Spanish Music and Its Representations in London (1878-1930): from the Exotic to the Modern Spanish Music and its Representations in London (1878-1930): From the Exotic to the Modern. Kenneth James Murray Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2013 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper ABSTRACT This thesis argues that the landscape of Spanish music in London evolved between 1878 and 1930 from Romantic exotic constructions to a recognition and appreciation of Spanish musical nationalism, which reflected some of the concerns of post-war musical modernism in a newly cosmopolitan context. This transformation will be traced through the study of specific protagonists and events that contributed to the English reception of Spanish music during this period. While the development of Spanish nationalist music and its important intersections with French music have been studied in numerous texts, little has been written on the English engagement with Spanish music. A key event in defining musical and theatrical Spain in the latter part of the nineteenth century came from France in the guise of George Bizet's Carmen (1875, London 1878). The opera, and its many parodies and theatrical re-workings in London, provides a foundation for discussions of Spanishness in late nineteenth-century England, and influenced the reception of Pablo Sarasate and Isaac Albéniz. In the Edwardian era, closer ties between England and Spain, increased travel possibilities and specialist writers rekindled enthusiasm for Spanish music. The anti- German currents of the pre-war years and the influence of French writers and musicians set the scene for the further English appreciation of Spanish music in the aftermath of the death of Enrique Granados in 1916. The English success of the Ballets Russes production of The Three-Cornered Hat (1919), with music by Manuel de Falla, marked the broader acceptance of Spanish musical nationalism. With the critical recognition of Falla's neoclassical works of the 1920s Spanish music achieved further acknowledgement in England from cosmopolitan critics. At the same time the Spanish guitar was seen to embody many aspects of post-war Spanish music, and through the concerts of Andrés Segovia established itself in a new guise in London. By 1930, the recognition and popularity of Spanish music indicated the extent to which it had integrated and evolved beyond the Romantic stereotypes prevalent half a century earlier. This is to certify that (i) the thesis comprises only my original work, except where indicated in the preface (ii) due acknowledgment has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is less than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices.

Introduction From a musical point of view Spain has for generations been a sort of Ruritania, an imaginary country which existed only as a department of the theatrical costumier's warehouse. Thanks to Albéniz, Granados and others, we are at last beginning to realize that Spain has a musical life of its own...De Falla arrives at an opportune moment. He finds here in London an audience ready prepared with a knowledge of his Spanish predecessors, and with a knowledge, too, of Stravinsky and other non- Spanish composers whom he has evidently studied to some purpose.' So wrote Edward Dent in response to the 1919 London premiere of The Three- Cornered Hat presented by the Ballets Russes with music by Manuel de Falla. As Dent observed, London audiences had an extensive and significant history of engagement with Spanish music and dance, and Falla's music for The Three- Cornered Hat marked a new critical appreciation of Spanish works in London. In this thesis I will draw on selected examples of the English experience of Spanish music (and to a lesser extent dance) over the previous four decades in order to illustrate changes that led to the acceptance of Spain as a nation with its own musical nationalism. The main period under consideration in this thesis is from the London premiere of Carmen in 1878 to 1930. For much of the nineteenth century Spain was considered part of the exotic Orient, a place where traditions remained unchanged, while powerful Western nations were creating empires.

  • Spanish Women Composers, a Critical Equation Susan Campos
    Between Left-led Republic and Falangism? Spanish Women Composers, a Critical Equation Susan Campos Fonseca Director, Women’s Studies in Music Research Group Society for Ethnomusicology (SIBE), Spain A Critical Equation The nature of this research depends on the German concept Vergangenheitsbewältigung, a term consisting of the words Vergangenheit (past) and Bewältigung (improvement), equivalent to “critical engagement with the past.”1 This term is internationalized in the sense that it express the particular German problem regarding the involvement that the generations after Second World War had with the Nazis crimes. Germany forced itself to take a leading role in addressing critically their own history. Spain offered in this area for a long time a counterexample. The broader debate on the valuation of the recent past carried out both in politics and in public life only began at the turn of the century, for example in the legislative period from 2004 to 2008 with the “Ley de Memoria” (Memory Law), which sought moral and material compensation for victims of Civil War and Dictatorship.2 But the law is a consequence not a cause. 1 W. L. Bernecker & S. Brinkmann, Memorias divididas. Guerra civil y franquismo en la sociedad y la política españolas (1936-2008) (Madrid: ABADA Ed./Sociedad Estatal de Conmemoraciones Culturales, 2009). [Author’s translation.] 2 Ibid., 8. Therefore, I present this research as a work in progress,3 because today bio- bibliographies devoted to recover the legacy of Spanish women composers during this period show an instrumental absence of this type of analysis, and instead have favored nationalistic appreciations.

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters.

On stage with guitarist Antonio Toledo, Germán harnesses the grit of Spanish flamenco, the structure of West African rhythms, the flourishing spirit of jazz, and an innovative 21st century approach to performing “island music.” His principal instrument is one of the grandfathers of the ‘ukelele’, and part of the same instrumental family that includes the cavaquinho, the cuatro and the charango. Germán López’s music has been praised for “entrancing” performances of “delicately rippling notes” (Huffington Post), notes that flow from musical traditions uniting Spain, Africa, and the New World. The “timple” is a diminutive 5 stringed instrument intrinsic to music of the Canary Islands. Of all the hypotheses that exist about the origin of the “timple”, the most widely accepted is that it descends from the European baroque guitar, smaller than the classical guitar, and with five strings. Tickets for Germán López are on sale now at www.fwpaec.org or by calling 2535-835-7010. The Performing Arts and Event Center is located at 31510 Pete von Reichbauer Way South, Federal Way, WA 98003. We’ll see you at the show! About the PAEC The Performing Arts & Event Center opened August of 2017 as the South King County premier center for entertainment in the region.
