Full textWestern art songs written on Japanese poems, Tanka, appeared in the early twentieth century as a late manifestation of Japonisme, the Japanese influence on Western art and music. The songs discussed in this dissertation include Japanisches Regenlied (1909) by Joseph Marx, Three Japanese Lyrics (1912-13) by Igor Stravinsky, Petits Poi!mes Japonais (1919) by Francesco Santoliquido, and Romances on Texts by Japanese Poets (1928-32) by Dmitri Shostakovich. Japonisme emerged as a significant movement in late-nineteenth-century Western art when Japanese artworks were first exported to Europe. Under the influence of these works, Western painters soon adopted Japanese techniques especially from traditional wood-block prints (Ukiyo-e). The appreciation of Japanese art and culture eventually emerged in Western music as a part of Orientalism and exoticism, first in opera, then in Debussy's music, and lastly in art songs. The Japanese poems used in Western art songs examined here are most commonly referred to as Tanka (a short poem), a genre that flourished between the third and tenth centuries. Because of the unique characteristics of the Japanese language, translating Japanese poems into European languages requires a certain imagination. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the relationship between the original Japanese poems and their translations into European languages, and to discuss their transformation. The introduction provides a brief overview of Japonisme in Western art in the late nineteenth century. Chapter One focuses on the basic elements of Japanese poetry in order to outline the characteristics unique to the Japanese language. Considering Japanese influence within the category of "Orientalism" and "Exoticism" in music, Chapter Two explores the evidence for Oriental and exotic influences on Western music. Chapter Three focuses more specifically on Japanese influences in Western music. A detailed study of poems and translations, and their relationship to music is the core focus of Chapter Four. Chapter Five concludes that Tanka vanished from Western art songs soon after the songs under consideration were composed.

Full textLa position géopolitique et socioculturelle ambivalente de la Russie, en tant qu'intermédiaire autoproclamé entre l'orient et l'occident, a formé sa double identité et cela a joué un rôle important dans la création de son propre Autre Oriental. Cette thèse examine l'influence politique et culturelle de plusieurs mélodies russes du dix-neuvième siècle ayant des sujets orientaux ou asiatiques, à la fois à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur du contexte « d'orientalisme » d'Edward Said. Elle analyse également la manière dont les compositeurs de mélodies russes ont adapté, transformé et assimilé la musique provenant de sources infographiques publiées tout au long du siècle. En contextualisant l'Orientalisme du dix-neuvième siècle à l'aide d'analyses de collections de chansons folkloriques, d'ethnographies, et mélodies russes, cette étude s'intéresse à la formation même de l'image russe de l'Autre conjointement à l'édification d'une identité nationale et musicale spécifiquement russe. Basée sur un répertoire abondant – bien que peu analysé et théorisé – de mélodies russes ayant des sujets orientaux, de même que plusieurs écrits d'érudits, de voyageurs, d'individus ordinaires et d'ethnographes russes à propos de la musique et de la culture des minorités orientales russes, cette thèse met en lumière la nature changeante de la théorie, la pratique et la création de la musique russe du dix-neuvième siècle ayant des sujets orientaux, de même que les représentations variées et souvent contradictoires de l'Autre oriental et l'extraordinaire complexité de la relation colonisateur-colonisé en Russie.

Giacomo Meyerbeer (September 5, 1791-May 2, 1864) was one of the most celebrated composers in the 19th century and the leading exponent of French grand opera. Meyerbeer's operas were immensely popular; for example, his opera Robert le diable was performed 100 times in Paris alone and was featured on the programs of 77 theatres in ten countries, all within three years of its première. Meyerbeer's collaboration with Eugène Scribe, who was the most famous librettist of the century, began with Robert le diable (1831) and their partnership continued for the creation of Les Huguenots (1836), Le prophète (1849), and L'Africaine (1865). Meyerbeer's larger-than-life operas defined the genre of French grand opera. Meyerbeer was a serious, dedicated composer who composed mostly for the stage, but he also wrote sacred music, choral music, instrumental music, and songs. Meyerbeer composed over 50 songs, mostly mélodies and lieder that were translated and published in both German and French. He also composed some Italian canzonette. Meyerbeer's songs are rarely performed in recitals, however, they have originality, beauty, intensity, and theatricality and are worthy to be explored, performed, and cherished. His operas featured unconventional and sensational scenes, tragic love stories set in the middle of the whirlwind of political and religious clash, and bigger-than-life sets to transport his audience to exotic, faraway places. Did Meyerbeer lend the same magical touch to his songs? Was he able to create the same story line of epic portion as he did in his grand operas? My goal is to provide an introduction to the Meyerbeer song repertoire which as a result will encourage more voice teachers, students, and professional performers to incorporate Meyerbeer's outstanding, yet rarely performed songs into their recital programs. In the charts, Meyerbeer's songs are organized by three language groups: Italian, French, and German, and are organized alphabetically by title within each language group. Each chart has eight columns: number; song title; lyricist; year of composition; range; additional available singing translations; difficulty level; and comments. Six songs in total, with two songs from each language group, are chosen and analyzed to explore Meyerbeer’s songs in depth. The selected songs are from various points of Meyerbeer’s career, and are of different levels of difficulties, topics, lengths, and moods.

Full textIn the Philippines, a type of love song known as the Kundiman had existed since the early 19th century. But in the early 20th century Kundiman had developed into art song. The term Kundiman comes from the Tagalog phrase “kung hindi man” or “if it were not so”. Written in the Tagalog language, these folksongs were subtly patriotic but typically disguised as love songs. Filipinos, in their long struggle against an oppressive Spanish regime, saw it as a tool that would ultimately unite Filipino revolutionaries to wage war against the Spaniards in 1896 during the Spanish-American War.
The composer Francisco Santiago (1889-1947) is sometimes called the “Father of Kundiman Art Song”. While his masterpiece is considered to be his Concerto in B flat minor for pianoforte and orchestra, one of his most significant piece is his song “Kundiman, (Anak-Dalita)”, the first Kundiman art song. Santiago regarded the Kundiman art song as something “that expresses the lofty sentiment of love, and even heroism in a melancholy mood”. Given the cross-fertilization of Spanish and Filipino cultures in the 19th century, Kundiman art songs were typically a blend of melodic material from native folksong and European music traditions. The result is a song characterized by smooth flowing lines and beautiful melodies. The piano accompaniments are typically full in texture, sometimes containing countermelodies, sometimes merely harmonizing with the vocal line in thirds and sixths. One other significant early composer of Kundiman art songs was Nicanor Abelardo (1893-1934). His songs, together with those of Santiago’s became models for other Filipino composers such as Constancio De Guzman (1903-1982) and Miguel Velarde, Jr. (1913-1986) in the decades following Abelardo’s death.
The purpose of this essay is to shed some light on this unique genre of song, and provide the tools necessary to study and perform these representations of Filipino culture and history. To do this, I have provided brief background information on the origins of Kundiman art song. I have also provided a guide to pronunciation, grammar and the idiosyncracies of the Tagalog dialect. Finally, this essay contains a performance guide for 20 representative Kundiman art songs, including original texts, literal and prose translations, International Phonetic Alphabet (I.P.A.) transcriptions, and suggestions for interpretation and style.
In researching and analyzing these songs I have gained an understanding of the aesthetic appeal of Kundiman art songs. More importantly, these songs are not widely known in the classical world. But because of their unique connection to Filipino history and culture, they deserve serious attention. These songs would indeed make a great addition to a recital program.

Full textThere are few publications at present addressing the topic of Colombian art song. In the past two decades, researchers have begun to discover and present pertinent, useful information about the development of song literature in this country beyond brief historical and regional context, but our understanding of the subject remains dim. Jaime León (b. 1921) is a virtual unknown in the music world. Yet his contribution to the development and placement of Colombian art song in the Latin American canon is undeniably invaluable. His 36 songs provide insight into Colombia's artistic values and culture, poetic development, and folkloric and nationalistic tendencies, thereby elucidating the country's position in the context of Latin America's musical growth, particularly within the art song genre. This study explores the rich wellspring of his song output with respect to his compositional style, transcontinental artistic development, and unusual career trajectory. It also seeks to place him within the context of the evolution of Latin American art song genre in the twentieth century, including comparisons to selected continental contemporaries.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa aborda a íntegra das canções para voz aguda e piano do compositor Bruno Kiefer compostas em 1957/58 e 1978, sobre poesias de Mário Quintana, Fernando Pessoa, Lara de Lemos e José Santiago Naud. O foco deste trabalho consiste em fornecer subsídios para a performance das canões, oferecendo aos cantores informações sobre o modo como o compositor tratou a relação entre música e poesia nestas obras, dentro de uma perspectiva pós-moderna. Além do objetivo principal desta pesquisa, procuramos no decorrer do trabalho contextualizar o período de criação das canções que integram o corpus da pesquisa; conhecer os tipos de relações possíveis entre música e poesia, levantando questões teóricas, críticas e metodológicas a partir das idéias de músico, poeta e estudiosos do assunto; verificar a existência de gestos musicais e poéticos recorrentes e como eles se associam; identificar os processos de colocação de texto em música por Kiefer comuns às diferentes canções, num processo de autocitação, para conhecer o estilo do compositor. A coleta de dados para a contextualização de gênese das obras, focado na interação do compositor com o meio onde compunha, foi realizada por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Procedimento adotado também na abordagem histórica do desenvolvimento da relação entre música e poesia, assim como de opiniões diversas sobre o temas incluindo as de Kiefer. O processo de análise lítero-musical flundamenta-se nas idéias de autores como Steim & Spillman e La Rue, considera os parâmetros que o próprio compositor registrou em seus estudos musicológicos e recorre ao conjunto de gestos identificados e nomeados por Cardassi.

The focus of the study consists in providing linformation for the performance of these songs, principaly the manner in whichthe composer dealt with the relationship between music and poetry in these works, within a post modern perspective In addition to the principal objective of this study, we seek to put in context the period of composition of these songs; to discuss the possibile relationships between music and poetry, raising theoretical, critical and methodological question based on the ideas of musicians, poets and specialistas in the matter to verify the existence or musical and poetic gestures and how they ar associated; and to identify the composer's styles and methods of placling text in music, based on his own writings. The collection of information to contextualize creation of these works, cocussing on the interactio of the composer wlith the means of composition, is the result of bibliografic research and contact with personal documents of the composer. The same process was adopted in the historical treatment of the development of tlhe relationship betwenn mlusic and poetry and diverse opinions on the theme includling thos of Kiefer. The literary/musical analytical process is based on the ideas of authors such as Steim & Spillmanand La Rue and considers parameters which the composer registered lin his musicological studies using the set of gestures indentified and listed by Cardassi.
