    ELECTRONIC MUSIC HISTORY THROUGH THE EVERYDAY: THE RAI STUDIO DI FONOLOGIA (1954–83) Joanna Evelyn Helms A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Andrea F. Bohlman Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Mark Katz Lee Weisert © 2020 Joanna Evelyn Helms ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joanna Evelyn Helms: Electronic Music History through the Everyday: The RAI Studio di Fonologia (1954–83) (Under the direction of Andrea F. Bohlman) My dissertation analyzes cultural production at the Studio di Fonologia (SdF), an electronic music studio operated by Italian state media network Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) in Milan from 1955 to 1983. At the SdF, composers produced music and sound effects for radio dramas, television documentaries, stage and film operas, and musical works for concert audiences. Much research on the SdF centers on the art-music outputs of a select group of internationally prestigious Italian composers (namely Luciano Berio, Bruno Maderna, and Luigi Nono), offering limited windows into the social life, technological everyday, and collaborative discourse that characterized the institution during its nearly three decades of continuous operation. This preference reflects a larger trend within postwar electronic music histories to emphasize the production of a core group of intellectuals—mostly art-music composers—at a few key sites such as Paris, Cologne, and New York. Through close archival reading, I reconstruct the social conditions of work in the SdF, as well as ways in which changes in its output over time reflected changes in institutional priorities at RAI.

  • Pace Final 26.11.15
    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

  • Maestro D'arte E Di Vita
    G IADA V IVIANI Maestro d’arte e di vita. Modelli e percorsi della riflessione teorica di Camillo Togni su Arnold Schönberg roverbiale è la strenua ricerca d’ordine condotta per tutta la vita da Camillo Togni, impostagli, secondo le sue stesse ricostruzioni a posteriori, dalla ferrea disciplina cui Pdall’età di tredici anni si era dovuto sottoporre per riuscire a convivere con il «bleicher Geselle» («pallido compagno») del diabete, ossia con il memento mori che, a partire dalla diagnosi dei medici, avrebbe pungolato la sua intera attività artistica e intellettuale. 1 In alcune dichiarazioni rilasciate tra gli anni ’80 e ’90, il compositore fa infatti coincidere con l’inizio della malattia – o meglio, della cura – la propria svolta decisiva verso quell’ideale di impegno e rigore che ne permeerà tanto l’esistenza quanto l’espressione arti- stica, incarnandosi sul piano della scrittura musicale in un’adesione assoluta, seppur mai acritica, al metodo della composizione seriale: Una disciplina ferrea richiesta dalla mia sopravvivenza di giorno in giorno e l’assiduità con cui perseguivo la cura insulinica l’ho applicata alla serie. Mi ero forgiato un metodo. Questo biograficamente è vero, perché io ho cominciato a studiare sul serio, anche a scuola, proprio allora. Il modo di curarmi mi ha insegnato una certa disciplina.2 Al di là dell’interesse aneddotico di simili affermazioni, costituisce un dato essen- ziale per l’esegesi togniana la sua personale concezione del «metodo compositivo dodecafo- nico» come «l’unico ausilio […] per un musicista dei nostri tempi per mettere in ordine le proprie idee», la quale, formulata già nel 1951 in una lettera indirizzata al compositore svedese Bengt Hambraeus,3 ha rappresentato per tutta la sua vita una costante cruciale del pensiero del compositore.

  • L'opera Italiana Del Novecento
    PIERO MIOLI L'OPERA ITALIANA DEL NOVECENTO MANZONI MILANO, 2018 PREMESSA Cento anni: così Giuseppe Rovani volle intitolare il suo grande romanzo storico-ciclico, narrando vicende comprese fra il 1750 e il 1849 e fra l’altro largheggiando di curiose situazioni e riflessioni musicali (l’edizione definitiva del libro è del 1868-69); e così dovrebbe pur chiamarsi questo sommario panorama del '900 teatro-musicale italiano, nonostante tutti gli imbarazzi che presiedono a tali quadrature cronologiche e tutti i rischi che esso corre fornendo forse più dati che idee. Cent’anni, un secolo, un lungo segmento temporale tutto sommato finito da poco: ma se la fine di questo fatidico '900 si trova a sfumare nell’inizio del secolo seguente, il '100 del Duemila che è in corso, altrettanto si deve riconoscere oggi e si sarà asserito allora del suo inizio sfumato dalla fine del secolo precedente. Nell’impossibilità, dunque, di fissare un avvio riferibile a un preciso fattore di carattere sociale, civile, culturale, per non dire artistico e musicale, sarà provvedimento modesto e rassegnato ma almeno utile e chiaro quello che accetta di dare l'inizio al semplicissimo 1901 e la fine all'altrettanto schietto 2000, permettendosi il credibile lusso di procedere qualche anno ancora. L’imbarazzo non viene a mancare, s’intende, né s’abbassa il rischio, ma da parte sua, almeno, la matematica non ammette né repliche né sfumature. Prima di pervenire al corpo del discorso diacronico, descrittivo, impostato insomma come una giusta suddivisione in periodi, è però sembrato bene fornire degli schizzi storico-culturali che sappiano inquadrare degnamente, si spera, le fasi storiche del genere, un genere significativo ma assai esigente come il teatro d’opera italiano: dunque il diverso “panorama” sincronico promesso dall’indice comprende gli elementi generali, alcuni fenomeni particolari, i luoghi teatrali nel loro complesso e qualche teatro in vista più di altri, ovviamente e principalmente le prime culle della nuova produzione operistica.

  • 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.
