Wahl August 2016 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Walter A. Clark, Chairperson Dr. Byron Adams Dr. Leonora Saavedra Copyright by Robert J. Wahl 2016 The Dissertation of Robert J. Wahl is approved: __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgements I would like to thank the music faculty at the University of California, Riverside, for sharing their expertise in Ibero-American and twentieth-century music with me throughout my studies and the dissertation writing process. I am particularly grateful for Byron Adams and Leonora Saavedra generously giving their time and insight to help me contextualize my work within the broader landscape of twentieth-century music. I would also like to thank Walter Clark, my advisor and dissertation chair, whose encouragement, breadth of knowledge, and attention to detail helped to shape this dissertation into what it is. He is a true role model. This dissertation would not have been possible without the generous financial support of several sources. The Manolito Pinazo Memorial Award helped to fund my archival research in New York and Pittsburgh, and the Maxwell H. Gluck Fellowship provided several years of support while studying in Riverside. Graduate Division also supported me with multiple travel grants, enabling me to share my research at conferences across the country. Members of the Pacific-Southwest and Northern California chapters of the American Musicological Society were particularly valuable in offering substantial commentary on early versions of what are now chapters in this dissertation. I also would like to thank Bob Kosovsky and the rest of the staff at the NYPL’s Music Division for helping me to navigate several collections and access sources that were otherwise unavailable. The staff at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Mellon University Library were also helpful in locating archival materials on iv both Surinach and Balada. A significant portion of this dissertation was based on an interview I conducted with Leonardo Balada, who was gracious enough to spend time with me discussing his music and career. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for their continuous support. Without them, none of this would have been possible. v To my family, friends, and loving wife vi ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Fleeing Franco’s Spain: Carlos Surinach and Leonardo Balada in the United States (1950–75) by Robert J. Wahl Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in Music University of California, Riverside, August 2016 Dr. Walter A. Clark, Chairperson As a result of Francisco Franco overthrowing the young republican government during the Spanish Civil War (1936–39), countless citizens fled their home country in search of personal security and economic prosperity. Significantly, many of these expatriates were artists and musicians who eventually made their way to the United States, where they achieved celebrity status as dancers, singers, instrumentalists, and composers. This dissertation examines the lives and works of two such composers. In the 1950s, Carlos Surinach (1915–97) and Leonardo Balada (b. 1933) came to the United States by way of New York City. Although both men were from Barcelona, their music and careers followed different trajectories. Surinach is often best remembered for his collaborations with choreographers of modern dance, such as Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, Pearl Lang, and Alvin Ailey; however, his contributions to vii dance constitute only a portion of his creative output and were often adapted from his concert works, as choreographers found the rhythm and drama of his music appealing. Surinach’s style often exhibits a deliberate use of flamenco idioms and is examined in three of his most important flamenco-inspired works: Ritmo Jondo (1952), Sinfonietta Flamenca (1954), and Flamenco Cyclothymia (1966). This dissertation also presents new biographical details regarding Surinach’s education and conducting career in Europe, the impact of his lover Ramón Puigcerve Bel on his career, and his work in the film and television industries. Whereas Surinach maintained a consistent style throughout his career, Balada recognized the advantages of experimenting with new techniques, which he has done with great success. This dissertation examines three of Balada’s works from his self- described second period, which began in the mid-1960s. For ten years, Balada moved away from tonality in order to explore new timbres, textures, rhythms, and avant-garde techniques that led to three of his most important works: Sinfonía en negro: Homenaje a Martin Luther King (1968), María Sabina (1969), and Steel Symphony (1972). All three pieces have been recorded and widely performed, and they mark the beginning of a decades-long career as both professor and composer. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION............................................................................................................. 1 CHATPER 1: Carlos Surinach (1915–97) ................................................................... 12 CHAPTER 2: Ritmo Jondo (1952) ................................................................................ 37 Background ........................................................................................................... 37 Analysis................................................................................................................. 51 “Tres jaleos”.......................................................................................................... 53 “Danza chica” ....................................................................................................... 61 “Bulerias” .............................................................................................................. 66 “Rituales” .............................................................................................................. 70 “Saeta” .................................................................................................................. 73 “Danza grande” ..................................................................................................... 77 “Garrotin” ............................................................................................................. 82 Conclusion ............................................................................................................ 85 CHAPTER 3: Sinfonietta Flamenca (1954) ................................................................. 86 Background ........................................................................................................... 86 Analysis............................................................................................................... 102 Movement I: Vivo grazioso ................................................................................ 102 Movement II: Andantino .................................................................................... 108 Movement III: Allegro ma non troppo ............................................................... 113 Movement IV: Presto agitato ............................................................................ 119 Conclusion .......................................................................................................... 127 CHAPTER 4: Flamenco Cyclothymia (1966) ............................................................. 129 Background ......................................................................................................... 129 Analysis............................................................................................................... 137 Conclusion .......................................................................................................... 149 CHAPTER 5: Leonardo Balada (b. 1933) ................................................................. 150 CHAPTER 6: Sinfonía en negro: Homenaje a Martin Luther King (1968) ............ 156 Background ......................................................................................................... 156 Analysis............................................................................................................... 164 Movement I: “Opresión” .................................................................................... 165 Movement II: “Cadenas” ................................................................................... 172 Movement III: “Visión” ..................................................................................... 176 Movement IV: “Triunfo” ................................................................................... 180 Conclusion .........................................................................................................

  • Interpreting Tempo and Rubato in Chopin's Music
    Interpreting tempo and rubato in Chopin’s music: A matter of tradition or individual style? Li-San Ting A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences June 2013 ABSTRACT The main goal of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of Chopin performance and interpretation, particularly in relation to tempo and rubato. This thesis is a comparative study between pianists who are associated with the Chopin tradition, primarily the Polish pianists of the early twentieth century, along with French pianists who are connected to Chopin via pedagogical lineage, and several modern pianists playing on period instruments. Through a detailed analysis of tempo and rubato in selected recordings, this thesis will explore the notions of tradition and individuality in Chopin playing, based on principles of pianism and pedagogy that emerge in Chopin’s writings, his composition, and his students’ accounts. Many pianists and teachers assume that a tradition in playing Chopin exists but the basis for this notion is often not made clear. Certain pianists are considered part of the Chopin tradition because of their indirect pedagogical connection to Chopin. I will investigate claims about tradition in Chopin playing in relation to tempo and rubato and highlight similarities and differences in the playing of pianists of the same or different nationality, pedagogical line or era. I will reveal how the literature on Chopin’s principles regarding tempo and rubato relates to any common or unique traits found in selected recordings.

Initially, we perceive how music is organized in time, and how musical elements are organized rhythmically in relation to each other. Early Western music, centering upon the chant traditions for liturgical use, was arhythmic to a great extent: the flow of the Latin text was the principal determinant as to how the melody progressed through time.

  • Passacaglia PRINT
    On Shifting Grounds: Meandering, Modulating, and Möbius Passacaglias David Feurzeig Passacaglias challenge a prevailing assumption underlying traditional tonal analysis: that tonal motion proceeds along a unidirectional “arrow of time.” The term “continuous variation,” which describes characteristic passacaglia technique in contrast to sectional “Theme and Variations” movements, suggests as much: the musical impetus continues forward even as the underlying progression circles back to its starting point. A passacaglia describes a kind of loop. 1 But the loop of a traditional passacaglia is a rather flattened one, ovoid rather than circular. For most of the pattern, the tonal motion proceeds in one direction—from tonic to dominant—then quickly drops back to the tonic, like a skier going gradually up and rapidly down a slope. The looping may be smoother in tonic-requiring passacaglia themes (those which end on the dominant) than in tonic- providing themes, as the dominant harmony propels the music across the “seam” between successive statements of the harmonic pattern. But in both types, a clear dominant-tonic cadence tends to work against a sense of seamless circularity. This is not the case for some more recent passacaglias. A modern compositional type, which to my knowledge has not been discussed before as such, is the modulatory passacaglia.2 Modulating passacaglia themes subvert tonal closure via progressions which employ elements of traditional tonality but veer away from the putative tonal center. Passacaglias built on these themes may take on a more truly circular form, with no obvious start or endpoint. This structural ambiguity is foreshadowed in some Baroque ground-bass compositions.
