Master of Music / School of Music, Theatre and Dance / Augustin Muriago / This lecture-recital presents five pieces from the first two books of Elisenda Fabregas’ Album for the Young. These intermediate-level pieces are written in styles ranging from Renaissance to Modern periods. The goal in presenting these works is to analyze what technical and musical skills they develop, suggest ways to teach these pieces, and to explore their interaction with more traditional teaching repertoire. The lecture-recital presents—pedagogical exercises developed to target specific skills needed to play these pieces; performance practice for each genre represented; and finally, pairs each piece with pieces by Bartok, Bach, Czerny, Kahlua, Clementi, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, and Debussy. The works of Fabregas were chosen to promote the work of women composers and to expand the teaching repertoire that students and teachers are exposed to.

abstract: ABSTRACT Emilie Mayer (1812-1883) was a prolific composer whose musical works, which encompassed eight symphonies, four overtures, an opera, dozens of sonatas, eight string quartets, solo piano works, and nearly 130 songs for solo voice or vocal quartet, were performed in the foremost concert halls in Berlin and across Germany. She studied with lauded teachers: Carl Loewe (1796-1869), Adolph Bernhard Marx (1795-1866), and Wilhelm Wieprecht (1802-1872). Her talent was applauded by audiences and critics wrote favorably, despite their reservations about women composers. However, even with this unusual pedigree, Mayer’s works nearly disappeared from concert stages after her death. How did this happen? This study aims to answer this question and will delve into Emilie Mayer’s life and works in context with the prejudices against female composers at the time, in order to determine how those biases have shaped the classical canon. Included is an in-depth stylistic analysis of Mayer’s surviving seven Lieder, along-side comparisons to similar works of other composers. In addition, appendices present Mayer’s remaining Lieder in a new, modernized edition, with selected songs transposed for better accessibility for lower voices. Relative lack of female representation in modern-day concert halls and music history books correlates to previous misconceptions of female composers. Studying the works of Emilie Mayer will support her addition to the classical repertoire, help correct the male-gendered canon that persists, and help modern female composers realize their history is not confined to a footnote. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2020

O objetivo do presente trabalho é demonstrar como se estabeleceram as relações de gênero nos processos de criação musical ao longo da história, e a oposição das mulheres compositoras em relação à dominação masculina, termo cunhado por Pierre Bourdieu, trazendo à tona questões como a visão androcêntrica, legitimadora das práticas de submissão feminina, bem como a dominação simbólica, pela qual as mulheres incorporam as relações de poder e reconhecem a sua submissão a um agente dominante. Ao analisar os papéis sociais desempenhados pelas mulheres, identifica-se que suas práticas cotidianas estão calcadas na visão androcêntrica, e que a estrutura patriarcal está presente tanto na esfera social como na esfera política e econômica. Ao longo da dissertação, foram também abordadas questões relacionadas à temática de gênero, através da análise de literaturas em outros campos do conhecimento humano. Em face ao alijamento da mulher na criação musical, detectar as composições ditas do universo feminino traz uma grande contribuição para a história da música e análise musical. Partindo do referencial da nova história, cuja contribuição consiste em questionar as categorias de dominação a partir das quais a história foi constituída, surge a questão: como analisar o contexto histórico musical partindo da experiência composicional feminina? Sobre a questão, é oportuno mencionar o que Joan Scott ressalta: que, ao se incluir à história a versão feminina, tem-se um novo entendimento daquela que os historiadores apontavam como a verdade total. Nesse sentido, Pilar López e Lucy Green também defendem que a mulher teve uma trajetória de muita luta para compor gêneros musicais que não aqueles preestabelecidos pela sociedade dominadora, ou seja, para criar obras ditas complexas, atividade que era considerada própria do universo masculino. Apesar dos obstáculos que a mulher teve de enfrentar no âmbito da criação musical, e de muitas compositoras terem criado peças ligadas mais à educação musical ou canções para poucos instrumentos, como piano e canto, algumas delas conseguiram compor obras mais complexas. / The purpose of this work is to demonstrate how gender relations were established in the musical creation processes throughout history, as well as the opposition of women composers against male domination, a term dealt by Pierre Bourdieu, bringing up issues like androcentric view, legitimizing practices of female submission, as symbolic domination, in which women incorporate power relations and recognize their submission to a dominant agent. Investigating roles played by women, some identifies that their quotidian practices are grounded in this androcentric sight, and that the patriarchal structure is present as in social as in political and economical spheres. All over the text, issues related to the theme of gender were also approached, through the analysis of literature in other fields of human knowledge. In light of women\'s casting off in musical creation, detecting compositions said to be part of feminine universe brings up a great contribution to the History of Music and Musical Analysis. As from the referential of New History, whose contribution consists in objecting the domination categories from which history was built, the question arises: How to analyze historical and musical context from the female compositional experience? About the question, it\'s appropriate to mention what Joan Scott emphasize, that, by including the female version of the history, one has a new understanding in spite of that the historians pointed as the whole truth. In this way, Pilar López and Lucy Green also defend that women have had a trajectory of hard struggle to compose musical genres other than those predetermined by the domineering society, that is, to create works said complexes, an activity that was considered proper to male universe. Despite the obstacles that women faced under the musical creation, and many composers have created more connected parts to music education or songs for a few instruments such as piano and singing, some of them managed to compose more complex works.
