Arthur Gottschalk Arthur Gottschalk is an Associate Professor of Composition and Theory and the Direc- ,. tor of the Electronic Music Laboratories at The Shepherd School of Music, where he has been a member ofthe faculty since 1977. Born in San Diego in 1952, he received his D. M.A. from the University of Michigan, where he studied with Ross Lee Finney, Leslie Bassett, and William Balcom. In anticipation of the twenty-fifth anniversary of NASA's Lyndon Baines Johnson Space Center, the Houston Festival (now the Houston International Festival) requested a work from Gottschalk. At that time ( 1983 ), he was the Composer-in-Residence at the Columbia­ Princeton Electronic Music Center and was living in New York's Greenwich Village. The Festival had intended a piece for the celebration of Houston, but Gottschalk was more inter­ ested in celebrating New York's "concrete jungles" than Houston's "semi-tropical foliage." The Festival, unaware of Gottschalk's feelings, expected to receive a tonal, celebratory work, but instead received an ambiguously titled work that the composer describes as "monolithic." Fanfare for a Great City is not programmatic but representative. It is sectional in struc­ ture,firmly rooted in the key ofB-flat. In the course ofthe work, the harmony progresses from dominant to tonic. Rhythmic drive supplies an element of cohesion. The instrumenta­ tion calls for four trumpets,four horns, three trombones, and one tuba. Arthur Gottschalk has received the Charles Ives Prize, the Charles Ives Center Fellow­ ship, and the Sigvald Thompson Award. His works have been recorded by Crystal, Orion, Golden Crest, Summit, and Polygram. Fanfare for a Great City is published by Seesaw Music Corporation. Variations on a Theme of Joseph Haydn, Op. 56a Johannes Brahms Johannes Brahms was well established throughout the world as a composer of chamber music, concerti, choral works, and lieder when he began composing his first complete sym­ phonic work, the Variations on a Theme of Haydn, Op. 56a. The techniques he used and mastered in the work, which premiered November 2, 1873, as well as the instant success of the Variations, encouraged Brahms' continued work on his first symphony, which was twen­ ty years in the making. The Haydn Variations, along with the two string quartets of Op. 51, and the orchestration ofthree Hungarian Dances, were integral in the development needed for Brahms to finish this much-anticipated Symphony No. 1. Besides being Brahms' first truly orchestral work, the Haydn Variations holds other significant distinctions: it was the first set of independent variations for orchestra, and it was the first time a passacaglia was used to conclude a set of variations in a symphonic work. (It is interesting to note that in the finale of his Symphony No.4, which was composed thirteen years later, Brahms returned to this technique.) The variation technique was not new for Brahms, since many ofhis earlier works had been constructed with this technique, including the Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Handel, Op. 24, of 1861. (The Handel Variations were written for piano, as were one version of the Haydn Variations, Op. 56b.) The theme chosen by Brahms as the basis for this set of variations was once thought to be by Franz Joseph Haydn, but later research has proven that it was written by an unknown composer. Commonly referred to as the St. Anthony Chorale, it provided Brahms with a melody which could be ornamented and harmonically reinterpreted without the listener losing a sense of the original

    Carmina Burana Carl Orff (1895–1982) Composed: 1935–1936 Style: Contemporary Duration: 58 Minutes

    Carmina Burana Carl Orff (1895–1982) Composed: 1935–1936 Style: Contemporary Duration: 58 minutes The Latin title of tonight’s major work, translated literally as “Songs of Beuren,” comes from the Abby of Benediktbeuren where a book of poems was discovered in 1803. The Abbey is located about 30 miles south of Munich, where the composer Carl Orff was born, educated, and spent most of his life. The 13th century book contains roughly 200 secular poems that describe medieval times. The poems, written by wandering scholars and clerics known as Goliards, attack and satirize the hypocrisy of the Church while praising the self-indulgent virtues of love, food, and drink. Their language and form often parody liturgical phrases and conventions. Similarly, Orff often uses the styles and conventions of 13th century church music, most notably plainchant, to give an air of seriousness and reverence to the texts that their actual meaning could hardly demand. In addition to plainchant, however, the eclectic musical material relies upon all kinds of historical antecedents— from flamenco rhythms (no. 17, “Stetit puella”) to operatic arias (no. 21, “Intrutina”) to chorale texture (no. 24, “Ave formosissima”). The 24 poems that compose Carmina Burana are divided into three large sections— “Springtime,” “In the Tavern,” and “Court of Love” —plus a prologue and epilogue. The work begins with the chorus “Fortuna imperatrix mundi,” (“Fortune, Empress of the World”), which bemoans humankind’s helplessness in the face of the fickle wheel of fate. “Rising first, then declining, hateful life treats us badly, then with kindness, making sport of our desires.” After a brief morality tale, “Fortune plango vunera,” the “Springtime” section begins.
  • Carl Orffs Hesperische Musik

    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.

  • 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.

    Reconsidering the Carmina Burana Gundela Bobeth (Translated by Henry Hope)1

    4 | Wine, women, and song? Reconsidering the Carmina Burana gundela bobeth (translated by henry hope)1 Introduction: blending popular views and scientific approaches By choosing the catchy title Carmina Burana –‘songs from Benediktbeuern’–for his 1847 publication of all Latin and German poems from a thirteenth-century manuscript held at the Kurfürstliche Hof- und Staatsbibliothek Munich, a manuscript as exciting then as now, the librar- ian Johann Andreas Schmeller coined a term which, unto the present day, is generally held to denote secular music-making of the Middle Ages in paradigmatic manner.2 The Carmina Burana may be numbered among the few cornerstones of medieval music history which are known, at least by name, to a broader public beyond the realms of musicology and medieval history, and which have evolved into a ‘living cultural heritage of the present’.3 Held today at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek under shelfmarks Clm 4660 and 4660a, and commonly known as the ‘Codex Buranus’, the manuscript – referred to in what follows as D-Mbs Clm 4660-4660a – constitutes the largest anthology of secular lyrics in medieval Latin and counts among the most frequently studied manuscripts of the Middle Ages.4 Yet the entity most commonly associated with the title Carmina Burana has only little to do with the musical transmission of this manu- script. Carl Orff’s eponymous cantata of 1937, which quickly became one of the most famous choral works of the twentieth century, generally tops the list of associations. Orff’s cantata relates to D-Mbs Clm 4660-4660a only in as much as it is based on a subjective selection of the texts edited by Schmeller; it does not claim to emulate the medieval melodies.
