BACKGROUND The present document was elaborated during the years 2013–2014, following the digital transfer of the Roberto Gerhard Tape Collection (an AHRC-funded project carried out in 2012 by Prof. Monty Adkins, Carlos Duque and myself under the auspices of the University of Huddersfield).! This catalogue has grown out of the necessity to present the results of that undertaking in an ordered and accessible manner." Its main contribution is to provide a systematic documentation of the totality of both Gerhard’s open-reel tapes (which are part of Roberto Gerhard’s Archive held at Cambridge University Library) and the master preservation files produced as a result of the aforementioned re-mediation project. As such it provides, in a single document, a key to both the physical archive and the digital repository and serves as a bridge between both corpuses. This document was elaborated taking the recommendations of the International Association for Recorded Sound (IASA) as a reference framework.# The structure of the present catalogue closely follows that of the original inventory of the collection completed during the years 2007–08.$ During that first inventory I 1 A discussion of the conceptual and technical challenges posed by the remediation Gerhard’s open- reel tape collection was presented by the author at the Conference of the International Association for Recorded Sound (IASA), New Delhi, 12 October 2012: Gregorio García-Karman, Monty Adkins, and Carlos Duque, “The Restoration Project of Roberto Gerhard’s Tape Collection” (presented at the Conference of the International Association for Recorded Sound, New Delhi, 2012). 2 The elaboration of this catalogue would have been a logical follow-up of the project of the digitisation of Gerhard’s tapes but funding was exhausted before this work could be undertaken. 3 Mary Miliano, ed., The IASA Cataloguing Rules. A Manual for the Description of Sound Recordings and Related Audiovisual Media (Stockholm: IASA, 1999), http://www.iasa-web.org/cataloguing-rules. 4 See the two research reports submitted as supporting materials associated with the publication Gregorio García-Karman, “Roberto Gerhard’s Tape Collection: The Electronic Music,” in Proceedings of 1st International Roberto Gerhard Conference (Huddersfield: University of Huddersfield, 2010), 107–22. documented the external appearance of the tapes—including annotations on containers and reels—in a Filemaker database purposely tailored to this end. In 2012, the original database was extended to accommodate the data collected as a result of the digital transfers of the tapes. During this second stage, the original metadata corresponding to the external description of the tapes was revised, technical metadata was incorporated to the database, and preliminary notes on the contents of the tapes were taken. The current catalogue represents a profound revision of this groundwork. Following the project of the digitization of Gerhard’s tapes, comprehensive editorial work on the metadata collected was undertaken. Moreover, supported by the systematic audition of the tapes and external documentary sources,% a significant amount of editorial comments were incorporated. Besides, during this third stage, a significant reprogramming of the database was carried out in order to format the raw metadata according to IASA specifications. Embracing the terminology set forth by the IASA cataloguing rules,& the catalogue design uses a multilevel approach with analytical features. In this regard, the information within each record is organized hierarchically in three different areas represented by three levels of indentation. The first level is concerned with the physical description of the resource being catalogued (the external appearance of the container, dimensions, contents, etc.) and includes a full transcript of the external annotations on containers and foreign objects. The second level of the hierarchy consists of an analytic description of the reel itself. To this end, the external evidence on containers and reels was contrasted with the contents recognized from audition as well as the forensic examination of analogue carriers and digital objects. The information for each reel is structured into the following fields: title proper, statement of responsibility, place and dates (production / publication / broadcast), track format,' 5 For instance, the cross-correlation of Gerhard’s tapes with the BBC broadcast indexes. See also Gregorio García-Karman, “Roberto Gerhard’s BBC Sound Compositions,” in The Roberto Gerhard Companion, ed. Monty Adkins and Michael Russ (Aldershot (England): Ashgate, 2013), 307–47. 6 Miliano, The IASA Cataloguing Rules. A Manual for the Description of Sound Recordings and Related Audiovisual Media. 7 As determined upon direct examination of the preservation master files and, in some instances, upon inspection of the analogue carrier with a magnetic viewer. 2 reel dimensions, and Reel ID / name of preservation master session (see below). Similarly to the previous level of description, a full transcript of the annotations on the reel (or directly on the tape) is provided in the form of comments. This information is supplemented by editorial contributions such as, e.g., extended statements of responsibility, cross-references to other items in the collection and external sources, observations as regards to tape contents, and technical notes (transfer problems, quality of the recordings, etc.). The third and last level in the hierarchy is concerned with the digital objects. Care was taken to construct a visually comprehendible presentation of the number of takes per session and the channels (mono / stereo) bound to each transfer. Duration, transfer speed, transfer machine, head-block,( and operator) are specified for each preservation master file. 2. NAMING PATTERNS Each resource in the Gerhard Tape Collection is assigned a unique identifier. This nomenclature is consistently used across the physical and digital domains and is expressive of the hierarchical relations among objects. Unique identifiers are formed by appending alphanumeric characters to the Root ID. 2.1 Physical Objects 2.1.1 Root ID The Root ID is a unique string that represents a resource (physical entity) in the collection. Entities may range from, e.g., an empty tin, to complex multi-part objects, such as, e.g., a group of tapes strung together on a spike (Figure 1). To each Root ID corresponds a catalogue entry and a record in the main table of the database: Root ID Description CUL_OR01_Gerhard_0001 the first object in the collection 8 Full-track (FT), half-track (HT) and quarter-track (QT) head-blocks were used to transfer of the tapes. 9 Carlos Duque (CD) and myself (GGK). 3 Figure 1. CUL_OR01_Gerhard_0559 2.1.2 Reel ID Each catalogue entry can be associated with none, one, or more than one open reel tapes. Open reel tapes are identified by a Reel ID, adding two additional digits to the Root ID: Reel ID Description CUL_OR01_Gerhard_000101 The first reel of the first item in the collection 2.2 Digital Objects Names of digital objects are subsequently derived from the corresponding Reel ID by the addition of suffixes. 2.2.1 ProTools sessions A ProTools session exists for each open reel tape in the Gerhard collection. Session names are directly derived from the corresponding Reel ID: Reel ID ProTools session CUL_OR01_Gerhard_000101 CUL_OR01_Gerhard_000101_pres.ptx 4 2.2.2 Preservation master files Each ProTools session can accommodate one or more preservation master files. The following nomenclature is used to uniquely identify each audio file: CUL_OR01_Gerhard_[ID*]_pres.wav *ID = Root ID Reel ID Channel ID Take ID Characters XXXX XX X XX Range 0001–9999 01–99 L / R / M 01–99 A tape transferred with a full-track head will produce a single (mono) preservation master file: CUL_OR01_Gerhard_000101M01_pres.wav Root ID Reel ID Channel ID Take ID ID 0001 01 M 01 A tape transferred with a half-track head will result in two (mono) preservation master files: CUL_OR01_Gerhard_000101L01_pres.wav Root ID Reel ID Channel ID Take ID ID 0001 01 L 01 CUL_OR01_Gerhard_000101R01_pres.wav Root ID Reel ID Channel ID Take ID ID 0001 01 R 01 A ProTools session may contain one or more different takes.!*

  • Conducting Studies Conference 2016
    Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24th – 26th June St Anne’s College University of Oxford Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24-26 June, St Anne’s College WELCOME It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to St Anne’s College and the Oxford Conducting Institute Conducting Studies Conference 2016. The conference brings together 44 speakers from around the globe presenting on a wide range of topics demonstrating the rich and multifaceted realm of conducting studies. The practice of conducting has significant impact on music-making across a wide variety of ensembles and musical contexts. While professional organizations and educational institutions have worked to develop the field through conducting masterclasses and conferences focused on professional development, and academic researchers have sought to explicate various aspects of conducting through focussed studies, there has yet to be a space where this knowledge has been brought together and explored as a cohesive topic. The OCI Conducting Studies Conference aims to redress this by bringing together practitioners and researchers into productive dialogue, promoting practice as research and raising awareness of the state of research in the field of conducting studies. We hope that this conference will provide a fruitful exchange of ideas and serve as a lightning rod for the further development of conducting studies research.

Kritiker bewerten seine Musik auf sehr unterschiedliche Art und Weise. Einige halten seine Musik für zu altmodisch und zu sehr den Traditionen der Tonalität verbunden, andere bewerten sie als zu modern und schwer zugänglich, an Atonalität grenzend. Aber wie soll man Brittens Musik betrachten? Setzt sie die Traditionen der romantischen Komponisten des 19. Jahrhunderts fort? Ja, dies ist der Fall, jedoch bringt Britten diese Konventionen an ihre Grenzen. Ist Brittens Musik atonal? Obwohl manche Kritiker der Ansicht sind, dass seine Kompositionen abstrakt sind, bleibt er den etablierten Konventionen der Musik doch treu. Nicht zu bestreiten ist, dass Brittens gesangliche Kompositionen in ihrer Poesie nur schwer zu übertreffen sind. Er vertonte Gedichte von bedeutenden Dichtern wie Arthur Rimbaud, Victor Hugo, Paul Verlaine, Henry Longfellow, William Shakespare, Edith Sitwell, Emily Brontë und William Blake. Alles in allem vertonte Britten mehr als 300 Gedichte von nicht weniger als neunzig Dichtern.

  • The Early Works of Roberto Gerhard
    9 ‘Un Català Mundial’: The early works of Roberto Gerhard Mark E. Perry ABSTRACT In the evaluation of the Catalan-born composer’s total oeuvre, the early works of Roberto Gerhard reflect the shifting cultural discourse within Catalan nationalism at the beginning of the twentieth century. As a means of fostering cultural independence from the rest of Spain, Catalan national sentiment gradually switched to the promotion of modernist ideologies, which were previously fended off in the defense and preservation of traditional culture. During this period under investigation, Gerhard was 'un català mundial' (an international Catalan), longing to participate in the greater musical world of the avant-garde. His musical activities in composition, research, and criticism echoed the shifting cultural discourse within Catalonia—Barcelona in particular. Active in nearly all aspects of musical life in the Catalan capital, Gerhard composed works that exhibited an intricate reconciliation of traditional Catalan elements with modern Central European musical aesthetics. Alongside painter Joan Miró, architect Josep Luís Sert, and arts promoter Joan Prats i Vallès, Gerhard established the Amics de l’Art Nou (ADLAN), promoting Catalan avant-garde art. Gerhard, with the assistance of cellist and conductor Pau Casals, brought Arnold Schoenberg to Catalonia for multiple performances of the Viennese master’s music. Gerhard further introduced modern music to the Catalan public with the ISCM festival held in Barcelona in 1936. This paper is informed by critical examination of period documents and contextualizes many of his early works within the escalating cultural movement that promoted modernization in the arts as a manifestation of Catalan national sentiment.

  • 19 by Gianmario Borio* Among the Early Sources Preserved in The
    Beiträge Mauricio Kagel’s Analysis of Schoenberg’s Phantasy for Violin with Piano Accompaniment op. 47 by Gianmario Borio* Among the early sources preserved in the Mauricio Kagel Collection is a dossier dedicated to Schoenberg’s Phantasy op. 47, containing an annotated copy of the score, a series of notes on various aspects of its compositional technique, some annotated samples, and a rough draft of a text most likely intended for publication. This material can only be dated hypothetically on the basis of historical evidence. On August 7, 1953, the Phantasy was per- formed at a concert organized by the Agrupación Nueva Música, in which Kagel participated as a pianist; a fleeting reference to the first book by Allen Forte, seen at the bottom of the table of transpositions, allows us to define the dossier’s terminus post quem; lastly, the language used in the notes, considered along with their underlying topics, seems to rule out the possi- bility that they were written during his early years in Germany.1 Kagel’s analysis reveals much about the set of problems with which he was dealing during the composition of Sexteto de cuerdas and the first version of Anagra- ma.2 It also sheds light on the origin of some of the more durable premises of his thought and, on a more general level, represents a significant episode in the reception of the Phantasy itself. * This article originated as part of the project Composers Analysing Other Composers, on which I have been working for a number of years. The first results of the project were pub- lished in “L’analyse musicale comme processus d’appropriation historique: Webern à Darmstadt,” in Circuit: Musiques contemporaines, 15 (2005), no.
