Fabulously Tidal — Issue 117, 1 January 2018
Fabulously Tidal — Issue 117, 1 January 2018 SPONSORED FEATURE — PHILIP SAWYERS' THIRD SYMPHONY Alice McVeigh: 'This is a fabulously tidal symphony, with wild expanses of differing moods, but it begins with a ripple of unease. We in the cello section were told to play the opening with as much stillness as possible, allowing the first theme to grow as it weaves into violins and violas, into threads of flute and oboe, and — from there — into a tempestuous section of interweaving themes. The argument descends into a woodwind quarrel, resolved by flute and oboe, decorated by horns — while the strings continue to niggle and churn away at any sense of calm. 'Then solo bassoon ignites a new, still tenser, section. The violins take over, lightly but resolutely, answered by middle strings conveying a sense of tenderness — but with a bitter aftertaste. (This is incidentally one of Sawyers' most characteristic strengths: a tenderness, never saccharine, often undermined by subtle discontent.) From the brass comes the first glimpse of escape: the powerful broken octave theme over which the other themes furiously contend. 'The cellos at the recapitulation, now deepened and enriched, are twisted by Sawyers into something passionate and grounded in lower brass, reinforced by timpani. The movement ends with the heavy brass seemingly triumphant over the strings' stubborn reiteration of the theme. Still, the lower strings' pessimism prevails. 'Tutti violins kick-start the second movement with a dramatic leap from their richest register, only yielding to keening solo oboe. 'The sobered strings leave the solo winds to mourn, yet, with characteristic Sawyers intensity, something is brewing at subterranean depths: eventually, the violas' chuntering is answered by full insistent brass, in a stormily ecstatic tantrum. -

José De Nebra: El “Lope De Vega” De La Lírica Española
LEONOR ORTEGA ALCÁNTARA “DESDE EL PARNASO” JOSÉ DE NEBRA: EL “LOPE DE VEGA” DE LA LÍRICA ESPAÑOLA Leonor Ortega Alcántara Licenciada en Filología Hispánica Profesora en el IES “Arroyo de la Miel”, Málaga 1. Introducción. Desde la muerte de Sebastián Durón…los italianos tuvieron el camino franco para imponer su estilo en la música española. Sin embargo, Literes mantuvo hasta cierto punto la tradición española frente al empuje de los Facco, Mele, Coradini, Corselli y un largo etcétera. A la muerte de Literes la música nacional encontró en José de Nebra un continuador de la tradición polifónica hispana…lo cual no impide que otras composiciones muestren a Nebra como el más avezado maestro en la asimilación de ciertos procedimientos y del espíritu del barroco italiano, que era omnipresente en Europa1. 1 Ruiz Tarazona, Andrés, “José de Nebra, luminaria del barroco”, El Cultural, 9 de enero de 2002. Isla de Arriarán,Isla XLII-XLIII, de Arriarán pp. 53-64— 53 Desde el Parnaso: José de Nebra: el “Lope de Vega”... Sirva esta cita de eficaz introducción a la situación histórica y musical que el compositor aragonés vivió y que, con gran soltura, supo unir la tradición musical de Hidalgo, Durón y Literes a las novedades de la ópera seria italiana que tendrían un gran defensor en el ministro Carlo Broschi, más conocido como Farinelli. 2. Vida y obra. No se poseen muchos datos biográficos de Nebra. Don José Mel- chor Gaspar de Nebra Blasco procede de una familia de músicos y de organistas de cierta importancia; nació en Calatayud el 6 de enero de 1702 y recibió las primeras nociones musicales de su padre José Antonio Nebra Mezquita2 y al igual que sus hermanos3, se dedicó a la composición musical a la par que realizó su cargo de organista de la Catedral de Cuenca y maestro de los Infantes de Coro4. -
IDOMENEO EN MEXICO (O Un Pretexto Para Pasearse Por Algunos Mitos Griegos) II ROBERTO KRETSCHMER
Este País 95 Febrero 1999 IDOMENEO EN MEXICO (o un pretexto para pasearse por algunos mitos griegos) II ROBERTO KRETSCHMER Mozart adoraba a su Idomeneo. Hasta el fin de sus días lo consideró su ópera consentida, la primogénita de sus siete óperas maestras. Y no es difícil entender por qué. Después de un deprimente pero no improductivo receso de diez años, en que aquel niño prodigio que deleitó a las cortes europeas no logra todavía transformarse y ser reconocido como el genio musical que él sabía que traía adentro —súbitamente, Deus ex machina—, el melómano y excelente flautista Karl Theodor, príncipe elector Bavaria, le encarga la composición de una ópera seria para el carnaval de 1781. Es probable que el frugal príncipe bávaro —por recomendación de Cannabich, director de la orquesta de Mannheim— acudiera por razones económicas al jovenzuelo Mozart (su súbdito, pues Salzburgo era parte de Bavaria entonces) y a Varesco, un jesuita italiano oriundo de Trieste pero radicado y mal pagado en Salzburgo, donde además murió en la miseria en 1805. Ordenar una ópera seria a consagrados como Gluck, Paisiello, Mercadante o Salieri, y usando a un libretista como Metastasio, hubiera salido demasiado caro. En cambio Mozart y Varesco, ambos radicados en la lánguida Salzburgo y aún lejos de la fama, aceptarían gustosos el encargo por un honorario mucho menor (Varesco recibió a regaña-dientes 90 ducados y Mozart 200 [?] ducados; un ducado era igual a 20 dólares actuales). Y así fue. ¡Su tacañez; nuestra ganancia! De no haber sido así, tendríamos más de lo mismo de Paisiello o de Salieri. -
