DIALOG KULTUR NA PRZYKŁADZIE DWUDZIESTU ODSŁON MIĘDZYNARODOWEGO FESTIWALU MUZYKI SAKRALNEJ GAUDE MATER W CZĘSTOCHOWIE (1991)2010)

Author(s): Marcin T. Łukaszewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2014

The paper describes the phenomenon of multiculturalism at the International Festival ofSacred Music Gaude Mater in Częstochowa. The festival has been running since 1991. Itincludes a variety of artistic events, most of them sacred music concerts (Gregorian chant, early music, Orthodox, Polish music from all historical periods, and premieres). The festival also promotes the musical culture of Jasna Góra. The special feature of the festival is its multiculturalism involving the presentation of non-Christian sacred music. In the years 1991-2010, the festival featured Jewish, Muslim, Egyptian, and African music. The dialogue between cultures also facilitates connections between high and mass culture. This is accomplished through various combinations of gospel, jazz, pop elements with classical music. In addition, the attempts of dialogue between different cultures furnish a number of non-musical events, such as theatre performance, arts exhibitions, and conferences.

An examination of Clara Schumann’s musical salons and the research problems that occurred

Author(s): Marlene Priller / Language(s): English Issue: 03 (30)/2016

Clara and Robert Schumann were connected very closely to the culture of the musical salons serving young and ambitious musicians and composers. Clara Schumann’s life is documented very well, but there is only a very small amount of literature dealing with her activities in the musical salon. This paper aims at providing an insight into the different circles Clara as well as her husband organised. The existent and non-existent source material is discussed and, by doing that, the current state of research on this subject is elaborated. Furthermore, this paper endeavours to point out the difficulties of research on this topic. That part is followed by a closer look at the characteristics of the private circles of the Schumanns during their years of marriage and the years after Robert Schumann’s death from 1856 to 1896.

Polski epizod w działalności artystycznej pianisty i kompozytora Josepha Woelfla

Author(s): Ewa Bogula-Gniazdowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 02 (25)/2015

Joseph Woelfl, an Austrian pianist and composer, was born on 24th December 1773 in Salzburg, where he began his musical education. In 1790 he left his hometown for Vienna, most probably following Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He can’t have stayed there long as in 1791 he was admitted for service at Prince Michał Kleofas Ogiński’s estate, where he spent about fifteen months. Prince Ogiński is remembered in the history of music mainly as the master of the stylised polonaise. The short cooperation with Woelfl bore fruit in their artistic activities, as Prince Ogiński created his first stylised polonaises during that time. Similarly, Woelfl was inspired by Polish surroundings. During his stay in Warsaw he created „Polonaise”, which became part of his sonata, marked as Fw 7 by Margit Haider-Dechant in the Joseph Woelfl. „Verzeichnis seiner Werke”, which was probably performed during a public concert in the capital of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1792. The Polish dance must have made a great impression on the Austrian composer, as Polonaise in the form of a rondo reappeared in his musical output in the third movement of Piano Concerto No. 1 op. 20, published in Paris nearly ten years later. Neither Joseph Woelfl nor above mentioned Piano Concerto op. 20 are currently popular in Poland. Thus, I would like to have a closer look at the piece, paying particular attention to the third movement „Rondo à la Polonaise” and at the same time referring to the mutual inspirations of the Austrian and Prince Michał Kleofas Ogiński.

John Zorn. Jak być żydowskim postmodernistą (albo postmodernistycznym Żydem)?

Author(s): Michal Wandzilak,Mariusz Czubaj / Language(s): Polish Issue: 03/2015

Being one of the most prominent figures of the New York avant-garde scene since the early 1980s of the 20th century – John Zorn is almost nonexistent in the Polish musical studies. Moreover, even though his art is densely packed with the dilemmas of the contemporary culture, Zorn’s music seems to be unnoticed neither by the anthropology nor by the cultural studies. Style-wise, due to the theory of the Jonathan Kramer and other notable music theorists, John Zorn’s music should be classified as connected to the postmodern movement. In his early works Zorn explores different musical contexts: the concept of “high” and “low” styles, structural unity, eclecticism, popular culture, etc. But dated from the release of the album, titled Kristallnacht, the next period of Zorn‘s musical activity is deeply involved in search for the Jewish identity in music and therefore rerouted to the new political religious social and traditional context. In short, John Zorn through his music is questioning the fundamental issues of contemporary culture: its identity, existence and tradition.

Wątki żydowskie w polskim kabarecie na początku XXI wieku

Author(s): Diana Karwowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 03/2015

The paper deals with the image of Jews in contemporary Polish cabaret. Increasingly, homegrown artists take up the subject of anti-Semitism and intolerance although sometimes they include stereotypical figures, clever Jews. Sometimes you can still find very nostalgic references to the lost past. Generally, this subject does not enjoy the popularity of cabaret performers; their focus on describing the present Polish society rarely takes into account any representatives of other nationalities. The analysis of these representations is supplemented by the reflection on the vitality of prejudices against the Jewish community and the place of their Polish heritage in popular culture.

Dna jako kod kulturowy

Author(s): Jan Domaradzki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 02/2015

Science has always fascinated artists and many inventions and discoveries have become a source of artistic inspiration. Also, genetics and the deoxyribonucleic acid molecule (€[), represented by the double helix model, inspires visual arts and becomes a leitmotiv for artistic creativity, an object of art and even an artistic technique. Thus, the aim of the present paper is to describe cultural representations of deoxyribonucleic acid in painting, sculpture, architecture, cinema, music and functional art. It expresses the three main forms by which €[ is represented in modern art, such as: an icon, an index and a symbol. Nevertheless, €[ is also used by artists as a unique crafting tool and an artistic technique that can be observed in bioart. Another example of cultural presence of €[ is common speech, where it is one of the most popular metaphors frequently used in marketing, economic consulting, urban planning, sport and advertising. The paper argues that €[ is not only a biological code but a cultural one as well. It is a symbol of modern science and a cultural icon. And it is due to the fact that this ‘molecule of life’ is immensely rich in cultural meanings: it is associated with uniqueness, beauty and casual power. It is the essence of life and the source of immortality. At the same time, €[ enables to propagate new explanations of social ideas on human nature, heredity, destiny, the origins of life, identity, morality and the organization of society.

Zachodnia i wschodnia tradycja wykonawcza śpiewu sakralnego: aspekt estetyczny

Author(s): Ievgeniia Lazarevych / Language(s): Polish Issue: 04 (31)/2016

Fundamental differences between Kyiv-Pechersk choral style and Western model of performance of religious chants can be considered in various contexts and at several levels. One should take into account diversity of church rules (canon), mentality, even geographical location and physiological capabilities of voices of the singers coming from a particular area. The performance practice is also connected with such factors as cultural traditions, language, way of life and social issues related to faith. It is therefore understandable that, after a short period of a fragile cultural unity of the Church, different traditions emerged. The author argues that the way of singing is directly dependent on the fundamental philosophical and theological ideas, originating from the Church canon. Then, the differences between chant performance in two main branches of the Christian Church seem to be a consequence of the distinct ways in which the theological doctrine, dogma of the Church, the temporal and spatial principles of worship and art developed in Roman Catholic and Byzantine Orthodox traditions. The two different perceptions of communication with God and its influence on church singing are considered by the author as an exemplary case.

Dwa Źródła Aretuzy. Semantyka, literackie właściwości i funkcjonowanie aspektów kompozycji Karola Szymanowskiego w sonecie Jarosława Iwaszkiewicza

Author(s): Łukasz Kraj / Language(s): Polish Issue: 04 (31)/2016

The purpose of this article is to define the possible meanings and connotations of musical compositions and their conversion into the lingual substance of poetry. Since the issue is varying internally and always needs particular examples, the undertaken analysis concerns two pieces of art: Fountain of Arethusa by a Polish composer Karol Szymanowski and a sonnet of the same title written by his friend and relative, writer Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz. Firstly, the matter of literary title and its associations is compared in both pieces, which leads to conclusion that while the name of composition generates loose and imprecise connotations, literature requires more specification, nonetheless both the composer and the poet understand mythical subject alike and reception of the work of the latter is based on emotional and semantic qualities similar to those included in the composition. Then, the subject of musical genre is depicted, with emphasis placed on literary connotations and their implications in the process of transcription of music into words. As the poet uses sonnet, which apparently has got poor connections to music, the motives of such choice are enumerated, including significance in European culture and interior dichotomy, both of which one can find in Szymanowski’s work. Further, the article describes relations between music character indications in musical score and particular lexemes in the poem. Musical work can exist in literature in many ways, first of which is being a theme of objective or subjective description. Such illustration of music in the poem is analysed. Then the euphonious and rhythmic features of the text are described in order to prove that music exists in the sonnet in its sound as well as being a scheme which is reinterpreted and imitated by the writer. The analysis shows that although one cannot translate musical matter into words, it is impossible to ignore many intersemiotic correlations between music and literature. Every example of such coexistence – either on the ground of semantics or form – must be studied individually.

Śmierć i rola trupów w „martwych przestrzeniach”

Author(s): Agnieszka Kłos / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

The article focuses on the presentation of basic features of the camp world in the memoirs of former prisoners as a space of tangled categories defined as dead and alive. The world of values described by the witnesses illustrates a significant change in the generational awareness: the birth of a new dimension of the narrative. The text stresses the role, meaning and change in distinctive features of the genres related to memoir literature. The traditional typology, based on the universal rules of distinguishing the genres from one another, gives way to a more open formula, striving for “communicational orientating.” In the article, the “consciousness” of the prisoner’s body and its basic strategies are presented. The author provides an overview of gulag stories, revealing the perspective of the body, whose “adventures” in Auschwitz form the central narrative axis of these statements. The camp body transforming into the dead body, returning intermittently to the order of the living, overlays the whole camp space, to finally become its most capacious symbol. In the prisoners’ memoirs, it is a biological organism, a cell within a living organism, and a part of the scenery, both the real one – the horizon, the landscape – and the cultural one, as it builds this place (cemetery). A special role in these narrations is assigned to the corpses, which are proofs of the experienced loneliness, fragments of the camp landscape, reminders of the physical fragility, subjects of jokes, vaudevilles and songs, but also documentaries filmed during the functioning of Auschwitz concentration camp.

Author(s): Anna Al-Araj / Language(s): Polish Issue: 02 (33)/2017

The aim of this article is to interpret songs by Gabriel Fauré, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel and a less-known composer − Irena Wieniawska (1879−1932), based on the same poems by Paul Verlaine. In the first part of this paper, the relationships between Wieniawska, Fauré, Debussy, Ravel and Verlaine are subsequently described. Then, the author makes a comparison between selected songs by French composers and Madame Poldowski, indicating main similarities and differences. The final part consists of some remarks related to the fact that Wieniawska fulfills features of the French mélodie very strictly. This is why her songs seem to be more traditional, not so allusive and sophisticated as Debussy’s or Ravel’s vocal works
