  • Le Cas Satie'
    CONTEMPORARY CRITICISM AND 'LE CAS SATIE' by KARIN SANDBERG-BRENNAN B.Mus., San Francisco State University, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Music Department We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA June 1983 © Karin Sandberg-Brennan, 1983 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of Music The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date: 10 June 1983 i i Abstract While scholars recognize Satie's important influence on the music of our century, the extent and specific nature of his influence has yet to be defined. Focusing on analyses of his personality and his music, modern literature continually neglects to study Satie's historical importance. It is his so- called bizarre and eccentric personality and the pretended simplicity of his musical style that have, in general, attracted modern authors' attention. Consequently, a controversy known as "Le Cas Satie" has developed: How could an eccentric composer whose music is frequently considered inconsequential, have truly exerted the great influence attributed to him in modern literature? If Satie's historical position is to be understood, modern literature's portrayal of the composer must be examined for accuracy, and the extent of his impact must be clarified.

  • Vexation Hoch Web.Pdf
    “Vexations – Flexations“ nach Erik Satie 20 Stunden 20 Performance & Konzert Jahre 25. & 26.05. 2019 PUC 16 bis 12 Uhr Ein Projekt der Musikschule Puchheim und des Puchheimer Kulturcentrums PUC „Vexations – Flexations“ ein musikalisches Projekt nach Erik Satie. Im November 2001 wurden die „Vexations“ von Erik Satie im Puchheimer Kulturcentrum PUC unter dem Titel „Satie satt“ als gemeinsames Projekt mit der Musikschule Puchheim und dem Kulturverein Puchheim e.V. aufgeführt. 840mal wurde das kurze Musikstück von über 200 Musikern ohne Pause und auf verschiedene Instrumente verteilt wiederholt. Die Veranstaltung dauerte 24 Stunden. Anläßlich des 20jährigen PUC-Geburtstags entwickelten das Puchheimer Kulturcentrum PUC und die Musikschule Puchheim eine Projektidee, bei der die „Vexations“ im Jahr 2019 nunmehr die Grundlage für das Projekt „Vexations – Flexations“ bilden. Satie hat seine Musik aus Fertig - teilen, einzelnen Bausteinen, die er motif nannte, konstruiert und auf jegliche musikalische Entwicklung, wie man sie bis dahin kannte, ver - zichtet. Diese Bausteine konnten beliebig aneinandergereiht und auch beliebig wiederholt werden. Dieses Prinzip der Reihung findet in den „Vexations“ seine ins absurde getriebene Gestalt: Ein motif wird 840mal wiederholt. Das Projekt „Vexations – Flexations“ dauert analog zum 20. PUC-Geburtstag 20 Stunden. Diese 20 Stunden werden in Intervalle zu 20 Minu - ten eingeteilt. In diesen Intervallen, die von den einzelnen Musikgruppen, Solomusikern, Schauspielern auch mehrfach hintereinander be - spielt werden können (am längsten bei drei Intervallen hintereinander) sollen Musik/Texte gespielt werden, die sich in irgendeiner Form auf Erik Satie beziehen (inhaltlich, formal, ideel, epochal…). In der Abfolge des Projekts wird Saties Kompositionsprinzip der Reihung streng bei - behalten, welches sich auch häufig in den Kompositionen/Bearbeitungen sowie Texten wiederfindet.

  • A L'occasion Du 150Ème Anniversaire De La Naissance D'erik Satie, Compositeur Et Pianiste Français Né En 1866 Et Mort En
    A l’occasion du 150ème anniversaire de la naissance d’Erik Satie, compositeur et pianiste français né en 1866 et mort en 1925, l’Espace musique de la Médiathèque de Vincennes vous propose un focus documentaire sur son œuvre. Erik Satie occupe une place particulière dans la création musicale française. Rattaché à la musique moderne du XXème siècle, cet excentrique et provocateur s’appliqua néanmoins toute sa vie à composer une musique en décalage avec le conformisme artistique du moment, que ce soit le romantisme, l’impressionnisme ou le wagnérisme. Connu pour son style particulier, caustique et personnel, il est qualifié de visionnaire et précurseur, notamment de la musique graphique (avec ses partitions calligraphiées et accompagnées de dessins et de poèmes) et de ce qu’il a appelé la « musique d’ameublement », qui se rapporte à ce qu’on appelle aujourd’hui la « musique d’ambiance ». Ses premières pièces pour son instrument de prédilection : le piano – emblématiques de son style minimaliste, dont ses fameuses Gymnopédies et Gnossiennes, mais surtout Vexations – servent par exemple de référence aux adeptes de la musique répétitive et conceptuelle. Cultivant avec finesse son goût pour l’autodérision, Erik Satie se distingue aussi par ses œuvres humoristiques et fantasques ; d’où sa quantité de pièces brèves aux titres incongrus (Morceaux en forme de poire, Véritables préludes flasques (pour un chien) ou Valses du précieux dégoûté) et parsemées d’annotations cocasses et souvent ironiques ; ce qui parallèlement, ne l’empêche pas de composer quelques chefs-d’œuvre de plus grande ambition comme son drame symphonique Socrate, son ballet « cubiste » Parade (en collaboration avec Cocteau et Picasso pour les Ballets russes) ou encore En habit de cheval, qui contient des fugues et du contrepoint.

  • Erik Satie Je Te Veux Pdf
    Erik satie je te veux pdf Continue Tout d’abord, nous vous recommandons d’écouter cette pièce dans la version piano, interprétée par Daniel Varsano, en cliquant ici. Nous vous suggérons également de cliquer ici pour l’écouter dans la version pour voix et piano, dans l’interprétation de la soprano Jesse Norman. Eric Satie, compositeur Français, est né à Onfleur, en Normandie, en 1866, fils de Normands et d’Écossais. Il passe son enfance entre la Normandie et Paris, où il commence à fréquenter le conservatoire en 1878. En 1885, fatigué des enseignements formalistes du conservatoire, il abandonne l’école pour s’enrôler dans l’armée. Il s’est vite rendu compte que l’armée n’était pas pour lui et, quelques semaines plus tard, volontairement exposé au froid, en demettant malade de la congestion et de se réformer. En 1887, il s’installe à Montmartre et devient un « artiste » ; Pianiste au club de cabaret Chat Noir, brièvement rejoint le mouvement mystique Rosa Croce, se lie d’amitié avec Debussy et compose les premières pièces de piano anti formaal (Sarabandes, Gnossiennes, Gymnop’dies). S’installant dans la banlieue industrielle parisienne d’Arcvale en 1905, dans la quarantaine, il décida de recommencer et s’inscrivit à Schola Cantorum pour étudier le contrepoint avec A. Roussel et la composition avec W. D’Indy, diplômé en 1908. Dans la controverse avec l’académisme musical et l’impressionnisme debussien, Sati s’intéresse à Diaghilev, Picasso et, enfin, Cocteau, avec qui il deviendra animateur du Groupe des Six en 1918. La musique de Dotta Satie contraste aujourd’hui avec la musique de tapisserie, musique d’ameublement, qui correspond aux postulats esthétiques publiés par Cocteau dans Le Coq et l’Arlequin (1918).
