  • Genesi Ed Estetica Del Suono Nel Prometeo Di Luigi Nono
    Simone Broglia “Vibrano intese segrete”. Genesi ed estetica del suono nel Prometeo di Luigi Nono. Il Prometeo rappresenta per Nono il raggiungimento di un’idea: l’opera in funzione dell’ascolto. Arriva quasi al termine della carriera del compositore, segnando così il picco massimo di una ricerca tanto profonda da non riuscire ancora ad ammettere sintesi, ma solo l’unione più o meno organica e vitale di diverse parti che vanno a formare il corpo di un gigante. La sintesi arriverà dopo Prometeo, con la maturità di un’esperienza tanto complessa che gli permetterà di lavorare in formazioni più agili e progetti meno dispendiosi. Prometeo è un’opera del 1984, la cui idea nasce però anni prima con Io, frammento da Prometeo del 1981 e che si farà carico di portare con sé i vari campi della ricerca noniana. Quella di un nuovo teatro musicale, che parte con Intolleranza 1960 e si sviluppa con Al gran sole carico d’amore e che ha l’intento primario di cercare un maggiore coinvolgimento sinestetico attraverso il dislocamento spaziale della scena. La ricerca sulla dimensione elettroacustica, che passa dalla fissità del nastro magnetico suonato con lo strumento dal vivo alla continua capacità di dialogo rigenerante del live electronic e del calcolatore 4i; la ricerca compositiva sulle prassi esecutive e i microintervalli. A questo lavoro di carattere estetico si deve sommare però, come spesso avviene in Nono, una necessità etica: portare in primo piano l’ascolto vuol dire sviluppare una modalità sovversiva rispetto al sistema egemone di trasmissione acustica, estetica e culturale. Ecco allora che, se Venezia diventa la similitudine primaria di un ascolto contrario alla monodirezionalità, il coinvolgimento del giovane architetto Renzo Piano diventa essenziale per la progettazione di uno spazio in grado di ricreare un multiverso sonoro.

Im Mittelpunkt der Studie steht mit Nonos Prometeo eine der bekanntesten und komplexesten Raum- kompositionen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung ist die Re- konstruktion des hörbaren Klangs der im speziellen Holzbau von Renzo Piano ver- teilt aufgestellten Musiker, Sänger und Lautsprecher bei der Uraufführung 1985. Die Analyse der Raum-Klang-Verhältnisse zeigt, dass die elf Teile des Prometeo aus sich ständig wandelnden Raumklangskulpturen bestehen, die mit den Texten aus Massimo Cacciaris Libretto interagieren.

  • Martha Brech Composed Space in Luigi Nono's Live-Electronic
    Proceedings of the Electroacoustic Music Studies Network Conference, Florence (Italy), June 20-23, 2018. www.ems-network.org Martha Brech Composed Space in Luigi Nono’s Live-Electronic Composition Prometeo Research project: History and Technology of Musical Spaces Audio Communication Group, Technical University Berlin [email protected] Introduction Among the electroacoustical space compositions of the pre-digital era, Luigi Nono’s Prometeo, tragedia dell’ ascolto (1985) is extraordinary—not only because it is still performed regularly today, it is also an extremely complex work of the mixed category. Nono composed it as a texture of interwoven musical fragments, some based on lyrics that Nono had fragmented and rearranged from a libretto by Massimo Cacciari’s which itself was based on antique Greek mythologies, Ayschylos’ Prometheus tragedy, and modern literature excerpts from Friedrich Hölderlin and Walter Benjamin. Performing the work requires four orchestra groups, solo wind and string groups, a glass soloist (used as percussion), a mixed choir, a group of five solo singers and two speakers, a huge amount of equipment for live electronics (such as harmonizer, vocoder, reverb, delay, a sound motion device called Halaphon etc.), and at least twelve loudspeakers. Each group of musicians and each loudspeaker are placed on an individual position in the performance hall. Because until today only little was known about precisely how space is involved in the composition and what its functions are therein, the focus of my research project on spatial composition in the analogue era lies, at the moment, on the spatial aspects and their composition and representation in Prometeo —and that is also the focus of this paper.

    Música para charlar Música para charlar is the title of a piece by Silvestre Revueltas, and can be translated as “chit-chat” or “background music.” Hopefully, the music on this concert will mark the beginning of a fruitful dialogue between those who make music on both sides of the border: some small talk over the picket fence that separates our neighboring backyards or, as Revueltas would have liked it, a frank exchange of ideas over, let’s say, a few glasses of tequila. —Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez This concert is made possible in part by major grants from the US-Mexico San Francisco Contemporary Music Players Fund for Culture and the Clarence E.

  • 6. January 2021 Luigi Nono: Intolleranza 1960 Download
    Luigi Nono: Intolleranza 1960 Luigi Nono © Roberto Masotti / Lelli e Masotti Archivio During the 2021 Festival summer, two completely opposed ways of perceiving the world are a central preoccupation of our opera and theatre productions: radical individualism versus the humanistic idea of a society based on solidarity, as invoked by Luigi Nono in his work Intolleranza 1960. “Nono’s reflections have never been more important than today.” “While Don Giovanni, Richard III or even Elektra bestride the world with remarkable ruthlessness, acting almost without human ties and without systems of social order,” Artistic Director Markus Hinterhäuser explains, “we join Luigi Nono in asking the important questions: what is community? How can we try to find a kind of justice? – Thus, we offer a counter-model to radical individualism, namely Luigi Nono’s appeal to humanity: Intolleranza 1960 – a work of humanism, a work of altruism, a work of justice.” Luigi Nono’s Intolleranza 1960 can be understood as a modern passion, focusing on the awakening of human consciousness and the fundamental conditions of human life. “Luigi Nono speaks of the certainty that humans must be helpers to humankind. There is no truer way to phrase this: how we as humans must act and react within a world which is increasingly relentless, but with which we must deal, in which we must live. This reflection on the notions of ‘tolerance’ and ‘intolerance’ has presumably never been more important than today, now, at this very hour,” says Markus Hinterhäuser. Over the course of the past three decades, Luigi Nono’s works have been performed in benchmark productions in Salzburg.

  • MTO 12.1: Guerrero, Serial Intervention in Nono's Il Canto
    Volume 12, Number 1, February 2006 Copyright © 2006 Society for Music Theory Jeannie Ma. Guerrero KEYWORDS: Nono, total serialism, integral serialism ABSTRACT: The instrumental movements of Luigi Nono’s Il canto sospeso exhibit a variety of procedures that override determinations made by serial structures. The overrides, as I describe them, yield novel textures in multiple musical dimensions and seem to inspire Nono’s experimentation with electronic media later in his career. Further, multidimensional textures create formal musical and symbolic regions that underlie Nono’s projection of highly charged textual matter. Received January 2006 [1] Nono’s experimentation with total serialism during his association with the Darmstadt Summer Courses (roughly 1950 to 1960) produced works whose lineage to serialism becomes interwoven with other compositional strands. The mixture of ideas fosters competition between organizing forces in his compositions from that time, yielding an outward appearance of erratic or conflicted behavior especially with regard to serial principles of ordering.(1) For instance, Nono’s studies in Renaissance puzzle canons during the previous decade shaped his musical endeavors.(2) Not unlike his contemporaries, he occasionally used imitative procedures inspired by puzzle canons as organizing elements that operated beyond the reach of serial material.(3) Pitch-class palindromes, for example, subject their generative twelve-tone series to replicative symmetry, in complete independence from any inherent symmetry that the

In this study Carola Nielinger-Vakil examines these major works in the context of Nono’s amalgamation of avant-garde composition with communist political engagement. Part I discusses Il canto sospeso in the context of all of Nono’s anti-fascist pieces, from the unfinished Fučík project (1951) to Ricorda cosa ti hanno fatto in Auschwitz (1966). Nielinger-Vakil explores Nono’s position at the Darmstadt Music Courses, the evolution of his compositional technique, his penchant for music theatre and his use of spatial and electronic techniques to set the composer and his works against the diverging circumstances in Italy and Germany after 1945. Part II further examines these concerns and shows how they live on in Nono’s work after 1975, culminating in a thorough analysis of Prometeo. carola nielinger-vakil is a freelance flautist and musicologist based in London.
