Program Notes Symphony No. 3 – Aram Il'yich Khachaturian In November 1953, Aram Khachaturian acted on the encouraging signs of a cultural thaw following the death of Stalin six months earlier and wrote an article for the magazine Sovetskaya Muzika pleading for greater creative freedom. The way forward, he wrote, would have to be without the bureaucratic interference that had marred the creative efforts of previous years. How often in the past, he continues, 'have we listened to "monumental" works...that amounted to nothing but empty prattle by the composer, bolstered up by a contemporary theme announced in descriptive titles.' He was surely thinking of those countless odes to Stalin, Lenin and the Revolution, many of them subdivided into vividly worded sections; and in that respect Khachaturian had been no less guilty than most of his contemporaries.

    RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET SYMPHONIES A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) Born in St. Petersburg. He entered the Petrograd Conservatory at age 13 and studied piano with Leonid Nikolayev and composition with Maximilian Steinberg. His graduation piece, the Symphony No. 1, gave him immediate fame and from there he went on to become the greatest composer during the Soviet Era of Russian history despite serious problems with the political and cultural authorities. He also concertized as a pianist and taught at the Moscow Conservatory. He was a prolific composer whose compositions covered almost all genres from operas, ballets and film scores to works for solo instruments and voice.

Katerina è una ragazza russa della stessa età del compositore, ventiquattro, venticinque anni (la maturazione artistica di Sostakovic fu, com’è noto, precocissima), “dotata, intelligente e superiore alla media, la quale rovina la propria vita a causa dell’opprimente posizione cui la Russia prerivoluzionaria la assoggetta”. E’ un’omicida, anzi un vero e proprio serial killer al femminile; e tuttavia Sostakovic denuncia quanta simpatia provi per lei. Nelle originarie intenzioni dell’autore, “Una Lady Macbeth del distretto di Mcensk” avrebbe inaugurato una trilogia dedicata alla donna russa, còlta nella sua essenza immutabile attraverso differenti epoche storiche.

  • William Kentridge Brings 'Wozzeck' Into the Trenches
    William Kentridge Brings ‘Wozzeck’ Into the Trenches The artist’s production of Berg’s brutal opera, updated to World War I, has come to the Metropolitan Opera. By Jason Farago (December 26, 2019) ”Credit...Devin Yalkin for The New York Times Three years ago, on a trip to Johannesburg, I had the chance to watch the artist William Kentridge working on a new production of Alban Berg’s knifelike opera “Wozzeck.” With a troupe of South African performers, Mr. Kentridge blocked out scenes from this bleak tale of a soldier driven to madness and murder — whose setting he was updating to the years around World War I, when it was written, through the hand-drawn animations and low-tech costumes that Metropolitan Opera audiences have seen in his stagings of Berg’s “Lulu” and Shostakovich’s “The Nose.” Some of what I saw in Mr. Kentridge’s studio has survived in “Wozzeck,” which opens at the Met on Friday. But he often works on multiple projects at once, and much of the material instead ended up in “The Head and the Load,” a historical pageant about the impact of World War I in Africa, which New York audiences saw last year at the Park Avenue Armory. Mr. Kentridge’s “Wozzeck” premiered at the Salzburg Festival in 2017. Zachary Woolfe of The New York Times called it “his most elegant and powerful operatic treatment yet.” At the Met, the Swedish baritone Peter Mattei will sing the title role for the first time; Elza van den Heever, like Mr. Kentridge from Johannesburg, plays his common-law wife, Marie; and Yannick Nézet- Séguin, the company’s music director, will conduct.

  • Soviet Censorship Policy from a Musician's Perspective

I am fortunate enough have a background and live in a place where my voice can be heard without much opposition, but this thesis could not have been completed without the immeasurable support I received from a variety of individuals and groups. First, I must extend my utmost gratitude to my primary advisor, Dr. David Brodbeck. I did not think that I would be able to find a humanities faculty member so in tune with both history and music, but to my great surprise and delight, I found the perfect advisor for my project.

  • The Theory of Eternal Life
    THE THEORY OF ETERNAL LIFE by RODNEY COLLIN Life is a lyre, for its tune is death. LXVI Immortal mortals and mortal immortals—one living LXVII the other's death and dead the other's life. For it is death to the breath of life to become liquid, and death LXVIII to this liquid to become solid. But from such solid comes liquid and from such liquid the breath of life. The path up and the path down is one and the same. LXI Identical the beginning and the end... Living and dead LXX are the same, and so awake and asleep, young and old: LXXVIII the former shifted become the latter, and the latter shifted the former. For time is a child playing draughts, and that child's LXXIX is the move. HERACLEITUS: On the Universe To him who, purified, would break this vicious round And breathe once more the air of heaven—greeting! There in the courts of hades wilt thou find Leftward a beckoning cypress, tall and bright, From out whose root doth flow the water of Oblivion. Approach it not: guard thou thy thirst awhile. For on the other hand—and further—wells From bottomless pool the limpid stream of Memory, Cool, full of refreshment. To its guardians cry thus: ' I am the child of earth and starry sky: Know that I too am heavenly—but parched! I perish: give then and quickly that clear draught Of ice-cold Memory!' And from that fountainhead divine Straightway they'll give thee drink; quaffing the which Thou with the other heroes eternally shalt rule.

  • From Folk Source to Professional Creation
    GESJ: Musicology and Cultural Science 2019|No.1(19) ISSN 1512-2018 UDC - 78 FROM FOLK SOURCE TO PROFESSIONAL CREATION: ON ONE TUSHETIAN TUNE Zumbadze Natalia, Matiashvili Ketevan Vano Sarajishvili Tbilisi State Conservatoire, 8-10 Griboedov st. Summary: The article discusses the distribution area and development of one Tushetian tune mostly known as Mtsqemsuri. Today unison performance of this polyphonic melody, by nature, is explained as a decline of the process of Georgian traditional polyphonic thinking. The article also touches upon the examples of academic music, folk-jazz, author’s folklore, popular genre, which are successful or unsuccessful attempts of arranging the folk source. Keywords: Georgian (Tushetian) music, mtsqemsuri, Arjevnishvili, Tsintsadze, Erkomaishvili, Ebralidze. When researching Georgian-North Caucasian parallels in addition to archival materials preserved at the Georgian Folk Music Laboratory we got familiarized with the audio recordings copied by ethnomusicologist Manana Shilakadze from the archives of Dagestan State Television and Radio Committee in 1981. These included a panduri piece entitled “Georgian motive” performed by renowned Avarian folk professional Ramazan Magomedov (audio ex. N1). This is the tune that Sulkhan Tsintsadze used in one of his quartet miniatures “Mtsqemsuri” (Shepherd’s song), which is the final fifth part (Simghera; Gaprindi, shavo mertskhalo; Satsekvao; Khumroba, Mtsqemsuri) of the quartet suite composed in 1951 (audio ex. N2). Sulkhan Tsintsadze’s miniatures are more or less discussed in musicological literature. All authors unanimously recognize their folk basis, but the specific source of Mtsqemsuri is not indicated anywhere [1:47]; [2:107, 111]; [3:74, 75, 90, 94]. The notated version of the tune published by the Republican House of Folk Art in 1964 is entitled Tushuri satrpialo (Tushetian love song), with well-known singer, choir master and virtuoso panduri player Mariam Arjevnishvili (1918-1958) indicated as the author (her husband Geronti Tughushi is the author of the verbal text) (notated ex.
