The Rite of Spring: Rhythmic Rebirths As Delivered by Messiaen and Boulez
Te Rite of Spring: Rhythmic Rebirths as Delivered by Messiaen and Boulez* Wai Ling Cheong A century has passed since Te Rite of Spring (Le sacre du printemps) provoked a riot at the Téâtre des Champs-Élysées on 29 May 1913 and harvested a captivating success from the Parisian audience soon after wards.1 Some of the best minds of our times, Messiaen and Boulez foremost among them, attempted to unravel the ‘secrets’ of Te Rite of Spring, with rhythm prioritised as one of their main concerns. Even be- fore the end of World War II, during the difcult years of the Occupa- tion, Messiaen had already shared his pioneering study of Te Rite of Spring with his star students from the Paris Conservatoire at a private analysis class.2 Messiaen’s insightful analysis of Te Rite of Spring is often praised in a vacuum. For a very long time the details of Messiaen’s anal- ysis were known rather exclusively only to his students. In 1953 Boulez, then in his late twenties, published his exegesis of Te Rite of Spring – Stravinsky Remains (Strawinsky demeure) – which soon became one of his best known analyses and has since then left an indelible imprint on the reception history of the masterpiece.3 Te lack of any formal documen- * Tis project (CUHK14613417) is supported by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council. 1 According to Jonathan Cross, Sergey Diaghilev had assumed a critical role in engi- neering the riotous premiere.

Project-Isorhythm 2019
Project 4: Isorhythmic Trio or Quartet after Messiaen What’s due when: 1. Online discussion comments posted by Tuesday October 1 at noon. 2. Preliminary analysis worksheet completed by Wednesday, October 2. 3. Rough draft completed by Wednesday, October 9. We will read them through (on piano, MIDI playback, and/or in ensemble) and discuss them in class. 4. Score and parts completed in neat copy (by hand or computer) by noon on Monday, October 14, to me by email (Sibelius or PDF; scans of neatly handwritten music are fine). Model: Messiaen “Liturgie de cristal” from Quartet for the End of Time. Instrumentation: 3-4 instruments. One and only one must be a “chord” instrument (piano, marimba, vibraphone, or guitar). The other 2-3 can be any available single-line instrument: voice, flute(s), clarinet, t. sax, bass. Duration: circa 2-5 minutes, circa 4-16 pages of score Formal procedure: Your piece will be based on one or more isorhythmic structures. Each isorhythm should employ a talea (rhythmic cycle) and color (pitch cycle) of different lengths. At least one of the isoryhthmic patterns should run through the entire movement. You may choose what elements are governed by isoryhthmic cycles: it could be certain instruments (like the piano and cello in the Messiaen), or it could be certain dimensions (for example, a harmonic progression, or the notes of a certain register) that are not necessarily localized to one particular instrument. Structure: Think about the relationship between isorhythmically determined and free writing in your piece. Remember that the isorhythmic elements are not “beyond your control” just because you follow a strict procedure, as you are determining the content of the talea and color. -

Cal's Mid-Spring Tournament 2018 Written by Members of the Berkeley
Cal’s Mid-Spring Tournament 2018 Written by members of the Berkeley Quizbowl Club, Weijia Cheng, Ryan Humphrey, Ike Jose, Eddie Kim, Will Nediger, and Jennie Yang Edited by Weijia Cheng, Michael Coates, Aseem Keyal, Bruce Lou, Will Nediger, Ryan Humphrey, Eddie Kim, and Jennie Yang Tossups 1. Two of this author’s characters have their first kiss in a mirror-covered room in a villa filled with grotesques. That happens in a novel ending with Eleonora da Fonseca Pimentel cursing the main characters for their selfishness, declaring “Damn them all.” In a story by this author, Ursula notes that in a story it’s possible to write “He’s still alive” but in a painting or photograph you can’t show the concept of “still.” Ellen Lee accused this author of plagiarizing books like (*) Willa Cather’s My Mortal Enemy in a novel about the actress Helena Modjeska (“maw-JESS-kuh”). An essay by this author is about “the triumph of the epicene style,” which “sees everything in quotation marks.” A novel by this woman fictionalizes the lives of William and Emma Hamilton. Max says “At first he was just losing weight, he felt only a little ill” at the beginning of a dialogue-heavy story by this author about the AIDS crisis. For 10 points, name this author of In America, The Volcano Lover, and “The Way We Live Now,” as well as the essay “Notes on Camp.” ANSWER: Susan Sontag <WN, Long Fiction> 2. A 2004 study which used microsatellite data to identify these things with 99 percent accuracy was co- authored by Heidi Parker and Elaine Ostrander. -
Chapter 3: the Ars Nova: Musical Developments in the Fourteenth Century I. Early Fourteenth Century A. Introduction 1. Changes I
Chapter 3: The Ars Nova: Musical Developments in the Fourteenth Century I. Early Fourteenth Century A. Introduction 1. Changes in notation in the thirteenth century allowed for musical experimentation in the early fourteenth century. 2. The evidence that tells us that fourteenth-century composers understood that they were doing something different can be found in two treatises: The Ars novae musicae by Jehan de Murs and the Ars nova by Philippe de Vitry. B. Music from Mathematics 1. During the fourteenth century, mathematics expanded beyond the boundaries previously seen in European thought. Music, the discipline so closely coupled with mathematics, followed suit. a. A fourfold system existed for musical time. Each of those listed is a subdivision of the previous: Maximodus, Modus, Tempus, and Prolatio. b. Each of these could be divided into two or three parts. 1) The first two are essentially theoretical concepts, and practical use resided in the latter two. 2) These possibilities yield, in modern terms: 9/8, 3/4; 6/8, 2/4. 2. Not everyone liked the innovations of the Ars nova. a. One example of disapproval is Jacobus de Liege’s Speculum musicae. 1) He dismissed the complexity and innovation as superfluous. C. Music about Music 1. Another new idea in the Ars nova concerns a growing realization of self- awareness as composers of art. 2. Music composition is seen as an art, not a craft. D. Establishing the Prototype: The Roman de Fauvel 1. The earliest surviving pieces in the Ars nova style are found in the Roman de Fauvel. a. Compiled around 1317, poem by Gervais du Bus, this manuscript includes 126 musical compositions (different genres). -
