Book excerpt: Although the art song was a favorite genre for American composers at the turn of the twentieth century, its favor declined rapidly and significantly during and after the 1910s, and for the rest of the first half of the century the genre held a marginalized place in the output of the most significant American composers. Concomitant with this decline in song composition, song publication also declined considerably after 1920, and a significant percentage of the songs published thereafter were authored by composers who specialized in songs and shorter works expressly intended for the domestic song market and written in a conservative musical idiom which appealed to mass audiences. In contrast to these earlier declines, the number of song concerts in New York City and Chicago increased steadily until about 1930, even as the percentage of song concerts to other concerts held steady. After 1930, however, the number and percentage of song concerts in these two cities declined as well. The emergence of modernism on the musical landscape in the United States after 1915 was largely responsible for the decline in song publication and composition. Among other things, musical modernism valorized dissonance, melodic fragmentation, and objectivity; these characteristics ran counter to the largely Romantic orientation of the art song with its long-spun lyricism and subjectivity. As a revision of current thought, this study broadens the accepted corpus of modernist composers to include neo-Romantics such as Samuel Barber whose music retained an essentially Romantic character but was frequently imbued with modernistic elements. This study also shows that composers in certain stylistic, professional, and demographic categories wrote songs in significantly greater numbers those in others. For example, in looking at the total song output of over 100 American and transplanted composers, there was a direct correlation between musical style and song production; the more progressive a composer's musical style, the fewer songs he authored. In addition to the impact of modernism on the art song, these declines were also exacerbated by the art song's close association with other song types which lowered the art song's aesthetic credentials.

Download or read book My Happy Life written by Darius Milhaud and published by Marion Boyars Publishers. This book was released on 1995 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darius Milhaud, born in Provence in 1892, was one of the major composers of the twentieth century and also one of its most prodigious. Over 450 of his works have been catalogued (and listed in this volume), including operas, large and small, eighteen string quartets, twelve symphonies and thirty concertos, as well as such popular classics as Le Boeuf sur le toit, La Creation du monde, Suite provencal and the Suite francaise. In My Happy Life, completed in 1972, two years before the composer's death, Milhaud tells the full story of his own personal life and artistic development. A secretary to the playwright Paul Claudel, a close friend of Satie, Cocteau and Igor Stravinsky, Darius Milhaud was also a member, along with Georges Auric and Arthur Honneger, of the scandalous group of young French composers known simply as 'les Six.'. While often regarded during his lifetime as an open-minded musician of wide tastes whose music spanned many styles from avant-garde to jazz, he is revealed here as a thinker of note and a graceful writer. He depicts with great generosity of feeling the revolution that modern music has undergone this century and his own role in it, giving a clear account of his attitude towards his work and that of his fellow composers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIV With National Socialism's arrival in Germany in 1933, Jews dominated music more than virtually any other sector, making it the most important cultural front in the Nazi fight for German identity. This groundbreaking book looks at the Jewish composers and musicians banned by the Third Reich and the consequences for music throughout the rest of the twentieth century. Because Jewish musicians and composers were, by 1933, the principal conveyors of Germany’s historic traditions and the ideals of German culture, the isolation, exile and persecution of Jewish musicians by the Nazis became an act of musical self-mutilation. Michael Haas looks at the actual contribution of Jewish composers in Germany and Austria before 1933, at their increasingly precarious position in Nazi Europe, their forced emigration before and during the war, their ambivalent relationships with their countries of refuge, such as Britain and the United States and their contributions within the radically changed post-war music environment. /div

Download or read book The Music of Mauricio Kagel written by Bj Heile and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mauricio Kagel was undoubtedly one of the major figures in the new music of the last fifty years. Growing up in the rich cultural atmosphere of Buenos Aires in the 1940s and '50s, where the writer Jorge Luis Borges was one of his teachers, he became a member of avant-garde circles as well as receiving a rigorous musical education. By 1957 Kagel had acted on the advice of Pierre Boulez to move to Europe to pursue a career as a composer. He quickly established himself at Cologne, the rallying point for young composers at the time, and became one of the leading, if controversial, figures at the famous Darmstadt summer courses. He embraced multiple serialism, aleatory technique and electronics, but he is best known for his pioneering explorations in music theatre, radio play, film and mixed media. Bj?rn Heile charts Kagel's compositional development, considering the aesthetic and ideological issues the composer raises in his work. Focusing on Kagel's use of music as a means of intellectual inquiry, Heile shows Kagel to constantly question the nature of music and its role in society. Kagel's broadening of the concept of music to include theatre, film and other media, his disdain for purism as well as his subversive humour and sense of the absurd have challenged reified notions of music and art. Heile considers Kagel's background as Argentine immigrant to Europe (born to Russian-Jewish immigrants to Argentina) to situate the composer's aesthetic. What emerges is the breadth of Kagel's imagination and the multiplicity of contexts he drew from, which were both distinctive and, in the age of pluralist multiculturalism and globalization, exemplary. As Heile demonstrates, it was Kagel's enlarged notion of music as inherently multimedial that may be his most important contribution to new music, and on which his reputation ultimately rests.
