  • Listening Program Script I
    Non-Directed Music Listening Program Series I Non-Directed Music Listening Program Script Series I Week 1 Composer: Manuel de Falla (1876 – 1946) Composition: “Ritual Fire Dance” from “El Amor Brujo” Performance: Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy Recording: “Greatest Hits of The Ballet, Vol. 1” CBS XMT 45658 Day 1: This week’s listening selection is titled “Ritual Fire Dance”. It was composed by Manuel de Falla. Manuel de Falla was a Spanish musician who used ideas from folk stories and folk music in his compositions. The “Ritual Fire Dance” is from a ballet called “Bewitched By Love” and describes in musical images how the heroine tries to chase away an evil spirit which has been bothering her. Day 2: This week’s feature selection is “Ritual Fire Dance” composed by the Spanish writer Manuel de Falla. In this piece of music, de Falla has used the effects of repetition, gradual crescendo, and ostinato rhythms to create this very exciting composition. Crescendo is a musical term which means the music gets gradually louder. Listen to the “Ritual Fire Dance” this time to see how the effect of the ‘crescendo’ helps give a feeling of excitement to the piece. Day 3: This week’s featured selection, “Ritual Fire Dance”, was written by the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla in 1915. Yesterday we mentioned how the composer made use of the effect of gradually getting louder to help create excitement. Do you remember the musical term for the effect of gradually increasing the volume? If you were thinking of the word ‘crescendo’ you are correct.

  • Manuel De Falla' S Siete Canciones Populares Españolas: the Composer's Personal Library, Folksong Models and the Creative Process.'
    Anuario Musical, vol. 55 (2000) MANUEL DE FALLA' S SIETE CANCIONES POPULARES ESPAÑOLAS: THE COMPOSER'S PERSONAL LIBRARY, FOLKSONG MODELS AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS.' Michael CHRISTOFORIDIS Abstract Manuel de Falla's personal library provides a unique resource for the study of the composer's assimilation of ideas, and his lifelong habit of annotating his reading material and scores heightens the library's usefulness to an understanding of his creative process. Falla's reliance on musical borrowings in his compositions means that a study of the printed scores in his library often gives insights into the sources employed and the development of his musical ideas. The limited extent of Falla's field work in the realm of folk music makes this source even more valuable to discussions of folk-inspired works such as the Siete canciones populares españolas. The provenance of the melodies employed by Falla in that work has been the subject of articles by Manuel Garcia Matos and Josep Crivillé i Bargalló. While indebted to their research, this study argues that in the Siete canciones populares españolas all of Falla's melodic lines and some of the accompaniments are based, to varying degrees, on the assimilation of materials taken from specific publications in his possession. Falla's exposure to and incorporation of folk music in his scores is also examined, and the Siete canciones populares españolas are situated within the creative context of Falla's Parisian milieu. Finally, similarities are drawn between Falla's use of folk sources and the process through which early music was incorporated into his neoclassical scores of the 1920s.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Igor Stravinsky Pulcinella, Ballet in One Act with Song
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Igor Stravinsky Born June 18, 1882, Oranienbaum, Russia. Died April 6, 1971, New York City. Pulcinella, Ballet in One Act with Song Stravinsky began the ballet Pulcinella in the late summer of 1919 and completed it on April 20, 1920. It was premiered on May 15 of that year by the Ballets Russes, at the Paris Opera. The complete score calls for soprano, tenor, and bass soloists, with an orchestra of two flutes, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, trumpet, trombone, tenor and bass trombone, a quintet of solo strings, and orchestral strings. Performance time is approximately forty minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra first performed the suite from Stravinsky's Pulcinella on subscription concerts at Orchestra Hall on July 17 and 18, 1935, with the composer conducting. Stravinsky also conducted the Orchestra's first performance of the complete ballet score on a special concert at Orchestra Hall on April 17, 1965, with Irene Jordan, Nicholas di Virgilio, and Donald Gramm as soloists. The first subscription concert performances of the complete ballet were given on March 8, 9, and 10, 1973, with Bethany Beardslee, Robert Johnson, and Leslie Gunn as soloists and Lukas Foss conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances of the complete ballet were given on February 8, 9, and 10, 1979, with Maria Ewing, Ryland Davies, and Claudio Desderi as soloists and Claudio Abbado conducting. The suite was most recently performed on subscription concerts on November 28, 29, 30, and December 2, 1997, with Pinchas Zukerman conducting. The Orchestra first performed music from Pulcinella at the Ravinia Festival on July 12, 1970, with Michael Tilson Thomas conducting, and most recently on August 13, 1987, with Leon Fleisher conducting.
