  • The Gendered Feast: Experiencing a Georgian Supra Laura Joy Linderman
    The Gendered Feast: Experiencing a Georgian Supra Laura Joy Linderman Abstract: The supra is a traditionalized feast in post-Soviet Georgia characterized by abundant food and ritualized drinking. It is extremely common in social life, especially in rural Georgia. Secular rituals, social occasions, national and religious holidays and life cycle transitions are accompanied by the ubiquitous supra. The supra has been examined by anthropologists as a site for macro level analyses that put forward structural or cultural theories for the underlying meaning of this ritual-for-all-occasions. Women’s experiences of and roles in the supra have often been overlooked or misrepresented in these studies. In this thesis I investigate women’s varied roles at a supra and problematize the idea that the supra demonstrates a model of society, with a paragon of masculinity at the center. I question the static image of an idealized supra that is only capable of reproducing a particular cultural model and argue that the supra is flexibly employed with a great deal of social life being oriented around preparing and participating in supras. Women’s experiences of the supra (like men’s) is different depending on the type of supra, the other participants involved, the age of the woman, her class and her particular geographical location. Keywords: post-Soviet, Georgia (Republic), cultural anthropology, feast, banquet, ritual, gender Introduction The supra was the worst and best experience I had in Georgia. Georgians have supras about 3 times a week to celebrate different things, whether it be a wedding, holiday, etc. In this case, the supra was for us.

    TCHAIKOVSKY COMPETITION 1982 A DIARY BY PETER DONOHOE1 1 The footnotes in this diary are restrospective notes from 2012 – 30 years later... 08 June 1982 Recital at Charlotte Mason College in Ambleside in the British Lake District Program: Tchaikovsky Sonata 2 in G Major (1st Movement) Tchaikovsky November (from The Seasons) Tippett Sonata 2 Prokofiev Sonata 6 ---- Scriabin Etude Op65/3 Chopin Etude Op10/8 Rachmaninov Etude Tableau Op39/5 E flat Minor Bach Prelude and Fugue Book 2 No. 3 Flierkovsky – Prelude and Fugue in G minor Stravinsky Three Movements from Petrushka A very nice, but knowing guy came up to me after the concert, and said “That was a very unusual program. It is almost as if you are preparing to enter the Tchaikovsky Competition.” I asked him to keep it under his hat – it is never good for people to know in advance of your competition efforts, in case it doesn’t work out. Set off home at 11.00 p.m. The car –a Vauxhall Viva borrowed from my parents-in-law – broke down after about 10 miles of a 120 mile journey to my in-laws on the Wirral. Still in the Lake District countryside. The weather was appallingly wet. I had to get to the Wirral, and then the next morning to Manchester for an early flight to London to connect with the Aeroflot flight to Moscow. 09 June 1982 Thank God for the AA Relay service. They got me to the Wirral in the cab of one of their trucks, with the car on the back.

    Shota Rustaveli Theatre and Film Georgia State University Faculty of Art Sciences, Media and Management Khatuna Damchidze Tbilisi 0108 Georgia Dance Dialects of West Georgia (Abkhazian, Acharian, Laz-Shavshetian, Megrelian, Rachan) and Main Ethnocoreological Aspects of Their Interrelation Abstract of the thesis work for the Academic degree Dr. of Arts (Phd) Scientific supervisor: Dr. of Arts Ana Samsonadze Tbilisi 2019 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK Actuality of the themes: Today, when the world is overwhelmed by the irreversible process of globalization, when the difference between the nations is being eliminated, the problem of maintaining originality is fairly acute. This problem is more obvious on the example of little countries such as Georgia. Had it not been the cultural heritage (material and intangible) from ancient times to this day, Georgia would not have occupied the place it holds now, in the world culture. As an object of cultural heritage, Georgian national choreography holds a special place and is of particular importance. Originality of Georgian folk dance is manifested in its ethnic variety which, on the one hand, exists as absolutely different dance tradition and on the other hand, as part of common Georgian folklore. Although certain number of dialects, from the standpoint of dance lexicon has disappeared (Imeretian, Lechkhumian); diversity of dance dialects is observed on a geographically small territory of West Georgia West Georgian circle of dialects comprises Svan, Rachan, Abkhazian, Megrelian, Gurian and Laz folk choreography1. One of the most important issues of choreology to be researched today is ascertainment and classification of separate dance dialects and elucidation of their interrelations.

The process began in the fall of 2011, when the Language and Cross-Culture component of Peace Corps Georgia launched a Georgian Country and Culture Guide project and PCVs from different regions volunteered to do research and gather information on their specific areas. After the initial information was gathered, the arduous process of merging the researched information began. Extensive editing followed and this is the end result. The book is accompanied by a CD with Georgian music and dance audio and video files. We hope that this book is both informative and useful for you during your service.

    GESJ: Musicology and Cultural Science 2019|No.1(19) ISSN 1512-2018 UDC - 78 FROM FOLK SOURCE TO PROFESSIONAL CREATION: ON ONE TUSHETIAN TUNE Zumbadze Natalia, Matiashvili Ketevan Vano Sarajishvili Tbilisi State Conservatoire, 8-10 Griboedov st. Summary: The article discusses the distribution area and development of one Tushetian tune mostly known as Mtsqemsuri. Today unison performance of this polyphonic melody, by nature, is explained as a decline of the process of Georgian traditional polyphonic thinking. The article also touches upon the examples of academic music, folk-jazz, author’s folklore, popular genre, which are successful or unsuccessful attempts of arranging the folk source. Keywords: Georgian (Tushetian) music, mtsqemsuri, Arjevnishvili, Tsintsadze, Erkomaishvili, Ebralidze. When researching Georgian-North Caucasian parallels in addition to archival materials preserved at the Georgian Folk Music Laboratory we got familiarized with the audio recordings copied by ethnomusicologist Manana Shilakadze from the archives of Dagestan State Television and Radio Committee in 1981. These included a panduri piece entitled “Georgian motive” performed by renowned Avarian folk professional Ramazan Magomedov (audio ex. N1). This is the tune that Sulkhan Tsintsadze used in one of his quartet miniatures “Mtsqemsuri” (Shepherd’s song), which is the final fifth part (Simghera; Gaprindi, shavo mertskhalo; Satsekvao; Khumroba, Mtsqemsuri) of the quartet suite composed in 1951 (audio ex. N2). Sulkhan Tsintsadze’s miniatures are more or less discussed in musicological literature. All authors unanimously recognize their folk basis, but the specific source of Mtsqemsuri is not indicated anywhere [1:47]; [2:107, 111]; [3:74, 75, 90, 94]. The notated version of the tune published by the Republican House of Folk Art in 1964 is entitled Tushuri satrpialo (Tushetian love song), with well-known singer, choir master and virtuoso panduri player Mariam Arjevnishvili (1918-1958) indicated as the author (her husband Geronti Tughushi is the author of the verbal text) (notated ex.

  • Taktakishvili Flute Sonata Pdf
    Taktakishvili flute sonata pdf Continue Otar Takakishvili (born July 27, 1924) is a Soviet composer, teacher, writer and conductor. At the beginning of his career, he gained national notoriety by composing the official anthem of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic while he was still a student of compositions of Sarkis Barhudaryan at the Tbilisi Conservatory. The Conservatory later appointed him professor of choral literature and choir director in 1949, just two years after its graduation. In later years he also taught composition and served as rector. Outside the conservatory, he served as a rehearsal pianist, conductor and, ultimately, artistic director of the State Choral Chapel of Georgia. Taktakishvili has achieved incredible political recognition during his lifetime. State awards included three separate State Prizes of the USSR in addition to the Lenin Prize of 1982 - one of the highest awards of the USSR (previous laureates - Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitry Shostakovich). Political appointments included: Deputy Supreme Council of the USSR, deputy of the Supreme Council of the GRUKOVOY SSR, member of the Presidium of the International Music Council of the United Nations, Minister of Culture of Georgia (1965-84), Chairman of the Union of Composers of Georgia (1962), secretary and board member of the Union of Composers of the USSR (1957-89), member of the jury/chairman of various international competitions. Taktakishvili's music covered many genres, but his main work was vocal music with an emphasis on folk material. Many Soviet composers of Taktakishvili's generation turned to regional folk music as a source of material. These composers were born around 1920 and received traditional training in the theory of Russian music in the Soviet conservatories, which followed the standard curriculum.
