  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Since its launch in 1982, the Marco Polo label has for over twenty years sought to draw attention to unexplored repertoire.␣ Its main goals have been to record the best music of unknown composers and the rarely heard works of well-known composers.␣ At the same time it originally aspired, like Marco Polo himself, to bring something of the East to the West and of the West to the East. For many years Marco Polo was the only label dedicated to recording rare repertoire.␣ Most of its releases were world première recordings of works by Romantic, Late Romantic and Early Twentieth Century composers, and of light classical music. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again, particularly those whose careers were affected by political events and composers who refused to follow contemporary fashions.␣ Of particular interest are the operas by Richard Wagner’s son Siegfried, who ran the Bayreuth Festival for so many years, yet wrote music more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck. To Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich, Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan), and Bruder Lustig, which further explores the mysterious medieval world of German legend is now added Der Heidenkönig (The Heathen King).␣ Other German operas included in the catalogue are works by Franz Schreker and Hans Pfitzner. Earlier Romantic opera is represented by Weber’s Peter Schmoll, and by Silvana, the latter notable in that the heroine of the title remains dumb throughout most of the action.

  • Oboe in Oxford Music Online
    14.3.2011 OboeinOxfordMusicOnline Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Oboe article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/40450 Oboe (Fr. hautbois ; Ger. Oboe ; It. oboe ). Generic term in the system of Hornbostel and Sachs for an aerophone with a double (concussion) reed (for detailed classification see AEROPHONE ). The name is taken from that of the principal treble double-reed instrument of Western art music (see §II below). I. General 1. Oboes. The AULOS of ancient Greece may sometimes have had a double reed, and some kind of reed aerophone was known in North Africa in pre-Islamic times. Instruments of the SURNĀY type became established with the spread of the Arab empire around the end of the first millennium CE; they were possibly a synthesis of types from Iran, Mesopotamia, Syria and Asia Minor. From there the instrument, then used in a military role, spread into conquered areas and areas of influence: to India, and later, under the Ottoman empire, to Europe (around the time of the fifth crusade, 1217–21; there may already have been bagpipes with double reeds there) and further into Asia (to China in the 14th century). As the instrument spread, it came to be made of local materials and fashioned according to local preferences in usage, shape and decoration: the ŚAHNĀĪ of north India has a flared brass bell; the SARUNAI of Sumatra has a palm leaf reed and a bell of wood or buffalo horn; the ALGAITA of West Africa is covered with leather and has four or five finger-holes.

  • Suite Jurijev Krug for the Opera Zvezdani Grad By
    New Sound 42, II/2013 Article received on 09 November 2013 Article accepted on 30 November 2013 UDC SUITE JURIJEV KRUG FOR THE OPERA ZVEZDANI GRAD BY DRAGANA JOVANOVIû; CHAMBER OPERA KO JE UBIO PRINCEZU MOND? BY TATJANA MILOEVIû; CHAMBER OPERA PETERSBURG BY BRANKA POPOVIû Rado Mitroviü University of Arts in Belgrade Faculty of Music Department of Musicology On some elements of the narrative structure of the works Abstract: Three works by contemporary Serbian female composers, although disparate as to the manner of their realization, do have some similarities. An affinity can be per- ceived by analysing the poetical planes supporting the textual bases of these compositions, as well as their relationships with the musical component. The intersections can be found in the specific attitude towards the subject and the subjects identity, problematized in the librettos, as well as in the issue of the time/space dichotomy within the narrative. Key words: Dragana Jovanoviü, Tatjana Miloeviü, Branka Popoviü, chamber opera, Dragan ivadinov, postgravity art, Morian Lagartia, Andrei Bely Chamber operas Ko je ubio princezu Mond? [Who Killed Princess Mond?] by Tatjana Miloeviü and Petersburg by Branka Popoviü, as well as the suite Jurijev krug [Yuris Circle] for the opera Zvezdani grad [Star City] by Dragana Jovanoviü, are works with divergent poetical foundations. The creative im- pulses and the basic conceptual ideas are different, and hence, naturally, the re- alizations of these compositions are disparate. However, one can register certain points within the works in which the poetical procedures of the three composers become closer. In that respect, what is evident is the similarity between certain components of the librettos, as well as their musical treatment.

  • Orchestration
    ORCHESTRATION BY CECIL FORSYTH M.ATEdin. MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED ST. MARTIN'S STREET, LONDON & STAINER AND BELL, LIMITED S8 BERNERS STREET, LONDON 1914 PREFACE. In this book an attempt is made first, to describe our modern orches- tral instruments, where they sprang from, how they developed, and what they are to-day; next, to trace the types of music which have been reflected in these constructional changes and, in especial, the types most familiar since Beethoven's time. Without some knowledge on these points the student is working in the dark. He is like a Lascar turned loose in a dynamo-house. It is true that one may show him the button, and, if he presses it, he will get a terrific blaze of light. But what is behind the button ? How were the wires laid ? Why is one type of engine better than another for its own purpose? How is the shop to be run in the most economical way 1 All these questions call for answers, and, on the musical side of the analogy, the answers are not difficult to find.
