(Parašas) (Vardas, pavardė) 2 Jolanta Grinevič György Ligeti Sonatos „Hora lungă“ mikrotoninio atlikimo dėsningumai SANTRAUKA Intonavimas – vienas iš svarbesnių muzikos aspektų. Nuo intonavimo priklauso bendras atlikimo skambesys, kokybė. Daugelis muzikologų, analizavo ir tyrė tokias temas, kaip intonavimo problemos, kaip atpažįstama, ar intonavimas yra tinkamas, kokie yra aukščio suvokimo gebėjimai, kaip gebama suvokti aukščio skirtumus, nuo ko tai priklauso ir kokios aplinkybės padeda (arba trukdo) gerai atpažinti ir (arba) intonuoti skirtingus garsus. Pateikiamas tyrimas susijęs su tokiomis intonavimo problemomis, tiriami būtent mikrotoninės muzikos atlikimo dėsningumai. Darbe keliamos tokios problemos: su kokiais sunkumais susiduria atlikėjai grojant mikrotoninę muzika, kas juos lemia? Kokie išoriniai veiksniai padeda (arba trukdo) atlikėjams gerai intonuoti garsus? Tyrimui pasirinktas György Sándor Ligeti kūrinys altui „Hora lungă“. Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti kūrinio „Hora lungă“ atlikimo intonavimo dėsningumus. Tyrimui pasirinkti keturių atlikėjų garso įrašai, naudojami akustinės ir statistinės analizės metodai. Nustatyta, kad intonavimas priklauso nuo daugelio veiksnių – garso trukmės, melodinio konteksto, tesitūros, individualių atlikėjo savybių – jo patirties, įgūdžių, klausos jautrumo. Mikrotoniniai garsai intonuojami netiksliausiai. Raktiniai žodžiai: mikrotoninė muzika, atlikimo dėsningumai, intonavimas, darna, dermė, aukščio diferencinė riba. 3 Jolanta Grinevič „György Ligeti Sonata „Hora lungă“: Regularities of microtonal performance“ SUMMARY Intonation is one of the most important aspects of music, affecting the overall sound and quality of any performance. Many musicologists have analysed topics such as intonation problems, how people recognize good intonation, the awareness of pitch and the perception of its differentiation, what it depends on and what circumstances help (or interfere with) the ability to recognize and/or intonate different sounds. This research deals with intonation problems and is focussed on patterns of microtonal music as it is important to know how a performer sees this music as well as how microtonal sounds are intoned in a performance. The following problems are raised in the research: what are the difficulties faced by performers playing microtonal music? Why do problems occur while playing microtonal music? What external factors help (or hinder) performers to intonate sounds precisely? As an example, intonation aspects of Hora Lungă by György Sándor Ligeti are chosen. Research purpose: to determine patterns of intonation of Hora Lungă. Sound recordings provided by four performers are chosen for the analysis. Acoustical analysis (pitch measurements) and statistical analysis for the generalization of results are applied. A conclusion can be drawn that intonation depends on many factors such as the duration of the sound, the melody context as well as pitch range (intonation gets worse while playing high notes). Experience and skills of a performer, his/her hearing sensitivity are among important factors, too. Microtonal sounds are intoned worse compared to the straight tempered equivalents. Key words: microtonal music, intonation in music, tuning system, scale, just noticeable difference. 4 TURINYS ĮVADAS.....................................................................................................................................7 1.

Nuo intonavimo priklauso bendras atlikimo skambesys, kokybė. Daugelis muzikologų tyrė intonavimo problemas, kaip atpažįstamas geras intonavimas, koks yra aukščio suvokimo tikslumas, nuo ko jis priklauso ir kokios aplinkybės padeda (arba trukdo) gerai atpažinti ir (arba) intonuoti skirtingus garsus. Dar Savart‘o eksperimentais (1840) nustatyta, kad reikia bent dviejų virpesių ciklų, kad žmogus atpažintų garso aukštį – labai trumpas garsas išvis neturi aukščio kokybės. Trumpi tonai skiriami prasčiau; kuo garsas ilgesnis, tuo jis suvokiamas geriau. Pasak S. S. Stevenso (1935) garso aukštis priklauso ir nuo garso stiprumo; kintant garso stiprumui, gali keliais centais keistis ir garso aukštis. Suvokiami garso aukščio skirtumai priklauso ir nuo garso stiprio. Pagal Wier, Jestead, and Green

Introduction “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” -Anais Nin Living in Hungary has allowed me an insight into better understanding Hungarian composers and their world. This, in turn, has given me a more complete comprehension of their music. My original goal was to better grasp what I perceived to be a sense of honesty in Hungarian classical music, an immediacy and direct purpose that classical music from some other areas of origin does not often display. I found that this honesty does indeed exist in the works of many varied Hungarian composers, and I began the interesting process of trying to determine why.

  • Passacaglia and Lament in Ligeti's Recent Music
    tijdschrift 2004 #9/1/2 22-01-2004 09:16 Pagina 1 stephen taylor Passacaglia and lament in Ligeti’s recent music1 György Ligeti’s music since his opera Le Grand Macabre (1974-77, revised 1996) could be described as a collage of different compositional techniques. Two of the most prominent are passacaglia, and a melodic figure Ligeti calls the ‘lament motive’, based on the descending chromatic scale. Passacaglia and chromatic scales have appeared in Ligeti’s music since his student days, but they have become especially prominent in his recent music. This essay examines the development of these two techniques, focusing on their combination in the Horn Trio and Violin Concerto. These works not only show us how Ligeti uses the same ideas in different contexts; they also provide an overview of his recent compositional technique. Of the various compositional devices that appear in Ligeti’s music since his opera Le Grand Macabre (1974-77), two of the most prominent are the passacaglia and a melodic figure Ligeti calls the ‘lament motive’, based on the descending chromatic scale. Table 1 shows a list of works from the opera to the late 1990s in which these techniques appear. This essay examines the two slow movements that combine them: the fourth movement of the Horn Trio, ‘Lamento’, from 1982, and the fourth move- ment of the Violin Concerto, ‘Passacaglia: Lento intenso’, written a decade later. While both movements have much in common, their differences also highlight how Ligeti’s music has developed since he embarked on his new style in the early 1980s.

  • Characteristics of Choral Writing in György Ligeti's Late Works*
    UDC 784.1 Вестник СПбГУ. Искусствоведение. 2018. Т. 8. Вып. 4 Characteristics of Choral Writing in György Ligeti’s Late Works* A. S. Ryzhinskii Gnesins’ Russian Academy of Music, 30–36, Povarskaya str., Moscow, 121069, Russian Federation For citation: Ryzhinskii, Aleksandr. “Characteristics of Choral Writing in György Ligeti’s Late Works”. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Arts 8, no. 4 (2018): 578–92. https://doi.org/10.21638/ spbu15.2018.403 Article is devoted to the last vocal works a cappella created Gyorgÿ Ligeti in 1980 — the 1990th years: “Drei Phantasien nach Fridrich Hölderlin”, “Magyar Etüdök” and “Nonsense Madrigals”. The author traces relationship between the previous and last choral opuses by the master, between Ligeti’s choral works and choral creativity of his predecessors and contemporaries. So the author reveals features of ligeti’s late choral style: at the levels of relationship between word and music, the texture and timbre organization. The author pays special attention to studying of Ligeti’s neomadrigalism. This phenomenon proves in the organization of musical texture, in interaction of musical and literary texts and also in the general organization of compositions. The opposition of love and death (immemorial categories of human life) is the cornerstone of the dramaturgic organization of a cycle and typical for Ligeti’s vocal works “polyphony of meanings” is shown in the constant present genre and style game with the recipient. The composition intended for “The King’s singers” embodies diverse style hints, corresponding to the wide performing range of this ensemble and own musical interests of the composer. In this last vocal work by Ligeti also his love to literary world of Lewis Carroll with the atmosphere of absurdity, so conformable to the music world of the author of “Le Grand Macabre” was reflected.

  • Alan Gilbert Conducts World Premiere of William Bolcom's
    New York Philharmonic Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875 -5718; [email protected] May 23–June 11, 2016 JUNE 10, 2016, AT DAVID GEFFEN HALL: ALAN GILBERT To Conduct the NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC World Premiere of William BOLCOM’s Trombone Concerto with Principal Trombone JOSEPH ALESSI New York Premiere of John CORIGLIANO’s Conjurer, with Percussionist MARTIN GRUBINGER As part of the NY PHIL BIENNIAL, Alan Gilbert will lead the New York Philharmonic at David Geffen Hall in works by two American composers of the same generation: the World Premiere–Philharmonic Co-Commission of a Trombone Concerto by William Bolcom (United States, b. 1938), with Philharmonic Principal Trombone Joseph Alessi as soloist, and the New York Premiere of Conjurer by John Corigliano (United States, b. 1938), with percussionist Martin Grubinger as soloist in his Philharmonic debut. William Bolcom said of the commission for his Trombone Concerto: “Joseph Alessi’s recordings have shown a consummate musician with perfect intonation, wide stylistic sense, lyrical phrasing, and dazzling technique. I hope and intend that Joe’s warmth and geniality will find their way into this concerto, along with his interpretative breadth.” The work is a Philharmonic co-commission with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, made possible with generous support from Edward Stanford and Barbara Scheulen. The Philharmonic has performed six works by William Bolcom since 1973, including the World Premiere of his Clarinet Concerto, commissioned by the Philharmonic (1992, with former Principal Clarinet Stanley Drucker and led by Leonard Slatkin) as part of its 150th anniversary celebration. Joseph Alessi premiered 2012–15 Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence Christopher Rouse’s Pulitzer Prize–winning Trombone Concerto, also commissioned for the Orchestra’s 150th anniversary project (1992, led by Leonard Slatkin), and Melinda Wagner’s Trombone Concerto (2007, led by Lorin Maazel).

  • Ramifications of Surrealism in the Music of György Ligeti
    JUXTAPOSING DISTANT REALITIES: RAMIFICATIONS OF SURREALISM IN THE MUSIC OF GYÖRGY LIGETI Philip Bixby TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 9, 2017 ________________________________ Charles Carson, Ph.D. Butler School of Music Supervisor ________________________________ Elliott Antokoletz, Ph.D. Butler School of Music Second Reader Abstract: Author: Philip Bixby Title: Ramifications of Surrealism in the Music of György Ligeti Supervisors: Charles Carson, Ph.D. Elliott Antokoletz, Ph.D. György Ligeti is considered by many scholars and musicians to be one of the late twentieth century’s most ingenious and influential composers. His music has been particularly difficult to classify, given the composer’s willingness to absorb a multitude of musical influences, everything from high modernism and electronic music to west-African music and Hungarian folk-song. One aesthetic influence that Ligeti acknowledged in the 1970s was Surrealism, an early twentieth-century art movement that sought to externalize the absurd juxtapositions of the unconscious mind. Despite the composer’s acknowledgement, no musicological inquiry has studied how the aesthetic goals of Surrealism have manifested in his music. This study attempts to look at Ligeti’s music (specifically the music from his third style period) through a Surrealist lens. In order to do this, I first establish key definitions of Surrealist concepts through a close reading of several foundational texts of the movement. After this, I briefly analyze two pieces of music which were associated with the beginnings of Surrealism, in order to establish the extent to which they are successfully Surreal according to my definitions. Finally, the remainder of my study focuses on specific pieces by Ligeti, analyzing how he is connected to but also expands beyond the “tradition” of musical Surrealism in the early twentieth century.
