Book excerpt: After his tragic death in 1920, at the age of thirty-five, Charles T. Griffes became the object of an almost fanatical devotion among many American music-lovers, and his reputation and stature have grown steadily ever since. His songs, piano compositions, string music, and symphonic works are now in the repertoire of leading musicians and symphonic organizations. Against a rich background of contemporary figures and of musical life in the early years of this century, Mr. Maisel here traces the story of Griffes' rise from obscure origins. Much light is thrown on the conditons and problems of American music in general; and there is a careful analysis of many of the central ideas of Griffes' music, especially his best-known pieces, The White Peacock and The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan. The result is an interesting chapter in the history of American culture, and a fascinating study of the creative temperament in our time.

Download or read book The Pastoral in Charles Griffes s Music written by Taylor A. Greer and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the century, visionary composer Charles Tomlinson Griffes synthesized highly diverse elements from other musical traditions into his distinct artistic voice. As American as he was far ranging in his interests, Griffes was an aesthetic polyglot, combining elements of literature, visual arts, global folk melodies, and contemporary European art music into a new musical language. The breadth of his sources of inspiration are breathtaking, including the sensual harmonies of fin-de-siècle French music, the British Aesthetic Movement, folk music drawn from the Middle East and Java, and a wide range of poets, including William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and William Sharp. The Pastoral in Charles Griffes's Music explores both his music and the rich historical context from which it grew to enrich our understanding of the composer's artistic contribution and reveal new intersections and contradictions in European and American culture during the early twentieth century. Taylor A. Greer also critiques the philosophical foundation of topic theory and its relationship to the pastoral in Griffes's music to reflect on the end of the nineteenth century and clarify our understanding of his artistic influences. With Griffes's conception of the pastoral, he transformed the siciliana-based tradition he inherited from the eighteenth century into a new and vibrant genre that preserved the usual associations of simplicity and tranquility and introduced new elements of tension into the pastoral ideal, including global voices, paradox, and occasional conflict.
Download or read book Oppositions and Reconciliations in Representative Piano Works by Charles Tomlinson Griffes written by Anqi Wang and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles T. Griffes (1884--1920) was an early twentieth-century American composer who wrote for piano, chamber ensembles, orchestra, and voice. His musical language is rich and varied, which creates contrasts and oppositions in his compositions. In developing his musical language, Griffes drew inspiration from Classical, Romantic, and Impressionistic music, as well as Exoticism and Russian music. In addition to the musical influences revealed in Griffes's musical writing, there are extramusical ones as well, such as nature, painting, photography, theater, and poetry. Learning from different styles and fields, Griffes developed a musical language full of contrasts; however, reconciliations are also crucial in his music, making the musical structure unified, ingenious, and effective aesthetically. Griffes successfully built a sense of integrity into his music by reconciling such oppositions both subtly and creatively. In his music, the resemblances of opposites are designed both horizontally and vertically. In horizontal reconciliations, opposing elements or concepts occur in succession, complementing and echoing each other; and in vertical reconciliations, opposing elements or concepts appear simultaneously in multiple voices. This thesis analyzes the oppositions and reconciliations (both vertical and horizontal) in Griffes's music based on musical and extramusical influences. Focusing on "The White Peacock," op. 7, no. 1 and "The Fountain of the Acqua Paola" (both from the collection entitled Roman Sketches), The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan (piano solo version), and especially the Sonata for Piano, this thesis shows the process by which Griffes achieves an integration of opposites in his compositional practice.

Download or read book Music as Philosophy written by Michael Spitzer and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beethoven's late style is the language of his ninth symphony, the Missa Solemnis, the last piano sonatas and string quartets, the Diabelli Variations, the Bagatelles, as well as five piano sonatas, five string quartets, and several smaller piano works. Historically, these works are seen as forging a bridge between the Classical and Romantic traditions: in terms of their musical structure, they continue to be regarded as revolutionary. Spitzer's book examines these late works in light of the musical and philosophical writings of the German intellectual Theodor Adorno, and in so doing, attempts to reconcile the conflicting approaches of musical semiotics and critical theory. He draws from various approaches to musical, linguistic, and aesthetic meaning, relating Adorno to such writers as Derrida, Benjamin, and Habermas, as well as contemporary music theorists. Through analyses of Beethoven's use of specific musical techniques (including neo-Baroque fugues and counterpoint), Spitzer suggests that the composer's last works offer a philosophical and musical critique of the Enlightenment, and in doing so created the musical language of premodernism.
