Kuid tegevussuundi on CCl aastate jooksul üha juurde tulnud. Ansambli kõrvale on tek­ kinud agentuur, on salvestatud kaks CDd, “Beauty of History” (2005) ja “Jõulud iidses Tallinnas” (2007); omal moel tegutsetakse pedagoogiliseltki: proovi­ tud on koostööprojekti Kadrioru gümnaasiumiga, mõisakoole toetades kasvatatakse uut kuulajapõlv­ konda ja lõpuks võib publiku harimiseks pidada ka Corelli Consorti kontserte lahutamatult saatvaid Jüri Kuuskemaa ajaloolisi selgitusi. Kohtun ansambli eestvedaja Mail Sildosega enne proovi Muusikamaja suvises aias, CCl on taas ees mõisakontserdid. Hiljem liituvad meiega ükshaa­ val seekordses sarjas mänginud muusikud Peeter Sarapuu, Meelis Orgse, Villu Vihermäe ja Lembit Orgse. Teie esimene kontsert oli 1992. aasta juunis. Kuidas see kõik algas? MAIL SILDOS: Kui 1991 tuli iseseisvus, siis tundus, et nüüd ometi võiks ka ise midagi täiesti uut teha. 1991/92. aasta talv oli Eestile väga raske. Need, kes elasid keskküttega korteris, arvatavasti mäletavad, kui toas oli 13 kraadi sooja. Corellit tollal üldse ei mängitud, isegi praegu ma ei tea, et keegi peale meie väga mängiks, aga tegelikult on see ju väga ilus muusika. Leidsin concerto grosso’de partituurid, is- 11/2012 3 Kas Corelli on isiklik huvi? Imbi Tarum (klavessiin), M. S.: Jah. Ja ma olen vaadanud, et kui neid lugusid kontserdil Villu Vihermäe ja Mail Sildos. FOTO HARRI ROSPU mängida, on nii muusikud kui publik kuidagi õnnelikud... Barokkmuusika üldse mõjub inimesele hästi. Selles on mingid väga positiivsed võnked sees. Mis mulle veel väga meeldib – barokkmuusika on hästi impro- visatsiooniline, kirjas on nn kondikava. Eks ma olen nüüd aastate- ga muidugi ka tuhninud vanades barokiaegsetes viiulimänguõpe- tustes, põhjalikumalt uurinud ja ka eesti keelde tõlkinud Geminia- nit. Sealt on palju praktilist võtta, aga näiteks kaunistuste või ka- dentside mängimine – nad ei kirjeldagi seda. See peab lihtsalt ole- ma, nagu Geminiani koolis on väga ilusasti öeldud, publikule es- teetiliselt vastuvõetav. Võibolla just selletõttu ei kõla meil lood igal kontserdil täpselt ühtemoodi. Kui muusikutel tuleb hoog peale, üks nakatab teist, keegi teeb mingeid kaunistusi, teine hoopis teist- suguseid, tulevad välja täiesti erinevad versioonid. CC praegune koosseis on väga hea, me lihtsalt sobime üksteisega. Muusikute pu- hul on ju väga oluline, et inimesed võnguksid sarnaselt, et ei peaks liiga palju seletama. Just see meeldib mulle väga! CCs on mänginud (ja laulnud) väga aukartustäratav hulk muu­ sikuid, peaaegu kõik, kes Eestis barokiga tegelevad [vaata lä­ hemalt koduleheküljelt www.corelli.ee]. Keda võiks välja tuua, kas on mingi tuumik, kes on läbi kahekümne aasta asja juures olnud? M. S.: Imbi Tarum oli kaua meil ainuke klavessiinimängija, nüüd on tema kõrval Lembit Orgse. Peeter Sarapuuga oleme teinud vä- ga põnevaid kavasid, Tõnu Jõesaar mängib lisaks tšellole ka eri- nevaid viola da gamba’sid. Meelis Orgse ja Villu Vihermäe on noorem generatsioon, kelle liitumisest ja sobivusest teistega on mul väga hea meel. Nemad ongi praegune tuumik.

  • Arkivförteckning Rune Gustafssons Arkiv
    Rune Gustafssons arkiv Svenskt visarkiv April 2013 Leif Larsson INLEDNING Rune Gustafsson ( 1933 – 2012 ) hörde sedan början av 1950-talet till en av Sveriges allra främsta jazzmusiker. Han började sin karriär hos trumslagaren Nils-Bertil Dahlander i Göteborg men flyttade några år senare till Stockholm. Under nästan hela fortsatta 1950-talet spelade han där tillsammans med Putte Wickman. Rune träffade 1959 Arne Domnérus som han sedan samarbetade med i många olika sammanhang. Under ett par årtionden var Rune Gustafsson en av våra mest anlitade studiomusiker som genom sin mångsidighet och flexibilitet passade in i de flesta situationer. Rune Gustafsson har bakom sig en rad egna skivor, bl. a. ”Move” som belönades med Orkesterjournalens Gyllene Skiva. Han har även varit involverad i flera andra produktioner som tilldelats denna utmärkelse. Under åren har RG samarbetat med en rad av jazzens internationella storheter, såsom Benny Carter, George Russel, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz och Zoot Sims. Med den sistnämnde gjorde Rune två skivor, den sista ”In A Sentimental Mood” kom att bli Zoot Sims allra sista. Med sin mångsidighet har Rune också varit efterfrågad i många andra musikaliska sammanhang, både i Sverige och stora delar av världen, t.ex. Eng- land, USA, Sydamerika, Ryssland, Japan och Kina. 1997 erhöll Rune det allra första priset ur Albin Hagströms minnesfond i Kungliga musikaliska akademien med motiveringen: ”För en mer än fyrtiofemårig gärning som framstående jazzsolist och mångsidig studio musiker – en beundrad förebild och outtömlig inspirationskälla för generationer svenska elgitarrister. 1998 fick Rune Gustafsson Thore Ehrlings stipendium med motiveringen: ”En av de mångsidigaste musikerna inom svensk populärmusik och vår genom tiderna främste jazzgitarrist”.

    THE STATE OF ARTISTIC FREEDOM 2018 FREEMUSE THE STATE OF ARTISTIC FREEDOM 2018 1 Freemuse is an independent international organisation advocating for and defending freedom of artistic expression. We believe that at the heart of violations of artistic freedom is the effort to silence opposing or less preferred views and values by those in power – politically, religiously or societally – mostly due to fear of their transformative effect. With this assumption, we can address root causes rather than just symptoms – if we hold violators accountable. Our approach to artistic freedom is human rights-based as it provides an international legal framework and lays out the principles of accountability, equality and non-discrimination, and participation. ©2018 Freemuse.

    This book provides a unique and intriguing insight into current debates concerning the relationship between nation and state Jordan Paul as well as the political management of international image in today’s Europe through an examination of debates on nation branding and the Eurovision Song Contest. Europe is a con- tested construct and its boundaries are subject to redefinition. This work aims to advance critical thinking about contempo- rary nation branding and its relationship to, and influence on, Paul Jordan nation building. In particular it focusses on key identity debates The Modern Tale Fairy that the Eurovision Song Contest engendered in Estonia in the run-up to EU accession. The Eurovision Song Contest is an event which is often dismissed as musically and culturally The Modern Fairy Tale: inferior. However, this work demonstrates that it has the capac- ity to shed light on key identity debates and illuminate wider Nation Branding, National Identity socio-political issues. Using a series of in-depth interviews with and the Eurovision Song Contest political elites, media professionals and opinion leaders, this book is a valuable contribution to the growing field of research in Estonia on nation branding and the Eurovision Song Contest. Paul Jordan obtained his PhD from the University of Glasgow in 2011. His research interests include nation building and nation branding of post-communist states, national identity and nationalist politics. He is also a regular media commenta- tor on the Eurovision Song Contest.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Yiddish Songs of the Shoah A Source Study Based on the Collections of Shmerke Kaczerginski A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Bret Charles Werb 2014 Copyright © Bret Charles Werb 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Yiddish Songs of the Shoah A Source Study Based on the Collections of Shmerke Kaczerginski by Bret Charles Werb Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Timothy Rice, Chair This study examines the repertoire of Yiddish-language Shoah (or Holocaust) songs prepared for publication between the years 1945 and 1949, focusing its attention on the work of the most influential individual song collector, Shmerke Kaczerginski (1908-1954). Although a number of initiatives to preserve the “sung folklore” of the Nazi ghettos and camps were undertaken soon after the end of the Second World War, Kaczerginski’s magnum opus, the anthology Lider fun di getos un lagern (Songs of the Ghettos and Camps), published in New York in 1948, remains unsurpassed to this day as a resource for research in the field of Jewish folk and popular music of the Holocaust period. ii Chapter one of the dissertation recounts Kaczerginski’s life story, from his underprivileged childhood in Vilna, Imperial Russia (present-day Vilnius, Lithuania), to his tragic early death in Argentina. It details his political, social and literary development, his wartime involvement in ghetto cultural affairs and the underground resistance, and postwar sojourn from the Soviet sphere to the West. Kaczerginski’s formative years as a politically engaged poet and songwriter are shown to have underpinned his conviction that the repertoire of salvaged Shoah songs provided unique and authentic testimony to the Jewish experience of the war.

I argue that average Soviet citizens’ view of America was primarily informed by, and closely followed that of official propaganda. Deprived of any coherent information about America, Soviet citizens fell back on pre-World War II and even pre-Revolutionary views of America as an incredibly rich yet socially unjust country dominated by an insatiable pursuit of money. While these views did not remain static they adjusted to social and political events--the changes remained on the outer layers and did not touch the foundations of ordinary Soviet people’s image of America.

    SOURCES OF INSPIRATION IN SELECTED PIANO WORKS BY SERGEI SLONIMSKY D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yulia Kozlova, B.M., M.A. ****** The Ohio State University 2005 Document Committee: Approved by: Professor Steven M. Glaser, Adviser Dr. Kenneth T. Williams _________________________ Dr. R. J. David Frego Adviser Graduate Program in Music ABSTRACT Sergei Slonimsky is an important composer, without whom Russian music would be incomplete and less controversial. It is not easy to find composers who, with the same success, utilize virtually every existing classical and modern music genre in their compositions. His output covers opera, symphony, ballet, oratorio, and sonata. He is the author of numerous chamber compositions, music for folk instruments, and teaching pieces for children. His vividly imaginative compositions show a brilliant composer’s mastery. Slonimsky draws on many historical eras and cultural epochs: Antiquity, Middle Ages and Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism, and Romanticism. His music consists of a variety of images that contain an abundance of artistic information. However, most of Sergei Slonimsky’s works are unpublished and rarely performed in the United States. Included in the document is a biographical background of the composer as well as a description of his compositional style and accomplishments. The document will focus on the composer’s piano works and the extra-musical stimuli that inspired these compositions. The main emphasis of investigation will be related to the works inspired by music’s sister arts – painting and sculpture (the suite Three Graces and Passing-by Beauty).

  • NATIONAL CULTURE and SOVIET POLITICS in STALIN-ERA AZERBAIJAN and OTHER MINORITY REPUBLICS a Dissert
    THE ART OF NATION-BUILDING: NATIONAL CULTURE AND SOVIET POLITICS IN STALIN-ERA AZERBAIJAN AND OTHER MINORITY REPUBLICS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Isabelle Ruth Kaplan, A.M. Washington, DC August 22, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Isabelle Ruth Kaplan All Rights Reserved ii THE ART OF NATION-BUILDING: NATIONAL CULTURE AND SOVIET POLITICS IN STALIN-ERA AZERBAIJAN AND OTHER MINORITY REPUBLICS Isabelle Ruth Kaplan, A.M. Thesis Advisor: Michael David-Fox , Ph.D . ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the role of national cultural production and consumption in Soviet nation-building, focusing on Stalin-era Moscow’s promotion of cultural interaction among Soviet ethnic groups as a strategy to build individual national identities and a unified Soviet multinational identity simultaneously. Through a case study of Azerbaijan, I trace the emergence in the 1930s of formal sites of national self-expression and cross-cultural exchange such as dekada festivals of national art in Moscow and all-Union celebrations of national poets, arguing that these activities provided the presenting group a valuable opportunity for national self-definition and affirmation. At the same time, the state-mandated sharing of one nation’s art with the all-Union audience was part of a Soviet agenda to demonstrate the universally accessible essence of all culture and to narrow cultural difference through cross-cultural familiarization. More concretely, these events were a means of generating a Soviet multiethnic artistic canon to be disseminated as the heritage of all Soviet people, binding them together through a common cultural identity.
