  • Denham Scholarly Essay.Pdf
    IMPROVISATION AS A GENERATIVE TOOL FOR NEW OPERA: AN EXPLORATION OF METHODS AND PARAMETERS BY ELLEN LOUISE DENHAM SCHOLARLY ESSAY Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctoral of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Sylvia Stone, Chair Professor Erik Lund, Director of Research Associate Professor Katherine Syer Assistant Professor Michael Tilley ABSTRACT This scholarly essay explores the subject of improvisation in opera and vocal music, tracing its historical antecedents, providing examples of contemporary, classically-informed improvising singers and opera companies, and presenting an overview of possible methods and parameters. Chapter 1 examines the historical background of extemporaneous counterpoint in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the flourishing of improvised ornaments and embellishments from the Baroque era to the bel canto style of the nineteenth century, and the eventual decline in the use of improvised ornaments and cadenzas in the late nineteenth century. Chapter 2 covers first the subject of contemporary improvisation, including experimental techniques from the 1950s and 1960s, with reference to the use of improvisatory elements in composed scores. The second area involves a discussion of singer-composers Cathy Berberian, Meredith Monk, Pamela Z, and Bobby McFerrin. The third area explores current opera creators and performers using improvisation, focusing on the improv-comedy-based groups Impropera and La Donna Improvvisata, and two “devised operas”: Ann Baltz’s OperaWorks production of The Discord Altar, and Ellen Lindquist’s dream seminar. Much of this newer material has yet to be the subject of much scholarship.

Cellular Songs pairs voice with movement, instrumentation, and a site-specific video installation to explore the interconnected, ineffable relationship between human beings and the natural world. Following Monk’s celebrated On Behalf of Nature (2014 Next Wave), Cellular Songs contemplates the fundamental unit of life and its relation to the universe. Drawing inspiration from biological processes— layering, replication, division, and mutation—Monk looks to underlying systems in nature that can serve as a prototype for human behavior in our tumultuous world.

Salame On Behalf of Nature As I began working on On Behalf of Nature, I asked myself the question: “how would one create an ecological art work that didn’t make more waste in the world?” Live performances leave no traces except, hopefully, in the minds of audience members. This ephemeral aspect is both poignant and exhilarating. Sometimes though, the desire for novelty and surface excitement leads to buying a lot of new things, spending a great deal of money for an experience that lasts only a few hours.

  • Meredith Monk Vocal Ensemble 2008
    Meredith Monk Vocal Ensemble País: EE.UU. Género: Vanguardia vocal / performance multidisciplinar Representación: España y Portugal Monk crea en la intersección de la música y el movimiento, la imagen y el objeto, la luz y el sonido, en un esfuerzo por descubrir y tejer nuevos modos de percepción “No conocemos este lenguaje, pero aun así entendemos su significado. No somos capaces de captar su música, pero aun así sentimos su eco en nuestros huesos” - Robert Sandla, Opera News Meredith Monk es una compositora, cantante, coreógrafa y autora de nueva ópera, directora de películas e instalaciones. Una pionera en lo qué ahora se llama “técnica vocal extendida” y “performance interdisciplinario”. Meredith Monk colabora con algunos de los intérpretes más brillantes y aventureros de la escena musical actual. El Vocal Ensemble ha actuado en los principales teatros y auditorios del mundo incluyendo el Carnegie Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall y Cologne Philarmonie, entre otros. Los miembros del Vocal Ensemble representan diferentes culturas incluyendo Asia, Africa, Europa y América Latina. Ellos aportan a su vez tradiciones artísticas muy diversas incluyendo desde la opera China y occidental, hasta Broadway y el teatro musical, así como todo tipo de peformance multidisciplinar. Monk crea en la intersección de la música y el movimiento, la imagen y el objeto, la luz y el sonido en un esfuerzo por descubrir y tejer nuevos modos de percepción. Su exploración de la voz como instrumento, como lengua elocuente en sí misma, amplía los límites de la composición musical, creando paisajes sonoros que descubren sentimientos, energías, y memorias para las que no existen palabras.

Inspired by the Buddhist conception of oneness and poet Gary Snyder’s idea of the artist as “spokesperson for non-human entities,” On Behalf of Nature reaffirms our indissoluble connection to the natural realm. On Behalf of Nature premiered to critical acclaim in January 2013 at UCLA. Moving collectively around a bare stage, eight performers intone a beguiling polyphony of sounds, suggesting a world in which the material, the spiritual, and the human coexist as a harmonious interdependent whole. In addition to Monk, performers include: Sidney Chen, Ellen Fisher, Katie Geissinger, Bruce Rameker, Allison Sniffin (voices); Bohdan Hilash (winds); John Hollenbeck (percussion), and Allison Sniffin (keyboards, violin, and French horn).
