Book Synopsis Composing the Party Line by : David G. Tompkins
Download or read book Composing the Party Line written by David G. Tompkins and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the exercise of power in the Stalinist music world as well as the ways in which composers and ordinary people responded to it. It presents a comparative inquiry into the relationship between music and politics in the German Democratic Republic and Poland from the aftermath of World War II through Stalin's death in 1953, concluding with the slow process of de-Stalinization in the mid-to late-1950s. The author explores how the Communist parties in both countries expressed their attitudes to music of all kinds, and how composers, performers, and audiences cooperated with, resisted, and negotiated these suggestions and demands. Based on a deep analysis of the archival and contemporary published sources on state, party, and professional organizations concerned with musical life, Tompkins argues that music, as a significant part of cultural production in these countries, played a key role in instituting and maintaining the regimes of East Central Europe. As part of the Stalinist project to create and control a new socialist identity at the personal as well as collective level, the ruling parties in East Germany and Poland sought to saturate public space through the production of music. Politically effective ideas and symbols were introduced that furthered their attempts to, in the parlance of the day, "engineer the human soul." Music also helped the Communist parties establish legitimacy. Extensive state support for musical life encouraged musical elites and audiences to accept the dominant position and political missions of these regimes. Party leaders invested considerable resources in the attempt to create an authorized musical language that would secure and maintain hegemony over the cultural and wider social worlds. The responses of composers and audiences ran the gamut from enthusiasm to suspicion, but indifference was not an option.
Book Synopsis Engaging Cultural Ideologies by : Cindy Bylander
Download or read book Engaging Cultural Ideologies written by Cindy Bylander and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaging Cultural Ideologies offers a recontextualization of the effects of Poland’s cultural practices, especially those concerning issues such as nationalism, elitism, and race, on the genesis and performance of contemporary Polish compositions from 1918 to 1956. Based on extensive archival research that includes the first comprehensive examination of concert programs in Poland as well as a series of case studies focused on composers’ challenges in the midst of nearly constant turmoil, Bylander brings fresh insights into the public and private power struggles concerning artistic freedom that were animated by similar points of contention across seemingly diverse historical eras.

Book Synopsis Making New Music in Cold War Poland by : Lisa Jakelski
Download or read book Making New Music in Cold War Poland written by Lisa Jakelski and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making New Music in Cold War Poland presents a social analysis of new music dissemination at the Warsaw Autumn International Festival of Contemporary Music, one of the most important venues for East-West cultural contact during the Cold War. In this incisive study, Lisa Jakelski examines the festivalÕs institutional organization, negotiations among its various actors, and its reception in Poland, while also considering the festivalÕs worldwide ramifications, particularly the ways that it contributed to the cross-border movement of ideas, objects, and people (including composers, performers, official festival guests, and tourists). This book explores social interactions within institutional frameworks and how these interactions shaped the practices, values, and concepts associated with new music. Ê

Book Synopsis The Symphony and Symphonic Thinking in Polish Music Since 1956 by : Beata Bolesławska
Download or read book The Symphony and Symphonic Thinking in Polish Music Since 1956 written by Beata Bolesławska and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1956 was a year of transition in Poland, and an important year for Polish music. This year saw the beginning of a political thaw – sometimes called the Polish October – in communist Poland. It was also the year of the establishment of the 'Warsaw Autumn' International Festival of Contemporary Music. This was a time of great artistic ferment in Polish music, which also deeply influenced symphonic thinking. The year 1956 is thus an appropriate starting point for Beata Bolesławska’s study of the contemporary Polish symphonic tradition. Bolesławska investigates the influential Polish avant-garde, illuminating the ways in which new musical means and ideas influenced symphonic music and the genre of the symphony in the music of such important composers as Witold Lutosławski (1913–1994), Henryk Mikołaj Górecki (1933–2010) and Krzysztof Penderecki (b. 1933). Referring to the main elements of the European tradition, as well as examining briefly the symphonic activity in Poland before 1956, the book concentrates on the symphonic writing in the context of avant-garde trends, represented by the so-called 'Polish school of composers', as well as on its later redefinitions proposed by Polish composers up to the present day.
Download or read book Béla Bartók written by David Cooper and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This deeply researched biography of Béla Bartók (1881–1945) provides a more comprehensive view of the innovative Hungarian musician than ever before. David Cooper traces Bartók’s international career as an ardent ethno-musicologist and composer, teacher, and pianist, while also providing a detailed discussion of most of his works. Further, the author explores how Europe’s political and cultural tumult affected Bartók’s work, travel, and reluctant emigration to the safety of America in his final years. Cooper illuminates Bartók’s personal life and relationships, while also expanding what is known about the influence of other musicians—Richard Strauss, Zoltán Kodály, and Yehudi Menuhin, among many others. The author also looks closely at some of the composer’s actions and behaviors which may have been manifestations of Asperger syndrome. The book, in short, is a consummate biography of an internationally admired musician."

Book Synopsis Life and Death for Music by : John Mackenzie Pierce
Download or read book Life and Death for Music written by John Mackenzie Pierce and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite Poland's decimation during the Second World War, musicians there formed orchestras and performed concerts within days of liberation. Even before hostilities had concluded, audiences flooded makeshift concert halls and revealed a new-found hunger for contemporary classical music. This dissertation asks why musicians in Poland were able to quickly channel trauma into action and examines how their experiences during wartime-whether as performers in Warsaw's cafés, exiles in the USSR, or refugees from the Holocaust-shaped their subsequent conviction that music could help rebuild a devastated society. To analyze these questions, I study the generation of Polish and Polish-Jewish classical musicians-composers, musicologists, critics, performers, and organizers-who were at the height of their careers when WWII began. I trace the emergent forms of sociality that connected these musicians from the semi-formal associations of the 1930s into the high Stalinist period of the early 1950s. I argue that individual relationships, alongside the politics of friendship more widely, helped to create an artistic milieu that formed the basis for state institutions after 1945. In viewing this history from the ground up, across the span of World War II, I demonstrate that personal experiences of wartime violence catalyzed aesthetics and political organization alike. During the 1920s and 1930s, these musicians shared a conviction that Poland's musical underdevelopment required widespread action, whether by launching concerts in the Polish backcountry or importing modernist trends from western Europe. During WWII, these same organizations enabled some musicians to survive, while other musicians were forced to take more drastic measures, whether by hiding or leaving occupied Poland. By the early postwar period the paths of these protagonists had diverged, with many (including Zofia Lissa, Tadeusz Ochlewski, Zygmunt Mycielski, and Piotr Perkowski) continuing their work at home. Others, including Roman Palester, Mateusz Gliński, and Tadeusz Kassern, emigrated, even as they shared sympathies for rebuilding. By reconstructing a collective biography of these musicians, I show how their wartime experiences gave birth to heterogeneous visions for Poland's musical future, visions from which the country's socialist musical culture was ultimately forged.
