  • Classics in Jazz
    1 Classics in Jazz Introduction - 2 First Jazz Recording - 5 The Influence of Jazz in Europe and the World - 70 Harling - A Light From St. Agnus - 205 2 Jazz’s Use of Classical Material Introduction Jazz, through its history, has progressed past a number of evolutions; it has had its influences and had both a musical and social background. History never begins or stops at a definite time, nor is it developed by one individual. Growth happens by various situations and experimentation and by creative people. Jazz is a style and not a form. Styles develop and forms are created. Thus jazz begins when East meets West. Jazz evolved in the U.S. with the environment of the late 19th and early 20th century; the music system of Europe, and Africa (with influence of Arab music with the rhythms of the native African. The brilliant book “Post & Branches of Jazz” by Dr. Lloyd C. Miller describes the musical cultures that brought their styles that combined to produce jazz. The art of jazz is over 100 years old now and we have the gift of time to examine the past and by careful research and thought we can produce more accurate conclusions of jazz’s past influences. Jazz could not have developed anywhere but the U.S. In his article” Jazz – The National Anthem” by Frank Patterson in the May 4th, 1922 Musical Courier we read: “Is it Americanism? Well, that is a fine point of contention. There are those who say it is not, that it expresses nothing of the American character; that it is exotic, African Oriental, what not.

  • The Cakewalk in Twentieth-Century French Concert Music Lindy Smith Bowling Green State University
    Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Volume 1 | Issue 1 Article 6 Out of Africa: The Cakewalk in Twentieth-Century French Concert Music Lindy Smith Bowling Green State University Recommended Citation Smith, Lindy (2008) "Out of Africa: The Cakewalk in Twentieth-Century French Concert Music," Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology: Vol. 1: Iss. 1, Article 6. Out of Africa: The Cakewalk in Twentieth-Century French Concert Music Lindy Smith Year IV – Bowling Green State University, Ohio The term “cakewalk” has traditionally been used in a number of different contexts to embody different meanings. For instance, “cakewalk” may refer to a social event revolving around dance. The term is also used synonymously with “ragtime” to identify early jazz styles. An alternative definition refers to the syncopated short-long- short rhythm (in which the long is twice the duration of the short) found in early jazz, which forms the accompaniment for the cakewalk dance and is incorporated into a significant amount of French concert music from the early twentieth-century. In this paper, I will discuss the background and cultural significance of the cakewalk in several of its forms and definitions. I will look first at the evolution of the cakewalk in America and secondly at its development in France by three twentieth-century composers: Erik Satie, Darius Milhaud, and Claude Debussy. Milhaud uses the cakewalk to represent “primitive” cultures while Satie references current popular dance hall music and Debussy offers the cakewalk as an antithesis to the late 19 th -century Germanic tradition. Out of Africa: The Cakewalk in Twentieth-Century French Concert Music The cakewalk dance was first initiated by slaves on plantations in the southern United States.

  • VINCENZO BELLINI, Norma, Orchestra Sinfonica E Coro Del Gran
    IV, 2018 VINCENZO BELLINI, Norma, Orchestra sinfonica e Coro del Gran Teatre del Liceu di Barcellona, direttore d’orchestra Renato Palumbo, regia di Kevin Newbury, 2 DVD C Major 737208, 2015. • Norma, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Royal Opera Chorus, direttore d’orchestra Antonio Pappano, regia di Àlex Ollé. 2 DVD Opus Arte OA 1247 D, 2016. La fortuna teatrale e discografica di Norma sta attraversando un periodo di intensa vitalità che sembrava quasi impossibile fino a qualche anno fa. Molteplici ragioni danno conto di questo rinnovato interesse. Da un lato, l’intenso lavoro critico attorno alla figura di Bellini e dei suoi interpreti ha contribuito a mettere in discussione la tradizione esecutiva dell’opera che si era cristallizzata durante la prima metà del Novecento e di cui, per molti aspetti, Maria Callas ha rappresentato l’apogeo. Dall’altro, la graduale estensione dell’uso di strumenti d’epoca nell’ambito del melodramma italiano del primo Ottocento ha reso possibile la coesistenza, e reciproca influenza, di prassi esecutive le cui premesse storiche e culturali erano in origine diverse. Molti degli sforzi di critici e studiosi interessati agli aspetti esecutivi di Norma sono stati dedicati alla definizione delle caratteristiche vocali e drammatiche dei cantanti per i quali i tre ruoli principali furono scritti: Giuditta Pasta (Norma), Giulia Grisi (Adalgisa) e Domenico Donzelli (Pollione). Tale attività di ricerca ha contribuito a scardinare luoghi comuni e consuetudini esecutive di lunga data, mettendo in luce tanto una frattura tra le concezioni della vocalità del tempo e quelle che dirigono le aspettative del pubblico contemporaneo, quanto il fatto che la proliferazione di soluzioni esecutive quanto mai diversificate non è solo caratteristica dei nostri giorni, ma ha accompagnato la fortuna dell’opera durante gran parte dell’Ottocento.

  • Waghalter Rose from an Impoverished Childhood in Poland to Become Conductor at the Newly Founded Deutsches Opernhaus in Berlin in 1912
    NAXOS NAXOS Ignatz Waghalter rose from an impoverished childhood in Poland to become conductor at the newly founded Deutsches Opernhaus in Berlin in 1912. Here, the first performance of his youthful comic opera Mandragola, attended by luminaries such as Richard Strauss, Busoni, and Humperdinck, won him huge acclaim: the Overture and Intermezzo reveal his orchestral mastery. With the rise of Nazism Waghalter left Europe for America where he strongly identified with the 8.573338 WAGHALTER: WAGHALTER: Afro-American cause, and began work on the New World Suite, ten short movements of rich melodic imagination that illustrate his constant desire to write approachable and lively music.

  • Stylistic Influences and Musical Quotations in Claude Debussy's Children's Corner and La Boîte A
    EVOCATIONS FROM CHILDHOOD: STYLISTIC INFLUENCES AND MUSICAL QUOTATIONS IN CLAUDE DEBUSSY’S CHILDREN’S CORNER AND LA BOÎTE À JOUJOUX Hsing-Yin Ko, M.B., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2011 APPROVED: Vladimir Viardo, Major Professor Elvia Puccinelli, Minor Professor Frank Heidlberger, Committee Member Jesse Eschbach, Chair of the Division of Keyboard Studies Lynn Eustis, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James Scott, Dean of College of Music James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Ko, Hsing-Yin, Evocations from Childhood: Stylistic Influences and Musical Quotations in Claude Debussy’s Children’s Corner and La Boîte à Joujoux. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2011, 44 pp., 33 musical examples, bibliographies, 43 titles. Claude Debussy is considered one of the most influential figures of the late 19th century and early 20th centuries. Among the various works that he wrote for the piano, Children’s Corner and La Boîte à joujoux distinguish themselves as being evocative of childhood. However, compared to more substantial works like Pelléas et Mélisande or La Mer, his children’s piano music has been underrated and seldom performed. Children’s Corner and La Boîte à joujoux were influenced by a series of eclectic sources, including jazz, novel “views” from Russian composers, and traditional musical elements such as folk songs and Eastern music. The study examines several stylistic parallels found in these two pieces and is followed by a discussion of Debussy’s use of musical quotations and allusions, important elements used by the composer to achieve what could be dubbed as a unique “children’s wonderland.” Copyright 2011 by Hsing-Yin Ko ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES ...............................................................................................
