  • Spanish Local Color in Bizet's Carmen.Pdf
    !@14 QW Spanish Local Color in Bizet’s Carmen unexplored borrowings and transformations Ralph P. Locke Bizet’s greatest opera had a rough start in life. True, it was written and composed to meet many of the dramatic and musical expectations of opéra comique. It offered charming and colorful secondary characters that helped “place” the work in its cho- sen locale (such as the Spanish innkeeper Lillas Pastia and Carmen’s various Gypsy sidekicks, female and male), simple strophic forms in many musical numbers, and extensive spoken dialogue between the musical numbers.1 Despite all of this, the work I am grateful for many insightful suggestions from Philip Gossett and Roger Parker and from early readers of this paper—notably Steven Huebner, David Rosen, Lesley A. Wright, and Hervé Lacombe. I also benefi ted from the suggestions of three specialists in the music of Spain: Michael Christoforidis, Suzanne Rhodes Draayer (who kindly provided a photocopy of the sheet-music cover featuring Zélia Trebelli), and—for generously sharing his trove of Garciana, including photocopies of the autograph vocal and instrumental parts for “Cuerpo bueno” that survive in Madrid—James Radomski. The Bibliothèque nationale de France kindly provided microfi lms of their two manu- scripts of “Cuerpo bueno” (formerly in the library of the Paris Conservatoire). Certain points in the present paper were fi rst aired briefl y in one section of a wider-ranging essay, “Nineteenth-Century Music: Quantity, Quality, Qualities,” Nineteenth-Century Music Review 1 (2004): 3–41, at 30–37. In that essay I erroneously referred in passing to Bizet’s piano-vocal score as having been published by Heugel; the publisher was, of course, Choudens.

I analyze practices of cultural consumption involving records in Medell¶³n,Colombia's second largest city and most important industrial center at the time. The study sheds light on some of the complex connections between two simultaneous historical processes during the mid-twentieth century, mass consumption and socio-political strife. Between 1930 and 1953, Colombian society experienced the rise of mass media and mass consumption as well as the outbreak of La Violencia, a turbulent period of social and political strife. Through an analysis of written material, especially the popular press, this work illustrates the use of aesthetic judgments to establish social di®erences in terms of ethnicity, social class, and gender. Another important aspect of the dissertation focuses on the adoption of music gen- res by di®erent groups, not only to demarcate di®erences at the local level, but as a means to inscribe these groups within larger imagined communities.

  • Aragón and Valencia
    ARAGÓN AND VALÈNCIA Aragón and València “The jota is at its best with the scent of rosemary and fresh-plowed earth,” says the opening song on this CD. An infectious collection of danced and sung jotas, archaic threshing songs, May courting songs, struck zither tunes, raucous shawms and lyrical strings, travelling down from the mountains of Aragón to the fertile coast of València. The Spanish Recordings Alan Lomax made these historic recordings in 1952 while traveling for months through Spanish villages, under formidable physical and political circumstances, during the Franco regime. Covering the breadth of Spain, these songs and dance melodies constitute a portrait of rural Spain’s richly varied musical life, dispelling the common stereotypes of Spanish folk music. The Alan Lomax Collection The Alan Lomax Collection gathers together the American, European, and Caribbean field recordings, world music compilations, and ballad operas of writer, folklorist, and ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax. Recorded in 1952 by Alan Lomax. Introductions and notes by Luis Bajén García and Mario Gros Herrero (Aragón), Archivo de Tradición Oral de Aragón (ATOA); and Josemi Sánchez Velasco (València), Consellería de Cultura, Educació i Ciència, Generalitat de València.

    JOSE GRECO , SEE PAGE 5 BIOGRAPHY OF A. LUTHIER Ramirez The Great |AMIREZ DE GALARRETA, MANUEL...a great Spanish luthier, a native of Madrid, Spain. Recognized by everyone as the magician of his trade. He was a great artist at his vocation and a credit to his heritage. Many authorities consider him equal or su- perior to Torres. In the year 1890, he studied electricity until he became foreman of the Madrid Electric Com- pany. During this time he made many fine guitars to supplement his education. Because of the tre- mendous popularity of Torres, Ramirez would make copies of Torres guitars and sell them as originals, no one knew the difference. He tried to keep this a secret until he died. A few years later he opened his own work- shop where he made great guitars for over a period of twenty years. The great luthier Santos Hernandez worked for Ramirez during this complete twenty year period. One can only dream of the magnificent instruments made during this time. 3 BIOGRAPHY OF A LUTHIER (cont'd) Every guitarist today can be grateful to lu- thiers like Ramirez whose great guitars have added so much elegance to the guitar as the concert instrument is today.

Ayer por la tarde impartió en Baluarte la conferencia Sabicas, el maestro que nos formó a distan- cia, en la que desgranó la trayec- toria discográfica del genio pam- plonés de la guitarra durante su larga etapa en Nueva York, desde 1955 hasta su muerte, en 1990. Así describía ayer Gamboa la experiencia de escuchar al gran maestro de la guitarra: “En com- paración, las guitarras de los de- más parecían bandurrias, mien- tras a él le sonaba como un piano de cola. Además, tenía una poten- cia brutal. Si tocaba delante de ti, tu silla se movía”.
