His extensive catalogue also includes important commissions and has been distinguished with many international prizes. In his compositions, he focuses on a wide palette of musical idioms that extend from classical and contemporary European music to influences from the areas of free jazz and rock music. Born in 1963, he studied composition from 1985 to 1992 with Prof. Bertold Hummel and with Prof. Heinz Winbeck at the Hochschule for Music in Würzburg; he completed his studies there with the Masterclass Diploma in 1994. In 1996, Schneid was composer in residence at Manchester University where performances of his works met with excited interest. Since 1997 he holds a teaching position in the department of music theory at the Hochschule for Music in Würzburg. Today, Tobias PM Schneid lives with his family in Neuburg/Donau and dedicates himself primarily to composing. Besides exploring the possibilities of serial, electronic and free tonal techniques, his analyses of Boulez and Ligeti, as well as the music of Gustav Mahler and Maurice Ravel, have importantly influenced his approach to musical parameters. Schneid is also intensely engaged with contemporary literature. His preferences here lean in particular toward Thomas Bernhard and Samuel Beckett, but also to works by Friedrich Hölderlin and Walter Benjamin. The orchestral work Einklang Op. 1 from 1989/91 (rev. 2004) may be seen as a kind of summation of the early years, while the much admired music theater piece Swin Swin (1996/97) introduced a new creative phase. His involvement with contemporary English music and contact with important British and Danish composers and musicians continue to be important sources of inspiration. Schneid works with the leading orchestras of Europe, including, for example, the BBC Symphony Orchestra London, the radio orchestras of BR, SWR, SR and WDR, the DSO Berlin, as well as the Munich Chamber Orchestra and the Musikfabrik NRW. Among the important conductors, who performed his music, are Sylvain Cambreling, Dennis Russell Davies, Johannes Kalitzcke, Brad Lubman, Andris Nelsons and Peter Rundel. The soloists for whom Schneid has composed include Jörg Widmann, Alban Gerhardt, Carin Levine, Siegfried Palm and Stefan Schilli. Schneid composed the music for the new ballet production The Picture of Dorian Gray. The premiere took place at the Augsburg Theater in December 2013. His new saxophone concerto astral voyager, which he composed for the soloist Jan Schulte-Bunert commissioned by the New Westphalian Philharmonic, is being premiered in January 2014.

It is not a clearly defined event with formal conditions: it could lead to a wide range of possible outcomes and feelings in the listener. The bardic tradition that sweeps across human cultures and histories — from the Homeric ESSAY epics to the Sufis, from the biwa hoshi of Japan to the filí of Ireland — shows both the depth and breadth of the human impulse to hear verse aloud. But in our cosmopolitan present, poetry being “voiced” could run the gamut from adolescent (painful sincerity at an open mic) to adult (earnest readings at university book launches) to transhuman (Black Thought’s ten-minute freestyle). Though poetry always transports us somewhere, the destination could be anywhere in Dante’s universe: infernal, purgatorial, or paradisiacal. This particular poetry performance is, perhaps fittingly for the year 2020, set in that everyday limbo that is the cinema. It is consciously conceived for the large-scale screen — a crucial gesture, when so much life is being lived on small screens — and as a physical, collective experience, with an audience in plush CONTENTS BACK TO seats, bathed in light, feeling the powerful surround-sound system within their bodies.

  • Regard Et Prédation Dans Film De Samuel Beckett De La Fable À La Structure Llewellyn Brown
    Document generated on 10/02/2021 3:45 a.m. Études françaises Regard et prédation dans Film de Samuel Beckett De la fable à la structure Llewellyn Brown Le regard et la proie Article abstract Volume 54, Number 2, 2018 If the problematic of the gaze is capital in Beckett’s work, it is in his only film – with its rhematic title – that it becomes the thrust of a pursuit. In discovering a URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1050587ar new medium, he resumes an earlier setup involving the representation of DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1050587ar “traversable space:” that of the quest. The recourse to the famous actor Buster Keaton is part of this choice that makes of the film a fable. If a “theoretical” See table of contents (Berkeley) background is exploited by Beckett, the gaze is read here as an object, as theorized by Lacan, who contends that each one is subjected to an all-seeing gaze, before being constituted as a subject. Beckett considers the camera as a penetrating and impersonal agent. In Film, we see the reality constituted by the Publisher(s) imaginary give way to the intrusion of this gaze. In the absence of an original Les Presses de l’Université de Montréal assent of the Other, the Beckettian subject remains irremediably split, a fact that allows, in this film, to make the gaze a “character” in its own right: the Eye of the camera, which pursues the character, called Object (O). The former is subjectivity ISSN devoid of visible form, the latter is visibility devoid of interiority.

The imposing amounts of critical material bear witness to the richness of his writings, which present a wealth of themes and techniques. His plays concentrate for us the problem-themes that already concerned him in his earlier prose works, and bring them to the stage in a more streamlined form. The essential problem which evolves from Beckett's own earlier writings comes to the fore, downstage, in the plays: it is that of being in time, a purgatorial state, the lot of mankind and of Beckett's characters, who are representative of mankind.

  • A Predominant Trend in the History of Computer Music Has Been the Attempt to Make “Better” Sounds
    A predominant trend in the history of computer music has been the attempt to make “better” sounds. Nowadays, we can produce computer-generated sounds that are both very beautiful and very realistic. Because of this, we frequently listen to early pieces in the repertoire and find ourselves making excuses for the way the music sounds: “Well, of course, that was the best they could do with the technology they had back then.” Thus, an unfortunate side effect of the improvement of technology is that a lot of those early works now sound dated. One of the most amazing things about Charles Dodge’s Cascando, completed in 1977, is that it sounds as fresh, relevant, and “right” as if it had been written yesterday. Cascando is based on Samuel Beckett’s mysterious 1963 radio play of the same name. Originally written in French, with music by the composer Marcel Mihalovici, it was later translated by the author into English. The three characters of the play are Opener, Voice, and Music. Opener acts as a kind of “voice-over,” a master of ceremonies; he “opens” and “closes” the statements of the other characters, sometimes interrupting them. He is authoritative, masterful (Beckett characterizes him as “dry as dust”), but as the play proceeds, he reveals more than a touch of paranoia, talking about what “they” say about him, how “they” claim that he opens nothing, how “they” do not see him. The character of Voice is very different (“low, panting”). Desperately, he is trying to tell a story. He speaks in short fragments, his anxiety palpable.

Azevedo 2 Revista sala preta | Vol. 19 | n. 2 | 2019 Editorial Não sendo resultado de uma convocatória temática, este número de Sala Preta é composto de pesquisas e reflexões enviadas espontaneamen- te a publicação. Num ano em que a produção científica e cultural no país foi prejudicada por cortes de verbas e policiamentos regressivos de toda ordem, em que o imaginário nazista frequentou as declarações do primeiro escalão do governo federal – como uma espécie de teste dos limites do hor- ror na esfera pública –, a produção de conhecimento seguiu dentro de suas possibilidades num país em que a violência dos tratos se tornou a regra, mesmo em setores que outrora disfarçavam as práticas mercantis de anu- lação do outro por meio de um idealismo letrado. Diante disso, devem ser comemorados os estudos que persistem orientados por um sentido de ver- dade, em relação honesta e sincera com os objetos de pesquisa, por mais específicos que sejam. Os artigos aqui reunidos, assim, em contraste com os desastres da cultura oficial do país, apenas por manifestarem interesse nas diferenças, traduzem inconformismos variados. O número conta ainda com a colaboração de professores estrangeiros, como Cláudia Madeira e Fernando Matos Oliveira, da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal, e Gabriele Klein, da Universidade de Hamburgo, Alemanha. A carta inédita do dramatur- go francês Jean-Pierre Sarrazac, que abre o número, ainda que escrita em 2014, dialoga diretamente com as dificuldades da dramaturgia crítica atual.

  • Beckett, Music, Intermediality John Tilbury’S Worstward Ho
    Samuel Beckett Today / Aujourd’hui 32 (2020) 116–128 brill.com/sbt Beckett, Music, Intermediality John Tilbury’s Worstward Ho Catherine Laws Department of Music, University of York, York, UK catherine.laws@york.ac.uk Abstract The topic of ‘Beckett and music’ has gained considerable attention in recent years. In previous work I have argued that music in Beckett’s plays does not, as some have sug- gested, exist beyond or exceed the ambiguities of body, knowledge and subjectivity that are apparent in other aspects of his work, but rather that its use parallels and rein- forces these processes. If this kind of intermediality, involving music, operates already in some of Beckett’s work, how does it manifest when musicians work with or in rela- tion to it? This question is addressed through a discussion of John Tilbury’s version of Worstward Ho, for piano, recorded voice and electronics. Résumé Le thème de ‘Beckett et la musique’ a fait l’objet d’une attention considérable ces der- nières années. Dans des travaux précédents, j’ai soutenu que—contrairement à ce que certains l’ont suggéré—la musique dans les pièces de Beckett n’existe pas au-delà des ambiguïtés liées au corps, la connaissance et la subjectivité qui dominent d’autres aspects de son travail, mais plutôt que l’utilisation de la musique opère en parallèle et renforce ces ambiguïtés. Si ce genre d’intermédialité, impliquant la musique, est déjà à l’œuvre dans certains textes de Beckett, comment se manifeste-t-il lorsque des musi- ciens travaillent avec ou en relation avec elle? Cette question est abordée ici à travers une discussion de la version de Worstward Ho que John Tilbury a conçue pour piano, voix enregistrée et électronique.

    MARIA HELENA SERÔDIO Staging Voices1 1. Three of Beckett’s plays are carefully named according to the medium they were written for: Words and Music (1962) for the radio, Play (1963) for the stage, and Film (1967) for the cinema. For this reason, we could perhaps say that Beckett was fully aware of (and mostly accepted) Marshall McLuhan’s declaration that “the medium is the message”. His TV plays, however, lack this commitment, since the inscription does not hold up for Eh Joe, Ghost Trio … but the clouds…., Quad, Nacht und Träume. But perhaps there may be a reason for this missing link. In my paper I would like to address this media specificity, mainly as far as broadcasting is concerned. Even if I am fully aware that when we compare his radio and stage plays, we can perceive a growing conflation between them, thus preparing for what has been the appeal for producers, theatre directors and actors to cross borders: staging radio plays or taking his stage plays into radio (and TV) studios. For obvious lack of time and circumstance I am deliberately overlooking narrative and, for the most part, disregarding TV plays as well. 73 On choosing this subject of crossing borders in Beckett’s plays as defining his very personal dramaturgy, my intention is to proceed eventually to analysing how his radio plays have been recently staged in Portugal.
