UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 JAMES-GALLAGHER, ELIZABETH W., D.M.A. Luigi Dallapiccola's Liriche greche: An Analysis for Performance. (1994) Directed by Dr. Eddie Bass. 205 pp. In the early 1940s, composer Luigi Dallapiccola (1904-1975) wrote a triptych of song cycles for voice and instruments, the Liriche greche ("Greek Lyrics"). The individ­ ual cycles are Cinque frammenti di Saffo ("Five Sappho Fragments," 1942); Sex carmina Alcaei ("Six Alcaeus Songs," 1943); and Due liriche di Aruicreonte ("Two Anacreon Lyrics," 1944-45). The songs, settings of Salvatore Quasimodo's Italian translation of ancient Greek lyrics, were the first works Dallapiccola composed in his mature, dodecaphonic style. For Dallapiccola—twentieth-century man, Italian, Central European, lover of litera­ ture, essayist, protester against oppression, and composer—music was a means of self- expression. The central questions of this study are; what does Dallapiccola wish to express in the Liriche greche, and how does he express it? The nature of the songs is related to the circumstances of their composition. Dallapiccola suffered particular hardship in World War II Italy. He lived in fear because his wife was Jewish; he abhorred the fascist government; and he felt ostracized by the musical public. Inspired by the "supreme equilibrium" of Quasimodo's Greek lyrics, Dallapiccola retreated from the war into the "spiritual refuge" of ancient civilization. The cycles are as different as their poets are. Sappho commits herself entirely to her subjects. The music, too, changes identity with each new song. Anacreon is a victim of the power of the gods. He is put through trials and is rendered incoherent by the experience. Alcaeus, the most objective poet, deals not with emotions or deities but with human beings and nature. The cycle transcends emotion and moves in the world of logic. In the opening bars of the first cycle, Dallapiccola presents two archaisms—parallel fifths and canon—which undergird the whole triptych. The pervasiveness of the archaic gives the entire triptych a feeling of remoteness. Other-worldliness also emerges from Dallapiccola's ethereal timbres, slow tempos, soft dynamics, wide-spaced textures, and use of pedal point. The Liriche greche, then, withdraw from the present into a remote region. But the triptych does not end in escape. Rather, it re-emerges to present an image of supreme equilibrium. © 1994 by Elizabeth Woodall James-Gallagher APPROVAL PAGE This dissertation has been approved by the following committee of the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

WORKS LIST 202 iv 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Luigi Dallapiccola. Expression, and the Liriche ureche I do not write any abstract music. In all that I compose—even in a seemingly imper­ sonal canon—I attempt to express something that I have to say.1 I was convinced that the use of the "Dies irae" in the manner of a cantus firmus would facilitate the comprehension of my ideas. "Comprehension," let me repeat, not success nor the possibility of frequent performances. Never in my life—not even for an instant— have such motives influenced my actions or my thoughts.2 For a long time the tonal system showed signs of being inadequate for what com­ posers needed to express Twelve-tone composition ... is the most complete solution as a method of composition in as much as it offers a base upon which to build. Personally I adopted such a method because it is the only one which, up until now, allows me to express what I feel I must express.3 For Luigi Dallapiccola—twentieth-century man, Italian, Central European, lover of litera­ ture, essayist, protester against oppression, and composer—music was a means of self- expression. 1 "Ich schreibe keine abstrakte Musik. In allem, was ich komponiere—sogar in eineni scheinbar un- personlichen Kancm—, versuche ich etwas auszudriicken, was ich zu sagen habe." Everett Helm, "Luigi Dallapiccola in einem unveroffentlichten Gesprach," Melos/Neue Zeitschrift fur Musik 2 (1976): 469 (translation by the author unless otherwise noted). 2 Luigi Dallapiccola, "The Genesis of Canti di prigionia and II prigionierotrans. Rudy Shackelford, Dallapiccola on Opera (London: Toccata Press, 1987), 47. (Hereafter this collection of Dallapiccola's writings will be referred to as Dallapiccola on Opera) 3 "Da molto tempo il sistema tonale dava segni di essere inadeguato a quanto i musicisti avevano urgenza di esprimere .... La dodecafonia ... e la soluzione piu completa del metodo di cornporre. In quanto offire delle basi su cui costruire. Personalmente ho adottato tale metodo perche e il solo che, a tutt'oggi, mi permetta di esprimere quanto sento di dover esprimere." Dallapiccola, "Sulla strada delta dodecafonia," Parole e musica, ed. Fiamma Nicolodi (Milan: II Saggiatore, 1980), 459. (Hereafter this collection of Dallapiccola's writings will be referred to as Parole e musica) "> Between 1942 and 1945, Luigi Dallapiccola (1904-75) composed three song cycles which form a triptych, the Liriche greche ("Greek Lyrics"). The songs are settings of an­ cient Greek texts in an Italian translation by poet Salvatore Quasimodo (1901-68). The cy­ cles are Cinque frammenti di Sqffb ("Five Sappho Fragments," 1942), for voice and fif­ teen instruments; Sex carmina Alcaei ("Six Alcaeus Songs," 1943), for voice and eleven instruments; and Due liriche di Anacreonte ("Two Anacreon Lyrics," 1944-45), for voice and four instruments. The composite of these three cycles, the, Liriche greche, is the topic of this study. Dallapiccola, if we are to take him at his word, always expressed something in his music, changed his style to suit his expressive needs, and was concerned that his music be understood by his fellow humans.

  • Generalized Interval System and Its Applications
    Generalized Interval System and Its Applications Minseon Song May 17, 2014 Abstract Transformational theory is a modern branch of music theory developed by David Lewin. This theory focuses on the transformation of musical objects rather than the objects them- selves to find meaningful patterns in both tonal and atonal music. A generalized interval system is an integral part of transformational theory. It takes the concept of an interval, most commonly used with pitches, and through the application of group theory, generalizes beyond pitches. In this paper we examine generalized interval systems, beginning with the definition, then exploring the ways they can be transformed, and finally explaining com- monly used musical transformation techniques with ideas from group theory. We then apply the the tools given to both tonal and atonal music. A basic understanding of group theory and post tonal music theory will be useful in fully understanding this paper.

  • Thesis Submission
    Rebuilding a Culture: Studies in Italian Music after Fascism, 1943-1953 Peter Roderick PhD Music Department of Music, University of York March 2010 Abstract The devastation enacted on the Italian nation by Mussolini’s ventennio and the Second World War had cultural as well as political effects. Combined with the fading careers of the leading generazione dell’ottanta composers (Alfredo Casella, Gian Francesco Malipiero and Ildebrando Pizzetti), it led to a historical moment of perceived crisis and artistic vulnerability within Italian contemporary music. Yet by 1953, dodecaphony had swept the artistic establishment, musical theatre was beginning a renaissance, Italian composers featured prominently at the Darmstadt Ferienkurse , Milan was a pioneering frontier for electronic composition, and contemporary music journals and concerts had become major cultural loci. What happened to effect these monumental stylistic and historical transitions? In addressing this question, this thesis provides a series of studies on music and the politics of musical culture in this ten-year period. It charts Italy’s musical journey from the cultural destruction of the post-war period to its role in the early fifties within the meteoric international rise of the avant-garde artist as institutionally and governmentally-endorsed superman. Integrating stylistic and aesthetic analysis within a historicist framework, its chapters deal with topics such as the collective memory of fascism, internationalism, anti- fascist reaction, the appropriation of serialist aesthetics, the nature of Italian modernism in the ‘aftermath’, the Italian realist/formalist debates, the contradictory politics of musical ‘commitment’, and the growth of a ‘new-music’ culture. In demonstrating how the conflict of the Second World War and its diverse aftermath precipitated a pluralistic and increasingly avant-garde musical society in Italy, this study offers new insights into the transition between pre- and post-war modernist aesthetics and brings musicological focus onto an important but little-studied era.
