European Day of Early Music Second Edition! 21 March 2014 European Day of Early Music Second edition! 21 March 2014 1 Réseau Européen de Musique Ancienne / European Early Music Network www.rema-eemn.net / [email protected] / +33 1 39 20 78 03 I. Presentation of the event The European Day of Early Music (EDEM) took place for the first time in 2013, under the patronage of Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissionner for Culture. On 21 March 2014, the second edition of the event was organised, coordinated by REMA, under the patronage of UNESCO. Early music is a central part of the cultural heritage shared by Europeans, closely connected with other artistic expressions such as dance or theatre. It spans more than 1000 years of music, from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. While some composers of these eras are widely known, there is a large repertoire still to be discovered by today’s audiences. The European Day of Early Music aims to increase awareness of early music and its diversity, and to bring it to the attention of wider audiences. In having many diverse concerts and conferences all over Europe at the same time and as part of a common event, a sense of diversity as well as unity is created. Events were organised by members of the REMA network but also by other organisations, since anyone was invited to participate in the celebration by organising a concert, open rehearsal, conference, etc. In addition to the physical events, REMA coordinated an online event, as part of the concerts were live streamed online, giving a wider audience the possibility to participate.

Patronage by UNESCO The patronage of UNESCO was secured for the event. An application was made through the French national commission of UNESCO. On 13 October 2013, a letter signed by UNESCO General Director Irina Bokova was sent. She wrote, among others: "Without any doubt, this day will contribute to promote the musical heritage and artistic creation. Therefore, I can only congratulate the organizers for this initiative, which is fully in line with UNESCO objectives to promote the intercultural dialogue." The UNESCO patronage helped bring a wider attention to the event, and is a step toward its internationalisation (outside Europe). The UNESCO logo was used on every publication or print related to EDEM. Germany, Bacharchiv, Leipzig III. Promotion of the event Poster Slovenia, Seviqc Brezice The promotion for the event was done on numerous levels: REMA members were informed of the event and started promoting it in the summer 2013. A list of contacts of European organisations such as conservatoires, festivals (not members of REMA), cultural networks and ensembles had been made. These organisations had been informed about the previous edition of EDEM, and again about the current edition in the autumn 2013. The event was presented at various conferences and meetings: - by REMA president Peter Pontvik and Executive Secretary Helena De Winter at a meeting of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO) in Barcelona in October 2013. Since concert halls usually plan their seasons two years in advance, this was not intended for the 2014 edition of EDEM, but for upcoming ones. ECHO has 21 members, which are all concert halls. - by REMA Secretary Björn Ross at the European Music Forum organised by European Music Council (EMC) in Glasgow in April 2013. The presentation was attended by over 70 persons, representing various music related organisations in Europe. 5 Réseau Européen de Musique Ancienne / European Early Music Network www.rema-eemn.net / [email protected] / +33 1 39 20 78 03 - by President Peter Pontvik at the General Assembly of the European Broadcasting Union in Leipzig in May 2013. - by President Peter Pontvik at a conference organised in cooperation by REMA and the Association of European Conservatoires (AEC) in August 2013, for an attendance of over 100 people. - at meetings with representants of the French Culture Ministry (Eric Denut and Agnès Prétrel) in January and March 2014. - by Helena De Winter at a meeting with the coordinator of the European Union of National Institutes for Culture, Helena Kovarikova. Marketing package A logo had been designed by ADAKA in 2013 and was used again for the second edition. A new flyer and poster was designed in French and English, and sent to all REMA members as well as other organisations participating. Italy, Poster for Echi Lontani Germany, Poster Dreiländereck Musikschule Sweden, Poster Stockholm Early Music Festival IV. Messages of support Two messages of support to the event were recorded on video and shared on the internet: Francesco Bandarin, Assistant Peter Pontvik, President of REMA and Director General of Culture artistic director of Stockholm Early Music UNESCO Festival “I would like to thank you and “Dear friends, on 21st of March 2014, the congratulate you for this important second edition of the European Day of second edition of the European Early Music will be celebrated all over Day of Early Music.

  • Jordi Savall Talks About Grief, Memory and Building Bridges
    To marry the heart and the head By Julius Purcell . May 12, 2012 1:23 am The prolific Catalan musician Jordi Savall talks about grief, memory and building bridges ©Laia Abrill Jordi Savall at home in Barcelona It was a sound that few who heard it are likely to forget. In January, the church of Santa María del Mar in Barcelona was packed for the memorial concert of the singer Montserrat Figueras, who died last year aged 69. At the front, seated at the viola da gamba, Figueras’s husband Jordi Savall waited motionless as Armenian duduks launched into an opening lament. Then, from a balcony lit by three candles, came the voice of Figueras herself – “smoky, penetrating, flatly expressive”, as the music writer Alex Ross has described it. What we were hearing was one of her recordings of the Chant of the Sybil, a medieval Catalan text that she particularly loved. It was a charged moment, tinged with the realisation that recordings might endure, but the chance to hear this voice in performance had gone for ever. When I meet Jordi Savall a few months later, he is in the middle of producing a new disc that will tell the story, in music, of the humanist thinker Erasmus. The recording session in a chapel had finished at six that morning, Savall having returned only two days ago from an exhausting tour of Mexico and China with Hespèrion XXI, the ensemble he co-founded with Figueras in 1974. Six months after his wife’s death, and having turned 70 last year, Savall won’t, or can’t, slow down.

  • Five Late Baroque Works for String Instruments Transcribed for Clarinet and Piano
    Five Late Baroque Works for String Instruments Transcribed for Clarinet and Piano A Performance Edition with Commentary D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of the The Ohio State University By Antoine Terrell Clark, M. M. Music Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2009 Document Committee: Approved By James Pyne, Co-Advisor ______________________ Co-Advisor Lois Rosow, Co-Advisor ______________________ Paul Robinson Co-Advisor Copyright by Antoine Terrell Clark 2009 Abstract Late Baroque works for string instruments are presented in performing editions for clarinet and piano: Giuseppe Tartini, Sonata in G Minor for Violin, and Violoncello or Harpsichord, op.1, no. 10, “Didone abbandonata”; Georg Philipp Telemann, Sonata in G Minor for Violin and Harpsichord, Twv 41:g1, and Sonata in D Major for Solo Viola da Gamba, Twv 40:1; Marin Marais, Les Folies d’ Espagne from Pièces de viole , Book 2; and Johann Sebastian Bach, Violoncello Suite No.1, BWV 1007. Understanding the capabilities of the string instruments is essential for sensitively translating the music to a clarinet idiom. Transcription issues confronted in creating this edition include matters of performance practice, range, notational inconsistencies in the sources, and instrumental idiom. ii Acknowledgements Special thanks is given to the following people for their assistance with my document: my doctoral committee members, Professors James Pyne, whose excellent clarinet instruction and knowledge enhanced my performance and interpretation of these works; Lois Rosow, whose patience, knowledge, and editorial wonders guided me in the creation of this document; and Paul Robinson and Robert Sorton, for helpful conversations about baroque music; Professor Kia-Hui Tan, for providing insight into baroque violin performance practice; David F.

And if such music is performed, it is mostly from the pen of composers from elsewhere in Europe, in particular Germany, who settled in Denmark, Norway or Sweden for a shorter or longer period of time. That is not to say that there was no musical life of any substance. During the 17th century the Danish court in Copenhagen was a centre of culture and music, and some composers of fame were in the service of the court for some time, such as Heinrich Schütz. We know also the names of some home- bred composers of his time, for instance Hans Brachrogge and Mogens Pedersøn. In Sweden the German church played a key role in music life, under the direction of members of the Düben family, who were also connected to the Swedish court. However, it was not until the first half of the 18th century that a Swedish-born composer entered the scene, in the person of Johan Helmich Roman.

  • THE CONCERT of NATIONS: MUSIC, POLITICAL THOUGHT and DIPLOMACY in EUROPE, 1600S-1800S
    THE CONCERT OF NATIONS: MUSIC, POLITICAL THOUGHT AND DIPLOMACY IN EUROPE, 1600s-1800s A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Damien Gérard Mahiet August 2011 © 2011 Damien Gérard Mahiet THE CONCERT OF NATIONS: MUSIC, POLITICAL THOUGHT AND DIPLOMACY IN EUROPE, 1600s-1800s Damien Gérard Mahiet, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 Musical category, political concept, and political myth, the Concert of nations emerged within 16th- and 17th-century court culture. While the phrase may not have entered the political vocabulary before the end of the 18th century, the representation of nations in sonorous and visual ensembles is contemporary to the institution of the modern state and the first developments of the international system. As a musical category, the Concert of nations encompasses various genres— ballet, dance suite, opera, and symphony. It engages musicians in making commonplaces, converting ad hoc representations into shared realities, and uses multivalent forms that imply, rather than articulate political meaning. The Nutcracker, the ballet by Tchaikovsky, Vsevolozhsky, Petipa and Ivanov, illustrates the playful re- composition of semiotic systems and political thought within a work; the music of the battle scene (Act I) sets into question the equating of harmony with peace, even while the ballet des nations (Act II) culminates in a conventional choreography of international concord (Chapter I). Chapter II similarly demonstrates how composers and librettists directly contributed to the conceptual elaboration of the Concert of nations. Two works, composed near the close of the War of Polish Succession (1733-38), illustrate opposite constructions of national character and conflict resolution: Schleicht, spielende Wellen, und murmelt gelinde (BWV 206) by Johann Sebastian Bach (librettist unknown), and Les Sauvages by Jean-Philippe Rameau and Louis Fuzelier.

  • The 2021 Guide
    FestivalsThe 2021 Guide April 2021 Editor’s Note Spring is in the air, vaccinations are in (many) arms, and our hardy crop of mountain, lakeside, and pastorally sited music-makers appear to be in major recovery mode from a very long, dark year. Our 2021 Festival Guide lists 100-plus entries, some still in the throes of program planning, others with their schedules nailed down, one or two strictly online, and most a combination of all of the above. We’ve asked each about their COVID-19 safety protocols, along with their usual dates, places, artists, and assorted platforms. Many are equipped to head outside: Aspen Music Festival, Tanglewood, and Caramoor Music Center already have outdoor venues. Those that don’t are finding them: Central City Opera Festival is taking Carousel and Rigoletto to a nearby Garden Center and staging Dido & Aeneas in its backyard; the Bay Chamber Concerts Screen Door Festival is headed to the Camden (ME) Amphitheater. Still others are busy constructing their own pavilions: “Glimmerglass on the Grass” is one, with 90-minute re- imagined performances of The Magic Flute, Il Trovatore, and the premiere of The Passion of Mary Cardwell Dawson. The Virginia Arts Festival has also built a new open-air facility called the Bank Street Stage, a large tent area with pod seating options. Repertoire range is as broad as ever, with the Cabrillo Festival priding itself on being “America’s longest-running festival of new orchestral music”; Bang on a Can will make as much avant-garde noise as humanly possible with its “Loud Weekend” at Mass MOCA and its composer trainings later in the summer.
