.1 Nevertheless, Martin’s compositions face challenge in continuing the legacy, as his outputs struggle to make strong stance in the stream of major concert venues in America, with an exception of Petite Symphony Concertante, Op.54 (1944).
