The Cakewalk in Twentieth-Century French Concert Music Lindy Smith Bowling Green State University
Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Volume 1 | Issue 1 Article 6 Out of Africa: The Cakewalk in Twentieth-Century French Concert Music Lindy Smith Bowling Green State University Recommended Citation Smith, Lindy (2008) "Out of Africa: The Cakewalk in Twentieth-Century French Concert Music," Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology: Vol. 1: Iss. 1, Article 6. Out of Africa: The Cakewalk in Twentieth-Century French Concert Music Lindy Smith Year IV – Bowling Green State University, Ohio The term “cakewalk” has traditionally been used in a number of different contexts to embody different meanings. For instance, “cakewalk” may refer to a social event revolving around dance. The term is also used synonymously with “ragtime” to identify early jazz styles. An alternative definition refers to the syncopated short-long- short rhythm (in which the long is twice the duration of the short) found in early jazz, which forms the accompaniment for the cakewalk dance and is incorporated into a significant amount of French concert music from the early twentieth-century. In this paper, I will discuss the background and cultural significance of the cakewalk in several of its forms and definitions. I will look first at the evolution of the cakewalk in America and secondly at its development in France by three twentieth-century composers: Erik Satie, Darius Milhaud, and Claude Debussy. Milhaud uses the cakewalk to represent “primitive” cultures while Satie references current popular dance hall music and Debussy offers the cakewalk as an antithesis to the late 19 th -century Germanic tradition. Out of Africa: The Cakewalk in Twentieth-Century French Concert Music The cakewalk dance was first initiated by slaves on plantations in the southern United States. -
Claude Achille Debussy Bewitching in Music, Bastard in Love
finaldeb.doc 14,506 Claude Achille Debussy Bewitching in music, Bastard in Love Born: Saint-Germain-en-Laye (near Paris), 22 August 1862 Died aged 55: Paris, 25 March 1918 There is a woman at each crossroad of Debussy’s life. Certainly women of all ages seemed fascinated by him, and they attached themselves to him like ivy to a wall. [Marcel Dietschy: A Portrait of Claude Debussy] He was - it’s all in his music - a very sensual man. [Maggie Teyte, soloist in Pelléas et Mélisande, 1908] Claude has still not recovered from the nibbles of your dear little mouth. [Debussy to Lilly Texier, 24 April 1899] She knew what she wanted and had come prepared. When, in reply to her knock, Claude opened the door, he saw that she was nude under her fur coat. [from Pierre La Mure’s novel: Clair de Lune] Let’s not mince words. Where most of his many women were concerned Debussy was a bastard! After his death there was a roaring trade in grotesque wax effigies, demanded by screaming feminists, of this monster with the renowned bulging cranium and double-forehead. I made that up about the effigy, of course, though it’s true that Debussy’s double forehead was always his most distinguishing physical feature. Double forehead or not, Oliver Reed was certainly the right man to play Debussy in Ken Russell’s BBC Omnibus Classic documentary of 1963, The Debussy Film, scripted by Melvyn Bragg. Russell selected Reed after seeing him on Juke Box Jury and being stunned by his physical resemblance to the composer. -

Composed by Debussy in Paris in 1904 and published by Durand, this work lasts a duration of about ten minutes and features an orchestra with solo saxophone. 1 The piece was commissioned in 1903 by a wealthy Boston aristocrat/amateur saxophonist Mrs. Richard J. Hall, often referred to as Elise Hall. The Rapsodie was composed at the same time that Debussy was working on La Mer and when he was in a period of great distress in his own life. -

The following is a list of recorded recitals and concerts by the late maestro that are in my collection and all others I am aware of. It is mostly indebted to Alex Malow who has been very helpful in sharing with me his extensive knowledge of recorded material and his website for video items at http://www.therichteracolyte.org/ contain more detailed information than this list.. I also hope for this list to get more accurate and complete as I hear from other collectors of one of the greatest pianists of our era. Since a discography by Paul Geffen http://www.trovar.com/str/ is already available on the net for multiple commercial issues of the same performances, I have only listed for all such cases one format of issue of the best versions of what I happened to have or would be happy to have. Thus the main aim of the list is towards items that have not been generally available along with their dates and locations.

Stylistic Influences and Musical Quotations in Claude Debussy's Children's Corner and La Boîte A
EVOCATIONS FROM CHILDHOOD: STYLISTIC INFLUENCES AND MUSICAL QUOTATIONS IN CLAUDE DEBUSSY’S CHILDREN’S CORNER AND LA BOÎTE À JOUJOUX Hsing-Yin Ko, M.B., M.M.

Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Ko, Hsing-Yin, Evocations from Childhood: Stylistic Influences and Musical Quotations in Claude Debussy’s Children’s Corner and La Boîte à Joujoux. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2011, 44 pp., 33 musical examples, bibliographies, 43 titles. Claude Debussy is considered one of the most influential figures of the late 19th century and early 20th centuries. Among the various works that he wrote for the piano, Children’s Corner and La Boîte à joujoux distinguish themselves as being evocative of childhood. However, compared to more substantial works like Pelléas et Mélisande or La Mer, his children’s piano music has been underrated and seldom performed. Children’s Corner and La Boîte à joujoux were influenced by a series of eclectic sources, including jazz, novel “views” from Russian composers, and traditional musical elements such as folk songs and Eastern music. The study examines several stylistic parallels found in these two pieces and is followed by a discussion of Debussy’s use of musical quotations and allusions, important elements used by the composer to achieve what could be dubbed as a unique “children’s wonderland.” Copyright 2011 by Hsing-Yin Ko ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES ............................................................................................... -

Its origins are complex and fascinating, combining influences from poetry, the music of the Baroque period from around to , and Impressionism, a style in music following on from that in visual arts.

La Cathédrale Engloutie from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
La cathédrale engloutie From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia La cathédrale engloutie (The Sunken Cathedral) is a prelude written by the French composer Claude Debussy for solo piano. It was published in 1910 as the tenth prelude in Debussy’s first of two volumes of twelve piano preludes each. It is characteristic of Debussy in its form, harmony, and content. The "organ chords" feature parallel harmony. Contents 1 Musical impressionism 2 Legend of Ys 3 Musical analysis 3.1 Form 3.2 Thematic/motivic structure 3.3 Context 3.4 Parallelism 4 Secondary Parameters 5 Arrangements 6 Notes 7 External links Musical impressionism This prelude is an example of Debussy's musical impressionism in that it is a musical depiction, or allusion, of an image or idea. Debussy quite often named his pieces with the exact image that he was composing about, like La Mer, Des pas sur la neige, or Jardins sous la pluie. In the case of the two volumes of preludes, he places the title of the piece at the end of the piece, either to allow the pianist to respond intuitively and individually to the music before finding out what Debussy intended the music to sound like, or to apply more ambiguity to the music's allusion. [1] Because this piece is based on a legend, it can be considered program music. Legend of Ys This piece is based on an ancient Breton myth in which a cathedral, submerged underwater off the coast of the Island of Ys, rises up from the sea on clear mornings when the water is transparent. -
