THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA Celso Garrido-Lecca THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Celso Garrido-Lecca: Synthesis and Syncretism in Concert Music of the Andes Area (1985-2000) A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Nelson Niño Washington, D.C. 2011 Celso Garrido-Lecca: Synthesis and Syncretism in Concert Music of the Andes Area (1985-2000) Nelson Niño, Ph.D. Director: George Grayson Wagstaff, Ph.D. The art music of the Andean region, especially the music produced in the last decades of the twentieth century, has been largely neglected by modern scholarship. This situation has generated a profound lack of research not only in relation to the works of specific composers of this area but also comprehensives research projects that allow an understanding of the aesthetics and musical currents in an important number of South American countries. Among a number of prolific composers of the Andean region, Celso Garrido-Lecca (b. 1926) has been chosen as the central focus of this dissertation. His direct contact with two different cultures of the Andean region, Peru and Chile, gave him a unique and interesting world view. Garrido-Lecca after 1985 was able to synthesize his diverse musical experiences in a very personal language. His mature compositional stage, which extends from 1985 to the present, reached its highest point in the year 2000 when the composer was awarded the “Tomás Luis de Victoria” prize. All the compositions of the period 1985-2000 are discussed in this dissertation and four representative pieces are analyzed in detail: Trío para un Nuevo Tiempo (1985), String Quartet No. 2 (1987), Simpay (1988), and Dúo concertante for charango and guitar (1991). The main characteristics of his mature compositional period are defined in this dissertation mainly through the musical analysis of Garrido-Lecca’s works and information gathered during the close contact established between the author and the composer. In the works composed by Garrido-Lecca between 1985 and 2000, one finds a syncretism of elements from different traditions and influences, including serialism, native and mestizo music from the Andes, Creole music from Peru and Chile, popular songs associated with the Nueva Canción Chilena, and musical representations of mystical conceptions. This repertory constitutes an important synthesis and syncretism of European, Peruvian, and Chilean traditions, representing one of the most remarkable examples of the music composed in the Andean region during the last decades of the twentieth century.

Thanks to Dr. Emma Garmendia, Mr. Richard White, Dr. Joseph Santo, Dr. Grayson Wagstaff, Dr. Andrew Weaver, Dr. Esperanza Berrocal, Dr. Andrew Simpson, Dr. Jennifer DeLapp-Birkett, and all the professors at the Catholic University of America, School of Music, who gave me superior instruction in music at the Master and Doctorate levels. Also, I thank Italo Pedrotti, Cecilia Cordero, Saúl Bitrán, Javier Echecopar, Luis Humberto Ramos, and all the composers and performers who helped me throughout the development of my research. My special gratitude goes to maestro Celso Garrido-Lecca, whose oeuvre reinforced my knowledge and appreciation of Latin American music; and to my mother, Ana Zulema Vásquez, who supported and tolerated me in her house during my Master and Doctorate studies. But above all, my deepest gratitude goes to my wife Ana María Aravena and my daughter Anita Nicole Niño, who believed in my dreams and survived a long separation of four-and-a-half years from their husband and father. I promise that the rest of my life will be for you. v Chapter 1 Introduction Carlos Chávez, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and Alberto Ginastera have been considered the most outstanding Latin-American art composers of the twentieth century. Consequently, most scholars interested in Latin-American music have dedicated their efforts to the study of these particular composers’ oeuvres and the development of music in their respective countries: Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. The art music of the Andean region, especially the music produced in the last decades of the twentieth century, has been largely neglected by modern scholarship. This situation has generated a profound lack of research not only in relation to the works of specific composers of this area but also comprehensives research projects that allow an understanding of the aesthetics and musical currents in an important number of South American countries.1 Among a number of prolific composers of the Andean region, Celso Garrido- Lecca (b. 1926) has been chosen as the central focus of this dissertation. His direct contact with two different cultures of the Andean region, Peru and Chile, gave him a 1 Gerard Béhague’s Music in Latin America; an Introduction (Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1979) is the most recent survey in English dedicated to the study of Latin American art music.

What are those musical elements that characterize the production of this specific contemporary Andean composer? How did the political, social and cultural situation he experienced in Peru and Chile influence his musical output? How is Garrido-Lecca’s oeuvre representative of the Andean area? According to Garrido-Lecca himself, the year 1985 marked the beginning of a period of synthesis in his compositions. This mature stage, which extends from 1985 to the present, reached its highest point in the year 2000 when the composer was awarded the “Tomás Luis de Victoria” prize.2 During a period of fifteen years between 1985 and 2000, Garrido-Lecca composed a total of twenty-seven works, including incidental music for films and dance, vocal music, pieces for solo instruments, chamber music for different types of ensembles, and large orchestral works.3 Garrido-Lecca’s works offer a significant example of syncretism: in his vast production, there are elements of serialism, native music of the Andes, the use of folk instruments, quotations of popular music associated with the Nueva Canción Chilena 2 This award recognized Garrido-Lecca’s oeuvre and recognized him as one of the best contemporary art composers of Ibero-America.

  • Dans La Cantata Popular Santa María De Iquique
    06,2 I 2021 Archiv für Textmusikforschung Identité(s) et mémoire(s) dans la Cantata popular Santa María de Iquique Olga LOBO (Grenoble)11 Summary The Cantata popular de Santa María de Iquique is one of the most important musical compositions of Quilapayún. Composed by Luis Advis in 1969 it tells the story of the massacre of the Iquique mineworkers in 1907. This cantata popular has become not only one of the symbols of the protest songs from the Seventies but also an icon for the universal struggle against injustice. The aim of this article is to study its history and different meanings in order to show the way how poetry, lyrics and music come together to tell the identities and memories of the Chilean people until now, when we celebrate its 50th anniversary. La Cantata de Luis Advis, une composition hybride et populaire La Cantata, entre deux traditions Interprétée pour la première fois en 1970 par le groupe Quilapayún, La Cantata popular Santa María de Iquique (Cantata) est une composition de Luis Advis (Iquique, 1935 – Santiago du Chili, 2005). Musicien autodidacte, il suivra dans les années 1950, une fois arrivé à Santiago, une formation classique avec Gustavo Becerra ou Albert Spikin. Si la tradi- tion classique sera déterminante pour la suite de sa carrière, les rythmes latino-américains ne font leur apparition dans le spectre de ses intérêts musicaux qu’à partir des années soixante. Son intérêt pour cette culture populaire était cependant tout relatif. Évoquant la genèse de la Cantata (dans une lettre du 15 mars 1984, envoyée à Eduardo Carrasco) Advis affirmera qu’à cette période-là il était un musicien « muy poco conocedor de la realidad popular musical y artística de [su] país » (Advis 2007, 16).

  • A Comparative Case Study of the Political Economy of Music in Cuba and Argentina by Paul Ruffner Honors Capstone Prof
    Music, Money, and the Man: A Comparative Case Study of the Political Economy of Music in Cuba and Argentina By Paul Ruffner Honors Capstone Prof. Clarence Lusane May 4, 2009 Political economy is an interpretive framework which has been applied to many different areas in a wide range of societies. Music, however, is an area which has received remarkably little attention; this is especially surprising given the fact that music from various historical periods contains political messages. An American need only be reminded of songs such as Billy Holliday’s “Strange Fruit” or the general sentiments of the punk movement of the 1970s and 80s to realize that American music is not immune to this phenomenon. Cuba and Argentina are two countries with remarkably different historical experiences and economic structures, yet both have experience with vibrant traditions of music which contains political messages, which will hereafter be referred to as political music. That being said, important differences exist with respect to both the politics and economics of the music industries in the two countries. Whereas Cuban music as a general rule makes commentaries on specific historical events and political situations, its Argentine counterpart is much more metaphorical in its lyrics, and much more rhythmically and structurally influenced by American popular music. These and other differences can largely be explained as resulting from the relations between the community of musicians and the state, more specifically state structure and ideological affiliation in both cases, with the addition of direct state control over the music industry in the Cuban case, whereas the Argentine music industry is dominated largely by multinational concerns in a liberal democratic state.

  • Violeta Parra, Después De Vivir Un Siglo
    En el documental Violeta más viva que nunca, el poeta Gonzalo Rojas llama a Violeta la estrella mayor de Chile, lo más grande, la síntesis perfecta. Esta elocuente descripción habla del sitial privilegiado que en la actualidad, por fin, ocupa Violeta Parra en nuestro país, después de muchos años injustos en los que su obra fue reconocida en el extranjero y prácticamente ignorada en Chile. Hoy, reconocemos a Violeta como la creadora que hizo de lo popular una expre- sión vanguardista, llena de potencia e identidad, pero también como un talento universal, singular y, quizás, irrepetible. Violeta fue una mujer que logró articular en su arte corrientes divergentes, obligándonos a tomar conciencia sobre la diversidad territorial y cultural del país que, además de valorar sus saberes originarios, emplea sus recursos para pavimentar un camino hacia la comprensión y valoración de lo otro. Para ello, tendió un puente entre lo campesino y lo urbano, asumiendo las antiguas tradi- ciones instaladas en el mundo campesino, pero también, haciendo fluir y trans- formando un patrimonio cultural en diálogo con una conciencia crítica. Además, construyó un puente con el futuro, con las generaciones posteriores a ella, y también las actuales, que reconocen en Violeta Parra el canto valiente e irreve- rente que los conecta con su palabra, sus composiciones y su música. Pero Violeta no se limitó a narrar costumbres y comunicar una filosofía, sino que también se preocupó de exponer, reflexionar y debatir sobre la situación política y social de la época que le tocó vivir, desarrollando una conciencia crítica, fruto de su profundo compromiso social.

EL SERVICIO SPOTIFY COMO HERRAMIENTA DE PENETRACIÓN CULTURAL Strano, Mariano Facultad de Humanidades y Artes, UNR Rosario, Argentina [email protected] Con el surgimiento de Spotify, la reconocida plataforma que transmite contenidos musicales de las grandes discográficas a cualquier lugar del mundo y en cualquier momento, incluso a través de los teléfonos celulares, a partir de los años 2010 la búsqueda de contenidos comenzó a ser realizada a través de este medio, bajo los conceptos de simplicidad, comodidad, legalidad y gratuidad. Consiguientemente, los usuarios/consumidores perdieron protagonismo en la búsqueda y elección de música frente a las sugerencias coactivas que el servicio realiza desde la pantalla. Con ello, la industria discográfica multiplicó el caudal de sus flujos de distribución, consiguiendo imponer modas y productos con mayor facilidad y con menores costos respecto a los medios de comunicación tradicionales. El poder de Spotify para sortear fronteras y penetrar esferas culturales es mayor en los usuarios que no pueden acceder al servicio de pago, y que por lo tanto están expuestos a la publicidad no selectiva y a las escuchas forzosas de productos musicales que no es posible elegir ni rechazar. Así, de la mano de democratización y liberalización de la oferta y la demanda de contenidos culturales, en Argentina, las capitales géneros como el cuarteto o el chamamé presentan disminuciones en el consumo de dichos ritmos tradicionales.

Considerar que, si bien Violeta Parra no se desarrolló activamente durante todo este periodo debido a su temprana muerte, fue sin duda alguna la canalizadora y guía para muchos de los solistas o grupos que se desarrollaron artísticamente en los años posteriores. Algunos artistas importantes e ineludibles de la época son: • Violeta Parra • Víctor Jara • Rolando Alarcón • Ángel e Isabel Parra • Patricio Manns • Santiago del nuevo extremo • Inti Illimani • Quilapayun • Sol y lluvia • Illapu • Los jaivas Dado lo anterior adjuntaré unos links con canciones o conciertos en vivo donde les pediré que investiguen o pongan atención en los siguientes detalles: Ø Link 1 Análisis realizado por un Español bastante conocido en YouTube, este video es su primera vez analizando a los jaivas, específicamente la poderosa muerte, es necesario que cuando escuchen música y vean los videos que adjuntaré vean todos los detalles tal como lo hace este sujeto en su canal, obviamente lo que desconozcan en cuanto a instrumentos investíguenlo y no se queden como el que básicamente dice algunas barbaridades, sin embargo, esto se puede entender ya que es un mundo instrumental y sonoro más cercano a nosotros que a él.
