Singers and audiences know and cherish the compositions of the "Spanish Fivew-Enrique Granados, Joaquin Turina, Fernando Obradors, Manuel de Falla, and Joaquin Rodrigo-but they don't know the roots and branches from which these com- posers bloomed. Art Song Composers of Spain logically and systematically takes readers through the various developmental stages of the cancion lirica, discuss- ing the lives and contributions of ninety-three composers. Singers may not know these composers but an absence of knowledge does not diminish the value of these musicians and their exquisite contributions to the genre. Art Song Composers of Spain is without equal in the field of Spanish vocal literature as it is a comprehensive and complete resource. Songs are discussed and analyzed by a singer who knows the repertoire well. Suzanne makes astute comments regarding the poetry, the political and historical panorama, and the case for the inclusion of this song literature in the studio and on the stage. This volume is a treasure trove of composers, compositions, and ideas for further research. A superb resource for singers, teachers of singing, and music historians, Art Song Composers of Spain has filled a void, a crevasse many performers and teachers of singing didn't know existed. Thank you, Suzanne! Nico Caste1 New York Preface The genesis of my Spanish song research began in 1984 during my doctoral work at the University of Maryland. Professor George Shirley taught a Vocal Literature class on less traditional art song-the repertoire of Russian, African- American, and Spanish composers. Research practices were much more difficult all those years ago-online research did not exist; the 1980 edition of the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians contained little information regarding the contributions and legacies of European Spanish song; the Library of Congress held very few works by Spanish composers. And finally, the best music stores in the United States, including Joseph Patelson Music House in New York City, could not acquire Spanish vocal music. In Professor Shirley's class, we studied photocopied scores of Castilian song-no printed scores were available-of several composers, including Joaquin Rodrigo and Joaquin Turina. I performed some of this lovely repertoire in class as well as on my doctoral recitals. As I began to consider composers for my dissertation-tape project, a project requiring performers to research and per- form music that had never been recorded or was no longer available on re- cording, I was drawn to the canciones liricas of Spain.

  • Canções E Modinhas: a Lecture Recital of Brazilian Art Song Repertoire Marcía Porter, Soprano and Lynn Kompass, Piano
    Canções e modinhas: A lecture recital of Brazilian art song repertoire Marcía Porter, soprano and Lynn Kompass, piano As the wealth of possibilities continues to expand for students to study the vocal music and cultures of other countries, it has become increasingly important for voice teachers and coaches to augment their knowledge of repertoire from these various other non-traditional classical music cultures. I first became interested in Brazilian art song repertoire while pursuing my doctorate at the University of Michigan. One of my degree recitals included Ernani Braga’s Cinco canções nordestinas do folclore brasileiro (Five songs of northeastern Brazilian folklore), a group of songs based on Afro-Brazilian folk melodies and themes. Since 2002, I have been studying and researching classical Brazilian song literature and have programmed the music of Brazilian composers on nearly every recital since my days at the University of Michigan; several recitals have been entirely of Brazilian music. My love for the music and culture resulted in my first trip to Brazil in 2003. I have traveled there since then, most recently as a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Universidade de São Paulo. There is an abundance of Brazilian art song repertoire generally unknown in the United States. The music reflects the influence of several cultures, among them African, European, and Amerindian. A recorded history of Brazil’s rich music tradition can be traced back to the sixteenth-century colonial period. However, prior to colonization, the Amerindians who populated Brazil had their own tradition, which included music used in rituals and in other aspects of life.

    COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES MUSIC LIBRARY ZARZUELA COLLECTION [Shelvedoff-sST BlOTJ^ COU-tCTloh) -XS Shelvedoffeftf 1993 CONTENTS page DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION 1 LISTING OF CONTENTS IN BOXORDER 4 BIBLIOGRAPHIC TITLE SHEETS (duplicates are included in boxes and have been filmed with the materials) COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES MUSIC LIBRARY ZARZUELA COLLECTION DESCRIPTION The Zarzuela Collection at Columbia University consists of almost five hundred different zarzuelas. Both nineteenth and twentieth century works are represented by libretti, scores, and separate instrumental parts. Formats include printed, typewritten, and handwritten items. Many of the libretti contain role assignments and other handwritten notes which indicate they were used by a traveling zarzuela company. Among the authors of the libretti are Javer de Bergos y Sarragoiti, Jose Estremero y Cuenca, Jacinto Benavente, and the Quintero brothers. BACKGROUND The Zarzuela Collection was given to the Columbia Music Library by the Hispanic Institute in 1986. The Institute was founded in 1916 as the Instituto de las Espanas en los Estados Unidos by Frederico de Onis, the year he became head of the Spanish Department at Columbia University. In 1940 the Institute acquired its present name, and in 1961 it moved to the Columbia campus. Since there was no space in the new quarters for the collection, it was donated to the Music Library in two installments — the first included the music scores, the second the libretti and other texts. The source and original organization of the collection are difficult to determine, since the card catalog which accompanied it did not accurately reflect it. In an unpublished study, Janet L.

    МUSIC SUMMER FESTIVALS AS PROMOTERS OF THE SPA CULTURAL TOURISM: FESTIVAL OF CLASSICAL MUSIC VRNJCI Smiljka Isaković1, Jelena Borović-Dimić2 Abstract This paper is dedicated to the music summer festivals, a hallmark of the local community and the holder of the economic development of the region and the society, from ancient times to the present day. Special emphasis is placed on the International Festival of classical music "Vrnjci", held in Belimarković mansion in July, organized by the Homeland Мuseum – Castle of Culture of Vrnjaĉka Banja. A dramatic development of high technologies brought forth a new era based on conceptual creativity. Leisure time is prolonged, while tourism as one of the activities of spending leisure time is changing from passive to active. The cultural sector is becoming an important partner in the economic development of countries and cultural tourism is gaining in importance. Festival tourism in this country must be supported by the wider community and the state because the quality of cultural events makes us an equal competitor on the global tourism market. Keywords: cultural tourism, festivals, art, music, local self governments. Cultural Tourism The middle of the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries can be called the period of tourism, since Stendhal popularized this term in France with his book "Memoirs of a tourist" (1838) and Englishman Thomas Cook opened his travel agency in 1841. Modern tourism experienced its first expansion between 1850 and 1870, enabled by the major railways networking in Europe
