Calzada 2015 © Copyright by Orlando M. Calzada 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Caribbean and the Avant-Garde: Luciano Berio’s Rhumba-Ramble by Orlando M. Calzada Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Ian Krouse, Chair Abstract With the establishment of the first Spanish settlement in Las Américas called La Navidad – in what is today Dominican Republic – Cristobal Colón established official domination of Europe over the newly discovered land. A new era of worldwide exchange started to reshape territories, societies, cultures and relationships between peoples around the globe. Early in the 16th Century, as Charles C. Mann explains in his book 14931, “slaves from Africa mined silver in the Americas for sale to China; Spanish merchants waited impatiently for the latest shipment of Asian silk and porcelain from Mexico; Dutch sailors traded cowry shells from the Maldive Island in the Indian Ocean for human beings in 1 Charles C. Mann, 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created (New York: Vintage Books, 2011), 6. ii Angola” while “tobacco from the Caribbean ensorcelled the wealthy and powerful in Madrid, Madras, Mecca and Manila.” The musical arena was not exempt from the dynamic phenomenon created by this globalization. Slaves brought, from Africa, a strong and sophisticated sense of melodic rhythm and percussive tradition and the European colonizers imposed their overpowering structural and harmonic tendencies. Although the Taínos2 were eradicated in a few years after the beginnings of the colonization, they also contributed to this cultural amalgamation with prototypes of musical instruments commonly used in Caribbean music today. Because of the historic socio-political situation from the 16th through the 19th Century, the importation of European music to the Caribbean concert halls was emphasized over the exportation of the Caribbean popular music to homogeneous venues in Europe. Yet, by 1850’s, the New Orleans pianist and composer, Louis Moreau Gottschalk took on the mission of composing music full of Caribbeanism with the purpose of presenting it in the concert hall. Inspired by his experiences in Cuba and Puerto Rico, Cocoyé (1853) and Souvenir de Porto Rico (1857)3 were early prototypes in the development of the influence of Caribbean music on classical composers. Since then, Caribbean music has become part of the influences embraced by classical composers around the globe. It has been a fountain of inspiration in pieces where the composer’s style interweaves with its elements and its character. Hector Berlioz, Georges Bizet, Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy, Camille Saint- Saens, Aaron Copland, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, Hans Werner Henze and György Ligeti, all adopted Caribbean elements into their music while preserving their own 2 Natives of the Greater Antilles 3 Starr S. Frederick, Louis Moreau Gottschalk (Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois, 2000), 266. iii styles. In Rhumba-Ramble, Luciano Berio, as did his fellow composers, embraces Caribbean elements and its substance, allowing them to become pillars of the piece while still being truthful to his own compositional voice. This analysis of Rhumba-Ramble will identify and discuss the specific ways in which the composition serves Berio as a vehicle to manifest his idiosyncrasy in perfect integration with traditional dance Caribbean music. iv This dissertation of Orlando M.

It was finished in 1953, the year after Berio’s visit to New York City. Dark Rapture Crawl, the first movement of the Divertimento, was composed by Bruno Maderna in 1957 and the second movement, called Scat Rag, was composed, by Berio in 1958. Berio states himself, “we were always together and together we composed Divertimento for Orchestra”4. The names of these three movements were given by the singer Cathy Berberian. According to Berio’s statement (understatement as this dissertation will prove), Rhumba-Ramble is a “rigorous development of the rumba”5; the other two movements are “frequent distorted echoes of jazz and night-club music”6. The inclusion of a section of ten saxophones in Dark Rapture Crawl, five saxophones in Scat Rag and three saxophones in Rhumba-Ramble speaks about the composers’ intentions of evoking American sounds like the big band or, in the case of Rhumba-Ramble, the Latin big band. A rare recording was found by the American Composer Charles Amirkhanian, in 1973, while “rummaging through the archives of the West German Radio in Cologne”7. This recording was performed by the Cologne Radio Symphony, conducted by Bruno Maderna himself. Up to now there is not a single published study of Rhumba-Ramble and very little has been written about it. In fact, in my research I found no substantial information other 4 Centro Studi Luciano Berio, Divertimento (nota dell’autore), accessed October 15th, 2015, http://www.lucianoberio.org/node/1367?1223294767=1 5 Ibid. 6 Ibid. 7 Radiom, Divertimento for Orchestra by Bruno Maderna and Luciano Berio, accessed October 15th, 2015, http://radiom.org/detail.php?omid=AM.1973.XX.XX.01 1 than the one offered by Charles Amirkhanian in Radiom.org and Berio’s note dell’autore in the Centri Studi Luciano Berio website. This Divertimento per Orchestra has been a hidden treasure since its conception. It is an outstanding piece and should be recognized as an important contribution to 20th Century music. While I am greatly fascinated by the three movements of this Divertimento, I have a special interest in Rhumba-Ramble. This special interest arises from my own urge to discover how Caribbean musical genres, especially those of the Hispanic Antilles, have penetrated the European classical music territory of the 20th Century.

  • Malpaso Dance Company Is Filled with Information and Ideas That Support the Performance and the Study Unit You Will Create with Your Teaching Artist
    The Joyce Dance Education Program Resource and Reference Guide Photo by Laura Diffenderfer The Joyce’s School & Family Programs are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; and made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Special support has been provided by Con Edison, The Walt Disney Company, A.L. and Jennie L. Luria Foundation, and May and Samuel Rudin Family Foundation, Inc. December 10, 2018 Dear Teachers, The resource and reference material in this guide for Malpaso Dance Company is filled with information and ideas that support the performance and the study unit you will create with your teaching artist. For this performance, Malpaso will present Ohad Naharin’s Tabla Rasa in its entirety. Tabula Rasa made its world premiere on the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre on February 6, 1986. Thirty-two years after that first performance, on May 4, 2018, this seminal work premiered on Malpaso Dance Company in Cuba. Check out the link here for the mini-documentary on Ohad Naharin’s travels to Havana to work with Malpaso. This link can also be found in the Resources section of this study guide. A new work by company member Beatriz Garcia Diaz will also be on the program, set to music by the Italian composer Ezio Bosso. The title of this work is the Spanish word Ser, which translates to “being” in English. I love this quote by Kathleen Smith from NOW Magazine Toronto: "As the theatre begins to vibrate with accumulated energy, you get the feeling that they could dance just about any genre with jaw-dropping style.

  • Types of Dance Styles
    Types of Dance Styles International Standard Ballroom Dances Ballroom Dance: Ballroom dancing is one of the most entertaining and elite styles of dancing. In the earlier days, ballroom dancewas only for the privileged class of people, the socialites if you must. This style of dancing with a partner, originated in Germany, but is now a popular act followed in varied dance styles. Today, the popularity of ballroom dance is evident, given the innumerable shows and competitions worldwide that revere dance, in all its form. This dance includes many other styles sub-categorized under this. There are many dance techniques that have been developed especially in America. The International Standard recognizes around 10 styles that belong to the category of ballroom dancing, whereas the American style has few forms that are different from those included under the International Standard. Tango: It definitely does take two to tango and this dance also belongs to the American Style category. Like all ballroom dancers, the male has to lead the female partner. The choreography of this dance is what sets it apart from other styles, varying between the International Standard, and that which is American. Waltz: The waltz is danced to melodic, slow music and is an equally beautiful dance form. The waltz is a graceful form of dance, that requires fluidity and delicate movement. When danced by the International Standard norms, this dance is performed more closely towards each other as compared to the American Style. Foxtrot: Foxtrot, as a dance style, gives a dancer flexibility to combine slow and fast dance steps together.

This dance, now known as “on 2” mambo, or salsa, for its relationship to the clave, is the first uniquely North American form of vernacular Latino dance on the East Coast. This paper traces the New York mambo’s develop- ment from its beginnings at the Palladium Ballroom through the salsa and hustle years and up to the present time. The current period is characterized by increasing growth, commercialization, codification, and a blending with other modern, urban dance genres such as hip-hop.

  • Round Dances Scot Byars Started Dancing in 1965 in the San Francisco Bay Area
    Syllabus of Dance Descriptions STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2016 – FINAL 7/31/2016 In Memoriam Floyd Davis 1927 – 2016 Floyd Davis was born and raised in Modesto. He started dancing in the Modesto/Turlock area in 1947, became one of the teachers for the Modesto Folk Dancers in 1955, and was eventually awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for dance by the Stanislaus Arts Council. Floyd loved to bake and was famous for his Chocolate Kahlua cake, which he made every year to auction off at the Stockton Folk Dance Camp Wednesday auction. Floyd was tireless in promoting folk dancing and usually danced three times a week – with the Del Valle Folk Dancers in Livermore, the Modesto Folk Dancers and the Village Dancers. In his last years, Alzheimer’s disease robbed him of his extensive knowledge and memory of hundreds, if not thousands, of folk dances. A celebration for his 89th birthday was held at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock on January 29 and was attended by many of his well-wishers from all over northern California. Although Floyd could not attend, a DVD was made of the event and he was able to view it and he enjoyed seeing familiar faces from his dancing days. He died less than a month later. Floyd missed attending Stockton Folk Dance Camp only once between 1970 and 2013. Sidney Messer 1926 – 2015 Sidney Messer died in November, 2015, at the age of 89. Many California folk dancers will remember his name because theny sent checks for their Federation membership to him for nine years.
