It spans the sub- ject from scarce archaeological evidence of music more than 30000 years ago, over classical orchestra and chamber music to the latest rock and fusion masterpieces. My intention is not to give you a complete encyclopaedia of the most liked or most played composers and compositions. Others have done that very well. On the contrary, I want to select relatively few, crucial works that in my view constitute important progress in musical expression. The selection of music to be highlighted in this book focuses on works that bring something new to the music and step beyond the rules of convention at the time of composing, thereby breaking the ground for new experiences of sound. As a result there are some perfectly nice compositions made in already established musical styles that you will not find here, including several that by convention are present in most other treatises of music. As compensation, you will find works described, that per- haps you did not know - and which yet may end up filling you with the deepest joy and admiration when you listen to them. Fortu- nately, greatness and innovative spirit often go together. In any case, while you may not always be in agreement with my judge- ments, I hope you will disagree in a way that opens for constructive dialogue, whether with friends or just in your mind. The account attempts to cover music from the oldest to the most recent (“across times”), from all parts of the world, and from all genres, such as folk music, classical art music, jazz, musicals, rock and pop music (“across fences”). Running footers will display melody score excerpts for those read- ing musical notes. When this book project was started more than ten years ago, I considered adding a DVD with full-length re- cordings of some of the music highlighted in the book, from the best recordings available. Purchasing rights would have made the BENT SØRENSEN MUSIC ACROSS TIMES AND FENCES 4 PREFACE bundled DVD/book very expensive, and fortunately, the music scene has changed so that streaming services can now offer most of the music at low cost or freely. How to use such services along with reading the book is explained at the end in Notes to Recordings. The e-book version has direct links in the text to Notes and from Notes to the Internet music, while the print version provides track ID’s to type in on your computer, tablet or phone. However, one can also use the tracklists I have provided on the streaming media for each chapter or section, whether reading the print or the electronic ver- sion. Thus the music is just a click away. I have a background in several scientific disciplines and I am active in a small way in art and music composing. These particular skills are to blame, if this book makes interdisciplinary connections that would not occur to people without such a bag of experiences. That and the focus on musical innovation, whether by large or by small steps forward, is hopefully making the book stand out from the crowd, as well as making it more enjoyable.

INTRODUCTION 7 Introduction Music is a very basic part of many people's lives. Be it the current generation of walkman/smartphone carriers, web-music listeners, concert-goers, bathroom singers and members of the local rock band, or be it throughout history all those that have enjoyed sing- ing, playing instruments and listening to the beat of village drum- mers. Not to speak of those who themselves improvise, invent tunes or compose scores. The causes for this enthusiasm are the territories that I try to explore in this book. It therefore differs from many music books that focus on only one type of music: if classical then no rock music mentioned, if jazz then not a word on opera, and so on. Even inside each category, there are definite schools dis- cussing how to delimit the sub-fields. Writers following the German-Austrian musical tradition have de- livered books seeing Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert and Schumann as the basic cornerstones of good music. My treatise, while giving due credit to the marvellous composers from Germany and Austria, is one of the first contemporary writ- ings to accord the proper place in the music hall-of-fame to com- posers from the rest of the world, beyond the European continent. Also inside Europe, the treatise is broadened to include areas often treated as marginal, and to reconsider the relative importance of different composers, when seen in the light of their contribution to innovation. More emphasis is placed on the Italian composers who started cur- rent soloist and symphonic traditions and brought it to the highest level (notably Alessandro Scarlatti and Antonio Vivaldi). I would also like to heighten the international ranking of the French com- poser Saint-Saëns, who brought forward the brilliance and charm that, more directly than previously thought, lead straight to giants like Debussy, Ravel and de Falla, and furthermore, I pay tribute to G. Bizet, toreador song from the opera Carmen (1875). 8 INTRODUCTION many 20th century composers from Russia and from countries not making much headway in earlier music history telling: Japan, Mex- ico, Hungary, Poland, the UK and the USA, to name just a few. Among music encyclopaedias on my bookshelf, the least nationally biased ones are often British1, maybe because domestic English composers largely lacked international recognition at the highest level before Britten and Lennon. Another feature of this book is its attempt to find the roots of music, by going back to the early Stone Age and looking not only at mod- ern humans but also at the other human families, based on archaeo- logical findings. Later, the several thousand-years old cultures of Babylon, Egypt and Greece bloomed with music, and although much has been lost, there is enough evidence to asses some of the kinds of music invented during the periods in question, by using accounts written at the time, by studying instruments found, and in rare cases even sheet music (that is, often carved into stone so that it could survive to our times, or being repeatedly copied, as is the case for many other existing accounts from these cultures, with copying errors as a challenge to scientists trying to decipher the original message).

  • Weekly Commentary
    Weekly Commentary October 21, 2019 The Mother Of All Golden Oldies More than 3,400 years ago in the Mediterranean port city of Ugarit, now part of Syria, an unknown composer wrote a hymn in praise of Nikkal, the wife of the moon god. The words and music were carefully chiseled into a stone tablet. It is the oldest surviving song in the world. The tablet was discovered in the 1950s, but it wasn't until the 1970s that University of California at Berkeley Professor Anne Kilmer was able to decipher some of the cuneiform figures on it as musical notation. She recognized them from other Babylonian tablets she had already analyzed, including a four-thousand-year-old instruction manual for tuning an ancient stringed instrument called a lyre. The song appeared to have been written in a seven-note scale similar to the one we use today. Amazingly, Kilmer was able to reconstruct a version of the song note for note, so that the lost tune could be played once again for modern ears. A little late for royalties, however. The song is written in the ancient Hurrian language. The exact lyrics are unclear, although the name of Nikkal is easily recognizable, and Kilmer has translated one phrase as "Thou lovest them in thy heart." Versions of the "Hymn to Nikkal" have been recorded by several modern artist including musicologist Richard Crocker and Syrian Pianist Malek Jandali. The exact location of the Bronze Age city of Ugarit was unknown to modern archaeologist until a syrian farmer accidentally opened an old tomb while plowing a field.

Its purpose is to extract the images of women as depicted in and through the vocabulary and the imagery. The study of vocabulary and imagery seemed the best way to understand the significance and the richness of the types of women depicted in the poems: the conscious woman, the authoritative figure, the fighter, the lover, the beloved, the uncourtly woman.

Enterbd according to Act of the Parliament of Canada, in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven, by William Briggs, at the Department of Agriculture. v G N ys j 7CM*'64 PREFACE. In common with others who have been interested in, and connected with, the development of the territories formerly under the administration of the Hudson Bay Company, I heard with much pleasure of the intention of my friend, the Rev. R. G. MacBeth, M.A., to place on record an account of the genesis and development of the Selkirk Settlement in the Red River Valley. The longer such a work is postponed the more difficult must it be to carry out, and it would be a thousand pities if a descrip- tion of the pioneer attempts at colonization in the great North-West were not given to the world. This is neither the time nor the place to enter upon a discussion of the motives which influenced Lord Selkirk in his enterprise. He may have been somewhat in advance of the times in which he lived, but he had the courage of his convictions, and his efforts deserve the fullest recognition from those who believe in the great future in store for Western Canada.

  • Troubadours NEW GROVE
    Troubadours, trouvères. Lyric poets or poet-musicians of France in the 12th and 13th centuries. It is customary to describe as troubadours those poets who worked in the south of France and wrote in Provençal, the langue d’oc , whereas the trouvères worked in the north of France and wrote in French, the langue d’oil . I. Troubadour poetry 1. Introduction. The troubadours were the earliest and most significant exponents of the arts of music and poetry in medieval Western vernacular culture. Their influence spread throughout the Middle Ages and beyond into French (the trouvères, see §II below), German, Italian, Spanish, English and other European languages. The first centre of troubadour song seems to have been Poitiers, but the main area extended from the Atlantic coast south of Bordeaux in the west, to the Alps bordering on Italy in the east. There were also ‘schools’ of troubadours in northern Italy itself and in Catalonia. Their influence, of course, spread much more widely. Pillet and Carstens (1933) named 460 troubadours; about 2600 of their poems survive, with melodies for roughly one in ten. The principal troubadours include AIMERIC DE PEGUILHAN ( c1190–c1221), ARNAUT DANIEL ( fl c1180–95), ARNAUT DE MAREUIL ( fl c1195), BERNART DE VENTADORN ( fl c1147–70), BERTRAN DE BORN ( fl c1159–95; d 1215), Cerveri de Girona ( fl c1259–85), FOLQUET DE MARSEILLE ( fl c1178–95; d 1231), GAUCELM FAIDIT ( fl c1172–1203), GUILLAUME IX , Duke of Aquitaine (1071–1126), GIRAUT DE BORNELH ( fl c1162–99), GUIRAUT RIQUIER ( fl c1254–92), JAUFRE RUDEL ( fl c1125–48), MARCABRU ( fl c1130–49), PEIRE D ’ALVERNHE ( fl c1149–68; d 1215), PEIRE CARDENAL ( fl c1205–72), PEIRE VIDAL ( fl c1183–c1204), PEIROL ( c1188–c1222), RAIMBAUT D ’AURENGA ( c1147–73), RAIMBAUT DE VAQEIRAS ( fl c1180–1205), RAIMON DE MIRAVAL ( fl c1191–c1229) and Sordello ( fl c1220–69; d 1269).
