The Place of the Guitar in the Musical History of Yugoslavia
Guitar Compositions from Yugoslavia volume I Copyright © Syukhtun Editions 2002 THE PLACE OF THE GUITAR IN THE MUSICAL HISTORY OF YUGOSLAVIA Uroš Dojcinovic Prologue A phenomenon increasingly present in the contemporary music of the former Yugoslav republics is the guitar. It is by no means an exaggeration to say that today a large part of the creative and interpretative work being done in our music is focused on the expressive possiblities of this plucked-string instrument. The classical guitar has already had such a long history in all the ex-Yugoslav republics, that no one would deny the esteemed place that it now occupies. On the contrary, the exploitation and appreciation of the guitar still are enjoying a marked upswing, despite the tragic developments in the 1990s which finally caused the collapse of Yugoslavia. But before taking a brief look at the guitar history of the former Yugoslavia, I feel the necessity of summarizing the general history of the area which is the subject of this volume. Prior to 1918, various foreign influences were imposed on the region of the Balkan peninsula which was later to form the nation of Yugoslavia. These influences also included oppression by the various foreign authorities. The idea of Yugoslav union was first born during the 19th century along with the appearance of economic contact with Europe. In October of l918 Croatia separated from the Austro- Hungarian Empire, and during the Croatian Congress proclaimed the SCS-state (Serbia-Croatia-Slovenia). Along with Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia, the state was later joined by Bosnia, Hercegovina, Montenegro and Vojvodina. -

Deposit guide Contact: email “What can’t be coded can be decorded” Reading Writing Performing Finnegans Wake Oliver Rory Thomas Evans Phd Thesis School of Arts, Birkbeck College, University of London (2016) 2 3 This thesis examines the ways in which performances of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939) navigate the boundary between reading and writing. I consider the extent to which performances enact alternative readings of Finnegans Wake, challenging notions of competence and understanding; and by viewing performance as a form of writing I ask whether Joyce’s composition process can be remembered by its recomposition into new performances. These perspectives raise questions about authority and archivisation, and I argue that performances of Finnegans Wake challenge hierarchical and institutional forms of interpretation. By appropriating Joyce’s text through different methodologies of reading and writing I argue that these performances come into contact with a community of ghosts and traces which haunt its composition. In chapter one I argue that performance played an important role in the composition and early critical reception of Finnegans Wake and conduct an overview of various performances which challenge the notion of a ‘Joycean competence’ or encounter the text through radical recompositions of its material. -
Milko Kelemen: Life and Selected Works for Violoncello
MILKO KELEMEN: LIFE AND SELECTED WORKS FOR VIOLONCELLO by JOSIP PETRAČ (Under the Direction of David Starkweather) ABSTRACT Milko Kelemen (b. 1924) is one of the most extraordinary Croatian composers of the post-World War II era. He has received numerous prestigious awards for his work, while his compositions are published by major companies, including Schott, Universal, Peters, and Hans Sikorski editions. His music is little studied or known internationally. This paper examines this innovative, avant-garde musician and sheds light both on Kelemen’s life and his compositional technique. The latter is examined in four compositions featuring cello as the main subject: Changeant (1968), Drammatico (1983), Requiem for Sarajevo (1994), and Musica Amorosa (2004). The examination of these compositions is placed in a biographical context which reveals how Kelemen’s keen political and cultural interests influenced his development as a composer. In particular, this document looks at Kelemen’s role as one of the founders, and the first president, of the Zagreb Music Biennale Festival, an event known for its ground-breaking work in bringing together artists and composers from the eastern and western blocs during the Cold War, as well as revitalising Croatia’s old-fashioned and provincial cultural scene. This festival of avant-garde music has been running since 1961.

Prvi festival održan je 1971. godine. Od tada se u mnoštvu dvoraca i crkava krajem rujna i početkom listopada, razliježe barokna glazba hrvatskih i svjetskih glazbenika i ansambala. Od 1992. taj je državni festival pod pokroviteljstvom predsjednika države, a organizira ga Koncertni ured Varaždin. Die Varaždiner Barockabende wurden 1968 ins Leben gerufen und basieren auf einer reichhaltigen Tradition der in Varaždin gepflegten Barockmusik. Das erste Festival fand 1971 statt. In mehreren Schlössern und Kirchen erklingt seither alljährlich Ende September und Anfang Oktober in dieser Gegend die Barockmusik, interpretiert von namhaften SolistInnen und Ensembles aus Kroatien und aus der ganzen Welt. Ab 1992 genießt dieses staatlich geförderte Festival die Schirmherrschaft des kroatischen Staatsoberhauptes. Organisatorisch wird das Festival vom Konzertbüro Varaždin betreut. Varaždin Baroque Evenings were founded in 1968 on the rich tradition of Varaždin Baroque music. The first festival was held in 1971.

Call for the Masterclass for Composers
CALL FOR THE MASTERCLASS FOR COMPOSERS About the Music Biennale Zagreb The Festival is dedicated to new music of all genres and has become an important part of the European cultural scene ever since it was founded in 1961. This year, from 6-13 April 2019, the Festival will focus on creating and presenting music / sound in relation to the idea of city / space. This way, the Music Biennale Zagreb turns to many more or less related fields, such as multimedia arts, sound engineering and acoustics on the one hand, and urbanism, architecture, philosophy on the other. The idea of city will be musically decomposed in various ways – from transforming the sound of a particular location into a site-specific contemporary composition to the problematization of different layers of socio-urban (sound) structures or the creation of an imaginary surrogate city. Along with top performers such as the London Sinfonietta or Cikada Ensemble, guest composers will include some legendary names such as Heiner Goebbels, Alvin Curran, Rolf Wallin, Vinko Globokar, Eivind Buene and Ivan Fedele. Plan of the course for composers Students will enlarge their creative understanding and hone their composing skills through a one-on- one approach at courses with prominent composers and open rehearsals with the resident ensemble. Mentor composers will select their students based on the applications received (see below for more information). Each composer is mentoring 3-4 students. The program of the masterclass for composers consists of: April 8-10 - Individual classes with the students: 2x2h in which applicable pieces will be discussed (or some of student’s pieces). -

German in Finnegans Wake Contextualized Helmut Bonheim’S a Lexicon of the German in Finnegans Wake
Joyce Lexicography Volume Thirty-Five German in Finnegans Wake Contextualized Helmut Bonheim’s A Lexicon of the German in Finnegans Wake Edited by FW Episodes C. George Sandulescu Sixteen and Seventeen Redacted by Lidia Vianu Bucureşti 2013 Press Release German in Finnegans Wake Contextualized. Helmut Bonheim’s A Lexicon of the German in Finnegans Wake. Edited by C. George Sandulescu Redacted by Lidia Vianu In six volumes: ISBN 978-606-8366-57-9; 978-606-8366-59-3; 978-606-8366-60-9; 978-606-8366-58-6; 978-606-8366-61-6; 978-606-8366-62-3 Joyce spoke German fluently. He made his family speak German while they lived in Zurich, and his children even went to school there. His grave is in Zurich too. The 17 years he put into the writing of the 17 chapters of Finnegans Wake made use of almost 4,000 German words and phrases; we learn this from Helmut Bonheim’s A Lexicon of the German in Finnegans Wake, which the Contemporary Literature Press is now re-issuing. This new edition of Bonheim’s Lexicon tags the full FW text to his list. The author himself discussed in his Preface the importance of the larger context for anyone who tries to understand how and why Joyce turned to German. Following his idea, this re-issuing of the German Lexicon of FW offers the reader both a German key and an additional means of understanding Joyce’s last and most difficult book . It is difficult to see how it is possible to make a reader feel he is reading a text in over forty languages more or less at the same time.
