Invenzione Festival Berio
INVENZIONE FESTIVAL BERIO Du 2 au 20 décembre 2013 www.cnsmd-lyon.fr , Paris DES SIGNES DES : conception graphique conception Invenzione festival Berio du 2 au 20 décembre 2013 La musique n’est pas pressée : elle vit dans notre culture, le temps des arbres et des forêts, de la mer et des grandes villes. Luciano Berio Luciano Berio (1925-2003) Luciano Berio a marqué pour toujours la musique de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Son œuvre, sans frontières et d’une incroyable diversité, a mis à profit toutes les techniques, du sérialisme à l’électroacoustique. L’homme ne s’est laissé enfermer dans aucun clan, parti pris théorique ou gratuité abstraite. Son intelligence prend appui sur la vie, un esprit d’invention et une imagination généreuse. Il réinventa les continuités en gardant une curiosité insatiable pour les expériences exploratoires. Ses dialogues avec littérature, linguistique, anthropologie ou ethnomusicologie ont nourri son inventivité et c’est en tant que compositeur qu’il s’est approprié les matières qui le fascinaient afin d’en extraire des effets parfois fort éloignés de leur contexte d’origine. Berio a aussi sondé des domaines originaux et longtemps oubliés de notre culture occidentale, en particulier celui de la voix féminine qui a pris de plus en plus de place dans ses œuvres ; le chant impliquant un texte, Berio a collaboré avec des poètes tels que Sanguineti. Passionné par le potentiel des timbres instrumentaux, il a écrit une vaste série de pièces pour instruments solo, les fameuses Sequenza, puis s’est attaché dès les années 60 à explorer les plus improbables combinaisons de timbres. -
Vocality and Listening in Three Operas by Luciano Berio
Clare Brady Royal Holloway, University of London The Open Voice: Vocality and Listening in three operas by Luciano Berio Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music February 2017 The Open Voice | 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Patricia Mary Clare Brady, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: February 1st 2017 The Open Voice | 2 Abstract The human voice has undergone a seismic reappraisal in recent years, within musicology, and across disciplinary boundaries in the humanities, arts and sciences; ‘voice studies’ offers a vast and proliferating array of seemingly divergent accounts of the voice and its capacities, qualities and functions, in short, of what the voice is. In this thesis, I propose a model of the ‘open voice’, after the aesthetic theories of Umberto Eco’s seminal book ‘The Open Work’ of 1962, as a conceptual framework in which to make an account of the voice’s inherent multivalency and resistance to a singular reductive definition, and to propose the voice as a site of encounter and meaning construction between vocalist and receiver. Taking the concept of the ‘open voice’ as a starting point, I examine how the human voice is staged in three vocal works by composer Luciano Berio, and how the voice is diffracted through the musical structures of these works to display a multitude of different, and at times paradoxical forms and functions. In Passaggio (1963) I trace how the open voice invokes the hegemonic voice of a civic or political mass in counterpoint with the particularity and frailty of a sounding individual human body. -

Review of Berio's Sequenzas
1 JMM – The Journal of Music and Meaning, vol.7, Winter 2009. © JMM 7.7. http://www.musicandmeaning.net/issues/showArticle.php?artID=7.7 Halfyard, Janet, ed., Berio’s Sequenzas: Essays on Performance, Composition and Analysis (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2007). (Reviewed by Emma Gallon) 1 Berio’s Sequenzas (1958-2002) Although Berio has verified that the title Sequenza refers to the sequence of harmonic fields established by each of the series‟ fourteen works for a different solo instrument, the pieces are also united “by particular compositional aims and preoccupations – virtuosity, polyphony, the exploration of a specific instrumental idiom – applied to a series of different instruments”. (Janet Halfyard, “Forward” in Halfyard 2007: p.xx) These compositional aims in their various manifestations are explored in all of the essays in this book without exception, and both Berio‟s understanding of the terms, their relation to the pieces‟ signification and their implications for the receiver, be it performer, listener or analyst will be discussed below. Further details on Berio’s Sequenzas can be found on the Ashgate website at http://www.ashgate.com. The introduction to the book by the late David Osmond-Smith, leading authority on Berio and key in establishing Berio‟s reputation in Britain, focuses on the simultaneous musical commentary that the parallel Chemins series provides as the text of the Sequenza unfolds, and contrasts it with the difficult and almost prosaic retrospective commentaries that the musicologists in this book must undertake verbally in order to unweave the complex polyphonic strands of past echoes and present formations that Berio knots together. -

Visit term and condition on sciami.com Number of pages || pag 1 di 1 Language|| ENG DOI || Luciano Berio - biographical notes by Daniele Vergni Luciano Berio (Oneglia, Imperia, October 24, 1925 – Rome, May 27, 2003), composer and conductor, has been a pioneer in composing for electronic and electro-acoustic music. He had first approached music in his own family, then studied at the Conservatory “Giuseppe Verdi” in Milan, attending the department of composition with Giulio Cesare Paribeni and Giorgio Federico Ghedini, and that of conducting with Carlo Maria Giulini and Antonio Votto. The first public performance of a piece by him (suite for piano) took place in 1947. In 1951 he studied with Luigi Dallapiccola in Tanglewood, United States; in 1954 he attended the summer courses in Darmstadt, joining the musical avant-garde of those years – Pierre Boulez, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Bruno Maderna, Luigi Nono, György Ligeti, Mauricio Kagel and others. Berio took such a great interest in electronic music that the following year, in Milan, with Bruno Maderna, he founded the Studio di Fonologia della RAI, for the production of electronic music, where also foreign composers such as John Cage recorded and composed. In 1956 he founded the periodical Incontri Musicali of which four issues were published between ’56 and 1960. In the sixties he was back in the United States and he was appointed a professorship first at Mills College in Oakland, California, then in 1956 at Juillard School in New York, where he created the Juillard Ensemble, a group devoted to the execution of contemporary music. -
Luciano Berio's Sequenza V Analyzed Along the Lines of Four Analytical
Peer-Reviewed Paper JMM: The Journal of Music and Meaning, vol.9, Winter 2010 Luciano Berio’s Sequenza V analyzed along the lines of four analytical dimensions proposed by the composer Niels Chr. Hansen, Royal Academy of Music Aarhus, Denmark and Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK Abstract In this paper, Luciano Berio’s ‘Sequenza V’ for solo trombone is analyzed along the lines of four analytical dimensions proposed by the composer himself in an interview from 1980. It is argued that the piece in general can be interpreted as an exploration of the ‘morphological’ dimension involving transformation of the traditional image of the trombone as an instrument as well as of the performance context. The first kind of transformation is revealed by simultaneous singing and playing, continuous sounds and considerable use of polyphony, indiscrete pitches, plunger, flutter-tongue technique, and unidiomatic register, whereas the latter manifests itself in extra-musical elements of theatricality, especially with reference to clown acting. Such elements are evident from performance notes and notational practice, and they originate from biographical facts related to the compositional process and to Berio’s sources of inspiration. Key topics such as polyphony, amalgamation of voice and instrument, virtuosity, theatricality, and humor – of which some have been recognized as common to the Sequenza series in general – are explained in the context of the analytical model. As a final point, a revised version of the four-dimensional model is presented in which tension-inducing characteristics in the ‘pitch’, ‘temporal’ and ‘dynamic’ dimensions are grouped into ‘local’ and ‘global’ components to avoid tension conflicts within dimensions. -
El Lenguaje Musical De Luciano Berio Por Juan María Solare
El lenguaje musical de Luciano Berio por Juan María Solare ( [email protected] ) El compositor italiano Luciano Berio (nacido en Oneglia el 24 de octubre de 1925, muerto en Roma el 27 de mayo del 2003) es uno de los más imaginativos exponentes de su generación. Durante los años '50 y '60 fue uno de los máximos representantes de la vanguardia oficial europea, junto a su compatriota Luigi Nono, al alemán Karlheinz Stockhausen y al francés Pierre Boulez. Si lograron sobresalir es porque por encima de su necesidad de novedad siempre estuvo la fuerza expresiva. Gran parte de las obras de Berio ha surgido de una concepción estructuralista de la música, entendida como un lenguaje de gestos sonoros; es decir, de gestos cuyo material es el sonido. (Con "estructuralismo" me refiero aquí a una actitud intelectual que desconfía de aquellos resultados artísticos que no estén respaldados por una estructura justificable en términos de algún sistema.) Los intereses artísticos de Berio se concentran en seis campos de atención: diversas lingüísticas, los medios electroacústicos, la voz humana, el virtuosismo solista, cierta crítica social y la adaptación de obras ajenas. Debido a su interés en la lingüística, Berio ha examinado musicalmente diversos tipos de lenguaje: 1) Lenguajes verbales (como el italiano, el español o el inglés), en varias de sus numerosas obras vocales; 2) Lenguajes de la comunicación no verbal, en obras para solistas (ya sean cantantes, instrumentistas, actores o mimos); 3) Lenguajes musicales históricos, como -por ejemplo- el género tradicional del Concierto, típico del siglo XIX; 4) Lenguajes de las convenciones y rituales del teatro; 5) Lenguajes de sus propias obras anteriores: la "Sequenza VI" para viola sola (por ejemplo) fue tomada por Berio tal cual, le agregó un pequeño grupo de cámara, y así surgió "Chemins II". -

Live and Interactive Electronic Vocal Compositions: Trends and Techniques for the Art of Performance
Live and Interactive Electronic Vocal Compositions: Trends and Techniques for the Art of Performance • Julieanne Klein F acuIty of Music McGill University, Montreal January 2007 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Music. r © Julieanne Klein 2007 • Abstract This thesis deals with technological, compositional and performance-practice aspects of computer-based live and interactive electronic vocal music. Live performance-based electronic music indicates a composition by which the vocal, instrumental and/or electronic sounds are processed in real time. By surveying historical developments, technological advances, aesthetics, and important figures, this document intends to assist singers in gaining a global perspective of the field in hopes of facilitating interest in the performing and commissioning of live electronic vocal compositions. An important element of this thesis is an annotated appendix of computer-based live and interactive electronic vocal music detailing instrumentation, technical requirements, texts, performance notes and publisher contact information. In order to assist in the study and performance of these works, relevant performance issues are explored, and a methodology and step-by-step checklist for learning contemporary and electronic vocal music is included. An analysis of three vocal works in this genre is presented: En Écho by Philippe Manoury, Erba nera che cresci segno nero tu l!il!i by Mauro Lanza, and a new work commissioned especially for this study, Avant la lawe by David Adamcyk. Cette thèse traite des aspects technologiques et compositionnels ainsi que de l'interprétation d'oeuvres pour voix et traitement électronique interactif en temps réel. -
