Electronic Dance Music: Is It Art? Selected Annotated Bibliography, University Of Denver

Musicology and Ethnomusicology: Student Scholarship

Electronic Dance Music, or EDM, is a genre of music that has enjoyed success. Although it grew out of art music in the twentieth century, EDM is considered popular music. But, is the future of EDM confined only within popular music or is there potential for it to influence or become art music? Or perhaps, is EDM already a form of art regardless of whether or not it is commonly seen as such? In response to such quandaries, this paper will form a method of critique to analyze EDM in comparison to art music. To do so, an overall understanding …

Metric Organization In Modern Guitar Transcriptions Of Renaissance Music: An Annotated Bibliography, Diogo Alvarez Leite Duarte Nov 2018

Metric Organization In Modern Guitar Transcriptions Of Renaissance Music: An Annotated Bibliography, Diogo Alvarez Leite Duarte

Musicology and Ethnomusicology: Student Scholarship

The concept of meter in music has changed throughout the centuries and many related terms and concepts (such as bar, time signature, tactus and prolatio) have either emerged or disappeared from the vocabulary of the professional musician according to the mindset of each period. Consequently, the understanding of metric organization in Renaissance music by modern musicians is compromised, and so are modern editions of said repertoire, which are based in modern music notation. In informed editions, the decisions regarding the use of bar lines, if one is to avoid arbitrariness, should reflect a concern for conveying a metric idea …

The Pedagogical Impact Of The Parallels Between Classical And Improvised Music, Joseph Harkins

Piano Pedagogy: Masters Research Projects

As one of the most versatile instruments in the world, the piano has been used in a plethora of musical styles and settings.

The Guitarist Behind La Guitaromanie : Charles De Marescot, Damián Martín-Gil Jan 2018

The Guitarist Behind La Guitaromanie : Charles De Marescot, Damián Martín-Gil

Soundboard Scholar

The guitarist Charles de Marescot is a figure often cited when referring to the guitar mania that arose in France during the first decades of the nineteenth century. Yet very little is known about his life and musical production, which was dedicated almost entirely to the guitar. Drawing on several newly discovered documents, this article aims to understand the role of this polemical figure in the vogue for the guitar by reconstructing his whereabouts. Particular attention is given to his relationship with Hector Berlioz, with whom he conducted some minor business.

A Checklist Of Works Attributed To Charles De Marescot, Damián Martín-Gil

Soundboard Scholar

The musical output of Charles de Marescot (1790–1842) has never been subjected to close examination. Only a few of his compositions are featured in guitar scholarship, notably his Méthode de guitare, op. 15, and the collection of pieces entitled La Guitaromanie, op. 46. And yet Marescot was rather prolific in his time. This checklist offers, for the first time, a catalogue—albeit incomplete—of all his guitar music published in France and England, offering, if possible, locations and dates for each work.

Guitar Music Manuscripts In The Senate Library Of Madrid: The CancióN PatrióTica De La Alianza And Its Experimental Notation, Ricardo Aleixo

Soundboard Scholar

The modest collection of manuscripts of guitar music preserved in the Senate Library of Madrid seems to provide a representative sampling of the types of guitar repertoire circulating in Spain in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Despite its small size, this corpus contains the most typical genres of the period— namely, two chamber music works for guitar with bowed string instruments, by Federico Moretti and Antonio Ximénez, a guitar duet by Pierre-Jean Porro, a solo guitar work by the mysterious señor D. G. G. M. A., and two songs with guitar accompaniment, one by Francisco Xavier Moreno and …

The color portrait of Fernando Sor which appears on the cover of this issue, not previously published as far as we know, is a hand-colored version of a printed (b&w) copy of a painting—an original portrait (now lost) of Sor—by one Innocent Louis Goubeau. Before it disappeared it was copied, in the mid-1820s, by both a lithographer and an engraver, probably in response to public demand. The lithograph, according to the British Museum exemplar now online and well documented (No. 1893,0123.45), bears the attribution “Goubeau pinxit / Lith de Engelmann / Lithod par Bordes,” which means that the original painter …
