    Carl Orffs Hesperische Musik

    MATTHIAS JOHANNES PERNERSTORFER / WIEN Carl Orffs hesperische Musik Carl Orffs ‚Antigonae‘ (1940–49) und ‚Oedi pus der Tyrann‘ (1951– 58) nach Sophokles in der Übersetzung von Friedrich Hölderlin sowie der aischyleische ‚Prometheus‘ (1963–67) in der Originalsprache gehören zu den bedeutendsten Beiträgen zur musikalischen Rezeption der Antike im 20. Jahrhundert. Ich folge Stefan Kunze im Gebrauch der Bezeichnung Tragödien-Bearbeitungen für die genannten Bühnenwerke, da „kein musi- kalisches Werk (Vertonung) auf der Grundlage eines Tragödientextes … das Ziel [ist] …, sondern die [interpretative, Anm. d. A.1 ] Darstellung der Tragödie mit musikalischen Mitteln“.2 Es handelt sich um eine Form des Musiktheaters ganz eigener Art – „gleich weit entfernt vom Sprechtheater herkömmlicher Prägung wie von der Oper und von der … Bühnenmusik“.3 Auch wenn der Musikhistoriker Werner Schubert vor einigen Jahren dia- gnostizierte: „Daß es [Orff] … nicht um eine Rekonstruktion antiker Aufführungspraxis ging, muß man heute nicht mehr eigens betonen“,4 so möchte ich anmerken, daß die Tragödien-Bearbeitungen Orffs von vielen Philologen wie Theaterwissenschaftlern, die die musikwissenschaftliche Diskussion nicht mitverfolgen, wohl noch immer – sei es zustimmend oder ablehnend – als Rekonstruktionsversuche rezipiert werden. Der Grund dafür liegt in der zum Teil euphorischen Reaktion von zeitgenössischen Philologen, durch die Orffs Werke den Stellenwert von authentischen Wie- dergaben der altgriechischen Tragödien erreichten. Jahrzehntelang widmete sich Carl Orff den Tragödien-Bearbeitungen, wobei nicht von einem Weg des Komponisten in die Geistes- oder Musik- welt der Antike gesprochen werden kann.

He had heard tales of the Impressionist painters meeting in the cafes of Paris, and the Abstract Expressionists having heated discussions at the Cedar Tavern in Greenwich Village. But there was no such gathering place for the artists of Princeton. Hoping to change this situation, he asked four prominent local artists, Margaret Johnson, Marie Sturken, Jane Eccles, and Joanne Scott to meet for a brain - storming session. They all agreed that a working artists’ group would be a vital addition to the Princeton community.
  • Brecht's Antigone in Performance

    Brecht's Antigone in Performance

    PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY RHYTHM AND STRUCTURE: BRECHT’S ANTIGONE IN PERFORMANCE BRUNO C. DUARTE FCSH UNIVERSIDADE NOVA DE LISBOA Brecht’s adaptation of Sophocles’ Antigone in 1948 was openly a political gesture that aspired to the complete rationalization of Greek Tragedy. From the beginning, Brecht made it his task to wrench ancient tragic poetry out of its ‘ideological haze’, and proceeded to dismantle and eliminate what he named the ‘element of fate’, the crucial substance of tragic myth itself. However, his encounter with Hölderlin's unorthodox translation of Antigone, the main source for his appropriation and rewriting of the play, led him to engage in a radical experiment in theatrical practice. From the isolated first performance of Antigone, a model was created—the Antigonemodell —that demanded a direct confrontation with the many obstacles brought about by the foreign structure of Greek tragedy as a whole. In turn, such difficulties brought to light the problem of rhythm in its relation to Brecht’s own ideas of how to perform ancient poetry in a modern setting, as exemplified by the originally alienating figure of the tragic chorus. More importantly, such obstacles put into question his ideas of performance in general, as well as the way they can still resonate in our own understanding of what performance is or might be in a broader sense. 1947–1948: Swabian inflections It is known that upon returning from his American exile, at the end of 1947, Bertolt Brecht began to work on Antigone, the tragic poem by Sophocles. Brecht’s own Antigone premiered in the Swiss city of Chur on February 1948.

    Kodály and Orff: a Comparison of Two Approaches in Early Music Education

    ZKÜ Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi, Cilt 8, Sayı 15, 2012 ZKU Journal of Social Sciences, Volume 8, Number 15, 2012 KODÁLY AND ORFF: A COMPARISON OF TWO APPROACHES IN EARLY MUSIC EDUCATION Yrd.Doç.Dr. Dilek GÖKTÜRK CARY Karabük Üniversitesi Safranbolu Fethi Toker Güzel Sanatlar ve Tasarım Fakültesi Müzik Bölümü [email protected] ABSTRACT The Hungarian composer and ethnomusicologist Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967) and the German composer Carl Orff (1895-1982) are considered two of the most influential personalities in the arena of music education during the twentieth-century due to two distinct teaching methods that they developed under their own names. Kodály developed a hand-sign method (movable Do) for children to sing and sight-read while Orff’s goal was to help creativity of children through the use of percussive instruments. Although both composers focused on young children’s musical training the main difference between them is that Kodály focused on vocal/choral training with the use of hand signs while Orff’s main approach was mainly on movement, speech and making music through playing (particularly percussive) instruments. Finally, musical creativity via improvisation is the main goal in the Orff Method; yet, Kodály’s focal point was to dictate written music. Key Words: Zoltán Kodály, Carl Orff, The Kodály Method, The Orff Method. KODÁLY VE ORFF: ERKEN MÜZİK EĞİTİMİNDE KULLANILAN İKİ METODUN BİR KARŞILAŞTIRMASI ÖZET Macar besteci ve etnomüzikolog Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967) ve Alman besteci Carl Orff (1895-1982) geliştirmiş oldukları farklı 2 öğretim metodundan dolayı 20. yüzyılda müzik eğitimi alanında en etkili 2 kişi olarak anılmaktadırlar. Kodály çocukların şarkı söyleyebilmeleri ve deşifre yapabilmeleri için el işaretleri metodu (gezici Do) geliştirmiş, Orff ise vurmalı çalgıların kullanımı ile çocukların yaratıcılıklarını geliştirmeyi hedef edinmiştir.
  • The Shields of Achilles and Aeneas: the Worlds Portrayed by Homer and Vergil

    The Shields of Achilles and Aeneas: the Worlds Portrayed by Homer and Vergil

    Vanessa Peters The Shields of Achilles and Aeneas: The Worlds Portrayed by Homer and Vergil The epic simile is a common device in epic poetry; it forms a relationship between two un- likely things and causes one to be viewed through the lens of the other. Unlike a normal simile, an epic simile has a fully developed vehicle that reflects the complexity back on the tenor; that is, an epic sim- ile, in its increased length and depth, can have layers of complexity that a normal simile cannot. The shield of Achilles (Hom. Il. 18.558-709) in Book 18 of Homer’s Iliad and the shield of Aeneas (Verg. Aen. 8.738-858) in book 8 of Vergil’s Aeneid are examples of epic similes, in which the poet takes the role of the god who forges the shield and can comment on society unobtrusively.1 These shields convey different perspectives of Greek and Roman society. Whereas Homer shows the world of peace in con- trast to the world of war to illustrate the tragedy of the Iliad, Vergil expresses Roman triumphalism to glorify Rome and her people. Book 18 of the Iliad marks a turning point in the epic. In it, Achilles decides to return to bat- tle in order to avenge Patroclus’ death by killing Hector. Since he has lost his armour to the enemy, his mother Thetis, knowing that his fate is sealed, beseeches Hephaestus to forge him a new set (Il. 18.534). The god agrees to her request and sets out to work, creating a magnificent shield for Achilles to wear in battle.

[247]DONALD J. MASTRONARDE ACTORS ON HIGH: THE SKENE ROOF, THE CRANE, AND THE GODS IN ATTIC DRAMA* Many recent studies of Greek tragedy and comedy have shown a special interest in staging, not only with a view to antiquarian accuracy, but also in order to assess the playwrights’ techniques and skills in manipulating the visual elements of the performance for dramatic effect.1 The present study addresses a particularly controversial aspect of staging, the appearance of actors “on high.” It is generally agreed that the crane was available in the late fifth century, and it is also widely assumed that the wooden skene building of the late fifth and early fourth centuries had a flat roof, at least a part of which could serve as an additional acting space.

  • Athenian Democracy at War David M

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42291-8 — Athenian Democracy at War David M. Pritchard Frontmatter More Information i ATHENIAN DEMOCRACY AT WAR Classical Athens perfected direct democracy. Th e plays of this ancient Greek state are still staged today. Th ese achievements are rightly revered. Less well known is the other side of this success story. Democratic Athens completely transformed warfare and became a superpower. Th e Athenian armed forces were unmatched in size and professionalism. Th is book explores the major reasons behind this military success. It shows how democracy helped the Athenians to be better soldiers. For the fi rst time David M. Pritchard studies, together, all four branches of the armed forces. He focuses on the background of those who fought Athens’ wars and on what they thought about doing so. His book reveals the common practices that Athens used right across the armed forces and shows how Athens’ pro- war culture had a big impact on civilian life. Th e book puts the study of Athenian democracy at war on an entirely new footing. David M. Pritchard is an ancient historian at the University of Queensland (Australia). He has obtained ten research fellowships in Australia, Denmark, France, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. In 2018 Pritchard is again a research fellow in the University of Strasbourg’s Institute for Advanced Study. He has authored Sport, Democracy and War in Classical Athens (Cambridge, 2013) and Public Spending and Democracy in Classical Athens (2015), edited War, Democracy and Culture in Classical Athens (Cambridge, 2010), and co- edited Sport and Festival in the Ancient Greek World (2003).

Principal of King's College, University of London tl<s } prop Lt=. GREEK RELIGIOUS THOUGHT FROM HOMER TO THE AGE OF ALEXANDER BY F. M. CORNFORD, M.A. Fellow and Lecturer of Trinity College, Cambridge MCMXXIII LONDON AND TORONTO J. M. DENT & SONS LTD. NEW YORK: E. P. DUTTON tf CO. HOTTO (E f- k> ) loUr\ P. DOTTO/U TALKS ) f^op Lt=. 7 yt All rights reserved f PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN TO WALTER DE LA MARE INTRODUCTION The purpose of this book is to let the English reader see for himself what the Greeks, from Homer to Aristotle, thought about the world, the gods and their relations to man, the nature and destiny of the soul, and the significance of human life. The form of presentation is prescribed by the plan of the series. The book is to be a compilation of extracts from the Greek authors, selected, so far as possible, without prejudice and translated with such honesty as a translation may have. This plan has the merit of isolating the actual thought of the Greeks in this period from all the constructions put upon it by later ages, except in so far as the choice of extracts must be governed by some scheme in the compiler's mind, which is itself determined by the limits of his knowledge and by other personal factors. In the book itself it is clearly his business to reduce the influence of these factors to the lowest point; but in the introduction it is no less his business to forewarn the reader against some of the consequences.
