6. Theodor Rogalski, Conductor, Composer and Professor
DOI: 10.2478/rae-2021-0006 Review of Artistic Education no. 21 2021 35-45 6. THEODOR ROGALSKI, CONDUCTOR, COMPOSER AND PROFESSOR. 3 ROMANIAN DANCES, CONDUCTING STYLISTIC ANALYSIS 13 Iulian Rusu Abstract: Dancing in the culture of all peoples is a form of artistic manifestation with various functions, mystical, hunting warriors, etc., with deep roots in the very beginning of the first forms of organization of human communities. At national level, our people are the keeper of old and wonderful folk traditions, with dances of great wealth and variety. In our popular creation, the choreographic term “danse” is called “play”. Romanian dances have various ritual, ceremonial, or party functions, related to specific occasions. As a spatial deployment, they are divided into several categories: group, band, couple and soloistic. Theodor Rogalski in the Three Romanian dances highlights the beauty and vitality of the character of our people, especially through orchestration and the timbral coloring of the instruments. The conducting analysis of the 3 Romanian dances can also be a teaching material that is designed to guide the young musicians on the way to musical analysis. Key words: analysis, pedagogue, composer, dance, rhythmic plasticity 1. Introduction - Theodor Rogalski14 He was one of Alfonso Castaldi's disciples at the Bucharest Conservatory between 1919 and 1920, continued in Leipzig between 1920 and 1923, studying the conducting with Siegfried Karg-Elent and at Schola Cantorum from Paris 1924-1926, with Vincent d'Indy, Maurice Ravel. Returning home, he became a Cho repeater to the Romanian Opera in Bucharest between 1926-1930. In 1930, he conducted the Opera Boris Godunov by Modest Mussorgski with the famous Russian bass Teodor Saliapin, among the others. -

NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, AND ETHNO-REGIONALISM IN PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING BY IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Donna A. Buchanan, Chair Professor Emeritus Thomas Turino Professor Gabriel Solis Professor Maria Todorova ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the multilayered connections between music, emotionality, social and cultural belonging, collective memory, and identity discourse. The ethnographic case study for the examination of all these relations and aspects is the Pontic muhabeti or parakathi. Parakathi refers to a practice of socialization and music making that is designated insider Pontic Greek. It concerns primarily Pontic Greeks or Pontians, the descendants of the 1922 refugees from Black Sea Turkey (Gr. Pontos), and their identity discourse of ethno-regionalism. Parakathi references nightlong sessions of friendly socialization, social drinking, and dialogical participatory singing that take place informally in coffee houses, taverns, and households. Parakathi performances are reputed for their strong Pontic aesthetics, traditional character, rich and aesthetically refined repertoire, and intense emotionality. Singing in parakathi performances emerges spontaneously from verbal socialization and emotional saturation. Singing is described as a confessional expression of deeply personal feelings -

Jeremy Montagu Did Shawms Exist in Antiquity? Page 1 of 4 Did Shawms Exist in Antiquity? A paper given at an Archaeomusicology Conference By ‘shawm’ I mean the instrument which is played with a double reed, normally held wholly inside the player’s mouth (ie not controlled by the lips), and which is conical in bore, either in a conoid (as in China, S.E.Asia, India, Tibet, and Western Europe) or in a stepped cone (as in Turkey, North Africa, and the Balkans), and which, because of this conical bore, overblows the octave and all accessible harmonics. It thus differs from the normal aulos, mat, and tibia of Ancient Greece, Egypt and Rome which, while they were usually also played with a double reed,1 were cylindrical in bore and thus comparatively low in pitch and unable to overblow the octave. This question, whether this instrument with which we would associate the name ‘shawm’ existed in antiquity, is one which is important, both to us as archaeo-organologists and, certainly so far as nomenclature is concerned, to the scholars of antiquity in general. Our colleagues, the archaeologists, those museum curators who are concerned with antiquity, and all those who write on the life and material culture of the ancient world, are notoriously careless about the names of most types of musical instruments, and particularly of wind instruments, to an extent which would be anathema to them if they were describing weapons, coins, pottery, or any other artefacts. How many museum displays, articles, books and so forth do we all know in which the aulos is called a flute? And this happens even when they are describing an illustration on a Greek pot in which the reed is clearly visible. -

Abstract Ethos – meaning the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations – is a piece that explores Greek music from the 3 rd Millennium B.C.E. to the folk tunes and dances of the 16 th century C.E. Ethos incorporates multiphonics, quarter tones, ancient tonal systems and folk scales to show the differences and similarities between ancient and folk styles . The piece also features the traditional Greek drum ‘Daouli’ and mimics ancient instruments with those in a traditio nal orchestra. As the piece develops, ancient musical fragments can be heard thought the orchestra, chiefly in string and woodwind passages. The violin, harp, flute and clarinet depict the kithara, lyre, floyera and aulos, respectively. The e ver present in crease in tempo drives both virtuosic and drone like characters to develop and transform. -
Singing Like the Gaida (Bagpipe)”: Investigating Relations Between Singing and Instrumental Playing Techniques in Greek Thrace
journal of interdisciplinary music studies spring/fall 2008, volume 2, issue 1&2, art. #0821203, pp. 33-57 “Singing like the Gaida (Bagpipe)”: Investigating Relations between Singing and Instrumental Playing Techniques in Greek Thrace Haris Sarris1 and Panagiotis Tzevelekos2 1 Department of Music Studies, National Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece 2 Department of Informatics and Telecommunications, National Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece Background in ethnomusicology. In the region of Thrace, as well as in the wider Balkan area, a special singing style has been observed, which is closely related to ‘open throat’ singing techniques. This practice is often associated with low pitch sounds, produced by glottal stops, and some high pitched ‘screaming’ tones (Rice 1977). Furthermore, the aforementioned singing techniques are strongly connected with the playing techniques of the gaida (bagpipe) (Levy 1985, Rice 1994, Sarris 2007), an instrument that is found with minor variations from Romania to continental Greece. Background in acoustical analysis. Acoustical analysis has played an important role both in spoken and singing voice research during the last decades. From linguistics and phonology, to speech synthesis, many applications utilize the analysis of the voice and the data that derive from it. Pitch extraction, intensity contours, formants, and spectrograms are a few of the elements used in the acoustical analysis of the voice. Although many studies focus on the analysis of Western opera or pop music singing techniques (Bloothooft & Plomp 1986, Sundberg 2001, Thalén & Sundberg 2001), little research has been performed on the acoustical analysis of traditional or nonwestern singing (Ross 1992, Delviniotis 1998). Aims. In this study, we examine the potential link between traditional singing and the music of the gaida in Greek Thrace with respect to techniques and aesthetics, using ethnomusicological resources and acoustical analysis. -
Voicelikeness of Musical Instruments
MSX0010.1177/1029864916631393Musicae ScientiaeSchubert and Wolfe 631393research-article2016 Article Musicae Scientiae 1 –15 Voicelikeness of musical © The Author(s) 2016 Reprints and permissions: instruments: A literature review sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1029864916631393 of acoustical, psychological and msx.sagepub.com expressiveness perspectives Emery Schubert The University of New South Wales, Australia Joe Wolfe The University of New South Wales, Australia Abstract What makes an artificial musical instrument such as the flute, trombone or cello sound like the human voice, and which of all instruments is the most voicelike? This article reviews acoustical and psychological arguments that might explain why a musical instrument would be likened to the singing human voice. The authors could find no evidence to support the idea of any single instrument being systematically, and consistently, regarded as voicelike. The human voice is frequently referred to as an ideal to which a well- played musical instrument should aspire. However, investigations are few that go beyond speculation and introspection regarding what instrument or instruments sound voicelike and why. Although no single instrument emerged as being systematically and consistently voicelike, a program of empirical research is suggested to determine whether there currently exist (possibly culturally promulgated) beliefs about what instrument is considered most voicelike and why. Keywords acoustics, action-perception loop, expressiveness, mimicry, timbre, voicelike musical instruments Music psychologists have shown increasing interest in explaining why we experience emotion in music, particularly in non-vocal music, which has no words to guide us with denotations of emotional experiences. The vocal apparatus is good at communicating emotion through pros- ody, and there exists strong evidence that music, whether performed by the voice or non-vocal instruments, is able to communicate these emotions (Juslin, 2000; Juslin & Laukka, 2003a; Mithen, 2005, 2009; Scherer, 1995).
