This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are unique stylistic characteristics of Spanish piano music from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Typically, when one hears piano music from this time period, one knows it is Spanish in origin. There are certain traits common to Spanish composers that lend this sense. Such exemplary composers include Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909), Enrique Granados (1860-1909), Manuel de Falla (1876-1846), Joaquin Turina (1882-1949), and Federico Mompou (1893-1987). These five well-known composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries utilized stylistic traits that encompass these commonalities. To understand the "Spanish" sound, it is necessary to comprehend and recognize historical influences and stylistic traits including: National Identity Harmony and Melody Flamenco Influence/ Dance Rhythms Guitar Figurations French Modernism Geographical Regions This essay will broadly outline summarize these characteristics of Spanish piano music from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Individual chapters on each composer will include history, an overview of stylistic characteristics, an overview of major works for piano, and musical excerpts. These excerpts will be used to demonstrate the origin, execution, and understanding of the style. These musical excerpts will primarily be from pieces suitable for an early-advanced or advanced student. Pedagogical considerations and suggestions of musical activities for students will also be offered.

Download or read book Manuel de Falla and Modernism in Spain 1898 1936 written by Carol A. Hess and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although studies of Modernism have focused largely on European nations, Spain has been conspicuously neglected. As Carol A. Hess argues in this compelling book, such neglect is wholly undeserved. Through composer Manuel de Falla (1876-1946), Hess explores the advent of Modernism in Spain in relation to political and cultural tensions prior to the Spanish Civil War. The result is a fresh view of the musical life of Spain that departs from traditional approaches to the subject and reveals an open and constantly evolving aesthetic climate.

Download or read book Spanish Music in the Twentieth Century written by Tomás Marco and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the exhilarating impact of Isaac Albeniz at the beginning of the century to today's complex and adventurous avant-garde, this complete interpretive history introduces twentieth-century Spanish music to English-speaking readers. With graceful authority, Tomas Marco, award-winning composer, critic, and bright light of Spanish music since the 1960s, covers the entire spectrum of composers and their works: trends and movements, critical and popular reception, national institutions, influences from Europe and beyond, and the effect of such historic events as the Spanish Civil War and the death of Franco. Marco's penetrating aesthetic critiques are threaded throughout each phase of this rich account. Marco provides detailed coverage of the key figures, induding a chapter devoted entirely to Manuel de Falla--Spain's most celebrated twentieth-century composer--and a panoramic survey of recent arrivals on the contemporary music scene. Exploring the rise and fall of the zarzuela, the author highlights innovative works in this authentic Spanish genre. He analyzes the attempts to find an audience for Spanish opera; demonstrates the flowering of symphonic and chamber music at the beginning of this century; traces currents such as romanticism, impressionism, and neoclassicism; and tracks the influence of Spain's distinctive regional folk traditions. Covering musical innovation after Spain's emergence from its period of isolation, Marco notes the speed with which many composers absorbed the work of Stravinsky and Bartok, the twelve-tone system, aleatory forms, electronic techniques, and other European developments. English-speaking scholars, musicians, critics and general readers have for decades been without full information on the rich and varied work coming out of Spain in this century. This lively history fills a long-felt need and fills it superbly, with the knowledge and insights of a major figure in the musical world.

Download or read book Spanish Piano Music and Folklore written by Ana Benavides and published by . This book was released on 2024-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a pioneering work on the study of popular music-songs and dances-from the eighteenth to early twentieth centuries. The piano was the dominant solo instrument in European art music of this period, including Spanish, and Ana Benavides uses this as a vehicle for examining a wide variety of vernacular songs and dances, offering a wealth of musical, historical, and ethnographic insight. First published in Spanish in 2019, this translation by Walter Aaron Clark shows how one of the most frequent and established practices in the history of Western art music has been the borrowing and reinterpretation of traditional and popular musics, which reflect the lives and spirit of those outside the upper social strata. This volume provides an exploration of specific folk-inspired works with an inquiry into the historical cross-pollination between popular and classical musical idioms. It will prove invaluable not only to pianists but also to scholars, performers and students in general"--
