    Positions, Methodologies and Aesthetics in the Published Discourse about Brian Ferneyhough: A Critical Study Ian Pace1 Since Brian Ferneyhough achieved a degree of public recognition following the premiere of his Transit (1972-75) in March 1975 at the Royan Festival, a range of writings on and reviews of his work have appeared on a relatively regular basis. The nature, scope, style, and associated methodologies of these have expanded or changed quite considerably over the course of Ferneyhough's career––in part in line with changes in the music and its realization in performance––but nonetheless one can discern common features and wider boundaries. In this article, I will present a critical analysis of the large body of scholarly or extended journalistic reception of Ferneyhough's work, identifying key thematic concerns in such writing, and contextualizing it within wider discourses concerning new music. Several key methodological issues will be considered, in particular relating to intentionality and sketch study, from which I will draw a variety of conclusions that apply not only to Ferneyhough, but to wider contemporary musical study as well. Early Writings on Ferneyhough The first extended piece of writing about Ferneyhough's work was an early 1973 article by Elke Schaaf2 (who would become Ferneyhough's second wife),3 which deals with Epicycle (1968), Missa Brevis (1969), Cassandra's Dream Song (1970), Sieben Sterne (1970), Firecyle Beta (1969-71), and the then not-yet-complete Transit. Schaaf’s piece already exhibits one of the most

This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Two Responses to Modernism: Minimalism and New Complexity in Solo Flute Repertoire by Twila Dawn Bakker Bachelor of Arts, University of Alberta, 2008 Supervisory Committee Dr. Jonathan Goldman, School of Music Supervisor Dr. Michelle Fillion, School of Music Departmental Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Jonathan Goldman, School of Music Supervisor Dr. Michelle Fillion, School of Music Departmental Member Wind repertoire, especially for flute, has received little focused attention in the musicological world especially when compared with other instruments. This gap in scholarship is further exacerbated when the scope of time is narrowed to the last quarter of the twentieth century. Although Minimalism and New Complexity are – at least superficially – highly divergent styles of composition, they both exhibit aspects of a response to modernism. An examination of emblematic examples from the repertoire for solo flute (or recorder), specifically focusing on: Louis Andriessen’s Ende (1981); James Dillon’s Sgothan (1984), Brian Ferneyhough’s Carceri d’Invenzione IIb (1984), Superscripto (1981), and Unity Capsule (1975); Philip Glass’s Arabesque in Memoriam (1988); Henryk Górecki’s Valentine Piece (1996); and Steve Reich’s Vermont Counterpoint (1982), allows for the similarities in both genre’s response to modernism to be highlighted.

The Early Medieval Music (500-1150). i. Early chant traditions Chant (or plainsong) is a monophonic sacred form which represents the earliest known music of the Christian Church. The simplest, syllabic chants, in which each syllable is set to one note, were probably intended to be sung by the choir or congregation, while the more florid, melismatic examples (which have many notes to each syllable) were probably performed by soloists. Plainchant melodies (which are sometimes referred to as a “drown,” are characterized by the following: A monophonic texture; For ease of singing, relatively conjunct melodic contour (meaning no large intervals between one note and the next) and a restricted range (no notes too high or too low); and Rhythms based strictly on the articulation of the word being sung (meaning no steady dancelike beats). Chant developed separately in several European centers, the most important being Rome, Hispania, Gaul, Milan and Ireland. Chant was developed to support the regional liturgies used when celebrating Mass. Each area developed its own chant and rules for celebration. In Spain and Portugal, Mozarabic chant was used, showing the influence of North Afgican music. The Mozarabic liturgy survived through Muslim rule, though this was an isolated strand and was later suppressed in an attempt to enforce conformity on the entire liturgy.

  • Chapter 1: from Autonomy to Heteronomy: a Change of Paradigm in South African Art Music, 1980-2006
    Chapter 1: From autonomy to heteronomy: A change of paradigm in South African art music, 1980-2006 Introduction Composition in South Africa has been an increasingly contested artistic and ideological space since the early 1980s. In this dissertation I argue that the demise of apartheid and the rise of democracy resulted in an institutional and aesthetic crisis for the field of composition, embodied in musical terms by a shift away from a Eurocentric paradigm to a cross-cultural one that embraced various ‘African elements’ within a framework of modernism and discourse of accessibility. In this chapter I consider the factors – both internal to the field of art music and those resulting from larger societal changes – that contributed to this artistic and ideological shift. Partly I am concerned with the politics of the field itself: the struggle for power within a highly contested cultural space. More broadly I am interested in the position of the field relative to changes in society at the macro level, in terms of race, class, and economic imperatives. A central question is, to what extent did the restructuring of the field in response to these changed imperatives affect the aesthetic choices of composers? The autonomy of art music during apartheid was challenged by the politicization of the field during the 1980s. The extent and rapidity of social and institutional change, and the new self-consciousness that it evoked in composers previously only concerned with “production for producers” (Bourdieu 1993:15), resulted in a crisis that foreshadowed an aesthetic revolution, or change of paradigm. In this chapter I present the theoretical basis for this claim and explain some of the historical reasons for its emergence.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Millennial Passions: New Music and the Ends of History, 1989-2001 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Stephany Andrea Moore 2016 © Copyright by Stephany Andrea Moore 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Millennial Passions: New Music and the Ends of History, 1989-2001 by Stephany Andrea Moore Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Robert W. Fink, Chair This dissertation examines a group of four musical Passion settings, commissioned by the International Bachakademie Stuttgart to mark the 250th anniversary of J.S. Bach’s death in 2000. The terms of the commission, titled “Passion 2000,” called for each composer to choose one of the canonic Gospels and write a setting in his or her own language. They were Wolfgang Rihm, German; Sofia Gubaidulina, Russian; Osvaldo Golijov, Spanish; and Tan Dun, English. I consider these four Passions against the backdrop of two historical turning points: the end of the Cold War and the turn of the millennium. I look at the impact of these turns on the production and reception of new music, considering tensions between the rapid globalization of the post-Cold War period and the simultaneous struggles to renegotiate the terms of local or regional identities. Accordingly, I address issues of nationalism and postnationalism, globalization, and multiculturalism, while also situating the Passions within music-historical lineages and networks of influence. While the end of the Cold War put ideas about the “end of history” into wide circulation, the approach of the millennium also carried eschatological ii implications, as well as hopes for global, historical redemption from the brutalities of the twentieth century.

    Post-Ironic Sounds: Wallacian New Sincerity in “Unavoidably Sentimental” for Large Ensemble Yair Klartag Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Yair Klartag All rights reserved ABSTRACT Post-Ironic Sounds: Wallacian New Sincerity in “Unavoidably Sentimental” for Large Ensemble Yair Klartag This essay presents a conceptual analysis of my piece Unavoidably Sentimental for Large Ensemble. Specifically, the paper traces the roots of the musical thinking in the piece to a notion of Sincerity that emerges from David Foster Wallace’s books and essays. The term New Sincerity, coined by Adam Kelly, is deployed to consider what a post-postmodern Sincerity could sound like in contemporary music. The paper provides general background to the literary discourse around the concept of New Sincerity as an extension of Lionel Trilling’s formalization of Sincerity and Authenticity. It suggests some examples of how a renewed sense of Sincerity could incarnate in contemporary music. As a background for the analysis of Unavoidably Sentimental itself, the paper provides background to my prior engagement with concepts like irony and authenticity in music. Unavoidably Sentimental is analyzed as a linear process, in which the piece tries to emerge out of a net of self-aware referential musical objects into the creation of sonic states of unmediated human communication between the musicians and the audience. I present different musical strategies in which the piece confronts the limitations of human communication through music, contextualized with reference to the portrayal of communication in Wallace’s writings.

  • La Obra Musical De David Del Puerto, Una Postura Estética De La Postvanguardia 1
    La obra musical de David del Puerto, una postura estética de la postvanguardia 1 David del Puerto’s musical work, an aesthetic attitude from post-avantgarde EDUARDO SOUTULLO GARCÍA Prólogo La bibliografía musical original no es algo que abunde entre nosotros. Me pare - ce ocioso preguntarse el por qué: quienes pertenecen al gremio lo saben y los que no, no se suelen interesar por el tema, al que consideran “elitista” (una manera cómoda de arrinconarlo). La aparición de este libro de Eduardo Soutullo sobre David del Puerto es, pues, una bienvenida, agradecida sorpresa. Y más cuando la presentación de la materia estrictamente musical se hace hablando en términos musicales, con rigor y claridad. Sí, ya sé: los músicos –como tantos otros especialistas– “tenemos una jerga que no hay quien entienda”. Bueno: una vez rendido el homenaje inevitable al lugar común, ya va siendo hora de perderle el miedo al supuesto “monstruo” que, con un poco de buena voluntad y algo de atención, no es tal. Por lo demás, el autor no abusa de él. El libro es imprescindible para el melómano por varias razones. La primera, obvia, por ocuparse seria y eficazmente de una figura clave en la música española de ahora mismo. La segunda porque, hablando de David del Puerto, se hace un retrato de la vida musical española de su tiempo: la enseñanza, los conciertos, la forma y las luchas por incorporarse a la cultura española y extranjera de un músico como David, portavoz –junto a un generoso número de colegas “grandes”– de una continuidad de la composición musical española inexistente desde hace siglos (y 1 Este artículo ha sido registrado en el Registro de la Propiedad Intelectual del Ministerio de Cultura.
