Music Education and Musical-Sociological Research

Author(s): Bedřich Crha / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The current world which is nowadays commonly called globalized, postmodern, media, information, virtual, consumer etc. is typical of the significant change of music environment where new, unexpected and often unpredictable ways of working of different music types enter the relatively stable system of music in society, so called new dimension of music social existence. That requires a continuous theoretical reflection from music pedagogy as a starting point for further projection of the process of music education which is impossible without information of musical-sociological type on music activities and attitudes to music genres which present strong correlations with music preferences, especially in a wider context of values and value orientations. The significant source of this information might be the results of empiric surveys of individual university departments in the area of music science and music education which are the subject of this essay.

Extracurricular Musical Activities in Primary School from the Teachers’ Point of View

Author(s): Sabina Vidulin / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The paper stresses the importance of organized and planned activities in primary school students' free time, by means of their participation in extracurricular musical activities. In this process, it is important to focus on student satisfaction, active participation, and concrete contribution, which would ensure high-quality outcomes and influence comprehensive student development. Research results point out the advantages and drawbacks of organizing extracurricular musical activities in Croatian schools. Teachers stress that the interest of students ranges around average levels, that the curriculum is largely well adapted to their needs and capacities, but they also report that students cooperate successfully with one another and that the work atmosphere is pleasant. By offering various extracurricular musical activities in the school one can help students to broaden their knowledge and develop their musical skills. For this reason, offering new programs, materials, and approaches is inevitable if we wish to modernize these activities and receive greater student interest in participation.

ALTERNATIVE REALITIES IN FIRST WORLD WAR SONGS

Author(s): Ylva Berglund Prytz,Gerald Porter / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Both literally and figuratively, war has always been an arena for encounters with the otherworld. From the interventions of the gods in the Trojan War to the Angels of Mons in the 1916, the mythology of conflict has offered resolution in the shape of alternative realities. As if war is too materialist, it must be endowed with magic. This might be from outside (the Angels of Mons) or through the appeal to internal anxieties implied by the famous question 'What did you do in the Great War, Daddy?' This paper examines the ways in which contemporary songs explored alternative representations of the First World War, asserted a critical consciousness of the paradoxes and ironies involved, and also, in many cases, asked whose interests the War served. The study is based on a huge international initiative to gather oral and written narratives from all the countries taking part in the 1914-18 War. It takes examples of songs from both ‘sides’ in a war in which the ideologies of each were, in fact, remarkably similar.

PARALLEL WORLDS IN THE ARBËRESH SONG ‘O E BUKURA MORE’ (OH, MY BEAUTIFUL MOREA)

Author(s): Ardian Ahmedaja / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This is one of the best-known songs of the Albanian diaspora (the Arbëresh) in Italy. The song lyrics are replete with homesickness for a land which was left and is never to be seen again. Curiously enough, this land is Morea, in the south-west of the Peloponnese in Greece. The name Morea is connected with the exodus of the Arbëresh to southern Italy and Sicily after the fall of Koroni to the Ottomans during the Siege of Coron, 1532–34. The question is, why has this particular song become a symbol of the exodus for this diaspora? The answer lies in the visible and non-visible parallel worlds of the song as well as those projected into it. These will be the main focus of this article. The first mention of the song is in 1775, though the metric structure indicates an older origin. Arbëresh intellectuals and priests have provided important information about the customs and rites of which the song has been part and, despite their romantic view, they have helped scholars to recognize the magical-religious context from which the song originated and how it has been transformed to the “nostalgic hymn” known and performed today also among Albanians in the Balkans.

PARALLEL WORLDS IN THE SOUTH ALBANIAN BALLADS OF NIZAMS

Author(s): Lumnije Kadriu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Nizams were ordinary soldiers in the regular army of the Ottoman Empire who were taken from all places under its rule for mandatory service in distant countries, such as Yemen and Arabistan. As a result, a ballad subgenre was created: Ballads of Nizams. Since the Middle Ages, the Ottoman Empire conducted periodic battles with Yemen and so ballads were produced over a long time span. Because of the nature of their absence and the long distances involved, as well as difficult environmental conditions where they were sent, men often had little chance of returning alive. Thus, in these songs, mostly in the oldest versions, we find communication between Nizams and their loved ones realized metaphorically and supernaturally. Communication was not only between people in distant countries but also between different worlds, of the dead and the living. In this article, in addition to analysis of two quite popular Ballads of Nizams sung in polyphony, which is a characteristic of singing in south Albania, their re-creation and re-contextualization over time and space will also be analysed. Moreover, the analysis will include the reuse of one of the ballads by the prominent writer Ismail Kadare to interpret a painful contemporary phenomenon, that of women who in time of crisis in Albania were forced to leave the country and ended up as prostitutes abroad. Their “world” became very distant and difficult, and return was most probably impossible, both because of the social stigma and because they were considered to inhabit an “underworld”.

Przechwycenie i przemieszczenie. Strategie zaangażowania w tomie „Natalia ist sex. Alex ist Freiheit” Siksy

Author(s): Monika Lubińska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The text analyses the writing and artistic strategies of capture and displacement present in Siksa’s volume Natalia ist sex. Alex ist Freiheit as well as the broader context of Aleksandra Dudczak’s stage activity. First, the author focuses on the phenomenon of the accumulation of pseudonyms, names and characters used by the artist, which are crucial for the development of the book’s protagonist. She then discusses the problem of Siksa’s reclaiming of hate speech to communicate anti-violence and anti-patriarchal content and the ways in which parody functions in the book. Both the accumulation and displacement between various pseudonyms or characters and the reclaiming of hate speech are shown as strategies of engagement with strong political overtones.

JEAN-PHILIPPE RAMEAU: SCIENTIFIC THINKER AND WELL-ROUNDED MUSICIAN

Author(s): Rossella Marisi / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Jean-Philippe Rameau is today best known for his endeavours as a composer for the harpsichord, but in eighteenth-century France he was considered a real genius, due to the variety of his interests in acoustics, music theory, music pedagogy, and his success as a composer of diverse music genres. This study aims to highlight the connections between some works he authored over a fifteen-year period: on the one hand, Rameau’s treatises expressing his scientific thought, such as Traité, Nouveau système, and Génération harmonique, and, on the other, his musical works reflecting his music aesthetics, such as the Piéces de clavecin and the opera Castor et Pollux.

DINASTIILE DE MUZICIENI DIN REPUBLICA MOLDOVA

Author(s): Aurelia Simion / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Although the meaning of the word dynasty refers to a family whose members "inherit the succession to the leadership of a state" (DEX), the second explanation is "a succession of personalities of the same family." In this case I would make a difference between dynasty, whose members succeed each other for at least three generations and families whose members are brothers, parents and children, uncles and grandchildren, cousins, etc., so they are part of the same generation or two respectively. Many families of musicians are known in the history of music whose contribution through their talent, mastery and devotion occupies an important place in the evolution of the art of sounds such as: Couperin, Bach, Hartmann, Stamitz, Kozeluch, Strauss etc. In Romania there are known families of musicians such as Caudella, Dumitrescu, Mandisevschi, Burada, Wachmann, Gheorghiu, etc. In the Republic of Moldova, through the personal contribution to the composition and performing arts, the Neaga, Bivol, Rusnac, Buinovschi families stood out. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the members of the Caftanat, Pocitari, Botgos, Ștefaneț, Advahov dynasties, to note the plurivalence and main features of their art activity and to analyze the similarities and differences between families, while synthesizing the information obtained. The text will contain brief biographical details about each one, the focus being, however, on the important achievements of the most representative members.
