You will see and hear the differences between flamenco and classical Spanish dance, between traditional choreography and the avant garde, between flamenco music and its classical counterparts. Through the program itself, you will meet important characters in the development of flamenco, see and feel the difference between flamenco forms as the dance and the dancers interpret these forms that are rooted to specific times and places in Spain’s geography and history. You will also get a strong sense of the flamenco trilogy – the cry of the singers, the dramatic and lyrical melodies of the guitar and of course, the percussive and emotional response of the dancers as they interpret the programmed works.

It is informed by a rich history and a diverse culture that makes it compelling and timely as the world collides around us. Flamenco embodies a complex musical and historical tradition that crosses art, language, religion, class and culture. It originated in Andalucía, southern Spain, where the roots of Spanish, Sephardic, Arabic and Gitano/Gypsy cultures intersected over hundreds of years. After Spain’s colonial expeditions, it would also resonate with the sounds of Latin American and Cuban influences. Flamenco is a trilogy of song, music and dance. While guitar and dance are so closely associated with flamenco, the singing is its oldest and most revered aspect, carrying forth a profound oral tradition that is full of knowledge. Often a desolate cry from an oppressed people or at times with songs of hope, love, joy and beauty, flamenco has been lovingly passed on from generation to generation until today – when it is recognized and respected as a symbolic art form now designated by UNESCO as a world heritage treasure. 4 JOURNEY TO Program Notes Cast of Dancers Include: Esmeralda Enrique, Pamela Briz, Nancy Cardwell, Ilse Gudiño, Virginia Castro. Points of focus and topics related to the discussion notes are highlighted. The title of each piece is followed by its flamenco palo or form. Sevillanas La Marea - Alegrías This folk dance was named after Seville, the city that Alegrías means joy and this lighthearted dance piece popularized it. This lively dance is performed by features vintage costumes designed from the 1930s everyone, young and old alike, and is often danced and the use of mantones or shawls. The palo (form) in couples. People flock to Seville in April for the of alegrías was established in the port city of Cádiz feria, “the fair”, wearing costumes and even arriving in Andalucía and is one of the most beloved forms on horseback at times! The fair lasts a week and of flamenco. This piece ends with a typical fin de the Sevillanas is sung and danced as a highlight fiesta, literally meaning the “end of a party”. It is a throughout the festival. The dancers often accompany chance for dancers, musicians or anyone inspired, to themselves playing a musical instrument known as come up and dance spontaneously in the style of a palillos or castañuelas/castanets. bulerías. Dancers take turns to move forward and dance by themselves, expressing their feelings and Guajiriana - Guajiras personal style in a most natural way. While most This lyrical Spanish dance is a form of music taken flamenco presentations now rely on choreography and from the Cantes de Ida y Vuelta, “songs of coming and staging, this showcases the roots of flamenco where going” that reflect Spain’s colonial past. The guajiras is improvisation and inspiration motivated the flamenco a musical style that originally came from Cuba. While experience. it is considered to be part of the flamenco canon, this dance work is not pure flamenco but choreographed with many elements of classical Spanish dance and may include the use of abanicos (fans). Los Palillos – The Castanets This piece highlights the virtuosity of the castanets, an important part of the classical Spanish dance tradition. These instruments go back thousands of years, depicted in ancient Greek, Egyptian and Roman art. La Capitana - Farruca This pure flamenco piece honours the legendary Carmen Amaya. The farruca is a stark and powerful style that highlights footwork and form. Traditionally danced by men, Carmen Amaya was an innovative and progressive woman who challenged gender roles in flamenco. This is most evident in the costuming. 5 PRE-PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION It is very helpful to determine what students know about dance. Leading questions establish a good base for discovery together. Beyond dance, it is also important to situate the cultural experience in context. Dance Ideas • Who has seen dance? What kinds of dance? Does anyone dance? • What country or culture does that dance come from? • Has anyone seen flamenco or classical Spanish dance? What does it look like? What does it sound like? • What is “choreography”? • Why is dance important? What does it feel like to dance? Spain • Show students a map. Ask them to identify Spain if they can and the province of Andalucía, the heartland of flamenco. • Encourage students to discover and share what they know about Spain and its culture - language, music, food, dance and other cultural aspects. Performance Specific: What to Look/Listen for: • What instruments do you hear? • How do the dancers move? • What are they wearing? • What are they feeling? What do you think they are dancing about? Why do you think that? • How do they use the stage, the space? How do they react to each other? • What makes this feel like “Spanish” dance? What are the three artistic elements that make up flamenco? (song, music, dance) Checklist: To Guide Focus • Instrumentation • Rhythms • Forms or Styles of dances • Differences in styles – flamenco/classical Spanish/folk • Emotions and Expressions • Movement style • Shapes and sounds • Staging ideas – space, patterns, entrances, exits • Choreography 6 POST-PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION Reactions - Discuss what students’ initial reactions were. • What surprised them? What did they like? What did they relate to? • Was there a story or were the dances abstract? • How did the dancers relate to each other? • What emotions did you

  • Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment
    Introduction To Flamenco: Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment by "Flamenco Chuck" Keyser P.O. Box 1292 Santa Barbara, CA 93102 [email protected] http://users.aol.com/BuleriaChk/private/flamenco.html © Charles H. Keyser, Jr. 1993 (Painting by Rowan Hughes) Flamenco Philosophy IA My own view of Flamenco is that it is an artistic expression of an intense awareness of the existential human condition. It is an effort to come to terms with the concept that we are all "strangers and afraid, in a world we never made"; that there is probably no higher being, and that even if there is he/she (or it) is irrelevant to the human condition in the final analysis. The truth in Flamenco is that life must be lived and death must be faced on an individual basis; that it is the fundamental responsibility of each man and woman to come to terms with their own alienation with courage, dignity and humor, and to support others in their efforts. It is an excruciatingly honest art form. For flamencos it is this ever-present consciousness of death that gives life itself its meaning; not only as in the tragedy of a child's death from hunger in a far-off land or a senseless drive-by shooting in a big city, but even more fundamentally in death as a consequence of life itself, and the value that must be placed on life at each moment and on each human being at each point in their journey through it. And it is the intensity of this awareness that gave the Gypsy artists their power of expression.

Mary Fogarty Submitted in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree of Interdisciplinary MA in Popular Culture Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © November 2006 For my sister, Pauline 111 Acknowledgements The Canada Graduate Scholarship (SSHRC) enabled me to focus full-time on my studies. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my committee members: Andy Bennett, Hans A. Skott-Myhre, Nick Baxter-Moore and Will Straw. These scholars have shaped my ideas about this project in crucial ways. I am indebted to Michael Zryd and Francois Lukawecki for their unwavering kindness, encouragement and wisdom over many years. Steve Russell patiently began to teach me basic rules ofgrammar. Barry Grant and Eric Liu provided comments about earlier chapter drafts. Simon Frith, Raquel Rivera, Anthony Kwame Harrison, Kwande Kefentse and John Hunting offered influential suggestions and encouragement in correspondence. Mike Ripmeester, Sarah Matheson, Jeannette Sloniowski, Scott Henderson, Jim Leach, Christie Milliken, David Butz and Dale Bradley also contributed helpful insights in either lectures or conversations. AJ Fashbaugh supplied the soul food and music that kept my body and mind nourished last year. If AJ brought the knowledge then Matt Masters brought the truth. (What a powerful triangle, indeed!) I was exceptionally fortunate to have such noteworthy fellow graduate students. Cole Lewis (my summer writing partner who kept me accountable), Zorianna Zurba, Jana Tomcko, Nylda Gallardo-Lopez, Seth Mulvey and Pauline Fogarty each lent an ear on numerous much needed occasions as I worked through my ideas out loud.

The repertoire of the complete series of concerts was chosen with the intention of demonstrating the ability of the per- former to project music of various types and composed in different periods. The first program featured two complete sets of Concert Etudes, showing how a nineteenth-century composer (Chopin) and a twentieth-century composer (Szymanowski) solved the problem of assimilating typical pianistic patterns of their respective eras in short musical forms, These selections are preceded on the program by a group of compositions, consis- ting of a. a Chaconne for violin solo by J.

Although scholars from around 1900 exaggerated Chopin’s quotation of Polish folk tunes in their mixed agendas that related ‘Polishness’ to Chopin, many of the rudimentary and more complex elements of Polish folk music are present in his compositions. These elements affect such issues as rhythm and meter, tempo and tempo fluctuation, repetitive motives, undulating melodies, function of I and V harmonies. During his vacations in Szafarnia in the Kujawy region of Central Poland in his late teens, Chopin absorbed aspects of Kujaw performing traditions which served as impulses for his compositions.

  • Maria Clara Suite Updated 01-Jul-2002
    Look more here: https://aboutphilippines.ph/folklore-music-songs-dances.html Maria Clara Suite updated 01-Jul-2002 The coming of the Spaniards in the 16th century brought a new influence in Philippine life. A majority of the Filipinos were converted to Roman Catholicism. European cultural ideas spread and the Filipinos adapted and blended to meet the local conditions. These dances reached their zenith in popularity around the turn of the century, particularly among urban Filipinos. They are so named in honor of the legendary Maria Clara, who remains a symbol of the virtues and nobility of the Filipina woman. Maria Clara was the chief female character of Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere. Displaying a very strong Spanish influence, these dances were, nonetheless, "Filipinized" as evidence of the use of bamboo castanets and the abanico, or Asian fan. Typical attire for these dances are the formal Maria Clara dress and barong tagalog, an embroidered long- sleeve shirt made of pineapple fiber. Alcamfor (ahl-kahm-FOHR) From Leyte comes this couples dance in which the girl holds a handkerchief laced with camphor oil, a substance which supposedly induces romance. Andaluz (ahn-dah-LOOHS) Also known as Paseo de Iloilo, for its province of origin, this is one of the most sophisticated courtship and flirtation dances of the Spanish era. The gentlemen compete among each other to win the heart of the dalaga, or young lady, by exemplifying chivalry, grace, and confidence. Aray MIDI File (aray.mid) (ah-RAHY) A dance whose words are sung in "Chabacano-ermitense," a hybrid of Spanish that was only spoken in the Ermita district before the turn of the century and today is extinct.

  • Crying Across the Ocean: Considering the Origins of Farruca in Argentina Julie Galle Baggenstoss March 22, 2014 the Flamenco
    Crying Across the Ocean: Considering the Origins of Farruca in Argentina Julie Galle Baggenstoss March 22, 2014 The flamenco song form farruca is popularly said to be of Celtic origin, with links to cultural traditions in the northern Spanish regions of Galicia and Asturias. However, a closer look at the song’s traits and its development points to another region of origin: Argentina. The theory is supported by an analysis of the song and its interpreters, as well as Spanish society at the time that the song was invented. Various authors agree that the song’s traditional lyrics, shown in Table 1, exhibit the most obvious evidence of the song’s Celtic origin. While the author of the lyrics is not known, the word choice gives some clues about the person who wrote them. The lyrics include the words farruco and a farruca, commonly used outside of Galicia to refer to a person who is from that region of Spain. The use of the word farruco/a indicates that the author was not in Galicia at the time the song was written. Letra tradicional de farruca Una Farruca en Galicia amargamente lloraba porque a la farruca se le había muerto el Farruco que la gaita le tocaba Table 1: Farruca song lyrics Sources say the poetry likely expresses nostalgia for Galicia more than the perspective of a person in Galicia (Ortiz). A large wave of Spanish immigrants settled in what is now called the Southern Cone of South America, including Argentina and Uruguay, during the late 19th century, when the flamenco song farruca was first documented as a sung form of flamenco.
