  • Thesis Submission
    Rebuilding a Culture: Studies in Italian Music after Fascism, 1943-1953 Peter Roderick PhD Music Department of Music, University of York March 2010 Abstract The devastation enacted on the Italian nation by Mussolini’s ventennio and the Second World War had cultural as well as political effects. Combined with the fading careers of the leading generazione dell’ottanta composers (Alfredo Casella, Gian Francesco Malipiero and Ildebrando Pizzetti), it led to a historical moment of perceived crisis and artistic vulnerability within Italian contemporary music. Yet by 1953, dodecaphony had swept the artistic establishment, musical theatre was beginning a renaissance, Italian composers featured prominently at the Darmstadt Ferienkurse , Milan was a pioneering frontier for electronic composition, and contemporary music journals and concerts had become major cultural loci. What happened to effect these monumental stylistic and historical transitions? In addressing this question, this thesis provides a series of studies on music and the politics of musical culture in this ten-year period. It charts Italy’s musical journey from the cultural destruction of the post-war period to its role in the early fifties within the meteoric international rise of the avant-garde artist as institutionally and governmentally-endorsed superman. Integrating stylistic and aesthetic analysis within a historicist framework, its chapters deal with topics such as the collective memory of fascism, internationalism, anti- fascist reaction, the appropriation of serialist aesthetics, the nature of Italian modernism in the ‘aftermath’, the Italian realist/formalist debates, the contradictory politics of musical ‘commitment’, and the growth of a ‘new-music’ culture. In demonstrating how the conflict of the Second World War and its diverse aftermath precipitated a pluralistic and increasingly avant-garde musical society in Italy, this study offers new insights into the transition between pre- and post-war modernist aesthetics and brings musicological focus onto an important but little-studied era.

  • Il Canto Sospeso Di Luigi Nono: Un Percorso Didattico
    Musica Docta. Rivista digitale di Pedagogia e Didattica della musica, pp. 151-165 PAOLO SOMIGLI Bolzano IL CANTO SOSPESO DI LUIGI NONO: UN PERCORSO DIDATTICO INTRODUZIONE – Presentazione dell’argomento Luigi Nono (1924-1990) compose Il canto sospeso per soprano, contralto, tenore, coro misto e orchestra su testi dalle Lettere di condannati a morte della Resi- stenza europea (a cura di P. Malvezzi e G. Pirelli, Torino, Einaudi, 1954) tra il 1955 e il 1956. La prima esecuzione si tenne a Colonia, il 24 ottobre 1956, nell’àmbito della rassegna “Musik der Zeit”. In virtù delle proprie caratteristi- che sonore ed espressive e del tema affrontato la composizione si è imposta come una delle più significative dell’autore e del secondo Novecento in genera- le. Poco dopo la sua prima esecuzione essa fu inoltre al centro d’una polemica le cui implicazioni vanno oltre gli aspetti di tipo strettamente musicale. Quest’insieme di elementi fa de Il canto sospeso un lavoro quanto mai idoneo all’impiego didattico nella scuola secondaria di primo grado (ultimo anno) o di secondo grado (biennio, oppure ultimo anno) tanto per l’educazione musicale in una prospettiva strettamente disciplinare quanto per i percorsi interdiscipli- nari e trasversali ch’essa può suggerire, in particolare con lettere, storia ed edu- cazione alla cittadinanza.1 ORIENTAMENTO – Presentazione generale dell’opera Nono cominciò a pensare all’opera alcuni anni prima della sua effettiva stesura: in quella fase meditava di fondare un proprio lavoro sugli scritti dal Questo percorso è nato come guida all’ascolto per il pubblico in occasione dell’e- secuzione de Il canto sospeso all’Auditorium Manzoni di Bologna per il ciclo “Resistenza illuminata” della stagione concertistica 2015 del Teatro Comunale di Bologna ed è sta- to presentato nella conferenza Luigi Nono e la musica sospesa assieme a Nicola Sani, compositore e sovrintendente del Teatro, il 7 maggio 2015.

My work seeks to focus on timbre and texture as guiding parameters, with due attention to comprehensibility through unity of material. I first give an overview of my compositional processes during the years previous to my research. Then I discuss the general principles of my present approach, sketching the links between it and earlier work. Finally, I illustrate these principles by discussing individual pieces and the links between them. i List of Contents Abstract ……………………………………………………………………………………………………….. i List of Contents .……………………………………………………………………………………………. ii List of figures ……………………………………………………………………………………………….. iii List of Accompanying Material …..……………………………………………………………………. iv Acknowledgements ……………………………………………………..……………………………….. v Author’s declaration ………………………………………………………………………………………. vi Part 1: An Overview Chapters 1.

  • Genesi Ed Estetica Del Suono Nel Prometeo Di Luigi Nono
    Simone Broglia “Vibrano intese segrete”. Genesi ed estetica del suono nel Prometeo di Luigi Nono. Il Prometeo rappresenta per Nono il raggiungimento di un’idea: l’opera in funzione dell’ascolto. Arriva quasi al termine della carriera del compositore, segnando così il picco massimo di una ricerca tanto profonda da non riuscire ancora ad ammettere sintesi, ma solo l’unione più o meno organica e vitale di diverse parti che vanno a formare il corpo di un gigante. La sintesi arriverà dopo Prometeo, con la maturità di un’esperienza tanto complessa che gli permetterà di lavorare in formazioni più agili e progetti meno dispendiosi. Prometeo è un’opera del 1984, la cui idea nasce però anni prima con Io, frammento da Prometeo del 1981 e che si farà carico di portare con sé i vari campi della ricerca noniana. Quella di un nuovo teatro musicale, che parte con Intolleranza 1960 e si sviluppa con Al gran sole carico d’amore e che ha l’intento primario di cercare un maggiore coinvolgimento sinestetico attraverso il dislocamento spaziale della scena. La ricerca sulla dimensione elettroacustica, che passa dalla fissità del nastro magnetico suonato con lo strumento dal vivo alla continua capacità di dialogo rigenerante del live electronic e del calcolatore 4i; la ricerca compositiva sulle prassi esecutive e i microintervalli. A questo lavoro di carattere estetico si deve sommare però, come spesso avviene in Nono, una necessità etica: portare in primo piano l’ascolto vuol dire sviluppare una modalità sovversiva rispetto al sistema egemone di trasmissione acustica, estetica e culturale. Ecco allora che, se Venezia diventa la similitudine primaria di un ascolto contrario alla monodirezionalità, il coinvolgimento del giovane architetto Renzo Piano diventa essenziale per la progettazione di uno spazio in grado di ricreare un multiverso sonoro.

  • THE BASS CLARINET RECITAL with Copyright
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY THE BASS CLARINET RECITAL: THE IMPACT OF JOSEF HORÁK ON RECITAL REPERTOIRE FOR BASS CLARINET AND PIANO AND A LIST OF ORIGINAL WORKS FOR THAT INSTRUMENTATION A LECTURE RECITAL/PERFORMANCE DOCUMENT SUBMITTED TO THE BEINEN SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSIC By Melissa Sunshine Simmons EVANSTON, IL June, 2009 © 2009 Melissa Sunshine Simmons ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2 ABSTRACT Instrumental and vocal recitals in the Western classical music tradition have been a part of society for centuries. The bass clarinet was developed in the late 18th century and gained widespread acceptance in the latter part of the 19th century as a viable orchestral instrument, but it did not follow suit into the recital tradition until the middle of the 20th century. In 1955, Josef Horák of the former Czechoslovakia presented a recital of music for bass clarinet and piano. It was the first of its kind. The lack of repertoire for the combination of bass clarinet and piano quickly became obvious. Horák devoted his career to working with many composers across the globe and developing a substantial body of works for the bass clarinet. He also performed in many different countries, bringing exposure to this new repertoire. His efforts have resulted in a significant and exponentially growing exposure to an instrument worthy of its own solo recital repertoire. This document examines the life of Josef Horák, his collaboration with pianist Emma Kovárnová, and the music written for their ensemble, Due Boemi di Praga. It explores their struggle to make music within the confines of Communist Czechloslovakia and their influence on the musical world outside of their native land.

  • A Folk Music for the Double Bass Håkon Thelin
    A Folk Music for the Double Bass Håkon Thelin During the past years, I have come closer to discovering my own musical voice, as it speaks through the double bass. Though my musical training might have followed a line of rather conventional musical practice, it was continually ensued by an evolving thought regarding the contextualization of this instrument-specific language of music, which I have come to call a folk music for the double bass – an approach that strongly relates to the aspirations of the great Italian double bass player and composer Stefano Scodanibbio who says that he wants “to allow the contrabass to sing with its own voice”.1 During the 1980s Scodanibbio discovered this voice, that comes from the instrument itself, as being based on the possibilities the instrument offers. The main discovery that furthered the establishment and refining of such a language was the expansion of flageolet techniques, the most evident of these being the interchanging of ordinary tones and flageolets. This conception of a music that is in a sense rooted in the instruments very own qualities and characteristics, a folk music for the double bass, so to speak, has been the main goal in creating my own music, and my aspiration in publishing the sounding results of my works for double bass on my CD Light.2 To create a composed music, bound by intricate fixed rhythms, melodic shapes and forms, but yet to evince the sounding impressions of improvisation. My music thus follows a tradition that is based upon the exploration of those sounds that can be particularly well expressed through the double bass.

  • On Luigi Nono's Political Thought
    On Luigi Nono’s Political Thought: Emancipation Struggles, Socialist Hegemony and the Ethic Behind the Composition of Für Paul Dessau LUIS VELASCO-PUFLEAU Abstract The musical activism of the Italian composer Luigi Nono (1924–1990) is one of the most fascinating examples of the relationship between music and politics in the second half of the twentieth century. A member of the Italian Communist Party (PCI) from 1952, he considered music as a tool for the establishment of socialist hegemony. In this article, I first examine how concepts from Antonio Gramsci underlie Nono’s political thought, the relationship between his conception of social justice struggles and violence, and the ethic behind his compositional practice. Secondly, I analyze how Nono addressed his political and ethical commitment in his last work for magnetic tape, Für Paul Dessau (1974). This article aims to contribute to the discussion on Nono’s appropriation of Gramsci’s ideas, shedding light on how Nono addressed the memory of antifascism, Cold War politics, and Third World international liberation struggles in works from the 1950s to the early 1970s. Introduction In 1971 the Italian composer Luigi Nono (1924–1990) described himself as an “activist-musician not above but within the class struggle as it exists.”1 This idea refers to one of Nono’s biggest concerns: how to reconcile in a coherent manner his artistic activity as a composer with his political commitment and the role he granted himself in the transformation of society. As Nono asserted in 1969, for him there
