The second NY PHIL BIENNIAL, taking place May 23–June 11, 2016, features diverse programs — ranging from solo works and a chamber opera to large scale symphonies — by more than 100 composers, more than half of whom are American; presents some of the country’s top music schools and youth choruses; and expands to more New York City neighborhoods. A range of events and activities has been created to engender an ongoing dialogue among artists, composers, and audience members. Partners in the 2016 NY PHIL BIENNIAL include National Sawdust; 92nd Street Y; Aspen Music Festival and School; Interlochen Center for the Arts; League of Composers/ISCM; Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts; LUCERNE FESTIVAL; MetLiveArts; New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival; Whitney Museum of American Art; WQXR’s Q2 Music; and Yale School of Music.

  • 'Tradizione E Contaminazione': an Ethnography of The
    ‘TRADIZIONE E CONTAMINAZIONE’: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF THE CONTEMPORARY SOUTHERN ITALIAN FOLK REVIVAL Stephen Francis William Bennetts BA (Hons), Australian National University, 1987 MA, Sydney University, 1993 Graduate Diploma (Communication), University of Technology, Sydney, 1999 This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia, School of Social Sciences, Discipline of Anthropology and Sociology 2012 ‘Pizzicarello’, Tessa Joy, 2010. 1 2 I have acquired the taste For this astringent knowledge Distilled through the Stringent application of the scientific method, The dry martini of the Intellectual world, Shaken, not stirred. But does this mean I must eschew Other truths? From ‘The Bats of Wombat State Forest’ in Wild Familiars (2006) by Liana Christensen 3 4 ABSTRACT The revival since the early 1990s of Southern Italian folk traditions has seen the ‘rediscovery’ and active recuperation, especially by urban revivalist actors, of le tradizioni popolari, popular traditional practices originating in peasant society which are still practiced by some traditional local actors in remote rural areas of Southern Italy. This thesis draws on interviews, participant observation and historical research carried out mainly during fieldwork in Rome and Southern Italy in 2002-3 to present an ethnography of the urban revivalist subculture which has been the main driving force behind the contemporary Southern Italian folk revival. In the course of my enquiry into why the movement has emerged, I combine both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, as well as a phenomenological analysis of revivalist motivation and agency, to explore the question of why contemporary urban revivalists have begun to take an interest in the archaic and marginalised cultural practices of rural Southern Italy.

  • A Study of Castelnuovo-Tedesco‟S
    A STUDY OF CASTELNUOVO-TEDESCO‟S PIEDIGROTTA 1924: RAPSODIA NAPOLETANA by PAOLO ANDRÉ GUALDI (Under the Direction of Susan Thomas and Evgeny Rivkin) ABSTRACT Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco‟s Piedigrotta 1924: Rapsodia Napoletana is a solo piano work inspired by Neapolitan folk music. This source of inspiration is quite unusual for an early twentieth-century Italian composer, considering that the general music tastes of the time steered clear of vernacular sources and favored a rediscovery of forms and genres from the Renaissance and Baroque. The piece is the only full work in Castelnuovo-Tedesco‟s compositional output that is inspired by the realm of Neapolitan popular music. However, Piedigrotta 1924 embodies many of the composer‟s stylistic traits, including a keenness for evoking extra-musical elements and a love for melody and thematic transformation. This study explores several aspects of Piedigrotta 1924 that make this work a unique example in the piano repertoire, taking account of the historical and political scene in Italy in the early twentieth century, and including remarks on the composer‟s style, influences, and compositional characteristics. INDEX WORDS: Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Piedigrotta, 1924, Rapsodia, Napoletana, piano, generazione dell‟ottanta, fascism, Neapolitan folk, thematic transformation.

Both the composers’ musical decisions and the finished works’ critical and musicological reception demonstrate just how urgently the genre of opera was thought to be in crisis. Enabled by the myth of the “Stunde Null” or Zero Hour, many avant-garde composers shunned opera as artistically bankrupt and conservative, preferring instead genres that were less closely tied to the musical past. Opera’s coherence as a genre depended upon the maintenance and renewal of dramatic and musical conventions from eras both immediate and distant – a dependence that became politicized as the boundaries of “new music” were policed.
