Chapter 4 Arranged Folk and Art Musics and New Musical Instruments Text: Eliot Bates Instructor’S Manual: Christopher Roberts Chapter 4 Arranged Folk and Art Musics and New Musical Instruments Text: Eliot Bates Instructor’s Manual: Christopher Roberts All activities are keyed as follows: AA = All ages E = Elementary (particularly grades 3-6) S = Secondary (middle school and high school, grades 7-12) C/U = College and university 1. Arrangements (4.1) (S, C/U). Bates notes that “artful and tasteful performance or recording of a traditional music work is considered by many to have a greater value than the composition of something entirely new” (p. 73). Discuss this statement within the context of the music(s) with which your students are familiar. When is it more true, and when is it more false? 2. Classical music, arranged (4.1) (AA). Both classical and folk music from Turkey have been arranged in new ways. Assign your students to find recordings of classical music that has been arranged in new ways (e.g., the Swingle Singers performing Organ Fugue from Fantasia and Fugue, BWV 542, by Bach; Walter Murphy’s A Fifth of Beethoven, from the soundtrack to the movie Saturday Night Fever; or Mekong Delta’s version of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition). Then, have them fill out Resource 4.1, identifying the differences between the re-contextualization and a more traditional version. As a possible extension, high school and college/university students can share their findings with the class. For elementary students, simplify the assignment by choosing the recordings to play for them, then ask them to identify the differences. 3. Folk music, arranged (4.1) (AA). This is similar to extension activity 4.2. Find an original recording of an old folk song from your country. Then, look for other recordings of that song performed in different styles. Compare the recordings, using the accompanying worksheet in Resource 4.2 as a guide. For example, The Fox (also called The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night) has been performed in numerous contexts on the following albums: a. America’s Favorite Ballads, Vol. 2, by Pete Seeger b. Nickel Creek, by Nickel Creek c. Street and Gangland Rhythms: Beats and Improvisations of Six Boys in Trouble (FW Record 5589); edited by Richard Sorenson d. Harry Belafonte—The Best of (Gold Edition), by Harry Belafonte e. The Daemon Lover, by Custer LaRue 4. Bu Dünya Bir Pencere (4.2) (AA). After learning the tune of Bu Dünya Bir Pencere, from Figure 4.3 on p. 82, listen to the two recordings of the song, tracks 23 and 24. Compare them. Which do you prefer, and why do you think that is? 5. Arrange! (4.1, 4.2) (AA) Assign students to groups of four to six students. Ask them to choose a short tune that is familiar to all of them. Using the grids of the two recordings of Bu Dünya Bir Pencere as an example, encourage students to create their own arrangement of the tune. Students can use found sounds (table tapping, paper crumpling, etc.) for timbral contrast, as well as whatever instruments are available. Once they decide on a form, have them write it down in the same fashion as Figures 4.5 and 4.6 (pp. 83 and 84), then perform their compositions for the class. 6. Soru-Cevap identification (4.3) (AA). Listen to the recording of Zamani Gelir, track 5, using Figure 4.7 (p. 86) to track the soru and cevap sections. After listening once, distribute one copy of Resource 4.3 to each student. Have them tear the paper down the middle, holding the word “soru” in one hand and “cevap” in the other. Play the recording again. Without looking at Figure 4.7, have students raise the appropriate paper as each section occurs. Repeat the exercise, while looking at the figure, for the students to determine how successful they were at identifying the sections. 7. Soru-Cevap characteristics in a modern context (4.3) (S, C/U). Refer back to the information on the soru-cevap form in Section 3.5. Using the checklist in Resource 4.4, check off the presence of various characteristics of the traditional soru-cevap form in Zamani Gelir, track 5, a more modern performance. How much has the performer altered the traditional form? 8. Perform a Soru-Cevap (4.3) (C/U). Dividing students into groups of five to eight classmates, use whatever instruments are available (and that students can play) to have students recreate the notation found in Figure 4.8, on p. 87. Don’t worry about recreating the exact sound of the recording, but try to reflect the soru-cevap structure as much as possible, using the checklist from Resource 4.4 as a guide. The tempo can be slowed, and other alterations can be made as necessary. 9. Visit a recording studio (4.3) (AA). In Section 4.3, Bates describes the way in which music is mixed and edited in modern Istanbul’s music studios. Find a music studio near you, and arrange a visit. Discuss with the recording engineers the common process of creating a musical recording. If possible, observe the process with a musician in the studio. 10. Crossover (4.4) (S, C/U). Many arabesk performers “cross over” to other genres, having the ability to perform different styles of music effectively. Can styles of music? For example, do performers in the Western classical tradition also perform in rock or bluegrass bands? Ask students to find recordings of artists who cross over, and play short excerpts for the class. Also, do any of the students themselves perform music in two or more genres? 11. Musical origins (4.4) (S, C/U). In Turkey, the arabesk genre has mythical origins in Southeast Anatolia, near Syria. Today, however, many arabesk recordings are produced in Istanbul, far from Southeast Anatolia. Think of a musical genre that is associated with a particular region or groups of people. Research the origin of that music to see if this conception is true or not. Then, look to some of the major performers of the genre today: Are they from the region or ethnic/cultural group with which the genre is most closely associated? 12. Banned music (4.5) (S, C/U). Bates informs us that the government banned the Kurdish song Keçe Kurdan, recorded by Aynur Dogan, due to fears that it would encourage girls to leave their husbands and join terrorist organizations. Research the history of the Kurds in Turkey to see the potential reasons behind the government’s concern. Then, look to the text of the song on p. 95. Which parts of the text might lead to the government’s concern? Do you think their perspective is valid or not? As an extension, research other musics banned by those in power, such as The Sex Pistols’ God Save the Queen (banned by the BBC in 1977), Peter, Paul, and Mary’s Puff the Magic Dragon (banned by the Singapore government in 1963), Cole Porter’s You Never Know (banned by the German government in 1939), and Wagner’s music (banned in Israel). Why has this music been banned? Are there some circumstances where it is appropriate to ban music? 13. Arabesk, revisited (4.4, 4.5) (S, C/U). Listen to the beginning of the song Keçe Kurdan, track 25, while following along with the transcription on p. 93. Refer back to Section 4.4 in the text, identifying the different aspects of the recording that make the section of the piece an arabesk. 14. The power of women (4.5) (S, C/U). The text of Keçe Kurdan can be seen as a feminist statement, exhorting women to take control of their lives. Brainstorm with the class a list of other songs from popular culture that celebrate the power of women or encourage them to stand up for themselves, such as Madonna’s Express Yourself, the Dixie Chicks’ Hello Earl, Helen Reddy’s I Am Woman, Aretha Franklin’s Respect, and Madison Avenue’s Don’t Call Me Baby. Are there similar songs for the men’s movement? Why or why not? Name____________________________________________ Resource 4.1: Classical music, arranged Directions: Find an “alternative” version of a piece of music from the Western classical conditions. Compare the new rendition to a more traditional recording, using the following criteria. Instrumentation Form Melody Rhythm Tempo Dynamics Other Which performance do you prefer, and why? Name____________________________________________ Resource 4.2: Folk music, arranged Directions: Compare different versions of a traditional folk song, using the following criteria.

After tearing this paper down the middle, play the track again, holding up the correct word to identify the section of the piece that is occurring at each time. Listen again, checking your answers to Figure 4.7 on p. 86 in the text. Soru Cevap Name____________________________________________ Resource 4.4: Soru-Cevap characteristics in a modern context Directions: The following lists common characteristics of the soru-cevap form. Listen to track 5, Zamani Gelir, checking for the presence of each quality in the more modern recording. Yes No Are the playing styles of the soru and cevap different? Is the ending note of the cevap phrase often the same note as the beginning note of the soru? Does the cevap usually play different musical material than the soru? Does the instrumentation of the soru and cevap differ? Is the cevap usually louder than the soru? Does the cevap contain a greater density and variety of musical ornaments? .

INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION 1 What Grove printed under ‘Gay and Lesbian Music’ was not entirely what we intended, from the title on. Since we were allotted only two 2500 words and wrote almost five times as much, we inevitably expected cuts. These came not as we feared in the more theoretical sections, but in certain other tar- geted areas: names, popular music, and the role of women. Though some living musicians were allowed in, all those thought to be uncomfortable about their sexual orientation’s being known were excised, beginning with Boulez.

  • “Le Freak”—Chic (1978) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Le Freak”—Chic (1978) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Cary O’Dell “Le Freak” 45 sleeve Original 45 label Nile Rodgers Inevitably, there seems to be a collective groan whenever that word is spoken. That word, of course, is “disco.” It is, without question the only musical genre to illicit such a response. No one smirks and recedes from “country” or “classical” or “folk.” It is also the only musical genre to ever have had its own made-to-order funeral: the public lambasting that was the famous—turned infamous—“Disco Sucks” Demolition Night held on July 12, 1979 at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois. Yet, despite all the baggage attached to it, and despite the endless jokes, and the very bad fashion connected with it, the music of disco, itself, has actually aged remarkably well. And, in fact, it has never completely departed. Today, disco beats still rain down from the radio airwaves and steam upwards from the streets and meet on a million dance floors in between. It’s just that, today, instead of daring to utter the word “disco,” we hide these same grooves under euphemisms like “dance” music or “club” music. Founded, more or less, in 1976, the band known as Chic has survived, with some hiatuses, up to the present day. They have also existed in various incarnations with a wide assortment of musicians and singers coming and going over the years. At the time the group recorded their major hit “Le Freak,” however, the group consisted (in the studio, at least) of five members: Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards, Tony Thompson, Norman Jean Wright and Alfa Anderson.

Normalmente, y con raras excepciones, el término se refiere solo a la música de una película o la comercialización de los temas musicales de una obra como videojuegos, programas de televisión y radio. La inclusión de bandas sonoras en películas fue una tarea que llevó tiempo. Los primeros pasos para lograr esto fue intentar que un proyector y un fonógrafo trabajen juntos. Cuando el cine estaba en silencio, en muchas ocasiones había acompañamiento musical. En ocasiones, fue una gran oportunidad para ver imágenes y disfrutar de piezas musicales de grandes artistas.

  • 1 Ervin Jarek 2017 PHD.Pdf
    ii © Copyright by Jarek Paul Ervin All Rights Reserved May 2017 iii ABSTRACT My dissertation takes a speculative cue from the reception of 1970s New York punk, which is typically treated as both rule – the symbolic site of origin – and exception – a protean moment before the crystallization of punk proper. For this reason, artists such as Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, the Ramones, and Blondie are today afforded the simultaneous status of originators, interlopers, innovators, and successors. This has led both to the genre’s canonicity in the music world and its general neglect within scholarship. I argue that punk ought to be understood less as a set of stylistic precepts (ones that could be originated and then developed), than as a set of philosophical claims about the character of rock music in the 1970s. Punk artists such as Patti Smith, Jayne County, and the Ramones developed an aesthetic theory through sound. This was an act of accounting, which foregrounded the role of historical memory and recast a mode of reflexive imagination as musical practice. At times mournful, at times optimistic about the possibility of reconciliation, punk was a restorative aesthetics, an attempt to forge a new path on memories of rock’s past. My first chapter looks at the relationship between early punk and rock music, its ostensible music parent. Through close readings of writing by important punk critics including Greil Marcus, Lester Bangs, and Ellen Willis – as well as analyses of songs by the Velvet Underground and Suicide – I argue that a historical materialist approach offers a new in-road to old debates about punk’s progressive/regressive musical character.
