    MUCO 572: Comparative Analytical Techniques: Spectral Music (2 units) MUS 303 Spring 2017, Thornton School of Music Sean Friar email: [email protected] | office hours: by appointment | office: MUS 201 _____________________________________________________________________________________ COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will follow the development of spectralism in the 20th and 21st centuries. Spectral music – in the most general sense – is music that focuses on timbre above all other musical parameters, and derives its musical material from the acoustic properties of sound itself (sound spectra), the overtone series, electronic music techniques, and psychoacoustics. Though spectralism was initially developed by a small group of young Parisian composers in the 1970’s, its influence has since spread around the world, seemingly achieving wider use and acceptance with each new generation of composers. Over the semester, we will consider the different ways composers have incorporated these ideas into their music. * This course is concerned both with the aesthetics and the rigorous analysis of spectral music. It will sometimes involve (fairly straightforward) math. Course Materials Scores, recordings, and readings will be distributed throughout the semester via Blackboard and in-class handouts. There is no textbook. Grading! Attendance/participation 10% Weekly readings/assignments 30% Final paper 40% Final presentation 20% Weekly Readings and Assignments Each week, students will be assigned listening/score study, readings, and/or assignments. It is important that students do the required listening and reading prior to each class, as the lectures and discussion will assume that students have done the work. Attendance/participation As the class only meets once per week, it is important to attend every lecture.

  • Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: an Overview and Performance Guide
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: An Overview and Performance Guide A PROJECT DOCUMENT SUBMITTED TO THE BIENEN SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS Program of Saxophone Performance By Thomas Michael Snydacker EVANSTON, ILLINOIS JUNE 2019 2 ABSTRACT Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: An Overview and Performance Guide Thomas Snydacker The saxophone has long been an instrument at the forefront of new music. Since its invention, supporters of the saxophone have tirelessly pushed to create a repertoire, which has resulted today in an impressive body of work for the yet relatively new instrument. The saxophone has found itself on the cutting edge of new concert music for practically its entire existence, with composers attracted both to its vast array of tonal colors and technical capabilities, as well as the surplus of performers eager to adopt new repertoire. Since the 1970s, one of the most eminent and consequential styles of contemporary music composition has been spectralism. The saxophone, predictably, has benefited tremendously, with repertoire from Gérard Grisey and other founders of the spectral movement, as well as their students and successors. Spectral music has continued to evolve and to influence many compositions into the early stages of the twenty-first century, and the saxophone, ever riding the crest of the wave of new music, has continued to expand its body of repertoire thanks in part to the influence of the spectralists. The current study is a guide for modern saxophonists and pedagogues interested in acquainting themselves with the saxophone music of the spectralists.

  • Melody on the Threshold in Spectral Music *
    Melody on the Threshold in Spectral Music * James Donaldson NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.21.27.2/mto.21.27.2.donaldson.php KEYWORDS: spectralism, melody, liminal, Bergson, Gérard Grisey, Claude Vivier, Georg Friedrich Haas, Kaija Saariaho ABSTRACT: This article explores the expressive and formal role of melody in spectral and “post- spectral” music. I propose that melody can function within a spectral aesthetic, expanding the project of relating unfamiliar musical parameters to “liquidate frozen categories” (Grisey 2008 [1982], 45). Accordingly, I show how melody can shift in and out of focus relative to other musical elements. I adopt Grisey’s use of the terms differential and liminal to describe relationships between two musical elements: differential refers to the process between distinct elements whereas liminal describes moments of ambiguity between two elements. I apply these principles to Grisey’s Prologue (1976), Vivier’s Zipangu (1977), Haas’s de terrae fine (2001), and Saariaho’s Sept Papillons (2000). Received February 2020 Volume 27, Number 2, June 2021 Copyright © 2021 Society for Music Theory [1.1] In the writings by figures associated with the spectral movement, which emerged in early 1970s Paris, references to melody are rare. As the group focused on the acoustic properties of sound, this is perhaps unsurprising. Nevertheless, the few appearances can be divided into two categories. First—and representative of broadly scientizing motivations in post-war post-tonal music—is the dismissal of melody as an anachronism. Gérard Grisey’s 1984 “La musique, le devenir des sons” is representative: with a rhetoric of founding a new style, he is dismissive of past practices, specifically that there is no “matériau de base” such as “melodic cells” (Grisey 2008 [1978], 27).

  • Sound & Score Seminar
    Sound & Score Seminar Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] December 15‐16, 2010 Ghent, Belgium As an art form based upon sound, music deals with complex semiotic translations and interactions between different perceptual senses and systems of signification: sound, score, meaning. Primarily, music has to do with the invisible, with forces that cannot be seen but that touch listeners in very compelling ways. However, in many cultures ‐ Western and non‐Western ‐ music has been codified in notated form, originating complex written artefacts ‐ the score ‐. Here, different signs and symbols not only allow for the retention and transmission of certain elements of the musical fabric but also liberate forces that are not conceivable without graphic representations. This seminar introduces the act of notating as an important and pivotal activity within the rich array of activities that constitute musical practice. The two‐day international seminar aims at exploring the intimate relation(s) between sound and score and the artistic possibilities that this relationship yields for performers, composers and listeners. Three main perspectives will be adopted: a conceptual approach that allows for contributions from other fields of enquiry (history, musicology, semiotics, etc.), a practical one that takes the skilled body as its point of departure and finally an experimental approach that challenges state‐of‐the‐art practices. Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] The Orpheus Research Centre in Music is based at the Orpheus Instituut in Ghent, Belgium. ORCiM's mission is to produce and promote the highest quality research into music, and in particular into the processes of music‐making and our understanding of them.

  • “Contemporary Compositional Techniques and Openmusic” Rozalie Hirs, Bob Gilmore, Editors Delatour 2009
    “Contemporary compositional techniques and OpenMusic” Rozalie Hirs, Bob Gilmore, editors Delatour 2009 Part One of the book presents extended analytical articles on works by Claude Vivier, Gérard Grisey and Tristan Murail that seek to illuminate their underlying compositional techniques. In an interview specially conducted for this book Murail talks about his use of computers in composing, both as regards to sound synthesis and the actual writing of the score. Rozalie Hirs's article on Murail’s Le Lac (2001) seeks to explain its frequency‐based compositional techniques and the use of OpenMusic during the compositional process, and gives a detailed account of some of the patches used. Bob Gilmore's article on Claude Vivier's Lonely Child (1980) explores the composer's introduction of the compositional principle known as “l'addition des fréquences” into instrumental writing, a process developed without the use of computer technology but one which could easily be formalised in algorithmic terms. Jean‐Luc Hervé's article discusses the compositional techniques and poetic ideas underlying Gérard Grisey's Quatre Chants pour Franchir le Seuil (1997‐1998). The authors provide detailed analyses of these works, focusing on the frequency‐based techniques and compositional processes employed by the composers. The second part of the book originated in ‘OpenMusic and Contemporary Compositional Techniques’, a series of lectures and workshops given by Rozalie Hirs and guest professors Tristan Murail, Mikhail Malt, Benjamin Thigpen, Marco Stroppa, and Niels Bogaards at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam during the 2005/06 academic year. An extensive essay on Tristan Murail’s compositional ideas and frequency‐based techniques originated in the lecture series given by Rozalie Hirs.

    Joël Bons E C | P Music1 air#3in C contextair#4 air#0 air#1 air#2 Joël Bons Invitation / 3 The international music world is increasingly shaped by music from diverse cultures. However, almost no structural research has been performed into the impact this has, or might have in the future, on musicians in training. air#3 That the distinction between composition and performance differs according to culture is also an area of interest. The Amsterdam Conservatory has invited Joël Bons to investi- gate the opportunities arising from the combination of differ- ent music cultures, for both composition and performance prac- tice. Particular attention will be given to bringing these two practices closer to one another. Where possible he will, in response to his findings, advise the Board on the selection of guest tutors and other teaching air#4 staff, the development and reform of the curriculum, and the programming of the Composition Department. In addition, the Amsterdam Conservatory has asked Joël Bons to investigate the feasibility of a Centre of Excellence at the Conservatory devoted to various aspects of non-Western music, namely knowledge, research, composition and performance. air#0 air#1 From the letter of appointment air#2 Joël Bons Joël Bons studied guitar and composition at the Sweelinck Conservatory in 4 5 Amsterdam. After completion of his composition studies, he attended summer Winds courses by Franco Donatoni in Siena and the Darmstädter Ferienkurse für Neue Musik. In 1982 he resumed his composition studies, with Brian Ferneyhough in Freiburg. and Strings At the beginning of the 1980s, Joël Bons co-founded the Nieuw Ensemble, a leading 3 international ensemble for contemporary music that is pioneering in its programming (02–2005) / and innovative in its repertoire.
