    Mönster och möjligheter Genus och gestaltning i 1700-talsopera Operahögskolan/Stockholms konstnärliga högskola, 20 september 2018 Ett gästspel från Musikhögskolan vid Luleå tekniska universitet, i Piteå och Högskolan för scen och musik, Göteborgs universitet Medverkande På scen: Tove Dahlberg, alla roller Bo Wannefors, piano Idé, manus, och iscensättning: Tove Dahlberg och Kristina Hagström-Ståhl Ljusdesign: Tobias Hagström-Ståhl/Lumination of Sweden Övriga pianister: Eric Skarby, Tommy Jonsson, Rut Pergament Coach, maskulinitet: Eva Johansson * * * Hur kan genusforskning och kritiska perspektiv användas i en konstnärlig praktik? Vilka är möjligheterna att arbeta normkritiskt – och normkreativt – med opera? I det här proJektet undersöker Tove Dahlberg och Kristina Hagström-Ståhl tillsammans sångarens handlingsutrymme i den konstnärliga processen, samt relationen mellan scenisk och musikalisk gestaltning i operarepertoar. Med Mozarts opera Figaros bröllop (1786) som utgångspunkt och material har Tove och Kristina mötts i en serie laborationer, som syftat till att väcka frågor kring konventioner och ”tyst kunskap” inom opera, men även att utveckla metoder för breddade och medvetna val i den konstnärliga processen. Med sig har de haft pianister med lång erfarenhet av att arbeta med Mozarts operor. Tove tar sig an fem kvinnliga och manliga roller ur operan, med en dubbel målsättning: att utmana sina egna vokala och sceniska register och att låta operans scener och arior bli föremål för konstnärlig undersökning. Särskilt har vi tittat på hur sångliga och kroppsliga praktiker tillsammans påverkar hur maskulinitet och femininitet kan gestaltas och hur gestaltningen blir läsbar för en publik. En genomgående frågeställning har gällt relationen mellan operan som material och konstnärligt verk i egen rätt – mellan sångarens och rollens behov.

    Presenting the New: Battles around New Music in New York in the Seventies A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY David Grayson, Adviser December 2012 © Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher 2012 i Acknowledgements One of the best things about reaching the end of this process is the opportunity to publicly thank the people who have helped to make it happen. More than any other individual, thanks must go to my wife, who has had to put up with more of my rambling than anybody, and has graciously given me half of every weekend for the last several years to keep working. Thank you, too, to my adviser, David Grayson, whose steady support in a shifting institutional environment has been invaluable. To the rest of my committee: Sumanth Gopinath, Kelley Harness, and Richard Leppert, for their advice and willingness to jump back in on this project after every life-inflicted gap. Thanks also to my mother and to my kids, for different reasons. Thanks to the staff at the New York Public Library (the one on 5th Ave. with the lions) for helping me track down the SoHo Weekly News microfilm when it had apparently vanished, and to the professional staff at the New York Public Library for Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, and to the Fales Special Collections staff at Bobst Library at New York University. Special thanks to the much smaller archival operation at the Kitchen, where I was assisted at various times by John Migliore and Samara Davis.

    Reinterpreting the Concerto Three Finnish Clarinet Concertos Written For

    Reinterpreting the Concerto Three Finnish clarinet concertos written for Kari Kriikku Sapphire Clare Littler MA by Research University of York Music December 2018 Reinterpreting the Concerto: Three Finnish clarinet concertos written for Kari Kriikku Abstract The origins of the word concerto can be traced to two different sources: the first is the Italian translation, to mean ‘agreement’, and the other stems from the Latin concertare, which means ‘to compete’. Ironically, the duality presented by these two translations encapsulates the true meaning of the concerto: opposition and resolution. This thesis focuses on Finnish works for clarinet and orchestra composed for Kari Kriikku in the last forty years, and seeks to analyse three in depth: Jukka Tiensuu’s Puro (1989); Magnus Lindberg’s Clarinet Concerto (2002); and Kaija Saariaho’s D’OM LE VRAI SENS (2010). The works have been chosen as these composers were all born around a similar time in Finland, and all worked with the same clarinettist, whom they all know personally. Through analysis, Reinterpreting the Concerto seeks to discover how each of these composers tackled the pre- existing model of the concerto, and suggest reasons for compositional decisions. The thesis will end with a discussion of clarinet technique, and how much writing for Kriikku in particular may have influenced the works. This essay will be formed of several sections, with the first examining the traits which could be considered important to each of the pieces: form, and how this results in the linear progression of the work; continuity and discontinuity created through melodic treatment, and how the soloist interacts with the ensemble.
