Thesis Submission
Rebuilding a Culture: Studies in Italian Music after Fascism, 1943-1953 Peter Roderick PhD Music Department of Music, University of York March 2010 Abstract The devastation enacted on the Italian nation by Mussolini’s ventennio and the Second World War had cultural as well as political effects. Combined with the fading careers of the leading generazione dell’ottanta composers (Alfredo Casella, Gian Francesco Malipiero and Ildebrando Pizzetti), it led to a historical moment of perceived crisis and artistic vulnerability within Italian contemporary music. Yet by 1953, dodecaphony had swept the artistic establishment, musical theatre was beginning a renaissance, Italian composers featured prominently at the Darmstadt Ferienkurse , Milan was a pioneering frontier for electronic composition, and contemporary music journals and concerts had become major cultural loci. What happened to effect these monumental stylistic and historical transitions? In addressing this question, this thesis provides a series of studies on music and the politics of musical culture in this ten-year period. It charts Italy’s musical journey from the cultural destruction of the post-war period to its role in the early fifties within the meteoric international rise of the avant-garde artist as institutionally and governmentally-endorsed superman. Integrating stylistic and aesthetic analysis within a historicist framework, its chapters deal with topics such as the collective memory of fascism, internationalism, anti- fascist reaction, the appropriation of serialist aesthetics, the nature of Italian modernism in the ‘aftermath’, the Italian realist/formalist debates, the contradictory politics of musical ‘commitment’, and the growth of a ‘new-music’ culture. In demonstrating how the conflict of the Second World War and its diverse aftermath precipitated a pluralistic and increasingly avant-garde musical society in Italy, this study offers new insights into the transition between pre- and post-war modernist aesthetics and brings musicological focus onto an important but little-studied era. -

Luigi Dallapiccola E Fernando Previtali
Mario Ruffini, Luigi Dallapiccola e Fernando Previtali, in: Fernando Previtali nel primo centenario della nascita, a cura di Mariarosa Pollastri, Rovigo, Accademia dei Concordi / Conservatorio Statale di Musica, 2007, pp. 17-26. Mario Ruffini FERNANDO PREVITALI E LUIGI DALLAPICCOLA * Se dovessimo dar credito al silenzio che quasi immancabilmente avvolge ogni persona dopo la morte, Fernando Previtali sarebbe uno dei tanti granelli passati e dimenticati, numero di quell’incomputabile numero che dà memoria alla stratificazione delle cose umane nel loro insieme. Giunge dunque quanto mai a proposito questo convegno, perché chi si avvicina a Previtali possa accorgersi che la casella dell’oblio in cui è stato depositato non è quella giusta. Dopo una frequentazione ventennale del Veneto, io stesso non avevo il minimo sospetto che Previtali fosse nativo di Adria, pur avendo incrociato spesso il suo nome e la sua figura1: familiare e estraneo allo stesso tempo. La sua attività è di assoluto rilievo, visto che Previtali collabora con Vittorio Gui alla fondazione dell’Orchestra Stabile di Firenze nel 1928, organismo che darà poi vita, cinque anni dopo, al Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, il più antico festival italiano; poi per vent’anni è direttore stabile dell’Orchestra Sinfonica della Radio di Roma, e ancora dell’Accademia di Santa Cecilia, del Teatro Colón di Buenos Aires, con qualche passaggio alla Scala di Milano, al Teatro Regio di Parma, al Teatro di San Carlo di Napoli: attività intensissima dunque, e di primo piano, contrappuntata da tourneé -

In Ricordo Di LUIGI DALLAPICCOLA
In ricordo di LUIGI DALLAPICCOLA Numero speciale del « Notiziario " delle Edizioni Suvini Zerboni - Milano Spedizione in abbonamento postale - gruppo IV In ricordo di LUIGI DALLAPICCOLA EDIZIONI SUVINI ZERBONI - MILANO Si sa che ai tempi della giovinezza di Dallapiccola, nei vasti strati incolti del conformismo musicale italiano (e conservatoriale in ispecie), intellet tualismo - anzi cerebralismo - valeva come corollario di cultura, come etichetta-marchio, come l'« uncino » da appendervi il non-conformista. Che poi un Dallapiccola, colto-intellettualista-cerebrale, abbia in parte assunto quell'uncino e Io abbia rivoltato in arma rispondeva al gioco. Ora il Maestro, che pure non ha fatto a tempo a conoscere la vera vec chiaia, è vissuto abbastanza da vedere cancellarsi quell'etichetta e da can cellarla lui stesso. Cosi il grado di << amicizia » con Luigi Dallapiccola lo si poteva misurare dal progressivo sfogliarsi - nell'incontro - della sua corazza « intellettua listica »: quindi dalla possibilità - sorprendente da principio - di verifì• carne l'esiguità e infine l'estraneità sostanziale al suo essere, alla sua per sona, alla qualità stessa della sua vera cultura: rigorosa ma emotiva e fantastica se mai altra. Senza averlo mai sentito scendere nella futilità, l'ho però sentito parteci pare del quotidiano- suo e altrui- con vivacità e, nel caso, con apprensione. Ma anche a restar fuori dal quotidiano, anche al livello della sua cultura di compositore, c'è da dire come egli ti desse di continuo la possibilità di smantellare la scolasticità di quei temi obbligati che sul suo conto sono sempre corsi, per chi avesse a scrivere o a parlare di lui: l'umanesimo di L.D.; la religiosità di L.D.; cronaca e storia in L.D. -
A Singer's Guide to Performing Two Baroque Cantatas: Barbara
A Singer’s Guide to Performing Two Baroque Cantatas: Barbara Strozzi’s L’Astratto, Op. 8, No. 4, and Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre’s Le Sommeil d’Ulisse A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music May 2012 by Youngmi Kim BM, Ewha Womans University, 2000 MM, University of Cincinnati, 2003 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT The secular cantata was one of the most popular genres in vocal chamber music during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Similar to opera in its musical style and dramatic narrative, the Baroque cantata developed in Italy during the seventeenth century, changing from a multi-sectional movement with quick alternations between recitative, arioso, and aria to a multi-movement piece with several pairs of recitatives and da capo arias by the 1680s. This study is a performer’s guide to Barbara Strozzi’s L’Astratto (1664), Op. 8, No. 4 and Elizabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre’s Le Sommeil d’Ulisse (1715). A comparison of two cantatas by women composers, one from mid-seventeenth-century Italy and the other from early eighteenth century France, allows for a study of different forms, singing styles, ornamentation, instrumentation, and the relationship between text and music in the genre’s development over a half-century. This document aids singers in programming this genre and discovering the music of two of the cantata’s most gifted composers. -

In this document, I discuss both composers’ multi-style blend (neo-Baroque/Serialism for Dallapiccola and neo-Baroque/Nationalism for Villa-Lobos) side by side through a close examination of their biographical background and stages of evolution, followed by a theoretical analysis of these two representative works. -
Il Prigoniero Van Luigi Dallapiccola
© 2009 Mathilde Mayer : Il prigoniero van Luigi Dallapiccola Il prigoniero van Luigi Dallapiccola door Harry Mayer Tijdens het komende Holland-Festival zal de opera Il prigioniero (De gevangene) van Luigi Dallapiccola worden opgevoerd. Deze in de jaren 1944 tot 1948 ontstane één- acter herinnert, wat het tekstgegeven betreft, aan een enige jaren ouder werk van dezelfde toondichter: de Canti de prigionia (liederen uit de gevangenschap). Beide composities werden gecreëerd vanuit een diepe humane bewogenheid over het lot van ter dood veroordeelde gevangenen. De Canti di prigionia waren laatste gebeden van Maria Stuart, van de Romeinse geleerde en magistraat Boëthius en van Gerolamo Savonarola. In Il prigioniero is het een uit Vlaanderen afkomstig, niet met name genoemd slachtoffer van de hertog van Alva. De sfeer van het ene zowel als van het andere werk is tragisch, desolaat en in sommige momenten van een beklemmende dramatiek. Doch terwijl de Canti nog uitlopen op een berustend geloof in de overwinning van de geest, eindigt Il prigioniero in de somberst denkbare desillusie en wanhoop. Dallapiccola verdeelde zijn drama in een proloog, twee koorintermezzi en vier tonelen. In de proloog horen wij de klacht van de moeder van de gevangene op één der twaalftoonsreeksen, waaruit de componist het rijk gelede klankenweefsel heeft opgebouwd. Heel eigenaardig is het dat in Dallapiccola’s dodecafoniek de reeksen méér zijn dan alleen maar grondstoffen voor melodieën en harmonieën. Iedere reeks is bij deze componist verbonden met een bepaalde uitdrukkingswaarde; in dit opzicht kan men haar betekenis enigszins vergelijken met die van een grondthema uit een muziekdrama van Wagner. Trouwens, ook het gebruik van meer dan één reeks in een zelfde werk is wel heel afwijkend van de normale praktijken der Oostenrijkse twaalftoonsmeesters, die hele opera’s op slechts één reeks componeerden.
