On the Education and Training of King Ladislaus the Posthumous

O výchově a vzdělávání krále Ladislava Pohrobka

Author(s): David Papajík / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 1/2015

Keywords: history; Ladislaus the Posthumous; Frederick III Habsburg; Eneas Silvius Piccolomini; royal education

The author analyzes the education and training of the Hungarian and Bohemian king Ladislaus the Posthumous at the court of the Roman-German king Frederick III Habsburg in 1440-1452. He examines not only a thin collection of the accounts of Ladislaus’ training and his teachers, but also the work by Enea Silvio Piccolomini on the education of children that was written directly for Ladislaus the Posthumous in 1450. Besides this theoretical education, the author also deals with the practical side of Ladislaus’ training by way of an example of the imperial coronation journey to Rome in 1451-1452, in which Ladislaus took part.

Statutes as a Primary Source in Studying Associations’ Activities in the Era of Dualism (Example of the City of Košice)

Stanovy ako prameň k činnosti spolkov v obdob dualizmu (príklad mesta Košice)

Author(s): Nikoleta Dzurikaninová / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 1/2015

Keywords: Slovakia; history; Košice; association; statutes; dualism; analysis; 19th century

The number of associations in the era of dualism was growing rapidly in Košice as well as in Hungary. Statutes constitute an important primary source for the research of an association’s life. The regulation by the Minister of Interior no. 1508/1875 ordered the associations to write their statutes and send them to the Minister of Interior for acceptance. Thus, the statutes were the first documents made by associations. Based on this primary source it is possible to study the creation, character and functioning of every association of that time. The aim of the paper is to analyze the statutes of associations in Košice in the era of dualism and to present possibilities of the research based on these statutes. By way of an example of the selected type of associations and the selected information excerpted from the statutes, the paper also presents the character of the city.

TRADITION AND MODERNITY IN CURRENT PSALTIC MUSIC. VESPERS HYMNS BY ARCHDEACON DR. SEBASTIAN BARBU-BUCUR

TRADITION AND MODERNITY IN CURRENT PSALTIC MUSIC. VESPERS HYMNS BY ARCHDEACON DR. SEBASTIAN BARBU-BUCUR

Author(s): Elena Chircev / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2011

Keywords: Byzantine music; sticheron; Anastasimatarion; modes of Orthodox church; tradition; Vespers Hymns

Byzantine music has deep roots in the Romanian culture and writing music in the spirit of Byzantine tradition has been a constant activity of the servants of the Orthodox Church in the Romanian areal. This genre of music continued to flourish in the second half of the 20th century, and Archdeacon Dr. Sebastian Barbu-Bucur, author of many hymns and services for the Romanian Saints, is one of the most prolific contemporary composers of psaltic music. As a constituent part of the ritual, liturgical music is subject to precise rules that are also reflected in the conditions imposed by the compliance with the melodic patterns of the eight church modes. The purpose of the comparative analysis of the Vespers hymns is to highlight their alignment with psaltic tradition, as well as to point out features of a musical discourse sprinkled with touches of modernity. In these hymns we find common features with the psaltic melos of the last two hundred years, as featured in the Anastasimatarion edited by Hieromonk Makarios in 1823, but also well crafted and original melodic turns, skillfully integrated in tradition by the composer who is also one of the most competent scholars of Byzantine musical manuscripts in our country.

THE ESCAPE - THOUGHTS ON HUNGARIAN AND CENTRAL-EUROPEAN RELIGIOUS MUSIC, ON STYLISTIC TRENDS AND ON SPIRITUAL ASPECTS OF CREATION

THE ESCAPE - THOUGHTS ON HUNGARIAN AND CENTRAL-EUROPEAN RELIGIOUS MUSIC, ON STYLISTIC TRENDS AND ON SPIRITUAL ASPECTS OF CREATION

Author(s): Selmeczi György / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2011

Keywords: creation; intonation; sacred genres; musical language

The system of ideas pertaining to the Enlightenment and democracy began to adjust the standard of natural selection on an ever lower level, and this process has not yet ended. From the viewpoint of linguistics and the psychology of creation we can determine those somehow tectonic movements that have gradually distanced art music from the world of everyday thinking and tastes. For the composers at the end of the 20th century, it became increasingly obvious that music history and the heritage of musical language are not processes in linear development, but rather the history of a multitude of parallel metamorphoses, along which simpler or more complicated structures interchange periodically or rhapsodically. A particular importance belongs to how sacred genres can synthesize those intonations (and here I understand the term intonation in all its complexity, in order to stress the character and its various modalities) of very different origins, whose source is to be found in the medieval world of the tropes (Gregorian), in the layers of ancient folklore, in the coded forms of the Renaissance and early Baroque, but also in the tradition of the nineteenth century (Schumann, Berlioz, Verdi, Liszt). A new epoch of transformations has been taking shape for the past two decades. Starting from under the protecting umbrella of vocality, more and more composers dare claim the right to existence of the “organic” musical language in the instrumental world of chamber music as well.

THE HEGEMONY OF "ISMS" AS FAILURE OF THE AVANT-GARDE - WANDERING THROUGH THE REALM OF “ISMS”

THE HEGEMONY OF "ISMS" AS FAILURE OF THE AVANT-GARDE - WANDERING THROUGH THE REALM OF “ISMS”

Author(s): Valentin Timaru / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2011

Keywords: the ism groups; style; aesthetic attitude; artistic expression

The ism is like a cupola accommodating the various artistic trends and fundamental styles, or sheltering certain manners, all being related to the specificity of certain attitudes derived from the diverse aesthetic approaches. The ism groups, parcels out, catalogues and systematizes what in artistic practice is often difficult or even impossible to grasp. Viewed from the perspective of a desideratum, the ism can be nothing but a preconceived idea imposed a priori upon an aesthetic attitude. Hence, a confusing reversal of values occurred right in the yard of those interested in the articulation of some systemic visions. Instead of being presented with the object of creation, we are presented with the tools with which the object was shaped. The negative spirit of the "anti" realm has shaped itself by tenaciously producing a series of aesthetic categories pompously called anti-categories. The fickleness of the taste governed by the subjective we like has insinuated itself legitimizing a genuine antimetaphoric mannerism. And from here to the opportunism of it is in, or it is out, born from the arbitrariness of the ephemeral fashion, there was only one step to go; as to fashion and its insinuation in art, we will leave that for some other occasion.

„GIVE ME ALADDIN’S LAMP” - A POSSIBLE PERSPECTIVE OF MODERNISM

„GIVE ME ALADDIN’S LAMP” - A POSSIBLE PERSPECTIVE OF MODERNISM

Author(s): Angi Ştefan / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2011

Keywords: Archetype; Cantata; Modernism; Text-melody relationship; Tragic

Defining the differentiated semantics of new and novelty, reversing the dictum non nova sed nove into non nove sed nova, the author of the chamber cantata „Give me Aladdin’s lamp” is based on the rich experience of leading myriad of mid-century modernism. The investigation of the paradigms of new relationships between vocal and instrumental in creation of Dora Cojocaru, is directed in present at the chamber cantata for mezzo-soprano, brass quintet and percussion on lyrics by Emil & Dan Botta, Georg Trakl, Rainer Maria Rilke and Ady Endre (1998). The relations text - melody by their phenomenological reduction to fruitful combinations between poetic word - musical sound in Dora Cojocaru’s cantatas represent a stylistic-rhetorical subsumption of autochthonous and foreign experiences in promoting new compositional and interpretive skills meant for adaptation of appropriate musical expression in portraying contemporary aesthetic message. They are designed on the wide range of contemporary aesthetic values from the grotesque in nascendi to the absurd in morendi. As long as the Cantata Galgenlieder in der Nacht with lyrics by Christian Morgenstern (1995) is conceived at the grotesquely pole on the axis of the field of contemporary aesthetics, the Cantata Give me Aladdin’s lamp is designed in the sphere of the tragic. In the composer’s vocal and instrumental creation (and not only in them) the experiences of today’s musical composition and interpretation are rethought creatively, suggesting in perspective the permanence of modern horizons.

THE MUSICAL LEGACY OF CLUJ AND THE BAROQUE IDIOM - CASE STUDY: «FANTASIA E FUGA SULLE PEDALE PER ORGANO» BY DAN VOICULESCU

THE MUSICAL LEGACY OF CLUJ AND THE BAROQUE IDIOM - CASE STUDY: «FANTASIA E FUGA SULLE PEDALE PER ORGANO» BY DAN VOICULESCU

Author(s): Bianca Ţiplea-Temeş / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2011

Keywords: Cluj composers; Baroque; Modern; Dan Voiculescu; Bach; Froberger; Hindemith; stylus fantasticus

Axiologically acknowledged as a blend of tradition and modernity, the Cluj school of composition has designed an original stylistic matrix that proves its resonance with Baroque music thinking. Sigismund Toduţă and later his disciples, Hans Peter Türk and Dan Voiculescu, integrated their works within the confines of a musical language that recovers a historical musical era through the aesthetic filter of the present. Through logical derivations, artistic values of the past take on new semantic weight, while a neo-Baroque atmosphere penetrates the music of the late 20th century Cluj. Fantasia e Fuga sulle pedale per organo by Dan Voiculescu represents an ideal case of stylistic fusion that requires a simultaneous reading through the grid of the Baroque and of modernity. The analysis reveals intertextual connections with the works of Bach or Froberger, as well as references to the art of Hindemith. The stylistic bivalence of the entire piece is also reflected in the type of grammar used in modelling this novel opus; while the author applies a traditional grammar to shape the form, by designing the discourse according to an early Baroque formula, he resorts to a generative grammar for the elaboration of the content. The two levels of the text overlap and demonstrate Dan Voiculescu’s commitment to the Baroque paradigm, advancing the thesis of a reconfiguration of the diachronic and synchronic perspective in the musical creation.

DISCOURSE ON THE COMPARATIVE METHOD

DISCOURSE ON THE COMPARATIVE METHOD

Author(s): Haplea Horea / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2011

Keywords: interpretative analysis; comparative method; model; structuralism; tradition

Established as authoritary discipline in humanist sciences, particularly in anthropology, the comparativism will generate surprising evolutions and will deffine itself as an efficent investigation method, reaching a certain level of research depth. The essay is structured in two sections. The first one circumscribes some general coordinates of the comparativism viewed as a method, trying to clarify, as much as possible, its qualities and its limits. In the second section I accomplished a translation of these principles in the interpretative activity, applying the comparative method in the main territories of the musical morphology, particularly focusing on their rendering in piano interpretation. I also tried in this essay a diachronic approach towards the comparative method, as it is conditioned by multiple socio-cultural and historical parameters. Verified, validated and honored with obvious results, the comparative method continues to keep its efficiency in musical interpretation by the intimation of details, the creation of interpretative models and the marks it can offer in stylistic and historical approaches. We believe that the essay can offer certain conceptual and attitudinal articulations for this research area.

Michał Kędzierski from Wojnicz, or the Case Study of a Neophyte in Back Country in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century

Studium przypadku Michała Kędzierskiego z Wojnicza czyli losy neofity na prowincji w pierwszej połowie XVIII wieku

Author(s): Łukasz Kossacki-Lytwyn / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 02/2014

Keywords: converts from Judaism; Wojnicz; burghers; Małopolska in 18th century

The article describes the complicated history of Michał Kędzierski's life. He was a Jewish convert who lived in the first half of the eighteenth century in Wojnicz. Initially he served for the Wojnicz's starost and in 1716 he was the administrator of the whole crown lands in Wojnicz county (starostwo wojnickie). In this period, he was described in official documents as a member of nobility. After 1720 he settled in Wojnicz town, from which his wife Elżbieta Bialikowic hailed. She was a member of a known burgher family which produced many Roman Catholic clergymen. In the following years, Kędzierski integrated with town's community and in 1732 he was chosen as member of the town’s delegation sent to the Polish king with town's to campaign against Kędzierski's former patron Jakub Stanisław Karwowski, the Wojnicz starosta, and defend the town’s rights violated by nobleman and his Jewish leaseholder of a Wojnicz inn. His son Andrzej Kędzierski was a notable priest and prelate - canon (dean) in Wojnicz. The article shows that assimilation and integration was possible for Jewish converts in 18th century Poland.

The Diplomat Milan Rastislav Štefánik

Diplomat Milan Rastislav Štefánik

Author(s): Miroslav Musil / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 1/2011

Keywords: Štefánik; Česko-Slovensko; armáda; generál; diplomat

Milan Rastislav Štefánik sa stal pre mnohých „klasikom“. Zdá sa, že sa už o ňom popísalo a povedalo toľko, že k tomu ťažko pridať niečo nové a objavné. Istý háčik je v tom, že mnohí autori, ktorí sa mu venovali, preberali od svojich predchodcov rokmi zabehané klišé, ktoré neúmerne pridávali na zásluhách niektorým zo zakladateľského tímu Česko-Slovenska na úkor práve Štefánika. Príliš často narážame na frázy ako „Otváral Masarykovi a Benešovi dvere k popredným politikom,“ alebo ešte horšie, „Čo Masaryk myslel, to Beneš povedal, to Štefánik vykonal“ – imidž dobrého a poslušného vojaka. Kam sa podela Štefánikova geniálna kapacita koncipovať, improvizovať, viesť, presviedčať skeptikov?

Global governance and the Slovak Republic

Global governance a SR

Author(s): Irina Mattová / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 1/2011

Keywords: agenda globálneho vládnutia; G8; G20; 2010

Pojem global governance (globálne vládnutie) sa objavil koncom 80. rokov 20. storočia, frekvencia jeho používania však vzrástla až o takmer desaťročie neskôr.1 Vznik tohto pojmu a jeho prijatie odbornou verejnosťou súviseli najmä s uvedomením si zmien, ktoré prebiehali v medzinárodnej politike od konca druhej svetovej vojny. V snahe vyvarovať sa opakovaniu celosvetového konfliktu a na základe potreby riešiť niektoré problémy na globálnej úrovni štáty zakladali rôzne multilaterálne inštitúcie so špecifickým zameraním (OSN , Medzinárodný menový fond, Svetová banka a mnohé iné).
