This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Musicology, The University of Malaya, language: English, abstract: In the world of music, Claude Debussy became the foremost composer of the new musical impressionism. His aim was to express "the inexpressible," in a manner that would ultimately reinvent music drama as "drama in music." Through his only completed opera, Pelléas et Mélisande, Debussy created a new technique designed to "convey the état d'âme of the characters and the maze of unconscious conflicts between them." Debussy chose to set the poetry of Materlinck's drama, Pelléas et Mélisande, possibly because of the importance of nature within the drama, a quality that appealed to both artists' impressionist in expressing the changing aspects of nature, especially of light. Debussy began composition on the work in August 1893, starting with the climactic love scene in the fourth act. Throughout the process of composition, Debussy worked to create a new original technique away from the prevailing contemporary German and Italian style, although he found it difficult to fight the influence of Wagner. The general subdued character of Debussy's score is evident due to its subtlety, restraint, and understatement, resulting from his radically revised approach to text-setting and employment of the orchestra. The use of aria and recitative in their conventional forms is abandoned. Debussy's vocal line carries the text in long, soft declamation that sets one syllable to one note.

Book Synopsis Debussy and the Veil of Tonality by : Mark DeVoto
Download or read book Debussy and the Veil of Tonality written by Mark DeVoto and published by Pendragon Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book on Debussy's music comprises analytical studies of individual works not widely examined previously, including the Fantaisie for piano and orchestra, La demoiselle élue, Nuages, and Gigues. A discussion of the tonal structure of the first movement of La mer finds new relevance in the overused term symphonic in relation to Debussy's position in the history of French orchestral music. An extensive essay documents Debussy's aural images in his propensity for recycling his own musical ideas and quoting the music of other composers. A final lighthearted chapter, Debussy and Ravel: How to Tell Them Apart, systematically addresses this century-old critics' conundrum.

Book Synopsis Debussy in Performance by : James R. Briscoe
Download or read book Debussy in Performance written by James R. Briscoe and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claude Debussy, who composed works of major significance in a wide range of musical and theatrical genres, has exerted a fundamental influence on musicians of the twentieth century. This book explores how Debussy's compositions are brought to life in performance, investigating the composer's own expectations, the traditions surrounding the performance of his music, and the internal and contextual evidence that can give insight to performers of his works. Leading international scholars and interpreters of Debussy's music draw on his letters and music criticism as well as on the memoirs of performers close to him to discuss issues of performance forces, tempo and its flexibility, performer license, and the interpretation of expressive indications in the scores. They urge performers to recognize the symbolism and the value of silence in Debussy's work. And they show that it is particularly important to focus on aspects of timbre, voice-leading, and the musical arabesque, together with meter and phrase ambiguities, when playing his music. The book also includes the translation of an article on the opera Pelleas et Melisande In performance by one of Debussy's original conductors, Desire-Emile Inghelbrecht, and an interview with the composer-conductor Pierre Boulez on approaches to Pelleas and the orchestral works.
Book Synopsis On the Interpretation of the Mélodies of Claude Debussy by : Jane Bathori
Download or read book On the Interpretation of the Mélodies of Claude Debussy written by Jane Bathori and published by Pendragon Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Bathori was a catalyst for as well as interpreter of the works of many French composers. In 1904, she met Claude Debussy, played some of his piano pieces for him and sang several of his songs. Their discussions were the basis for her 1953 book, On the Interpretation of the Melodies of Claude Debussy which she resolved to write "after having heard Debussy's intentions betrayed so many times, and also to encourage singers ... to study some of the songs which are not known and are never sung, the excuse being that they are so difficult to interpret" (from Bathori's opening).
Download or read book Debussy written by Stephen Walsh and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most revered composers of the twentieth century, Claude Debussy (1862–1918) achieved the unheard of: he reinvented the language of music without alienating the majority of music lovers. Debussy drove French music into entirely new regions of beauty and excitement at a time when old traditions threatened to stifle it. Yet despite his profound influence on French culture, Debussy’s own life was complicated and often troubled by struggles over money, women, and ill health. Here, Stephen Walsh, acclaimed author of Stravinsky, chronicles both the composer himself and the unique moment in European history that bore him. Walsh’s engagingly original approach is to enrich a lively biography with analyses of Debussy’s music: from his first daring breaks with the rules as a Conservatoire student to his achievements as the greatest French composer of his time.

Book Synopsis Musical Symbolism in the Operas of Debussy and Bartok by : Elliot Antokoletz

This book was released on 2004-07-22 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musical Symbolism in the Operas of Debussy and Bart?k explores the means by which two early 20th century operas - Debussy's Pell?as et M?lisande (1902) and Bart?k's Duke Bluebeard's Castle (1911) - transformed the harmonic structures of the traditional major/minor scale system into a new musical language. It also looks at how this language reflects the psychodramatic symbolism of the Franco-Belgian poet, Maurice Maeterlinck, and his Hungarian disciple, B?la Bal?zs. These two operas represent the first significant attempts to establish more profound correspondences between the symbolist dramatic conception and the new musical language. Duke Bluebeard's Castle is based almost exclusively on interactions between pentatonic/diatonic folk modalities and their more abstract symmetrical transformations (including whole-tone, octatonic, and other pitch constructions derived from the system of the interval cycles). The opposition of these two harmonic extremes serve as the basis for dramatic polarity between the characters as real-life beings and as instruments of fate. The book also explores the new musico-dramatic relations within their larger historical, social psychological, philosophical, and aesthetic contexts.
