    Josef Tal on the Cusp of Israeli Statehood, or, The Simultaneity of Adjacency and Oppositionality Assaf Shelleg Acta Musicologica, Volume 91, Number 2, 2019, pp. 146-167 (Article) Published by International Musicological Society For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/741611 Access provided at 28 Nov 2019 16:05 GMT from Tel Aviv University i i i i Josef Tal on the Cusp of Israeli Statehood, or, The Simultaneity of Adjacency and Oppositionality Assaf Shelleg Jerusalem To the amateur composer who comes to this country with an inheritance of Russian of Balkan folk tunes, the absorption of the Oriental Jewish and Arabian music is a gain. The traditionalism of his original country receives a new accent. To the professional composer whose material is the European art-music, the Jewish and Arab-Palestinian folklore opens up a fertile and rejuvenating world. A few will attach certain ourishes, some popular syl- lables to the iron structure of modern art-language; in other words they write a kind of “quotation-music” with wrong notes.1 [Sharett’s music] demonstrates neither melodic templates in their conven- tional form nor harmonies using parallel fourths and fths mixed with seconds—a falsied acoustic substitute; nor is there any articial immer- sion in the past in the form of shallow mimicry of biblical chants. We must not follow the easy path of success, but rather aspire to achieve in our spiritual creation what we had accomplished politically.2 The statements “‘quotation music’ with wrong notes,” “fal- sied acoustics,” and “shallow mimicry of biblical chants” could have equally come from either of the composers, Stefan Wolpe or Josef Tal.

  • A Librettist's Reflections on Opera in Our Times
    Israel Eliraz A LIBRETTIST'S REFLECTIONS ON OPERA IN OUR TIMES [1] Pierre Boulez may have mourned the death of the opera and suggested setting fire to opera houses (he has repented since and has even written in this rnusical form himsel~, but the Old Lady is still going strong. She is no Ionger as regal and as much admired as in the 18th century, nor is she as popular and vital as she was in mid-I9th century for bold young rivals have entered the arena: film, radio, musicals and television. But reviewing the new operas written in this century, from MOSES UND ARON by Schoenberg and WOZZECK by Berg, to works by Luigi Dallapiccola, lldebrando Pizzetti, Werner Egk, Marcel Delannoy and others, one is taken by surprise by the abundance, versatility and ingenuity in musical, theatrical and ideological terms, of modern opera. What the rnusical avant -garde considered a defunct creature, a 'dinosaur' of sorts (this strange animal is over 370 years old), became, to their dismay, a phoenix redux. At tirnes it metarnorphosed into political drarna (Weiii-Brecht); at others it returned to the oratory form (Stravinsky, Honegger, Debussy), and on still other occasions it turns upon itself with laudable irony, as in Mauricio Kagel's STAATSTHEATER. Anylhing can happen in an opera, all is allowed and, if one rnay venture to express some optirnisrn - which is not easy in our province - it still has some surprises in store for us. [2] Music Iovers have been accustorned to think that it is in the nature of opera to address the 'larger issues'- biblical, rnylhological, historical, national.

Core developments are followed beginning with at the Staatliche Akademische Hochschule fur Music the founding generation including Joseph Tal, Tzvi Avni and in Berlin. Among his teachers was Paul Hindemith Yizhak Sadai, continuing with the second and third who, he recalls, ‘pointed me in the direction of elec- generations of musicians and researchers, living in Israel and the United States. The institutional and political dynamics of tronic music’ (Tal 2003), specifically to the studio of the field in this country are explored, with a focus on the engineer Friedrich Trautwein, best known as inventor challenges of building an audience and institutional support, of the Trautonium, a synthesizer prototype created in as well as prospects for the future.

  • Josef Tal (Israel)
    Josef Tal (IsRAEL) Recently I read a music critic who praised the courage of a young composer who dared to make use of ordinary triads. Are we to infer from this that the application of the serial technique probably means cowardice and electronic music no less than fraud? The informative function of music appears to be in great confusion. The instrument itself is endowed with aesthetic and ethical value; but that which it formulates is neither linguistically conceived, nor as a result of this, linguistically comprehended. Now I do not believe that we are living in a time of crisis. On the contrary: we are extremely privileged to take part in the productive processes of regeneration of dormant forces, and it is only too understandable that this tremendous task should Iead to errors and missteps. None of us is completely sure of the ground-though the philosophy of art may, here and there, shed light on obscurity. All in all the outcome is determined by the unique nature of the organism. This organism develops itself by trial and error. Attentive listening and practical results will bring us further than the careful separation of science and art which is a contradictio in adjecto, since there exists no true science without human values and these again are formed by the awareness of underlying facts. Here then is the point of departure for my theme. As for practice, several points may be taken for discussion. The technical possibilities of the slowly evolving electronic musical instrument Iead the imagination of the composer into new ways.

The Early Medieval Music (500-1150). i. Early chant traditions Chant (or plainsong) is a monophonic sacred form which represents the earliest known music of the Christian Church. The simplest, syllabic chants, in which each syllable is set to one note, were probably intended to be sung by the choir or congregation, while the more florid, melismatic examples (which have many notes to each syllable) were probably performed by soloists. Plainchant melodies (which are sometimes referred to as a “drown,” are characterized by the following: A monophonic texture; For ease of singing, relatively conjunct melodic contour (meaning no large intervals between one note and the next) and a restricted range (no notes too high or too low); and Rhythms based strictly on the articulation of the word being sung (meaning no steady dancelike beats). Chant developed separately in several European centers, the most important being Rome, Hispania, Gaul, Milan and Ireland. Chant was developed to support the regional liturgies used when celebrating Mass. Each area developed its own chant and rules for celebration. In Spain and Portugal, Mozarabic chant was used, showing the influence of North Afgican music. The Mozarabic liturgy survived through Muslim rule, though this was an isolated strand and was later suppressed in an attempt to enforce conformity on the entire liturgy.
