Download or read book Luigi Dallapiccola and Musical Modernism in Fascist Italy written by Ben Earle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luigi Dallapiccola is widely considered a defining figure in twentieth-century Italian musical modernism, whose compositions bear passionate witness to the historical period through which he lived. In this book, Ben Earle focuses on three major works by the composer: the one-act operas Volo di notte ('Night Flight') and Il prigioniero ('The Prisoner'), and the choral Canti di prigionia ('Songs of Imprisonment'), setting them in the context of contemporary politics to trace their complex path from fascism to resistance. Earle also considers the wider relationship between musical modernism and Italian fascism, exploring the origins of musical modernism and investigating its place in the institutional structures created by Mussolini's regime. In doing so, he sheds new light on Dallapiccola's work and on the cultural politics of the early twentieth century to provide a history of musical modernism in Italy from the fin de siècle to the early Cold War.

Download or read book Nostalgia for the Future written by Luigi Nono and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nostalgia for the Future is the first collection in English of the writings and interviews of Luigi Nono (1924–1990). One of the most prominent figures in the development of new music after World War II, he is renowned for both his compositions and his utopian views. His many essays and lectures reveal an artist at the center of the analytical, theoretical, critical, and political debates of the time. This selection of Nono’s most significant essays, articles, and interviews covers his entire career (1948–1989), faithfully mirroring the interests, orientations, continuities, and fractures of a complex and unique personality. His writings illuminate his intensive involvements with theatre, painting, literature, politics, science, and even mysticism. Nono’s words make vividly evident his restless quest for the transformative possibilities of a radical musical experience, one that is at the same time profoundly engaged with its performers and spaces, its audiences, and its human and social motivations and ramifications.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?Pub Inc The discussion that follows addresses the early twelve-tone works of Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola. While much recent scholarly attention has focused on works composed from the 1950's onwards, this dissertation will examine those works written during the 1930's and 1940's when Dallapiccola slowly began to integrate twelve-tone procedures into his music. Furthermore, it will be argued that two important biographical events shaped the development of his twelve-tone music: the removal of the Dallapiccola family to Graz, Austria for a twenty month period during the First World War because of his father's sympathies with the Irredentist movement, and the adoption of Italy's own racial purity campaign by Mussolini during the Second World War. The result is a compositional process that mimics the aesthetic ideal of the fragment. Some brief biographical information on Dallapiccola is presented in Chapter 1, and the discussion then turns to examine the Irredentist movement, which resulted in the aforementioned period of exile in Austria, and the aesthetic ideal of the fragment; in particular, its connotation in the Romantic period and how it may be adapted for discussion about Dallapiccola's twelve-tone compositions. Chapter 2 looks at Estate, an a cappella piece written for male chorus. It includes an opening and closing section with clear tonal elements, and a middle section that uses mostly chromatic material. The discussion on this middle section will focus on the presence of any nascent twelve-tone procedures. In addition, Dallapiccola's idea of cantabilita is introduced, which is writing a 'singable' melody using principles dating back to the Italian Renaissance. Chapter 3 addresses the first movement of the Tre laudi, which is composed for solo voice and chamber orchestra (the remaining pieces all follow this format). This composition displays the first unequivocal use of a row form: two, in fact, are presented at the beginning and end of the piece. The discussion will concentrate on the intervening material and the extent of its twelve-tone organisation. Chapter 4 turns to the " Due liriche di Anacreonte, " which is part of the larger cycle of the Liriche greche. These pieces, dating from the 1940's, use twelve-tone material exclusively. As a result, rather than trying to determine to what extent this method is being used, the discussion will now focus on Dallapiccola's systematic twelve-tone procedures: the first movement, Canoni, as the title suggests, presents the row in imitative entries whereas the second movement, Variazioni, exploits a homophonic texture. Here, the discussion of the row will concentrate more on harmonic implications than on linear considerations, as was the case for the first movement. A lingering question provides the impetus for Chapter 5, namely, what is the Variazioni a variation on? The second movement used a different ordered row than the first and thus, it cannot be a variation on the original row. Instead, it will be argued that the answer to this question lies in the last movement of the Sappho fragments and the first movement of the Alkaios songs, which both make reference to the ordered row used in the Variazioni. The conclusions chapter will attempt to place Dallapiccola in the context of modernism. Walter Frisch's term historicist modernism is introduced to draw attention to the fact that, while Dallapiccola breaks from the recent past by using the innovative pitch organisation of the twelve-tone method, he simultaneously reaches out to the past in his endeavour to uphold the ideal of cantabilita.

Book excerpt: "Luigi Dallapiccola (1904-1975) is considered the foremost Italian composer of twelve-tone music. While the culmination of his efforts resulted in masterpieces such as Quaderno musicale di Annalibera, in which the transformation of a single row is the basis of the entire composition, earlier efforts in the technique show that Dallapiccola first viewed the twelve-tone technique as an aid in crafting melodies and a tool for delineating formal boundaries. Cinque Frammenti di Saffo, from the triptych Liriche greche, is Dallapiccola's first composition in which twelve-tone techniques are a primary component, but the cycle demonstrates a different view of dodecaphony than is evident in his later twelve-tone works. While twelve-tone rows serve as major components of the composition's overall framework, they are not the sole pitch elements in the work, and they illuminate the role that dodecaphony served in Dallapiccola's earliest use of the technique. This paper examines the melodic, harmonic, and formal outcomes of the incorporation of twelve-tone techniques in the Cinque Frammenti, also noting the setting of text in each movement and motivic cells that help to make the work cohere."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
