This Danish island is located at Srtelung in the parish of Ngrre-Lyndelse. When Carl Nielsen was born on June 9, 1865, to his simple and poor parents, Niels and Maren Nielsen, he began life on this beautiful island, also the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen. From M Childhood, Nielsen describes the uncouth life, the long lonely days spent minding geese, where "everything in Funen is different from the rest of the world . the bees hum in a way of their own, with a special Funen accent; and when the harse whinnies and the red cows low, why, anybody can hear that it is different from anywhere else." A good approach in discovering Nielsents genius is through studying the rustic simplicity of his childhood that was translated into his music, most notably in the opening passage of his Sixth Symphony (2, p. 527). 1 Carl Nielsen's first steps in music were taken qen ae was a small boy. His father gave him violin lessons, and soon, father and son began to play for the local dances, weddings, and other feasts. This routine playing of three- and four-part dance rhythms failed to challenge Carl Nielsen. He began improvising counter melodies and rhyt ms to the simple harmonies which governed this dance music. By attending a few of the local music societies, Nielsen made some contact with the music of the masters. At fifteen years of age, he applied for a post as bugLer in the regimental band at Odense. At that time he continued to study the violin, mastered the rudiments of piano-playing, and soon began to compose; a violin sonata, a string quartet, a trio, and some quartets for ind instruments, none of which have been published C3 p. 4) Olfert Jespheren, a Danish composer, encouraged Nielsen to journey to Copenhagen for an audition wit~h Lie>s V. Gade, the director of the Royal Conservatoire. aide'ss verdict, "You have a good sense of form" (3, P. 5), apparently decided the fate of Carl Nielsen's vocation. After this comment of Gade's, Carl Nielsen commenced his studies at the Conservatoire in January, 1884, with 3 the violin as his main subject. Playing the violin as a profession was his general intention. He was not taught by a great master, yet he was grounded in ordinary classical harmony and symphonic form. He was able to apply those basic principles to his music without specialized study. His violin playing never reached soloist status, but he was able to make a living by playing in the Royal Orchestra at the Opera, where he was appointed in 1889. In 1905, he left to devote his whole time to composing. The next year he was awarded a Danish scholarship grant, which enabled him to make a study tour of Germany, France, and Italy. As the twentieth century emerged, Nielsen was making a name for himself as a creative artist. Haring also conducted his own operas and symphonic works, he was offered in 1908 the post of opera conductor at the Royal Theatre. In 1914, he resigned and wTas appointed to the teaching staff of the Royal Danish Conservatoire, becoming its director in 1930, a year before is death. When one attempts to name and describe the men wo in.Lluenced Nielsen, the list can become quite long; yet, there were some composers whose influences were stronger. The starting point of Carl Nielsen's art was Danish late-nineteenth century Romanticism, dominated by the works of J. P. E. lartman and Niels W. Gade, who were influenced by the endelssohn School at Leipzig (3, p. 6). Mendelssohnts works were noted for their grace, delicacy and flowing melodies. While under his influence, Nielsen wrote two string quartets and a Su~ite for Strings, Opus 1 (1887-88), and another string quartet in G riajor (1889). At that time the Influence of the Norwegian, Johann Svendsen, was also a source of inspiration to Nielsen. His influence was seen in Nielsents diatonic and chromatic movement in certain intervals (particularly thirds) as they formed the harmonic oundation of a lyrical melody (3, p. 7). Nielsen also came in contact with C.' F. E. Horneman, who was the Danish composer of that period most closely akin to Johannes Brahms. Brahms's romantic classicism used the basic idea and form of Beethoven's syphonies, but modified his dynamic style Into a flexible and romantic lyricism (1, p. 208). The Brahmmsian element in Nielsents music was the result of his feeling that Brahms was the most firmly disciplined master of his time. Nielsen derived from Brahmis an important sense of construct tion; thus, embracing classical forms before his contemporaries who were still romantically incl. ined, he became one of the first neo-classicists. Nielsen also found inspirat ion in the xmousic of Richard Wagner.

    { to,26?5 THE ORGAN WORKS OF HEALEY WILLAN THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Music By Robert L. Massingham, B. S., M. S. Denton, Texas August, 1957 PREFACE LHealey Willan occupies an unique position in Canadian Music and can be considered as that nation's "elder musical statesman." At the time of writing he is a septuagenarian and still very much active in his profession. Born and trained in England, he was well-established there when he was persuaded to come to Toronto, Canada, in 1913 at the age of thirty-three. Since that time he has contributed enor- iously to the growth of music in his adopted country, carry- ing on the traditions of his fine English background in music while encouraging the development of native individuality in Canadian music. Iillan has been first and foremost a musician of the church--an organist and choirmaster--a proud field which can boast many an eminent name in music including that of J. S. Bach. Willan's creativity in music has flowered in many other directions--as a distinguished teacher, as a lecturer and recitalist, and as a composer. He has written in all forms and for all instruments, but his greatest renown, at any rate in the TUnited States, is for his organ and choral works. The latter constitute his largest single body of compositions by numerical count of titles, and his organ works are in a close second place. iii Willants Introduction, Passaqaglia, and Fuue has been well-known for decades as one of the finest compositions in organ literature, enjoying a position alongside the organ works of Liszt, Yranck, and Reubke.

  • Conceiving Musical Transdialection
    Conceiving Musical Transdialection By Richard Beaudoin, Harvard University and Joseph Moore, Amherst College Abstract: We illuminate the wandering notion of a musical transcription by reflecting on the various ways “transcription” and its cognates have been used in musical discourse, and by examining some notable 20th century transcriptions of J. S. Bach, which became increasingly loose through the decades. At root, musical transcription aims at preservation, but, as we bring out, exactly which musical ingredients are preserved across which transformations varies from transcriptional project to transcriptional project. We defend as intelligible one very interesting such project—we call it “transdialection”—by exploring an analogy with poetic translation, and by directly taking on some natural objections to it. We conclude that certain controversial transcriptions are justifiably and usefully so-called. 1 0. Transcription Traduced While it may not surprise you to learn that the first bit of music above is the opening of a chorale prelude by Baroque master, J. S. Bach, who would guess that the second bit is a so-called transcription of it? But it is—it’s a transcription by the contemporary British composer, Michael Finnissy. The two passages look very different from one another, even to those of us who don’t read music. And hearing the pieces will do little to dispel the shock, for here we have bits of music that seem worlds apart in their melodic makeup, harmonic content and rhythmic complexity. It’s a far cry from Bach’s steady tonality to Finnissy’s floating, tangled lines—a sonic texture in which, as one critic put it, real music is “mostly thrown into a seething undigested, unimagined heap of dyslexic clusters of multiple key- and time-proportions, as intricately enmeshed in the fetishism of the written notation as those 2 with notes derived from number-magic.”1 We’re more sympathetic to Finnissy’s music.
