INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

Terry Riley, La Monte Young, Steve Reich et Philip Glass, tous américains, sont considérés comme les pionniers de ce courant. Si beaucoup de ces compositeurs contestent l’étiquette minimaliste, réductrice à leurs yeux, leur approche se rejoint dans la recherche de nouvelles structures musicales, comme l’emploi de motifs répétitifs, une certaine forme de dépouillement et l’emploi de certains procédés spécifiques (la technique de « phasing » de Reich, utilisant simultanément des enregistrements avec un léger décalage). Les minimalistes ont intégré de nombreuses influences pour nourrir leur travail, le jazz et l’improvisation pour Terry Riley, la mouvance expérimentale pour La Monte Young, la musique indienne pour Philip Glass, les cultures africaines pour Steve Reich.
  • ¿Granados No Es Un Gran Maestro? Análisis Del Discurso Historiográfico Sobre El Compositor Y El Canon Nacionalista Español

    ¿Granados No Es Un Gran Maestro? Análisis Del Discurso Historiográfico Sobre El Compositor Y El Canon Nacionalista Español

    ¿Granados no es un gran maestro? Análisis del discurso historiográfico sobre el compositor y el canon nacionalista español MIRIAM PERANDONES Universidad de Oviedo Resumen Enrique Granados (1867-1916) es uno de los tres compositores que conforman el canon del Nacionalismo español junto a Manuel de Falla (1876- 1946) e Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909) y, sin embargo, este músico suele quedar a la sombra de sus compatriotas en los discursos históricos. Además, Granados también está fuera del “trío fundacional” del Nacionalismo formado por Felip Pedrell (1841-1922) —considerado el maestro de los tres compositores nacionalistas, y, en consecuencia, el “padre” del nacionalismo español—Albéniz y Falla. En consecuencia, uno de los objetivos de este trabajo es discernir por qué Granados aparece en un lugar secundario en la historiografía española, y cómo y en base a qué premisas se conformó este canon musical. Palabras clave: Enrique Granados, canon, Nacionalismo, historiografia musical. Abstract Enrique Granados (1867-1916) is one of the three composers Who comprise the canon of Spanish nationalism, along With Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) and Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909). HoWeVer, in the realm of historical discourse, Granados has remained in the shadoW of his compatriots. MoreoVer, Granados lies outside the “foundational trio” of nationalism, formed by Felip Pedrell (1841-1922)— considered the teacher of the three nationalist composer and, as a consequence, the “father” of Spanish nationalism—Albéniz y Falla. Therefore, one of the objectiVes of this study is to discern why Granados occupies a secondary position in Spanish historiography, and most importantly, for What reasons the musical canon eVolVed as it did.

ABSTRACT Composed between 1909 and 1946, Joaquín Turina’s five piano sonatas, Sonata romántica, Op. 3, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Op. 24, Sonata Fantasía, Op. 59, Concierto sin Orquesta, Op. 88 and Rincón mágico, Op. 97, combiNe established formal structures with folk-iNspired themes and elemeNts of FreNch ImpressioNism; each work incorporates a sonata-form movemeNt. TuriNa’s compositioNal techNique was iNspired by his traiNiNg iN Paris uNder ViNceNt d’Indy. The unifying effect of cyclic form, advocated by d’Indy, permeates his piano soNatas, but, combiNed with a typically NoN-developmeNtal approach to musical syNtax, also produces a mosaic-like effect iN the musical flow.

When I was composing the work, I had no accessory feelings or thoughts; I knew only that I had to fulfill the mantra. And it demanded itself, it just started blossoming. As it was being constructed through me, I somehow felt that it must be a very true picture of the way the cosmos is constructed, I’ve never worked on a piece before in which I was so sure that every note I was putting down was right. And this was due to the integral systemization - the combination of the scalar idea with the idea of deriving everything from the One. It shines very strongly. - Karlheinz Stockhausen Mantra is a seminal piece of the twentieth century, a pivotal work both in the context of Stockhausen’s compositional development and a tour de force contribution to the canon of music for two pianos. It was written in 1970 in two stages: the formal skeleton was conceived in Osaka, Japan (May 1 – June 20, 1970) and the remaining work was completed in Kürten, Germany (July 10 – August 18, 1970).

    un :al Chapter II a nd or Paris , 1918-45 ,-e ed MARK D EVOTO l.S. as es. 21 March 1918 was the first day of spring. T o celebrate it, the German he army, hoping to break a stalemate that had lasted more than three tat years, attacked along the western front in Flanders, pushing back the nv allied armies within a few days to a point where Paris was within reach an oflong-range cannon. When Claude Debussy, who died on 25 M arch, was buried three days later in the Pere-Laehaise Cemetery in Paris, nobody lingered for eulogies. The critic Louis Laloy wrote some years later: B. Th<' sky was overcast. There was a rumbling in the distance. \Vas it a storm, the explosion of a shell, or the guns atrhe front? Along the wide avenues the only traffic consisted of militarr trucks; people on the pavements pressed ahead hurriedly ... The shopkeepers questioned each other at their doors and glanced at the streamers on the wreaths. 'II parait que c'ctait un musicicn,' they said. 1 Fortified by the surrender of the Russians on the eastern front, the spring offensive of 1918 in France was the last and most desperate gamble of the German empire-and it almost succeeded. But its failure was decisive by late summer, and the greatest war in history was over by November, leaving in its wake a continent transformed by social lb\ convulsion, economic ruin and a devastation of human spirit. The four-year struggle had exhausted not only armies but whole civiliza­ tions.

    Les Forains – Ballet Urbain Anthony Egéa / Cie Rêvolution

    Les Forains – Ballet Urbain Anthony Egéa / Cie Rêvolution D’après Les Forains d’Henri Sauget, sur un argument de Boris Kochno – Éditions Salabert Chorégraphie : Anthony Égéa Interprétation : Sofiane Benkamla, Antoine Bouiges, Simon Dimouro, Manuel Guillaud, Jérôme Luca, Amel Sinapayen, Maxim Thach et Aurélien Vaudey Partie orchestrale enregistrée par l’Orchestre de Limoges, sous la direction de Philippe Forget Musique électro : Frank2Louise Scénographie et lumières : Florent Blanchon Costumes : Hervé Poeydomenge Un ballet urbain au confluent du classique et du hip-hop, un métissage culturel festif et détonant ! La création originale des Forains, dont la musique est signée Henri Sauguet, est un court ballet en un acte qui, en 1945, lança la carrière du chorégraphe Roland Petit, peu de temps après la libération. L’Opéra de Limoges et la Cie Rêvolution ont souhaité remettre à l’honneur et au goût du jour cette « fête de la jeunesse et de la danse », comme Jean Cocteau a si bien décrit cette œuvre, célébrant à nouveau le thème intemporel des forains et des artistes de rue. Anthony Égéa s’est donc emparé de cette œuvre du répertoire académique et en a réalisé une création totalement hybride, ingénieux croisement entre le classique et le hip-hop. Les Forains de Sauguet prennent alors place dans notre société contemporaine, où la danse urbaine se mêle poétiquement à la musique orchestrale. En écho à la partition originale, un musicien électro répond par la texture du son synthétique, créant un subtil anachronisme des genres. Sans être figé dans une esthétique particulière, il s’agit bien d’un dialogue permanent entre les styles que ces artistes saltimbanques nous suggèrent le temps d’un ballet urbain.

    FRENCH SYMPHONIES From the Nineteenth Century To The Present A Discography Of CDs And LPs Prepared by Michael Herman NICOLAS BACRI (b. 1961) Born in Paris. He began piano lessons at the age of seven and continued with the study of harmony, counterpoint, analysis and composition as a teenager with Françoise Gangloff-Levéchin, Christian Manen and Louis Saguer. He then entered the Paris Conservatory where he studied with a number of composers including Claude Ballif, Marius Constant, Serge Nigg, and Michel Philippot.
