Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Programs, Season 88, 1968-1969 EIGHTY-EIGHTH SEASON 1968-1969 ^^Sfea, Exquisite Sound From the palaces of ancient Egypt to the concert halls of our modern cities, the wondrous music of the harp has compelled attention from all peoples and all countries. Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment. The certainty of change makes necessary a continuous review of your insurance protection. We welcome the opportunity of providing this service for your business or personal needs.

  • Middleground Structure in the Cadenza to Boulez's Éclat
    Middleground Structure in the Cadenza to Boulez’s Éclat C. Catherine Losada NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hp://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.19.25.1/mto.19.25.1.losada.php KEYWORDS: Boulez, Éclat, multiplication, middleground, transformational theory ABSTRACT: Through a transformational analysis of Boulez’s Éclat, this article extends previous understanding of Boulez’s compositional techniques by addressing issues of middleground structure and perception. Presenting a new perspective on this pivotal work, it also sheds light on the development of Boulez’s compositional style. Volume 25, Number 1, May 2019 Copyright © 2019 Society for Music Theory [1] Incorporating both elements of performer’s choice (mainly for the conductor) and an approach to temporality that subverts traditional notions of continuity by invoking the importance of the “moment,”(1) Boulez’s Éclat (1965) is a landmark work from the mid-1960s. It stems from a pivotal period within Boulez’s compositional career, following a time of intense application of novel serial techniques in works that cemented his reputation as a major figure of European modernism (such as Pli selon pli (1957–1962) and the Troisième Sonate (1955–63),(2) but preceding the marked simplification of the musical language that followed Rituel (1974).(3) Piencikowski (1993) has discussed the reliance of much of the central section of Éclat on material from the first version of Don (1960) which in turn is derived from the flute piece Strophes (1957) and from Orestie (1955), and has also thoroughly explained the pitch content of that central section.(4) The material from the framing cadenzas of Éclat, however, has received lile scholarly aention in published form, although Olivier Meston (2001) provides a description of abstract serial processes that could explain the pitch content.(5) One of Meston’s main claims is that the serial processes he presents are not perceptible (10, 16).

  • Published Mark Schemes for GCE A2 Music January 2010
    Published Mark Schemes for GCE A2 Music January 2010 Issued: April 2010 NORTHERN IRELAND GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF SECONDARY EDUCATION (GCSE) AND NORTHERN IRELAND GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION (GCE) MARK SCHEMES (2010) Foreword Introduction Mark Schemes are published to assist teachers and students in their preparation for examinations. Through the mark schemes teachers and students will be able to see what examiners are looking for in response to questions and exactly where the marks have been awarded. The publishing of the mark schemes may help to show that examiners are not concerned about finding out what a student does not know but rather with rewarding students for what they do know. The Purpose of Mark Schemes Examination papers are set and revised by teams of examiners and revisers appointed by the Council. The teams of examiners and revisers include experienced teachers who are familiar with the level and standards expected of 16- and 18-year-old students in schools and colleges. The job of the examiners is to set the questions and the mark schemes; and the job of the revisers is to review the questions and mark schemes commenting on a large range of issues about which they must be satisfied before the question papers and mark schemes are finalised. The questions and the mark schemes are developed in association with each other so that the issues of differentiation and positive achievement can be addressed right from the start. Mark schemes therefore are regarded as a part of an integral process which begins with the setting of questions and ends with the marking of the examination.

  • A Roundtable Discussion with Pierre Boulez
    Poetry and Music: A Roundtable Discussion with Pierre Boulez Recorded by Paul Merrill. Transcribed by David Eadington, Uiura Leavitt, Leakthina Oilier, Amy Pitsker and Alicia Tolbert. In the fall of 1992, the French Department of UCLA was privileged to host a roundtable discussion on the complex relationship between poetry and music as experienced through the work of Pierre Boulez. What follows are excerpts from the discussion, featuring the words of three of the participants: Pierre Boulez, Mary Ann Caws and Nancy Perloff. Andrea Loselle, Assistant Professor of French at UCLA, moderated the roundtable and introduced the participants. Introduction by Andrea Loselle Pierre Boulez is generally acknowledged as one of the most important figures in music since the Second World War. He is active not only as a composer but also as a conductor and as founder, director and now honorary director of the famous Paris- based music research institute IRCAM {Instiliit de Rechcrches et de Coordination Acoustiqiw/Mnsique). In addition to his instrumental works, Mr. Boulez composed, earlier in his career, several major vocal works with poems by Rene Char, Stephane Mallarme, e. e. cummings and Henri Michaux. Composed mainly in the late 1940s, 50s and early 60s, these works' titles are: Lc visage nuptial, Soldi des eaux, Le marteau sans maitrc, Poesie pour pouvoir, Pli selon pli, and finally Cummings ist der Dichtcr. Of these works Visage nuptial, Soleil des eaux, Le marteau sans maitre and Pli selon pli have undergone numerous revisions. They represent instead works in progress and, in a couple of cases, a long span of years spent reworking, reinterrogating music, its organization, structure..

    PLATE BELLS Oh, from out the sounding cells, What a gush of euphony voluminously wells! How it swells! How it dwells On the Future! how it tells Of the rapture that impels To the swinging and the ringing Of the bells, bells, bells. Edgar Allen Poe, from The Bells At the ringing of bells To wonder at beauty, stand guard over truth Look up to the noble, resolve in the good This leadeth us truly, to purpose in living To might in our doing, to peace in our feeling To light in our thinking, and teaches us trust in the working of God, in all that there is in the width of the world, in the depth of the soul. Rudolph Steiner HISTORIC AND resonators were also tried out. Many of these experi- ments took place in Bayreuth (for Richard Wagner’s SOUND DESCRIPTION Parsifal) and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. OF PLATE BELLS These efforts had as their aim the combination of two aspects: on the one hand the most accurate imitation Asian Beginnings possible of the bell sound with its high proportion of Musical plates made of metal originated in Asia, overtones and, on the other, a sound with a definite mainly in China, around 3500 years ago, where they pitch. have been used from time immemorial and are still hugely important today. In India the ancient temple bell plates are used till this day in preparing for ceremonies, dispersing unwanted elements and in- voking the helping forces and godheads addressed. A popular variation of the bell plate is the Burma bell, a distinctively shaped bell plate that is often mounted using a single hole, allowing it to spin when struck, producing doppler effects.
