Extended Techniques in Jorge Peixinho's (1940-1995) Three Late Pieces for Saxophone available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Jorge Peixinho's Sax-Blue (1982-84), Passage Intérieur (1989), and Fantasia-Impromptu (1990) demonstrate an expressive exploration of saxophone sound through extended techniques. Timbral exploration is an essential element of the composer's "new and personal sound world." These techniques create sound transformations that interact with the ensemble in creative and varied ways. In Sax-Blue, Peixinho worked closely with French saxophonist Daniel Kientzy. The various extended techniques, especially multiphonics derived from Kientzy's Les Sons Multiples Aux Saxophones (1982) interact with jazz-inspired musical language and electronics to create layers of saxophone sound. Passage Intérieur was written for Kientzy and his Barocko ensemble. The composer also worked closely with Kientzy and Barocko in preparing this piece. Peixinho uses a wider variety of extended saxophone techniques in Passage Intérieur, this time derived from Kientzy's Saxologie (1990). These techniques interact with electric guitar, electric bass, synthesizer and electric drums in various textures. Fantasia-Impromptu was written for Portuguese saxophonist José Massarrão and pianist Ana Mafalda. Peixinho and Massarrão worked closely, once again in consultation with Kientzy's Saxologie, to curate the extended techniques for the piece. These techniques interact in a colourful and virtuosic conversation with the piano. The performance considerations of the extended saxophone techniques in Sax-Blue, Passage Intérieur and Fantasia-Impromptu are discussed. Interviews with key performance collaborators clarify the role the performer had in the creation and ongoing performance history of these idiomatic saxophone pieces. My interviews with Robert Aitken, António de Sousa Dias, Mario Falcão, Daniel Kientzy, José Machado, José Massarrão and Reina Portuondo inform my performance discussion. In addition, I created an edition of Sax-Blue that reconciles the differences between the various versions and the revision of the piece. This allows for the use of a single score in the study and performance of the piece. An introduction and theoretical analysis of all three pieces is presented and also informs the performance discussion.

Download and read online ebook Portuguese Modernisms write by Steffen Dix. This book was released on 2017-07-05. Portuguese Modernisms available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. For a more encompassing and stimulating picture of Modernism seen as a movement of the 20th century, a broad spectrum of work across many countries we must explore its diversity. Portuguese Modernism manifested itself both in visual art and in literature, and made a vigorous contribution to this time of profound cultural change. Indeed, the sociocultural transformations that marked the early 20th century in Portugal are still current. This volume provides a critical guide for students and teachers, contributed by an array of scholars with unparalleled knowledge of the period, its artists and its writers.

Creative practice in music, particularly in traditional concert culture, is commonly understood in terms of a rather stark division of labour between composer and performer. But this overlooks the distributed and interactive nature of the creative processes on which so much contemporary music depends. The incorporation of two features-improvisation and collaboration-into much contemporary music suggests that the received view of the relationship between composition and performance requires reassessment. Improvisation and collaborative working practices blur the composition/performance divide and, in doing so, provide important new perspectives on the forms of distributed creativity that play a central part in much contemporary music. Distributed Creativity: Collaboration and Improvisation in Contemporary Music explores the different ways in which collaboration and improvisation enable and constrain creative processes. Thirteen chapters and twelve shorter Interventions offer a range of perspectives on distributed creativity in music, on composer/performer collaborations and on contemporary improvisation practices. The chapters provide substantial discussions of a variety of conceptual frameworks and particular projects, while the Interventions present more informal contributions from a variety of practitioners (performers, composers, improvisers), giving insights into the pleasures and perils of working creatively in collaborative and improvised ways.
