Kolloquium 6 Sprachkomposition in Der Neuen Musik Seit 1945 Was
1 --=----~-- - - -- - 1 Kolloquium 6 Sprachkomposition in der Neuen Musik seit 1945 Rudolf Stephan Was bedeutet der Verzicht auf fixierte Tonhöhen? Überlegungen zur Situation der Sprachkomposition Der Titel dieses Kolloquiums, «Sprachkomposition in der Neuen Musik seit 1945», könnte den Eindruck erwecken, als markiere das genannte Jahr eine Zäsur in der Musikgeschichte, oder doch wenigstens in der Ent- wicklung des angesprochenen Problems. Dies ist jedoch nicht der Fall. Die serielle Musik, die doch die erste wirklich neue in der Zeit nach dem Kriege war, entstand erst um (vornehmlich nach) 1950, die Vokalwerke, deren Sprachbehandlung Veranlassung gegeben hat (und noch immer gibt) sie als neuartig zu betrachten, wurden erst in den Fünfzigerjahren geschaffen. Karlheinz Stockhausen begann denn auch seine vergleichende Betrachtung dreier einschlägiger Werke, die er unter dem Titel «Sprache und Musik» (zuerst) in den Darmstädter Beiträgen zur neuen Musik (1, 1958, S. 57-81) erscheinen ließ mit einem Hinweis auf die Urauffilhrungsdaten der drei besprochenen Werke: 1955/56. Gegenstand der Betrachtung waren die Werke Le marteau sans maitre von Pierre Boulez, II canto sospeso von Luigi Nono und der eigene Gesang der Jünglinge. Diese Werke sind, ebenso wie der genannte, vielfach nachgedruckte Aufsatz Stockhausens (z.B. in: Die Reihe 6, 1960, S. 36-58, abweichend in Karlheinz Stockhausen: Texte, 2, 1964), als Dokumente einer bestimmten Phase der Musikentwicklung (und der zugehörigen Überlegungen) allbekannt.

Developing Sound Spatialization Tools for Musical Applications with Emphasis on Sweet Spot and Off-Center Perception
Sweet [re]production: Developing sound spatialization tools for musical applications with emphasis on sweet spot and off-center perception Nils Peters Music Technology Area Department of Music Research Schulich School of Music McGill University Montreal, QC, Canada October 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. c 2010 Nils Peters 2010/10/26 i Abstract This dissertation investigates spatial sound production and reproduction technology as a mediator between music creator and listener. Listening experiments investigate the per- ception of spatialized music as a function of the listening position in surround-sound loud- speaker setups. Over the last 50 years, many spatial sound rendering applications have been developed and proposed to artists. Unfortunately, the literature suggests that artists hardly exploit the possibilities offered by novel spatial sound technologies. Another typical drawback of many sound rendering techniques in the context of larger audiences is that most listeners perceive a degraded sound image: spatial sound reproduction is best at a particular listening position, also known as the sweet spot. Structured in three parts, this dissertation systematically investigates both problems with the objective of making spatial audio technology more applicable for artistic purposes and proposing technical solutions for spatial sound reproductions for larger audiences. The first part investigates the relationship between composers and spatial audio tech- nology through a survey on the compositional use of spatialization, seeking to understand how composers use spatialization, what spatial aspects are essential and what functionali- ties spatial audio systems should strive to include. The second part describes the development process of spatializaton tools for musical applications and presents a technical concept. -

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. -

The Negation of a Negation Fixed in a Form
Cultural Studies Review volume 11 number 2 September 2005 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/index.php/csrj/index pp. 95–109 Timothy S Murphy 2005 The Negation of a Negation Fixed in a Form Luigi Nono and the Italian Counter-culture 1964–1979 TIMOTHY S MURPHY UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA At the outset of this discussion I would like to propose a definition or two that will hold throughout it. First, I would like to define the term ‘counter-culture’, which appears in my title, as the organised and self-conscious articulation of an alternative to hegemonic capitalist culture—alternative in terms of values, institutions and sign systems. Second, I would like to define the date ‘1968’ as the historical moment at which various nationally specific counter- cultures actually coalesced, despite the fact that these counter-cultures were often composed of individual elements that predate 1968. Thus I am defining the two terms reciprocally: a counter- culture is that alternative framework that emerges when a confluence of quantitative changes (in labour conditions, educational access or values, tolerance of ethnic/gender/cultural differences, and so on) crosses a threshold and produces a qualitative shift in consciousness, critique and creativity, and 1968 marks the various ways that threshold was crossed in the USA, Europe and elsewhere. From this viewpoint, for example, the American ’68 marked the emergence of a counter-culture defined by a relatively fleeting politicisation of students and a temporary cultural alliance between students and people of colour, while the French ’68 gave rise to a counter-culture characterised by a similarly fleeting political alliance of students and factory workers. -

Genesi Ed Estetica Del Suono Nel Prometeo Di Luigi Nono
Simone Broglia “Vibrano intese segrete”. Genesi ed estetica del suono nel Prometeo di Luigi Nono. Il Prometeo rappresenta per Nono il raggiungimento di un’idea: l’opera in funzione dell’ascolto. Arriva quasi al termine della carriera del compositore, segnando così il picco massimo di una ricerca tanto profonda da non riuscire ancora ad ammettere sintesi, ma solo l’unione più o meno organica e vitale di diverse parti che vanno a formare il corpo di un gigante. La sintesi arriverà dopo Prometeo, con la maturità di un’esperienza tanto complessa che gli permetterà di lavorare in formazioni più agili e progetti meno dispendiosi. Prometeo è un’opera del 1984, la cui idea nasce però anni prima con Io, frammento da Prometeo del 1981 e che si farà carico di portare con sé i vari campi della ricerca noniana. Quella di un nuovo teatro musicale, che parte con Intolleranza 1960 e si sviluppa con Al gran sole carico d’amore e che ha l’intento primario di cercare un maggiore coinvolgimento sinestetico attraverso il dislocamento spaziale della scena. La ricerca sulla dimensione elettroacustica, che passa dalla fissità del nastro magnetico suonato con lo strumento dal vivo alla continua capacità di dialogo rigenerante del live electronic e del calcolatore 4i; la ricerca compositiva sulle prassi esecutive e i microintervalli. A questo lavoro di carattere estetico si deve sommare però, come spesso avviene in Nono, una necessità etica: portare in primo piano l’ascolto vuol dire sviluppare una modalità sovversiva rispetto al sistema egemone di trasmissione acustica, estetica e culturale. Ecco allora che, se Venezia diventa la similitudine primaria di un ascolto contrario alla monodirezionalità, il coinvolgimento del giovane architetto Renzo Piano diventa essenziale per la progettazione di uno spazio in grado di ricreare un multiverso sonoro. -
On Luigi Nono's Political Thought
On Luigi Nono’s Political Thought: Emancipation Struggles, Socialist Hegemony and the Ethic Behind the Composition of Für Paul Dessau LUIS VELASCO-PUFLEAU Abstract The musical activism of the Italian composer Luigi Nono (1924–1990) is one of the most fascinating examples of the relationship between music and politics in the second half of the twentieth century. A member of the Italian Communist Party (PCI) from 1952, he considered music as a tool for the establishment of socialist hegemony. In this article, I first examine how concepts from Antonio Gramsci underlie Nono’s political thought, the relationship between his conception of social justice struggles and violence, and the ethic behind his compositional practice. Secondly, I analyze how Nono addressed his political and ethical commitment in his last work for magnetic tape, Für Paul Dessau (1974). This article aims to contribute to the discussion on Nono’s appropriation of Gramsci’s ideas, shedding light on how Nono addressed the memory of antifascism, Cold War politics, and Third World international liberation struggles in works from the 1950s to the early 1970s. Introduction In 1971 the Italian composer Luigi Nono (1924–1990) described himself as an “activist-musician not above but within the class struggle as it exists.”1 This idea refers to one of Nono’s biggest concerns: how to reconcile in a coherent manner his artistic activity as a composer with his political commitment and the role he granted himself in the transformation of society. As Nono asserted in 1969, for him there -
