The story of women's struggles against traditional gender barriers in the American classical music community is illustrated by photographs, letters, clippings, concert programs, and other historical materials pre- served in the BSO Archives. Pictured here with her husband Georg Henschel, the BSO's first music director (1881-1884), is soprano Lillian Bailey Henschel, who appeared as a guest soloist with the Boston Symphony more than a hundred times between 1881 and 1898.

  • Music Theory Analysis Varese Octandre Combination Tones Halls
    Precompositional Application of Combination Tones in Octandre by Edgard Varese by Glen Halls © All Rights Reserved Abstract The author presents a possible insight into the composition of Varesian pitch structures. The compositional application of combination tones is demonstrated for Octandre (1923). Specifically, it suggests that combination tones (occurring among the frequencies of a given sound-mass) are mapped as pitch materials in the continuing transformed sound mass, or used to create self-reinforcing sonorities. There are two major obstacles in the analysis of Varese's music. First of all, he destroyed most of his notes and early formative scores.1 Secondly, he was reluctant to discuss his compositional procedures in detail, at least publicly, preferring instead to speak with a kind of overblown rhetoric.Theorists therefore have been permitted a certain freedom of interpretation with respect to his music. Yet in general, Varese's music has proven resistant to specific empirical analysis. His music tends to be eclectic in design and one is unlikely to uncover an all-inclusive compositional system.2 A specific compostional method may be apparent, however, if one considers pitch structures in isolation. Throughout his career Varese advocated a closer relationship between music and science. With this in mind, is it not reasonable to speculate that Varese should try to structure his music in some way with respect to the known physics of sound? Given Varese's interest in acoustics, his dismissal of the twelve tone system,3 and his particular choice of terminology and rhetoric, combination tone mapping might be a solution to the enigmatic nature of Varesian pitch structures.

Winther____________ Kimberly Paice _______________ Terence G. Milligan____________ _____________________________ _______________________________ Edgard Varèse and the Visual Avant-Garde: A Comparative Study of Intégrales and Works of Art by Marcel Duchamp A document submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Ensembles and Conducting Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2005 by Colleen Richardson B.M., Brandon University, 1987 M.M., University of Calgary, 2001 Committee Chair: Rodney Winther ABSTRACT Edgard Varèse (1883–1965) had closer affiliations throughout his life with painters and poets than with composers, and his explanations or descriptions of his music resembled those of visual artists describing their own work. Avant-garde visual artists of this period were testing the dimensional limits of their arts by experimenting with perspective and concepts of space and time. In accordance with these artists, Varèse tested the dimensional limits of his music through experimentation with the concept of musical space and the projection of sounds into such space. Varèse composed Intégrales (1925) with these goals in mind after extended contact with artists from the Arensberg circle. Although more scholars are looking into Varèse’s artistic affiliations for insight into his compositional approach, to date my research has uncovered no detailed comparisons between specific visual works of art and the composer’s Intégrales.

  • A PROPÓSITO DE OCTANDRE DE EDGAR VARÈSE Pablo Cetta
    FACULTAD DE ARTES Y CIENCIAS MUSICALES CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS ELECTROACÚSTICOS A PROPÓSITO DE OCTANDRE DE EDGAR VARÈSE Pablo Cetta Edgard Varèse fue uno de los compositores pioneros en la ampliación de los recursos instrumentales. Sus exigencias se extienden a los usos dinámicos, a la precisión y variedad de las articulaciones, a la extensión de las tesituras, al uso de los registros extremos. En este artículo vamos a considerar algunas particularidades de su estilo a través del análisis de su obra Octandre. En el terreno de la dinámica, hallamos en su música requerimientos prácticamente imposibles, casi conceptuales. Tal es el caso del crescendo que ocurre al final del solo de oboe del primer movimiento, que parte de ff para llegar a ffff. O el comienzo del segundo movimiento, donde exige un matiz fff al piccolo sobre una nota de su primera octava. Por otra parte, producto de las combinaciones instrumentales, plantea conflictos en cuanto al equilibrio de las sonoridades, dado que el compositor tiende a escribir en dinámicas absolutas. Si solicita un cuádruple forte para un oboe y una trompeta, espera que ambos instrumentos suenen equilibrados, y esa tarea cabe al director del ensamble. Pero en la práctica, las modificaciones necesarias para lograr semejante equilibrio suelen comprometer la fuerza de los pasajes musicales. Respecto a las resultantes tímbricas que surgen de la articulación de los sonidos, su escritura es la que registra los primeros usos del frullato en oboe y los golpes de llave en la flauta. Las notas repetidas con diferentes articulaciones dan, por su parte, la sensación de un único sonido en constante transformación, con cambios dinámicos extremos que revelan la existencia de una fuerza contenida, a veces oprimida, que ejerce una enorme presión por liberarse.

  • Tijana Ilišević* TELEOLOGICAL STRATEGIES in OCTANDRE BY
    Ilišević, T., Teleological Strategies in Octandre by Edgard Varèse Article received on July 31st 2017 Article accepted on November 13th 2017 UDC: 788.087.3 Tijana Ilišević* Department of Music Theory Faculty of Music, Belgrade TELEOLOGICAL STRATEGIES IN OCTANDRE BY EDGARD VARÈSE Abstract: The objective of this work is the discovery and analysis of teleological strate- gies, i.e. the ways in which music which is not tonal-oriented finds points of orientation, how it is structured around them and directed towards them as formal supports. A mod- ernist composition Octandre by Edgar Varèse which is composed for seven wind instru- ments and double-bass will serve as an analytical sample. An important element of the composition is the use of sound masses as basic building units, whose expressive meaning is within the general character of the sound, and not in the concrete melodic content. Seemingly, the relevance of individual pitches is minimized, which could indicate the possible statics and absence of goal-oriented movement. However, the analysis has dis- covered an orientation towards certain goals, as well as the crucial importance of param- eters of pitches during the process of their realisation. By tracking these processes, as well as by analyzing the sets from which the sound masses of the work are built, it will be concluded that the analyzed work rests upon advisedly elaborated compositional strategies that make its course targeted. Key words: posttonal music, teleology, hromatic aggregates, sound masses, sets The projection of goals and goal-oriented movement can seem to be a hopeless task for a composer of post-tonal orientation.

Movement ......40. 2nd. Movement ..... 57. 3rd. Movement ..... 74. CHAPTER FOUR INTEGRALES..................90. APPENDIX VARESE'S WORKS ....................................... 130. BIBLIOGRAPHY ....................................... 131. PREFACE The object of my analysis of Hyperprism, Octand.re and Intgrales is to explain the mechanics of the construction of Varse's works and., thereby, reveal his concept of music, in general, and the consequent treatment of the various parameters of music, in particular. These analyses have been written in a way that assumes almost constant reference to a score. In the text I refer the reader to bar numbers in the music for ease of the accurate pin-pointing of specific events. In the score of Intgrales bar numbers can be easily calculated because the rehearsal figures occur at ten-bar intervals; starting with figure D] which is bar 11, there- fore, figure j] is bar 21 etc. When discussing the length of sections within a work I sometimes refer to the number of beats and at other times the length of a section is described in seconds. The reason for this is that when the portion of music being discussed is governed by a Bingle tempo indication the length can accurately be described in number of beats, but when changes of tempo are involved a time value is necessary in order to be able to effectively compare the length of one section with another.

Program Notes JOSH LEVINE (b. 1959) Josh Levine reflects on his craft: “There often emerges in my music a nostalgia for the traditionally ‘beautiful’ music that I neither want to write nor wish to deny, [the music] that always seems to appear in the form of solitary, trapped, dislocated, deforming remnants of melodies and romantic gestures.” As these words suggest, Levine’s music is communicative in elusive ways, always remain- ing open to multiple interpretations.
