  • Le Montreux Jazz Festival Présente Le Dispositif De Sa 55E Édition Conforme Aux Contraintes De La Pandémie
    Montreux, le 28 juin 2021 COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE Le Montreux Jazz Festival présente le dispositif de sa 55e édition conforme aux contraintes de la pandémie Les organisateurs proposent une 55e édition du Montreux Jazz Festival adaptée à la situation en lien avec l’épidémie de COVID-19. Il s’agit d’une édition largement réduite, sans animation hors périmètre, et avec un plan de protection sanitaire validé par l’Etat-major cantonal de conduite. Le Chef d’Etat-major cantonal a donné l’autorisation au MJF 2021 de se dérouler conformément au cadre légal en vigueur. La situation sanitaire étant en Suisse et dans le canton de Vaud totalement sous contrôle et la vacci- nation avancée, la première grande manifestation se déroulant sur territoire vaudois peut être autorisée. Si le res- pect strict des règles sanitaires mises en œuvre par les organisateurs permet de limiter les risques, il est important de continuer à faire appel à la responsabilité individuelle en appliquant les gestes barrières. Le plan de protection sanitaire du MJF a été élaboré selon l’Ordonnance sur les mesures destinées à lutter contre l’épidémie du Covid-19 en situation particulière, du 23 juin 2021 et selon l’étape d’assouplissement V, entrée en vigueur le 26 juin 2021. Il se base également sur le Plan de protection édité par l’EMCC applicable dans le cadre de l’organisation de grandes manifestations dès le 26 juin 2021. La stratégie générale du MJF repose sur la définition de zones réduites en capacité (capacité totale du site de 1’470 cette année, versus les 15’000 personnes par jour durant une édition en situation normale), et sur la maîtrise de chaque périmètre en termes de capacité et de traçabilité du public (découpage hermétique en secteurs, ver- sus un site complètement ouvert pour l’offre gratuite durant une édition en situation normale).

I am fortunate enough have a background and live in a place where my voice can be heard without much opposition, but this thesis could not have been completed without the immeasurable support I received from a variety of individuals and groups. First, I must extend my utmost gratitude to my primary advisor, Dr. David Brodbeck. I did not think that I would be able to find a humanities faculty member so in tune with both history and music, but to my great surprise and delight, I found the perfect advisor for my project.

  • Kayhan Kalhor/Erdal Erzincan the Wind
    ECM Kayhan Kalhor/Erdal Erzincan The Wind Kayhan Kalhor: kamancheh; Erdal Erzincan: baglama; Ulaş Özdemir: divan baglama ECM 1981 CD 6024 985 6354 (0) Release: September 26, 2006 After “The Rain”, his Grammy-nominated album with the group Ghazal, comes “The Wind”, a documentation of Kayhan Kalhor’s first encounter with Erdal Erzincan. It presents gripping music, airborne music indeed, pervasive, penetrating, propelled into new spaces by the relentless, searching energies of its protagonists. Yet it is also music firmly anchored in the folk and classical traditions of Persia and Turkey. Iranian kamancheh virtuoso Kalhor does not undertake his transcultural projects lightly. Ghazal, the Persian-Indian ‘synthesis’ group which he initiated with sitarist Shujaat Husain Khan followed some fifteen years of dialogue with North Indian musicians, in search of the right partner. “Because I come from a musical background which is widely based on improvisation, I really like to explore this element with players from different yet related traditions, to see what we can discover together. I’m testing the water – putting one foot to the left, so to speak, in Turkey. And one foot to the right, in India. I’m between them. Geographically, physically, musically. And I’m trying to understand our differences. What is the difference between Shujaat and Erdal? Which is the bigger gap? And where will this lead?” Kayhan began his association with Turkish baglama master Erdal Erzincan by making several research trips, in consecutive years, to Istanbul, collecting material, looking for pieces that he and Erdal might play together. He was accompanied on his journeys by musicologist/player Ulaş Özdemir who also served as translator and eventually took a supporting role in the Kalhor/Erzincan collaboration.

    Teacher Notes on Russian Music and Composers x Prokofiev gave up his popularity and wrote music to please Stalin. He wrote music to please the government. x Stravinsky is known as the great inventor of Russian music. x The 19th century was a time of great musical achievement in Russia. This was the time period in which “The Five” became known. They were: Rimsky-Korsakov (most influential, 1844-1908) Borodin Mussorgsky Cui Balakirev x Tchaikovsky (1840-’93) was not know as one of “The Five”. x Near the end of the Stalinist Period Prokofiev and Shostakovich produced music so peasants could listen to it as they worked. x During the 17th century, Russian music consisted of sacred vocal music or folk type songs. x Peter the Great liked military music (such as the drums). He liked trumpet music, church bells and simple Polish music. He did not like French or Italian music. Nor did Peter the Great like opera. Notes Compiled by Carol Mohrlock 90 Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky (1882-1971) I gor Stravinsky was born on June 17, 1882, in Oranienbaum, near St. Petersburg, Russia, he died on April 6, 1971, in New York City H e was Russian-born composer particularly renowned for such ballet scores as The Firebird (performed 1910), Petrushka (1911), The Rite of Spring (1913), and Orpheus (1947).

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.
