  • National Folk Song and Dance Ensemble Mazowsze 2021-10-04, 08:48
    National Folk Song and Dance Ensemble Mazowsze https://www.mazowsze.waw.pl/en/news/666,Report-from-the-Family-Picnic-with-Mazowsze.html 2021-10-04, 08:48 Report from the Family Picnic with Mazowsze - thank you that you were with us! The open-air picnic with Mazowsze at Karolin, introducing the summer, is already over. The ensemble presented several shows for to the audience – concerts of various kinds of music: folk, classical, pop, and film music, for example from James Bond movies and Pirates of the Caribbean. The audience saw Mazowsze's soloists, choir, and orchestra, but also several guests. Among them, there were the renowned opera and operetta singers Dorota Laskowiecka and Adam Sobierajski, who sang for example “O mio babbino caro” from the opera Gianni Schicchi, “Nessun dorma” from Turandot, and the operetta fan favorite duet of Silva and Edwin from the operetta Die Csárdásfürstin [The Csardas Princess or The Riviera Girl]. The young, internationally renowned and awarded bass-baritone Łukasz Karauda, also presented opera repertoire on the stage. The singer, who has recently also become Mazowsze's soloist, sang “The Toreador Song” from Georges Bizet's opera Carmen. The concerts were conducted by Jacek Boniecki, Wojciech Gwiszcz, and Klemens Starybrat. It was a very special opportunity to listen to them, as each of them creates his own particular sound with the ensemble's orchestra. Mazowsze however, is not only music and singing – there is also dancing, performed by the ensemble's ballet. The program included pieces that allowed the dancers to show their versatility. There were the Polish national and regional dances Mazowsze is famous for, but also the classic tango (solo by Kamila Borowska and Adam Czechlewski) and waltz (solo by Dorota Rak and Marcos De Lima).Mazowsze 's performance wasn't the only occasion to see dance: there were also presentations prepared by the participants of the “Dancing with Mazowsze” workshops, and the performance prepared by the Folk Dance Ensemble “Pruszkowiacy”.

  • The Use of the Polish Folk Music Elements and the Fantasy Elements in the Polish Fantasy on Original Themes In
    THE USE OF THE POLISH FOLK MUSIC ELEMENTS AND THE FANTASY ELEMENTS IN THE POLISH FANTASY ON ORIGINAL THEMES IN G-SHARP MINOR FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA OPUS 19 BY IGNACY JAN PADEREWSKI Yun Jung Choi, B.A., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: Adam Wodnicki, Major Professor Jeffrey Snider, Minor Professor Joseph Banowetz, Committee Member Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Choi, Yun Jung, The Use of the Polish Folk Music Elements and the Fantasy Elements in the Polish Fantasy on Original Themes in G-sharp Minor for Piano and Orchestra, Opus 19 by Ignacy Jan Paderewski. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2007, 105 pp., 5 tables, 65 examples, references, 97 titles. The primary purpose of this study is to address performance issues in the Polish Fantasy, Op. 19, by examining characteristics of Polish folk dances and how they are incorporated in this unique work by Paderewski. The study includes a comprehensive history of the fantasy in order to understand how Paderewski used various codified generic aspects of the solo piano fantasy, as well as those of the one-movement concerto introduced by nineteenth-century composers such as Weber and Liszt. Given that the Polish Fantasy, Op. 19, as well as most of Paderewski’s compositions, have been performed more frequently in the last twenty years, an analysis of the combination of the three characteristic aspects of the Polish Fantasy, Op.19 - Polish folk music, the generic rhetoric of a fantasy and the one- movement concerto - would aid scholars and performers alike in better understanding the composition’s engagement with various traditions and how best to make decisions about those traditions when approaching the work in a concert setting.

  • Singing in ‘The Peg’: the Dynamics of Winnipeg Singing Cultures During the 20Th Century
    Singing in ‘The Peg’: The Dynamics of Winnipeg Singing Cultures During the 20th Century Muriel Louise Smith Doctor of Philosophy University of York Music September 2015 This thesis is dedicated to my parents, William Moore (1910-1982) Ann Moore (1916-2011) who inspired, demanded excellence, and loved me. 2 Abstract The research begins by establishing Winnipeg, as a city comprised of many different European immigrant communities where the dominant British-Canadian culture reflected the Canadian national consciousness of the early 20th century. After an outline of early musical life in the city, four case studies demonstrate how the solo vocal and choral culture in Winnipeg represents a realization of the constitutive, continuously forming and mutable relationships between peoples of differing identities. In all of these case studies, I investigate how this culture has been shaped by social and political actions through transnational connections over the 20th century. The first two case studies are underpinned by the theories of cultural capital and gender. The first focuses on the Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg (1900-1920s), an elite group of Brito-Canadian women who shaped the reception of high art singing among their peers primarily through their American connections. The second investigates the Men’s Musical Club of Winnipeg (1920s-1950s), a dynamic group of businessmen and musicians who sought to reinforce Brito-Canadian cultural supremacy by developing a choral culture and establishing a music competition festival based on British models and enforced by British musical associations. The third and fourth case studies are examined through the lens of diaspora and identity, underpinned by social capital.

By contrast, music which is popular but perceived as “bad” has generated surprisingly little interest. This dissertation looks at Polish post-socialist music through the lenses of musical phenomena that came to prominence after socialism collapsed but which are perceived as controversial, undesired, shameful, and even dangerous. They run the gamut from the perceived nadir of popular music to some works of the most renowned contemporary classical composers that are associated with the suffix -polo, an expression

  • The Polish Folk Ensembles of Winnipeg: Shaped by Atlantic Cultural Currents
    The Polish Folk Ensembles of Winnipeg: Shaped by Atlantic Cultural Currents MURIEL SMITH Abstract: Two Polish folk ensembles of Winnipeg share ancestral roots and a similar purpose as purveyors of Polish Canadian culture, yet they are disparate in their approach; one centres on maintaining an authentic heritage, the other on relevance. By examining their entwined histories, I propose that processes of globalization involving the transfer of information, ideas and cultural perspectives across multiple generations and numerous transatlantic Polish migrations have reformulated and re-signified the expressive practices of these two groups. This study contributes to musicological research considering transatlantic cultural flows between ancestral homelands and the Americas. 145-77. 40 (1): Résumé : Deux groupes folkloriques polonais de Winnipeg partagent les mêmes racines ancestrales et ont le même objectif, être les pourvoyeurs d’une culture canado-polonaise. Et cependant, ils ont une approche MUSICultures radicalement différente : l’un privilégie la conservation d’un patrimoine authentique, l’autre celui de la pertinence. En examinant leurs histoires entremêlées, j’émets l’hypothèse que le processus de mondialisation qui implique les transferts d’informations, d’idées et de perspectives culturelles à travers des générations multiples et de nombreuses migrations transatlantiques, ont reformulé et conféré un nouveau sens aux pratiques expressives de ces deux groupes. Cette étude contribue à la recherche en musicologie qui examine les flux culturels transatlantiques entre les patries ancestrales et les Amériques.

    LAJKONIK OF TUCSON – A PIECE OF TRUE POLAND: CONSTRUCTING POLISH – AMERICAN IDENTITIES IN AN ETHNICALLY HETEROGENEOUS SOCIETY __________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ___________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ___________________________________________________ by Monika Glowacka-Musial January 2010 ii © by Monika Glowacka-Musial May 2010 All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Lajkonik of Tucson – a piece of true Poland: Constructing Polish-American identities in an ethnically heterogeneous society Monika Glowacka-Musial Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2010 Dr. Paul Garrett Tucson, Arizona is a site of a lively Polish-American community. Initially associated with a political organization (“Solidarity Tucson”), which actively supported the Solidarity Movement throughout the 1980s, the Polish diaspora has gradually transformed into an ethnic community very much focused on maintaining its distinctive heritage. Recent formation of the Polish folkloric dance group Lajkonik was directly stimulated by the local multicultural establishment, which promotes ethnic diversity in the Old Pueblo. Having become an integral part of the Southwestern society, Lajkonik has developed a collection of identity practices, which despite diverse influences continues to reproduce Polish cultural traits. In my ethnographic account, I examine ways, by which members of the Lajkonik group construct their diasporic identities. First, I focus on the core activities of the group, which include the practice of Polish traditions, learning folk dances and songs in a wide cultural context, and negotiating the speaking of Polish. Additional analyses, based on video recordings, of Polish classes and dance rehearsals, which show the actual mechanics of the production processes, as well as the narratives of the teacher and parent of performers, further support the account of the ethnographer.
