  • Romance and Writing: Interpreting the Lyric Domnas of Occitania
    Trends in Historiography Romance and Writing: Interpreting the Lyric Domnas of Occitania by Aubri E. Thurmond “I’ll ask you this: when a lady freely loves a man, should she do as much for him as he for her, according to the rules of courtly love?”1 These words are attributed to Maria de Ventadorn, a woman composing in the lyric tradition of the troubadours. From 1100-1300 A.D., Occitania (Southern France) produced over 400 troubadours whose poetry shaped the concepts of romantic love in the West. Their poems, written in langue d’oc, were expressions of fin’ amor, or courtly love.2 According to Paul Zumthor, “Fin’ amor strives toward a desired but unnamed good, bestowable only by a lady, herself identified only by an emblematic pseudonym: a dialogue without reply, pure song, turning into poetry the movements of a heart contemplating an object whose importance as such is minimal.”3 The troubadour was symbolically dependent on the favor of his lady, therefore seemingly giving her power and humbling himself.4 Fin ‘amor was the source of all courtly values.5 However, there were also women troubadours, called trobairitz, in Southern France. The name trobairitz comes from the root trobar, meaning to compose and the feminine suffix –airitz, literally meaning “a woman who composes.”6 The female troubadours did not refer to themselves as trobairitz. In fact, the term trobairitz is only found once in 13th century literature: in the romance Flamenca, when the heroine calls her maid 1 As quoted in Meg Bogin, The Women Troubadours (Scarborough, England: Paddington Press Ltd., 1976), 99.

  • THE SHARED INFLUENCES and CHARACTERISTICS of JAZZ FUSION and PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014
    COMMON GROUND: THE SHARED INFLUENCES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF JAZZ FUSION AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master in Jazz Performance and Pedagogy Department of Music 2020 Abstract Blunk, Joseph Michael (M.M., Jazz Performance and Pedagogy) Common Ground: The Shared Influences and Characteristics of Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock Thesis directed by Dr. John Gunther In the late 1960s through the 1970s, two new genres of music emerged: jazz fusion and progressive rock. Though typically thought of as two distinct styles, both share common influences and stylistic characteristics. This thesis examines the emergence of both genres, identifies stylistic traits and influences, and analyzes the artistic output of eight different groups: Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis’s electric ensembles, Tony Williams Lifetime, Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Soft Machine. Through qualitative listenings of each group’s musical output, comparisons between genres or groups focus on instances of one genre crossing over into the other. Though many examples of crossing over are identified, the examples used do not necessitate the creation of a new genre label, nor do they demonstrate the need for both genres to be combined into one. iii Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Part One: The Emergence of Jazz………………………………………………………….. 3 Part Two: The Emergence of Progressive………………………………………………….. 10 Part Three: Musical Crossings Between Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock…………….... 16 Part Four: Conclusion, Genre Boundaries and Commonalities……………………………. 40 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………….

  • Konzert Mit Amber Rubarth
    PRESSEINFORMATION Natureum Niederelbe • 21730 Balje 24.01.2019 Ein musikalischer „Bernstein“ im Natureum Amerikanerin Amber Rubarth gibt Konzert im Naturkundemuseum Balje. Es gibt sie regelmäßig, die Bernsteintage im Natureum. Bernstein heißt ins Englische übersetzt „Amber“. Nun präsentiert sich am Sonnabend, 2. Februar, ein ganz besonderer Bernstein im Naturkundemuseum in Balje, denn die amerikanische Songwriterin und Folk- Sängerin Amber Rubarth gibt ein besonderes Konzert inmitten der Ausstellung „Lebensader Elbstrom“. Beginn des Konzertes ist um 19 Uhr, Einlass ab 18.30 Uhr. Der Eintritt ist frei. Es wird um Spenden für die Musikerin gebeten. Amber Rubarth ist das, was man eine „Globetrotterin“ nennt. Im vergangenen Jahr bereiste sie die halbe Welt und war nicht nur in Nordamerika und Europa auf den Musikbühnen zu finden, sondern auch ausgiebig in Asien auf Tour. Nun reist sie direkt vom „Americana Fest“ aus London an und begibt sich Ende Februar zu Konzerten auf einen Trip nach Südafrika. In Kalifornien geboren, zog es Amber Rubarth (Jahrgang 1982) als 17-Jährige nach Carson City in Nevada. Sie erlernte als Autodidaktin das Spiel auf der Gitarre. Im Jahr 2005 erblickte ihr erstes Album „Something New“ das Licht der Musikwelt. Aktuell lebt die Songwriterin und Schauspielerin in Nashville. Ende 2017 veröffentlichte die 36-Jährige schon ihr achtes Album, das den Titel „Wildflowers in the Graveyard“ trägt. Die Songs sind pure Entschleunigung, minimalistisch, aber gewaltig in ihrer Wirkung. Das Magazin „Westzeit“ des WDR urteilte dazu: „Das schönste und poetischste Folk-Album des Jahres“. Amber Rubarth ist bereits mit Emmylou Harris, Kenny Loggins, Richie Havens, Marc Cohn und Loudon Wainwright III getourt und wurde mit verschiedenen Preisen ausgezeichnet.
