J. 3 TOWN HALL, NEW YORK Friday Evening, February 22 JESUS MARIA SANROMA This will be the first New York recital by Jesus Maria Sanroma, the Spanish-American pianist recently returned from two years in Europe, where he has played with the highest suc- cess. His five appearances with the Boston Symphony Orchestra this January, disclose a pianist of extraordinary brilliance and artistry. The critics of New York thus describe his part in the remark- able performance of Toch's Con- certo under Koussevitzky's di- rection (January 3 and 5) : Lawrence Gilman, New York Herald-Tribune:—"It is not easy to imagine Toch's Concerto turned off more brilliantly, with an apter and more telling style, than Mr. Sanroma, the pianist of the evening, brought to it." Olin Downes, N.Y. Times:—"Mr. Koussevitzky was indeed fortunate in his soloist as the composer was fortunate in his conductor." Richard L. Stokes, N.Y. Evening World:—"The distinguished assistance of Jesus Maria Sanroma, a youthful pianist, with a torero's lithe slender- ness and deadly striking power of shoulder, resembled Vladimir Horowitz in charm and flare, controlled by the manliness and restraint of the Castilian." W. J. Henderson, N.Y. Sun:— "Senor Sanroma treated the piano part in a style which proclaimed him a virtuoso of the first rank in modernist music."

Serge Sergievich Prokofieff (Born at Sontsovka, Russia, April 24, 1891; now living) This symphony, begun in 1916, was completed in 1917. The first performance was at Leningrad by the orchestra now known as the State Orchestra. The first performance in the United States was at a concert of the Russian Symphony Orchestra in New York, in December, 1918. The symphony, scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, kettledrums, and strings, is dedicated to Boris Assafieff, who, as "Igor Gleboff," has written much about music. "The composer's idea in writing this work was to catch the spirit of Mozart and to put down that which, if he were living now, Mozart might put into his scores" (Felix Borowski). I.

  • Against Expression?: Avant-Garde Aesthetics in Satie's" Parade"
    Against Expression?: Avant-garde Aesthetics in Satie’s Parade A thesis submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC In the division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2020 By Carissa Pitkin Cox 1705 Manchester Street Richland, WA 99352 [email protected] B.A. Whitman College, 2005 M.M. The Boston Conservatory, 2007 Committee Chair: Dr. Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract The 1918 ballet, Parade, and its music by Erik Satie is a fascinating, and historically significant example of the avant-garde, yet it has not received full attention in the field of musicology. This thesis will provide a study of Parade and the avant-garde, and specifically discuss the ways in which the avant-garde creates a dialectic between the expressiveness of the artwork and the listener’s emotional response. Because it explores the traditional boundaries of art, the avant-garde often resides outside the normal vein of aesthetic theoretical inquiry. However, expression theories can be effectively used to elucidate the aesthetics at play in Parade as well as the implications for expressability present in this avant-garde work. The expression theory of Jenefer Robinson allows for the distinction between expression and evocation (emotions evoked in the listener), and between the composer’s aesthetical goal and the listener’s reaction to an artwork. This has an ideal application in avant-garde works, because it is here that these two categories manifest themselves as so grossly disparate.

Comme la musique et la danse, la lumière est une nécessité vitale et elle appartient à tous. Ce seront aussi les professeurs du Conservatoire qui seront mis en lumière lors de cette saison, notamment à l’occasion des cours du soir (dont certains seront retransmis en direct sur internet). La recherche occupera elle aussi une part importante de la programmation lors des nombreux concerts- lectures ou dans les colloques et autres soutenances de thèses organisés au Conservatoire.

  • Reducing the Term of Copyright in Unpublished Works (“2039” Rule)
    December 2014 Consultation on reducing the duration of copyright in unpublished (“2039”) works in accordance with section 170(2) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 About UK Music 1. UK Music is the umbrella body representing the collective interests of the UK’s commercial music industry, from songwriters and composers to artists and musicians, studio producers, music managers, music publishers, major and independent record labels, music licensing companies and the live music sector. 2. UK Music exists to represent the UK’s commercial music sector, to drive economic growth and promote the benefits of music to British society. The members of UK Music are listed in annex 1. General 3. We see no justification to change the 2039 Rule to the extent that it impacts music, whether it is for sound recordings or musicial works. The rule constitutes a compromise achieved in 1988 in order to bring the calculation of term for unpublished works in line with the one for published works in 2039. We note that Government has not provided any evidence in the Impact Assessment which would justify their preferred Option 2a with regards to sound recordings and is otherwise very limited for other forms of works. 4. There are some important general points about the Impact Assessment that we would wish to note: a) On page 1 it is stated that the works cannot be lawfully published if copyright owners cannot be identified. The Government has recently introduced an orphan works licensing scheme to permit lawful publication of such works. In addition the Impact Assessment does not consider whether works subject to the 2039 Rule could be cleared via an extended collective licence.

    Lili Boulanger (1893–1918) and World War I France: Mobilizing Motherhood and the Good Suffering By Anya B. Holland-Barry A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 2012 Date of final oral examination: 08/24/2012 This dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Susan C. Cook, Professor, Music Charles Dill, Professor, Music Lawrence Earp, Professor, Music Nan Enstad, Professor, History Pamela Potter, Professor, Music i Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my best creations—my son, Owen Frederick and my unborn daughter, Clara Grace. I hope this dissertation and my musicological career inspires them to always pursue their education and maintain a love for music. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation grew out of a seminar I took with Susan C. Cook during my first semester at the University of Wisconsin. Her enthusiasm for music written during the First World War and her passion for research on gender and music were contagious and inspired me to continue in a similar direction. I thank my dissertation advisor, Susan C. Cook, for her endless inspiration, encouragement, editing, patience, and humor throughout my graduate career and the dissertation process. In addition, I thank my dissertation committee—Charles Dill, Lawrence Earp, Nan Enstad, and Pamela Potter—for their guidance, editing, and conversations that also helped produce this dissertation over the years. My undergraduate advisor, Susan Pickett, originally inspired me to pursue research on women composers and if it were not for her, I would not have continued on to my PhD in musicology.

  • 4, 9 Et 12 OCTOBRE 2019
    lislaeger O ©F. ©F. 4, 9 et 12 OCTOBRE 2019 20h IL ÉTAIT UNE FOIS LE GROUPE DES SIX En 1917, la création à Paris du ballet Parade de Jean Cocteau, sur une musique d’Erik Satie, des décors et costumes de Pablo Picasso, provoqua un scandale retentissant, et fournit à Apollinaire l’occasion de créer un mot qui fera fortune : « sur-réaliste ». Satie se vit alors entouré de jeunes compositeurs auxquels la guerre offrait une occasion de se débarrasser des grandes autorités musicales du passé, de Wagner à Debussy. Se retrouvant dans un atelier d’artistes de Montparnasse, le 6 juin 1917, pour leur premier concert en commun, Louis Durey, Georges Auric et Arthur Honegger formèrent ainsi autour de Satie les « Nouveaux Jeunes », aux- quels se joindront plus tard Germaine Tailleferre et Francis Poulenc. L’année suivante, Jean Cocteau transcrivit le fruit de conversations avec ces com- positeurs dans Le Coq et l’Arlequin, manifeste provocateur dédié à Auric. Fâché contre Durey, trop ravélien à son goût, Satie avait démissionné des « Nouveaux Jeunes », et Cocteau allait prendre les affaires en main. En 1919, Darius Milhaud rentra de son long séjour au Brésil, et participa le 5 avril de cette année au premier concert avec les cinq autres. Le 16 janvier 1920, dans un article de Comœdia intitulé « Un ouvrage de Rimsky et un ouvrage de Cocteau : les Cinq Russes, les Six Français et Erik Satie », le com- positeur et « musicographe » Henri Collet inventait une expression qui connaîtra un succès inattendu, « Le groupe des Six », faisant allusion au « groupe des Cinq » compositeurs jadis rassemblés pour un renouveau de la musique russe autour de Mily Balakirev, avec César Cui, Rimski-Korskakov, Moussorgski et Borodine.
