  • Claude Debussy in 2018: a Centenary Celebration Abstracts and Biographies
    19-23/03/18 CLAUDE DEBUSSY IN 2018: A CENTENARY CELEBRATION ABSTRACTS AND BIOGRAPHIES Claude Debussy in 2018: A Centenary Celebration Abstracts and Biographies I. Debussy Perspectives, 1918-2018 RNCM, Manchester Monday, 19 March Paper session A: Debussy’s Style in History, Conference Room, 2.00-5.00 Chair: Marianne Wheeldon 2.00-2.30 – Mark DeVoto (Tufts University), ‘Debussy’s Evolving Style and Technique in Rodrigue et Chimène’ Claude Debussy’s Rodrigue et Chimène, on which he worked for two years in 1891-92 before abandoning it, is the most extensive of more than a dozen unfinished operatic projects that occupied him during his lifetime. It can also be regarded as a Franco-Wagnerian opera in the same tradition as Lalo’s Le Roi d’Ys (1888), Chabrier’s Gwendoline (1886), d’Indy’s Fervaal (1895), and Chausson’s Le Roi Arthus (1895), representing part of the absorption of the younger generation of French composers in Wagner’s operatic ideals, harmonic idiom, and quasi-medieval myth; yet this kinship, more than the weaknesses of Catulle Mendès’s libretto, may be the real reason that Debussy cast Rodrigue aside, recognising it as a necessary exercise to be discarded before he could find his own operatic voice (as he soon did in Pelléas et Mélisande, beginning in 1893). The sketches for Rodrigue et Chimène shed considerable light on the evolution of Debussy’s technique in dramatic construction as well as his idiosyncratic approach to tonal form. Even in its unfinished state — comprising three out of a projected four acts — the opera represents an impressive transitional stage between the Fantaisie for piano and orchestra (1890) and the full emergence of his genius, beginning with the String Quartet (1893) and the Prélude à l’Après-midi d’un faune (1894).

    JOURNAL OF RESEARCH ONLINE MusicA JOURNAL OF THE MUSIC COUNCIL OF AUSTRALIA ‘Jangling in symmetrical sounds’: Maurice Ravel as storyteller and poet aurice Ravel’s perception of language was defined by his métier. He thought EMILY KILPATRICK about words as a composer, understanding them in terms of their rhythms and Mresonances in the ear. He could recognise the swing of a perfectly balanced phrase, the slight changes of inflection that affect sense and emphasis, and the rhythm ■ Elder Conservatorium and melody inherent in spoken language. Ravel’s letters, his critical writings, his vocal of Music music and, most strikingly, his poetry, reveal his undeniable talent for literary expression. University of Adelaide He had a pronounced taste for onomatopoeia and seemed to delight in the dextrous South Australia 5005 juggling of rhymes and rhythms. As this paper explores, these qualities are particularly Australia apparent in the little song Noël des jouets (1905) and the choral Trois chansons pour chœur mixte sans accompagnement (1915) for which Ravel wrote his own texts, together Email: emily.kilpatrick with his collaboration with Colette on the opera L’Enfant et les sortilèges (1925). @adelaide.edu.au The common thread of fantasy and fairytale that runs through these three works suggests that through his expressive use of language Ravel was deliberately aligning his music with the traditions of storytelling, a genre defined by the sounds of the spoken word. Fairytales usually employ elegant and beautiful formal language that is direct, expressive and naturally musical, as typified in the memorable phrases‘Once upon a time…’ and ‘… happily ever after’.

  • Trois Chansons and World War I. (2014) Directed by Dr
    JACKSON, AARON RONALD, D.M.A. Maurice Ravel: Trois Chansons and World War I. (2014) Directed by Dr. Welborn E. Young. 62pp. Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) began writing Trois Chansons in November of 1914 and completed it in February of the following year. Durand Musical Editions published the composition in 1916. The Bathori-Engel Chorus, conducted by Louis Aubert, gave the premiere in October 1917. The compositional time frame coincides with Ravel’s numerous attempts to volunteer for military service at the onset of World War I (WWI) and his eventual enlistment in March of 1916. By all accounts, Trois Chansons is a unique addition to Ravel’s compositional oeuvre. Except for this work, Ravel wrote almost exclusively for instrumental genres; this composition is his only a cappella choral contribution. Additionally, the texts of each chanson are by the composer. The purpose of this document is to demonstrate that Trois Chansons represents a level of involvement in WWI through composition and contains Ravel’s both explicit and implicit commentary on WWI. This research encompasses general information about Chansons and commentary on Ravel’s attempts to enlist in the Armée de Terre. Also included are summaries of Ravel’s compositional components including text, genre, and personal dedications. Furthermore, this document outlines specific compositional devices utilized in Trois Chansons and includes representative musical analysis. Finally, through both compositional components and devices, this study suggests aspects of Ravel’s personal commentary on WWI. This document concludes with suggestions for further research on Trois Chansons. In addition to a compiled bibliography, appendices containing Ravel’s original poetry for Trois Chansons and conductor’s analysis pertaining to each chanson accompany the main body of research.

  • Narrative Expansion in the Trois Chansons De Bilitis
    Debussy as Storyteller: Narrative Expansion In the Trois Chansons de Bilitis William Gibbons Every song cycle presents its audience with a narrative. Such an idea is hardly new; indeed, the idea of an unfolding plot or unifying concept (textual or musical) is central to the concept of the song cycle as opposed to a collection of songs, at least after the mid-nineteenth century.l A great deal of musico­ logical literature devoted to song cycles is aimed at demonstrating that they are cohesive wholes, often connected both musically, by means of key relationships, motivic recall, and similar techniques, and textually, by means of the creation of an overarching plot or concept.2 One type of narrative results from a poetic unit being set to music in its complete state, without alteration. I am interested here, however, in another type of narrative-one that unfolds when a composer chooses to link previously unrelated poems musically, or when a poetic cycle is altered by rearrangement of the songs or omission of one or more poems. This type of song cycle may create its own new narrative, distinct from its literary precursors. In an effort to demonstrate the internally cohesive qualities of these song cycles, typical analyses assume that the narrative is contained entirely within the musical cycle itself-that is, that it makes no external references. I do not mean to disparage this type of analysis, which often yields insight­ ful results; however, this approach ignores the audience's ability to make intertextual connections beyond the bounds of the song cycle at hand.

    O Trio para piano, violino e violoncelo de Maurice Ravel a partir da análise do autor Danieli Verônica Longo Benedetti (UNICSUL) Resumo: O presente artigo discorre sobre o Trio para piano, violino e violoncelo escrito pelo compositor francês Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) às vésperas da Primeira Guerra Mundial, constituindo-se em obra de referência do movimento nacionalista francês. A partir de uma leitura atenta do manuscrito da análise da obra pelo próprio autor o artigo elucida alguns procedimentos composicionais ali adotados. Palavras-chave: Ravel; nacionalismo; análise; trio para piano. Abstract: This article concerns the Trio for piano, violin and cello by the French composer Maurice Ravel (1875-1937). Written right before the First World War, this is a reference work of the French nationalist movement. A careful reading of a manuscript containing the analysis of this work by Ravel himself sheds light on some of his compositional procedures. Keywords: Ravel; nationalism; analysis; piano trio.

Apesar das dificuldades vividas durante esse período – fragilidade física e psicológica, dificuldades materiais, O 1 insistente percurso para ser aceito às armas, morte dos amigos e da mãe – Ravel encontraria vitalidade para a composição do Trio para piano, violino e violoncelo, da letra e música das Trois Chansons para coro misto sem acompanhamento e da suíte para piano solo Le Tombeau de Couperin, aos moldes da suíte francesa do século XVIII.2 Tal produção confirmaria, assim como a de seus contemporâneos, o envolvimento estético com o movimento nacionalista, no qual podemos observar uma comunhão dos procedimentos de composição adotados.

  • CHANSONS DE BILITIS Pierre Louÿs
    CHANSONS DE BILITIS Pierre Louÿs 1. La flûte de Pan Pour le jour des Hyacinthies, il m'a donné une syrinx faite de roseaux bien taillés, unis avec la blanche cire qui est douce à mes lèvres comme le miel. Il m'apprend à jouer, assise sur ses genoux ; mais je suis un peu tremblante. il en joue après moi, si doucement que je l'entends à peine. Nous n'avons rien à nous dire, tant nous sommes près l'un de l'autre; mais nos chansons veulent se répondre, et tour à tour nos bouches s'unissent sur la flûte. Il est tard, voici le chant des grenouilles vertes qui commence avec la nuit. Ma mère ne croira jamais que je suis restée si longtemps à chercher ma ceinture perdue. 1 95678 Debussy 2. La chevelure Il m'a dit: « Cette nuit, j'ai rêvé. J'avais ta chevelure autour de mon cou. J'avais tes cheveux comme un collier noir autour de ma nuque et sur ma poitrine. « Je les caressais, et c'étaient les miens ; et nous étions liés pour toujours ainsi, par la même chevelure, la bouche sur la bouche, ainsi que deux lauriers n'ont souvent qu'une racine. « Et peu à peu, il m'a semblé, tant nos membres étaient confondus, que je devenais toi-même, ou que tu entrais en moi comme mon songe. » Quand il eut achevé, il mit doucement ses mains sur mes épaules, et il me regarda d'un regard si tendre, que je baissai les yeux avec un frisson.

Debussy, letter to Pierre Louÿs SCOTTISCH MUSIC REVIEW SCOTTISCH As is well known, Debussy significantly altered his approach to song composition around the years 1890– 91. While he had been writing mélodies more or less continuously since his earliest student days, up to this point he had tended to set texts either singly or in various different groupings – as in, for example, the six Ariettes, paysages belges et aquarelles of 1888 (later revised as Ariettes oubliées, 1903), and the Cinq poèmes de Charles Baudelaire of 1887–89. Starting from around 1890, he was to conceive and present the vast majority of his mélodies in sets of three, often titled as such – as in one of the first,Trois mélodies de Paul Verlaine (composed 1891, published 1901) and the last, Trois poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé (1913).
