The Paris Conservatoire accepted Ravel as a piano student at age 16, and even though he won a piano competition, more than anything he wanted to compose. But the Conservatory was a hard place. He never won the fugue prize, never won the composition prize, never won anything for writing music and they sent him packing. Twice. He studied with the great Gabriel Fauré, in school and out, but he just couldn’t make any headway with the ruling musical authorities. If it wasn’t clunky parallelisms in his counterpoint, it was unresolved chords in his harmony, but whatever the reason, four times he tried for the ultimate prize in composition, the Prix de Rome, and four times he was refused. -

Her passion for music and her belief in me are what motivated me to begin this journey. I would like to thank my committee members, Professor Jean-Louis Haguenauer and Dr. Karen Shaw, for their continuous supervision and never-ending encouragement that helped me along the way. I also would like to thank Professor Evelyne Brancart, who was on my committee in the earlier part of my study, for her unceasing support and wisdom. I have learned so much from each one of you. Additionally, I would like to thank Professor Mimi Zweig and the entire Indiana University String Academy, for their unconditional friendship and love. They have become my family and home away from home, and without them I would not have been where I am today. -

And the World Dances: Pieces by Maurice Ravel: a Music-Theatre Collaboration
i ii and the world dances: Pieces by Maurice Ravel A Music-Theatre Collaboration A thesis submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in partial fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors by Nicole Dieker May, 2004 Oxford, OH iii ABSTRACT AND THE WORLD DANCES: PIECES BY MAURICE RAVEL A MUSIC-THEATRE COLLABORATION BY NICOLE DIEKER This thesis describes the year-long process of research and rehearsal that culminated in the group-created performance and the world dances: Pieces by Maurice Ravel. Created in response to the United States’ military involvement in Iraq and inspired by the anti-war music of early twentieth-century composer Maurice Ravel, this process allowed me to direct a group of seven actors and one production designer through a group collaboration that resulted in an original full-length performance. The performance, which was entirely scripted and staged by the group, used music, theatre, and dance to provide a perspective both on Ravel’s experiences during WWI and on a contemporary retracing of our current political situation. iv v and the world dances: Pieces by Maurice Ravel: A Music-Theatre Collaboration by Nicole Dieker Approved by: _________________________, Adviser Dr. Jimmy Bickerstaff _________________________, Reader Julia Guichard _________________________, Reader Dr. Eftychia Papanikolaou Accepted by: __________________________, Director, University Honors Program vi vii Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Jimmy Bickerstaff for his help and support as adviser to the thesis process, and Julia Guichard and Dr. Eftychia Papanikolaou for serving as thesis readers.

Ravel's Sound
Ravel’s Sound: Timbre and Orchestration in His Late Works Jennifer P. Beavers NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.21.27.1/mto.21.27.1.beavers.php KEYWORDS: Ravel, timbre, contour, magical effect, illusory instruments, timbrally marked form, sound object, auditory scene analysis, Pictures at an Exhibition, Boléro, Menuet antique, Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, Piano Concerto in G Major ABSTRACT: Ravel’s interwar compositions and transcriptions reveal a sophisticated engagement with timbre and orchestration. Of interest is the way he uses timbre to connect and conceal passages in his music. In this article, I look at the way Ravel manipulates instrumental timbre to create sonic illusions that transform expectations, mark the form, and create meaning. I examine how he uses instrumental groupings to create distinct or blended auditory events, which I relate to musical structure. Using an aurally based analytical approach, I develop these descriptions of timbre and auditory scenes to interpret ways in which different timbre-spaces function. Through techniques such as timbral transformations, magical effects, and timbre and contour fusion, I examine the ways in which Ravel conjures sound objects in his music that are imaginary, transformative, or illusory. DOI: 10.30535/mto.27.1.0 Received January 2020 Volume 27, Number 1, March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Society for Music Theory 1. Introduction [1.1] Throughout his career, Ravel’s sound often defied harmonic and formal expectations. While most analytic scholarship has treated Ravel’s use of timbre as secondary to the parameters of harmony and form, particularly in early- and middle-period compositions, recent scholarship has made timbre a central concern of Ravel’s style. -
The Genre of the Minuet in the Works of Maurice Ravel
Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 1 (2016 9) 41-54 ~ ~ ~ УДК 78.085 The Genre of the Minuet in the Works of Maurice Ravel Valentina V. Bass* Krasnoyarsk State Institute of Art 22 Lenin Str., Krasnoyarsk, 660049, Russia Received 19.07.2015, received in revised form 21.08.2015, accepted 30.08.2015 The article deals with the key issue of modern musicology, the issue of a certain genre that prevails in the works of a music composer, an ability of a genre to become a factor that determines stylistic specificity. In the works of Maurice Ravel this style-forming factor is dance. On the example of the minuet that occupies a special place in the works of the composer, the article explores the principles of mediation of choreographic and musical features of the dance prototype at the semantic and structural levels in the thematism and form generation of Ravel’s works. The aesthetic perfection and delicate elegance of gestures, graphical precision of choreographic pattern and dialogueness typical for the minuet have been reflected in the motive-composition character of the thematism, the periodicity of the syntax, the relative stability of the meter, the active use of various methods of polyphonization of the musical texture, the exclusive role of the principle of symmetry on the compositional, melodic and textural levels of the musical form. Individual features of the minuet in various works of Ravel are related to their stylistic origins and genre fusion creating certain imagery. Keywords: minuet, dance prototype, choreographic pattern of dance, genre semantics, counter rhythm, figurative polyphony, stylistic multilayers. -

The Cambridge Companion to Ravel Edited by Deborah Mawer Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 0521648564 - The Cambridge Companion to Ravel Edited by Deborah Mawer Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to Ravel This Companion provides a comprehensive introduction to the life, music and compositional aesthetic of the French composer Maurice Ravel (1875–1937). Leading international scholars offer a powerful reassessment of this most private and elusive musician, examining his work in detail within its cultural context. Supported by many music examples, the volume explores the full range of Ravel’s work – piano repertory, chamber works, orchestral music, ballets, songs and operas – and makes illuminating comparisons with the music of Couperin, Gounod, Chabrier and Debussy. The chapters present the latest research focusing on topics such as Ravel’s exoticism and Spanishness and conclude by analysing the performance and reception of his music, including previously untranslated reviews. Marking the 125th anniversary of Ravel’s birth, the Companion as a whole aims to secure a solid foundation for Ravel studies in the twenty-first century and will appeal to all enthusiasts and students of his music. The editor, Deborah Mawer, is Lecturer in Music at Lancaster University, where she specialises in French music (c. 1890–1939). She is author of Darius Milhaud (1997) and ‘Darius Milhaud, La Création du monde’ (1996), an analytical listening guide. She also writes on music analysis and education. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521648564 - The Cambridge Companion
