We are told that he studied with Arthur ; while his home is in Zurich, he spends much time in Paris. "Conrad Beck, the young Swiss musician, twenty-six years of age, lives in Paris and belongs to the circle of musicians grouped about Arthur Honegger. The personal qualities of his work, his creative force, and the mastery of his writing, have enabled him quickly to acquire a place in the advance guard of the younger school ; and his works, notably his Third String Quartet, are frequently performed in Europe. "The Third Symphony for string orchestra dates from the summer of 1927. This work is rather severe in character and concise in structure. It is built almost entirely upon a general theme and its counter subject, variously developed." The Symphony, published in 1928, is dedicated to Walther Straram.* The performance in Boston is the first. A Sinfonietta by Beck was performed at Walther Straram's Walther Straram was an assistant conductor at the Boston Opera House during the season 1912-13, 1913-14. In 1913 he was a pianist at the Sunday concerts In the Opera House. In 1914 he was "musical assistant" in the production of several operas. Songs from Recent Boston Programmes SUNG BY Roy E.

Beck's String Quartet, No. 3, was performed at the Frankfort Music Festival on July 2, 1927. "Ode to Death," Poem by Walt Whitman, set to music for Chorus and Orchestra, Op. 38 . G-ustav Theodore Holst (Born at Cheltenham, England, on September 21, 1874; living in London) The "Ode to Death," composed in 1919, was produced at the Leeds Festival of 1922. The words of the "Ode to Death"—the title is Hoist's own—are taken from Walt Whitman's "President Lincoln's Burial Hymn," a title given by Whitman in 1871 to a group of poems entitled in 1881 "Memories of President Lincoln." The original title was "When Lilacs Last in the Door-Yard Bloom'd." Whitman was at home with his mother in Brooklyn, N.Y., when the news came on the morning of April 15, 1865, that Lincoln had been assassinated the night before.

  • Nonatonic Harmonic Structures in Symphonies by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax Cameron Logan [email protected]

Doctoral Dissertations. 603. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/603 i Nonatonic Harmonic Structures in Symphonies by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax Cameron Logan, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2014 This study explores the pitch structures of passages within certain works by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax. A methodology that employs the nonatonic collection (set class 9-12) facilitates new insights into the harmonic language of symphonies by these two composers. The nonatonic collection has received only limited attention in studies of neo-Riemannian operations and transformational theory. This study seeks to go further in exploring the nonatonic‟s potential in forming transformational networks, especially those involving familiar types of seventh chords. An analysis of the entirety of Vaughan Williams‟s Fourth Symphony serves as the exemplar for these theories, and reveals that the nonatonic collection acts as a connecting thread between seemingly disparate pitch elements throughout the work. Nonatonicism is also revealed to be a significant structuring element in passages from Vaughan Williams‟s Sixth Symphony and his Sinfonia Antartica. A review of the historical context of the symphony in Great Britain shows that the need to craft a work of intellectual depth, simultaneously original and traditional, weighed heavily on the minds of British symphonists in the early twentieth century.

  • Music and Artistic Citizenship: in Search of a Swiss Identity
    253 Music and Artistic Citizenship: In Search of a Swiss Identity CARLO PICCARDI (Lugano) Although, for obvious reasons, one cannot speak of a “Swiss music” in terms of a unified, homogeneous culture or style, this does not mean there are no observable constants within the variety of its manifestations and its development over time. More than individual elaborations, historical con- ditions have had the greatest influence in determining the aesthetic prin- ciples which have imposed themselves; general behaviour and interests have outweighed particular interests, and the way the country has de- fined itself as a distinct community in relation to its neighbouring nations. This essay draws upon well-known studies to examine music, art and cul- ture from historical, social, civil and political perspectives in an attempt to critically re-examine the question. It will be shown how a certain Swiss musical identity is constituted with regard to its functional role in the country’s interests, as an expression of a collective dimension, as a regu- lating organisation of its integration within society, and as a permanent and recognised dialogue with the institutions. The fact that certain char- acteristics recur both in situations of conservative withdrawal and in those of opening to new influences, leads us to speak of a shared value in the diversity of attitudes. About the fact that Switzerland has been the location of choice for travellers and refugees from all over the continent, someone has said that this country has more often welcomed the people who have found com- fort and refuge here than it has welcomed the messages they have brought with them.
