Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Programs, Season 88, 1968-1969, Trip SYMPHONY )fmk OT3 CVW QTTP A FOUNDED IN 1881 BY HENRY LEE HIGGINSON 7 "^^^y TUESDAY A SERIES EIGHTY-EIGHTH SEASON 1968-1969 Exquisite Sound From the palaces of ancient Egypt to the concert halls of our modern cities, the wondrous music of the harp has compelled attention from all peoples and all countries. Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.

TICKET RESALE AND RESERVATION PLAN The ticket resale and reservation plan has now operated for the past five seasons and has proved a great success. The Trustees wish again to thank subscribers who have taken part, and to bring it once more to the atten- tion of all other subscribers and Friends. Should you find that you are unable to attend one of the concerts for which you have tickets, the Trustees hope that you will allow others, who cannot obtain tickets for this subscription series, to have the opportunity to hear the Orchestra. You can do this by telephoning Symphony Hall (266-1492), and giving your name and ticket location to the switchboard operator. Your ticket then becomes available for resale, and the income gained is used to reduce the Orchestra's deficit. Sub- scribers who release their tickets for resale will receive a copy of the program of the concert they miss, and written acknowledgment of their gift for their tax records. Those who wish to request tickets for a specific concert should tele- phone Symphony Hall and ask for 'Reservations'. Requests will be attended to in the order in which they are received, and, since the Management has learned by experience how many returned tickets to expect, no reservation will be confirmed unless the caller can be assured of a seat. Tickets ordered in this way may be bought and collected from the box office on the day of the concert two hours before the start of the program. Tickets not claimed half an hour before concert time will be released. Last season the ticket resale and reservation plan helped reduce the Orchestra's deficit by more than $21,900. 11 v^Jfrfr/> Those new book reviews in The Boston Globe speak volumes.

    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.

  • H-France Review Vol. 15 (August 2015), No. 104 Juliet Bellow, Modernism on Stage
    H-France Review Volume 15 (2015) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 15 (August 2015), No. 104 Juliet Bellow, Modernism on Stage: The Ballets Russes and the Parisian Avant-Garde. Farnham and Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2013. xviii + 280 pp. $119.95 U.S. (cl). ISBN-10: 1409409112. Review by Danijela Špirić-Beard, University of Nottingham. In her monograph Modernism on Stage: The Ballets Russes and the Parisian Avant-Garde, Juliet Bellow uses four relatively unexplored productions--Parade (1917), Cléopâtre (1918), Le Chant du Rossignol (1920) and Le Bal (1929)--to forge an alternative narrative about the Ballets Russes and to restore the company’s central position within the Parisian art world of the 1910s and 1920s. Bellow’s focus on designs by Pablo Picasso, Sonia Delaunay, Henri Matisse and Giorgio de Chirico highlights the complex relationship between Diaghilev’s troupe and the Parisian avant-garde, and spotlights the fascinating and challenging process of transferring two-dimensional artwork (paintings/sketches) to the three-dimensional space of the stage (stage designs/costumes). Modernism on Stage analyses these transformations, tracing forms and ideas as they migrated from painting to stage and back again, and then considers the impact such collaborative ventures had on the artists’ outputs as a whole. In doing so, Bellow prompts new readings of each artist’s oeuvre and of the Ballets Russes in the context of Parisian avant-garde experiments with cubism, simultanism, fauvism and surrealism. The book comprises five main chapters, with a short introduction and a conclusion. The first chapter contextualizes orientalism and the commercial nature of Diaghliev’s pre-war enterprise (Schéhérazade, the Firebird), offset by subsequent radical experiments in L'Après-midi d'un Faune and the Rite of Spring (especially Nijinsky’s choreography).

  • STRAVINSKY: Petrushka • Song of the Nightingale 8.571222
    NAXOS NAXOS Paris was one of the great centres of European art, and Sergey Dyagilev and his Ballet russes brought to the city a succession of epoch-shattering productions that revolutionised ballet. Whilst composing The Rite of Spring for Diaghilev, Stravinsky broke off its composition to write Petrushka, the story of a puppet suddenly brought to life. Choreography was by Fokin and Nijinsky danced the title role. It remains one DDD of the twentieth century’s greatest ballets. Using music from Acts I and II of his opera STRAVINSKY: Le rossignol, Stravinsky’s Song of the Nightingale is a brilliantly orchestrated symphonic 8.571222 STRAVINSKY: poem, richly evoking Chinese music and the allure of the Orient.

  • Part II Repertoire
    125 Part II Repertoire The following is a complete listing of repertoire performed by the orchestra and/or chorus, excluding staged opera performances, and chamber works or art songs performed on MCMA concerts. The list also excludes works performed on programs that did not include either the orchestra or chorus (e.g., works performed by guest choruses). In several “Pops” concerts of the 1960s-80s, the guest artist’s featured works were listed only as “selections” and announced from the stage. It has been impossible to reconstruct some of these programs, so a certain amount of that repertoire has been lost. The repertoire list is organized by composer and cued to the dates of performance. Where possible, arrangers are listed, and cross-referenced to the composers of individual works. Most dates listed represent regular subscription or free concerts from the MCMA or MSO season. The following codes are appended to the date when the work appeared on a non-subscription concert: c = choral programs p = pops programs (1960- ) y = youth concerts (including “Young Peoples’ Concerts, “Fall Youth Concerts,” “Symphony Soup,” and other programs aimed at a young audience (1930- ) f = family neighborhood concerts (1970s) and family concerts (1990s) g = annual Concert on the Green (1996- ) r = runout concerts (outside of Madison) bb = “brown bag” concerts (mid 1970s) s = other special programs (hired concerts, festival programs, etc.) Ade Twentiana / 5/1/93(p) Abert orchestration of “Prelude, Chorale, and Fugue” - Ades see Bach arrangement “Symphonic Portrait of Irving Berlin” - see Berlin Accolay Concerto No.1 for Violin and Orchestra / Albeniz 10/17/89(y) Iberia (“Triana”) / 11/2/52 Jota Aragonesa (orch.

  • Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works Part 4: Russian School by Stephen Barber Borodin Left His Opera Prince Igor
    Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works Part 4: Russian School by Stephen Barber Borodin left his opera Prince Igor unfinished and it was completed from sketches and memory by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov. A scene by scene account of their contributions is available here. (Rimsky-Korsakov’s role in making performing editions of the work of his compatriots cannot be overestimated, though he freely recomposed and rearranged in a way even the boldest of modern scholars would hesitate to do.) This is the standard version, with recordings by Oskar Danon (Eloquence) and Mark Ermler (Melodiya) among others. Some other recordings omit the third act, which is mostly by Glazunov. Valery Gergiev recorded a new reconstruction (Philips). This is based on a fresh examination of all the sources; it takes into account an unpublished vocal score by Pavel Lamm, which reverses the order of the first two acts and has some other changes, and it also has additional material by Yuri Faliek. Another new edition, by Dmitri Tcherniakov and the conductor Gianandrea Noseda, was mounted and recorded by the Metropolitan opera (DG DVD). Borodin also did not complete his third symphony, or rather, he did not write it all down. Two movements were reconstructed by Glazunov, partly from memory. There are numerous recordings, including Loris Tjeknavorian (RCA) and Neeme Järvi (DG). Mussorgsky worked on many operatic projects but completed few of them. He left two versions of Boris Godunov: the 1869 original and his revision of 1872, with extra scenes but also cuts. In practice, most productions are conflated, drawing on both versions, making cuts, moving scenes and otherwise reorganizing the work.

  • Diaghilev's Ballet Russes Sanatsal Bir Devrim Fenomeni
    _____________________________________________________ ART-SANAT 5/2016 _____________________________________________________ AN ARTISTIC REVOLUTION PHENOMENON: DIAGHILEV’S BALLET RUSSES SEDA AYVAZOĞLU Ass.Prof., Adana Çukurova University State Conservatory Performing Arts Department [email protected] ABSTRACT The Ballet Russes (1909-1929) was the revolutionary Russian ballet company under the direction of Russian impresario Serge Diaghilev (1872-1929). The Ballet Russes took an important role as a new art form as rarely taking the old traditions. Before the Ballet Russes, the costumes were nearly uniformity. Not only costumes and scenery newly designed but the music was composed as a new music by commissioned composers such as Stravinsky, Debussy and Ravel. The ballet technique was limited as well. The revolutionary choreographs of Ballet Russes’, such as Fokine and Nijinsky were employed and they no longer limited body movements in dance. The choreographers extended those innovations and brought their modern spirit to large ensemble productions. Ballet Russes wasn’t just a new type and level of ballet performances that surpassed contemporary European ballet, but also a unique artistic phenomenon that shaped the development of Western European in the 20th century. The legacy left by Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes still has an influence on modern ballet companies today. Keywords: Diaghilev, Ballet Russes, choreography, Russian Art, The World of Art. SANATSAL BİR DEVRİM FENOMENİ: DİAGHİLEV’İN RUS BALESİ ÖZ Ballet Russes (1909-1929) Rus menejer Sergei Diaghilev’in (1872-1929) yönetiminde devrimci bir Rus balesi grubuydu. Bale Russes eski geleneklere nadir olarak yer veren yeni bir sanat formu olarak önemli bir rol aldı. Ballet Russes öncesinde kostümler neredeyse tekdüzeydi.
