After this event, Brutus would lead Rome to exile the Tarquin tyrants and to found the Roman Republic, becoming one of its first two consuls. For the Lucretia story, see Livy 1.58. For other treatments of Lucretia’s death, see Augustine, City of God (book 1, chapters 16–20), and Shakespeare’s The Rape of Lucrece. In his “argument” before the poem, Shakespeare explains the significance of what followed Lucretia’s death for Rome: “With one consent they all vowed to root out the whole hated family of the Tarquins; and bearing the dead body to Rome, Brutus acquainted the people with the doer and manner of the vile deed, with a bit- ter invective against the tyranny of the King: wherewith the people were so moved, that with one consent and a general acclamation the Tarquins were all exiled, and the state government changed from kings to consuls.” On consuls, see More’s Epigram 198, pp. 113–14. ii c OncernIng The beST STATe Of A cOmmOnWeAlTh and the new island of Utopia, a truly golden handbook, no less beneficial than entertaining by the most distinguished and eloquent man T hOmAS mOre, citizen and sheriff of the famous city of London — —— ——— — ePIgrAmS of the very famous and very learned man T hOmAS mOre, in large part translated from the Greek ii iii cOnTents Paratexts 1* Letter of Erasmus to John Froben .

  • King Crimson Est Un État D’Esprit
    AYMERIC LEROY Plus qu’un groupe ou qu’un style musical, King Crimson est un état d’esprit. C’est en tout cas ce qu’affirme sa figure emblématique, le guitariste et compositeur Robert Fripp. Une vision artistique qui transcenderait les individualités pourtant fortes (Ian McDonald, Greg Lake, Michael Giles, Mel Collins, John Wetton, Bill Bruford, Adrian Belew et Tony Levin) réunies sous cette dénomination, justifiant ses KING CRIMSON multiples réincarnations et son évolution musicale au long d’une carrière qui s’est étendue au total sur quatre décennies. King Crimson reste considéré comme une formation référentielle bien au-delà du cénacle des amateurs de rock progressif, dont il est historiquement l’inventeur mais avec lequel il entretient des rapports ambigus. S’il en présente certains des traits caractéristiques – prédilection pour l’expression instrumentale, propension à la complexité harmonique et rythmique – il n’en demeure pas moins en marge de toute classification limitative. AYMERIC LEROY AYMERIC Exemplaire par son intégrité et sa singularité, l’œuvre de King Crimson – treize albums studio, objets récemment d’une série de rééditions unanimement saluée comme un modèle du genre, mais aussi une . discographie live pléthorique – mérite plus que jamais d’être (re) découverte. Aymeric Leroy a co-fondé la revue de musiques progressives Big Bang, dans laquelle il a rédigé de nombreuses études sur les ténors du genre. Expert reconnu de la scène de Canterbury (Soft Machine, Caravan…), il lui a consacré un site internet de référence, Calyx. Aux éditions Le mot et le reste, il est aussi l’auteur de Pink Floyd, plongée dans l’œuvre d’un groupe paradoxal et de Rock Progressif.

  • Freedom and Construction: New Concepts of Form in the Improvisations and Compositions of King Crimson
    FREEDOM AND CONSTRUCTION: NEW CONCEPTS OF FORM IN THE IMPROVISATIONS AND COMPOSITIONS OF KING CRIMSON By Christopher P. Bohling Copyright 2012 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music. _________________________ Chairperson: Roberta Freund Schwartz _________________________ Paul Laird _________________________ Forrest Pierce Date Defended: December 11th, 2012 ii The Thesis Committee for Christopher P. Bohling certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: FREEDOM AND CONSTRUCTION: NEW CONCEPTS OF FORM IN THE IMPROVISATIONS AND COMPOSITIONS OF KING CRIMSON _________________________ Chairperson: Roberta Freund Schwartz Date Approved: December 11th, 2012 iii Abstract This thesis constructs a coherent system of analyses for the improvised and non-improvised music of the progressive rock band King Crimson, with the intention that the methodologies presented here for discussing collective improvisation should be applied to the music of other rock, jazz, and avant- garde groups. Borrowing methodology from the study of free and postmodern jazz, the thesis develops an analytical system that combines the use of intensity graphs (as developed by John Litweiler and Ingrid Monson) with traditional transcriptions and prose explanations. The intensity graphs are more complex than those created by Monson and Litweiler, as they chart the intensity of multiple instruments that are improvising

  • LUCA MARCONI “Here, There and in Between”: Parole E Musica Nella
    ROBERTO AGOSTINI – LUCA MARCONI “Here, There And In Between”: parole e musica nella prima fase del progressive rock britannico 0. Premessa Il contributo di questo scritto agli atti del convegno “Composizione e sperimentazione nel rock britannico: 1966-1976” consiste nell’affrontare la relazione tra le parole e la musica in due album dei più importanti gruppi del progressive rock inglese pubblicati tra il 1969 e il 1970: In The Court Of The Crimson King dei King Crimson e The Aerosol Grey Machine dei Van der Graaf Generator. Per ogni gruppo ci si concentrerà su una canzone particolarmente esemplificativa della relazione tra le parole e la musica della raccolta studiata. Per inquadrare adeguatamente il brano scelto nell’album nel quale compare, è risultato ogni volta indispensabile presentare alcune considerazioni sulle parole cantate in tale raccolta.1 Le nostre analisi cercheranno di individuare nel testo verbale o musicale di volta in volta considerato ciò che Eco (1979, 1990) chiama “intentio operis”, che può non coincidere con l’intenzione dell’“autore empirico”, cioè del soggetto in carne e ossa che ha ideato tale testo, ma che consiste invece in una serie di inviti che l’ “autore modello” inferibile analizzandolo rivolge al proprio “fruitore modello”.2 1. Il re cremisi e l’uomo schizoide 1.1. Tre ragazzi di provincia arrivano a Londra I King Crimson sono un’evoluzione dei Giles, Giles & Fripp, un trio nato nell’agosto del 1967 a Bournemouth (Dorset) dall’idea di tre giovani musicisti: il batterista Michael Giles (1942), il cantante e bassista Peter Giles (1944) e il chitarrista Robert Fripp (1946).
