  • Michael Nyman
    Michael Nyman Michael Nyman es uno de los compositores británicos más innovadores y aclamados, cuyo trabajo abarca operas, cuartetos de cuerda, bandas sonoras y conciertos orquestales. Mucho más que un mero compositor, es además intérprete, director, pianista, escritor, musicólogo, fotógrafo y cineasta. Considerado como un “hombre del renacimiento”, su inquietud creativa y su polivalencia artística le han convertido en uno de los iconos culturales más fascinantes e influyentes de nuestro tiempo. Michael Nyman (nacido el 23 de marzo de 1944) es un pianista, musicólogo y compositor minimalista, conocido sobre todo por las obras escritas durante su larga colaboración con el cineasta británico Peter Greenaway . Nyman (que estudió con el académico Thurston Dart, experto en música barroca en el King's College de Londres) se ha inspirado frecuentemente en Música antigua en sus composiciones para los largometrajes de Greenaway: Henry Purcell en El contrato del dibujante y El cocinero, el Ladrón, su Esposa y su Amante, El piano , Heinrigh Ignaz Franz von Biber en Zoo (A Zed & Two Noughts), Mozart en Conspiración de mujeres (Drowning by Numbers) y John Dowland en Prospero's Books . Su popularidad se disparó después de componer la banda sonora de la galardonada película de Jane Campion El piano (1993). La película no fue nominada por la Academia a pesar de haberlo sido por la Academia Británica y para el Globo de Oro. Ha compuesto bandas sonoras para muchos otros filmes, la gran mayoría de ellos obras de autores independientes europeos. Sus pocas incursiones en la composición de bandas sonoras para Hollywood han sido Gattaca , Ravenous (con Damon Albarn) y The End of the Affair .

  • The Mexican Suitecase
    THE MEXICAN SUITECASE A film by Trisha Ziff Running Time: 86 Minutes Language: English, Spanish and Catalane dialogue with English and Spanish subtitles. Official website: www.TheMexicanSuitcase.com ABOUT THE FILM: THE MEXICAN SUITCASE tells the story of three lost boxes that were recovered by the film’s director, Trisha Ziff, from a closet in Mexico City in 2007. The boxes, misplaced in the chaos at the start of WWII, contained many of the Spanish Civil War negatives by the legendary photographer, Robert Capa. These boxes have become known as the Mexican Suitcase. Rumors had circulated for years of the survival of the negatives, which had disappeared from Capa's Paris studio at the start of the war. They held 126 rolls of film, not only by Capa, but also by Gerda Taro and David “Chim” Seymour, fellow photographers who were also acclaimed for their coverage Spanish Civil War. Capa, Taro and Seymour were Jewish immigrants from Hungary, Germany and Poland respectively, and they had found a home in the culturally open Paris of the early 1930s. They often traveled together in Spain. Their combined work constitutes some of the most important visual documentation of that war. It’s particularly poignant to note that Gerda Taro would die before her 27th birthday at the Battle of Brunette in Spain, killed when a Republican tank veered out of control. Her funeral bought thousands on to the streets of Paris. Exactly how the negatives reached Mexico City is not definitively known. However, given Mexico’s unique role in the war, and how it opened its doors unreservedly to the Republican exiles, it makes sense that the suitcase would find its way there.

  • Michael Nyman
    Michael Nyman Quan Michael Nyman va publicar, el 1974, el seu estudi Experimental Music. Cage and Beyond [Música Experimental. De Cage en endavant] difícilment hauria previst la seva pròpia contribució a aquest “en endavant”. Distanciat del que aleshores era l’ortodòxia del modernisme internacional, Nyman va abandonar la composició el 1964, preferint treballar com a musicòleg. Més endavant va escriure crítiques per a diferents diaris, incloent-hi The Spectator, on, en un escrit de 1968 sobre The Great Digest de Foto: Perou Cornelius Cardews, va utilitzar per primera vegada la paraula “minimalisme” aplicada a la música. El mateix any, un programa de la BBC sobre Come Out, de Steve Reich, va obrir les seves orelles a noves possibilitats. Era l’inici de la seva activitat com a compositor. El 1968 va posar música al llibret de Down by the Greenwood Side, de Harrison Birtwistle. Més tard, Birtwistle li va encarregar els arranjaments de cançons venecianes del segle XVIII per a una producció del 1976 de Il Campiello de Carlo Goldoni, per a la qual Nyman va reunir el que ell mateix va descriure com “la banda de carrer sense amplificar més sorollosa” que es pogués imaginar. Nyman va conservar reunida la Campiello Band, afegint-se ell mateix al piano. Una banda necessita repertori, i Nyman va començar a proveir- se’n, començant per In Re Don Giovanni, un tractament característic de 16 compassos de Mozart. Després d’alguns canvis, la banda va incorporar amplificació i va passar a dir-se Michael Nyman Band. Aquest és el laboratori on Nyman ha formulat el seu estil de composició, basat en melodies consistents, ritmes flexibles però contundents i una manera de tocar articulada amb precisió.

  • Michael Nyman [ Pass out Handout ] • Many of You Probably Have Heard
    Michael Nyman [ pass out handout ] • Many of you probably have heard or are familiar with Nyman's music, perhaps even without realizing it, since Nyman has composed many soundtracks and music used in film and television; probably the most famous example is the 1993 film The Piano, although we're not going to discuss that work since it is a bit overplayed. Let me just first say that Nyman considers himself a "post-minimalist" composer (as you can see at the bottom of the handout), so let's prime our musical ears for these post-minimalist traits. • the reason I got interested in Nyman was through a soundtrack to an earlier film, The Draughtman's Contract, directed by Peter Greenaway. Nyman has worked on a lot of Greenaway films over the years, although their relationship kind of dissolved around 1991. • Anyway, I heard the piece "Chasing sheep is best left to shepards" on WNYC a couple years ago and really took a liking to it. So before we talk about Nyman, his music, his biography, etc., I thought we could listen to this piece first to get some sort of musical compass and context in which to orient this talk. There is no score for this work in the library, but I will do a quick rough transcription of the harmonies on the board as it is being played. [ play track 1: "chasing sheep is best left to shepards" ] • The harmonic progression is this piece supposedly derives from a piece by Purcell. I can't say exactly which piece, but I think we can all agree the progression sounds like it could be from the Baroque era.

  • Rethinking Minimalism: at the Intersection of Music Theory and Art Criticism
    Rethinking Minimalism: At the Intersection of Music Theory and Art Criticism Peter Shelley A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee Jonathan Bernard, Chair Áine Heneghan Judy Tsou Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music Theory ©Copyright 2013 Peter Shelley University of Washington Abstract Rethinking Minimalism: At the Intersection of Music Theory and Art Criticism Peter James Shelley Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Jonathan Bernard Music Theory By now most scholars are fairly sure of what minimalism is. Even if they may be reluctant to offer a precise theory, and even if they may distrust canon formation, members of the informed public have a clear idea of who the central canonical minimalist composers were or are. Sitting front and center are always four white male Americans: La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass. This dissertation negotiates with this received wisdom, challenging the stylistic coherence among these composers implied by the term minimalism and scrutinizing the presumed neutrality of their music. This dissertation is based in the acceptance of the aesthetic similarities between minimalist sculpture and music. Michael Fried’s essay “Art and Objecthood,” which occupies a central role in the history of minimalist sculptural criticism, serves as the point of departure for three excursions into minimalist music. The first excursion deals with the question of time in minimalism, arguing that, contrary to received wisdom, minimalist music is not always well understood as static or, in Jonathan Kramer’s terminology, vertical. The second excursion addresses anthropomorphism in minimalist music, borrowing from Fried’s concept of (bodily) presence.
