Anoushka Shankar: Breathing Under Water – ‘Burn’, ‘Breathing Under Water’ and ‘Easy’ (For Component 3: Appraising)
Anoushka Shankar: Breathing Under Water – ‘Burn’, ‘Breathing Under Water’ and ‘Easy’ (For component 3: Appraising) Background information and performance circumstances The composer Anoushka Shankar was born in 1981, in London, and is the daughter of the famous sitar player Ravi Shankar. She was brought up in London, Delhi and California, where she attended high school. She studied sitar with her father from the age of 7, began playing tampura in his concerts at 10, and gave her first solo sitar performances at 13. She signed her first recording contract at 16 and her first three album releases were of Indian Classical performances. Her first cross-over/fusion album – Rise – was released in 2005 and was nominated for a Grammy, in the Contemporary World Music category. Her albums since Breathing Under Water have continued to explore the connections between Indian music and other styles. She has collaborated with some major artists – Sting, Nithin Sawhney, Joshua Bell and George Harrison, as well as with her father, Ravi Shankar, and her half-sister, Norah Jones. She has also performed around the world as a Classical sitar player – playing her father’s sitar concertos with major orchestras. The piece Breathing Under Water was Anoushka Shankar’s fifth album, and her second of original fusion music. Her main collaborator was Utkarsha (Karsh) Kale, an Indian musician and composer and co-founder of Tabla Beat Science – an Indian band exploring ambient, drum & bass and electronica in a Hindustani music setting. Kale contributes dance music textures and technical expertise, as well as playing tabla, drums and guitar on the album. -
A Level Music
A level Music Areas of Study – Other Perspectives NB: updates to this document were made in April 2021 and these are highlighted in yellow. © artwork: Mark Bolitho | Origami photography Pearson Education Ltd/Justin Hoffman Introduction This qualification features a Component entitled Appraising. The purpose of this component is for students to develop their listening and appraising skills through the study of music across a variety of styles and genres. The content is grouped into six areas of study, containing either two or three set works. This component gives students the opportunity to reflect on, analyse and evaluate music in aural and/or written form. To achieve this objective, students need to use their knowledge and understanding of musical elements, context and language to make critical judgements about the repertoire and context of music within the areas of study. Students should also study a range of pieces beyond these set works. The suggested other musical pieces for each area of study (see Appendix 4 of the specification) provide students with breadth, enabling them to place their knowledge of musical elements, context and language in a wider context, and apply their knowledge and understanding to more pieces of music. The suggested other music can help students to relate their learning to music in the set works, but their study is not compulsory. Teachers can identify and teach other pieces of music to support their students’ learning. The following music and musicians are examples of how each of the areas of study can be approached from a diverse range of other perspectives. The pieces have been chosen to encourage students to think beyond the mainstream and over-represented composers and styles of music, and instead to consider alternative and less well-known types and origins of music. -

Sukanya Shankar comments: “The centenary celebrations for my husband by the Southbank Centre will bring back some of the magic I have experienced at all the concerts of this amazing musician!” Anoushka Shankar comments: “I feel deeply grateful to be able to begin celebrations of my late father’s centenary year with a series of special events at London’s Southbank Centre, before we continue the celebrations in various cities worldwide. It feels ambitious to the point of being unrealistic, to somehow put together anything that can fully showcase all the varied aspects of his incredible career, creativity, musicianship and humanity.

« Woodlands and Beyond... » Hélène Grimaud / Mat Hennek Mercredi 25 Octobre 2017 – 20H30

Andante Nitin Sawhney Water - Transition 7 Claude Debussy La Cathédrale engloutie Hélène Grimaud, piano Mat Hennek, installation photo FIN DU CONCERT VERS 21H30 L’infini, et au-delà… Après avoir donné le tout premier récital de l’histoire de la Philharmonie de Paris, Hélène Grimaud revient seule sur scène, mais dans une toute autre configuration. Avec « Woodlands and beyond… », elle repense le récital, ce concept créé par Franz Liszt dans les années 1840 et qu’il est peut-être temps d’envisager sous un jour nouveau. La musicienne a souhaité avec « Woodlands and beyond… » mêler les arts, faire se percuter les sens, en une symbiose apte à favoriser la rêverie et ces fameuses correspondances chères à Baudelaire. La juxtaposition de la musique, qui reprend celle de l’album Water, et des photographies de la nature de l’artiste allemand Mat Hennek, rend possible l’éclosion d’un nouveau champ imaginaire. Des strates de conscience, des rapproche- ments inattendus se dévoilent pour les auditeurs/spectateurs. Et pour l’artiste elle-même. Rappelons que pendant certaines périodes de sa vie, Hélène Grimaud n’a pas travaillé sur l’instrument mais mentalement, par associations d’images, de couleurs. -

394 GLOSSARY Acid Jazz Late 1980S and 1990S
GLOSSARY Acid Jazz Late 1980s and 1990s trend where “London fashion victims created their own early seventies-infatuated bohemia by copying jazz-funk records of the era note by note.”1 Associated with DJ Giles Peterson, acid jazz combined jazz and funk influence with electronica to produce a “danceable” version of jazz. Some of the most prominent British artists associated with acid jazz include are the band 4Hero, producer Ronny Jordan, and the James Taylor Quartet (the last of which at one point included Nitin Sawhney.) Ambient Music intended to create a particular atmosphere. Brian Eno, considered a pioneer of the genre, notes, “One of the most important differences between ambient music and nearly any other kind of pop music is that it doesn’t have a narrative structure at all, there are no words, and there isn’t an attempt to make a story of some kind.”2 Ambient music often substitutes distinct melodies and rhythmic patterns for a wash of sound. Some prominent British artists during the 1990s include The Orb, KLF, Mixmaster Morris and Aphex Twin. Bhangra Bhangra originated as a male folk dance in Punjab to accompany the harvest festival, Baisakhi. It is still performed as a folk dance and may be identified by its characteristic swinging rhythm played on the dhol and dholki, double-sided barrel drums. From the late 1970s onwards, Punjabi immigrants in Britain began to fuse with electronic dance styles including house music and later hip-hop.3 These styles produced a distinct genre of music that was recognized as one of the first prominent examples of British Asian youth culture. -
