Music Programme :Music DM İSTANBUL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES A STUDY ON THE AUTHENTICITY AND EVOLUTION OF PIANO TECHNIQUE FOR SPANISH PIANO MUSIC: WITH SELECTIONS FROM THE REPERTOIRE OF ALBÉNIZ, GRANADOS AND FALLA IF NECESSARY THIRDLINE Ph.D. Thesis by Beray SELEN Department :Music Programme :Music JUNE 2009 i ii FOREWORD This doctorate thesis, titled " A Study On The Authenticity and Evolution of Piano Technique for Spanish Piano Music: With Selections From the Repertoire of Albéniz, Granados and Falla," was prepared at the I.T.U. Social Sciences Institute, Dr. Erol Uçer Center for Advanced Studies in Music (MIAM). This thesis presents results from my concern on the specifics of performance issues regarding Spanish Piano repertoire as well as my lifelong aim in trying to find a synthesis between factors outside of piano performance. These factors come from the core of the music and the culture it is born out of, and may be used in a way to help improve the performance aspect. My personal interest in the difficult and rhythmically complex nature of Spanish music gave rise to a further elaboration of this ideal through the Spanish piano repertoire of Albéniz, Granados and Falla. Coinciding with the writing process of this thesis, I had the chance to discover more useful aspects of music that are beyond just technical aspects of keyboard playing. In retrospect, this study allowed me to arrive at a further instrumental “overarching” angle to help and guide people interested in Spanish Piano repertoire. The project aims at investigating whether it is possible to see aspects of the Spanish piano music from diverse perspectives. Thıs includes the flamenco aspect as well as the guitar and clavichord comparative angles. Among these 3 factors, the aspect of flamenco is the one that stands out due to the importance it bears in terms of its large influence on the way the Spanish piano repertoire is played and perceived. Consequently, this leads the way for other parallels to be built, taking their departure from this example; since flamenco and classical Spanish piano music is only one example among all the other possible pairs that bear a similar relationship. Likewise, other studies can easily be made venturing into similar relationships- i.e. other nations’ “authentic/folk” idioms and their classical repertoire can be paired and studied. This study proves for the case of Spanish piano music, that authentic/folk idioms affect the way a nation’s classical repertoire is written and performed. I would like to thank my teacher and mentor, State Artist Ayşegül Sarıca, for her patience and support at every step of the doctorate study, including this thesis. Next, I would like to thank my advisor, Prof. Dr. Cihat Aşkın for the valuable time and support he invested in the preparation of this thesis; the members of the thesis committee, I.U. State Conservatory faculty Assis. Prof. Ümit Tunak and I.T.U MIAM faculty Prof. Şehvar Beşiroglu for their useful suggestions on the thesis; Marmara University School of Education faculty Assoc. Prof. Dilek Batıbay Yonat and ITU Turkish Music State Conservatory faculty Assist. Prof. Gülyar Balcı for their external support as a member of my finishing jury; as well as Assoc. Prof. M. Safa Yeprem for his guidance on guitar-related issues and leading me through the comparative instrumental details of this study. Last but not least, the help and support of my family through every stage of this study is sincerely and gratefully acknowledged.

    Introduction To Flamenco: Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment by "Flamenco Chuck" Keyser P.O. Box 1292 Santa Barbara, CA 93102 [email protected] http://users.aol.com/BuleriaChk/private/flamenco.html © Charles H. Keyser, Jr. 1993 (Painting by Rowan Hughes) Flamenco Philosophy IA My own view of Flamenco is that it is an artistic expression of an intense awareness of the existential human condition. It is an effort to come to terms with the concept that we are all "strangers and afraid, in a world we never made"; that there is probably no higher being, and that even if there is he/she (or it) is irrelevant to the human condition in the final analysis. The truth in Flamenco is that life must be lived and death must be faced on an individual basis; that it is the fundamental responsibility of each man and woman to come to terms with their own alienation with courage, dignity and humor, and to support others in their efforts. It is an excruciatingly honest art form. For flamencos it is this ever-present consciousness of death that gives life itself its meaning; not only as in the tragedy of a child's death from hunger in a far-off land or a senseless drive-by shooting in a big city, but even more fundamentally in death as a consequence of life itself, and the value that must be placed on life at each moment and on each human being at each point in their journey through it. And it is the intensity of this awareness that gave the Gypsy artists their power of expression.

  • Columbia University Libraries Music Library Zarzuela Collection
    COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES MUSIC LIBRARY ZARZUELA COLLECTION [Shelvedoff-sST BlOTJ^ COU-tCTloh) -XS Shelvedoffeftf 1993 CONTENTS page DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION 1 LISTING OF CONTENTS IN BOXORDER 4 BIBLIOGRAPHIC TITLE SHEETS (duplicates are included in boxes and have been filmed with the materials) COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES MUSIC LIBRARY ZARZUELA COLLECTION DESCRIPTION The Zarzuela Collection at Columbia University consists of almost five hundred different zarzuelas. Both nineteenth and twentieth century works are represented by libretti, scores, and separate instrumental parts. Formats include printed, typewritten, and handwritten items. Many of the libretti contain role assignments and other handwritten notes which indicate they were used by a traveling zarzuela company. Among the authors of the libretti are Javer de Bergos y Sarragoiti, Jose Estremero y Cuenca, Jacinto Benavente, and the Quintero brothers. BACKGROUND The Zarzuela Collection was given to the Columbia Music Library by the Hispanic Institute in 1986. The Institute was founded in 1916 as the Instituto de las Espanas en los Estados Unidos by Frederico de Onis, the year he became head of the Spanish Department at Columbia University. In 1940 the Institute acquired its present name, and in 1961 it moved to the Columbia campus. Since there was no space in the new quarters for the collection, it was donated to the Music Library in two installments — the first included the music scores, the second the libretti and other texts. The source and original organization of the collection are difficult to determine, since the card catalog which accompanied it did not accurately reflect it. In an unpublished study, Janet L.

  • Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano
    COLOMBIAN NATIONALISM: FOUR MUSICAL PERSPECTIVES FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO by Ana Maria Trujillo A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Major: Music The University of Memphis December 2011 ABSTRACT Trujillo, Ana Maria. DMA. The University of Memphis. December/2011. Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano. Dr. Kenneth Kreitner, Ph.D. This paper explores the Colombian nationalistic musical movement, which was born as a search for identity that various composers undertook in order to discover the roots of Colombian musical folklore. These roots, while distinct, have all played a significant part in the formation of the culture that gave birth to a unified national identity. It is this identity that acts as a recurring motif throughout the works of the four composers mentioned in this study, each representing a different stage of the nationalistic movement according to their respective generations, backgrounds, and ideological postures. The idea of universalism and the integration of a national identity into the sphere of the Western musical tradition is a dilemma that has caused internal struggle and strife among generations of musicians and artists in general. This paper strives to open a new path in the research of nationalistic music for violin and piano through the analyses of four works written for this type of chamber ensemble: the third movement of the Sonata Op. 7 No.1 for Violin and Piano by Guillermo Uribe Holguín; Lopeziana, piece for Violin and Piano by Adolfo Mejía; Sonata for Violin and Piano No.3 by Luís Antonio Escobar; and Dúo rapsódico con aires de currulao for Violin and Piano by Andrés Posada.

    SUMA FLAMENCA 2010 The Community of Madrid’s 5th Annual Flamenco Festival Press Pack JOSÉ MENESE BELÉN LÓPEZ Flamenco Singing: José Menese Belén López Company Guitar: Manolo Franco Song and Dance MADRID CENTRO CULTURAL PACO RABAL-PALOMERAS BAJAS (PACO RABAL-PALOMERAS BAJAS CULTURAL CENTER) FRIDAY, JULY 2ND AT 20:30 POR DERECHO (BY RIGHT) For Menese, Por derecho (By Right) means, “producing a cante (flamenco song) that is musically pure, with no additives.” Menese’s contribution to renovating and dignifying flamenco provoked sociological and cultural changes in the way this art form was perceived. The cultura jonda (“deep culture”) comes alive in his cante (flamenco singing). At the peak of his maturity as an artist, Menese has become the most authentic symbol of a decisive period in the history of flamenco art, one that began in the 1950’s and 60’s and was known as the flamenco renaissance. José Menese played a crucial role in this renaissance and he has been loyal to his lineage long enough that now, thirty years later, he has again become a point of reference for the new flamenco renaissance that fans of the purest cante (flamenco singing) are currently demanding. José Menese. He was born and raised in 1942 in La Puebla de Cazalla (Seville), where, from an early age, he first began to discover his love of cante (flamenco singing). In 1959, having sung at La Puebla and at El Café Central, Menese debuted at the Carretria de Osuna movie theater alongside Antonio Mairena himself. Menese moved to Madrid in the early 60’s, under the patronage of Francisco Moreno Beltrán (La Puebla’s lyricist).

Para demostrar que esta consideración es el resultado de un largo proceso de transformación, se analizan los escritos sobre tonás y martinetes y se compara el contenido de sus coplas con las descripciones de ciertos hechos históricos. En múltiples casos coinciden los fragmentos, aunque sean muy breves, con determinados acontecimientos reales, lo que se puede interpretar como un indicio de que las letras efectivamente derivan de unos textos de romances noticiosos, narrando sobre asuntos carcelarios y la persecución de los gitanos. Uno de los hechos concretos constituye la Prisión General de los Gitanos, realizada en 1749, incluyendo su preparación y sus consecuencias.

  • El Flamenco En Tiempos Del Cancionero De Eduardo Ocón
    El flamenco en tiempos del Cancionero de Eduardo Ocón. Estudio especial de la «Soledad» Flamenco at the time of Eduardo Ocón's «Cancionero». A study of «Soledad» Berlanga Femández, Miguel Ángel * BIBLID [021 0-962-X( 1995); 26; 321-335] RESUMEN Por los años en que Eduardo Ocón elaboraba sus Cantos Españoles ( década de 1860) los códigos estéticos del naciente arte flamenco se estaban decantando. Algunas de las piezas que Ocón recoge en su Cancionero son un precioso testimonio del punto en que se encontraba esta evolución. El autor del artículo acude a este Cancionero, a un testimonio literario de la misma época, la obra Viaje por España del francés Charles Davillier y a los datos del folklore actual para adentrarse en el flamenco de una época de la que se tienen abundantes referencias literarias pero escasos y poco estudiados testimonios musicales. Palabras clave: Ocón, Eduardo. Flamenco. Cante jondo. Música popular. Folklore. España. Siglo 19. ABSTRACT At the time when Eduardo Ocón was writing his Sp anish Songs (Cantos Españoles), that is in the 1860s, the relatively young art of flamenco was also developing its own aesthetic identity. Sorne of the pieces which Ocón includes in his «Cancionero» offer fine evidence of this development. The present paper is based on an analysis of the Cancionero, of a literary work of the same period, the Frenchman Charles Davillier's Travels through Sp ain and of data from current folklore, and is an attempt to study flamenco at a time when many literary references have been studied but there has been little analysis of purely musical evidence .
