    Orientalism, Regionalism, Cosmopolitanism: Musical Manifestations of Cultural Hybridity Audrey M. Wozniak Advised by Martin Brody, Department of Music Wellesley College May 2014 Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in Music Performance © Audrey Wozniak, 2014 Introduction If the declaration that music is a “universal language” is in itself controversial, then any assertion that there can be “purity” within a musical style is surely even more contentious. Even the terms “East” and “West” can be difficult to tease apart. As we consider artistic cross-fertilization, we should remember that compartmentalizing cultures and countries (or even continents) involves potentially arbitrary, or certainly changeable, boundaries. In reality, cultural sub-groups cannot be neatly distilled to a formulaic laundry list of attributes. They serve as poor substitutes for nuanced distinctions and too easily reinforce cultural place-markers or stereotypes. Musically speaking, the so-called “classical music” of the West may seem to be an exception; that is, to contradict a norm of hybridity. European tonal music emerged from centuries of slowly evolving norms of harmony and voice leading. However, “Western” music has incorporated a variety of idioms and practices. One kind of cultural hybridity that emerges in various guises in the context of tonal music is a formulaic, what might be called “Orientalizing,” allusion to the Near or Far East. In this essay, I will explore attitudinal shifts among European and American composers toward incorporating non- European art music sources in art music. A wide variety of attitudes about Eastern- Western musical hybridity are reflected in the compositional processes and approaches of composers from Mozart to Ives.

  • TERRY RILEY + GAMELAN GALAK TIKA @ MIT December 15, 2011 7:30 PM
    CHRISTINE SOUTHWORTH, general manager • 65 Turning Mill Road, Lexington MA 02420 phone: (617) 905-6804 • email: [email protected] • web: www.galaktika.org WORLD PREMIERE! TERRY RILEY + GAMELAN GALAK TIKA @ MIT December 15, 2011 7:30 PM Cambridge MA - Legendary composer Terry Riley – the father of minimalism – makes a rare Boston-area appearance at MIT’s Kresge Auditorium on Thursday, December 15, 7:30 pm, in performance with Boston’s own Gamelan Galak Tika. This first-time collaboration - melding world music, jazz, electronics, and the experimental – climaxes with the world premiere of Riley’s amazing new work, White Space Conflict, for gamelan, guitar, keyboard, saxophone, electronics and voice. The program also includes Riley performing new solo works for piano and pipe organ, and Galak Tika performing traditional Balinese music. Also featured is virtuoso guitarist Gyan Riley, and Bang on a Can All-star EVan Ziporyn on clarinet and saxophone. Terry Riley burst into public consciousness in 1964 with In C, widely regarded as one of the most essential works of the 20th century, a piece deeply influential to Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Gyorgy Ligeti, The Who, Brian Eno, Matmos, and countless others. His style as a performer & composer then evolved through an immersion in Indian music and jazz, and he has since produced a vast body of compositions and albums, including over a dozen pieces for the Kronos Quartet, collaborations with John Cale, Wu Man, and Bang on a Can. At age 75, he continues to compose prolifically and perform regularly. Gamelan Galak Tika was founded in 1993 by composer Evan Ziporyn, and devotes itself to traditional and new works for Balinese gamelan orchestra.

    MIT Sounding 2015-16 New Music Series Headliners: Maya Beiser, Keeril Makan & Jay Scheib’s Persona, Johnny Gandelsman, FLUX Quartet, Pamela Z Media Contact: Leah Talatinian Communications Manager, Arts at MIT [email protected] | 617-253-5351 | arts.mit.edu Cambridge, MA, August 13, 2015 — Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announces the 2015- 16 lineup for the innovative annual performance series MIT Sounding, curated by Evan Ziporyn. Featured performances by some of the world’s leading artists run the gamut, from Bach to Led Zeppelin and Morton Feldman, and from acoustic recitals to electronic manipulations of the human voice. The artists in this season’s MIT Sounding offer audiences new ways to regard repertoire, genre and performance practice. In the fall season, Keeril Makan and Jay Scheib reimagine Ingmar Bergman’s classic 1966 film Persona in operatic form; classical cellist Maya Beiser reinterprets the rock canon in “Uncovered”; and violinist Johnny Gandelsman reprises his powerful single-evening performance of J.S. Bach’s complete Sonatas and Partitas. In winter/spring 2016 the intrepid FLUX Quartet presents the long-awaited Boston premiere of Morton Feldman’s epic uninterrupted six-hour String Quartet No. 2; and electroacoustic songstress Pamela Z explodes our idea of vocal virtuosity. MIT Sounding – an annual series – is presented by the MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST), with support from the School of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences (SHASS) and the Music & Theater Arts program (MTA). The concert by Johnny Gandelsman is the first annual Terry and Rick Stone Concert. A full schedule and information about the musicians is below.

  • 1118 Program Notes for Gamelan Galak Tika
    Program Notes for Gamelan Galak Tika BIOS Evan Ziporyn Evan Ziporyn (b. 1959, Chicago) makes music at the crossroads between genres and cultures, east and west. He studied at Eastman, Yale & UC Berkeley with Joseph Schwantner, Martin Bresnick, & Gerard Grisey. He first traveled to Bali in 1981, studying with Madé Lebah, Colin McPhee's 1930s musical informant. He returned on a Fulbright in 1987. Earlier that year, he performed a clarinet solo at the First Bang on a Can Marathon in New York. His involvement with BOAC continued for 25 years: in 1992 he co-founded the Bang on a Can All-stars (Musical America's 2005 Ensemble of the Year), with whom he toured the globe and premiered over 100 commissioned works, collaborating with Nik Bartsch, Iva Bittova, Don Byron, Ornette Coleman, Brian Eno, Philip Glass, Meredith Monk, Thurston Moore, Terry Riley and Tan Dun. He co-produced their seminal 1996 recording of Brian Eno's Music for Airports, as well as their most recent CD, Big Beautiful Dark & Scary (2012). Ziporyn joined the MIT faculty in 1990, founding Gamelan Galak Tika there in 1993, and beginning a series of groundbreaking compositions for gamelan & western instruments. These include three evening-length works, 2001's ShadowBang, 2004'sOedipus Rex (Robert Woodruff, director), and 2009's A House in Bali, an opera which joins western singers with Balinese traditional performers, and the All-stars with a full gamelan. It received its world premiere in Bali that summer and its New York premiere at BAM Next Wave in October 2010. As a clarinetist, Ziporyn recorded the definitive version of Steve Reich's multi-clarinet NY Counterpoint in 1996, sharing in that ensemble's Grammy in 1998.

Printed programs will be provided to patrons at the performances. Programs are subject to change. Ambient Orchestra David Bowie’s Blackstar Blackstar Concerto David Bowie (1947-2016) Conceived and adapted for orchestra by Evan Ziporyn Blackstar ‘Tis a Pity She Was a Whore Lazarus Sue (Or in a Season of Crime) Girl Loves Me Dollar Days I Can’t Give Everything Away Maya Beiser, solo cello Evan Ziporyn, conductor Dave Cook, sound design The Ambient Orchestra, featuring musicians from Boston Conservatory at Berklee NO INTERMISSION Program Notes BLACKSTAR (2016) David Bowie released Blackstar on January 8, 2016; he passed away two days later: in characteristic fashion, he had written and staged his own eulogy! Blackstar was his parting gift to the world—dark but luminous, richly textured and deeply moving. It sounded this way even in the two days before he died; afterwards, as the world realized what he’d been trying to tell us, the album’s poignancy became overwhelming. Blackstar is a concept album, but the concept itself is unnamed, perhaps because it is the unnameable itself, death, how to face it, and how to celebrate life—his and ours—even in its shadow. Unlike Bowie’s 2015 musical Lazarus (which shares similar concerns and one song), Blackstar has no clear storyline; unlike many of his earlier albums, there is no single alter ego—no Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Major Tom, Thin White Duke.

Composer I Wayan Beratha based it on traditional, sacred dances used to welcome Gods to village temples: these were felt to be inappropriate for secular performance. Today it is performed interchangeably with similar dances of sacred and secular origin. The name is derived from sambrama, Balinese for 'welcome.' CONSTRUCTION (world premiere) is composed for Balinese gamelan with solo percussionist.
