Mutations esthétiques, mais continuité technique dans l’œuvre de Pierre Boulez / Esthetics evolutions, but technical continuity in Pierre Boulez’ works

Tissier, Brice 19 October 2011 (has links)
L’œuvre musicale de Pierre Boulez est l’une des œuvres majeures de la seconde moitié du vingtième siècle. Celle-ci a évolué entre 1945 et 2008 conjointement avec les écrits de Boulez, dans lesquels sa réflexion traite, successivement, les différents aspects de son langage : la théorie entre 1948 et 1963, puis l’esthétique entre 1963 et 1995.Le premier livre de cette thèse traite des évolutions esthétiques de Boulez. Les deux analyses proposées dans le second livre, consacrées aux deux groupes d’œuvres Domaines/Dialogue de l’ombre double et Anthèmes/Anthèmes 2, ont pour objectif de démontrer la complexité toujours présente ainsi que la rigueur de la démarche compositionnelle de Boulez à la lumière des esquisses, nonobstant une simplicité apparente des éléments constitutifs. / Pierre Boulez’s musical compositions are one of the most important compositions in the second half of the twentieth century. They moved a lot between 1945 and 2008 together with his written works, in which his thought deals successively with the different aspects of his language : the theory between 1948 and 1963, then the esthetics between 1963 and 1995.The first part of this doctoral dissertation deals with Boulez’s esthetic evolutions. The two analyses in the second part – devoted to Domaines/Dialogue de l’ombre double and Anthèmes/Anthèmes 2 – aim at demonstrating in the light of the sketches the complexity and the rigour of Boulez’s reasoning when he composes, although the constituents seem apparently simple.

Mutations esthétiques, mais continuité technique dans l'oeuvre de Pierre Boulez

Tissier, Brice 10 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 (http://www.bib.umontreal.ca/MU). / L’œuvre musicale de Pierre Boulez est l’une des œuvres majeures de la seconde moitié du vingtième siècle. Celle-ci a évolué entre 1945 et 2008 conjointement avec les écrits de Boulez, dans lesquels sa réflexion traite, successivement, les différents aspects de son langage : la théorie entre 1948 et 1963, puis l’esthétique entre 1963 et 1995. Cette évolution, les enjeux et les contours de l’œuvre musicale de Boulez ne pouvaient être envisagés par la seule étude des œuvres officiellement acceptées. Il était nécessaire d’étudier l’ensemble des compositions secondaires, achevées ou non, reconnues ou non, de même que l’ensemble des versions successives pour chaque œuvre ; cette démarche a donc nécessité la collecte et l’analyse de l’ensemble de ces sources. Depuis 1986, les archives de Boulez sont contractuellement destinées à la Fondation Paul Sacher de Bâle, cependant de nombreuses sources, esquisses, manuscrits et correspondances restent dispersés, voire perdus. C’est le cas notamment des œuvres de jeunesse, ainsi que des œuvres récentes dont les fonds n’ont pas encore été déposés à la Fondation. Cette thèse est avant toute chose une thèse d’analyse. Au regard des travaux déjà existants, nous avons choisi de restreindre notre corpus d’œuvres aux compositions des deux périodes 1945-1949, puis 1965-2008, à la fois extrêmes et représentatives de l’évolution esthétique et scripturaires de Boulez. En fonction de la disponibilité des sources, nous avons privilégié une approche poïétique inductive, pour reprendre l’idée de la tripartition, dans le cadre de la sémiologie musicale telle qu’élaborée par Jean Molino et Jean-Jacques Nattiez au milieu des années 1970, c’est-à-dire avec pour seul support la ou les partitions disponibles (Répons, Initiale, Incises et sur Incises), ou une approche poïétique externe, c'est-à-dire de reconstitution, à l’aide des esquisses, des processus compositionnels (œuvres de jeunesse, Dérive 2, Domaines, Dialogue de l’ombre double, Anthèmes, Anthèmes 2). Le premier livre de cette thèse traite des évolutions esthétiques de Boulez. Les deux analyses proposées dans le second livre, consacrées aux deux groupes d’œuvres Domaines/Dialogue de l’ombre double et Anthèmes/Anthèmes 2, ont pour objectif de démontrer la complexité toujours présente ainsi que la rigueur de la démarche compositionnelle de Boulez à la lumière des esquisses, nonobstant une simplicité apparente des éléments constitutifs. Nous espérons que notre travail contribuera à clarifier la construction progressive du langage de Boulez, ainsi que la perception de ses œuvres. / Pierre Boulez’s musical compositions are one of the most important compositions in the second half of the twentieth century. They moved a lot between 1945 and 2008 together with his written works, in which his thought deals successively with the different aspects of his language : the theory between 1948 and 1963, then the esthetics between 1963 and 1995. Studying only the officially accepted works is not sufficient to understand this evolution, the issues and the outlines of Boulez’s music. It was necessary to study all the compositions of secondary importance - even if they were not finished or recognized - and all the successive versions of each work ; that’s why all these sources had to be collected and analyzed. It has been contractually intended since 1986 that the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel should have Boulez’s archives, however many sources, sketches, manuscripts and mails are still scattered or lost. That is what happened to some early works and some recent works that have not been registered in the Foundation yet. This doctoral dissertation is above all a work of analysis. From the viewpoint of the works that have already been done, I chose to restrict my study to the compositions of two periods – 1945-1949 and then 1965-2008 – which are extreme and representative of the evolution of Boulez’s esthetic and composition. According to the sources’ availability, I favored an approach called “poïétique inductive” – to take up again the idea of “tripartition” – within the context of music semiology as it was elaborated by Jean Molino1 and Jean-Jacques Nattiez2 in the middle of the seventies, that is to say by studying only the available scores – Répons, Initiale, Incises and sur Incises- or an approach called “poïetique externe”, that is to say by reconstituting with sketches processes of composition (early works, Dérives 2, Domaines, Dialogue de l’ombre double, Anthèmes, Anthèmes 2). The first part of this doctoral dissertation deals with Boulez’s esthetic evolutions. The two analyses in the second part – devoted to Domaines/Dialogue de l’ombre double and Anthèmes/Anthèmes 2 – aim at demonstrating in the light of the sketches the complexity and the rigour of Boulez’s reasoning when he composes, although the constituents seem apparently simple. I hope that this work will contribute to making clearer the gradual construction of Boulez’s language and the perception of his works.

Culturally Identifying the Performance Practices of Astor Piazzolla's Second Quinteto

Link, Kacey Quin 01 January 2009 (has links)
Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) captivated Argentine and international audiences with his innovative works in a nuevo tango style and his bandoneón performances. Piazzolla?s success culminated during the 1980s with his second Quinteto, which performed remarkable concerts in venues such as the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires and the Central Park Bandshell in New York, in addition to the performances at the Montreal and Montreux Jazz Festivals. His music also grew popular with a plethora of internationally acclaimed classical and jazz artists as well as with Argentine musicians themselves. However, Piazzolla?s music poses a challenge today, because nuevo tango represents a synthesis of the composer?s musical and cultural backgrounds, conjoining the tango legacy of Buenos Aires, the jazz idioms that he absorbed in New York, and the international traditions of classical music. Many musicians, specifically those from the United States, perform and study nuevo tango without having sufficient prerequisite knowledge of these practices, causing the genre to lose its cultural substance. By considering the fusion of tango, jazz, and classical genres and incorporating a cross-cultural analysis, this thesis aims to illuminate the basis of Piazzolla?s performance practices. It seeks to identify the yeites (tango instrumental techniques) that define nuevo tango and to suggest ways that the modern performer can incorporate these stylistic features to produce culturally informed interpretations of Piazzolla?s works. This study focuses on the practices of Piazzolla?s second Quinteto, at the pinnacle of his career, and emphasizes a gestural analysis of the yeites to produce a well-grounded concept of nuevo tango sound. This study concludes that, even though Piazzolla?s compositions represented a fusion of genres, the performance practices (and specifically the gestures) of the second Quinteto are primarily associated with the tango traditions of previous eras. Such gestures embody Piazzolla?s music and thus allow contemporary performers to recreate the evocative and persuasive characteristics of nuevo tango practices today.
