Фолклорни и извъневропейски елементи в западноевропейската музика от втората половина на ХХ век: Жан-Клод Елуа и Хосе Луис Кампана
Folk and Extra-European elements in late twentieth-century WesternEuropean music: Jean-Claude Eloy and Jose-Luis Campana

Summary/Abstract: The article is a follow-up to a paper delivered at an international conference on Bulgarian Musicology: Retrospectives and Perspectives (2018) dealing with various trends in the adoption of Extra-European influences, the earliest of which having to do with some contemporary transcriptions of folk songs in compositional works from the second half of the twentieth century. The previous publication brought forth one of these trends, i.e. the contemporary transcriptions of folk songs as evidenced by Luciano Berio’s oeuvre; two more trends have been outlined and exemplified here through the creative work of next-generation composers Jean-Claude Eloy and Jose-Luis Campana. The first one is manifest in the use of specific vocal/instrumental techniques and formation principles, and the second in the invention of a new musical substance by means of contemporary technologies allowing for the use of instrumental timbres previously unknown to the Western-European tradition. These developments in European compositional work have been interpreted as a testimony to the process of overcoming the aesthetics of exoticism in the conditions of contemporary globalization.
