  • Fables, Suite Grotesque, Requiescat, Adagio, Firelights
    wimpel69 Grand Shriner Join Date Aug 2011 Posts 4,148 Elisabetta Brusa: Fables, Suite Grotesque, Requiescat, Adagio, Firelights No.439 Born in Milan, Italy, in 1954, Elisabetta Brusa started composing before she was 5 and created over 30 piano pieces and a string quintet (kept by memory through the years) before starting Composition studies at the Conservatorio of Milan with Bruno Bettinelli, teacher of Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Muti, Riccardo Chailly, Maurizio Pollini, and Uto Ughi. She graduated with Azio Corghi in 1980 with a Diploma in Composition. From 1976 to 1981 she followed the composition courses at Dartington Hall, Great Britain, held by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, and from 1978 to 1985 she took periodic lessons from Hans Keller in London. The composer reflects on her works: "Firelights (1992-1993), for large orchestra, is a free fantasy inspired by various masterpieces written throughout the centuries for festive events such as fireworks, dances, mythological stories, chimerical and wild scenes and also phantasmagoric images and atmospheres. The work is dedicated to the conductor Fabio Mastrangelo. Adagio (1996), for string orchestra, is a freely structured composition in a single movement inspired by well-known masterpieces such as those of Albinoni, Mahler (Adagietto), Rodrigo and Barber. Independent of a pre-established form (sonata or suite), it originated as an autonomous composition in which neo-tonal techniques are amalgamated with contrapuntal techniques, and yet it follows a certain formal tradition and an expressive style which have distinguished the numerous Adagios of the past. Suite Grotesque (1986), for orchestra, consists of four free fantasy movements connected to one another by a grotesque atmosphere full of unexpected timbral and structural effects that create a phantasmagoric aura within a neo-tonal style.

  • 1 Ignacio Agrimbau, SOAS, University of London
    Ignacio Agrimbau, SOAS, University of London 'Tomorrow We Will Go Fishing': Exchanges Between Memory and Imagination in Two Different Verbalizations of a Dagara Xylophone Proverb In this paper I will examine two discrepant accounts of the meaning and origin of a Dagara xylophone (gyil) proverb (zukpar) in relation to the practical, discursive and ideological exchanges that occur between two different notions of competence among Dagara musicians: one that praises the imaginative creation of new gyil zukpar and another that conceives the preservation of old gyil zukpar as the key to the transmission of Dagara ancestral legacy (saakumu). During a trip to the Upper West Region of Ghana in 2010, I recorded a rendition of the Dagara funeral song-cycle (bine) by the 85 year-old Dagara gyil player Dumeh Balsab. This was followed by a series of feedback interviews in 2013-14 in which collaborators in the field stated different verbalizations and interpretations of one gyil zukpar. The findings obtained during a third period of data collection in 2015 provided an explanation of this inconsistency, but also indicated that the same individuals who expressed regret at the disappearance of old gyil zukpar – and the local history and social commentary that they transmit – had unanimously missed the original meaning conveyed by Dumeh Balsab. Following the approaches to the study of orature developed by Bauman (1975), Finnegan (1970, 1991, 2015) and Hymes (1996, 2003) and recent research on Dagara gyil zukpar by Woma (2013), Bodomo (2007) and Kuutiero (2006), this reflective ethnographic record will illustrate how the performativity of oral traditions enables different relationships between competing notions of competence and the politics of preservation of Dagara saakumu.
