From left: Mary Bee Jensen, Honorary Congress Chair; Hans J. Holz, IOV Secretary-General; Carmen D. Padilla, IOV President; Iveta Pirgova, Congress Chair; George M. Frandsen, Organizing Chair The participation, though less than initially anticipated due to financial constraints for some and visa problems for others, was substantial. Much was accomplished in the scheduled meetings, most of the scheduled presentations transpired, and many additional activities were enjoyed, some in conjunction with the 20 th anniversary of Summerfest International, an annual cultural celebration. The congress proceeded in an atmosphere of congeniality and goodwill, while a wealth of ideas and accomplishments related to preserving Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) were shared . 1 Tuesday, August 5th On Tuesday, August 5 th , the congress officially began with a memorable Feast fit for a King under the auspices of the National Culinary Center of Azerbaijan. A seven course meal, prepared by Master Chef Tamir Amiraslanov, PhD., was hosted by the Davis Applied Technology College, Department of Culinary Arts in Kaysville, Utah. Students from the culinary arts department assisted in the preparation of the dishes and were on hand to enjoy the fruits of their labor, together with 100 members of the public. The recipes for the dinner were taken from a Twelfth Century manuscript discovered in Azerbaijan. Dr. Amiraslanov is a member of international culinary associations working to reintroduce traditional food into the former Soviet republics. th Wednesday, August 6 A perfect tone was set as a prelude to the conference sessions beginning Wednesday, August 6 th . Mr. Lacee Harris, a Ute Indian Medicine Man, offered up a moving Native American prayer to the four directions and to —Father Sky“ and —Mother Earth.“ While the Ute language was not comprehended by most, it was clear that our world was encompassed in this traditional benediction. A heartfelt welcome by Bountiful mayor, Joe Johnson, ensued. Introductory remarks were made by IOV President, Carmen Padilla and IOV Secretary General, Hans Holz; George Frandsen, IOV USA President, explained the problems causing Ute Medicine Man Lacee Harris reduced ranks while Iveta Pirgova clarified the IOV mission to preserve Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). The involvement of UNESCO with ICH was initially addressed in a session chaired by Kinga Czerwinska of Poland. Dr. Mila Santova, head of Bulgaria‘s Cultural Delegation to UNESCO, explained the Convention on the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of 2003 and its later renditions. Carmen Padilla, UNESCO Commissioner from the Philippines and Vice-Chair of UNESCO‘s Southeast Asian Regional Memory of the World (MOW) Commission, discussed the programs UNESCO currently has for preservation of ICH. Dr. Kinga Czerwinska Prof. Mila Santova (Poland) (Bulgaria) 2 The afternoon session, chaired by Dr. Iveta Pirgova (USA), continued with presentations on UNESCO‘s role in safeguarding ICH. In the evening, after congress participants had enjoyed dinner with host families, they joined Summerfest activities at the annual Festival Street Dance on Bountiful‘s historic Main Street. The visiting dance companies regaled those assembled with performances of traditional dance and provided moments so those interested could join in. Dr. Iveta Pirgova, Congress Thursday, August 7th Chair (USA) The focus of Thursday‘s sessions entailed the Preservation, Adaptation and Presentation of ICH. The morning session was chaired by Vincent Reyes of Guam. Mr. Reyes‘s paper described his personal efforts to revive Chamorro dance, which was destroyed during the Spanish colonial period. With the enthusiastic involvement of the young people he teaches in Guam‘s public schools, Mr. Reyes has succeeded in capturing the interest of students and parents with his touring and performing program. Milan Gabrovec of Slovenia related efforts to preserve folk culture by instituting folk dance as part of the school curriculum. Professor Gabrovec is head master in a primary school which has had a program for teaching folk dance and music to students for over 50 years. Natalija Trivic (Bosnia and Herzegovina) Milan Gabroved (Slovenia) explained how folk tradition connects the various cultures of Bosnia. Ms. Trivic and others from her town of Banjaluka organized a festival in 2008 to Natalija Trivic (Bosnia) bring the ethnically diverse communities of the Balkans together for a week of folk dance presentations. The festival was so successful it will be an annual event. The next session, continuing this theme, was chaired by Professor Anna Lydaki of Greece, who also gave a paper on Gypsies in Greece. Lydaki has published extensively on the history and traditions of the Roma people in Europe. Tian Long of China presented on the role media play s in popularizing traditional music and songs, which in turn assures the survival of traditions for future generations. Prof. Anna Lydaki (Greece) 3 Pasang Sherpa of Nepal spoke on the plan for quality schools in the Sherpa villages of the mountainous regions of Nepal in an effort to preserve traditional culture. He related how the present system of sending Sherpa children to schools in Kathmandu is leaving children without cultural ties to their families and Sherpa communities. This is leading to the loss of the Sherpa language, disrespect for its traditions and ignorance of holidays and rituals. It is hoped that building quality schools will encourage parents to educate their children in the areas where they live so it will no longer be deemed necessary to send them away to live in boarding schools in other parts of Nepal. Paseng Sherpa (Nepal) A reunion of longtime friends Etienne Vankeirsbilck, IOV Co- founder (Belgium) and Professor Mary Bee Jensen (USA) Kate Davidson, recipient of the Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism, informed about the Indian Placement Program of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints and its impact on Native American culture, Kate Davidson (USA) especially Navajo. Davidson, who is a producer at National Public Radio in Washington, D.C., spent a year living with the Navajo in Arizona while producing the documentary. Her lecture was well attended by members of the public, many of whom had personal experience with the Program which was discontinued in 1979. Lunch was generously provided by George Frandsen‘s family in the form of an American style picnic. In addition to great food, the setting under the trees near the city complex provided an additional opportunity for socializing and forging new friendships. The Rocky Mountain Dancers from Arvada, Colorado were on hand to entertain with traditional music and dance. Peggy Pingle, the group‘s director, demonstrated the American tradition of square dance calling. Colorado Rocky Mountain Dancers directed by Peggy Pingle 4 Congress participants enjoy an American-style picnic lunch in the park The afternoon was devoted to a working session and then a group session of ICH Urgent Need Projects. Four working groups met and then presented proposed projects in a session moderated by Davron Azizov of Uzbekistan. The Urgent Need Project addressed one agenda item of the congress, to determine ICH projects for endangered traditions. For example, Iveta Pirgova recommended identifying three Native American cultures (East, West, and Central, with at least one on a reservation). Also discussed was the ancient city of Nesebar, Bulgaria, which will receive UNESCO funding for its preservation and will work with IOV members to showcase its traditional culture. In addition, a working farm as a living museum is to be established in West Herzgovina. An ongoing project, Nanjing YunJin Brocade Institute of China, has applied to UNESCO and IOV for support. IOV delegates attended the Summerfest Festival Opening Ceremony in the evening. All were invited to wear traditional dress and many joined with national flags in a parade through the festival grounds to the main stage. The performance opened with Mr. Lacee Harris, a Ute Medicine Man, again offering a blessing. Carol Dries sang the National Anthem.

Fly High English 8 was published by the Ministry of Education of Uzbekistan, English Net 8 was published as a representative CB taught in the primary schools in Turkey, and Solutions Intermediate was published by Oxford University Press and is considered to be a commercial CB, which was selected as a supplementary one to compensate the other two CBs. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate how the above mentioned CBs reflect communicative skills building. Further, these CBs are analysed comparatively within the central question the extent to which these three CBs could have commonalities in skill objectives reflected in curriculums in terms of student`s mobility, since to equip students for the challenges of intensified international mobility and closer co-operation is the crucial objective of The Common European Framework of Reference. In this context revealing the strengths and weaknesses in the CBs, determining how well the CBs meet the standards of a good textbook in terms of communicative skills building, resolving to what extent do the CBs would expose commonalities in curriculums, aims and objectives and deciding whether they are suitable, or need supplementation for optimal learning is important for this study.

Introduction Felix Markovich Yanov-Yanovsky is one of the most outstanding composers of the republic. Each new composition of the composer arouses the interest of the audience and the considerable attention of musicologists. The degree of studying of his creativity is impressive - even a cursory acquaintance with the bibliography about the composer reveals a large number of monographs, scientific and journalistic articles and essays [2], [3], [4]. A summary of all this material and a significant addition to it was the fundamental monograph "Felix Yanov-Yanovsky" by E. Abdullaeva published in 2015 [1], which included fully implemented information about the life and work of the coryphaeus of the composing school of Uzbekistan.

  • Interpreting and Performing the Chamber Music of Uzbek Soviet Composer Georgi Mushel: the Role of Folk Music
    Interpreting and Performing the Chamber Music of Uzbek Soviet Composer Georgi Mushel: The Role of Folk Music Khilola Yusupov BMus (MusEd) Honours (State Conservatory of Uzbekistan, Tashkent), MMus (State Conservatory of Uzbekistan, Tashkent) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2019 School of Music ABSTRACT This research explores chamber music repertoire, largely unknown to Western audiences, by Georgi Mushel, who is regarded as the founder of a 20th-century tradition of Uzbek art music. Mushel’s musical style was formed under multiple influences stemming from Western (Soviet) and Uzbek folk traditions. While Soviet scholars (Pekker, Vyzgo, Golovyants and Plungyan) claimed that Uzbek folk music had the strongest influence on Mushel’s style, their studies were limited to accounts of the contextual origins of his music, and analysis of scores; they gave very little consideration to performance aspects. Taking Mushel’s Sonatine for Flute and Piano (1948) and Sonata for Cello and Piano (1951) as case studies, this exegesis discusses the challenges of performance and interpretation in maintaining the folk-inspired style of the music while playing Western classical instruments. An investigation of specific performance practices observed in traditional Uzbek music reveals some performative elements and nuances that are not represented in the score, but which performers must absorb to create fully informed interpretations of the music. This investigation focusses on the performance challenges

It has been accepted for inclusion in Eurasian music science journal by an authorized editor of 2030 Uzbekistan Research Online. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The genre of miniatures is the most attractive area of composing, performing and pedagogical creativity. "The richness of expressive possibilities, mobility and flexibility of forms, the ability to respond to many artistic requests" [7, p. 4] are the most important genre features of the miniature, which is found in almost every composer's work. The essence of this genre was expressed very accurately by K. Zenkin: "A miniature is a mirror that reflects the most essential features of the romantic worldview, its concentrated and shortest "artistic formula" " [8, p. 3]. In the XX century, N. Myaskovsky, G. Sviridov, A. Schnittke, S. Gubaidullina, E. Denisov, R. Shchedrin, A. Karamanov and V. Silvestrov turned to the miniature. Bright examples of this genre are presented in the works of A.

The practice of using Uzbek folk melodies in various works began with the very beginning of the school of composition in Uzbekistan. This was actively promoted by such bright and original musicians as M. Ashrafi, V. Uspensky, R. Glier, A. Kozlovsky, S. Yudakov and their followers. Most often, composers quoted Uzbek folk and classical melodies by inserting a new text corresponding to the musical genre of the work (romance, song, aria in the opera). The quote has a special energy, its expressive possibilities are very ambiguous. In the works of Uzbek composers, the quote has always occupied a prominent place. But even here a certain logic of the process reveals itself: the historical dynamics of the semantic functions assigned to the quote is obvious.
