  • Paris, 1918-45
    un :al Chapter II a nd or Paris , 1918-45 ,-e ed MARK D EVOTO l.S. as es. 21 March 1918 was the first day of spring. T o celebrate it, the German he army, hoping to break a stalemate that had lasted more than three tat years, attacked along the western front in Flanders, pushing back the nv allied armies within a few days to a point where Paris was within reach an oflong-range cannon. When Claude Debussy, who died on 25 M arch, was buried three days later in the Pere-Laehaise Cemetery in Paris, nobody lingered for eulogies. The critic Louis Laloy wrote some years later: B. Th<' sky was overcast. There was a rumbling in the distance. \Vas it a storm, the explosion of a shell, or the guns atrhe front? Along the wide avenues the only traffic consisted of militarr trucks; people on the pavements pressed ahead hurriedly ... The shopkeepers questioned each other at their doors and glanced at the streamers on the wreaths. 'II parait que c'ctait un musicicn,' they said. 1 Fortified by the surrender of the Russians on the eastern front, the spring offensive of 1918 in France was the last and most desperate gamble of the German empire-and it almost succeeded. But its failure was decisive by late summer, and the greatest war in history was over by November, leaving in its wake a continent transformed by social lb\ convulsion, economic ruin and a devastation of human spirit. The four-year struggle had exhausted not only armies but whole civiliza­ tions.

    Les Forains – Ballet Urbain Anthony Egéa / Cie Rêvolution D’après Les Forains d’Henri Sauget, sur un argument de Boris Kochno – Éditions Salabert Chorégraphie : Anthony Égéa Interprétation : Sofiane Benkamla, Antoine Bouiges, Simon Dimouro, Manuel Guillaud, Jérôme Luca, Amel Sinapayen, Maxim Thach et Aurélien Vaudey Partie orchestrale enregistrée par l’Orchestre de Limoges, sous la direction de Philippe Forget Musique électro : Frank2Louise Scénographie et lumières : Florent Blanchon Costumes : Hervé Poeydomenge Un ballet urbain au confluent du classique et du hip-hop, un métissage culturel festif et détonant ! La création originale des Forains, dont la musique est signée Henri Sauguet, est un court ballet en un acte qui, en 1945, lança la carrière du chorégraphe Roland Petit, peu de temps après la libération. L’Opéra de Limoges et la Cie Rêvolution ont souhaité remettre à l’honneur et au goût du jour cette « fête de la jeunesse et de la danse », comme Jean Cocteau a si bien décrit cette œuvre, célébrant à nouveau le thème intemporel des forains et des artistes de rue. Anthony Égéa s’est donc emparé de cette œuvre du répertoire académique et en a réalisé une création totalement hybride, ingénieux croisement entre le classique et le hip-hop. Les Forains de Sauguet prennent alors place dans notre société contemporaine, où la danse urbaine se mêle poétiquement à la musique orchestrale. En écho à la partition originale, un musicien électro répond par la texture du son synthétique, créant un subtil anachronisme des genres. Sans être figé dans une esthétique particulière, il s’agit bien d’un dialogue permanent entre les styles que ces artistes saltimbanques nous suggèrent le temps d’un ballet urbain.

  • The Function of Music in Sound Film
    THE FUNCTION OF MUSIC IN SOUND FILM By MARIAN HANNAH WINTER o MANY the most interesting domain of functional music is the sound film, yet the literature on it includes only one major work—Kurt London's "Film Music" (1936), a general history that contains much useful information, but unfortunately omits vital material on French and German avant-garde film music as well as on film music of the Russians and Americans. Carlos Chavez provides a stimulating forecast of sound-film possibilities in "Toward a New Music" (1937). Two short chapters by V. I. Pudovkin in his "Film Technique" (1933) are brilliant theoretical treatises by one of the foremost figures in cinema. There is an ex- tensive periodical literature, ranging from considered expositions of the composer's function in film production to brief cultist mani- festos. Early movies were essentially action in a simplified, super- heroic style. For these films an emotional index of familiar music was compiled by the lone pianist who was musical director and performer. As motion-picture output expanded, demands on the pianist became more complex; a logical development was the com- pilation of musical themes for love, grief, hate, pursuit, and other cinematic fundamentals, in a volume from which the pianist might assemble any accompaniment, supplying a few modulations for transition from one theme to another. Most notable of the collec- tions was the Kinotek of Giuseppe Becce: A standard work of the kind in the United States was Erno Rapee's "Motion Picture Moods". During the early years of motion pictures in America few original film scores were composed: D.

  • French Violin Performance from Franck to Ravel A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles In Search of a Style: French Violin Performance from Franck to Ravel A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Musical Arts by Ji Young An 2013 © Copyright by Ji Young An 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION In Search of a Style: French Violin Performance from Franck to Ravel by Ji Young An Doctor of Musical Arts University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Robert Winter, Chair My dissertation focuses on issues of French sound and style in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century French violin repertoire. As a violinist who studied at the Paris Conservatory, I have long been puzzled as to why so little had been written about something that everyone seems to take for granted—so called French style. I attacked this elusive issue from three perspectives: 1) a detailed look at performance directions; 2) comparisons among recordings by artists close to this period (Jacques Thibaud, Zino Francescatti, as well as contemporary French artists such as Philippe Graffin and Guillaume Sutre); and 3) interviews with three living French violinists (Olivier Charlier, Régis Pasquier, and Gérard Poulet) with strong ties to this tradition. After listening to countless historical recordings, I settled on three pivotal works that illustrate the emergence and full flowering of the French style: César Franck’s Violin Sonata (1886), Claude Debussy’s Violin Sonata (1917), and ii Maurice Ravel’s Tzigane: Rapsodie de Concert pour Violon et Piano (1924). Each of them presents specific challenges: notational and stylistic issues in Franck’s Violin Sonata, Debussy’s performance directions in his Violin Sonata, and notational and interpretive issues in Ravel’s Tzigane that led to a separate, orally-transmitted French tradition.

  • Discours De Jean Prodromidès En Hommage À Henri Sauguet
    INSTITUT DE FRANCE ACADEMIE DES BEAUX-ARTS NOTICE SUR LA VIE ET LES TRAVAUX DE M. Henri SAUGUET (1901-1989) par M. Jean PRODROMIDES Lue à l’occasion de son installation comme membre de la Section des Créations artistiques dans le Cinéma et l'Audiovisuel SEANCE DU MERCREDI 20 MARS 1991 Monsieur le Président, Messieurs les Représentants des Ministres, Mesdames, Messieurs, mes chers Confrères, « La réalité ne se forme que dans la mémoire. » Cette réflexion de Marcel Proust résume le sens d'une démarche qui interroge le Temps perdu. Aussi, en remerciant mes nouveaux confrères de l'honneur qui m'est fait, ai-je le sentiment qu'en rendant hommage à mon prédécesseur, il me sera peut-être permis de mieux cerner les contours d'aujourd'hui ou d'éclaircir le projet de demain. Poursuite d'une tradition ou rupture brusque, continuité ou apparente négation, l'évolution des disciplines artistiques se caractérise souvent par ces attitudes contradictoires qui sont cependant l'essence même du mouvement. Mais au-delà des querelles d'école et sans doute des oppositions de style, le parcours d'un créateur authentique, d'un artiste accompli, aura toujours valeur d'exemple. Un an après la mort d'Henri Sauguet, paraît un ouvrage autobiographique dont le titre constitue une véritable profession de foi : « La Musique, ma vie ». Comment aurais-je pu ne pas être guidé dans cet hommage par ce livre de souvenirs où l'homme et le musicien se livrent tout entiers et retracent les étapes de ce long chemin avec tant de fidélité et tant de sincérité.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The musical life of interwar France (1919-39) has fascinated many writers; however, the part played by women musicians has been much neglected. This thesis seeks to rectify this situation by presenting a study of the activities and reception of the musiciennes of interwar France. The thesis is divided into three parts: part one provides a contextual framework within which to situate the pursuits of women musicians by considering both their contemporary social position and the gender- specific conditions which affect the lives, careers, and reception of musiciennes. Part two focuses on conductors and composers. Jane Evrard and her Orchestre feminin de Paris are discussed within the context of the contemporaneous development of the all­ woman orchestra and rise of the first professional female conductors.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of Music The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date: 10 June 1983 i i Abstract While scholars recognize Satie's important influence on the music of our century, the extent and specific nature of his influence has yet to be defined. Focusing on analyses of his personality and his music, modern literature continually neglects to study Satie's historical importance. It is his so- called bizarre and eccentric personality and the pretended simplicity of his musical style that have, in general, attracted modern authors' attention. Consequently, a controversy known as "Le Cas Satie" has developed: How could an eccentric composer whose music is frequently considered inconsequential, have truly exerted the great influence attributed to him in modern literature? If Satie's historical position is to be understood, modern literature's portrayal of the composer must be examined for accuracy, and the extent of his impact must be clarified.
