His distinctive style and endless quest for reinventing his art mirrors what I aspire to in my own creative ethos. Subsequently, it seems that this thesis was always in my foreground, for years tempting me to combine Piazzolla’s tango music with my love of both flute playing and the pursuit of new performance ideas. Yet with any journey towards new pursuits, the road towards fruition is always dotted with beautiful spirits who help to carry, support, and encourage the explorer at different stages of the walk. To these kind souls I wholeheartedly offer my gratitude: To the staff at the University of Huddersfield Music Department who funded this project from its conception to completion, and with much encouragement along the way. A special mention goes to Dr. Lisa Colton, Dr. Monty Adkins, and Dr. David Milsom, who despite their busy schedules allowed their office doors to be open for all kinds of brilliant conversations over the years. Particularly to my supervisor Dr. Philip Thomas – who despite being a man of Morton Feldman, Christian Wolff, and John Cage, opened himself to a new world of mugre, mufa and arrastres, always over a chocolate biscuit and his usual, straight-up, strong black Americano (!). He kept his sense of belief in the work when I sometimes lost mine, and with his gentle guidance, endless enthusiasm, and unwavering support, I could not have imagined a more wonderful person to be my supervisor. To Irene Cudich and Dr. Tim Rutherford Johnson, for their time, expertise and care in proofing the final draft under tight deadlines. Both are truly ‘behind the scenes’ academic champions. With special thanks to the tangueros over the decade who have given me not only the precious gift of friendship, but countless thoughts, interviews, performances, emails, lessons, and those invaluable scores – inside and outside of Buenos Aires: Paulina Fain, Exequiel Mantega, Ben Bogart, Kristin Wendland, Julie Taylor, Kacey Quin Link, Victoria Polti, Analia Trillo, Martin Kutnowski, Marcelo Costas, Yuiko Asaba, Jorge Strada, Sergio Gorostiaga, Alexander Graham Yooll, Gregory Nisnevich, and Santiago Argilla. 4 To those inspiring musical colleagues and students who gave me the platform on which to trial ideas, and offered me their own musical opinions, pedagogical tips, and technical expertise at various stages of this work: Pierre-André Valade, Fabio Franco, Dr. Abigail Dolan, Dr. Henry Stobart, Stephanie Jutt, Wissam Boustany, Laura Kaufmann, Andrew Yates, Emi Jarvi Carmichael, Stephanie Morrison, Anna Östberg, Pamela Endsley, Richard Blake, and Dr. Jack Sheinbaum. To my fellow duo partner, guitarist, and Brazilian implicante, Hans Michael Anselmo Hess, who through our many performances gave me complete freedom to ‘test’ my research in the form of much freedom and improvisation according to our similar ethos in not only alma, but also samba, bossa nova, chôro, maxixe, and, of course, Piazzolla’s tango. To the ladies of South County Wicklow who walked with me through those magical forests, and joined me for those infamous Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies (when times were both good and bad): Deirdre O’Connor, Emmaline Duffy-Fallon, Ana Sofia Ramos, Catherine Maguire and Maria Golpe Varela. For Bobby Dazzler, the skinny, stray black dog with a shiny fur coat that appeared off a country road one spring day while I was writing this thesis – and then stayed for good. I am grateful for his examples of authenticity, intuition, and enthusiasm about the little details in life – even if he still remains suspicious of the sound of a bandoneón (Piazzolla’s, or otherwise). To the invaluable support of my New Mexican family: to my grandfather and professor, Dr. Ferdinand Quiñones, from whom I receive my Puertorriqueña roots, and also wanderlust for undertaking research in new lands. Especially to my incredible parents Debi Partridge, Marguerite and Bill Quiñones – from my first flute note in Arizona, they still encourage my musical aspirations 25 years later. I am so blessed to have them. But most of all, to my Cumbrian warrior and best friend, the Sunshine of My Life, Phil T. Byrne. His spirited humour, song, 8am dance parties, tango lessons in Buenos Aires, endless cups of Irish tea (with the perfect amount of milk), software knowhow, unending encouragement, and unwavering strength lovingly accompanied me the entire way across those five countries to find our new life. To this I will forever be beholden.

  • Astor Piazzolla This Is the Story of Travel, Travail and Triumph in the Life
    Astor Piazzolla This is the story of travel, travail and triumph in the life of an Argentine musician, Astor Pantaléon Piazzolla. His travels were two-fold: across the continents and through many kinds of music. That he was able eventually to combine these musical strands into something new and distinctively his own was his triumph, but it was long-delayed and there were many travails along the way. Argentina’s spectacular 19th century boom had attracted millions of migrants, including Piazzolla’s Italian grandparents. By the time of Piazzolla’s birth in 1921, it was long over, but the rich ethnic mix it created had left a musical legacy. In the brothels of Buenos Aires, the music and dance of Spain, Cuba and Italy had fused with that of the gauchos and Afro- Argentine ex-slaves to create a new dance form, the tango. Its early manifestations were blatantly sexual and reeked too much of the bordello to be tolerated in polite society. But after some refinement in the salons of Paris it emerged in 1912 to sweep the world. Argentina especially went wild for the tango and its quintessential instrument, the bandoneón, an odd form of concertina with a characteristic tone. A public holiday, July 11, was declared Bandoneón Day, and tango cafés, dance halls and cabaret houses sprang up everywhere to cater for every social stratum. Astor’s father, Vincente, was an enthusiastic tanguero and dreamed that his son would become a bandoneonist. His dream came true but hardly in the way he imagined. It was with great reluctance that Vincente took his family away from this lively scene to search for prosperity in New York and it almost proved disastrous for his son.

    ISSN Escúchame, alúmbrame. 0329-2142 Apuntes de Apuntes sobre el canon de “la investigación del CECYP música joven” argentina entre 2015. Año XVII. 1966 y 1973 Nº 25. pp. 11-25. Recibido: 20/03/2015. Aceptado: 5/05/2015. Sergio Pujol* Tema central: Rock I. No caben dudas de que estamos viviendo un tiempo de fuerte interroga- ción sobre el pasado de lo que alguna vez se llamó “la música joven ar- gentina”. Esa música ya no es joven si, apelando a la metáfora biológica y más allá de las edades de sus oyentes, la pensamos como género desarro- llado en el tiempo según etapas de crecimiento y maduración autónomas. Veámoslo de esta manera: entre el primer éxito de Los Gatos y el segundo CD de Acorazado Potemkin ha transcurrido la misma cantidad de años que la que separa la grabación de “Mi noche triste” por Carlos Gardel y el debut del quinteto de Astor Piazzolla. ¿Es mucho, no? En 2013 la revista Rolling Stone edición argentina dedicó un número es- pecial –no fue el primero– a los 100 mejores discos del rock nacional, en un arco que iba de 1967 a 2009. Entre los primeros 20 seleccionados, 9 fueron grabados antes de 1983, el año del regreso de la democracia. Esto revela que, en el imaginario de la cultura rock, el núcleo duro de su obra apuntes precede la época de mayor crecimiento comercial. Esto afirmaría la idea CECYP de una época heroica y proactiva, expurgada de intereses económicos e ideológicamente sostenida en el anticonformismo de la contracultura es- tadounidense adaptada al contexto argentino.

  • Entrevista Antonio Agri Antonio Agri
    Entrevista Antonio Agri Antonio Agri: Es muy difícil en Argentina, la Argentina es muy difícil. Entrevistadora: ¿Y por qué cambió? ¿Por Menem? ¿por todo el gobierno? ¿eso? Antonio Agri: No, no, nunca. Siempre, antes de Menem también, si con Piazzolla hemos sufrido horrores. Nosotros con Piazzolla no trabajábamos nada, nos mordíamos la liebre con Astor, una mentira total. Piazzolla por eso se tuvo que ir también. Entrevistadora: Porque acá no dan plata para la cultura. Antonio Agri: No, aparte es… cuando uno intenta hacer algo que es de cierta calidad no sirve, en este país no sirve. La mediocridad es muy grande, o sea, en Europa también existe la mediocridad. Pero el que vale tiene lugar. Acá el que vale no tiene ningún lugar por eso no hay nadie, o sea, hay gente que se merece estar en algún lugar y no tiene dónde trabajar. Entrevistadora: Por eso ya viajaron a Japón ¿no? Antonio Agri: Sí, fuimos y ya nos contactaron otra vez, pero vamos a lugares, digamos, como si fuera… Allá se sorprendieron todos “¿Pero cómo es un conjunto de cámara?” y va con la noticia, claro. Y tocamos los mismos areglos que se han tocado siempre. La música popular, sacando honrosas excepciones, la cuestión matices, no. Un director de sinfónica acá nos decía:“ No se olviden nunca que los músicos malos tocan fuerte. Solamente músicos buenos tocan bien.” Entrevistadora: Sí, sí. Antonio Agri: Es muy difícil, muy difícil. Bueno, usted dirá. Entrevistadora: Bueno. Yo tengo una pregunta quizás un poco grave, pero yo soy de ascendiente judía y escuché mucho la música klezmer ¿no? Y ahora escuchando el violín en el tango yo me pregunté o me pareció que el estilo o la especie de rubato, de llegar a la nota con glissando me hace recordar mucho la música que conozco allá del este.

  • Quinteto Astor Piazzolla – Bio (Revised September 2020)
    Quinteto Astor Piazzolla – Bio (revised September 2020) In 1960, bandoneonist and composer Astor Piazzolla looked for a new instrument to interpret his ideas and put together his first great quintet. It was an unusual group, especially for tango, as it featured bandoneon, violin, electric guitar, piano, and double bass. Part chamber group, part jazz band, but deeply rooted in the spirit and history of tango, the quintet offered Piazzolla a broad range of resources and possibilities that proved critical for his New Tango. A decade later, Piazzolla, always restless and attuned to the musical trends of the time, dissolved the quintet, experimented with other ensembles, and decided to settle for a time in Europe. But in 1978, back in Buenos Aires, he went back to the sound of the quintet, assembling a new group that would stay with him for the next decade. It was a superb group that performed his, by now, classics, and pushed him to create new masterpieces. Piazzolla's death, on July 4, 1992, marked a new stage for his work. From then on, others would have to continue his efforts and champion his music. With that purpose, Laura Escalada Piazzolla, his companion of nearly 20 years, created the Fundación Astor Piazzolla and, in 1998, founded the Quinteto Astor Piazzolla, a repertory group to perform and update the sound of his emblematic ensemble. Creating an ensemble to play Piazzolla is no easy task. Instrumental virtuosity is indispensable — but not enough. This music also demands street wisdom, boldness, and a certain quality that the maestro called "roña" (grime) — the perfection of the imperfect.

  • 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.

Chapter 2 Another Look at the History of Tango The Intimate Connection of Rural ·and Urban Music in Argentina at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century Julia Chindemi and Pablo Vila Since the late nineteenth century, popular music has actively participated in the formation of different identities in Argentine society, becoming a very relevant discourse in the production, not only of significant subjectivities, but also of emotional and affective agencies. In the imaginary of the majority of Argentines, the tango is identified as "music of the city," fundame ntally linked to the city of Buenos Aires and its neighborhoods. In this imaginary, the music of the capital of the country is distinguished from the music of the provinces (including the province of Buenos Aires), which has been called campera, musica criolla, native, folk music, etc.

  • Elements of Argentine Tango a Resource Manual for Dancers
    Elements of Argentine Tango A Resource Manual for Dancers http://abqtango.org 1 History of Argentine Tango by Mike Higgins When talking about the history of the Tango, the reader should consider that although there were many ‘influences’ in the creation and life of the Tango, it is very important not to assume that it was some form of linear development Whilst dances and music from around the world have had some influence, this rather detracts from the people who really created and evolved the Tango into its current form. These are the people of Buenos Aires, who in the bars, cafes and dance halls made the Tango, danced the Tango, lived, loved and occasionally died for the Tango. It is the voice of the streets of Buenos Aires. Any suggestion that they may be dancing some sort of second hand steps or regurgitating music taken from Europe or Africa must be rejected as some what insulting to all the great milongueros who have danced and innovated down though years. It is equally insulting to the great Tango maestros who have drawn on their own life experiences when composing music. Almost certainly, the most important factor in the evolution of the Tango was the influence brought in by the Habanera, created in Havana, Cuba, and also known as the Andalusian Tango. Unfortunately there is now insufficient information to assess exactly how this was originally danced. The Habanera was based on the concept of a ’walk’, the same as the Tango. At some point the Milonga and The Habanera were fused to form the embryonic version of the Tango.
