  • Monograph-Ana Catalina Ramirez
    COSTA RICAN COMPOSER CARLOS ESCALANTE MACAYA AND HIS CONCERTO FOR CLARINET AND STRINGS A Monograph Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by Ana Catalina Ramírez Castrillo May, 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Cynthia Folio, Advisory Chair, Music Studies Department (Music Theory) Dr. Charles Abramovic, Piano Department, Keyboard Department (Piano) Dr. Emily Threinen, Instrumental Studies Department (Winds and Brass) Dr. Stephen Willier, Music Studies Department (Music History) ABSTRACT The purpose of this monograph is to promote Costa Rican academic music by focusing on Costa Rican composer Carlos Escalante Macaya and his Concerto for Clarinet and Strings (2012). I hope to contribute to the international view of Latin American composition and to promote Costa Rican artistic and cultural productions abroad with a study of the Concerto for Clarinet and Strings (Escalante’s first venture into the concerto genre), examining in close detail its melodic, rhythmic and harmonic treatment as well as influences from different genres and styles. The monograph will also include a historical context of Costa Rican musical history, a brief discussion of previous important Costa Rican composers for the clarinet, a short analysis of the composer’s own previous work for the instrument (Ricercare for Solo Clarinet) and performance notes. Also, in addition to the publication and audio/video recording of the clarinet concerto, this document will serve as a resource for clarinet soloists around the world. Carlos Escalante Macaya (b. 1968) is widely recognized in Costa Rica as a successful composer. His works are currently performed year-round in diverse performance venues in the country.

Administered by the Department of Anthropolo- gy, with the cooperation and support of CLAS, the Latin American Archaeology Pro- gram involves research, training, and publication. Its objective is to maintain an interna- tional community of archaeology graduate students at the University of Pittsburgh. This objective is promoted in part through fellowships for outstanding graduate students to study any area of Latin American prehistory. Many of these fellowships are awarded to students from Latin America (nearly half of the students in the program). The commit- ment to Latin American archaeology also is illustrated by collaborative ties with numer- ous Latin American institutions and by the bilingual publication series, which makes the results of primary field research available to a worldwide audience. The Latin American Archaeology Publications Program publishes the bilingual From 1997—Left to right: Latin American Archaeology Fellows Hope Henderson (US), María Auxiliadora Cordero (Ecuador), Ana María Boada (Colombia), [Professor Dick Drennan], and Rafael Gassón (Venezuela).

Public Relations Industry Brief History Latin American Origins Latin American studies about the origins of public relations in the continent establish a common denominator as to the source of the practice in the region. Costa Rica is no exception, and this common denominator plays a relatively important goal in the development and establishment not only in the country, but also for Central America in particular. According to early registries, the genesis of public relations in Latin America is closely related to the introduction of foreign companies, which were used to having public relations as part of their businesses, into the local economies (Molleda & Moreno, 2008).

  • Costa Rican Composer Benjamín Gutiérrez and His Piano Works
    ANDRADE, JUAN PABLO, D.M.A. Costa Rican Composer Benjamín Gutiérrez and his Piano Works. (2008) Directed by Dr. John Salmon. 158 pp. The purpose of this study is to research the life and work of Costa Rican composer Benjamín Gutiérrez (b.1937), with particular emphasis on his solo piano works. Although comprised of a small number of pieces, his piano output is an excellent representation of his musical style. Gutiérrez is regarded as one of Costa Rica’s most prominent composers, and has been the recipient of countless awards and distinctions. His works are known beyond Costa Rican borders only to a limited extent; thus one of the goals of this investigation is to make his music more readily known and accessible for those interested in studying it further. The specific works studied in this project are his Toccata y Fuga, his lengthiest work for the piano, written in 1959; then five shorter pieces written between 1981 and 1992, namely Ronda Enarmónica, Invención, Añoranza, Preludio para la Danza de la Pena Negra and Danza de la Pena Negra. The study examines Gutiérrez’s musical style in the piano works and explores several relevant issues, such as his relationship to nationalistic or indigenous sources, his individual use of musical borrowing, and his stance toward tonality/atonality. He emerges as a composer whose aesthetic roots are firmly planted in Europe, with strong influence from nineteenth-century Romantics such as Chopin and Tchaikovsky, but also the “modernists” Bartók, Prokofiev, Milhaud, and Ginastera, the last two of whom were Gutiérrez’s teachers. The research is divided into six chapters, comprising an introduction, an overview of the development of art music in Costa Rica, a biography of Gutiérrez, a brief account of piano music in the country before Gutiérrez and up to the present day, a detailed study of his solo piano compositions, and conclusions.

    Year in Review 2011-12 Annual Report Center for Latin American Studies University Center for International Studies University of Pittsburgh 2 Year in Review 2011-12 Message from the Director This has been another eventful year, even in the face of continuing iscal challeng- es. Two signiicant endeavors that came to fruition were the initiation of a new degree program in Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the launching of a forum for opinion and comment on issues in Latin America. Working with the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, CLAS spearheaded an ef- fort to establish a major in Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LA&CS). The CLAS advisory committee reviewed plans for a major in spring 2011; it was pre- sented to the CLAS faculty in fall 2011 and formally presented to the Dean of the Dietrich School in spring 2012. The Dietrich School has approved the program proposal and, as I write this, we are awaiting inal approval by the Ofice of the Provost. We anticipate accepting the irst students into the LA&CS major in fall 2013. Over the past several years, CLAS has been enhancing its web presence and capitalizing on the opportunities provided by contemporary social media. We have revamped the CLAS website to enhance navigation for all visitors to the site. The major news this year is the launch of PANORAMAS, a companion site for CLAS that provides a forum for opinion and comment on issues in Latin America (http://www.ucis.pitt.edu/ panoramas/). Drawing on the expertise of a wide range of scholars, PANORAMAS provides a public forum for discussion about critical issues in Latin America.
