  • Vocality and Listening in Three Operas by Luciano Berio
    Clare Brady Royal Holloway, University of London The Open Voice: Vocality and Listening in three operas by Luciano Berio Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music February 2017 The Open Voice | 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Patricia Mary Clare Brady, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: February 1st 2017 The Open Voice | 2 Abstract The human voice has undergone a seismic reappraisal in recent years, within musicology, and across disciplinary boundaries in the humanities, arts and sciences; ‘voice studies’ offers a vast and proliferating array of seemingly divergent accounts of the voice and its capacities, qualities and functions, in short, of what the voice is. In this thesis, I propose a model of the ‘open voice’, after the aesthetic theories of Umberto Eco’s seminal book ‘The Open Work’ of 1962, as a conceptual framework in which to make an account of the voice’s inherent multivalency and resistance to a singular reductive definition, and to propose the voice as a site of encounter and meaning construction between vocalist and receiver. Taking the concept of the ‘open voice’ as a starting point, I examine how the human voice is staged in three vocal works by composer Luciano Berio, and how the voice is diffracted through the musical structures of these works to display a multitude of different, and at times paradoxical forms and functions. In Passaggio (1963) I trace how the open voice invokes the hegemonic voice of a civic or political mass in counterpoint with the particularity and frailty of a sounding individual human body.

  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

  • There's a Real Buzz and Sense of Purpose About What This Company Is Doing
    15 FEBRUARY 7.15PM & 17 FEBRUARY 2PM “There’s a real buzz and sense of purpose about what this company is doing” ~ The Guardian www.niopera.com Grand Opera House, Belfast Welcome to The Grand Opera House for this new production of The Flying Dutchman. This is, by some way, NI Opera’s biggest production to date. Our very first opera (Menotti’s The Medium, coincidentally staged two years ago this month) utilised just five singers and a chamber band, and to go from this to a grand opera demanding 50 singers and a full symphony orchestra in such a short space of time indicates impressive progress. Similarly, our performances of Noye’s Fludde at the Beijing Music Festival in October, and our recent Irish Times Theatre Award nominations for The Turn of the Screw, demonstrate that our focus on bringing high quality, innovative opera to the widest possible audience continues to bear fruit. It feels appropriate for us to be staging our first Wagner opera in the bicentenary of the composer’s birth, but this production marks more than just a historical anniversary. Unsurprisingly, given the cost and complexities involved in performing Wagner, this will be the first fully staged Dutchman to be seen in Northern Ireland for generations. More unexpectedly, perhaps, this is the first ever new production of a Wagner opera by a Northern Irish company. Northern Ireland features heavily in this production. The opera begins and ends with ships and the sea, and it does not take too much imagination to link this back to Belfast’s industrial heritage and the recent Titanic commemorations.

  • Note Sul Teatro Di Luciano Berio. Tra Riflessione E Gioco
    Titolo || Note sul teatro di Luciano Berio. Tra riflessione e gioco Autore || Fiamma Nicolodi Pubblicato || Rosa Meccia, a cura di, «Il teatro come pensiero teatrale», Edizioni scientifiche italiane, 1990, pag. 183. Diritti || © Tutti i diritti riservati. Numero pagine || pag 1 di 6 Archivio || Lingua|| ITA DOI || Note sul teatro di Luciano Berio. Tra riflessione e gioco. di Fiamma Nicolodi Per un musicista come Luciano Berio, per il quale il teatro è un'entità più articolata e complessa del «genere» abitualmente accolto sulle assi del palcoscenico, alludere a un pensiero «teatrale» senza dar nello stesso tempo conto del suo pensiero «musicale», del modo in cui egli organizza l'intera materia sonora, la distribuisce, ritaglia, diluisce, condensa, sembra impresa parzialmente vana. Chi vieta per esempio di considerare Sequenza III per voce sola (1966), pagina fra le più note dell'artista, caratterizzata da una densa gestualità, da un'«azione» latente e da una fisicità fonica di assoluta eloquenza (per il cantante che interpreta e per il pubblico che ascolta), come un teatro vocale senza scena? Lo stesso dicasi per Circles (1960), dove il carattere circolare della forma è illustrato dai movimenti dell'interprete (cantante-strumentista-attrice), così rivendicando alla musica uno degli aspetti più intrinseci, anche se meno coltivati: la possibilità di manifestarsi in forme visibili oltre che udibili. E perché scorporare determinate soluzioni linguistico-formali dai lavori espressamente destinati al teatro, senza documentarne la ricorrenza nelle composizioni strumentali (sinfoniche o cameristiche)? In maniera ovviamente sommaria, come si addice a un convegno in cui l'intervento sulla musica resta un'isolata eccentricità, non si dovrebbero allora trascurare altri aspetti del linguaggio e del pensiero musicale beriano nella loro accezione più vasta che, spingendo oltre lo sguardo, potrebbero essere intesi come la traduzione sul pentagramma del suo modo di porsi di fronte al reale (e forse anche di pensare se stesso).

School was out, and every class had found the thing that was demonstrably the best, most impressive thing to do. For the tenth grades about to take their aptitudes, it was cycling down the path from the wind farm head fi rst, until they either lost their courage or their bikes fl ipped and they cartwheeled with bloody knees and grazed elbows. For the seventh, it was preparing their kites for the fi ghting season; the ninth were learning how to kiss in the hidden grove behind the compression batteries, and to survive the fi rst heartbreak of a sixty- second romance betrayed. Yue should have been sitting on grassy roofs with her class, making important pronouncements about grown- up things, now that she was twelve and thus basically a philosopher- queen.

Especially not the vinegar ones. They’re bad.” Conor is standing sideways to the rows of snacks, facing the aisle that leads away from the meat section. His head is down—he’s not looking at her. He never looks at her. He’s not looking at anything except his fingers, which are opening and closing like they’re on the inside of a puppet and the puppet is talking. But the puppet is silent. It’s the motion of the hand that fascinates him, that has always fascinated him.
