His most notable performance was playing Romance de Amor in the 1941 film Blood and Sand. Gómez had a successful career performing and writing music as well as starting and maintaining two businesses, La Zambra nightclub in New York and the Academy of Spanish Arts in Los Angeles. The Vicente Gómez Collection documents his music library collection, his original compositions, teaching career, and his days in the U.S. Army. The collection includes scores, photographs, sound recordings, programs, and a trophy, and dates between 1862-1996. Language of Material: English,Spanish; Castilian,Russian,German,French Biographical Information: Vicente Gomez was a classical guitarist, composer, arranger, and teacher. He was born in 1911 in Madrid, Spain. He learned to play guitar when he was 8 years old in his father's tavern. At age twelve, he began training with Quintin Esquembre, who had studied with Francisco Tarrega, at Madrid's Real Conservatorio. After his first concert in 1924, he was encouraged to start a professional career. Between 1932 and 1933, Gomez played concerts in many countries, including Africa, Italy and throughout Russia. In 1936, he was invited to play in Leningrad, Russia but was unable to do so as the Spanish Civil War began the same day he was schedule to debut. Gomez was sympathetic to the Republicans during the Civil War, and with increasing numbers of Republicans being jailed, he sought refuge in France. During his time as a resident of France, Gomez played concerts in Cuba and Mexico. In 1937, an American agent discovered Gomez while listening to a radio broadcast, and persuaded him to go to New York. Gomez soon had his own 15-minute radio broadcast in the U.S. Decca released his first album in 1939. In 1941, Alfred Newman invited Gomez to contribute background music for the 20 th Century-Fox film, Blood and Sand, for which he played both flamenco and classical guitar music. Gomez became a U.S. citizen in 1943. After being discharged from the U.S. Army in 1946, he opened a popular nightclub, La Zambra, in New York. The Classical Guitar Society of New York, of which he was president, used the club as the meeting place. In 1953, Gomez moved to Los Angeles where he opened the Academy of Spanish Arts, a school devoted to teaching classical and flamenco guitar, flamenco dance, ballet, the Spanish language, and bull fighting. Over the next few years, Gomez continued to compose music for films as well as for Garcia-Lorca's play, Blood Wedding. He also produced music for a documentary on the famous Spanish painter, Francisco Goya, and composed Rio Flamenco, a concerto for guitar and orchestra. Gomez passed away in 2001 at the age of 90 in Burbank, California. Scope and Contents The Vicente Gómez Collection documents the musical history of guitarist, composer, arranger, performer, conductor, and teacher, Vicente Gomez. The primary focus of this collection are Gomez's compositions and arrangements, the Academy of Spanish Arts, and his music library, part of which was used to arrange music. His teaching career, dedicated to the Spanish Arts such as Spanish guitar, Bullfighting, and flamenco, were a focal point to many Los Angeles area students. Most significant are Gomez's music collection and his career as composer, arranger, and teacher, which are closely tied with various film and theatre productions, such as the motion picture Blood and Sand and Garcia Lorca's Blood Wedding. The collection includes original scores and orchestration, sheet music, programs, photographs, and research articles. It dates from 1920-1993 with the bulk of the material from 1940-1979. The collection is divided into four series: Music Library (1894-1986), Works (1940-1996), Arrangements (1862-1988), and Professional Career (1931-1993). Series I, Music Library, consists of sheet music scores collected or acquired from various composers with varied instrumentation. A few items from the library have been inscribed and/or signed by original composers such as Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. Works in this series are in many languages, including Russian, Japanese, German, Italian, and Spanish. The series is organized alphabetically by the original composer's last name. Items with multiple composers have been filed by the first composer listed, anthologies have been filed under "Anthologies." Guide to the Vicente Gómez IGRA.VGC 2 Collection Series II, Works, consists of original pieces created by Vicente Gómez. This series includes compositions that are divided into two subseries, Original Compositions (1940-1996) and Productions (1940-1986). Original Compositions are works first composed by Gómez. The Productions subseries is music written for film, TV, and theater, including the music from the 1941 motion picture Blood and Sand. This series is filed alphabetically by title. Series III, Arrangements, consists of arrangements, revisions, transcriptions, edits, fingerings, and other music by various composers. The majority of the series consists of Gomez arrangements, some published while others are in their original pencil or pen writings. The series includes lesser-known arrangements of popular and holiday songs, as well as arrangements of other famous works such as La Cumparsita, a famous tango by Matos Rodriguez. Some works by the original composer are included in this series alongside Gomez's arrangement. Dates were written based on original composition or copyright date listed on the music. Arrangements are filed alphabetically by original composer or creator. Series IV, Professional Career, consists of materials from the Vicente Gomez Academy of Spanish Arts and other career related material. Items in this series focus on his career as a teacher, a composer, and arranger. The series includes student programs, a school record book, photographs, sound recordings, and a trophy. The Professional Career materials are filed alphabetically by subject or title. Arrangement of Materials: Series I: Music Library, 1894-1986 Series II: Works, 1940-1996 Subseries A: Compositions, 1940-1996 Subseries B: Productions, 1940-1986 Series III: Arrangements, 1862-1988 Series IV: Professional Career, 1931-1993 Conditions Governing Access: This collection is open for research use.

  • Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment
    Introduction To Flamenco: Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment by "Flamenco Chuck" Keyser P.O. Box 1292 Santa Barbara, CA 93102 [email protected] http://users.aol.com/BuleriaChk/private/flamenco.html © Charles H. Keyser, Jr. 1993 (Painting by Rowan Hughes) Flamenco Philosophy IA My own view of Flamenco is that it is an artistic expression of an intense awareness of the existential human condition. It is an effort to come to terms with the concept that we are all "strangers and afraid, in a world we never made"; that there is probably no higher being, and that even if there is he/she (or it) is irrelevant to the human condition in the final analysis. The truth in Flamenco is that life must be lived and death must be faced on an individual basis; that it is the fundamental responsibility of each man and woman to come to terms with their own alienation with courage, dignity and humor, and to support others in their efforts. It is an excruciatingly honest art form. For flamencos it is this ever-present consciousness of death that gives life itself its meaning; not only as in the tragedy of a child's death from hunger in a far-off land or a senseless drive-by shooting in a big city, but even more fundamentally in death as a consequence of life itself, and the value that must be placed on life at each moment and on each human being at each point in their journey through it. And it is the intensity of this awareness that gave the Gypsy artists their power of expression.

    COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES MUSIC LIBRARY ZARZUELA COLLECTION [Shelvedoff-sST BlOTJ^ COU-tCTloh) -XS Shelvedoffeftf 1993 CONTENTS page DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION 1 LISTING OF CONTENTS IN BOXORDER 4 BIBLIOGRAPHIC TITLE SHEETS (duplicates are included in boxes and have been filmed with the materials) COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES MUSIC LIBRARY ZARZUELA COLLECTION DESCRIPTION The Zarzuela Collection at Columbia University consists of almost five hundred different zarzuelas. Both nineteenth and twentieth century works are represented by libretti, scores, and separate instrumental parts. Formats include printed, typewritten, and handwritten items. Many of the libretti contain role assignments and other handwritten notes which indicate they were used by a traveling zarzuela company. Among the authors of the libretti are Javer de Bergos y Sarragoiti, Jose Estremero y Cuenca, Jacinto Benavente, and the Quintero brothers. BACKGROUND The Zarzuela Collection was given to the Columbia Music Library by the Hispanic Institute in 1986. The Institute was founded in 1916 as the Instituto de las Espanas en los Estados Unidos by Frederico de Onis, the year he became head of the Spanish Department at Columbia University. In 1940 the Institute acquired its present name, and in 1961 it moved to the Columbia campus. Since there was no space in the new quarters for the collection, it was donated to the Music Library in two installments — the first included the music scores, the second the libretti and other texts. The source and original organization of the collection are difficult to determine, since the card catalog which accompanied it did not accurately reflect it. In an unpublished study, Janet L.

  • Passacaglia PRINT
    On Shifting Grounds: Meandering, Modulating, and Möbius Passacaglias David Feurzeig Passacaglias challenge a prevailing assumption underlying traditional tonal analysis: that tonal motion proceeds along a unidirectional “arrow of time.” The term “continuous variation,” which describes characteristic passacaglia technique in contrast to sectional “Theme and Variations” movements, suggests as much: the musical impetus continues forward even as the underlying progression circles back to its starting point. A passacaglia describes a kind of loop. 1 But the loop of a traditional passacaglia is a rather flattened one, ovoid rather than circular. For most of the pattern, the tonal motion proceeds in one direction—from tonic to dominant—then quickly drops back to the tonic, like a skier going gradually up and rapidly down a slope. The looping may be smoother in tonic-requiring passacaglia themes (those which end on the dominant) than in tonic- providing themes, as the dominant harmony propels the music across the “seam” between successive statements of the harmonic pattern. But in both types, a clear dominant-tonic cadence tends to work against a sense of seamless circularity. This is not the case for some more recent passacaglias. A modern compositional type, which to my knowledge has not been discussed before as such, is the modulatory passacaglia.2 Modulating passacaglia themes subvert tonal closure via progressions which employ elements of traditional tonality but veer away from the putative tonal center. Passacaglias built on these themes may take on a more truly circular form, with no obvious start or endpoint. This structural ambiguity is foreshadowed in some Baroque ground-bass compositions.

In pre- senting this event it has been my honor to work closely with Jason Vieaux, 2015 Grammy Award Winner and Cleveland Institute of Music Guitar Department Head; Colin Davin, recently appointed to the Cleveland Institute of Music’s Conservatory Guitar Faculty; and Tom Poore, a highly devoted guitar teacher and superb writer. Our reasons for presenting this Festival are fivefold: (1) to help increase the awareness and respect due artists whose exemplary work has enhanced our lives and the lives of others; (2) to entertain; (3) to educate; (4) to encourage deeper thought and discussion about how we listen to, perform, and evaluate fine music; and, most important, (5) to help facilitate heightened moments of human awareness. In our experience participation in the live performance of fine music is potentially one of the highest social ends towards which we can aspire as performers, music students, and audience members. For it is in live, heightened moments of musical magic—when time stops and egos dissolve—that often we are made most conscious of our shared humanity. Armin Kelly, Founder and Artistic Director Cleveland International Classical Guitar Festival Acknowledgements We wish to thank the following for their generous support of this event: The Cleveland Institute of Music: Gary Hanson, Interim President; Lori Wright, Director, Concerts and Events; Marjorie Gold, Concert Production Manager; Gina Rendall, Concert Facilities Coordinator; Susan Iler, Director of Marketing and Communications; Lynn M.

  • DE PLAYERAS Y SEGUIDILLAS La Seguiriya Y Su Legendario Nacimiento
    DE PLAYERAS y SEGUIDILLAS La Seguiriya y su legendario nacimiento Guillermo Castro Buendía Musicólogo especializado en Flamenco Introducción En el flamenco, parece que nunca está dicha la última palabra en materia de investigación. En pleno siglo XXI, a nosotros todavía nos asaltan dudas en aspectos relacionados con el origen musical de algunos palos, sobre todo de los primeros en formarse: es el caso de la seguiriya. En este trabajo vamos a hacer un análisis de las músicas que sirvieron de soporte a los diferentes tipos estróficos cultivados en la seguiriya, para intentar comprender el origen musical y desarrollo de este singular e importante estilo, uno de los puntales del género flamenco. Para ello utilizaremos los documentos musicales que hemos podido encontrar desde principios del siglo XIX, época aún preflamenca, hasta principios del siglo XX, momento en que la seguiriya ya se encontraba plenamente definida y estructurada desde el punto de vista flamenco. Igualmente, realizaremos un profuso estudio de los metros que aparecen en la seguiriya, siendo éste un aspecto muy particular e importante –creemos nosotros– dentro de la transmisión oral y, en particular, de este estilo flamenco. Recomendamos la impresión de este extenso trabajo para una mayor comodidad de lectura. Hemos incluido un índice al final (pág. 150) para facilitar el acceso a los diferentes puntos del mismo. Preliminares ―Lo flamenco‖ Uno de los problemas que arrastra el flamenco en su faceta de investigación es la propia definición de ―lo flamenco‖, y su aplicación en las distintas etapas que como arte ha venido desarrollando. Es evidente que ―lo flamenco‖ desde el punto de vista musical, no fue igual a mediados del siglo XIX que a finales, o ya entrado el siglo XX, y no digamos en las últimas décadas del pasado siglo.

  • The Solo Classical Guitar Concerto
    The solo classical guitar concerto: A soloist’s preparatory guide to selected works by Josina Nina Fourie-Gouws © University of Pretoria The solo classical guitar concerto: A soloist’s preparatory guide to selected works by Josina Nina Fourie-Gouws A mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Music (Performing Art) Department of Music Faculty of Humanities University of Pretoria Supervisor: Professor Wessel van Wyk Co-supervisor: Abri Jordaan September 2017 © University of Pretoria ABSTRACT The study addresses the preparatory information needs of potential performers of solo classical guitar concerti. Identifying a range of specific decisions that play an important part in the pre-performance planning of an anticipated concerto performance provides performance considerations for each selected concerto. The content of six solo classical guitar concerti spanning almost 180 years by six composers from four countries was analysed for the purpose of this study. Two early guitar concerti by guitarist composers Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) and Ferdinando Carulli (1770-1841), two modern concerti by non-guitarist composers Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) and Joaquín Rodrigo (1901-1999) and two modern concerti by guitarist composers Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) and Leo Brouwer (b.1939) were investigated. The study examines specific compositional and performance aspects of each concerto to serve as a guideline for professional performers, students and teachers. Each concerto was analysed according to similar themes: the historical significance of the investigated concerti, pre-performance considerations, the level of difficulty of selected concerti, technical observations, performance recommendations and observations regarding balance between the soloist and orchestra.
