Researchers working on this cluster of Acoustique/Musique (Paris), STMS labs (Ircam/CNRS/ problems from a wide variety of disciplines (history, UPMC), Analysis of musical practices research group music analysis, psychology, philosophy, cognitive sci- ence, sociology, ethnomusicology, anthropology, etc.) IReMus: Institut de Recherche en Musicologie (CNRS/ are invited to assess the different methodologies de- Paris-Sorbonne) veloped over the last thirty years in their respective areas from an interdisciplinary perspective. Each ap- CTEL: Centre Transdisciplinaire d’Épistémologie de proach contributes in its own way to the advancement la Littérature et des Arts vivants (Université Nice of our understanding of the procedures, techniques, Sophia Antipolis) knowledge and skills employed by musicians involved in creative projects. With the support of the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (3-year project: ‘Musical Gesture: Models Following the epistemological paradigm shifts that and Experiments’), Conservatoire national supérieur musicology underwent at the end of the last cen - de musique et de danse de Paris, DREST (Direction tury, the very notion of ‘creative process’ has been de la recherche, de l’enseignement supérieur et transformed.

The complexity and the multidimensionality of this field of study require new analytical tools and new research methods at the crossroads of analytical musicology, the social science and humanities, and other academic disciplines. This broadening of the field also provides a new con- text for the study of works and composers from the Western musical canon. Whether based on historical archives or on the collection of empirical data, stud- ies of the creative process in music share many of the same methodological requirements, descriptive vo- cabulary and models of creative action. This confer- ence therefore aims to be a forum in which the most recent results produced by the well-established tradi- tion of sketch studies can meet the complementary or alternative paradigms emerging from other reper- tories or approaches.

Comme la musique et la danse, la lumière est une nécessité vitale et elle appartient à tous. Ce seront aussi les professeurs du Conservatoire qui seront mis en lumière lors de cette saison, notamment à l’occasion des cours du soir (dont certains seront retransmis en direct sur internet). La recherche occupera elle aussi une part importante de la programmation lors des nombreux concerts- lectures ou dans les colloques et autres soutenances de thèses organisés au Conservatoire.

Information about the musical application regarding concepts of symmetry and proportion both in the twentieth-century and earlier is provided. The first section also offers additional information about the construction of symmetrical harmony and its common usage; here too, principles of intervallic proportion are explained based on the compositional thinking of English composer Christopher Bochmann.

  • Music of the 20Th Century
    Teaching notes Western Music History Music of the 20th Century © 2013 by Helen Wong Kin Hoi Sprechstimme (speech-voice) - Sprechstimme, (German: “speech-voice”), in music, a cross between speaking and singing in which the tone quality of speech is heightened and lowered in pitch along melodic contours indicated in the musical notation. Sprechstimme is frequently used in 20th-century music. - German, "speaking voice" - A style of vocal performance midway between speech and song, - in the performer approximates the written pitches in the gliding tones of speech, while following the notated rhythm. - developed by Arnold Schoenberg e.g. Schoenberg: Pierrot lunaire (Moonstruck Pierrot) (1912). Schoenberg: Gurrelieder Berg: Wozzerk and Lulu Pointillism - Term describing a 20th-century techniquen in composing in which each player, usually treated as a soloist, is given breif wisps of music to play - often a single note only now and then. So the music consists largely of individual 'points' of sound - scintillating dabs of instrumental colour. THe style is named after the technique of Pointillist artists, such as Seurat, who painted pictures by precisely applying countless separate dots, or 'points', of pure colour (red, blue, and yellow). The first composer to explore Pointillism was Webern (for example, , in his Five Pieces for Orchestra, op. 10). Total serialism - a style of composition in which pitches, durations, dynamics and mode of attack (timbre) were all totally controlled by Schoenberg's principles of serialism. - Composer who have employed total serialism include Messiaen, Boulez and Stockhausen. Examples Messiaen: Mode of Durations and Intensities (Mode de valeurs et d'intensités) Boulez: Strctures I for two pianos Total serialism consists of the strict ordering of pitch, duration, dynamics, and attack into twelve serial degrees that can then be manipulated in a manner similar to Schoenberg’s 1 original method.

  • Holmes Electronic and Experimental Music
    C H A P T E R 2 Early Electronic Music in Europe I noticed without surprise by recording the noise of things that one could perceive beyond sounds, the daily metaphors that they suggest to us. —Pierre Schaeffer Before the Tape Recorder Musique Concrète in France L’Objet Sonore—The Sound Object Origins of Musique Concrète Listen: Early Electronic Music in Europe Elektronische Musik in Germany Stockhausen’s Early Work Other Early European Studios Innovation: Electronic Music Equipment of the Studio di Fonologia Musicale (Milan, c.1960) Summary Milestones: Early Electronic Music of Europe Plate 2.1 Pierre Schaeffer operating the Pupitre d’espace (1951), the four rings of which could be used during a live performance to control the spatial distribution of electronically produced sounds using two front channels: one channel in the rear, and one overhead. (1951 © Ina/Maurice Lecardent, Ina GRM Archives) 42 EARLY HISTORY – PREDECESSORS AND PIONEERS A convergence of new technologies and a general cultural backlash against Old World arts and values made conditions favorable for the rise of electronic music in the years following World War II. Musical ideas that met with punishing repression and indiffer- ence prior to the war became less odious to a new generation of listeners who embraced futuristic advances of the atomic age. Prior to World War II, electronic music was anchored down by a reliance on live performance. Only a few composers—Varèse and Cage among them—anticipated the importance of the recording medium to the growth of electronic music. This chapter traces a technological transition from the turntable to the magnetic tape recorder as well as the transformation of electronic music from a medium of live performance to that of recorded media.

  • Maurice Fleuret Une Politique Démocratique De La Musique
    Annexe 3 sont les seuls à échapper à la délinquance juvénile). À l’heure où la société est légitimement sollicitée de protéger toujours mieux l’individu dans son quotidien, la création artistique reste le seul domaine où, sans mettre en péril la perpétuation et le développement de la communauté, chacun peut prendre les risques fondamentaux, nécessaires à sa conscience et à son existence. Cependant, outre l’accomplissement indi- viduel qu’entraîne le fait de s’investir dans l’acte de création, de se pro- jeter dans l’objet créé et d’y risquer beaucoup, il y a là le facteur le plus dynamique du développement de la communication, puisque chacun crée pour l’autre, et donc de formation de la conscience collective indispen- sable à l’évolution de la société ; échangeant plus et, ainsi, se connais- sant mieux, le groupe est mieux à même de choisir son destin et de mesu- rer les conséquences de sa décision. À l’heure du bilan, il écrit : « La vie musicale en France : une révolution culturelle ?* » Les Italiens chantent Verdi dans la rue, les Anglais vont au concert comme ils iraient au cinéma, les Allemands font de la pratique chorale le ciment de la société, et les Autrichiens célèbrent la musique savante comme fondement de la civilisation. Dans le concert européen des nations musicales, la France reste absente : depuis au moins Lully, il est admis que le Français n’est pas musicien, même pas mélomane, et qu’il faut, pour se consoler, s’en tenir ici à quelques grands noms qui font exception mais confirment la règle.
