Réinventer le vocabulaire de la musique: un défi qui pour Bobby McFerrin est synonyme d’amusement et qui a ryth- mé toute sa vie. VOCAbuLarieS regroupe les innombrables ex- périences musicales du passé de Bobby McFerrin: son timbre fascinant, son incroyable facilité dans l’articulation mais aussi sa passion des voyages. Bobby McFerrin est accompagné ce soir de l’ensemble vocal berlinois Slixs & friends. 2 «VOCAbuLarieS» Mit «VOCAbuLarieS», dem wahrscheinlich aufwändigsten Pro- jekt, das Bobby McFerrin jemals in Angriff genommen hat, ist dem amerikanischen Jazzer und Vokalkünstler ein meisterhafter Zusammenfluss kreativer Energie gelungen. «VOCAbuLarieS» bricht aus den Konventionen der A-cappella-Musik aus und ver- einigt all jene musikalischen Stile, die die Laufbahn des zehnfa- chen Grammy-Gewinners McFerrin geprägt haben: Jazz, Klassik, Musik aus Afrika, Lateinamerika und Indien ebenso wie Rhythm & Blues, Gospel und Pop. Das Vokabular der Musik neu erfinden – für McFerrin ein Spaß, eine Herausforderung, die sein ganzes Le- ben bestimmt hat.

  • Bobby Mcferrin Voicestra Circlesongs
    giovedì 19 settembre 2002 ore 21 Auditorium Giovanni Agnelli Lingotto Bobby McFerrin Voicestra Circlesongs Nick Bearde Rhiannon Joey Blake Janis Siegel Pierre Cook Marlon Saunders Judith Donaghy Roger Treece Kirsten Falke David Worm Beth Quist Bobby McFerrin Sono vent’anni che Bobby McFerrin abita il mondo jazz, in un angolo strano e isolato, però ai piani nobili; vent’anni e ancora non ha smesso di stupire. Difficile affermare che sia sempli- cemente un “cantante”. Forse è più adatto il termine “vocalist”, rende meglio l’idea di un artista che ha sempre usato il corpo come una grande e risonante scatola sonora, esplorando così «il modo di produrre i suoni che ascolto nella mia mente». «La voce è il più fluido degli strumenti», scriveva McFerrin nelle note del primo album, a mo’ di manifesto, «Puoi svariare da un estremo all’altro. Puoi ridere, piangere, squittire, grugnire...». McFerrin è nato a New York nel 1950, figlio di due cantanti d’opera; il padre ebbe il suo momento di celebrità con la colonna sonora di Porgy & Bess, il film di Otto Preminger, nel 1959. Appassionato di musica dalla più tenera età, per molti anni non venne nemmeno sfiorato dall’idea di cantare. «Presi in considerazione tutto il resto. Studiai piano, clarinetto, flauto, provai con il violoncello, scrissi e arrangiai per grande orche- stra. Alla fine scoprii che amavo cantare perché tutti gli stru- menti potevano stare nella mia voce». Fu una vocazione tar- diva ma intensa, che McFerrin ha avuto modo di descrivere con toni suggestivi: «Era l’11 luglio 1977, avevo 27 anni; e distintamente sentii una voce dentro di me che mi diceva di essere un cantante».

  • Bobby Mcferrin Short Bio - January 2010
    Bobby McFerrin Short Bio - January 2010 To some people, Bobby McFerrin will always be the guy who sang Don’t Worry Be Happy. And he is that guy; he wrote and sang that global number one hit more than twenty years ago. But if that song is all you know about Bobby McFerrin, we suggest the following: Go to YouTube, type in Bobby’s name, sit back and prepare for a serious boggling of the mind. There you’ll find many delights and some astonishing statistics. You’ll join the millions who have marveled at Bobby’s stunning rendition of the Bach prelude Ave Maria. You’ll find Bobby’s shockingly inventive appearance on the NBC music program The Sing Off, his unparalleled interpretations of Beatles songs, his collaborations with everyone from cellist Yo-Yo Ma to pianist Chick Corea to comedian Robin Williams, and his condensed version of The Wizard of Oz. You’ll see him conducting the Vienna Philharmonic and consorting with the Muppets on Sesame Street. You’ll be awed by the way McFerrin brilliantly uses audience participation, most recently to demonstrate the power of the pentatonic scale at the World Science Festival in a performance that became a viral internet phenomenon, seen by over four million people. And that just scratches the surface. Bobby McFerrin is an eternal seeker, always defying the music industry’s practical impulse to pigeonhole artists. His diversity and range are incomparable. Drawing on all genres, demonstrating matchless improvisational skills and an ability to create new vocabularies on the fly, he never fails to dazzle.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CHORAL IMPROVISATION
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CHORAL IMPROVISATION: TOWARD A CURRICULUM FOR UNIVERSITY CHORAL SETTINGS Steven Ross Seigart, Doctor of Musical Arts in Choral Conducting, 2017 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Edward Maclary, Professor of Conducting, Director of Choral Activities, School of Music The regular practice of musical improvisation in an ensemble context has been shown to have many benefits, including the improvement of individual musical skills, ensemble cohesiveness, and the potential to help teach music theory and history. In addition, group improvisation has been proven to have positive non- musical effects, such as the reduction of social anxiety and stress, the improvement of communication and attention, and the acquisition of higher-order thinking skills. Many of these studies focus on these effects only among children, but the growing number of adult choral ensembles that regularly improvise suggests that these benefits may be gained in any level ensemble and in any age singer, including the university choral ensemble and the typical university student. Historically, improvisation and composition were considered as one creative process, with the latter often following the former. Even when the distinction between the two was acknowledged, the most prominent composers were also the finest improvisers. Toward the twentieth century and beyond, notation became gradually more specific, and the need for in-the-moment decision-making became obsolete.1 Modern classical ensembles largely do not improvise, precisely for this reason: the music they perform does not require it. Outside of classical music (with a few notable exceptions), improvisation is a part of almost every musical genre worldwide. In this document I have suggested a series of modules toward a improvisation-based curriculum, which can be freely combined and adapted to serve a number of functions and attempted in any order and in any sequence.

  • Bobby Mcferrin October 2013
    Bobby McFerrin October 2013 WARNING! Listening to Bobby McFerrin sing may be hazardous to your preconceptions. Please be advised that, should you choose to subject yourself to this man’s vocal alchemy, everything you thought you knew about the possibilities of the human voice will be challenged, discarded and rearranged. Those who are reluctant to surrender to such consistently inventive music may find themselves wondering why it took so long to discover something so thoroughly awe-inspiring and resistant to categorization. Side effects may include utter and unparalleled joy, a new perspective on creativity, permanent rejection of the predictable, and a sudden, irreversible urge to lead a more spontaneous existence. Bobby McFerrin is a restless seeker who knows no bounds; his story is one of ceaseless self- discovery and generosity of artistic spirit. He has continually redefined not only his own music but the very role of the artist. In a world where others push product, Bobby McFerrin promotes experience. His concerts are not about supporting his latest release, but about the release of creative energy. This is go-with-the-flow music, created on the spot, never to be repeated. Bobby McFerrin is genre-defiant and pigeonhole-o-phobic. His palette is every style of music he’-s ever heard, a genuine cross-cultural cross-breed. It’s jazz, pop, R&B, classical and world music — or, more accurately, out-of-this-world music – all rolled into one, sometimes within the same song. And yet it’s also none of the above. Bobby adopts and adapts to musical vocabularies of any and every kind, and from them he invents new ones.

At the end of this book of abstracts, at page 121, you will find an index of author names. KEYNOTES Resonating research – What is needed to make music therapy research and implementation more relevant, meaningful, and innovative? Monika Geretsegger In music therapy and many other fields, the importance of involving “users” in the research process has become increasingly recognised in recent years. "Users" in this context includes patients and other service users who may be directly affected by research, but also organisations representing their interests, and other end-users of research findings, such as health care personnel, decision-makers in health and care services, and health authorities. The rationale behind involving users in research projects is to improve impact, relevance, and applicability of research findings. Several music therapy researchers have started to implement participatory approaches in their studies to incorporate users’ perspectives, but often, this only happens to a limited extent, and has just limited influence on overall study designs. Lately, more and more funding bodies request that user engagement takes place in, at best, all stages of a research project.
