    МUSIC SUMMER FESTIVALS AS PROMOTERS OF THE SPA CULTURAL TOURISM: FESTIVAL OF CLASSICAL MUSIC VRNJCI Smiljka Isaković1, Jelena Borović-Dimić2 Abstract This paper is dedicated to the music summer festivals, a hallmark of the local community and the holder of the economic development of the region and the society, from ancient times to the present day. Special emphasis is placed on the International Festival of classical music "Vrnjci", held in Belimarković mansion in July, organized by the Homeland Мuseum – Castle of Culture of Vrnjaĉka Banja. A dramatic development of high technologies brought forth a new era based on conceptual creativity. Leisure time is prolonged, while tourism as one of the activities of spending leisure time is changing from passive to active. The cultural sector is becoming an important partner in the economic development of countries and cultural tourism is gaining in importance. Festival tourism in this country must be supported by the wider community and the state because the quality of cultural events makes us an equal competitor on the global tourism market. Keywords: cultural tourism, festivals, art, music, local self governments. Cultural Tourism The middle of the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries can be called the period of tourism, since Stendhal popularized this term in France with his book "Memoirs of a tourist" (1838) and Englishman Thomas Cook opened his travel agency in 1841. Modern tourism experienced its first expansion between 1850 and 1870, enabled by the major railways networking in Europe

In pre- senting this event it has been my honor to work closely with Jason Vieaux, 2015 Grammy Award Winner and Cleveland Institute of Music Guitar Department Head; Colin Davin, recently appointed to the Cleveland Institute of Music’s Conservatory Guitar Faculty; and Tom Poore, a highly devoted guitar teacher and superb writer. Our reasons for presenting this Festival are fivefold: (1) to help increase the awareness and respect due artists whose exemplary work has enhanced our lives and the lives of others; (2) to entertain; (3) to educate; (4) to encourage deeper thought and discussion about how we listen to, perform, and evaluate fine music; and, most important, (5) to help facilitate heightened moments of human awareness. In our experience participation in the live performance of fine music is potentially one of the highest social ends towards which we can aspire as performers, music students, and audience members. For it is in live, heightened moments of musical magic—when time stops and egos dissolve—that often we are made most conscious of our shared humanity. Armin Kelly, Founder and Artistic Director Cleveland International Classical Guitar Festival Acknowledgements We wish to thank the following for their generous support of this event: The Cleveland Institute of Music: Gary Hanson, Interim President; Lori Wright, Director, Concerts and Events; Marjorie Gold, Concert Production Manager; Gina Rendall, Concert Facilities Coordinator; Susan Iler, Director of Marketing and Communications; Lynn M.

  • The Solo Classical Guitar Concerto
    The solo classical guitar concerto: A soloist’s preparatory guide to selected works by Josina Nina Fourie-Gouws © University of Pretoria The solo classical guitar concerto: A soloist’s preparatory guide to selected works by Josina Nina Fourie-Gouws A mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Music (Performing Art) Department of Music Faculty of Humanities University of Pretoria Supervisor: Professor Wessel van Wyk Co-supervisor: Abri Jordaan September 2017 © University of Pretoria ABSTRACT The study addresses the preparatory information needs of potential performers of solo classical guitar concerti. Identifying a range of specific decisions that play an important part in the pre-performance planning of an anticipated concerto performance provides performance considerations for each selected concerto. The content of six solo classical guitar concerti spanning almost 180 years by six composers from four countries was analysed for the purpose of this study. Two early guitar concerti by guitarist composers Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) and Ferdinando Carulli (1770-1841), two modern concerti by non-guitarist composers Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) and Joaquín Rodrigo (1901-1999) and two modern concerti by guitarist composers Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) and Leo Brouwer (b.1939) were investigated. The study examines specific compositional and performance aspects of each concerto to serve as a guideline for professional performers, students and teachers. Each concerto was analysed according to similar themes: the historical significance of the investigated concerti, pre-performance considerations, the level of difficulty of selected concerti, technical observations, performance recommendations and observations regarding balance between the soloist and orchestra.

  • Preservation and Study of Historical Guitars Museu De La Musica, Catalunya : Methodology Proposal to Play the Unplayable
    Preservation and Study of Historical Guitars Museu de la Musica, Catalunya : Methodology Proposal to Play the Unplayable Toros Ufuk Senan MASTER THESIS UPF / 2014 Master in Sound and Music Computing Master Thesis Supervisor: Enric Guaus, Paul Poletti Department of Information and Communication Technologies Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona ii Preservation and Study of Historical Guitars Museum de la Musica : Methodology Proposal to Play the Unplayable Toros Ufuk Senan Philips Electronic Nederlands High Tech Campus 36, p.118 5656 HA Eindhoven, Netherlands Master's thesis Abstract WoodMusick project is a multi-disciplinary COST action research project. The main goal of the project is to study museum instruments and preserve their physical and acoustical properties. This paper aims to contribute the project by studying historical guitars in Museu de la Musica, Catalunya, as well as to propose a global measurement methodology for prediction of acoustical properties of guitars during the design stage. Two historical classical guitars, Torres 625 from Antonio de Torres and Labrador from romantic period are studied, in addition to a test guitar. Steady-state and impulse responses are recorded and spectral and physical properties are extracted from recordings. The results are classified with WEKA by ESSENTIA descriptors and two guitars are succefully identified and distinguished from each other. Extracted features and physical properties are observed in the latter stage and sound feature estimations are proposed.Besides the multi disciplinary nature of the study is already a challenging task, the main obstacle turned out to be to build a methodology that ensures safety of the instrument while collecting the necessary data.

  • A Comprehensive Guitar Series
    Bridges TM A Comprehensive Guitar Series “This new edition, in my opinion, is very close to being THE definitive word on classical guitar instruction – period.” Patrick Kearney, international concert artist and professor of classical guitar at Vanier College and Concordia University Bridges TM Introduction Bridges™ is the fourth edition of the renowned Guitar Series, originally published in 1989 to international acclaim. This edition aims to provide students with a clear, well-paced route for their musical development; to nurture the technique necessary to successfully meet those developmental challenges; and to expose students to the full range of the instrument’s repertoire. The chosen repertoire and studies at any given level fall within a carefully sequenced range of technical and musical difficulty. From the late elementary to early advanced levels students can be assured that their learning path will be well rounded and complete. Some of the most notable features of Bridges™ are: the inclusion of guitar masterpieces by such beloved guitar composers as Agustín Barrios, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and Leo Brouwer minimal fingering suggestions, leaving teachers more flexibility and a clearer score from which to work a balance of style choices for repertoire and studies in all levels The well-rounded guitarist will have an understanding of the instrument’s history as well as practical experience with a wide range of repertoire from all historical periods and styles. Guided by this principle, the series editors have drawn on more than 500 years’ worth of guitar and lute music. Each book features compositions from the Renaissance to the present day; by learning music from each style period, students will gain a comprehensive overview of the evolution of musical styles.
