Isabel Maria Pereira Barata da Rocha Introduction During my major, a number of creative positionings was presented throughout the intensive work led by our teachers. After the completion of the major, I had an enriched vision of the several aesthetical currents that thrive in composition. Of all the trends that were studied, New Simplicity had the strongest impact on me, both intellectually and emotionally. It was, therefore, a mature, pondered choice that presented itself to me when a path had to be taken in a clearer definition of a creative strategy in my masters degree. Whether or not this trend is yet to receive another designation, the creativity and strength that emanates from the composers whose portrait I carve in these pages is the example I wish to follow, in humble consideration of my capacities. 1 A perspective of New Simplicity in contemporary composition: Song of Songs as a case study.

    Positions, Methodologies and Aesthetics in the Published Discourse about Brian Ferneyhough: A Critical Study Ian Pace1 Since Brian Ferneyhough achieved a degree of public recognition following the premiere of his Transit (1972-75) in March 1975 at the Royan Festival, a range of writings on and reviews of his work have appeared on a relatively regular basis. The nature, scope, style, and associated methodologies of these have expanded or changed quite considerably over the course of Ferneyhough's career––in part in line with changes in the music and its realization in performance––but nonetheless one can discern common features and wider boundaries. In this article, I will present a critical analysis of the large body of scholarly or extended journalistic reception of Ferneyhough's work, identifying key thematic concerns in such writing, and contextualizing it within wider discourses concerning new music. Several key methodological issues will be considered, in particular relating to intentionality and sketch study, from which I will draw a variety of conclusions that apply not only to Ferneyhough, but to wider contemporary musical study as well. Early Writings on Ferneyhough The first extended piece of writing about Ferneyhough's work was an early 1973 article by Elke Schaaf2 (who would become Ferneyhough's second wife),3 which deals with Epicycle (1968), Missa Brevis (1969), Cassandra's Dream Song (1970), Sieben Sterne (1970), Firecyle Beta (1969-71), and the then not-yet-complete Transit. Schaaf’s piece already exhibits one of the most

  • Between Liminality and Transgression: Experimental Voice in Avant-Garde Performance
    BETWEEN LIMINALITY AND TRANSGRESSION: EXPERIMENTAL VOICE IN AVANT-GARDE PERFORMANCE _________________________________________________________________ A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theatre and Film Studies in the University of Canterbury by Emma Johnston ______________________ University of Canterbury 2014 ii Abstract This thesis explores the notion of ‘experimental voice’ in avant-garde performance, in the way it transgresses conventional forms of vocal expression as a means of both extending and enhancing the expressive capabilities of the voice, and reframing the social and political contexts in which these voices are heard. I examine these avant-garde voices in relation to three different liminal contexts in which the voice plays a central role: in ritual vocal expressions, such as Greek lament and Māori karanga, where the voice forms a bridge between the living and the dead; in electroacoustic music and film, where the voice is dissociated from its source body and can be heard to resound somewhere between human and machine; and from a psychoanalytic perspective, where the voice may bring to consciousness the repressed fears and desires of the unconscious. The liminal phase of ritual performance is a time of inherent possibility, where the usual social structures are inverted or subverted, but the liminal is ultimately temporary and conservative. Victor Turner suggests the concept of the ‘liminoid’ as a more transgressive alternative to the liminal, allowing for permanent and lasting social change. It may be in the liminoid realm of avant-garde performance that voices can be reimagined inside the frame of performance, as a means of exploring new forms of expression in life.

    Singer Pur _________________________________________________________________________________ The vocal vocation of Singer Pur Mark Lowe This German vocal group gave a very well-received concert last Tuesday evening. A packed audience heard magnificent singing in highly entertaining songs. The admirable hall (which also has superb acoustics) was an added bonus-the beautifully refurbished Rustaveli Theatre. The concert started with magical soft singing in Danny Boy, otherwise known as The Londonderry Air. We then heard a medley of German folk songs and romantic part songs by Brahms and Mendelssohn-all very gemutlich and pleasing to the ear. The group specializes in Renaissance music, so the group included a piece from that period: a little gem by Adrian Willaert, Vecchie Letrose, full of exciting, razor-sharp cross-rhythms. The group also sang an intriguing new work: Time Piece by Paul Patterson. This is a skit on time and clocks, making extended use of modern choral techniques developed by composers like Penderecki and Ligeti (whispering, unusual vowel sounds, and so on). It was a hit with the audience. In the second half, we heard arrangements of popular songs. They included Cheek to Cheek by Irving Berlin, Englishman in New York by Sting, Good Night, My Angel by Billy Joel and Bad, Bad Leroy Brown by the American Jim Croce. For these songs the singers dispensed with their music scores, and sang in old Barber's Shop close harmony style. These songs received especially happy applause - they were obviously loved by the audience, and they were performed with matchless skill. The concert ended with an immaculate performance of a Georgian folk song - le- arned by the group that afternoon.

Germany Printed in Germany The music of Wilhelm Killmayer needs no de- claration of facts, nor a declaration of love. Like almost no other music it 'emanates from itself, is autonomic and autistic. He who thinks this music is strange, is on the right track. The word 'strange' is meant in the sense used by Schumann (Fremder Mann - Stranger . .) in Schubert's inflection (Fremd bin ich eingezogen. - As a stranger did I come. .) and in the shudder of Valentin (Hemd rhymes with fremd - shirt with strange, in German). He who stays on the ridge knows about the fall. Let us consider this: The Time of Youth - even if different in every case - sounds the way it does here: image follows image, one evoking the other, experience gets through, so does doubt; because the time of youth is always later, when it is already in the past.

  • Chapter Three Minimal Music
    72 Chapter Three Minimal music This chapter begins with a brief outline of minimal music in the United States, Europe and Australia. Focusing on composers and stylistic characteristics of their music, plus aspects of minimal music pertinent to this study, it helps the reader situate the compositions, composers and events referred to throughout the thesis. The chapter then outlines reasons for engaging students aged 9 to 18 years in composing activities drawn from projects with minimalist characteristics, reasons often related to compositional or historical aspects of minimal music since the late 1960s. A number of these reasons are educational, concerned with minimalism as an accessible teaching resource that draws on students’ current musical knowledge and offers a bridge from which to explore musics of other cultures and other contemporary art musics. Other reasons are concerned with the performance capabilities of students, with the opportunity to introduce students to a contemporary aesthetic, to different structural possibilities and collaboration and subject integration opportunities. There is also an educational need for a study investigating student composing activities to focus on these activities in relation to contemporary art music. There are social reasons for engaging students in minimalist projects concerned with introducing students to contemporary arts practice through ‘the new tonality’, involving students with a contemporary music which is often controversial, and engaging students with minimalism at a time of particular activity and expansion in the United States and in Australia. 3.1 Minimalism Minimalism is an aesthetic found across a number of different art forms – architecture, dance, visual art, theatre, design and music - and at the beginning of the twenty-first century, it is still strongly influential on many contemporary artists.
