ABSTRACT Ernst Mahle was bom in Germany, in 1929, but has lived in Brazil since 1951, where he is one of the most important composers of his generation. Besides his work as a composer, he has been developing a very important pedagogical work in Piracicaba, a city in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Influenced by the teachings of Hans Joachim Koellreutter, Mahle, together with other influential art supporters from that city, founded the Escola de Musica de Piracicaba, in 1953. Mahle believes that it is very important to teach music when children are young. He also encourages practice in musical groups from the earliest stages of development. Mahle has written a great body of compositions for many instruments, at all levels of difficulty, many of which are dedicated to his students. The viola compositions reflect the didactic work Mahle has been developing at the Escola de Musica de Piracicaba, as most part of them were written for the students. Mahle’s idiomatic writing shows his knowledge of many instruments, allowing his compositions to be very attractive to the performer. Mahle has a neoclassic style and he combines in his compositions forms from European classical music (sonata/sonatina, concerto/concertino) with elements of Brazilian music such as the variety of rhythms and strong accents as well as the use of folk songs and modal scales.

INTRODUCTION This project proposes to discuss works for the viola by Brazilian composer Ernst Mahle. The focus of the study is to identify the idiomatic and pedagogical elements found in these works and cite the evolution of these influences in Mahle’s background. The monograph will also discuss his teaching and his work as the founder and director of the Escola de Musica de Piracicaba (EMP) in Brazil, since they are directly related to his work as a composer. Ernst Mahle was bom January 3,1929, in

KNABB SPRING 2015 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Music Education with honors in Music Education Reviewed and approved* by the following: Robert D. Gardner Associate Professor of Music Education Thesis Supervisor Ann C. Clements Associate Professor of Music Education Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT What type of music do you think your students are listening to? For students that do not normally listen to classical how can we keep them interested, motivated, and involved in music long after they graduate? Not every student will go on to become the next Yo-Yo Ma or Itzhak Perlman or be a classically trained violinist at Julliard. We should show them the other genres and styles they can perform on their instruments besides only playing classical music. There are many different styles of music that you can teach: jazz, rock, fiddle, blues, Celtic, mariachi, gypsy, pop and movie soundtracks to name a few. There are also many different subgenres within the genre and many combinations of styles called fusions. By teaching eclectic styles of music student will learn that there are many different styles that they can play on their instrument. Students will be aware that they can play in a rock band, jazz ensemble or create their own band to perform any style of music that interests them. It is important for teachers to understand the difference in eclectic styles and be able to teach different genres and styles.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This thesis is a contribution towards an historically informed understanding of contemporary music making amongst Roma in Ostrava, Czech Republic. It also challenges, from a theoretical perspective, conceptions of relationships between music and discourses of ‘race’. My research is based on fieldwork conducted in Ostrava, between August 2003 and July 2004 and East Slovakia in July 2004, as well as archival research in Ostrava and Vienna. These fieldwork experiences compelled me to explore music and ideas of ‘race’ through discourses of diaspora in order to assist in conceptualising and interpreting Romani music making in Ostrava. The vast majority of Roma in Ostrava are post-World War II emigres or descendants of emigres from East Slovakia. In contemporary Ostrava, most Roma live on the socio­ economic margins and are most often regarded as a separate ‘race’ with a separate culture from the dominant population.

Email: mais populares junto à população cultora de tal forma literária – sertão nordestino e parte da <[email protected]>. Região Norte do Brasil – desde o final do século XIX até o presente. Há no trabalho o pres- suposto de que a Literatura de Cordel representa, muito mais que o trabalho criativo dos seus autores, as práticas vigentes no grupo social que a origina. Assim, à procura de menções a instrumentos musicais, este estudo detém-se em alguns deles, pela frequência e relevância da sua caracterização: viola caipira, violão, violino, bandolim, rabeca, guitarra elétrica e piano. Instrumentos aparentemente próximos como a viola e o violão são vistos de formas muito dis- tintas pela população considerada. A rabeca, instrumento popular, poucas vezes é citada. Outros instrumentos, como violino, bandolim, piano e guitarra elétrica, são retratados como instrumentos urbanos e menos conhecidos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Literatura de Cordel. Instrumentos musicais. Cantoria. Viola caipira. Luteria. ABSTRACT: Based on a collection of 2340 poems, the present article aims to explore the iden- tity of musical instruments considered most popular by the printed Literatura de Cordel (Cordel Literature) in the countryside of Northeastern and Northern regions of Brazil, from the end of the 19th Century to present days.

  • Django Reinhardt: the Journey of the Gypsy King
    Django Reinhardt: The Journey of the Gypsy King [Minor Swing ] [Black Slide] Introduction: The ideas of art music and folk music have always been separate and somewhat black and white. The virtuosity of performance and the complexity of composition have largely defined art music—just as simplicity and relatability have done that for folk music. To combine the two styles of music for creation’s sake is not a new musical idea, but historically the end product generally has seemed to privilege and to lean more towards art music rather than folk. Django Reinhardt, however, is one of the first musicians to ever take it in the other direction, elevating folk influences to be on a par with classical ones. His ability to take simple rhythms and melody lines and add complex virtuosic guitar improvisation over those melodies are what make the gypsy style so innovative, aesthetically rewarding, accessible, and historically influential. His contributions in gypsy jazz have left their mark on other styles of music such as blues, rock and roll, bluegrass and other jazz styles. Furthermore, if we were to mention the greatest guitar players of the last century, we would have to include Django Reinhardt on the list. 1:15 History of Django and his disability: As with most European gypsies, the Reinhardt family was constantly on the move. Therefore, the story of Django Reinhardt's birth is somewhat unclear. However, we do know that he was born somewhere near a little town called Liberchies in Belgium in a gypsy encampment on January 23 rd , 1910. He was named Jean-Baptiste Reinhardt, and as with most gypsy children, he was given a nickname.

The Cordel Literature is known for representing the views of the social group from which it is originated rather than the creative work of its poets/writers. In search of musical instruments mentioned in the text, some of them were selected due to frequency and relevance of the context found: e.g. the Brazilian viola (a five course guitar), the violão (the six string guitar), the violin, the mandolin, the rabeca (Brazilian fiddle), the electric guitar and the piano. The violão and the Brazilian viola, which are similar in shape, are seen by that population in quite different ways. The fiddle is a popular instrument, but had only a few mentions. Other instruments like the violin, the mandolin, the piano and the electric guitar are described as urban instruments, thus less known in that context. Keywords Cordel Literature, Musical Instruments, Cantoria, Brazilian Viola, Lutherie.
