    KLANGSPUREN SCHWAZ INTERNATIONAL ENSEMBLE MODERN ACADEMY IN TIROL. REBECCA SAUNDERS COMPOSER IN RESIDENCE. 15TH EDITION 29.08. – 09.09.2018 KLANGSPUREN INTERNATIONAL ENSEMBLE MODERN ACADEMY 2018 KLANGSPUREN SCHWAZ is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2018. The annual Tyrolean festival of contemporary music provides a stage for performances, encounters, and for the exploration and exchange of new musical ideas. With a different thematic focus each year, KLANGSPUREN aims to present a survey of the fascinating, diverse panorama that the music of our time boasts. KLANGSPUREN values open discourse, participation, and partnership and actively seeks encounters with locals as well as visitors from abroad. The entire beautiful region of Tyrol unfolds as the festival’s playground, where the most cutting-edge and modern forms of music as well as many young composers and musicians are presented. On the occasion of its own milestone anniversary – among other anniversaries that KLANGSPUREN SCHWAZ 2018 will be celebrating this year – the 25th edition of the festival has chosen the motto „Festivities. Places.“ (in German: „Feste. Orte.“). The program emphasizes projects and works that focus on aspects of celebrations, festivities, rituals, and events and have a specific reference to place and situation. KLANGSPUREN INTERNATIONAL ENSEMBLE MODERN ACADEMY is celebrating its 15th anniversary. The Academy is an offshoot of the renowned International Ensemble Modern Academy (IEMA) in Frankfurt and was founded in the same year as IEMA, in 2003. The Academy is central to KLANGSPUREN and has developed into one of the most successful projects of the Tyrolean festival for new music. The high standards of the Academy are vouched for by prominent figures who have acted as Composers in Residence: György Kurtág, Helmut Lachenmann, Steve Reich, Benedict Mason, Michael Gielen, Wolfgang Rihm, Martin Matalon, Johannes Maria Staud, Heinz Holliger, George Benjamin, Unsuk Chin, Hans Zender, Hans Abrahamsen, Wolfgang Mitterer, Beat Furrer, Enno Poppe, and most recently in 2017, Sofia Gubaidulina.

  • USC MUCO 572 Syllabus Spring 2017
    MUCO 572: Comparative Analytical Techniques: Spectral Music (2 units) MUS 303 Spring 2017, Thornton School of Music Sean Friar email: [email protected] | office hours: by appointment | office: MUS 201 _____________________________________________________________________________________ COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will follow the development of spectralism in the 20th and 21st centuries. Spectral music – in the most general sense – is music that focuses on timbre above all other musical parameters, and derives its musical material from the acoustic properties of sound itself (sound spectra), the overtone series, electronic music techniques, and psychoacoustics. Though spectralism was initially developed by a small group of young Parisian composers in the 1970’s, its influence has since spread around the world, seemingly achieving wider use and acceptance with each new generation of composers. Over the semester, we will consider the different ways composers have incorporated these ideas into their music. * This course is concerned both with the aesthetics and the rigorous analysis of spectral music. It will sometimes involve (fairly straightforward) math. Course Materials Scores, recordings, and readings will be distributed throughout the semester via Blackboard and in-class handouts. There is no textbook. Grading! Attendance/participation 10% Weekly readings/assignments 30% Final paper 40% Final presentation 20% Weekly Readings and Assignments Each week, students will be assigned listening/score study, readings, and/or assignments. It is important that students do the required listening and reading prior to each class, as the lectures and discussion will assume that students have done the work. Attendance/participation As the class only meets once per week, it is important to attend every lecture.
