Jamey Guzman and Ari Schwartz Receive the 2022 Austin B. Caswell Award

Posted on May 2, 2022 by sjensvol

The IU Musicology Department would like to congratulate Jamey Guzman and Ari Schwartz on being awarded the 2022 Austin B. Caswell Award! Each spring, the Caswell award recognizes the excellent research and writing being done by undergraduate students in the IU Jacobs School of Music. It was established in 1998 in honor of Dr. Caswell, a devoted teacher and member of the musicology faculty at Indiana University from 1966 until his retirement in 1996.

Jamey J. Guzman is a rising senior pursuing B.M. degrees in Flute Performance and Music Composition. As a composer, Jamey is deeply passionate about contemporary opera and vocal music, and strives to use the unique power of the human voice to tell necessary stories of today’s people with excitingly experimental, innovative, and interdisciplinary techniques. Her paper, “The Accademia degli Incogniti: Roots of Misogyny in Seventeenth-Century Opera,” revisits and rethinks key moments in Western music history. It offers a model example for reexamination of gender representation in two libretti from a foundational collective of 17th century Venetian opera creators. The committee admired Guzman’s efforts to transcend mere reporting on scholarship. Her careful analysis of primary sources, strong framing with secondary sources, and an original and confident scholarly voice help us see the early years of opera in a new light.

Recently, Jamey’s work has been featured at the N.E.O. Voice Festival in Los Angeles as well as at Really Spicy Opera’s concert at the Fondation des États-Unis in Paris. She has been commissioned by New Voices Opera for their 2022 mainstage event, Strange Trace Opera for their 2022 Stencils Festival, and SONIT for a new flute work which will premiere in New York City in the summer. She looks forward to her upcoming summer residency with Nightingale Opera Theater, where she will study with Jake Heggie and have her chamber opera and two aria collections performed. Jamey is a flute student of Kate Lukas, whose guidance and support led her to specialize in contemporary chamber music and take on dozens of student composition premieres each year; she cites this deep exposure to myriad musical styles as a core inspiration in her own work. She has studied composition with Don Freund, Tansy Davies, and P.Q. Phan, as well as with John Gibson and Chi Wang in the IU Center for Electronic and Computer Music.

Ariel Sol “Ari” Bertulfo Schwartz is pursuing B.M. degrees in Harp Performance and Music Composition. Through his music, Ari aims to create community through person-oriented performance experiences. His dedication to the human experience is also reflected in his academic writing. His paper, “Spanish Colonial Era Filipino Music as an Interpretive Process”, interrogates ideas of musical hybridity by re-examining colonial encounters in the Philippines. Rather than assuming indigenous Filipino music to assimilate smoothly into Spanish musical practices, Schwartz argues for a different musical dynamic: of Spanish imposition followed by Filipino reaction. This different approach to intercultural contact acknowledges the complexity of colonialism, while offering an alternative view on the content and development of traditionalism in Filipino music. The committee particularly admired Schwartz’s creativity in building an argument through diverse and interesting primary sources.

As an internationally recognized composer, producer, and harpist, Ari is at the cutting edge of musical arts. A 2022 Performance Today Young Artist in Residence, he thoroughly enjoys interdisciplinary work and strives to dismantle traditional accessibility barriers to diversify both the stage and audience. Ari studies with professors Jeremy Podgursky (composition) and Elzbieta Szmyt (harp). He is a winner of the USA International Harp Competition Ruth Inglefield Composition Contest and his compositions and commissioned works have been performed in such places as the Peoria Civic Center, Grant Park Music Festival’s Music in the Parks Series, and Dominican University’s Lund Auditorium. Through his synthesis of experiences and identities, Ari brings a genre-defying, multimedia approach to contemporary performance practices.

IU to Host Anna Maria Busse Berger for Inaugural Peter Burkholder Lecture on April 1

Posted on March 23, 2022 by sjensvol

Next week, the IU Musicology Department will host Anna Maria Busse Berger, Distinguished Professor Emerita of Medieval and Renaissance History and Theory at the University of California Davis, as she visits Bloomington to deliver the Inaugural Peter Burkholder Lecture, established in May 2019 in honor of Distinguished Professor Emerita J. Peter Burkholder and in celebration of his retirement. The event will take place in Ford Hall (located in the Simon Music Center) on Friday, April 1, at 12:30 pm. Her talk, titled “Bruno Gutmann, the WaChagga, and Jugendbewegung,” will present her research on the work of the most important German missionary and ethnographer active in East Africa in the first half of the twentieth century. See abstract below.

Anna Maria Busse Berger she served on the music faculty at UC Davis from 1989 through her retirement in 2020. Busse Berger has published articles and books on notation, mensuration and proportion signs, music and memory, mathematics and music, historiography, and music in African mission stations. Her article “Spreading the Gospel of Singbewegung: An Ethnomusicologist-Missionary in Tanganyika of the 1930s” won both the Colin Slim Award for best article by a senior scholar from the AMS and the Bruno Nettl Prize from the Society for Ethnomusicology in 2014. Her book In Search of Medieval Music in Africa and Germany: Scholars, Singers and Missionaries 1891–1961 was published by University of Chicago Press in 2020.

This event is co-sponsored by the Jacobs School of Music Lecture Committee, the Department of History, the Department of Germanic Studies, the African Studies Program, the Institute for European Studies, and the Department of Musicology.

Please email musicol@indiana.edu with questions or for more information.

 


Abstract: “Bruno Gutmann, the Chagga, and Jugendbewegung”

Bruno Gutmann (1876-1966) was the most important German missionary/ethnographer active in East Africa in the first half of the twentieth century.  His stay in Tanzania falls into two periods: 1902-1920 and 1926-1938. In addition to translating the New Testament into Chagga, he wrote numerous studies of Chagga law and society.

Even though Gutmann was not a trained musicologist, his views on church music in the mission field are of great importance.  Why was he so skillful in preserving Chagga culture, but did not advocate introduction of local music into the service?  In his first years, he and his colleagues introduced the Lutheran chorale mainly because for them local music was morally not acceptable since it was invariably linked to dance and rituals which they found repulsive.

However, when he returned to Germany in the 1920s his views changed radically: he fell under the spell of Jugendmusik and Singbewegung which promoted a sense of Gemeinschaft by means of communal singing of folk music and early music, particularly medieval music. They sought an escape from modernity in “primitive” cultures.  Most of the German musicologists in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s were members of the movement (Heinrich Besseler, Friedrich Blume, Konrad Ameln, etc.). When Gutmann returned to Germany in 1920 he was received by them with open arms:  he talked about Gemeinschaft  in Africa, Singbewegung publisher Bärenreiter published several of his books (Chagga participatory music is described as the ideal Gemeinschaftsmusik), and African songs were transcribed and performed all over Germany.

As a result, also Gutmann’s attitude to music changed.  When he returned to Africa in 1926 he argued that the Lutheran chorale is inextricably linked to the Gospel.  He now translated all Lutheran chorales into Chagga (he was quite a poet) or wrote new texts for the melodies which would correspond to a Chagga ritual.  Both rituals and chorales are alive and well to this day:  Lutheran chorales are a required part of the regular choral competitions taking place every year in Tanzania.

Il Dolce Suono presents “Ki Koléch Arév: Jewish and Secular Music from Late Medieval Italy”

Posted on February 27, 2022 by smsabol

On Wednesday, March 2, 2022, the IU Department of Musicology will welcome Il Dolce Suono to campus to present a concert titled “Ki Koléch Arév: Jewish and Secular Music from Late Medieval Italy.” Corina Marti (harpsichord and recorders) and Doron Schleifer (countertenor) will perform at 7pm in the Recital Hall of Merill Hall (1201 East 3rd Street). On the program are compositions by Francesco Landini, Gherardello da Firenze, Don Paolo da Firenze, Laurentius da Firenze, and Jacopo da Bologna.

Below, Il Dolce Suono describes the program:

Doron Schleifer, countertenor
“Italian polyphonic music in the fourteenth century has been likened to a dazzling meteor suddenly flaming into existence against an obscure background and, its fireworks spent, disappearing just as abruptly.
Judging by the extant body of music, one of the most important towns in medieval Italy is republican Florence which rose to prominence in the middle of the 14th century with its very own style of music and text.
In this program we would like to introduce the dichotomy between the two different but still connected worlds that would constitute the musical world of the many Jewish musicians and dance masters who lived in Italy at the time. Along side the elaborate polyphonic music and flashy dances they would play, sing, dance and teach, they would also have a parallel musical world that of the synagogue and its special music.
Some of the most beautiful piyutim, from Achot Ketanah for the High Holidays to Maoz Tzur for Hanukkah we can find in Italy, with each of them having its own unique Italian version, and we do find some of the melodies again in the secular music of the same era.”

 

Corina Marti, harpsichord and recorders

This event is co-sponsored by the Jacobs School of Music Historical Performance Institute, Department of Musicology, Borns Jewish Studies Program Dorit & Gerald Paul Fund in Jewish Culture and the Arts, Medieval Studies Institute, Renaissance Studies, Italian Studies, and the Belgian Government.

Stewart Duncan’s “An Excellent Piece of Propaganda”

Posted on February 24, 2022 by smsabol

PhD candidate Stewart Duncan’s article “‘An Excellent Piece of Propaganda’: The British Council’s Use of Choirs as Cultural Diplomacy in the 1930s” was published in the January 2022 issue of The Musical Quarterly. Congratulations Stewart!

His article focuses on the anxiety the British government felt in the interwar period upon realizing that other countries, such as Italy and Germany, were making cultural inroads in Central and Eastern Europe, and how the British Council engaged in cultural diplomacy through musical propaganda, primarily using touring English choirs, which were viewed by the Council as emblematic of national identity. Stewart concentrates on the three choirs sent on tours by the Council–the Choir of Kings College, Cambridge; the New English Singers; and the Fleet Street Choir–and the values these ensembles embodied.

CFP: 2022 Caswell Award for Undergraduate Projects in Music History

Posted on January 27, 2022 by sjensvol

The Austin B. Caswell award was established in 1998 in honor of Prof. Caswell, a devoted teacher and member of the musicology faculty at Indiana University from 1966 until his retirement in 1996. The Caswell Award recognizes the two best undergraduate music history projects (such as research papers, podcasts, and lecture-recitals) submitted at the Jacobs School of Music each year.

ELIGIBILITY

Students may nominate their own projects. Alternatively, students’ projects may be nominated or encouraged by faculty members, associate instructors, and classmates. To be eligible for this year’s award, a project must have been submitted in fulfillment of course requirements for a music history class during the 2021 calendar year. You may revise the project before submitting it for the award (that is, it is not required that the version submitted be exactly what was turned in for a grade).

A student need not be currently enrolled as an IU undergraduate in order to be eligible to submit a project; for example, a student who submitted a project for M402 in spring 2021 may have since graduated, but is still eligible to submit that project for consideration. Each student may submit only one project.

PRIZE

Each winner will receive a certificate and $250 award. Winners are typically recognized at the Jacobs School of Music commencement reception but, as with all things, the situation will be different this year. The IU Department of Musicology will also post an award announcement on its website.

DEADLINE

Submissions must be received by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 10, 2022.

HOW TO APPLY

Complete the electronic submission form. For papers, upload a clean PDF version (without comments from instructors or editorial marks), identified by title only (not by student name). For research projects delivered in podcast or lecture-recital formats, please submit the written script and final audio file with student names removed.

Submitted projects will be read and judged by a committee of faculty members in the Musicology Department. The committee will not consider submissions that arrive after the deadline or that fail to meet the submission guidelines. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the musicology department at musicol@indiana.edu.

Prof. Halina Goldberg Wins 2021 H. Colin Slim Award at AMS

Posted on November 12, 2021 by sjensvol

Congratulations to IU Professor of Musicology Halina Goldberg, who has just won the 2021 H. Colin Slim Award from the American Musicological Society. Her award-winning article, titled “Chopin’s Album Leaves and the Aesthetics of Musical Album Inscription,” was published earlier this year in the Journal of the American Musicological Society.

Each year, the H. Colin Slim Award honors a musicological article of “exceptional merit” that is published during the previous year. The award committee chooses a single winner from nominations in any language and from any country, as long as they are a member of AMS or a citizen or permanent resident of Canada or the United States.

From the AMS awards page: Tapping a previously unexplored and extensive primary source base that was ephemeral and had been feminized, the author of this article convincingly builds an argument that takes the reader from small moments of interpersonal interaction to the overarching theme of national identity. Centering her exploration on musical album inscriptions in the musical world of the Polish composer, Frédéric Chopin, the author establishes networks of interpersonal exchange around these albums that connected composers, patrons, and consumers. Paying scrupulous attention to details, her rich referential matrix situates Chopin’s album inscriptions in a cosmopolitan habitus, shedding new light on their musical meaning and the stylistic genres from which they are derived, all conditioned by gift-exchange etiquette. The research is impressive and offers a multi-disciplinary critical framework, reflecting the author’s deep knowledge of musical repertoire, long engagement with archival sources, reading across a large and multidisciplinary secondary source base, and careful interpretation.

Daniel Bishop’s New Monograph: The Presence of the Past

Posted on October 25, 2021 by smsabol

Congratulations to Daniel Bishop, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Music (Music in General Studies) at Indiana University Bloomington and alumnus of the Musicology PhD program! His book, The Presence of the Past: Temporal Experience and the New Hollywood Soundtrack, was recently published by Oxford University Press. Bishop’s book focuses on the soundtracks of US films from the late sixties and early seventies that occupy a historical setting.

The abstract for The Presence of the Past can be found below, and the e-version of Bishop’s book can be accessed here (may require log-in credentials).

Abstract from Oxford Scholarship Online:

“In the tumultuous era of the late sixties and early seventies, several currents of American art and culture coalesced around a broad sensibility that foregrounded and explored the immediacy of lived experience as both an aesthetic and political imperative. But in films set in the historical past, this sensibility acquired complex additional resonances by speaking to the ephemerality of the present moment through a framework of history, myth, nostalgia, and other forms of temporal alienation and distance. The Presence of the Past explores the implications of this complex moment in Hollywood cinema through several prominent examples released in the years 1967 to 1974. Key genres are explored in detailed case studies: the outlaw film (Bonnie and Clyde and Badlands), the revisionist Western (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, McCabe and Mrs. Miller), the neo-noir (Chinatown), and the nostalgia film (The Last Picture Show and American Graffiti). In these films, “the past” is more than a matter of genre or setting. Rather, it is a richly diverse, often paradoxical concern in its own right, whose study bridges diverse conceptual territories within soundtrack studies, including the sixties pop score, myth criticism, media technologies, and the role of classical music in compilation scoring. Against a broader background of an industry and film culture that were witnessing a stylistic and aesthetic diversification in the use of music and sound design, The Presence of the Past argues for the film-philosophical importance of the soundtrack for cultivating an imagined experiential understanding of the past.”
