Toward a Theory of Patronage: Funding for Music Composition in France, 1918-1939Epstein, Louis Kaiser January 2013 (has links)
This dissertation illuminates the funding contexts that structured art music composition in interwar France. While music historiography tends to focus solely on patronage - an ill-defined and limited category - as the paradigmatic economy within which pre-paid composition takes place, I bring patronage into conversation with other, similarly enabling funding sources: publishing, radio, film, orchestras, and ballet companies. Through a series of case studies of the individuals, institutions, and practices that provided a market for interwar French art music, I pursue two central ideas: first, that musical works, genres, and styles present sonic traces of the economic forces that structured their composition, and second, that the funding context of music often determines its historiographical reception. The rich musical landscape of interwar France provides a unique setting through which to explore these ideas. Between a remarkable flowering of artistic movements, the rapid proliferation of new media for cultural expression, and steadily increasing institutional involvement in music composition and performance, we can observe a remarkable context of wealth and power exerting a significant impact on the practices of music composition and performance. In order to theorize patronage in the broader context of funding for music composition, I explore the conventions of individual, aristocratic patronage, focusing on commissions as contractual exchanges and as reflective of the "collections" to which they belong, both for patrons and composers. While the state lagged far behind individual patrons in terms of direct commissions to composers, it nevertheless found numerous ways to intervene in musical culture in the hope of stimulating the market for art music composition, particularly with respect to symphonic music. The clear-cut patronage of aristocratic individuals and public ministries contrasts sharply with the ambiguous roles played by the leaders of three influential ballet companies (Ballets Suedois, Soirees de Paris, Ballets Ida Rubinstein) whose competition with the Ballets Russes engendered precisely the market for new French music that the state sought vainly to encourage. Through my study of these ballet companies and of the business correspondence of Darius Milhaud, I show that rather than constraining or corrupting creativity, many sources of funding not ordinarily considered "patronage" nevertheless freed composers to pursue experimental avenues and enrich musical culture, in their time and in ours. / Music

The Influence of the Reformed Jewish Movement and Religious Belief on Text-Setting in Darius Milhaud's Service SacréSilverman, Gregory Carmine January 2013 (has links)
The music and texts of the Jewish liturgy are commonly called the Sacred Service. Choral settings of this liturgy form a distinct genre of choral music. Despite the rich history and influence of the text itself, relatively few composers have set it chorally. Among the two most influential settings are Avodath Hakodesh (1933) by Ernest Bloch and Darius Milhaud’s Service sacré (Sacred Service) of 1947. Temple Emanu-El Reformed Congregation in San Francisco commissioned both under the leadership of Cantor Reuben Rinder, and the two pieces have many similarities. The focus of the present research is on expressive text-setting in the Service sacré of Darius Milhaud. My research suggests that study of Milhaud’s personal beliefs and religious background can help explain some of the composer’s compositional decisions in Service sacré. Milhaud’s background includes deep roots in the Jewish tradition, but he also shows a keen appreciation for aspects of Christian theology. Prior to this study, Milhaud’s intent to expressively set the text has not been thoroughly considered. Particularly interesting are his settings of texts that deal with themes such as salvation and redemption, including movements such as Tsur Yisrael (Mvt. V), Praised be Thou, O Lord (Mvt. VI), and Returning the Scroll to the Ark (Mvt. XII). These topics of salvation and redemption are usually deemphasized in the Reformed Jewish perspective. Yet, in Milhaud’s work, these portions are highlighted through his compositional settings.

Idées, espoir et grande illusion : quand le compositeur s'engageDescheneaux, Audrée 03 1900 (has links)
La version intégrale de cette thèse est disponible uniquement pour consultation individuelle à la Bibliothèque de musique de l’Université de Montréal (www.bib.umontreal.ca/MU). / Cette étude porte sur la musique de film des années 1930 en France, durant la décennie qui a vu naître et évoluer le cinéma parlant. Le cinéma de cette période y est appréhendé à travers son statut artistique et son rôle dans la transmission des idées. Dans le contexte de la crise économique et des bouleversements politiques et internationaux qui sévissent, les années 1930 offrent aux artistes, écrivains et compositeurs français, une opportunité de redéfinir leur rôle dans la cité, en intervenant à travers un médium nouveau. Ces circonstances, propices à la définition d’un nouvel engagement en arts, guident le choix de trois films à partir desquels sont analysées les contributions musicales et la démarche du compositeur en lien avec ses motivations et ses attentes face au cinéma. En se penchant sur l’aspect musical de ces films, l’auteure cherche à dégager le rôle de la musique au sein des processus de communication artistiques, dans le but de comprendre les moyens avec lesquels le compositeur défend ses idées tout en collaborant à celles du réalisateur. À quel point l’engagement du compositeur s’arrime-t-il à la réalité de l’industrie cinématographique? À quel point la musique permet-elle l’expression des idées au sein d’un art dont elle n’est qu’une composante? C’est à ces questionnements que cette recherche a voulu donner voix, tout en faisant une place privilégiée à la musique elle-même. / The subject of the present study is film soundtracks from the 1930s in France. The music under examination originated during a decade which saw the birth and early development of talking films. French cinematographic productions from this period are examined on the basis of their artistic status and their role in the transmission of ideas. The pandemic economic crisis, combined with international political upheavals, were actual incentives for artists, writers, and composers to redefine their societal role through an innovative artistic medium, and to give voice to new types of artistic engagement. The choice of the three cinematographic works in this study is based on these conditions; their soundtracks are analyzed in relation to composers’ motivations and expectations of what cinema had to offer them. By closely examining the musical components of these films, the author also aims to define the ways in which music, among other artistic communication processes, was a vehicle for composers to defend their own ideas while endorsing those of a film’s director and/or producer. At what point does the composer’s personal engagement coincide with the requirements of the film industry during the period under examination? What are the limitations of the musical expression of ideas, in the context of an art form in which music was only a component part? These questions are at the heart of this study, with the music itself as the primary focus of research.

Tanztheater und filmische Ästhetik. Cineastische Einflüsse und Gestaltungsweisen in den Kompositionen für die Ballets Suédois 1920–1925Kolb, Fabian 29 October 2020 (has links)
The central role that avant-garde music and dance theatre played in the interplay and synthesis of the arts and media in the 1920s, particularly in Paris, is well known. However, the creative potential of ballet has hardly been recognized in its manifold relationships with film and cinematic-inspired expression. The extent to which especially ballet music interacted with the latest cinematographic principles and techniques and referred to cinematic aesthetics in a variety of ways can instructively be seen regarding the productions of the Ballets Suédois. This is discussed in this article with an exemplary look at Les Mariés de la Tour Eiffel (1921), Within the Quota (1923), Skating Rink (1922) and Relâche (1924). By that it becomes clear that the transmedia inclusion of cinematographic ideas not only inspired the vocabulary of avant-garde dance and modern choreography, but was also distinctively reflected in the conception and composition of film-affected music.
