Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of organ music and pipe organs in Puerto Rico dates to Spanish colonial times. Unfortunately, most organ works composed during that period of time did not survive due to fires, hurricanes, the attacks of English and Dutch pirates, and the change of sovereignty in 1898. After the entrance of the United States in 1898, a few organ works were composed and various pipe organs were installed on the island, but no significant developments took place in Puerto Rican organ culture. Recently, with the installation of a three manual Casavant organ at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras in 2006, and the creation of the position the author occupies as organist and organ professor at the institution, new opportunities for organ music on the island have flourished. This lecture-recital centers on an investigation of the organ works of four Puerto Rican composers of the twentieth and twenty-first century: William Ortiz, Carlos Lamboy, Raymond Torres-Santos and Roberto Milano. The document includes a brief history of the pipe organ in Puerto Rico and its music, biographical notes of each composer, and an analysis of the compositions performed during the lecture recital presented on April 19, 2016 at the University of Kansas. The paper and presentation intend to expose Puerto Rican organ music to a wider audience and to inspire other generations of Puerto Rican

Download or read book The Puerto Rican Cuatro as a Device for Transculturation written by Anthony L. Sanchez and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 806 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Puerto Rican cuatro has served as one of the most important musical instruments in the Hispanophone Caribbean. In addition to its national context, this instrument can also function as a tool for promoting and disseminating transculturation in music. In this study, I concentrate my attention on discussing the past and present theories of transculturation. By accomplishing this task, I attempt to establish possible connections to this theory and music composition by referring to pivotal moments in Puerto Rican history and using the cuatro as a musical guide. Additionally, I provide a more detailed look at the significance and origins of the cuatro stringed instrument from the perspective of music composition. I discuss the challenges of classifying the Puerto Rican cuatro, as well as explain the rudiments of its notation and range when writing for this instrument. Additionally, I provide readers with explanations concerning contemporary techniques that composers can apply to the cuatro in twenty-first century classical music. In order to accurately illustrate the techniques mentioned in this study, I frequently refer to my accompanying chamber piece Estampas de La Isla del Encanto (2015-16). Explaining the compositional processes that I adhere to in this work enables readers to explore the musical and technical approaches that I use and the preexisting compositions that I have followed as models for inspiration. I focus on three main goals in this study. First, I uncover information (and gaps) about the Puerto Rican cuatro. Second, I discuss the theories and criticisms of transculturation. Lastly, I apply transculturation to the field of music composition by demonstrating the compositional potential of the cuatro as an instrument for contemporary classical music. In addressing these goals, I also provide a condensed history of Puerto Rico (from Pre-Columbian times, to the twenty-first century). I additionally demonstrate that the extant literature concerning the cuatro presents an indirect transcultural narrative about the instrument in Puerto Rican society. In representing the Taino, European, African, and North American impact on the island, I illustrate that all of these cultures have contributed in some form to Puerto Rican history and music culture.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Romantic Music written by John Michael Cooper and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 847 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical Dictionary of Romantic Music, Second Edition covers the persons, ideas, practices, and works that made up the worlds of Western music during the long 19th century (ca. 1780–1918). It’s the first book to recognize that Romantic music was very nearly a global phenomenon. It includes more women, more Black musicians and other musicians of color, and more exponents of musical Romanticism from Central and South America as well as Central and Eastern Europe than any other single-volume study of Romantic music—thus challenging the conventional hegemony of musical Romanticisms by men and by Western European nations. This book includes entries on topics including anti-Semitism, sexism, and racism that were pervasive and defining to the worlds of musical Romanticism but are rarely addressed in general studies of that subject. It includes Romantic musicians who were not primarily composers, as well as topics such as the Haitian Revolution, spirituals, and ragtime that were more important for music in the long 19th century than is generally acknowledged. The result is an expansive, inclusive, diverse, and more richly textured portrayal of Romantic music than is elsewhere available. Historical Dictionary of Romantic Music, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, an extensive bibliography, and a dictionary section with more than 600 cross-referenced entries on traditions, famous pieces, persons, places, technical terms, and institutions of Romantic music. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Romantic music.
