Program Program Notes El Tareo en Flor - Luis Gianneo Please silence all electronic devices for the duration of the concert. Thank you. Luis Gianneo was an Argentinian composer, pianist, and conductor who was born in 1897 and died in 1968. Giannco was one of the principal figures in Argentina who made many great contributions . the development of the classical music in his country. He also made contributions when he was a El Tarco en Flor (1930) Luis Gian. (1897- 1 ember of the Gmpo &11ovaciti11 (Renovation Group), an Argentinian composer's association • founded in 1929 to promote modern music. His compositional style evolved from musical nationnlism in his early works, to neoclassicism in his middle stage, and the use of dodecaphonic Divertimento in D Major, K: 136 (1772) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart procedures in hi~ Inter compositions. In each of these phases, he always used musical clements I. Allegro (1756-1791) from the folk music of Argentina. Il. Andante III. Presto Gianneo made his primary career as a teacher of young musicians, working in the principal conservatories and Universities of Arts in Argentina. He also created two of the principal youth orchestras in the middle of the twentieth century in Argentina: Orqmsta Silifti11ica J11ve11il Argmti11a d, - INTERMISSION - Radio ti M1111do and Orq11tsla Si1ifti11ica J11umil d, Radio dd Ettado. El Tarro ,,, Flor is a symphonic poem composed in 1930 when Giannco was living in Tucuman, one Symphony No. 7, Op. 92 in A Major (1812) Ludwig van Beethoven of the principal cities in northwest Argentina. Gianneo improved the musical life of Tucuman, premiering an abundant amount of contemporary music from composers like Stravinsky, Debussy I. Poco sostcnuto-Vivacc (1770-1827) II. Allegretto and Respighi, as well as his own works. III. Presto IV. Allegro con brio El Tarro m Flor belongs to Gianneo 's nationnlist phase, and in this work, we can hear some of the principal folk melodics and rhythms of Argentina mixed with great orchestration which show the different colors of the landscapes of Tucuman and the north of the country. El Tarro m Flor describes the flowering of El Tarco, a typical tree from Argentina that blooms a violet-colored flower in the spring. This tree has a big presence throughout Argentina, and every . pring it gives the cities a special color and unique atmosphere. Divertimento in D Major, K. 136 - W. A. Mozart By the age of 16, when he wrote this D Mqjor Divertinm1to, Mozart had already spent over two years • away from his home town of Salzburg. He had lived in London and Paris and travelled throughout Austria, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Italy. In addition to giving conce_rts at court in order to fill his family's pockets with gold rings, snuffboxes and watches, he met many of the famous musicians of the time and had opportunities to study and hear their music. Musical styles and traditions were different in every country and Mozart's early compositions are often case­ studies in where his travels had most recently taken him. He wrote tl1e three Divertimmti, K 136-8 in Salzburg, after the second of three extended trips to Italy. A final trip to Italy was already in the planning and the Itnlinn influence on Mozart's writing is strong. \Ve can't be cert'lin whetl1er he wrote the Divertimmtos for a specific occasion and even the title 'Divertimento' was added by another hand, probably that of his fatl1er, Leopold. The three divertimentos are published in the complete Mozart Edition as a sort of appendage to the string quartets and their performance citl1cr by a one-on-a-part string quartet, as today, or by a larger string ensemble, work equally well.

  • The Devil's Horn and the Music of the Brothel
    THE DEVIL’S HORN AND THE MUSIC OF THE BROTHEL APPROACHING ADAPTATION AND PERFORMANCE OF TANGO FOR THE CLASSICAL SAXOPHONIST A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music The University of Sydney Jonathan Byrnes 200108443 October 2015 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to establish a concise and well-considered approach to the performance of tango music by a classical saxophonist. It explores the significance of adaptation to a saxophonist by investigating the integral role it has had on the performance, promotion and education throughout the instrument’s history. To this end, this thesis also traces the tradition of adaptation in Western Classical music. When approaching the adaptation of tango it is important to recognise the differences in the music’s culture. We are ultimately changing the context of the music by arranging it for another instrument. Therefore, a fervent discussion of the issues surrounding the idea of schizophonic mimesis are explored in an effort to maintain due respect for the original composition while bringing something new to it. The impact of schizophonic mimesis on our audience’s expectations, the stylisation of music, and the respect to the tradition of the other culture are discussed, and establish the need for a well- informed and stylistic approach. To help address the various issues, this thesis gives a historical account of, what we will refer to as the tango’s ‘tangible’ and ‘intangible’ stylistic traits, and will propose a new approach to saxophone tango performance through a series of established and novel techniques.
