"Raymond & Whitcomb Co * 165 Tremont Street, Boston — Telephone : Beach 6964 : SlNFONIETTA FOR SMALL ORCHESTRA . Alexander Tansman (Born at Lodz, Poland, on June 12, 1897; now at home in Paris) This Sinfonietta, composed in the summer of 1924, was performed for the first time at a concert of the Societe de Musique de Chambre de Paris in Paris on March 23, 1925. It was then said that the Sin- fonietta was composed for a double quintet of wind and string instru- ments, piano, trumpet, two trombones, kettle-drums, and other per- cussion instruments. The programme comprised, besides the Sin- fonietta, a Choral by A. Dulaurens, Schumann's Pianoforte Quintet, Saint-Saens's Trumpet Septet, an air by Handel from a cantata, and four songs by Andre Caplet. The players were Messrs. Dorson, Duran, Jurgensen, Dumont, Lemaire (strings); Moyse, flute; Bleuzet, oboe; Hamelin, clarinet; Oubradous, bassoon; Entraigue, horn;* Benvenutti, pianist. The composer conducted. It was then stated that a version for the pianoforte had already been heard in Paris. We are indebted to the composer for the following description of the Sinfonietta "Having the proportions of a chamber symphony for a small orchestra, it is divided into four sections. The first Allegro begins with a cheerful theme, which, after several rhythmic changes, leads to a melodic, lyrical, *Was the trumpeter M. Vignal?

Director) by the same composer AND THE ORCHESTRA 343 somewhat nostalgic motive given to the oboe. The development brings in a powerful crescendo, based on a pedal which grows stronger and stronger as if mechanically, and reaches its culmination with the trumpet, which brings in the repetition section and the coda, with emphasized force. The form of this Allegro is noticeable by reason of its logical departures from the classic model. "II. The Scherzo is represented by a Mazurka built on two themes: the first light, but with a melancholy note ; the second gay and exciting. The two themes are connected by a melodic bridge constructed on a descending series of sevenths. This brings the placing of the two themes on an ascending scale for the brass. "III. The Notturno is a lyrically pathetic movement, intensely intimate. From the interlacing of atonal figures rises a mysterious choral ending in a tragic outcry, then dying to a murmur.

  • Against Expression?: Avant-Garde Aesthetics in Satie's" Parade"
    Against Expression?: Avant-garde Aesthetics in Satie’s Parade A thesis submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC In the division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2020 By Carissa Pitkin Cox 1705 Manchester Street Richland, WA 99352 [email protected] B.A. Whitman College, 2005 M.M. The Boston Conservatory, 2007 Committee Chair: Dr. Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract The 1918 ballet, Parade, and its music by Erik Satie is a fascinating, and historically significant example of the avant-garde, yet it has not received full attention in the field of musicology. This thesis will provide a study of Parade and the avant-garde, and specifically discuss the ways in which the avant-garde creates a dialectic between the expressiveness of the artwork and the listener’s emotional response. Because it explores the traditional boundaries of art, the avant-garde often resides outside the normal vein of aesthetic theoretical inquiry. However, expression theories can be effectively used to elucidate the aesthetics at play in Parade as well as the implications for expressability present in this avant-garde work. The expression theory of Jenefer Robinson allows for the distinction between expression and evocation (emotions evoked in the listener), and between the composer’s aesthetical goal and the listener’s reaction to an artwork. This has an ideal application in avant-garde works, because it is here that these two categories manifest themselves as so grossly disparate.

  • Reducing the Term of Copyright in Unpublished Works (“2039” Rule)
    December 2014 Consultation on reducing the duration of copyright in unpublished (“2039”) works in accordance with section 170(2) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 About UK Music 1. UK Music is the umbrella body representing the collective interests of the UK’s commercial music industry, from songwriters and composers to artists and musicians, studio producers, music managers, music publishers, major and independent record labels, music licensing companies and the live music sector. 2. UK Music exists to represent the UK’s commercial music sector, to drive economic growth and promote the benefits of music to British society. The members of UK Music are listed in annex 1. General 3. We see no justification to change the 2039 Rule to the extent that it impacts music, whether it is for sound recordings or musicial works. The rule constitutes a compromise achieved in 1988 in order to bring the calculation of term for unpublished works in line with the one for published works in 2039. We note that Government has not provided any evidence in the Impact Assessment which would justify their preferred Option 2a with regards to sound recordings and is otherwise very limited for other forms of works. 4. There are some important general points about the Impact Assessment that we would wish to note: a) On page 1 it is stated that the works cannot be lawfully published if copyright owners cannot be identified. The Government has recently introduced an orphan works licensing scheme to permit lawful publication of such works. In addition the Impact Assessment does not consider whether works subject to the 2039 Rule could be cleared via an extended collective licence.

Les opinions des biographes de Satie divergent quant à savoir si Satie voulait ou non une exécution « complète » de la pièce. Dans cet Aller au sommaire du numéro article, l’auteur évalue comment une interprétation littéraire de la Note peut jeter un éclairage sur les intentions de Satie.
