  • Messiaen's Influence on Post-War Serialism Thesis
    3779 N8! RI. oIo MESSIAEN'S INFLUENCE ON POST-WAR SERIALISM THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC by Thomas R. Muncy, B.A. Denton, Texas August, 1984 Muncy, Thomas R., Messiaen's Influence on Post-'gar Serialism. Master of Music (Theory), August, 1984, 106 pp., 76 examples, biblio- graphy, 44 titles. The objective of this paper is to show how Olivier Messiaen's Mode de valeurs et d'intensites influenced the development of post- war serialism. Written at Darmstadt in 1949, Mode de valeurs is considered the first European work to organize systematically all the major musical parameters: pitch, duration, dynamics, articulation, and register. This work was a natural step in Messiaen's growth toward complete or nearly complete systemization of musical parameters, which he had begun working towards in earlier works such as Vingt regards sur 1'Enfant-Jesus (1944), Turangalila-symphonie (1946-8), and Cantyodjaya (1949), and which he continued to experiment with in later works such as Ile de Feu II (1951) and Livre d'orgue (1951). The degree of systematic control that Messiaen successfully applied to each of the musical parameters influenced two of the most prominent post-war serial composers, Pierre Boulez and Karlheinz Stockhausen, to further develop systematic procedures in their own works. This paper demonstrates the degree to which both Boulez' Structures Ia (1951) and Stockhausen's Kreuzspiel (1951) used Mode de valeurs as a model for the systematic organization of musical parameters.

    GÖTEBORG INTERNATIONAL ORGAN FESTIVAL October 11-20, 2019 The Organ as a Mechanical Musical Marvel A tribute to Sven-Eric Johanson (1919-1997) CONCERTS FOR EVERYONE Göteborg Baroque´s Claviorganum Early music | Workshops | New music Conferences | The Pop Up Museum The Organ as Cultural Heritage A New Concert Hall Organ The Youth Organ Festival Live Streaming ORGEL-TV A World of Tactile Passion and New Sounds CELEBRATING 25YEARS CELEBRATING 25 YEARS We welcome you to the 2019 Göteborg International Organ Festival! The main theme of the festival is “The Organ as a Mechanical Musical Marvel”. The organ is the biggest musical instrument of all, enclosed in an organ case, a “body” with its own architecture and a mechanical “nervous system”, through which the organist gives impulses that make the instrument sound. From the bellows, the organ’s lungs, air streams through wind channels to be stored in windchests and then led further up to the sounding parts, the pipes, which are constructed in various ways and made of different wooden and metal materials, in order to produce as varied sounds as possible. The organ pipes are grouped in ranks or stops similar to the instruments of an orchestra: singing principals, soft-toned flutes, colorful shawms, trumpets and trombones, in addition to brilliant mixtures; all of them contributing to the organ’s unique timbral and dynamic scope, with sounds ranging from poetic and ethereal to fanfare-like and powerful. During the first weekend, the focal point of the festival is early music and the experimental mechanical world of organs and related keyboard instruments, epitomized in Göteborg Baroque’s unique claviorganum, inaugurated in February 2019, and funded by the Stena Foundation.

  • Ana Rebrina Relation of Structure, Form and Perception in Post-Tonal
    Ana Rebrina Relation of Structure, Form and Perception in Post-Tonal Music Analysis of Compositions by Pierre Boulez, Jean Barraqué, Karel Goeyvaerts and Michel Fano Exposé for a Doctoral Dissertation Department of Historical Musicology, Music Theory and Church Music Studies Kunstuniversität Graz February 2019 Abstract This research explores the relation between the score, performance, and perception of post- tonal music. The focus is on performer’s actions and on perceptual consequences of these actions for the listener. The corpus of the study includes compositions associated with the Darmstadt Summer Course, all composed at a similar time and in comparable circumstances: three piano sonatas by Pierre Boulez, Piano Sonata by Jean Barraqué, Sonata for Two Pianos by Karel Goeyvaerts and Sonata for Two Pianos by Michel Fano. Since the serial organization of material is hardly manifested in sound realization in these complex post-tonal compositions, surface details are important for the perception. One of the objectives of this research is to determine auditory detectable details of musical surface and compare them in different performances. Since post-tonal music is often presented as inaccessible, speaking to only a narrow circle of listeners, the aim is to find possible approaches to comprehensive listening of post-tonal music through the perception of auditory details and their connection with formal sections. In addition, the aim is to discover whether performance analysis can assist music pedagogy in the deeper understanding of post-tonal music. For this purpose, the selected repertoire will be analyzed on several levels: traditional analysis of material organization and serial procedures based on sketches and pre-existing studies, historical background of compositions and recordings, structural analysis and performance analysis based on a comparison of selected parameters in different recordings, morphosyntactic analysis as an attempt to capture the details on the musical surface.

  • Editing Method for the Bulletin of the Transilvania
    Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov Series VIII: Performing Arts • Vol. 13 (62) No. 1 – 2020 https://doi.org/10.31926/but.pa.2020.13.62.1.20 Electronics in Music: Preliminary Stages Roman VLAD1 Abstract: With a first recorded appearance dating around the 1950s, electronic music – the fruit of rigorous and tenacious labour by acoustician-researchers and composers who tried and succeeded in imposing a new sound-universe – channelled the evolution of the art of sounds as nothing before it. Prominent composers of the orientation – Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry, Edgar Varèse, Herbert Eimert, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Vladimir Ussachevsky, Luigi Nono – had a determinant role in the way music expanded. The literature mentions as early as the beginning of the 20th century the existence of creators with a true calling for identifying original solutions to permanently transform music, breaking its barriers and thus allowing it to develop, expression-wise, in a variety of directions. Key-words: electronic music, Ondes Martenot, electronic instruments, composers 1. The Search for new Timbres Francis Bacon (1561-1626) anticipated in his 1624 New Atlantis the existence of sounds with new timbres and their transmission via “tubes” over a distance, as well as Jean-Baptiste Delaborde (1730-1777), the inventor of the clavecin électrique (1761) and of many musical devices functioning on the basis of springs, weights, pneumatic pressure etc., such as the panharmonicon, a mechanical orchestra for which Beethoven would write his 1813 Wellington’s Victory (Schwartz 1993, 107). Electricity and sound once connected, that is, Graham Bell inventing the telephone and Thomas Edison, the phonograph, the literature mentions a series of appliances designed to transmit, record, and reproduce sound material on the spot or at a later time.

This dissertation examines the writings and music of five notable composers from this era, and reconstructs the philosophical discourses that implicitly and explicitly provide the intellectual horizons for these temporal problems.
