Full textThis dissertation presents the history of space in the musical thought of the 2Othcentury (from Kurth to Clifton, from Varèse to Xenakis) and outlines the development of spatialization in the theory and practice of contenlporary music (after 1950). The text emphasizes perceptual and temporal aspects of musical spatiality, thus reflecting the close connection of space and time in human experience. A new definition of spatialization draws from Ingarden’s notion of the musical work; a new typology of spatial designs embraces music for different acoustic environments, movements of performers and audiences, various positions of musicians in space, etc. The study of spatialization includes a survey of the writings of many composers (e.g. Ives, Boulez, Stockhausen, Cage) and an examination of their compositions. The final part of the dissertation presents three approaches to spatialization: Brant’ s simultaneity of sound layers, Xenakis’s movement of sound, and Schafer’s music of ritual and soundscape.
Cette thèse présente l’histoire de l’espace dans la pensée musicale du vingtième siècle (de Kurth à Clifton, de Varèse à Xenakis) et retrace le développement de la spatialisation dans la théorie et la pratique de la musique contemporaine (après 1950). Le texte souligne les aspects perceptuels et temporels de la spatialisation musicale, reflétant ainsi le lien étroit entre temps et espace t!ans l’expérience humaine. Une nouvelle définition de la spatialisation tire son origine de la notion de l’oeuvre musicale d’Ingarden; une nouvelle typologie des plans spatiaux prend en considération des musiques pour différents environnements acoustiques, diverses positions des musiciens dans l’espace de même que le mouvement de ceux-ci et des auditeurs, etc. L’étude de la spatialisation inclut un survol des écrits de plusieurs compositeurs (Ives, Stockhausen, Boulez et Cage, par exemple) de même qu’un examen de leurs oeuvres. La dernière partie de la thèse présente trois approches compositionnelles de la spatialisation: la simultanéité de strates sonores ,:hez Brant, le mouvement du son chez Xenakis et la musique du rituel et l’écologie sonore chez Schafer.

Full textFrench critics of Le Sacre viewed the work as a portrayal of Russian "Otherness" against which they could assert or question their own identity. Whereas the primitivism of Le Sacre was understood to be radical, excessive, even prophetic and apocalyptic, the primitivism of Les Noces was perceived as a manifestation of the classicist "call to order" and as an emblem of American-style mechanization. That it was also understood in terms of the post-war avant-garde's emphasis on classical ideals of austerity, dryness, and sobriety reflects the Purists' belief that machines heralded the new classicism.
Jazz was the ultimate symbol of both primitivism and modernity, and was initially hailed by the avant-garde as a revivifying source for the French tradition. In their attempt to neutralize the racial and political threats perceived to be inherent in jazz, the avant-garde emphasized its rationality, precision, and economy. La Creation du monde represents the avant-garde's complete assimilation of jazz and l'art negre into the French classical tradition.

Roos, Hilde. "Hendrik Hofmeyr : lewe en werk, 1957-1999." Thesis, Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2000. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/51787.
Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The topic of this thesis is the life and music of Hendrik Hofmeyr, from his birth in 1957 until July 1999. The discussion on his life focusses on the events that influenced the establishment of his works and also those that had an effect on the style in which Hofmeyr composes. Although he experienced a steady development and growth as a composer, Hofmeyr's ten year stay in Italy and the event of the 1997 Queen Elisabeth of Belgium Composition Competition can be mentioned as major influences on his life and thus on his work. Hofmeyr's ideas on music are discussed in Chapter 2. To understand the intention of his music, it is important to know something of Hofmeyr's approach to music. The chapter concludes that Hofmeyr can be described as a 'romantic' composer which provides the reason why he has always been outspoken against the avant-garde which characterises much of the artmusic of the zo" century. The style analysis of the following chapter looks at three important parameters of any composer's style: harmony, melody and form. It further also discusses Hofmeyr's use of counterpoint and the specific playing techniques he requires of instruments. These two aspects stand out as particular to the composer's style. Due to the scope of the thesis, these aspects are dealt with in a limited way. A more detailed discussion of two compositions follow, the song cycle Alleenstryd and the String Quartet. Besides an analysis of both works, attention is also given to how the composer's ideas on music are manifested in these works. The thesis concludes with a detailed list of works including all works composed up to July 1999. 50 compositions are listed. To allow for maximum exposure of each work, the duration as well as a description of each work are added to the otherwise standard information.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis behandel Hendrik Hofmeyr se lewe en werk as komponis vanaf sy geboorte (1957) tot en met Julie 1999. Die beskrywing van sy lewe is daarop gerig om aan te dui hoe die gebeure in sy lewe die totstandkoming van sy komposisies en die styl van sy musiek beïnvloed het. Hoewel daar 'n geleidelike ontwikkeling in sy groei as komponis bestaan, kan sy tienjarige verblyf in Italië en die Koningin Elisabeth van België Komposisiekompetisie in 1997 as belangrike invloede uitgelig word. In hoofstuk 2 word Hofmeyr se idees oor musiek bespreek. Om die intensie en gedaante van Hofmeyr se musiek te verstaan, is dit belangrik om hierdie uitgangspunte van die komponis te begryp. In die hoofstuk word die gevolgtrekking gemaak dat Hofmeyr in wese 'n 'romantikus' is en dat hy daarom reeds sedert sy studentejare sterk uitgesproke is teen die avant-garde wat 20ste eeuse kunsmusiek kenmerk. Die stylanalise wat daarna gemaak word, behandel drie belangrike parameters van enige komponis se styl: harmonie, melodie en vorm. Verder sluit dit ook Hofmeyr se gebruik van kontrapunt in en die spesifieke speeltegnieke wat hy van instrumente verlang. Hierdie twee aspekte staan uit as besondere eienskappe van die komponis se musiek. Vanweë die omvang van die tesis, is die bespreking van hierdie aspekte redelik beperk. In Meer gedetaileerde bespreking van twee werke volg, naamlik die sangsiklus Alleenstryd en die Strykkwartet. Buiten 'n analise word ook na ander aspekte van hierdie werke gekyk, soos byvoorbeeld die wyse waarop die komponis se uitgangspunte oor musiek in hierdie werke tot uiting kom. Die tesis sluit af met 'n volledige werklys wat alle werke tot en met Julie 1999 insluit. Daar is altesaam 50 werke. Om soveel as moontlik inligting te verskaf, word buiten die standaard-inligting, ook die tydsduur en 'n beskrywende paragraaf oor elke komposisie ingesluit.

Full textEn 1909, la Revue musicale mensuelle de la Société Internationale de Musique (RSIM) demanda à six compositeurs français (Debussy, Dukas, Hahn, d’Indy, Ravel et Widor) d’écrire chacun une pièce pour piano dans le but de commémorer le centième anniversaire de la mort d’Haydn. Leurs pièces devaient incorporer un thème imposé bâti via une correspondance entre des notes et les lettres du mot “Haydn”. Dans le contexte de la quête d’identité des Français de la fin du 1ge siècle, ce tombeau collectif représente une occasion unique de découvrir quelles caractéristiques musicales leur étaient importantes. L’analyse de ces pièces a permis d’isoler cinq éléments communs: réinterprétation enharmonique comme moyen d’exploration de tons éloignés, liaison de registres à grande échelle, utilisation d’accords dissonants dans le but d’obtenir une certaine couleur, moyens ingénieux de créer l’unité et usage de formes et de genres issus du passé. L’influence des cultures allemande et italienne ainsi que celle de l’histoire musicale de la France et de sa politique sont également évaluées. Les tombeaux révèlent l’importance qu’occupe la musique du passé pour les compositeurs français au tournant du 20e siècle et comment cette musique prépare l’avènement du néoclassicisme d’après-guerre.

Resumo: A pesquisa consiste em discutir a inserção da mulher no campo da composião musical erudita brasileira na segunda metade do século XX através do estudo de caso. Foram escolhidas cinco compositoras: Maria Helena Rosas Fernandes (1933), Joey de Oliveira (1936), Marisa Rezende (1944), Vânia Dantas Leite (1945) e Denise Garcia (1955). A partir da metodologia da história oral, baseada principalmente em coleta de dados, entrevistas e análise de documentos primários, juntamente com a metodologia de pesquisa de história de conteúdo, caracterizada pela pesquisa bibliográfica fundamentalmente, foram elaboradas as trajetórias de cada compositora, enfocando a composição musical em suas vidas. Trabalhamos com alguns conceitos específicos para realização das análises e da reconstrução do campo, tais como: campo e dominação masculina desenvolvidos por Pierre Bourdieu e de geração por Karl Mannhein. Procuramos compreender a maneira como essas mulheres se tomam compositoras dado uma realidade caracterizada pela quase ausência feminina nesse campo, apesar das inúmeras conquistas da mulher durante o século XX, no Brasil e no mundo
Abstract: This research aims to analyze woman inclusion in the Brazilian classical music composition field in the second half of the twentieth century, through the case investigation. Five composers were chosen: Maria Helena Rosas Fernandes (1933), Joey de Oliveira (1936), Marisa Rezende (1944), Vânia Dantas Leite (1945) and Denise Garcia (1955). From the oral history methodology, based primary in data collection, interviews and analysis of primary documentation, together with the content history research methodology, based in bibliographic research, the biographies of each composers were elaborated, focusing the musical composition in their lives. We worked with some specific concepts for the realization of the analysis and the field re-construction, such as Field and Male Domination developed by Pierre Bourdieu and Generation by Karl Mannhein. We try to understand the way this women became composers inside a reality characterized by an almost female absence in this field, spite the incalculable woman conquests through the twentieth century, in Brazil and the World
