Malipiero born at Venice on March 18, 1882; now living) These little pieces, which require no analysis, completed at Parma, May 28, 1921, were published in 1927, but they must have been known publicly before that; for the publishers, J. W. Chester, Ltd., announced in January, 1923, that the orchestral material could be hired for performance, and Eric Blom had arranged the Suite for the piano; furthermore, Sir Dan Godfrey brought out the Suite at Bournemouth on January 14, 1924, and the Suite was broadcast in English towns in 1926. There is no note in the score concerning the source of the move- ments. The publishers stated in 1923 that these orchestral frag- ments were discovered among some old manuscripts in the library of the Naples Conservatory of Music ; two of them were taken from a forgotten cantata. "Three of the movements have been found in a piano arrangement only, while the other two are scored for strings "The House of Dependable Values" Better Music in Your Home Nowhere can you find a better selected stock of musical instruments under one roof than at Meiklejohn's in Providence PIANOS: The aristocratic RADIO: RCA Radiolas, Mason & Hamlin, Ampico, Stewart - Warner, Atwater and reasonably priced up- Kent, Kolster. rights, grands and players.

Malipiero's orchestration is carried out in the spirit of eighteenth century Italian orchestral music." The score calls for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, kettledrums, bass drum, tambourine, castanets, and the usual strings. Cimarosa, most deservedly popular in his day, one of the greatest of Italian musicians, wrote nearly ninety operas, of which "II Matrimonio Segreto" was played throughout Europe, and heard with pleasure only a short time ago in Italy. This Suite is not to be confounded with the ballet "Cimarosiana," performed by the Ballet Kusse in London in November, 1924, and June, 1925. Cimarosa, the son of a stone mason, was fatherless at an early age. (The father fell from a high scaffold, when working.) His mother, a washerwoman, sent him to a free school for the poor, maintained by Franciscan monks. Father Polcans taught the boy Latin and music, and in 1761 gained admission for him in the Conservatory of Holy Maria of Loreto.

    Page 1 (1/31/20) Waltz in E-flat major, Op. 19 FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN (1810-1849) Composed in 1831. Chopin’s Waltz in E-flat major, Op. 18, his first published specimen of the genre and one of his most beloved, was composed in 1831, when he was living anxiously in Vienna, almost unknown as a composer and only slightly appreciated as a pianist. In 1834, he sold it to the Parisian publisher Pleyel to finance his trip with Ferdinand Hiller to the Lower Rhineland Music Festival at Aachen, where Hiller introduced him to his long-time friend Felix Mendelssohn. The piece was dedicated upon its publication to Mlle. Laura Horsford, one of two sisters Chopin then counted among his aristocratic pupils. (Sister Emma had received the dedication of the Variations on “Je vends des scapulaires” from Hérold’s Ludovic, Op. 12 the year before.) The Waltz in E-flat follows the characteristic Viennese form of a continuous series of sixteen- measure strains filled with both new and repeated melodies that are capped by a vigorous coda. Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23 FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN Composed 1831. In the Ballades, “Chopin reaches his full stature as the unapproachable genius of the pianoforte,” according to Arthur Hedley, “a master of rich and subtle harmony and, above all, a poet — one of those whose vision transcends the confines of nation and epoch, and whose mission it is to share with the world some of the beauty that is revealed to them alone.” Though the Ballades came to form a nicely cohesive set unified by their temporal scale, structural fluidity and supranational idiom, Chopin composed them over a period of more than a decade.

T o celebrate it, the German he army, hoping to break a stalemate that had lasted more than three tat years, attacked along the western front in Flanders, pushing back the nv allied armies within a few days to a point where Paris was within reach an oflong-range cannon. When Claude Debussy, who died on 25 M arch, was buried three days later in the Pere-Laehaise Cemetery in Paris, nobody lingered for eulogies. The critic Louis Laloy wrote some years later: B. Th<' sky was overcast. There was a rumbling in the distance. \Vas it a storm, the explosion of a shell, or the guns atrhe front? Along the wide avenues the only traffic consisted of militarr trucks; people on the pavements pressed ahead hurriedly ... The shopkeepers questioned each other at their doors and glanced at the streamers on the wreaths. 'II parait que c'ctait un musicicn,' they said. 1 Fortified by the surrender of the Russians on the eastern front, the spring offensive of 1918 in France was the last and most desperate gamble of the German empire-and it almost succeeded. But its failure was decisive by late summer, and the greatest war in history was over by November, leaving in its wake a continent transformed by social lb\ convulsion, economic ruin and a devastation of human spirit. The four-year struggle had exhausted not only armies but whole civiliza­ tions.

  • Les Forains – Ballet Urbain Anthony Egéa / Cie Rêvolution
    Les Forains – Ballet Urbain Anthony Egéa / Cie Rêvolution D’après Les Forains d’Henri Sauget, sur un argument de Boris Kochno – Éditions Salabert Chorégraphie : Anthony Égéa Interprétation : Sofiane Benkamla, Antoine Bouiges, Simon Dimouro, Manuel Guillaud, Jérôme Luca, Amel Sinapayen, Maxim Thach et Aurélien Vaudey Partie orchestrale enregistrée par l’Orchestre de Limoges, sous la direction de Philippe Forget Musique électro : Frank2Louise Scénographie et lumières : Florent Blanchon Costumes : Hervé Poeydomenge Un ballet urbain au confluent du classique et du hip-hop, un métissage culturel festif et détonant ! La création originale des Forains, dont la musique est signée Henri Sauguet, est un court ballet en un acte qui, en 1945, lança la carrière du chorégraphe Roland Petit, peu de temps après la libération. L’Opéra de Limoges et la Cie Rêvolution ont souhaité remettre à l’honneur et au goût du jour cette « fête de la jeunesse et de la danse », comme Jean Cocteau a si bien décrit cette œuvre, célébrant à nouveau le thème intemporel des forains et des artistes de rue. Anthony Égéa s’est donc emparé de cette œuvre du répertoire académique et en a réalisé une création totalement hybride, ingénieux croisement entre le classique et le hip-hop. Les Forains de Sauguet prennent alors place dans notre société contemporaine, où la danse urbaine se mêle poétiquement à la musique orchestrale. En écho à la partition originale, un musicien électro répond par la texture du son synthétique, créant un subtil anachronisme des genres. Sans être figé dans une esthétique particulière, il s’agit bien d’un dialogue permanent entre les styles que ces artistes saltimbanques nous suggèrent le temps d’un ballet urbain.

  • The Function of Music in Sound Film
    THE FUNCTION OF MUSIC IN SOUND FILM By MARIAN HANNAH WINTER o MANY the most interesting domain of functional music is the sound film, yet the literature on it includes only one major work—Kurt London's "Film Music" (1936), a general history that contains much useful information, but unfortunately omits vital material on French and German avant-garde film music as well as on film music of the Russians and Americans. Carlos Chavez provides a stimulating forecast of sound-film possibilities in "Toward a New Music" (1937). Two short chapters by V. I. Pudovkin in his "Film Technique" (1933) are brilliant theoretical treatises by one of the foremost figures in cinema. There is an ex- tensive periodical literature, ranging from considered expositions of the composer's function in film production to brief cultist mani- festos. Early movies were essentially action in a simplified, super- heroic style. For these films an emotional index of familiar music was compiled by the lone pianist who was musical director and performer. As motion-picture output expanded, demands on the pianist became more complex; a logical development was the com- pilation of musical themes for love, grief, hate, pursuit, and other cinematic fundamentals, in a volume from which the pianist might assemble any accompaniment, supplying a few modulations for transition from one theme to another. Most notable of the collec- tions was the Kinotek of Giuseppe Becce: A standard work of the kind in the United States was Erno Rapee's "Motion Picture Moods". During the early years of motion pictures in America few original film scores were composed: D.

  • Liszt and Christus: Reactionary Romanticism
    LISZT AND CHRISTUS: REACTIONARY ROMANTICISM A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Robert Pegg May 2020 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Maurice Wright, Advisory Chair, Music Studies Dr. Michael Klein, Music Studies Dr. Paul Rardin, Choral Activities Dr. Christine Anderson, Voice and Opera, external member © Copyright 2020 by Robert Pegg All Rights Reserved € ii ABSTRACT This dissertation seeks to examine the historical context of Franz Lizt’s oratorio Christus and explore its obscurity. Chapter 1 makes note of the much greater familiarity of other choral works of the Romantic period, and observes critics’ and scholars’ recognition (or lack thereof) of Liszt’s religiosity. Chapter 2 discusses Liszt’s father Adam, his religious and musical experiences, and his influence on the young Franz. Chapter 3 explores Liszt’s early adulthood in Paris, particularly with respect to his intellectual growth. Special attention is given to François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand and the Abbé Félicité de Lamennais, and the latter’s papal condemnation. After Chapter 4 briefly chronicles Liszt’s artistic achievements in Weimar and its ramifications for the rest of his work, Chapter 5 examines theological trends in the nineteenth century, as exemplified by David Friedrich Strauss, and the Catholic Church’s rejection of such novelties. The writings of Charles Rosen aid in decribing the possible musical ramifications of modern theology. Chapter 6 takes stock of the movements for renewal in Catholic music, especially the work of Prosper Gueranger and his fellow Benedictine monks of Solesmes, France, and of the Society of Saint Cecilia in Germany.

  • French Violin Performance from Franck to Ravel A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles In Search of a Style: French Violin Performance from Franck to Ravel A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Musical Arts by Ji Young An 2013 © Copyright by Ji Young An 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION In Search of a Style: French Violin Performance from Franck to Ravel by Ji Young An Doctor of Musical Arts University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Robert Winter, Chair My dissertation focuses on issues of French sound and style in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century French violin repertoire. As a violinist who studied at the Paris Conservatory, I have long been puzzled as to why so little had been written about something that everyone seems to take for granted—so called French style. I attacked this elusive issue from three perspectives: 1) a detailed look at performance directions; 2) comparisons among recordings by artists close to this period (Jacques Thibaud, Zino Francescatti, as well as contemporary French artists such as Philippe Graffin and Guillaume Sutre); and 3) interviews with three living French violinists (Olivier Charlier, Régis Pasquier, and Gérard Poulet) with strong ties to this tradition. After listening to countless historical recordings, I settled on three pivotal works that illustrate the emergence and full flowering of the French style: César Franck’s Violin Sonata (1886), Claude Debussy’s Violin Sonata (1917), and ii Maurice Ravel’s Tzigane: Rapsodie de Concert pour Violon et Piano (1924). Each of them presents specific challenges: notational and stylistic issues in Franck’s Violin Sonata, Debussy’s performance directions in his Violin Sonata, and notational and interpretive issues in Ravel’s Tzigane that led to a separate, orally-transmitted French tradition.

  • Discours De Jean Prodromidès En Hommage À Henri Sauguet
    INSTITUT DE FRANCE ACADEMIE DES BEAUX-ARTS NOTICE SUR LA VIE ET LES TRAVAUX DE M. Henri SAUGUET (1901-1989) par M. Jean PRODROMIDES Lue à l’occasion de son installation comme membre de la Section des Créations artistiques dans le Cinéma et l'Audiovisuel SEANCE DU MERCREDI 20 MARS 1991 Monsieur le Président, Messieurs les Représentants des Ministres, Mesdames, Messieurs, mes chers Confrères, « La réalité ne se forme que dans la mémoire. » Cette réflexion de Marcel Proust résume le sens d'une démarche qui interroge le Temps perdu. Aussi, en remerciant mes nouveaux confrères de l'honneur qui m'est fait, ai-je le sentiment qu'en rendant hommage à mon prédécesseur, il me sera peut-être permis de mieux cerner les contours d'aujourd'hui ou d'éclaircir le projet de demain. Poursuite d'une tradition ou rupture brusque, continuité ou apparente négation, l'évolution des disciplines artistiques se caractérise souvent par ces attitudes contradictoires qui sont cependant l'essence même du mouvement. Mais au-delà des querelles d'école et sans doute des oppositions de style, le parcours d'un créateur authentique, d'un artiste accompli, aura toujours valeur d'exemple. Un an après la mort d'Henri Sauguet, paraît un ouvrage autobiographique dont le titre constitue une véritable profession de foi : « La Musique, ma vie ».
