    OLTRENOTA LA FONDAZIONE INFORMA Fondazione Petruzzelli: presentata la Stagione d’Opera Balletto e Sinfonica 2013 Sarà l’Otello di Giuseppe Verdi, per la regia di Eimuntas Nekrosius e la direzione di Keri-Lynn Wilson, ad inaugurare, il 19 gennaio prossimo, la Stagione 2013 del Teatro Petruzzelli di Bari. La fondazione lirico sinfonica pugliese ha presentato oggi la sua prima stagione integralmente curata del Commissario Straordinario Carlo Fuortes, in carica dal mese di marzo 2012. Presenti anche l’assessore al Mediterraneo della Regione Puglia, Silvia Godelli ed il vice presidente della Provincia di Bari, Nuccio Altieri. Un cartellone ricco di appuntamenti, che nasce dall’incontro fra rispetto della tradizione e grande attenzione allo scambio culturale, nel segno dell’innovazione e del dialogo con realtà consolidate del panorama nazionale ed internazionale. “L’impegno preso nei confronti della città di Bari – ha sottolineato il Prof. Carlo Fuortes – è per noi in primo luogo quello di fare del Petruzzelli un Teatro a misura del proprio pubblico, che ne rispetti le esigenze, le aspirazioni, la passione. Il nostro primo auspicio è riuscire ad accogliere una platea sempre più ampia e di tutte le età, anche grazie ad un incremento delle proposte e delle recite in cartellone: nel 2013 la crescita della nostra produttività sarà pari circa al 50 per cento in più, rispetto agli ultimi anni”. Sei titoli d’opera (di cui cinque nuovi allestimenti), due dedicati alla grande danza, una rassegna di incontri alla scoperta del melodramma e ben dodici appuntamenti sinfonici. Fra i protagonisti della prossima annata del Politeama spiccheranno la nuova formazione orchestrale e corale del Teatro, risultato delle prime selezioni concorsuali realizzate da Fuortes e fortemente volute dal Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, nell’ottica di un primo passo verso la stabilizzazione delle masse artistiche.

  • Sardinian Composers of Contemporary Music
    Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology 12,2012 © PTPN & Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, Poznań 2012 CONSUELO GIGLIO Music Conservatory, Trapani Sardinian composers of contemporary music ABSTRACT: The meeting point between the school headed by Franco Oppo and the rich traditional music of the island gave birth in Sardinia to an intense flowering in the field of New Music, with a strong feeling of belonging and a constant call for a positive concept of identity. Thus, since the time of Oppo (1935) and his contemporary Vittorio Montis, we come across many composers that differ between each other but are almost always recognizably “Sardinian”. Oppo has been one of the most interesting figures on the international scene during the last few decades. After his studies in Rome, Venice and Poland in the early 1960s, he remained, by his own choice, in his home territory, sharing his “Sardinian-ness” in a free and dialectic manner with the avant-garde. After formulating his own particular aleatory approach, Oppo reached a turning point halfway through the 1970s: in Musica per chitarra e quartetto d’archi, Praxodia and, finally, in Anninnia I, the meeting point between avant-garde research and the special phonic quality of tra­ ditional music became more and more close-knit and organic, at the same time also acting on the founding language structure whilst still remaining under the control of incisive and informed dis­ ciplines (during the same period, moreover, he put forward new methodologies of analysis which were also necessary for his teaching). In this sense the most important works are chamber pieces like Anninnia I and II (1978, 1982), Attitidu (1983) and Sagra (1985), the theatrical work Eleonora d’Arborea (1986), some piano “transcriptions” - the Three berceuses (1982), Gallurese and Baroniese (1989; 1993) - Trio III (1994), Sonata B for percussion and piano (2005) and the two Concerts for piano and orchestra (1995-97; 2002).

    « Leopold Godowsky’s Fifty-Three Studies on Chopin’s Études » by « Younggun Kim » A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of « Doctor of Musical Arts » « Graduate Department of Music » University of Toronto © Copyright by « Younggun Kim » « 2017 » Leopold Godowsky’s Fifty-Three Studies on Chopin’s Études Younggun Kim Doctor of Musical Arts Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Leopold Godowsky (1870-1937) composed works that require pianistic fluency of an exceptional order, including fifty-three Studies based on twenty-six of Frédéric Chopin’s twenty-seven Études. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the significance of these Studies and to reveal the compositional techniques that Godowsky used to create them. This dissertation consists of a foreword and seven chapters. The foreword describes the unique position that Godowsky’s Studies occupy in the piano literature and argues that they deserve further scholarly research. Chapter one discusses Godowsky’s life and the composition of the Studies, and it provides a review of relevant literature. Chapter two is divided into ii two sections. The first section proposes five compositional techniques that are used to create the Studies: switch, condensation, superimposition/addition, reconstruction and merging. The second section examines Godowsky’s classification of the Studies into five categories: Strict Transcriptions, Free Transcriptions, Cantus Firmus Versions, Versions in Form of Variations and Metamorphoses. Chapters three, four and five are case studies of selected Studies, arranged by the compositional techniques presented in Chapter two. Chapter three deals with Studies that are composed using switch, superimposition/addition and merging technique.

    559322bk HuangRuo:559317 bk Schuman 18/12/06 3:38 PM Page 4 Huang Ruo MERICAN LASSICS Chinese-American composer Huang Ruo was born in Hainan Island, China in 1976, the year the Chinese A C Revolution ended. Growing up in the ’80s and ’90s, when China was steadily opening up its gate to the Western world, Huang Ruo received both traditional and western education in the Shanghai Conservatory of Music at age twelve. Witnessing the dramatic cultural and economic changes in China, his education ranged from Bach, Mozart, Stravinsky, Lutosławski, to Beatles, rock n’ roll, heavy metal, and jazz, all of which were allowed to enter cultural life in China approximately the same time after the culture revolution. All these ‘new’ western influences enable HUANG RUO him to absorb them without any hierarchy and limitation of styles. Huang Ruo moved to the United States in 1995. (b. 1976) He earned a B.M. degree from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and a M.M. degree from the Juilliard School, where he is now pursuing his D.M.A. degree and studies with Samuel Adler. Hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “strikingly assured”, Huang’s music has been performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra under Wolfgang Sawallisch, Chamber Concerto Cycle the Juilliard Symphony under James Conlon, the American Composers Orchestra under Dennis Russell Davies, the ASKO Ensemble, the Nieuw Ensemble, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, as well as by violinist (2000–2002) Cho-Liang Lin and cellist Jian Wang. He has also collaborated with the New York City Ballet and choreographers Damian Woetzel and Christopher Wheeldon.

Tonight’s Boston Modern Orchestra Project concert makes no pretense of presenting anything like an overview or cross-section or any other all-embracing idea of what “Chinese music” might mean, but the program shows, in its diversity, some of the many possible ways Chinese music has affected four very different composers from the same generation. Among the three composers of Chinese heritage, three different native languages are represented: Lei Liang and Huang Ruo were both born in the People’s Republic of China, Liang on the mainland near Beijing (where Mandarin is dominant) and Huang Ruo on the southern, Hainanese-speaking island of Hainan.
