    Cognition, Constraints and Conceptual Blends in Modernist Music the Pleasure of Modernism: Intention, Meaning, and the Compositional Avant-Garde, Ed

    “Tone-color, movement, changing harmonic planes”: Cognition, Constraints and Conceptual Blends in Modernist Music The Pleasure of Modernism: Intention, Meaning, and the Compositional Avant-Garde, ed. Arved Ashby (Rochester: University of Rochester Press, 2004), 121–152. Amy Bauer I. Ligeti and the “Listenability” of Modernist Music György Ligeti has discussed his "micropolyphonic" music of the mid-1960s at some length, in an attempt to explain why its composed structure seems to bear no relation to its actual sound. Although works such as Lontano are based on strict canons, their compositional method assumes a listener will 'mishear' its structure: [In the large orchestral work Lontano] I composed . an extensively branching and yet strictly refined polyphony which, however, veers suddenly into something else. I don’t have a name for it and I don’t want to create a term for it. A kind of complex of tone-color, movement, changing harmonic planes. The polyphonic structure does not actually come through, you cannot hear it; it remains hidden in a microscopic underwater world, to us inaudible. I have retained melodic lines in the process of composition, they are governed by rules as strict as Palestrina's or those of the Flemish school, but the rules of polyphony are worked out by me. the polyphony is dissolved, like the harmony and the tone-color – to such an extent that it does not manifest itself, and yet it is there, just beneath the threshold.1 In the above passages, Ligeti appears to ally himself with modernists such as Boulez and Babbit, composers who use twelve-tone and other methods to systematically organize pitch structure.

    Presenting the New: Battles around New Music in New York in the Seventies A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY David Grayson, Adviser December 2012 © Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher 2012 i Acknowledgements One of the best things about reaching the end of this process is the opportunity to publicly thank the people who have helped to make it happen. More than any other individual, thanks must go to my wife, who has had to put up with more of my rambling than anybody, and has graciously given me half of every weekend for the last several years to keep working. Thank you, too, to my adviser, David Grayson, whose steady support in a shifting institutional environment has been invaluable. To the rest of my committee: Sumanth Gopinath, Kelley Harness, and Richard Leppert, for their advice and willingness to jump back in on this project after every life-inflicted gap. Thanks also to my mother and to my kids, for different reasons. Thanks to the staff at the New York Public Library (the one on 5th Ave. with the lions) for helping me track down the SoHo Weekly News microfilm when it had apparently vanished, and to the professional staff at the New York Public Library for Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, and to the Fales Special Collections staff at Bobst Library at New York University. Special thanks to the much smaller archival operation at the Kitchen, where I was assisted at various times by John Migliore and Samara Davis.
