Introduccion: Allegro pesante 2. Coral: Adagio 3. Fuga: Allegro vivace Argentinian composer and performer Astor Piazzolla is best known for elevating the status of Tango music, situating it as a serious music on par with other styles in the classical tradition. Yet the composer was not just interested in Tango – he was constantly expanding his musical boundaries – and Suite Punta del Este is one of his most successful orchestral works. Image credit: Christoffer Askman Written during Piazzolla’s stay in the Uruguayan holiday resort town Punta del Este, the Suite is said to have been inspired by the cathedral – in a city not far from the James Crabb composer’s holiday rental – in which it was first performed. Guest artist (classical accordion) Those who have seen the film Twelve Monkeys will recognise the first movement as the basis of its theme. The second movement has a distinct Baroque flavor, while the Scottish born James Crabb is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading energetic final movement showcases Piazzolla’s mastery of the art of counterpoint. ambassadors of the classical accordion. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Music with classical accordion pioneer Mogens Ellegaard and was awarded the Carl Nielsen Music Prize, Denmark in 1991.

He also performs and directs chamber orchestras from the instrument.

  • TANGO… the Perfect Vehicle the Dialogues and Sociocultural Circumstances Informing the Emergence and Evolution of Tango Expressions in Paris Since the Late 1970S
    TANGO… The Perfect Vehicle The dialogues and sociocultural circumstances informing the emergence and evolution of tango expressions in Paris since the late 1970s. Alberto Munarriz A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO March 2015 © Alberto Munarriz, 2015 i Abstract This dissertation examines the various dialogues that have shaped the evolution of contemporary tango variants in Paris since the late 1970s. I focus primarily on the work of a number of Argentine composers who went into political exile in the late 1970s and who continue to live abroad. Drawing on the ideas of Russian linguist Mikhail Bakhtin (concepts of dialogic relationships and polyvocality), I explore the creative mechanisms that allowed these and other artists to engage with a multiplicity of seemingly irreconcilable idioms within the framing concept of tango in order to accommodate their own musical needs and inquietudes. In addition, based on fieldwork conducted in Basel, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Gerona, Paris, and Rotterdam, I examine the mechanism through which musicians (some experienced tango players with longstanding ties with the genre, others young performers who have only recently fully embraced tango) engage with these new forms in order to revisit, create or reconstruct a sense of personal or communal identity through their performances and compositions. I argue that these novel expressions are recognized as tango not because of their melodies, harmonies or rhythmic patterns, but because of the ways these features are “musicalized” by the performers. I also argue that it is due to both the musical heterogeneity that shaped early tango expressions in Argentina and the primacy of performance practices in shaping the genre’s sound that contemporary artists have been able to approach tango as a vehicle capable of accommodating the new musical identities resulting from their socially diverse and diasporic realities.

  • CMA at Transformer Station — Norwegian Accordionist Frode Haltli by Mike Telin
    Preview: CMA at Transformer Station — Norwegian accordionist Frode Haltli by Mike Telin On Sunday, April 27 beginning at 7:30 pm, CMA Concerts at Transformer Station presents Norwegian virtuoso classical accordionist Frode Haltli. The program features music by Hans Abrahamsen, Magnar Åm, Arne Nordheim and Aldo Clementi. “Even though this program is classical contemporary music, I think it reflects my interests in different kinds of music,” Haltli said during a telephone conversation from his home in Norway. “It’s not your ordinary contemporary music, it [ventures] out into many different directions.” If you’re wondering about the term “classical accordion” you’re not alone. The instrument has yet to be recognized in many parts of the world as one associated with classical music. So why is that different in Scandinavia? “It really is because of one person, Danish player Mogens Ellegaard. He was the first accordionist to introduce the instrument to real composers in Scandinavia. He really developed the accordion in a more classical way, although in my view it will never be a traditional “classical” instrument.” Perhaps not, but if you take a quick glance at Haltli’s repertoire list on his website, you will find many recognizable contemporary composers such as Berio, Lindberg, Pintscher, Gubaidulina and Zorn, all of whom have composed for the instrument. “Magnus Lindberg has written two fantastic pieces that I have played a lot. Also, Sofia Gubaibulina has written some very important works for the instrument. Now there is quite a lot of repertoire to choose from.” I ask him to talk me through his program.

  • Honouring Every Note Nobody Knows When and Where A
    Honouring every note Nobody knows when and where a musician is born. Then one day there he is with his accordion; alone on the big stage or in the concert hall surrounded by strings, in the smoky basement with enthusiastically improvising free jazz players, or with a Hardanger fiddler and a folk singer on a simple wooden stage erected for the occasion; Frode Haltli seats himself on his stool, perfectly self-assured, the accordion safely resting in his shoulder straps; a quietly satisfied smile spreads over his frank, disarming face, no antics, no gestures. Can one really demand so little attention? Just a few seconds pass. Then the music sounds out. Where is it coming from? From the first note, he sets us, the audience, free. He is already into the work, he has already taken us with him into the music. How does it happen? 'Duende' is an expression used in the flamenco tradition to define the state when the singer's personal sorrows and passions pervade the music and we, the audience, as if by a touch of grace, hear life itself in its grief, pain and rejoicing. A similar expression is used by traditional Norwegian fiddlers; 'å ha dåm i spelet', that is the moment when through the fiddle player the 'springar' or 'halling' dance tune starts to live its own life and turn into a kind of cathedral; every member of the audience knows when it happens and that they too are in the 'cathedral'. In these rare but unique moments the wings of the music touch us; we can never forget it, we shall always long for it.

  • Acercamiento a La Interpretación Del Tango En El Violín
    Acercamiento a la interpretación del tango en el violín Propuesta de ejecución interpretativa en el violín de tres de los Six Tango-Etudes pour flûte seule de Astor Piazzolla Autor: Sebastián Montoya Vallejo1 [email protected] Resumen Una vez observada la fuerza que ha tenido el tango en la escena musical local y nacional, y a pesar de que dicho género ha sido declarado como patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO, su genuina y mejor interpretación no se encuentra relacionada con exactitud en las partituras originales de sus obras más representativas, toda vez que sus compositores tuvieron una preocupación menor por plasmar en la partitura las herramientas interpretativas típicas, y que eligieron hacer mayor énfasis en la ejecución de las técnicas tangueras concomitante con la interpretación del instrumento. Razón por la cual en el texto se pretende elaborar una propuesta interpretativa del violín en el tango a partir de tres de los Six Tango-Etudes pour flûte seule de Astor Piazzolla mediante el análisis de grabaciones de Astor Piazzola y de los trabajos investigativos realizados por Ramiro Gallo. La propuesta interpretativa realizada en este trabajo permite a violinistas con formación académica acercarse a la interpretación del tango con la técnica tradicional no sin antes advertir que existirán numerosas maneras de tocar tango, como bien lo dice Gallo, por lo que es necesario complementar con observación de grabaciones de otros referentes del tango Palabras clave: Tango, violín, interpretación, Estudios, Tangueros, Piazzolla, Tanguísticos Abstract Strength of the tango in the local and national music scene has been observed. Despite the fact that this genre has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, its genuine and better interpretation is not related with accuracy in the originals scores of their most representative works, maybe, because the composers had a minor concern to capture the interpretive tools in the score, but they chose to place greater emphasis on the execution of tango techniques in the interpretation of the instrument.
