Common in Bach in the context of trio sonatas and chorale preludes, tiered polyphony also appears in Brahms’s piano music. When it does, the effect of the polyphony is quite striking: passages exhibiting this texture give off an aura of extreme drive and inexorability. In Brahms’s tiered polyphony, one line usually serves as a guide rail following a chromatic path, another exhibits the surface-melodic pitch cells unique to the piece at hand, and additional voices act as filler. This paper formalizes a system for describing tiered polyphony in terms of its number of voices and their degree of rhythmic/metric and motivic/cyclic independence. It then demonstrates how awareness of this texture can provide insights into Brahms’s works that are unavailable through conventional analytic approaches. In response to tonal readings of Brahms’s Rhapsody in B Minor, op. 79 no. 1, given by Smith (2006) and Samarotto (2003), this paper advocates a motivic approach to explain the harmonic organization of the Rhap- sody’s hexatonic A section and the dramatic roles of its B section and coda. Similar results are obtained when this method is applied to select works from Brahms’s op. 5 and op. 76. CARL MARIA von WEBER’S MEDIANT Transformations Joseph E. Morgan Brandeis University My paper surveys the adult dramatic compositions of Carl Maria von Weber for chromatic transformations and their relationship to the dramatic/poetic organization. The works dis- cussed include his Kampf und Sieg Cantata (1815), the insert aria “Was sag’ ich” (1818), Der Freischütz (1821), Euryanthe (1823), and Oberon (1826). The analyses reveal several functions in Weber’s use of mediant progressions: as a foil to dominant harmony, expressing dramatic developments that are markedly different from those that occur over dominant progressions; as an expression of a character’s romantic transformation, in which the dominant’s arrival is an expression of the resulting conflict of the tonic and mediant areas; and finally, as a sym- metrical organization in which the mediant/submediant areas are treated as poles around tonic harmony. Abstracts Thursday afternoon 40 Auditory STREAM Segregation AND Schubert’S PIANO Sonata IN B-Flat, D.960 Ben Duane Northwestern University This paper explores how auditory stream segregation affects one’s perception of the first movement of Schubert’s Piano Sonata in B-Flat, D. 960. (Stream segregation is a process by which the auditory system organizes segregates sounds into auditory streams.) Several authors have studied the role of stream segregation: e.g. McAdams and Bregman (1979), Wright and Bregman (1987), Huron (1991). These studies, however, are limited either to discussion of gen- eral compositional principles or statistical analysis of large musical corpora, and do not engage music on a measure-by-measure level. I attempt to fill that gap. The paper has two main parts. In part one, I present an analytic method. This method de- rives from Bregman’s (1990) theory that the auditory system accomplishes stream segregation by using multiple heuristics in parallel, each of which attends to a different type of acoustic cue.

  • Stockhausen Concerts and Classes for Clarinettists and Others. Clarinettists Have Reason to Be Very Happy with the Development

    Stockhausen Concerts and Classes for Clarinettists and Others. Clarinettists Have Reason to Be Very Happy with the Development

    Stockhausen concerts and classes for clarinettists and others. Clarinettists have reason to be very happy with the development of their repertoire in de 20th century, as it had a previously unseen growth. One of the main figures of post war new music has been Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928-2007). This often controversial composer has enriched clarinet literature with an unprecedented number of works for clarinet, bassethorn and bass clarinet, especially after 1974. These sometimes demanding pieces, often with theatrical elements, require a specific approach and way of playing, easily underestimated. Stockhausen was well aware of this and started coaching a new generation of players in the 1980’s, in order to pass this tradition of interpretation on to others. In spite of Stockhausen’s compositions having the reputation of being difficult and intellectual (if not quasi-religious), to play, watch and listen to them is generally great fun, and very satisfying to work on - if done well. Because the music calls on many apects of performing (e.g. fysical and mental attitude on stage, memory, presentation, awareness of the structure of the music, disciplin) the leaning process has a beneficial influence on performing traditional music too. This series of concerts and courses offers the possibility to watch, listen, study and rehearse a number of Stockhausen’s works with Michel Marang, a clarinettist who worked with the composer since 1986 and performed his music hundreds of times worldwide. The course can have the character of an introductory lecture and concert, but eventually may result in seminars over a longer stretch of time, as much as needed to bring specific works on concert level.

    Scambi Fushi Tarazu: a Musical Representation of a Drosophila Gene Expression Pattern

    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 4 January 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202001.0026.v1 Scambi fushi tarazu: A Musical Representation of a Drosophila Gene Expression Pattern Derek Gatherer Division of Biomedical & Life Sciences Lancaster University Lancaster LA1 4YW, UK [email protected] Abstract: The term Bio-Art has entered common usage to describe the interaction between the arts and the biological sciences. Although Bio-Art implies that Bio-Music would be one of its obvious sub- disciplines, the latter term has been much less frequently used. Nevertheless, there has been no shortage of projects that have brought together music and the biological sciences. Most of these projects have allowed the biological data to dictate to a large extent the sound produced, for instance the translation of genome or protein sequences into musical phrases, and therefore may be regarded as process compositions. Here I describe a Bio-Music process composition that derives its biological input from a visual representation of the expression pattern of the gene fushi tarazu in the Drosophila embryo. An equivalent pattern is constructed from the Scambi portfolio of short electronic music fragments created by Henri Pousseur in the 1950s. This general form of the resulting electronic composition follows that of the fushi tarazu pattern, while satisfying the rules of the Scambi compositional framework devised by Pousseur. The range and flexibility of Scambi make it ideally suited to other Bio-Music projects wherever there is a requirement, or desire, to build larger sonic structures from small units.

    The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests in Chinese Fiction and Film

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Making the Censored Public: The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests in Chinese Fiction and Film A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature by Thomas Chen Chen 2016 © Copyright by Thomas Chen Chen 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Making the Censored Public: The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests in Chinese Fiction and Film by Thomas Chen Chen Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Kirstie M. McClure, Co-Chair Professor Robert Yee-Sin Chi, Co-Chair Initiated by Beijing college students, the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests—"Tiananmen"— shook all of China with their calls for democratic and social reforms. They were violently repressed by the Chinese state on June 4, 1989. Since then, their memory has been subject within the country to two kinds of censorship. First, a government campaign promulgating the official narrative of Tiananmen, while simultaneously forbidding all others, lasted into 1991. What followed was the surcease of Tiananmen propaganda and an expansion of silencing to nearly all mentions that has persisted to this day. My dissertation examines fiction and film that evoke Tiananmen from within mainland China and Hong Kong. It focuses on materials that are particularly open to a self-reflexive reading, such as literature in which the protagonists are writers and films shot without authorization that in their editing indicate the precarious ii circumstances of their making. These works act out the contestation between the state censorship of Tiananmen-related discourse on the one hand and its alternative imagination on the other, thereby opening up a discursive space, however fragile, for a Chinese audience to reconfigure a historical memory whose physical space is off limits.
