There's the tour of Les Entrées en scène Loto-Québec , which encourages a new generation of professional performers by giving them access to stages all around Québec, including many in the city's Accès culture network. This year the tour highlights the choreography of Alexandra "Spicey" Landé, creator of Rétrospek , plus the electro-pop confections of La Patère Rose, and the dramatic inventions of Théâtre À l’Envers, producers of a marvellous play for the young and the old, Woânda . The city's up-and-coming talent will also take centre-stage in April for the 14th d l a annual Printemps de la danse , a dance festival which this year is dedicated to the work of three young choreographers from n o D Montréal: Andrew Turner, Eryn Flynn and Yaëlle Azoulay. c a M k Families in Montréal will have a busy time marking their calendars; more than 100 youth events are on the way. During c i n the spring break, kids can enjoy the great series of musical shows presented for La Semaine de la musique , the result of a a Y : collaboration between the city and the Jeunesses Musicales du Canada.

  • Sophie Stévance* Université Laval, Québec Faculty of Music
    Article received on 25th May 2011 Article accepted on 12th April 2012 UDC: 78(714.1) 78.07 Мекрир П. Sophie Stévance* Université Laval, Québec Faculty of Music CONTEMPORARY MUSIC AT THE FRINGE: THE EXAMPLE OF “MUSIQUE ACTUELLE” IN CANADA Abstract: The International Week of Today’s Music (SIMA), organised in 1961 by Pierre Mercure within the framework of the Montreal Festivals, is a master event: beside the works of Serge Garant, Karlheinz Stockhausen or Iannis Xenakis, this event permitted to the experimental music of today to be heard as provocative and heterogeneous as it may be, in particular with Cage Atlas Eclipticalis’ creation or Richard Maxfield’s Piano Concert for David Tudor. Mercure challenged an American experimental aesthetic’s different from Europeans experimentations. The hypothesis of this paper is that what has been called “musique actuelle” since 1979 in Quebec, refers to Mercure’s artistic perspectives. How affiliated is musique actuelle to the SIMA? This paper seeks to answer this question by looking at the different uses of the expression of musique actuelle so as to bring to light the historical reasons, roots and fundaments of the expression since its first uses. The ac- tualist movement has in common with Mercure’s project more than a name: it carries and maybe focuses for the Mercure’s aesthetic and social policy by refusing certain zone sys- tem within cultural poles with creation methods such as free and collective improvisation. But beyond this project, it’s definitely of Mercure event’s tradition that actualists arose and built their identity field. * Author contact information: [email protected] 51 New Sound 38, II/2011 Keywords: Musique actuelle, actualism, Pierre Mercure, Productions SuperMusique, mu- sical identity, The International Week of Today’s Music Апстракт: Међународна недеља савремене музике (SIMA), коју је, у оквиру Монт- реалских фестивала, 1961.

  • Folk Songs CLASS-II
    Folk Songs CLASS-II 6 Notes FOLK SONGS A folk song is a song that is traditionally sung by the common people of a region and forms part of their culture. Indian folk music is diverse because of India's vast cultural diversity. It has many forms. The term folk music was originated in the 19th century, but is often applied to music older than that. The glimpse of rural world can be seen in the folk music of the villages. They are not only the medium of entertainment among the rural masses but also a reflection of the rural society. In this lesson we shall learn about the characteristics of folk songs and music and also about the various folk songs of India. OBJECTIVES After studying this lesson, you will be able to: • define folk songs; • list the characteristics of folk songs and folk music; • list some famous forms of folk song of our country; and • describe the importance of folk song in our culture. OBE-Bharatiya Jnana Parampara 65 Folk Songs CLASS-II 6.1 MEANING OF FOLK SONGS AND MUSIC Music has always been an important aspect in the lives of Indian Notes people. India's rich cultural diversity has greatly contributed to various forms of folk music. Almost every region in India has its own folk music, which reflects local cultures and way of life. Folk songs are important to music because they give a short history of the people involved in the music. Folk songs often pass important information from generation to generation as well.

  • Vividh Bharati's Role in 'Unifying' the Indian Nation
    Vividh Bharati’s 5932/011116 vIvIdh BhaRatI's Role IN 'UNIfyINg' the INdIaN NatIoN Jawhar Sircar RKMIC, 29th January 2014 I. FREEDOM AT MIDNIGHT: 1. When we look back at the last six or seven decades, we see with amazement how India has emerged from a country that was tormented by internal convulsions and external threats to be now ranked among the top countries of the world. The entire picture has changed so dramatically, especially in the last two decades since we opened up our economy that India is now growing rapidly enough to be noticed. Though it has finally been afflicted by the world-wide economic contagion and is passing through a rather low, the world takes note: which it did not, earlier. The 21st century belongs to Asia and it is beyond doubt that China and India would be playing a major role, notwithstanding temporary hiccups along the way. 2. The question is how did this India, that is now proud of her high seat in the assembly of nations of the world, emerge as a cohesive nation that is finally solidly bonded. Let us take ourselves back to the stroke of the midnight hour, on the night of 14th/15th August 1947, when this nation was born: a memorable period that happens but once in a nation’s life-time. It was the most challenging of times, as not only was it a bleeding baby that had been severed from its sibling, but it was in the midst of violence, confusion and rioting. One was reminded of Churchill’s scathing remarks that "in a few years, no trace will remain" for "anarchy will lead to internecine warfare".

  • 51 Article Sound Archives and Musical Representations
    ARTICLE SOUND ARCHIVES AND MUSICAL REPRESENTATIONS OF MODERN INDIA: THE CASE OF THE FELIX VAN LAMSWEERDE COLLECTION (1963-2005) Rasika Ajotikar, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, SOAS University London Abstract This essay presents a critical social history of the context in which the Felix van Lamsweerde Collection came together. Felix van Lamsweerde (b. 1934), a Dutch col- lector, cultural anthropologist and impresario, extensively recorded Indian expressive cultures in the Netherlands and India between 1963 and 2005. This collection was digit- ised and catalogued between 2017 and 2020 at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv in Germany as part of a German Research Foundation (DFG) project. It includes a wide range of first-hand and commercial audio/video re- cordings of music, dance and theatre genres from across India along with accompany- ing notes, photographs, and a vast collection of books, magazines and journals. Van Lamsweerde’s journey into studying musics of India and the collection itself points to how India’s cultural politics evolved in the immediate decades following its independ- ence from the British in 1947. Whilst historicising the colonial, oriental and nationalist legacies of music collection in India, this essay examines the Van Lamsweerde Collection and archival projects at large through a source critical approach. It attempts to demon- strate the ways in which caste, class, gender and racialisation processes and the sound archive shaped one another in the formation of transnational cultural representations of India. Drawing on discussions in ethnomusicology, social theory and archival studies, this essay offers an interpretation of how musical knowledge and a homogenous con- struct of Indian culture has taken shape in Western European and American academe.

  • Pierre Hébert Film Director and Multidisciplinary Artist
    Pierre Hébert Film director and multidisciplinary artist Pierre Hébert was born in Montreal in 1944. In 1965, he abandoned his studies in anthropology and joined the National Film Board of Canada as film director. In 1996, he became producer and director of the animation/youth studio of the French program until 1999 when he left the NFB. He is now an independent filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist. From 1965 to 1971, he directed experimental animation films that explore perception phenomena. Later, although remaining faithful to an experimental outlook, his works focused more on social and political concerns. By 1983, his films started to develop from multidisciplinary projects with musicians, choreographers and writers. From 1991 to 1996, he worked on a feature film, La Plante humaine, which was released in Montreal and Paris, and which won the AQCC/SODEC award for the best Quebec feature of the year. By 1986, he invented an unusual kind of performance (live scratched animation) which takes him to performances in many countries in Europe and North America with musicians such as Fred Frith, Robert Marcel Lepage, Jean Derome, René Lussier, and Bob Ostertag whom he met in 1989. Since then Ostertag and Hébert have collaborated on many projects, the most recent being Between Science and Garbage in which computers are used to process live animated images. He writes regularly in a number of art and film magazines, and in 1999 published an book L’Ange et l’automate (Les 400 coups, Montreal). He was awarded several important prizes, including The Norman McLaren Award (1988), a Bessy award (New York Dance and Performance Award) (1987), Melkweg Cinema Award for Reality Research, Amsterdam (1985), and the Prix Aqec-Olivieri (1993), for the best theoretical article on cinema.

    City University of New York (CUNY) CUNY Academic Works Publications and Research CUNY Graduate Center 1996 Music, the Media, and Communal Relations in North India, Past and Present Peter L.

Contact: [email protected] 5 Music, the Media, and Communal Relations in North India, Past and Present PETER MANUEL MUCH OF THE DISCUSSION of communalism has attempted to ascertain the depth of the evident communal sentiment reflected in recent distur­ bances and the rise of Hindu militancy. Amrita Basu's essay above echoes a similar question about cultural history: do current developments reflect profound, long-standing, grass-roots animosity, or, alternately, are they merely the products of contemporary elite manipulation, ultimately con­ ditioned by factorsother than religious ones? While sociopolitical history is a natural focusfor such inquiries, the study of expressive culture may re­ veal much about social practices and attitudes, both elite and grass-roots, past and present. This chapter focuses on musical culture in north India, outlining relevant aspects of the social history of classical music, and pre­ senting some observations on twentieth-century folkand popular musics. My discussion of the contemporary scene will also refer to related forms of expressive culture, notably Hindi cinema and the sociopolitical uses of cassettes. Given the extraordinary diversity of South Asian musical genres and practices, any attempt to generalize about music's relation to communal­ ism is destined to a degree of superficiality.
