Charles Koechlin (1867-1950) by Robert Orledge Pdf

In 1942 Wilfrid Mellers classed Koechlin "among the select number of contemporary composers who really matter," yet it is only in the 1980s that Koechlin has begun to achieve the recognition he deserves as a composer of breadth, vision and powerful originality: a pioneer of polytonality and a master orchestrator who was greatly admired by contemporaries such as Faure, Debussy, Satie and Milhaud. Lavishly illustrated with photographic and musical examples, this book provides the first comprehensive evaluation of Koechlin's life and works. As well as concentrating on major symphonic works like Koechlin's Jungle Book cycle, it also discusses his attraction to the early sound film and the music inspired by such stars as Lilian Harvey, Marlene Dietrich and Charlie Chaplin in the 1930s. Koechlin's career provides a fascinating study of the triumph of integrity and independence over almost overwhelming odds, and is rich and varied output offers a veritable treasure-trove for performers, scholars and enthusiasts alike.

Catherine Urner (1891-1942) and Charles Koechlin (1867-1950) by Barbara Urner Johnson Pdf

Catherine Urner journeyed to Paris to study with Charles Koechlin after winning a prize for several years' study of music abroad. She studied with him from 1919-1921, when she returned to America and was appointed director of vocal music at Mills College. She continued to compose and give vocal recitals throughout California and made several more trips to Paris where her first string quartet premiered at Salle Pleyel in 1925. Urner arranged for Koechlin to come to the United States to teach a summer course in music at the University of California, Berkeley in 1928, and during this time their affaire became more intense and Koechlin persuaded her to return to France with him. Catherine lived with the Koechlin family until 1933. Koechlin harmonized many of her melodies and they collaborated on symphonic poem, 'The Bride of a God'. The strain of the relationship between Catherine and Charles on the Koechlin family became too great and Catherine returned permanently to the US in 1933. Four years later she married her friend and pupil, the organist Charles Shatto, though this happy union ended in tragedy.

Francis Poulenc by Sidney Buckland Pdf

"This collection of essays provides vivid new insights into Poulenc?s world, his particular rapport with painters, writers and fellow musicians, and with the social ?te who promoted his music through their salons. Contributions from international Poulenc scholars include the influence of various artists on his music, the nature of his affinity for Eluard?s poetry, his response to texts by Cocteau and Bernanos, and his constant search for suitable libretti. New light is thrown on two friendships, the first with his childhood friend Raymonde Linossier who introduced him to the world of books, the second to his teacher Charles Koechlin who greatly influenced his choral style. A detailed study is also provided of Poulenc?s four choral works with orchestra. Finally, the reader is allowed a rare view of Poulenc at the microphone, not as interviewee but as radio presenter, in his 1947-1949 series of programmes ?A bâtons rompus?."--Provided by publisher.

What's the Matter with Today's Experimental Music? by Leigh Landy Pdf

Today's education and communications media are seen to be the main cause of the anonymity of contemporary music and suggestions are made to improve this situation. Leigh Landy investigates audio-visual applications that have hardly been explored, new timbres and sound sources, the discovery of musical space, new notations, musical politics, and the 'musical community' in an attempt to incite more composers, musicians and musicologists to get this music out into the works and to stimulate the creation of new experimental works.

Soundtracks by Stewart R. Craggs Pdf

First published in 1998, music scored for film has only relatively recently received the critical attention which it merits. Many composers in the twentieth century have written works for films or documentaries, a number feeling that this aspect of their output has been undervalued. This dictionary complements other studies which have appeared in recent years which look at the technical and theoretical issues concerned with film music composition. Arranged alphabetically by composer, the volume comprises over 500 entries covering all nationalities. Each entry includes very brief biographical information on the composer, followed by a list of the films (with dates) for which he or she has composed. Details of recordings are also given. The dictionary’s international coverage ensures that it will become a standard reference work for all those interested in the history of twentieth-century music and the development of film.
