  • Eurovision 2008 De La Chanson
    Lieu : Beogradska Arena de Orchestre : - Belgrade (Serbie) Présentation : Jovana Jankovic & Date : Mardi 20 Mai Zeljko Joksimovic Réalisateur : Sven Stojanovic Durée : 2 h 02 Même si nombre de titres yougoslaves étaient signés par des Serbes, en 2007 la Serbie fraîchement indépendante est devenue le deuxième pays à remporter le concours Eurovision de la chanson dès sa première participa- tion. C'est dans la Beogradska Arena de Belgrade que l'Europe de la chan- son se retrouvera cette année. Le concours organisé par la RTS est placé sous le signe de la "confluence des sons" et la scène, créée par l'américain David Cushing, symbolise la confluence des rivières Sava et Danube qui arrosent la capitale serbe. Zeljko Joksimovic, le brillant représentant serbo- monténégrin en 2004, est associé à l'animatrice Jovana Jankovic pour pré- senter les trois soirées de ce concours Eurovision 2008. Lors des deux soirées du concours 2008, les votes des émigrés, des pays de l'ex-Yougoslavie et de l'ex-U.R.S.S. avaient réussi à influencer les résul- tats de telle façon qu'aucun pays de l'Europe occidentale n'avait pu atteind- re le top 10. La grogne et les menaces de retrait ont alors été tellement for- tes que l'U.E.R. a du, une nouvelle fois, revoir la formule du concours Eurovision. Le format avec une demi-finale a vécu, vive le format à deux demi-finales. Avec ce système, dans lequel on sépare ceux qui ont une ten- dance un peu trop évidente à se favoriser et où chacun ne vote que dans la demi-finale à laquelle il participe, on espère que l'équité sera respectée.

Thesis Supervisor: Edel Sanders, Ph.D. Prague-July, 2015. THE EVOLUTION OF AMERICAN MUSICAL THEATRE. 2 Declaration: I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. I give my permission to the library of the Faculty of Education of Charles University to have my thesis available for educational purposes. …...................................... …................................ Prague,20th July, 2015. Asimenou Gabriella. THE EVOLUTION OF AMERICAN MUSICAL THEATRE. 3 Abstract. In this paper I analyse the development of musical theatre through the social issues which pervaded society before and which continue to influence our society today. This thesis explores the link between the musicals of the times and concurrent problems such as the world wars, economic depression and racism. Choosing to base this analysis on the social problems of the United States, I tried to highlight the origins and development of the musical theatre art form by combining the influences which may have existed in humanity during the creation of each work. This paper includes research from books, journals, encyclopedias, and websites which together show similar results, that all things in life travel cycles, and that tendencies and patterns in society will unlikely change fundamentally, although it is hoped that the society will nonetheless evolve for the better. Perhaps the most powerful phenomena which will help people to escape from their sociological problems are music and theatre. Keywords: Musicals, Society,Culture.

    Eurovision Song Contest: la musica che unisce l'Europa... e non solo! C'è chi la definisce la "Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai è una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2018 43 paesi: 42 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area, ma che nel 2015 fu invitata dall’EBU per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che poi a partire dal 2016 è stata ufficialmente invitata dall’organizzazione. Con 43 paesi in concorso, viene eguagliato il numero di artisti in gara nelle edizioni di Belgrado 2008 e Düsseldorf 2011: record assoluto L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano ovvero Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv.

  • Communicating in Song: the American Sung-Through Musical from in Trousers (1979) to Caroline, Or Change (2004)
    Communicating in Song: The American Sung-Through Musical from In Trousers (1979) to Caroline, or Change (2004) A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Alexandre Bádue BM, Federal University of Paraná, 2007 MM, University of Cincinnati, 2012 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT In the American musical theater, the book musical has always presented a conspicuous alternation of songs and spoken dialogue. The former interrupt the latter and provides additional means to depict the characters and the dramatic situations. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, however, a second subgenre of the musical came to prominence: the sung-through musical, in which the entire script—monologues, conversations, turning points—all occur in song, eschewing spoken dialogue and contrasting with the aesthetics of the book musical. This dissertation demonstrates that by avoiding spoken dialogue and increasing the amount of music, American sung-through musicals from 1979 until 2004 challenged the means of structuring musicals. This study investigates how creative teams of sung-through musicals have used songs alone to create, organize, and communicate dramaturgy, questioning the limits between singing and speaking in musical theater. This study comprises twelve sung-through musicals that were written and composed in the United States and originally produced in New York City’s Broadway or Off-Broadway circuits. It does not consider the British sung-through musicals that were successful on Broadway during the same time period.

From that time on, I knew there was something more in this show, than what the television programs suggested to be.

Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2017 42 paesi: 41 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area, che nel 2015 fu invitata dall’EBU per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che dallo scorso anno è stata ufficialmente invitata dall’organizzazione. L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano: Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente.
