Together with the group, she has played at festivals in Norway, Brazil and USA. 5 6 PROGRAM NOTES Norway and Brazil, friendship and cultural connections Chamber music is often regarded, by musicians, as one of the most enjoyable form of music-making. It brings the opportunity for a small group of people to play together and share their love for music playing. It is a very democratic setting, where each one takes active role in the artistic result: Each instrument is a solo- ist, by being at the same time unreplaceable and equal. Each mu- sical line is unique, and at the same time, the musical result is collective. The concert at the Brazilian Embassy in Oslo will bring a specially designed repertoire for a Trio formed by Clari- net, Violin/Viola and Cello performed by Brazilian players who live, currently, in three different countries: a clarinet player from Brazil, a violinist from Norway and a cellist from Sweden. With this singular chamber formation, we invite the public to enjoy the encounter of cultures that were historically bound by music. The program will feature a classical piece by Mozart, repre- senting the Austro-German influence in the formation of musi- cians from Northern Europe to Southern America in the nine- teen century. Next, selected pieces of Grieg and Nepomuceno will portray the search of new musical identities through beauti- ful lyrical tunes. Finally, there will be a sample of the legacy of Nepomuceno ideas, which unfolded into so many expressions, from the national modernism of Villa-Lobos to the emergence of new forms of Brazilian music genres, such as the choro pieces by Luiz Americano and Jacob do Bandolim. 6 Wolfang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg in 1756 and has a long list of musical work, from which is hard to assign a most influential one. The Divertimento in Eb Major, K. 563 for String Trio is a mature work, from 1788. Alfred Einstein writes about it in Mozart: His Character, His Work : "it is a true cham- ber-music work, and grew to such large proportions only be- cause it was intended to offer ... something special in the way of art, invention, and good spirits. ... Each instrument is primus in- ter pares, every note is significant, every note is a contribution to spiritual and sensuous fulfillment in sound." Einstein also claimed that it is "one of his noblest works." The work was espe- cially arranged for this concert for Clarinet, Viola and Cello. Mo- zart died in Viena in 1791. 7 8 Edvard Grieg was born in Bergen in 1843 and died at the same city in 1907. Since he was a small child, he was interested in Mu- sic, which he learned from his mother. Later, he became a pian- ist and a composer. He studied at the Music Conservatory of Leipzig and in Copenhagen. He played and composed in differ- ent countries. His production is very large and in many different genres. He composed for instrument ensembles, choirs, cham- ber and symphonic orchestra. For symphonic orchestra he com- posed the suite Peer Gynt: the famous piano concerto; Romance with Variations among others. There are also compositions for string orchestra, for chorus and orchestra, pieces for piano solo and for two pianos, and many songs for voice and piano with folkloric tunes. He composed music for piano inspired by the “halling”, which is a Norwegian dance (in binary rhythm) ac- companied by a special kind of violin, called Hardanger, with eight strings. He was the main representative of the nationalistic music movement in Norway. 8 Alberto Nepomuceno was born in 1864, in For- taleza, Ceará. He played violin and piano, com- posed a several works for voice, piano, chamber and orchestral formation, and promoted contemporary Brazilian composers. He lived through the transi- tion from Brazilian Impe- rial to Republican Re- gimes. He was active in the abolitionist and repub- lican movements, and played a central role in the transition from Romanti- cism to Modernism ex- pressions of Brazilian mu- sic by being the first one to compose lieds with lyrics in Portuguese. Between 1889 and 1895 he lived in Europe, where he met and married the Norwe- gian pianist Walborg Bang (1864-1946). She promoted the en- counter of Nepomuceno and Edvard Grieg, who hosted in his home the young couple after their marriage. Apparently, Grieg played significant role in Nepomuceno´s composition develop- ment. Back to Brazil, Nepomuceno started to integrate the Bra- zilian culture in his musical work. He catalogued and promoted the initial work of Heitor Villa-Lobos. Nepomuceno died in 1920 in Rio de Janeiro. The piece Prece was written in 1887, originally for cello and piano. 9 10 The connection : Norway became an independent country 83 years after Brazil, but their movements for a national identity were contemporary. Edvard Grieg and Alberto Nepomuceno were pioneers of those new ideas in their musical scenario. Norway and Brazil were historically and culturally bound by this encounter thanks to Walborg Bang. Heitor Villa- Lobos was born in Rio in 1887. With initial sup- port from Ne- pomuceno, he de- veloped one of the most genuine musical style within the Brazil- ian modernist and nationalist move- ment. However, different from Ne- pomuceno, Villa-Lobos took folklore as the main source into his work.

  • The Brazilian Art Song and the Non-Brazilian Portuguese Singer: A
    THE BRAZILIAN ART SONG AND THE NON-BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE SINGER: A PERFORMANCE GUIDE TO NINE SONGS BY ALBERTO NEPOMUCENO Rawlianne Riggs, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2019 APPROVED: Jeffrey Snider, Major Professor Carol Wilson, Committee Member Stephen Morscheck, Committee Member Molly Fillmore, Chair of Department of Vocal Studies Felix Olschofka, Interim Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Riggs, Rawlianne. The Brazilian Art Song and the Non-Brazilian Portuguese Singer: A Performance Guide to Nine Songs by Alberto Nepomuceno. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2019, 131 pp., 9 musical examples, 2 appendices, bibliography, 67 titles. Alberto Nepomuceno (1864-1920) is considered to be the father of the Brazilian art song. With a total of seventy songs, Nepomuceno revolutionized and established a new path to the Brazilian art song. His songs were innovative because they: (1) incorporated folk elements in his songs, (2) introduced Portuguese as a language acceptable in bel canto style and (3) established Brazilian songs in the tradition of the European vanguard. His approach influenced several composers including his young student Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959), one of the most significant Latin American composers. The purpose of this research is to inform singers and teachers about one of Brazil's most significant art song composers, and to provide the necessary tools--Brazilian Portuguese diction guide, IPA and poem translations of the selected songs--for effective and accurate performances and interpretations.

  • Alberto Beriot Nepomuceno (1864.1910)
    Alberto Beriot Nepomuceno (1864.1910) laura Hammack Chipe Cumberland College, KY, USA In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. the European model of composition was considered the ideal in Brazil. Alberto Nepomuceno's nationalistic philosophy brought him into conflict with the musical establishment there. A century later musical prejudice continues to loom across the conselVatory landscape in Brazil. Few of the great pioneer Nepomuceno's works are known, and even fewer are performed. This study explores Alberto Nepomuceno's life and work as a nationalistic voice. especially focusing on the area of song composition. It is my hope that such an important innovator may find more honor at home and abroad as a result of this research that will seek to address the needs of performers. voice teachers and vocal coaches. Alberto Nepomuceno's art songs are part of the literature of the Romantic period. and must be studied in that context if they are to be fully understood. The composer should be regarded as a pivotal figure in the history of Brazilian art music because he courageously championed the use of nationalistic material and the vernacular in his own compositions. He also provided leadership in the cultural community of Brazil to provide public concerts of other nationalistic composers such as Heitor Villa-lobos. The examination of this repertory demonstrates Nepomuceno's deliberate attempts to incorporate national elements in his compositions. As a resident of Brazil for fourteen years (1975-1989). 1 had both the privilege of studying with two Brazilian voice teachers and one Frenchman of long-standing residence.

    ALBERTO NEPOMUCENO E AS CANÇÕES FRANCESAS: COMENTÁRIOS SOBRE IL FLOTTE DANS L’AIR, PEÇA PARA PIANO E VOZ COM TEXTO DE HENRI PIAZZA Aline Soares Araújo (UFS)1 Valter Cesar Pinheiro (UFS)2 Resumo: Este trabalho, resultado de uma pesquisa cujo objeto é o conjunto de canções escritas por Alberto Nepomuceno sobre textos em língua francesa, tem por propósito apresentar algumas notas acerca de Il flotte dans l’air, peça para piano e voz composta em 1895 por Alberto Nepomuceno sobre um poema de Henri Piazza, editor de arte ítalo-francês. Precedem aos comentários sobre a obra algumas reflexões a respeito dos conceitos de música erudita e popular e um breve perfil do músico e do editor supramencionados. Palavras-chave: Alberto Nepomuceno; Henri Piazza; canção brasileira; relações Brasil-França. Introdução Estas notas resultam de uma investigação, ainda em andamento, derivada do interesse em comum de dois professores de áreas diferentes – um de Letras, outro de Música – pela obra de Alberto Nepomuceno. Por sua importância, um marco para a consolidação da Canção Brasileira de Câmara, e pelo diálogo que estabelece com a produção musical francesa de sua época, estabeleceram-se como corpus inicial de análise as canções em língua francesa do compositor. Foram identificadas doze canções cujo texto é escrito em francês, das quais, em um primeiro momento, se selecionaram quatro, a saber, aquelas cujas letras são atribuídas a Henri Piazza. Apresentar comentários acerca de uma delas, Il flotte dans l’air, peça pouco mencionada nos escritos sobre o compositor brasileiro, é o objetivo do presente texto. Canção Brasileira de Câmara Antes de abordar a Canção Brasileira de Câmara, é preciso refletir sobre os conceitos de Música Erudita e Canção.

Em si mesma, eíeito do material reunido, retlete a contribuição do artista definitivamente situado no quadro geral da cultura brasileira. Compositor e regente, pesquisador e intér- prete, pôde atender — em consequência da sensibilidade e da formação — a uma das exigências mais fortes de nossa vida social: foi, em verdade, um dos iniciadores da pesquisa sobre o folclore musical brasileiro. A Biblioteca Nacional, que guarda grande parte do seu trabalho, não poupou esforços para, nesta exposição, concentrar a sua obra completa. Decisiva, porém, a colaboração da Universidade do Ceará — tão responsável pela exposição quanto a Biblioteca Nacional — que, através do interêsse do Reitor Antônio Martins Filho, pôs a assis- tí-la o professor Aloysio de Alencar Pinto. Inúmeras peças aue a compõem de bibliotecas de entidades e coleções particulares, demonstram o carinho com que se preservam a obra e o nome do ex-diretor do Instituto Nacional de Música. A Biblioteca agradece, finalmente, a participação da família do compositor representada por seu neto Sérgio Nepomuceno Alvim Correia. Em introdução crítica, especialmente escrita para o catálogo, o proí. Mozart de Araujo não justifica apenas a exposição ao reerguer as principais atividades do compositor.
