The nature of the relationship between music and theology according to Oskar Söhngen and Oliver Messiaen /

Epstein, Heidi January 1990 (has links)
This dissertation investigates a "universal" question--what the exact nature of the relationship between music and theology is--by examining two particulars: (1) the music and thought of the French Roman Catholic composer Olivier Messiaen, and (2) the theology of music of Protestant theologian/musicologist Oskar Sohngen. / It should be emphasized, however, that the main focus of the paper is upon the "particulars," since the primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the remarkable similarity of thought which exists between the theory of Sohngen and the musical practice of Messiaen. After an exposition of Sohngen's three categories of relationship between music and theology (music as science, as worship, and as creatura) there is an extensive examination of Messiaen's compositional techniques which reveals the latter's implicit use of these same three categories. / In the final chapter of this work, after a discussion of several problems which are inherent in each of the particular approaches to music and theology, there is a return to the universal question, in response to which a precise, working definition is finally established.

O percurso da intersecção Olivier Messiaen-Almeida Prado = Momentos, La Fauvette des Jardins e Cartas Celestes / The route of the intersection Olivier Messiaen-Almeida Prado : Momentos, La Fauvette des Jardins and Cartas Celestes

Acreditando-se que ela se manifesta também no campo musical, o presente trabalho traz uma amostra concreta de uma intersecção em música ao centrar-se na relação entre Almeida Prado e Olivier Messiaen, tendo por objetivo principal revelar algumas das potências sonoras absorvidas na formação do compositor paulista no período em que ele foi aluno de Messiaen, entre 1969 e 1973, e postas a campo na escrita da sua peça para piano solo Cartas Celestes I, de 1974. Para tanto, foi feito um estudo analítico comparativo entre essa peça e as peças para piano solo VI Momentos, 2º caderno de 1969, também de Almeida Prado, e La Fauvette dês Jardins, 1971, de Olivier Messiaen. Dentre os resultados obtidos, percebeu-se que na escrita da peça de 1969, além de Almeida Prado apresentar uma exploração textural com a qual se pôde fazer um paralelo com o ciclo de peças para piano de Villa-Lobos Prole do Bebê nº 2, o compositor paulista demonstrava um conhecimento prévio de alguns conceitos da música do seu futuro professor francês, em especial com a técnica aplicada por Messiaen em Vingt Regards sur L'Énfant-Jésus, peça para piano solo de 1944. Em Cartas Celestes I, peça posterior ao período de estudos de Almeida Prado na França, encontraram-se diferenças com o 2º caderno de Momentos de 1969 e semelhanças com a peça de Messiaen analisada, La Fauvette des Jardins, comprovando a hipótese de que houve mudanças significativas na escrita musical do compositor paulista no período. Além disso, foi possível traçar intersecções na peça de Almeida Prado de 1974 com a produção de Ligeti, de Murail e de Gaussin. Como conclusão, percebeu-se que a intersecção Olivier Messiaen-Almeida Prado se apresenta de maneira rizomática, caracterizada pelas múltiplas conexões, pela decalcomania e pela irreprodutibilidade do rizoma presentes nas Cartas Celestes I que fazem com que esta peça se torne única, insubstituível e original em seu contexto histórico e dentro do processo de formação do compositor paulista / Abstract: An intersection is a nonreproducible connection of a multiplicity of lines consisting by the most varied immanences in the World. Giving credit that it also manifests in the musical field, the present study shows a concrete sample of the intersection in music by centering itself into the relationship between Almeida Prado and Olivier Messiaen, aiming to disclose some of the sonorous potencies absorbed by the Brazilian composer during the period in which he was Messiaen's pupil, from 1969 to 1973, and put into practice while composing his piano solo piece Cartas Celestes I, from 1974. Therefore, a comparative analytical study has been done between the above mentioned piece, the piano solo pieces VI Momentos, 2nd book - 1969, also by Almeida Prado and La Fauvette des Jardins, 1971, by Olivier Messiaen. Amongst the obtained results, it has been noticed that in the compositional writing of the 1969 piece, Almeida Prado presented a textural exploration with which a parallel with Villa-Lobos cycle of pieces for piano Prole do Bebê nº 2 can be done. Furthermore, the Brazilian composer demonstrated a previous knowledge of some concepts of his future French teacher's musical production, especially from the technique applied by Messiaen in Vingt Regards sur L'Enfant-Jesus, piano solo piece from 1944. In Cartas Celestes I, piece that is subsequent to Almeida Prado's studies in France, there were found differences from the 2nd book of Momentos from 1969 and resemblances with the analyzed Messiaen's piece, La Fauvette des Jardins, proving the hypothesis that there were significant changes in the musical writing of the Brazilian composer in the period. Moreover, it was possible to trace the intersections in the piece of Almeida Prado from 1974 with the production of Ligeti, of Gaussin and of Murail. Hence, it has been identified that the intersection Olivier Messiaen-Almeida Prado presents itself in a rhizomatic way, characterized by the multiple connections, by the decalcomania and by the rhizome's non reproductability, all presented in Cartas Celestes I making it unique, irreplaceable and original in its historical context and within the Brazilian composer's developing process / Doutorado / Fundamentos Teoricos / Doutor em Música

Tracing Messiaen in Naji Hakim's Le Tombeau d'Olivier Messiaen

Lee, Hye-Young 12 1900 (has links)
Olivier Messiaen and Naji Hakim are both representative composers of the twentieth century. For the performer this "modern" music is difficult to analyze because of the increased complexities of its harmonic language. Therefore the purpose of this study is to demonstrate a way to approach Naji Hakim's Le Tombeau d'Olivier Messiaen through Messiaen's own musical language. This study examines how Hakim has borrowed Messiaen's theory and used it in his own piece. Chapter I outlines the purpose and motive of this study. Chapter II briefly outlines the piece, introduces the meaning of Tombeau in music history, and presents Messiaen's modes of limited transposition, one of the main sources used in the composition of Le Tombeau d'Olivier Messiaen. Chapter III details Messiaen's influence in Hakim's piece. This influence consists of four elements: melody, mode, harmony, and extra-musical ideas. This chapter is the primary portion of the document. After examining the influence of Messiaen, a conclusion of this study is offered in Chapter IV. Four appendixes are attached to this document: an interview with Naji Hakim about Le Tombeau d'Olivier Messiaen; the modes of limited transposition in Le Tombeau d'Olivier Messiaen; a biographical sketch of Naji Hakim; and program notes from Le Tombeau d'Olivier Messiaen.

A dialética das temporalidades na performance musical : uma interpretação de Cantéyodjayâ de Oliver Messiaen

Almeida, Maurício Zamith January 2013 (has links)
Esta tese parte da premissa de que, na tradição da musica ocidental escrita, a performance restitui a obra musical ao tempo e o intérprete, responsável por esse processo, deve compreender profundamente as temporalidades propostas pela obra para, assim, planejar criteriosamente o fluxo dos seus eventos. Para isso, é necessário que o processo de construção interpretativa se desenvolva em simultaneidade e constante diálogo com dados decorrentes do estudo analítico da obra estudada e da percepção estésica do intérprete que, em sua prática diária, projeta e avalia em si mesmo o efeito pretendido. Com base nesse modelo, foi realizado um estudo interpretativo e analítico de Cantéyodjayâ para piano de Olivier Messiaen, compositor que, por meio de sua obra musical, seus textos teóricos e sua atividade pedagógica, teve importante impacto nas discussões a respeito do tempo na música do século XX. O primeiro capítulo da tese, Cantéyodjayâ contextualizada, posiciona Cantéyodjayâ no contexto da obra de Messiaen, especialmente no que se refere ao período de experimentação no qual se insere. O segundo capítulo, No princípio era o ritmo: o tempo musical em Messiaen, trata dos conceitos filosóficos e teológicos que apoiaram o pensamento rítmico-temporal em Messiaen e suas correspondências com procedimentos composicionais adotados pelo compositor. O terceiro capítulo, Análise e construção interpretativa em Cantéyodjayâ, apresenta o estudo analítico de Cantéyodjayâ articulado a decisões interpretativas. Compuseram a fundamentação deste capítulo os textos teóricos do compositor, em especial Technique de mon langage musical (1944) e Traité de rythme, de couleur et d’ornithologie (1994), articulados a conceitos apresentados por autores como J. Kramer (1988), W. Berry (1997) e J. Straus (2005). / This thesis assumes that performance brings a musical score to life by presenting it in real time. The performer – who is in charge of this process – must understand the complex relationships between rhythm and conceptual pacing of a particular work in order to plan the flow of events. Threrefore, the interpretive construction must be constantly supported by data from both the analytical investigation and the aesthetic perception. The performer in his daily practice designs the desired effect and evalutes the outcome. Based on this notion, an interpretive and analytical study was done about Cantéyodjayâ by Olivier Messiaen, a composer whose compositional output, theoretical writings and pedagogical activities have impacted the concept of time in the twentieth century music. The first chapter of this thesis, Cantéyodjayâ contextualizada, contextualizes Cantéyodjayâ in the entire oeuvre of Messiaen, especially within his experimental period. The second chapter, No princípio era o ritmo: o tempo musical em Messiaen, deals with philosophical and theological concepts based in Messiaen’s rhythmic thought, as well as its connections to the compositional procedures adopted by Messiaen. The third chapter, Análise e construção interpretativa em Cantéyodjayâ, presents an analytical study of Cantéyodjayâ linked to the interpretive choices. This last chapter is based on Messiaen’s theoretical writings, especially Technique de mon langage musical (1944) and Traité de rythme, de couleur et d’ornithologie (1994); it is also connected to the concepts presented by J. Kramer (1988), W. Berry (1997) e J. Straus (2005).

Teologická mystika a symbolismus v díle "Méditations sur le Mystére de la Sainte Trinité" Oliviera Messiaena / Theological Mysticism and Symbolism in the Piece "Méditations sur le Mystere de la Sainte Trinité" by Olivier Messiaen

Salvová, Pavla January 2013 (has links)
The general attribute of Olivier Messiaen´s music is not only his specific musical language, which experiments with time, rhythm, colour, finds inspiration in birdsong, Gregorian chant and music of the exotic lands, but mainly the existence of a non-musical message. The first part of my thesis is introductory. It includes the description of Messiaen´s life and early musical influences, the nature of his musical style, his general musical aims, and an overview of his most important works. In the centre of my effort is the thematic analysis of Messiaen´s late organ cycle Méditations sur le Mystère de la Sainte Trinité (Meditations on the Mystery of the Holy Trinity). That is preceded with an introduction of the background of the piece, sources of inspiration and symbolism used. The main aim is to explore the complexity of Messiaen´s musical and thematic thinking, and to understand the message of the musical material.

Olivier Messiaen a jeho varhanní tvorba / Olivier Messiaen and his organ works

Zahrádková, Marie January 2014 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with a prominent French composer, organist and pedagogue Olivier Messiaen and his organ works. The first part of the thesis brings relevant biographic information on the composer, overview of his works, compositional inspiration and specifies facets and components of Messiaens?s musical language (rhythm, harmony, melody, forms). In the following part, the focus of the thesis shifts to organ works: not merely to composition techniques but primarily to more thorough analysis of particular sheet music ? not however from the traditional musical-analytic perspective, but rather from outside-of-music, often theological context. The main goal of the thesis is to gain an insight into the core of Messiaens?s composition techniques, inspirations and motivations through the understanding of his music language as well as his life and philosophical perspectives. Uniqueness of this creator will be demonstrated by the analysis of the Gregorian melodies, Bible quotations and liturgical texts of the pieces ?Priere avant la communio? and ?La Nativité du Seigneur.?
