Vrouwelijke Componisten, Keuzelijst 2017 Vrouwelijke componisten Keuzelijst naar aanleiding van Vrouwendag 8 maart 2017 Vrouwelijke componisten (Keuzelijst naar aanleiding van Vrouwendag 8 maart 2017) We gaan ons niet wagen aan een analyse waaruit zou moeten blijken wat het verschil is tussen de muziek van mannelijke en vrouwelijke componisten. Met de natte vinger zou men wel kunnen stellen dat vrouwen meer liederen en kamermuziek schreven en het grotere werk, zoals symfonische muziek aan de mannen overlieten. Vrouwen schijnen sowieso merkelijk zwaar in de minderheid. Hier vermelden we in principe alleen componistes waarvan we werk in onze collectie hebben. Er is slechts één uitzondering. Bronnen: http://www.charlottehansson.nl/vrouwelijke%20componisten_middeleeuwen%20tot%20begin%201 8de%20eeuw.htm Vrouwelijke Componisten Openbare bibliotheek Kortrijk maart 2017 p.2 Middeleeuwen 1. Kassia (Constantinopel, ca. 810 - ca. 865) In het Grieks wordt ze ook Kassiani genoemd. Ze was vooral een Byzantijnse abdis, dichteres en hymnografe. Op Wikipedia kun je heel wat details vinden over haar leven dat ze zou geleid hebben. Maar opgelet, bronnen uit die periode kunnen wel eens de mythische kant op gaan. Composities • De gevallen vrouw Recital ENSEMBLE Capella de Ministrers 1 CD 2. Hildegard von Bingen (1098 - 1179) Zij is niet alleen gekend dichteres en componiste, maar ook als mystica, kruidendeskundige, abdis en kerklerares. Ze correspondeerde met Bernardus van Clairvaux, keizer Frederik Barbarossa en Paus Eugenius III. Ze schreef een liturgisch drama met de titel “Ordro virtutum” (Orde der deugden), naast heel wat ander liturgisch werk. Haar muziek onderscheidt zich van het gregoriaans door een veel groter toonbereik en grotere intervallen. Bovendien zijn de melismen (versieringen op een lettergreep) anders dan in het gregoriaans.

Anonieme muziek van begijnen In de middeleeuwse steden waren veel alleenstaande vrouwen, die wel een religieus leven wilden leiden, maar het klooster een stap te ver vonden. Een begijnhof was dan een ideale tussenoplossing, omdat hun geloften tijdelijk waren. In die besloten gemeenschappen ontstond dan ook een subcultuur, waarbij ook muziek gemaakt werd. De muziek op onderstaande cd’s werd genoteerd in de 17de eeuw, maar had oudere wortels. Beghinae I / Psallentes femina Recital KOOR Psallentes Femina 1 CD Beghinae I & II / Psallentes femina Recital KOOR Psallentes 3 CD Vrouwelijke Componisten Openbare bibliotheek Kortrijk maart 2017 p.5 4. Comtessa Beatriz de Dia (12de eeuw) De gravin van Dia (de gemeente Die in het Franse departement Drôme) was een trobairitz uit de 12de eeuw. Dat is een vrouwelijke troubadour. Ze leefde misschien tot in het begin van de 13de eeuw • A chantar m'er non volria (ook gekend als : A chantar m'er de so qu'en no volria ) Magazijn cd 44644 • Estat ai en greu cossirer Magazijn cd 27459 • Plang, klaaglied Recital ENSEMBLE Musiciens de Provence 1 CD 5. Dame Maroie de Dregneau de Lille (vrouwelijke trouvère, 13de E) In onze collectie hebben we niets van deze vrouw, maar op youtube zal men wel iets vinden. En in de bibliotheek van Waregem is er een CD met een werk van haar. Ik vermeld ze omdat ze uit de streek is en dus bewijst dat Marie de France niet de enige trobairitz van het noorden zou zijn 6. Birgitta van Zweden (1303-1373) Zij was de Zweedse evenknie van Hildegard von Bingen, met dien verstande dat ze 2 eeuwen later leefde. Naast mystica was ze ook de stichteres van de birgittinessen en birgittijnen. Haar werk vind je op de volgende cd. • Alleluia / Deens Hildegard Ensemble KOOR Deens Hildegard Ensemble 1 CD Vrouwelijke Componisten Openbare bibliotheek Kortrijk maart 2017 p.6 Renaissance Hansson schrijft dat er in de renaissance pas vanaf 1566 vrouwelijke componisten opdoken. Er moeten er al eerder geweest, maar blijkbaar was de sociale druk zo sterk, dat ze het auteursschap niet konden opnemen of erkennen. Bovendien vinden we geen enkel in onze collectie. Vandaar dat we met spijt de renaissance overslaan. Vroegbarok 7. Vittoria (Raffaela) Aleotti (Ferrara, 1575 - na 1620) Er is een beetje verwarring over haar identiteit, want mogelijks heeft ze zelf haar voornaam veranderd van Vittoria naar Raffaela. Ze bespeelde diverse instrumenten, zoals klavecimbel, orgel en en blazers, waaronder zelfs trombone. Ze liet haar muziek publiceren. • Cor mio perche pur piangi ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD • Hor che la vaga Aurora ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD • Mentre l'ardite labbia ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD 8. Francesca Caccini (Firenze, 1587- na 1641) Ze was de dochter van de componist van Giulio Caccini. Haar bijnaam was "La Cecchina", vermoedelijk een Florentijns diminutief van "Francesca". Ze kreeg een humanistische opleiding (Latijn, Grieks, moderne talen en literatuur en wiskunde). Ze trouwde twee maal met een kunstzinnige man, wat haar productie ten goed kwam. Veel vocale muziek, waaronder 5 opera’s. Mogelijks is zij de luitspeelster op onderstaand schilderij. • Chi è costei Recital VOCAAL Kiehr 3 CD • Io mi distruggo Recital VOCAAL Kiehr 3 CD • Lasciatemi qui solo (2 uitvoeringen ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD • Maria, dolce Maria Recital VOCAAL Kiehr 3 CD • O che nuovo stupor Magazijn cd 9079 • Per la più vaga e bella ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD Vrouwelijke Componisten Openbare bibliotheek Kortrijk maart 2017 p.7 9. Caterina Assandra (1590 - 1618) Deze benedictijnse non schreef motetten in wat toen de “romeinse stijl” van het begin van de 17de eeuw genoemd werd. Ze was ook organiste. • Ave verum corpus ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD • Canzon a 4 (di Benedetto Rè) Recital VOCAAL Kiehr 3 CD • Duo Seraphim Recital VOCAAL Kiehr 3 CD • Ego flos campi ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD • Haec dies ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD • Impleos nostrum ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD • O dulcis amor Jesu ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD • O quam suavis Recital VOCAAL Kiehr 3 CD • O salutaris hostia Recital VOCAAL Kiehr 3 CD Vrouwelijke Componisten Openbare bibliotheek Kortrijk maart 2017 p.8 10. Lucrezia Orsina Vizzana (1590 - 1662) Deze non uit Bologna was zangeres, organiste en componiste. Haar stijl was beïnvloed door de stile moderno (ook secondo prattica genoemd) zoals van Claudio Monteverdi. Ave stella Magazijn cd 1709 O invictissima Magazijn cd 1709 Protector noster Magazijn cd 1709 Vrouwelijke Componisten Openbare bibliotheek Kortrijk maart 2017 p.9 11. Barbara Strozzi (Venetië, 1609 - Padua, 1677) Aan haar vermoedelijk portret hieronder is duidelijk te zien dat ze geen non was zoals de meeste vorige componistes L'amante bugiardo L'amante segreto Magazijn cd 12526 Amor dormiglione (2) Magazijn cd 12526 Ardo in tacito foco Magazijn cd 12526 Ariette a voce sola, op.6 ; Bel desio che mi torment STROZZI 3.2 CD Begli occhi Magazijn cd 12526 Costume de' grandi Magazijn cd 12526 Diporti di Euterpe, op.7 ; Lagrime mie Magazijn cd 12526 STROZZI 3.2 CD L'Eraclito amoroso (2) Magazijn cd 12526 Hor che Apollo è a Teti in seno, "Serenata con violini" (2) Magazijn cd 12526 La sol fa mi re do Magazijn cd 12526 Serenata con violini, op.8, "Sinfonia" STROZZI 3.2 CD Sete pur fastidioso ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD Sino alla morte Magazijn cd 12526 Sul Rodano severo, "Lamento" STROZZI 3.2 CD La vendetta Magazijn cd 12526 Vrouwelijke Componisten Openbare bibliotheek Kortrijk maart 2017 p.10 12. Isabella Leonarda (1620 - 1704) Als non behoorde ze tot de orde van de Ursulinen. Ze schreef zowel liturgische als instrumentale muziek. Vooral dat laatste was in een zeer moderne stijl voor haar tijd Ave suavis dilectio Recital VOCAAL Kiehr 3 CD Jam diu dilecte mi Jesu ONDERWERP Barok 3 CD Sonate voor instrumenten [1-4], op.16 Recital VOCAAL Kiehr 3 CD Vrouwelijke Componisten Openbare bibliotheek Kortrijk maart 2017 p.11 Hoogbarok 13. Anna Bon di Venezia (Rusland?, 1739 ? - na 1767) Anna Bon is geboren in Rusland, omdat haar ouders daar als rondreizende muzikanten verbleven. Italiaanse muziek was immers enorm populair bij de Russische adel in de 18de eeuw. Sei sonate per il cembalo Magazijn cd 2007 Vrouwelijke Componisten Openbare bibliotheek Kortrijk maart 2017 p.12 Romantiek 14.

Cellular Songs pairs voice with movement, instrumentation, and a site-specific video installation to explore the interconnected, ineffable relationship between human beings and the natural world. Following Monk’s celebrated On Behalf of Nature (2014 Next Wave), Cellular Songs contemplates the fundamental unit of life and its relation to the universe. Drawing inspiration from biological processes— layering, replication, division, and mutation—Monk looks to underlying systems in nature that can serve as a prototype for human behavior in our tumultuous world.

Salame On Behalf of Nature As I began working on On Behalf of Nature, I asked myself the question: “how would one create an ecological art work that didn’t make more waste in the world?” Live performances leave no traces except, hopefully, in the minds of audience members. This ephemeral aspect is both poignant and exhilarating. Sometimes though, the desire for novelty and surface excitement leads to buying a lot of new things, spending a great deal of money for an experience that lasts only a few hours.

  • There Are Three Composers That I Have at One Time Or Another Tried to Play
    Love Will Come – new long web notes: There are three composers that I have at one time or another tried to play all of their songs: New Orleans R&B pianist Professor Longhair, The Doors, and Vince Guaraldi...Vince Guaraldi and his music are so much a part of the deep heart and soul of San Francisco, and of the experience of childhood, and beyond.” — George Winston In 1996, George released his first album of Guaraldi compositions, entitled LINUS AND LUCY - THE MUSIC OF VINCE GUARALDI. It nicely mixed well known-standards like the title track and Cast Your Fate to the Wind, with less well-known material, including some music cues that had only been heard in the soundtracks. George’s second album of Guaraldi music delves even deeper into the repertoire, uncovering some hidden gems. Like many musicians of his generation, George Winston first heard the music of San Francisco based jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi on his 1962 hit Cast Your Fate to the Wind, and on the 1965 televised Peanuts® animation special A Charlie Brown Christmas. First aired on the CBS network in 1965, the television special was created by the Peanuts® comic strip creator Charles Schulz (1922-2000), writer/producer Lee Mendelson (1933-2019), and former Warner Brothers animator Bill Melendez (1916-2008). Vince Guaraldi was hired to compose the jazz soundtrack, a bold step for network television at that time. Vince completed the diamond that was the Dream Team. At first, some executives at CBS weren’t fully on board about using jazz for the music soundtrack.

  • Meredith Monk Piano Songs Ursula Oppens Bruce
    For Immediate Release MEREDITH MONK PIANO ELLENEllen Jacobs JACOBS Associates SONGS ASSOCIATES611 Broadway Suite 403 New York, NY 10012 USA URSULA T: 212.245.5100 F: 212.397.1102 OPPENS [email protected] BRUCE www.ejassociates.org BRUBAKER photo credit : Julieta Cervantez “PIANO SONGS,” A COMPILATION OF PIANO MUSIC BY MEREDITH MONK, PERFORMED BY URSULA OPPENS AND BRUCE BRUBAKER, TO BE RELEASED BY ECM IN US, MAY 6 Piano Songs, a newly released ECM CD containing some of Meredith Monk’s most beloved compositions for the instrument, features new music pianists Ursula Oppens and Bruce Brubaker. Marking one of the rare times others have recorded the celebrated composer’s work, Piano Songs underscores the music’s vibrant and independent life. Ten years ago, WNYC radio host John Schaeffer suggested that Monk seek artists not usually associated with her music to perform as part of her 40th anniversary concert at Zankell Hall. Ursula Oppens, perhaps. Monk and Oppens were instantly smitten with each other’s talents. It was also at Zankell that Oppens first teamed up with Brubaker -- a dream team to-be. Monk discovered her fascination with two-piano musical composition when she created “Ellis Island,” first playing one part, recording it, then overdubbing the other. Questions rapidly arose: What are the relationships and possibilities between the two pianos? How do you create dialogues between the instruments? What about interlocking phrases? “In some pieces, I emphasized the individuality of each piano, writing for one player as the ‘singer,’ the other as the ‘accompaniment;’” Monk wrote in the CD’s liner notes, “in other pieces I wanted the two pianos to make one large sound.” Oppens and Brubaker’s natural affinity for both each other’s musicianship and Monk’s music made them a natural choice.

  • November 2016 List
    November 2016 Catalogue Prices valid until Friday 16�� December 2016 unless stated otherwise 0115 982 7500 Cover photo taken from BIS BIS2094 ‘Mozart: [email protected] Piano Concertos 1-4 (Ronald Brautigam)’. 1 Welcome! Dear Customer, Murray Perahia’s eagerly awaited debut on Deutsche Grammophon is released this month: a welcome addition to his Bach discography, this time in the form of the French Suites. It’s hard to believe it is now seven years since his last Bach recording for Sony and nearly twenty years since he gave us the English Suites. We have waxed lyrical about Perahia here in the past, so won’t bore you too much this time, but urge you not to miss this new issue! (You also may be interested to know that Sony’s superb luxury 40�� anniversary boxset of his recordings is still available at £129.95 (67CD + 5DVD) and would make a wonderful gift for any piano lover). Two top-flight mezzos also have new recitals for us - Elina Garanca in big diva bel canto repertoire on a disc entitled ‘Revive’ (DG, p.3) and Joyce DiDonato in a slightly more personal project labelled ‘War and Peace’ (Erato, p.4). Featuring baroque arias by Handel, Purcell and others, DiDonato has big ambitions for her disc. Planned since the Paris terrorist attacks in 2015, her aim is ‘to steer conversation and discourse… to help all of us find peace in our lives in a dynamic way…’. Bold sentiments indeed, but perhaps using her status and profile to help raise awareness and encourage dialogue is something to be applauded and not dismissed too quickly.
