Duncan emphasized spontaneity in his writing and, like fellow Black Mountain poet Charles Olson, was an advocate of “open form.” Duncan became Pauline Oliveros’ friend and mentor in 1957, and introduced her to the community of gay poets in the San Francisco Bay Area.

  • The Boston Modern Orchestra Project's January 2008 Premiere of Ezra Sims's Concert Piece II, Featuring Clarinetists Michael
    The Boston Modern Orchestra Project’s January 2008 premiere of Ezra Sims’s Concert Piece II, featuring clarinetists Michael Norsworthy and Amy Advocat, was one of the most thrilling concert experiences I can remember. I’ve been an admirer of Sims’s music for many years, and I am familiar with his distinctive microtonal style—certain characteristic intervals and harmonies, ostinati, and phrase contours. But despite my familiarity, I found myself laughing out loud with pleasure at this latest, and very grand, example of Sims’s continued resolve and daring. Years ago the Boston Globe music critic Richard Buell called Sims’s music “subversive,” and I believe in a sense he was right. With certain aspects of his music Sims sticks to tradition; for example, Concert Piece II is a double concerto with classic instrumentation, in ABA form, with clear motivic development, arching “antecedent” and “consequent” phrases, even tonality (albeit of an idiosyncratic kind). However, within conventional parameters such as these Sims produces sonorities that subvert our expectations on a visceral level. From the very opening of Concert Piece II, over undulating and pulsating microtonal figures in the strings and bassoons, the clarinets begin trading off strange, soaring lines with intervals such as 1/3 tones, 2/3 tones, and 1/6-tone-augmented minor thirds. The melodies are elegant, articulate, intensely expressive, and even seem to have familiar contours—yet they are also startlingly alien. This feeling is somehow underscored when the oboe enters with its own wild take on the theme, and then even further when later the violins, flutes, and oboe take up the thematic line in unison.

  • The Rai Studio Di Fonologia (1954–83)
    ELECTRONIC MUSIC HISTORY THROUGH THE EVERYDAY: THE RAI STUDIO DI FONOLOGIA (1954–83) Joanna Evelyn Helms A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Andrea F. Bohlman Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Mark Katz Lee Weisert © 2020 Joanna Evelyn Helms ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joanna Evelyn Helms: Electronic Music History through the Everyday: The RAI Studio di Fonologia (1954–83) (Under the direction of Andrea F. Bohlman) My dissertation analyzes cultural production at the Studio di Fonologia (SdF), an electronic music studio operated by Italian state media network Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) in Milan from 1955 to 1983. At the SdF, composers produced music and sound effects for radio dramas, television documentaries, stage and film operas, and musical works for concert audiences. Much research on the SdF centers on the art-music outputs of a select group of internationally prestigious Italian composers (namely Luciano Berio, Bruno Maderna, and Luigi Nono), offering limited windows into the social life, technological everyday, and collaborative discourse that characterized the institution during its nearly three decades of continuous operation. This preference reflects a larger trend within postwar electronic music histories to emphasize the production of a core group of intellectuals—mostly art-music composers—at a few key sites such as Paris, Cologne, and New York. Through close archival reading, I reconstruct the social conditions of work in the SdF, as well as ways in which changes in its output over time reflected changes in institutional priorities at RAI.

  • Maestro D'arte E Di Vita
    G IADA V IVIANI Maestro d’arte e di vita. Modelli e percorsi della riflessione teorica di Camillo Togni su Arnold Schönberg roverbiale è la strenua ricerca d’ordine condotta per tutta la vita da Camillo Togni, impostagli, secondo le sue stesse ricostruzioni a posteriori, dalla ferrea disciplina cui Pdall’età di tredici anni si era dovuto sottoporre per riuscire a convivere con il «bleicher Geselle» («pallido compagno») del diabete, ossia con il memento mori che, a partire dalla diagnosi dei medici, avrebbe pungolato la sua intera attività artistica e intellettuale. 1 In alcune dichiarazioni rilasciate tra gli anni ’80 e ’90, il compositore fa infatti coincidere con l’inizio della malattia – o meglio, della cura – la propria svolta decisiva verso quell’ideale di impegno e rigore che ne permeerà tanto l’esistenza quanto l’espressione arti- stica, incarnandosi sul piano della scrittura musicale in un’adesione assoluta, seppur mai acritica, al metodo della composizione seriale: Una disciplina ferrea richiesta dalla mia sopravvivenza di giorno in giorno e l’assiduità con cui perseguivo la cura insulinica l’ho applicata alla serie. Mi ero forgiato un metodo. Questo biograficamente è vero, perché io ho cominciato a studiare sul serio, anche a scuola, proprio allora. Il modo di curarmi mi ha insegnato una certa disciplina.2 Al di là dell’interesse aneddotico di simili affermazioni, costituisce un dato essen- ziale per l’esegesi togniana la sua personale concezione del «metodo compositivo dodecafo- nico» come «l’unico ausilio […] per un musicista dei nostri tempi per mettere in ordine le proprie idee», la quale, formulata già nel 1951 in una lettera indirizzata al compositore svedese Bengt Hambraeus,3 ha rappresentato per tutta la sua vita una costante cruciale del pensiero del compositore.

    Andrián Pertout Three Microtonal Compositions: The Utilization of Tuning Systems in Modern Composition Volume 1 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Produced on acid-free paper Faculty of Music The University of Melbourne March, 2007 Abstract Three Microtonal Compositions: The Utilization of Tuning Systems in Modern Composition encompasses the work undertaken by Lou Harrison (widely regarded as one of America’s most influential and original composers) with regards to just intonation, and tuning and scale systems from around the globe – also taking into account the influential work of Alain Daniélou (Introduction to the Study of Musical Scales), Harry Partch (Genesis of a Music), and Ben Johnston (Scalar Order as a Compositional Resource). The essence of the project being to reveal the compositional applications of a selection of Persian, Indonesian, and Japanese musical scales utilized in three very distinct systems: theory versus performance practice and the ‘Scale of Fifths’, or cyclic division of the octave; the equally-tempered division of the octave; and the ‘Scale of Proportions’, or harmonic division of the octave championed by Harrison, among others – outlining their theoretical and aesthetic rationale, as well as their historical foundations. The project begins with the creation of three new microtonal works tailored to address some of the compositional issues of each system, and ending with an articulated exposition; obtained via the investigation of written sources, disclosure

  • 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.

Arthur fin-de-siècle : « Les temps sont accomplis des grandes aventures » Julien Schuh Dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle, les artistes français, contrairement à leurs homologues anglo-saxons, s’intéressent peu à la matière de Bretagne ; malgré leur attrait pour le Moyen Âge et l’art gothique1, les chevaliers de la Table Ronde ne font pas battre leur cœur. Il faut attendre les années 1860 pour voir la figure de Merlin reprendre de l’importance dans la littérature française, et les années 1890 pour que des auteurs, dans la lignée wagnérienne, tentent de présenter à travers Arthur et ses chevaliers l’exemple d’une communauté idéale. Plusieurs éléments permettent d’expliquer ce retour au mythe arthurien ; la fin de siècle, qui voit l’ébranlement des structures traditionnelles, la montée de l’irréligion, l’avancée du capitalisme et l’expansion du démocratisme, génère un sentiment de crise qui peut se résumer ainsi : l’Occident est devenu la Terre Gaste des légendes arthuriennes.

  • Draft 5 for Printing
    Jan Milí č of Kroměř íž and Emperor Charles IV: Preaching, Power, and the Church of Prague Eleanor Janega UCL Thesis Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 1 I, Eleanor Janega, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in my thesis. 2 Abstract During the second half of the fourteenth century Jan Milí č of Krom ěř íž became an active and popular preacher in Prague. The sermons which he delivered focused primarily on themes of reform, and called for a renewal within the church. Despite a sustained popularity with the lay populace of Prague, Milí č faced opposition to his practice from many individual members of the city’s clergy. Eventually he was the subject of twelve articles of accusation sent to the papal court of Avignon. Because of the hostility which Milí č faced, historians have most often written of him as a precursor to the Hussites. As a result he has been identified as an anti-establishment rabble-rouser and it has been assumed that he conducted his career in opposition to the court of the Emperor Charles IV. This thesis, over four body chapters, examines the careers of both Milí č and Charles and argues that instead of being enemies, the two men shared an amicable relationship. The first chapter examines Milí č’s career and will prove that he was well-connected to Charles and several members of his court. It will also examine the most common reasons given to argue that Charles and Milí č were at odds, and disprove them.

  • Diegeheimnissederformbeirich
    Intégral 30 (2016) pp. 81–98 Die Geheimnisse der Form bei Richard Wagner: Structure and Drama as Elements of Wagnerian Form* by Matthew Bribitzer-Stull Abstract. Wagnerian operatic forms span a continuum. At one end lie the delin- eated, non-developmental, “structural” kinds of shapes, at the other the “formless” streams of music that arguably depend on the extra-musical for their continuity and coherence. In between we find musical processes that embody more of a senseof motion and development than the fixed structures, but that cohere without the need of a text or programme. In this article I attempt to illustrate this range by applying my analytic methodology to two contrasting examples, one leaning heavily toward the structural (the Todesverkündigung scene from Die Walküre Act II, Scene 4) and the other (the Act II, Scene 2 love duet from Tristan und Isolde) best understood as a musi- cal representation of the drama. The overarching point I make with this comparison is that the range of Wagnerian formal techniques is best served by a flexible, multi- valent analytic orientation. Keywords and phrases: Wagner, opera, form, Alfred Lorenz, Tristan und Isolde, Der Ring des Nibelungen, Die Walküre. Introduction Lorenz’s study was the first serious attempt to present the formal process of the Wagnerian Musikdrama in a system- nyone familiar with Alfred Lorenz’s exhaustive analyses of Der Ring des Nibelungen, Tristan und Isolde, atic, analytic way, an argument against the then-prevalent A 1 Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, and Parsifal, published be- view that Wagner’s late music was formless.
