  • Il Romancero Gitano Di Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco Da
    IL ROMANCERO GITANO DI MARIO CASTELNUOVO-TEDESCO DA FEDERICO GARCIA LORCA ANGELO GILARDINO La poesia di Federico García Lorca ha esercitato una vera e propria fascinazione sui compositori del Novecento. Un elenco delle musiche scritte su testi del poeta spagnolo, o comunque ispirate alle sue poesie e alle sue opere teatrali, occuperebbe molte pagine. Mi limito a osservare che non sono stati soltanto compositori di madre lingua e di cultura ispanica a scrivere musiche vocali e strumentali lorchiane, ma anche – anzi soprattutto – compositori di altre nazionalità e culture. Fra loro, spicca la figura del compositore fiorentino Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968), che scrisse un ciclo di sette composizioni per coro misto e chitarra intitolato Romancero Gitano. Questo scritto prende in esame tale composizione, con il proposito di mettere in luce le relazioni esistenti tra il testo poetico e la musica. MARIO CASTELNUOVO-TEDESCO E LA LETTERATURA SPAGNOLA Nato a Firenze nel 1895 da una agiata famiglia di banchieri, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco fu istruito da precettori privati e anche la sua precoce vocazione musicale fu inizialmente coltivata da un rinomato insegnante di pianoforte, Edgardo del Valle de Paz, che gli impartì lezioni a domicilio. In età adolescenziale, fu ammesso al Conservatorio della sua città, dove compì gli studi di pianoforte e di composizione. Gli furono maestri Antonio Scontrino e poi Ildebrando Pizzetti. Il severo insegnamento di Pizzetti lasciò nella formazione di Castelnuovo-Tedesco una traccia indelebile, irrobustendo la sua fertile musicalità naturale con una formidabile tecnica compositiva, 2 che contraddistinguerà tutta la sua opera. Dopo un favorevolissimo sviluppo della sua carriera di compositore, che si svolse sotto il segno della buona sorte per almeno vent’anni, nel 1938 Castelnuovo-Tedesco fu colpito, come tutti i cittadini italiani di religione ebraica, dalle leggi razziali.

His compositional output is prolific and includes string quartets, operas, symphonies, concerti, solo pieces, songs, and religious works. Indeed, Scontrino was a compelling composer who deserves more attention from the international musical community. In addition to his compositional expertise, he was an artful double bass performer whose works for the instrument, while distinctly idiomatic, are compositions of high quality.

  • Federico Incardona and Giovanni Damiani
    Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology 12,2012 © PTPN & Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, Poznań 2012 PAOLO EMILIO CARAPEZZA Aglaia Department. Greek, Latin and Musical Studies, University of Palermo Federico Incardona and Giovanni Damiani ABSTRACT: Together with Sciarrino and Casale, Incardona and Damiani are the most important composers trained at Palermo University’s Musicological Institute. Federico Incardona (Palermo, 1958-2006) reconciles the social commitment of Berg and the political tension of Nono with the sublimated eroticism of Szymanowski. If Nono’s works, like those of Evangelisti in a different way, blend dodecaphonic dialectic with the corporeity of the sound of Varèse, Incardona blends Evangelisti’s sonorous cosmogony with the erotic immediateness of Bussotti. But his principal reference point is Mahler. His music is rich in meaning and strong emotional intensity, concentrated and sublimated: it is like “processes of denuding of the melody, carnal embraces between the parts, dodecaphonic series modelled on the body of the loved one” (Spagnolo). Its “new linearity and temporal tension”, is wedded to the “absolute primacy of expression and emotion”, in full awareness of the “deep unity of emotion and knowledge” (Lombardi Vallauri). Indeed, in the intense expressionism of his music, dodecaphonic construction is always at the service of a dialectical discourse which is dense and deep, but - in his last works - clear and fluid like a melody by Bellini. “Infinite melos”, Marco Crescimanno defines it: harmonic richness and dense hétérophonie complexities are blended; the counterpoint is based “on the superimposition of manifold variations on the same figure, with precise control of the vertical encounters on its melodic-harmonic hinges”.

E se acconsentì a malincuore a ridurre ‘La Figlia di Iorio’ in ‘pillolette quaternarie’ per Franchetti, se per la collaborazione con Zandonai, in occasione della ‘Francesca da Rimini’, accettò l’intermediazione di Tito Ricordi, per Pizzetti e Debussy fu il poeta stesso a riadattare ‘Fedra’ e ‘Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien’. Diverso il caso di ‘Parisina’, musicata da Mascagni, concepita sin dall’inizio come libretto d’opera, sebbene secondo alcuni studiosi si debba includere piuttosto nell’ambito della Literaturoper. Dell’interesse, della frequentazione, della competenza e della sensibilità musicale di d’Annunzio molto si è detto e scritto. La sua passione si presenta sin dalla giovinezza e continua per tutta la vita, si mette in evidenza tanto nell’attività di scrittore di cronache musicali, soprattutto sulle pagine della «Tribuna», che nella produzione letteraria.

  • THE GENERATION VARIATIONS a New Work for Double Bass Soloist
    THE GENERATION VARIATIONS A new work for double bass soloist and electric guitar accompanist Arthur Martin Roth A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Graduate Program in Music York University Toronto, Ontario, Canada June 2016 © Arthur Martin Roth, 2016 Abstract This thesis combines the score of an original work by Arthur Roth for double bass and electric guitar with effects entitled The Generation Variations with a written analysis. The analysis presents the intent, method and purpose of the work. As such, it explicates the piece in an historical context with respect to music for the double bass soloist, compositional context regarding style, era, process, rationale as well as performance practice of the movements. It also outlines the creative inspiration, composition methods and processes used to develop the work both generally, and specifically, with each variation. Finally, this writing concludes with suggestions of newly discovered areas of composition and performance, and alludes to future directions for the development of this piece and for the creation of new music for the double bass soloist. ii Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge my personal, academic and musical friends for their support and inspiration throughout the duration of this project. On a personal level I would like to thank my spouse, Patricia Rhomberg, for her endless patience, love and flexibility during this project and throughout the duration of the unpredictable highs and lows of my professional career thus far.
