Surrounded by a shower of frivolous persiflage, the barriers which separate men and nations form the tragic central theme of the work which, despite its veneer, is extremely timely ... P.C. and A.T. The Brillig Requiem uses the text of "Jabberwock" from Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson). In the Center Piece the audience becomes a functioning part of the performing group. Portions of this movement are recorded at the time of the performance and played back in the final Ending Piece as nostalgic memories of a sort ... A.K.R. The score for Music for a Celebration indicates that it is written "For anyone who wants to Celebrate" ... P.C. and A.T. and A.K.R. In Cassiopeia, graphic notation has been used by the composer to design a work in which the visual element is juxtaposed with the aural. Within a prescribed framework, one individual performance is allo,ved considerable latitude through aleatoric selection ... P.C. and A.T. Note: Since Cassiopeia will be performed in various locations in and around the Music Building Com­ plex, the audience should feel free to rise and circulate in order to experience various portions of the work. PETER CORAGGIO, upon completion of his Master of Science Degree at the Juilliard School of Music, continued studies in electronic music composition with Vladimir Ussachevsky at the Columbia­ Princeton Electronic Music Center. Since joining the University of Hawaii Music Faculty in 1965, he has composed music for numerous theater productions, films and ballets, has designed sound environ­ ments for light shows and has presented numerous lecture demonstrations on today's music. He is presently active in studying the interplay between the audio and the visual senses. ALLEN TRUBITT received his degrees in music from Roosevelt University and Indiana University. He studied composition with Karel Jirak and Bernhard Heiden. Currently on the faculty of the Uni­ versity of Hawaii Music Department, his compositions have been heard in previous Festivals of the Arts of This Century. ARMAND RUSSELL, Chairman of the University of Hawaii Music Department, studied composi­ tion at the University of Washington with George McKay and John Verrall and at Eastman School of Music with Bernard Rogers and Howard Hanson. In 1968 he spent several months in Mexico City and Yucatan composing and writing. One of the works composed at that time was a chamber dance-opera, The Penguin Dragon. TOSHI ICHIYANAGI was born in Kobe, Japan, where he studied with Chieko Hara and Tomojiro Ikenouchi. He has also worked in the United States with John Cage. His compositions are widely per­ formed throughout the world in festivals of new music and include solo piano pieces, chamber works for traditional Japanese instruments, tape music, Iive electronic music, film scores, and sound environ­ ments. His works are recorded by Columbia and Victor (Japan). BARNEY CHILDS, a Rhodes Scholar and Ph.D. in English, is a composer, poet and literary editor. He has studied composition with Aaron Copland, Carlos Chavez and Elliot Carter and has received many awards and commissions from organizations in the United States, Canada and England and has published many avant garde works.

Da capo – literally means ‘from the head’ in Italian; in musical application this means to return to the beginning of the music. As a form (i.e. ‘da capo’ aria), it refers to a style in which a middle section, usually in a different tonal area or key, is followed by an restatement of the opening section: ABA.

  • The Baroque. 3.3: Vocal Music: the Da Capo Aria and Other Types of Arias
    UNIT 3: THE BAROQUE. 3.3: VOCAL MUSIC: THE DA CAPO ARIA AND OTHER TYPES OF ARIAS EXPLANATION 3.3: THE DA CAPO ARIA AND OTHER TYPES OF ARIAS. THE ARIA The aria in the operas is the part sung by the soloist. It is opposed to the recitative, which uses the recitative style. In the arias the composer shows and exploits the dramatic and emotional situations, it becomes the equivalent of a soliloquy (one person speach) in the spoken plays. In the arias, the interpreters showed their technique, they showed off, even in excess, which provoked a lot of criticism from poets and musicians. They were often sung by castrati: soprano men undergoing a surgical operation so as not to change their voice when they grew up. One of them, the most famous, Farinelli, acquired international fame for his great technique and vocal expression. He lived twenty-five years in Spain. THE DA CAPO ARIA The Da Capo aria is a vocal work in three parts or sections (tripartite form). It began to be used in the Baroque in operas, oratorios and cantatas. The form is A - B - A, the last part being a repetition of the first. 1. The first section is a complete musical entity, that is to say, it could be sung alone and musically it would have complete meaning since it ends in the tonic. The tonic is the first grade or note of a scale. 2. The second section contrasts with the first section in tonality, texture, mood and sometimes in tempo (speed). 3.

  • Ternary Form Ternary Form Is a Three-Part Form
    music theory for musicians and normal people by toby w. rush Ternary Form ternary form is a three-part form. rather than using three completely different sections, most pieces in ternary form consist of two sections, the first of which is reprised. in ternary form, the a section appears both at the beginning and at the end; like binary form, the b section is contrasting in character. the reprised a section may be an exact repeat of the first A, or it may be slightly different, but the of A B A length the a sections should be similar. ternary form this is different from rounded binary, where the reprised a section (which we called a prime) is significantly shorter than the first a section. Fine Da capo the minuet and trio is a variation on al Fine ternary form used for instrumental music. instead of writing out the reprised a section, the score will place the minuet instruction “da capo al fine” after the trio b section, which means to return to the A B beginning, play through the a section, minuet & trio form and end the piece. this same form is commonly used in baroque and classical opera, where it is called a da capo aria. In both minuet & trio and da capo aria, any repeats are ignored when playing through the reprised a section. it’s worth mentioning that there is a common form that is descended from minuet and trio form: the military march form favored by john philip trio sousa and other american fanfare march composers.

  • Repetition and Codas
    Repetition and codas Tremolo A rapidly repeated note. If the tremolo is between two notes, then they are played in rapid alternation. The number of slashes through the stem (or number of diagonal bars between two notes) indicates the frequency at which the note is to be repeated (or alternated). As shown here, the note is to be repeated at a demisemiquaver (thirty-second note) rate. Repeat signs Enclose a passage that is to be played more than once. If there is no left repeat sign, the right repeat sign sends the performer back to the start of the piece or the nearest double bar. Simile marks Denote that preceding groups of beats or measures are to be repeated. In the examples here, the first usually means to repeat the previous measure, and the second usually means to repeat the previous two measures. Volta brackets (1st and 2nd endings, or 1st- and 2nd-time bars) A repeated passage is to be played with different endings on different playings; it is possible to have more than two endings (1st, 2nd, 3rd ...). Da capo (lit. "From top") Tells the performer to repeat playing of the music from its beginning. This is usually followed by al fine (lit. "to the end"), which means to repeat to the word fine and stop, or al coda (lit. "to the coda (sign)"), which means repeat to the coda sign and then jump forward. Dal segno (lit. "From the sign") Tells the performer to repeat playing of the music starting at the nearest segno. This is followed by al fine or al coda just as with da capo.
