Abstract

100 mots pour évoquer la musique classique, c'est beaucoup plus que les 3 clefs utilisées par les compositeurs, beaucoup plus que les 5 lignes d'une portée musicale et les 12 notes de la gamme. Mais 100 mots pour évoquer la musique classique, c'est finalement peu : comment présenter les mots techniques, le jargon, les emprunts faits aux autres arts, à l'italien ou à l'allemand, et espérer ainsi épuiser toutes les ressources du langage musical ? En fait, les 100 mots choisis par Thierry Geffrotin sont autant d'étapes, attendues ou surprenantes, d'un délicieux parcours musical. De « A cappella » à « Zarzuela », en passant par « Fricassée » ou « Sonate », il nous invite à partager sa connaissance de la musique classique, à en ressentir la passion, la jubilation, la souffrance parfois et le travail acharné qui ont présidé à la naissance d'œuvres exprimant plus d'émotions que tous les mots de toutes les langues !

Abstract

L'opéra est un spectacle à part : il invite tous les arts, propose l'alliance du texte et de la musique, attire aussi les plus grands artistes de l'époque pour sa mise en scène, pour ses décors. L'opéra est un bâtiment à part : c'est un des lieux les plus prestigieux des grandes villes, un marqueur social de la cité. L'opéra est une entreprise collective : des chanteurs aux techniciens, du chef d'orchestre aux musiciens, chacun œuvre à la réussite de la représentation. L'opéra est exigent : il demande à son public de connaître ses rituels et d'adhérer à toute une série de conventions radicales – sur scène, tout le monde chante et tout est chanté – pour s'abandonner à ses délices. De la « fosse » jusqu'aux « décors », des « répétitions » à la « première », Philippe Jordan nous invite à découvrir toutes les dimensions de l'opéra. Éclairant les traditions de ce genre musical au prisme de sa propre expérience, il nous dévoile aussi sa conception de la direction d'orchestre, de la relation au public, aux chanteurs ou encore aux metteurs en scène, etc., de l'opéra en somme.

Abstract

This landmark collection makes a major contribution to the burgeoning field of broadside ballad study by investigating the hitherto unexplored treasure-trove of over 100,000 Central/Eastern European broadside ballads of the Czech Republic, from the 16th to the 19th century. Viewing Czech broadside ballads from an interdisciplinary perspective, we see them as unique and regional cultural phenomena: from their production and collecting processes to their musicology, linguistics, preservation, and more. At the same time, as contributors note, when viewed within a larger perspective—extending one’s gaze to take in ballad production in bordering lands (such as Germany, Poland, and Slovakia) and as far Northwest as Britain to as far Southwest as Brazil—we discover an international phenomenon at work. Czech printed ballads, we see, participated in a thriving popular culture of broadside ballads that spoke through text, art, and song to varied interests of the masses, especially the poor, worldwide.

Abstract

Joseph Lanner (1801-1843) is one of the most important dance music composers of the Biedermeier era, he is considered the father of the "Viennese waltz", thus creating a tradition on which the Strauss sons in particular could build. Although Lanner has created well over three hundred compositions, there is still no scientific catalog of works that lists his numerous dances and arrangements and prepares them for the user with the help of source-critical research. After more than five years of research, this gap was closed with the present work. The first part provides a detailed introduction to the special characteristics of the Lanner compositions. After a brief biographical overview, important subject-specific explanations on the topics " In addition to the indispensable source references to the available materials including library signatures of the Vienna music collections, all historical editions - from the autograph to the various arrangements - are given with the date and title, as well as dates of the origin and the first performances. References (including the most important Viennese newspapers) conclude the individual work listings. Each work is also accessible via incipits to the musician, who is looking for certain themes and melodies. For all dances and arrangements, the relevant grade incipits are given at the beginning. A precise list of the instruments used allows conductors and dance music orchestras to get a quick overview of the requirements of a performance. In addition to an alphabetical list of all works, the appendix provides further practical information, including a list of all dedicatees as well as a short list of works by Joseph Lanner's son, August. All explanations for use (including abbreviations, etc.) required for the reader are available, so that the present catalog raisonné meets all the criteria required by musicology.

Abstract

Ancient Greece was permeated by music, and the literature teems with musical allusions. For most readers the subject has remained a closed book. Here at last is a clear, comprehensive, and authoritative account that presupposes no special knowledge of music. Topics covered include the place of music in Greek life; instruments; rhythm; tempo; modes and scales; melodic construction; form; ancient theory and notation; and historical development. Thirty surviving examples of Greek music are presented in modern transcription with analysis, and the book is fully illustrated with plates and diagrams. Besides being considered on its own terms, Greek music is here further illuminated by being seen in ethnological perspective, and a brief Epilogue sets it in its place in a border zone between Afro-Asiatic and European culture. The book will be of value both to classicists and historians of music.
