Forging The New Desi Music: Transnational Identity And Musical Syncretism At A South Asian-American Festival, Kevin Miller Jun 2004

Forging The New Desi Music: Transnational Identity And Musical Syncretism At A South Asian-American Festival, Kevin Miller

Kevin C. Miller

For three days in late April of 2002, Hollywood, California, was home to Artwallah, a multimedia arts festival of the South Asian Diaspora. "Artwallah" essentially means "one who does art," and over 65 artists and performers of South Asian heritage contributed their individual talents and distinctive voices to a collective expression that included dance, film, visual arts, theater, literature, stand-up comedy, and music. In addition to creating a temporary physical space conducive to the sharing of art and experience between participants and the audience, the festival also provided an ideological space that encouraged an inherently "hybrid" style of artistic expression. …

Scandinavian Fiddling For String Teachers, Carl Rahkonen Apr 2004

Scandinavian Fiddling For String Teachers, Carl Rahkonen

Carl Rahkonen

Scandinavian fiddling for string teachers is discussed. Scandinavian music consists of two layers of folk dance music. The older layer, called "bygdedans" (village dance), has the polska as its most common form. This layer of folk dance music was played either solo on fiddle, hardingfele, or nyckelharpa, in duos, or larger ensembles made up entirely of these instruments. The newer layer of folk dance, ironically called "gammeldans" (old dance), can add more contemporary instruments, such as the accordion, clarinet, bass, guitar, or almost any other instrument in addition to fiddles. Classical string players can readily participate in Scandinavian fiddling because …

These works feature major compositional techniques and procedures from 1900 to the present.

The principal compositional techniques employed in Remembranza are metric modulation, polytonality, and quotation. The tempo of this piece remains steady but every six or eight measures there is a …

Chopin And The Singing Voice, From The Romantic To The Real, David Kasunic Dec 2003

Chopin And The Singing Voice, From The Romantic To The Real, David Kasunic

David Kasunic

This study projects Chopin's wordless piano art onto the background of the practice and reception of singing in 19th-century France. At issue in this reception is the legacy of 18th-century philosophical materialism in 19th-century biological materialism. Singing ceases to be an exclusively human activity, and someone sings only when one both hears and sees that person sing. Hence Chopin as Singer was at once heard and seen. The introduction sets the stage for this sensory interdependence by showing how tuberculosis became a disease of listening---a musical disease---with the advent of the stethoscope. Hearing Chopin thus meant registering his disease; tuberculosis …

A Critical Edition Of Giuseppe Tartini’S The Art Of Bowing With Commentary, Linda Lamar Dec 2003

A Critical Edition Of Giuseppe Tartini’S The Art Of Bowing With Commentary, Linda Lamar

Linda Kline Lamar

The Art of Bowing by Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) may have been misrepresented since the early decades of the nineteenth century. This work, a theme and variations, is an important bowing study for violinists, but it is instructive in period articulation, left-hand technique, and ornamentation as well. Editions of the work from Tartini's time to the present are conflicting and no autograph manuscript has been found. There were four different editions of The Art of Bowing in the eighteenth century and early nineteenth century-most noteworthy among them being an edition by Le Clerc (1758) and editions in the three publications of …
