Download or read book Playing on Words written by David Osmond-Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luciano Berio's Sinfonia (1968) marked a return by the composer to orchestral writing after a gap of six years. This in-depth study demonstrates the central position the work occupies in Berio's output. David Osmond-Smith discusses the way in which Berio used the Bororo myth described in Levi-Strauss's Le cru et le cuit as a framework for Sinfonia. This is one of many influences in the work, which also include Joyce's 'Sirens' chapter from Ulysses, Beckett's The Unnameable and the scherzo from Mahler's 2nd Symphony. The listener who takes refuge in the score of Sinfonia, argues Osmond-Smith, finds there a maze of allusions to things beyond the score. It is some of those allusions that this book seeks to illuminate.

Book excerpt: In 1970, galvanized in part by the musical experiments of John Cage, Gavin Bryars, and Cornelius Cardew, students at Portsmouth College of Art formed their own symphony orchestra. Christened the Portsmouth Sinfonia, the primary requirement for membership specified that all players, regardless of skill, experience, or musicianship, be unfamiliar with their chosen instruments. This restriction, coupled with the decision to play "only the familiar bits" of classical music, challenged the Sinfonia's audience to reconsider the familiar, as the ensemble haplessly butchered the classics at venues ranging from avant-garde music festivals to the Royal Albert Hall. By the end of the decade, after three LPs of their anarchic renditions of classical and rock music and a revolving cast of over one hundred musicians-including Michael Nyman and Brian Eno-the Sinfonia would cease performing, never officially retiring.The World's Worst: A Guide to the Portsmouth Sinfonia, the first book devoted to the ensemble, examines the founding tenets, organizing principles, and collective memories of the Sinfonia, whose reputation as "the world's worst orchestra" underplays its unique accomplishment as a populist avant-garde project. In the simple constraint that defined the ensemble, the trappings of European concert hall traditions commingled with an experimental approach to music, producing a sense of joyful collectivism that was shared with the Sinfonia's audiences. The unorthodox journey of the Portsmouth Sinfonia unfolds here through interviews with the orchestra's original members and publicist/manager, magazine publications, photographs, and unseen archival material, alongside an essay by Christopher M. Reeves.

João V in Lisbon, c1726. Following a resurgence of interest in Almeida's work with recent performances of the dramma comico La Spinalba' and his oratorio La Giuditta' the Sinfonia No.1' newly engraved from manuscript is a valuable addition to the canon of works from this outstanding composer. --- Der portugiesische Komponist Francisco António de Almeida ist heute für seine kleine, aber bedeutende Sammlung von profanen und sakralen Vokalwerken bekannt.

Nach einem Wiederaufleben des Interesses an Almeidas Werken durch jüngste Aufführungen des dramma comico La Spinalba' und dem Oratorium La Giuditta' ist die 'Sinfonia No.1', die hier neu vom Manuskript gesetzt wurde, eine wertvolle Ergänzung zum Kanon der Werke dieses herausragenden Komponisten.
