Seventh International Conference on Music Since 1900 Lancaster University Music Analysis Conference 28th – 31st July 2011 Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts Lancaster University Contents Page Welcome 2 General Information 3 Conference Venues 4 Programme Overview 6 Abstracts and Biographies 10 Concert Programmes and Information 90 Exhibitors and Sponsors 96 1 Welcome to MSN/MAC 2011 It is my considerable pleasure to welcome you to Lancaster for the Seventh International Conference on Music Since 1900 and the Lancaster University Music Analysis Conference. The decision to bring these well established conferences together into a single joint event has been vindicated by the nearly 150 papers on offer, spanning a huge range of disciplinary, stylistic and geographic orientations. It is my hope that delegates with a particular fondness towards one or other of the conference series will find plenty to inspire them over the coming days. But even more so, I hope that the joint conference facilitates a productive intermingling and cross-fertilisation of ideas that would otherwise be much harder to achieve in separate events. A single conference, let alone two, could not happen without a huge amount of organisation and hard work behind the scenes. My thanks, therefore, goes firstly to the Programming Committee – Paul Archbold, Arved Ashby, Rachel Cowgill, William Drabkin, Nicholas Gebhardt, Adam Krims, Alan Marsden, Deborah Mawer, Peter Nelson, Nicholas Reyland, Michael Spitzer, Alan Street and Charles Wilson. Thanks too to colleagues from Music at Lancaster University, Live@LICA and to Helen Thomas and Christopher Fuller, who have both expended copious amounts of time and energy in the planning and organisation of the conference and concerts. Invaluable, and gratefully received, administrative support has been provided by the Lancaster University Conference Centre, and in particular Hilary Barraclough and Ros Malcolm. To thank Rosemary Fitzgerald for ‘technical support’ would be to do her a gross disservice, overlooking her stalwart marshalling of resources, facilities and a small army of student helpers and technical assistants (many thanks to these!). I shudder to think how many loose ends would exist were it not for her prodigious labour on behalf of these conferences, and for which I’m truly thankful. Financial support has been gratefully received from numerous sources: Ashgate, Boydell and Brewer, Cambridge University Press, the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation, Lancaster University (and in particular the Centre for Practice and Theory: Research in Composition (PATRIC)), Liverpool University Press, Music and Letters, Oxford University Press, Routledge, The Society for Music Analysis, twentieth-century music and Wiley-Blackwell. Those of you with the appropriate technology may wish to follow us on, and contribute to, our Facebook, Twitter and Lanyrd accounts during the course of the conference. All that remains is to wish you an enjoyable, challenging, stimulating and rewarding time in Lancaster. Edward Venn Conference Chairman 2 General Information Registration and Keys A registration desk will be positioned in the foyer of the LICA building between 11.00am and 6.00pm on Thursday 28th July, where delegate packs, name badges, parking permits and keys to accommodation can be collected.

    The University at Buffalo Department of Music and The Robert & Carol Morris Center for 21st Century Music present Stockhausen's Mantra For Two Pianos Eric Huebner and Steven Beck, pianos Sound and electronic interface design: Ryan MacEvoy McCullough Sound projection: Chris Jacobs and Ryan MacEvoy McCullough Saturday, October 14, 2017 7:30pm Lippes Concert Hall in Slee Hall PROGRAM Mantra (1970) Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928 – 2007) Program Note by Katherine Chi To say it as simply as possible, Mantra, as it stands, is a miniature of the way a galaxy is composed. When I was composing the work, I had no accessory feelings or thoughts; I knew only that I had to fulfill the mantra. And it demanded itself, it just started blossoming. As it was being constructed through me, I somehow felt that it must be a very true picture of the way the cosmos is constructed, I’ve never worked on a piece before in which I was so sure that every note I was putting down was right. And this was due to the integral systemization - the combination of the scalar idea with the idea of deriving everything from the One. It shines very strongly. - Karlheinz Stockhausen Mantra is a seminal piece of the twentieth century, a pivotal work both in the context of Stockhausen’s compositional development and a tour de force contribution to the canon of music for two pianos. It was written in 1970 in two stages: the formal skeleton was conceived in Osaka, Japan (May 1 – June 20, 1970) and the remaining work was completed in Kürten, Germany (July 10 – August 18, 1970).
  • Musical Conception, Para-Musical Events and Stage Performance in Jani Christou’S Strychnine Lady (1967)

    Musical Conception, Para-Musical Events and Stage Performance in Jani Christou’S Strychnine Lady (1967)

    Musical conception, para-musical events and stage performance in Jani Christou’s Strychnine Lady (1967) Giorgos Sakallieros Department of Music Studies, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece [email protected] Konstantinos Kyriakos Department of Theatre Studies, University of Patras, Greece [email protected] Proceedings of the fourth Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology (CIM08) Thessaloniki, Greece, 3-6 July 2008, http://web.auth.gr/cim08/ Background in music analysis. Jani Christou (1926-1970) was a eminent Greek avant-garde composer who expanded the traditional aesthetics of musical conception, as well as of concert and stage performance, to a whole new art-form that involved music, philosophy, psychology, mythical archetypes, and dramatic setting. His ideals and envisagements, constantly evolving from the late 1950s, are profoundly denoted in his late works, created between 1965-1968 (Mysterion, Anaparastasis I – III, Epicycle, Strychnine Lady). These works, originally conceived as ‘stage rituals’, include instrumental performance, singing, acting, dance, tape and visual effects, and thus combine musical and para-musical events and gestures. Background in theatre studies. From the early 1960s music theatre comprised a major field of avant-garde composition in which spectacle and dramatic impact were emphasized over purely musical factors. Avant-garde performance trends and media, such as Fluxus or happenings, had a significant impact on several post-war composers both in Europe and North America (i.e. Cage, Ligeti, Berio, Nono, Kagel, Henze, Stockhausen, Birtwistle and Maxwell Davies), which led to the establishment and flourish of the experimental music theatre during the 1960s and 1970s. The use of new dramatic and musical means combined elements of song, dance, mimic, acting, tape, video and visual effects which could be tailored to a wide range of performing spaces.

  • Sergei Prokofiev Russia Modern Era Composer (1891-1953)

    Sergei Prokofiev Russia Modern Era Composer (1891-1953)

    Hey Kids, Meet Sergei Prokofiev Russia Modern Era Composer (1891-1953) Sergei Prokofiev was born in Russia on April 27, 1891. He began studying the piano with his mother at the age of three. By the age of five Sergei was displaying unusual musical abilities. His first composition, written down by his mother, was called Indian Gallop. By the age of nine he had written his first opera, The Giant. At the age of thirteen Sergei entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory having already produced a whole portfolio of compositions. While at the conservatory he studied with Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Later in his life, Prokofiev was said to have regretted not having taken full advantage of this opportunity. The music that Prokofiev composed was new and different. He brought to the concert hall strange new harmonies, dynamic rhythms and lots of humor. When the Russian Revolution broke out, Prokofiev traveled to America. He hoped he would be able to compose in peace. American audiences, however, were not ready for his new sounds so he moved to Paris. In Paris, Prokofiev found greater success where his operas and ballets were well liked. Prokofiev returned to Russia in 1932 spending the last 19 years of his life in his home country. During this time, he produced some of his finest works including Peter and the Wolf for chamber orchestra and narrator, and the score for his ballet Romeo and Juliet which contained some of his most inspired music. Sergei Prokofiev died on March 5, 1953 as one of the most admired composers of the twentieth century.

Performance practice is a term familiar to serious musicians. For the performer, this means assimilating and applying all the education and training that has been pursued in a course of study. Performance practice entails many aspects such as development of the craft of performing on the instrument, comprehensive knowledge of pertinent literature, score study and listening to recordings, study of instruments of the period, notation and articulation practices of the time, and issues of tempo and dynamics. The orchestral literature of Eastern Europe, especially Germany and Russia, from the mid-nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century provides some of the most significant and musically challenging parts for the tuba.

Many areas of Europe (especially Italy and Central Europe) struggled to free themselves from foreign control 4 Art Art came to be appreciated for its aesthetic worth Program-music that serves an extra-musical purpose Absolute-music for the sake and beauty of the music itself 5 Musical Context Increased interest in nature and the supernatural The natural world was considered a source of mysterious powers. Romantic composers gravitated toward supernatural texts and stories 6 Listening #1 Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique (4th mvmt) Pg 323-325 CD 5/30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwCuFaq2L3U 7 The Rise of Program Music Music began to be used to tell stories, or to imply meaning beyond the purely musical. Composers found ways to make their musical ideas represent people, things, and dramatic situations as well as emotional states and even philosophical ideas. 8 Art Forms Close relationship Literature among all the art Shakespeare forms Poe Bronte Composers drew Drama inspiration from other Schiller fine arts Hugo Art Goya Constable Delacroix 9 Nationalism and Exoticism Composers used music as a tool for highlighting national identity. Instrumental composers (such as Bedrich Smetana) made reference to folk music and national images Operatic composers (such as Giuseppe Verdi) set stories with strong patriotic undercurrents. Composers took an interest in the music of various ethnic groups and incorporated it into their own music.

    Teresa de Lauretis Futurism: A Postmodern View* The importance of Modernism and of the artistic movements of the first twenty or so years of this century need not be stressed. It is now widely acknowledged that the "historical avant-garde" was the crucible for most of the art forms and theories of art that made up the contemporary esthetic climate. This is evidenced, more than by the recently coined academic terms "neoavanguardia" and "postmodernism," 1 by objective trends in the culture of the last two decades: the demand for closer ties between artistic perfor- mance and real-life interaction, which presupposes a view of art as social communicative behavior; the antitraditionalist thrust toward interdisciplinary or even non-disciplinary academic curri- cula; the experimental character of all artistic production; the increased awareness of the material qualities of art and its depen- dence on physical and technological possibilities, on the one hand; on the other, its dependence on social conventions or semiotic codes that can be exposed, broken, rearranged, transformed. I think we can agree that the multi-directional thrust of the arts and their expansion to the social and the pragmatic domain, the attempts to break down distinctions between highbrow and popular art, the widening of the esthetic sphere to encompass an unprecedented range of phenomena, the sense of fast, continual movement in the culture, of rapid obsolescence and a potential transformability of forms are issues characteristic of our time. Many were already implicit, often explicit, in the project of the historical avant-garde. But whereas this connection has been established and pursued for Surrealism and Dada, for example, Italian Futurism has remained rather peripheral in the current reassessment; indeed one could say that it has been marginalized and effectively ignored.
