Ryszard Gabryś — twórczość kompozytorska a asocjacje z ziemią cieszyńską

Author(s): Danuta Zoń-Ciuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 6/2014

The author presents Ryszard Gabryś, a well-known contemporary composer from Cieszyn Silesian region. She highlights his undeniable, long-term connections with the area, confirmed not only with his large-scale educational and social activities, but also with the composer’s artistic works. Making an overview of his compositions inspired by his passion for folk music, the author of the present article focuses on analysing the music piece written in 2013 as a homage to another composer who died tragically in Nazi camp during World War II. It is "The Lament for Jan Sztwiertnia". R. Gabryś composed it with a view to being performed by "A piacere" Chamber Choir, the author of this article and Józef Broda, a folk artist from Koniaków. The choral structure of this work is so complicated because, treating the four-part mixed choir music form non-traditionally, it is characterized by a specific, more individual use of the human voice. It uses sonoristic effects of juxtaposition of bel canto singing with white voice, it requires creativity and great musicality from a young performer, as well as awareness of the ideology of the composition. Especially that Gabryś’s composition is intertwined with the sound of instruments from Beskidy region played masterly, which adds colour and symbolics to the composer’s message.

Author(s): Natalia Kubiak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 6/2014

In the course of time, the number of private theatres of various types has increased in Poland. The biggest influence on young audience, however, may be observed in case of travelling theatres, with which children have the closest contact, as they are easily accessible. The author ponders on the condition of these theatres and their role in children’s upbringing and education. On the basis of Nikifora Theatre and Trip Theatre programs, she is trying to show that theatres of this type develop in the right direction. She is paying special attention to the values which professional actors can and should convey to the young audience, instead of thinking exclusively of the calculable financial profits which the sale of tickets for plays for children may bring.

Kształcenie poczucia rytmu w programach współczesnych systemów wychowania muzycznego

Author(s): Anna Waluga / Language(s): Polish Issue: 6/2014

Getting to know the objectives and educational contents of the contemporary music education systems, it is easy to notice that they focus mainly on training one’s ear for music, and more rarely on developing a sense of rhythm. It results from the common conviction that one of the more difficult aspects in music education is mastering the ability to sing in tune, read and write notes. How can one, however, speak of arrhythmical singing or playing an instrument? How can one listen to music without being able to distinguish rhythm in it? Another phenomenon that has been observed (unfortunatelly, a very disturbing one) is teachers’ approach to teaching the sense of rhythm by means of explanation (often with the use of “mathematical formulae”). One cannot learn music — including rhythm — by means of learning the explanation to “how much of certain property is inherent in a certain musical item”, for even the children’s best answers to that question usually do not go together with rhythmic performance. It provoked the author of the article to consider the process of teaching a sense of rhythm, which has been developed by the contemporary authors of music education systems. It turns out that to these authors — distinguished musicians and educators — the development of children’s rhythmic skills and, consequently, their capacity for a rhythmic performance, has underlay assumptions, objectives and program contents of the above-mentioned systems. Learning them allows one to see that the ways of reaching these aims are diverse, as is the music which constitutes the basis of the educational program. Thus it is important to always reach for the most valuable music in music education, as teaching a sense of rhythm cannot be separate from the contact with themes derived from the music literature of such masters as: Bach or Bartók... not to mention folk music.

W poszukiwaniu wyrazowych wartości słowno-muzycznych na przykładzie współczesnego utworu chóralnego "Lacrimosa" Mindaugasa Urbaitisa

Author(s): Lucja Nowak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 6/2014

The evolution and style of contemporary Lithuanian music have been dependent on historical-political factors and circumstances. During the Soviet occupation the development of Lithuanian music was substantially limited. Socialist realist aesthetics was favoured in art. For every divergence from the established norms, the composers were persecuted and criticised. In the 70s the censorship has been mitigated, which increased possibilities of search for nontraditional ways of composing music. Contemporary means and systems of Western modern music such as: dodecaphony, sonorism, and collage, started to be used. The language of music acquired the characteristics of rational thinking, and elements of folk music started to be used without restraint, becoming of more and more individual character. Many artists started their search for their own, original style. They began developing nontraditional genres and musical forms. Among the most distinguished composers of the new style of Lithuanian contemporary music one may enumerate: Bronius Kutavičius (1932), Osvaldas Balakauskas (1937), Feliksas Bajoras (1934). As a result of this search, twenty years later, Mindaugas Urbaitis (1952), a well-known contemporary composer wrote "Lacrimosa" for a mixed choir (S1S2A1A2T1T2B1B2) a cappella, basing on "Lacrimosa" from "Requiem" — the musical material of W.A. Mozart. Urbaitis called this transformation a “recomposition” — the act of composing the already created music anew. In this article an analysis of "Lacrimosa" by M. Urbaitis, with regard to the word-music expressive values, has been conducted. This composition was dedicated to all those who died in the fight for the liberation of Lithuania.

Polski postmodernizm muzyczny — ogląd kontradykcyjny. Twórczość Wiesława Cienciały i Andrzeja Dziadka "Fale i dzwony — la change est la nature"

Author(s): Jolanta Szulakowska-Kulawik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 6/2014

Differentiation between two artistic techniques of Wiesław Cienciała and Andrzej Dziadek has been depicted in the text on the basis of stratification (so characteristic to postmodern tendencies) to art inclined towards renewed tradition employed by the latter, and art of avant-garde and experimental ars nova type used by the former. Their aesthetic views have been discussed and the analysis of their selected works has been conducted in order to emphasise differences between them, which exist despite the fact that they used to be students of the same composition teacher — Józef Świder. A diversified picture of Polish postmodernism in music, confirming the perennial ideological dychotomy ingrained in antiquity, is the subject to general observation in the article and constitutes the essence of my reflection.

Komi muusika äärealad: lindude maailm

Author(s): Anatoly Panyukov / Language(s): Estonian Issue: 47/2011

The article analyses bird sounds and the expressions thereof in Komi folk music. Relying on a number of examples, the author introduces the potential emergence of linguistic, mythological and musical connections, and the relevant research in Komi folklore, observing the most meaningful levels of interpreting and understanding the world of birds in folk tradition. Undoubtedly, the study of folk music is not only associated with the research of musical thought, but also pre-necessitates the analysis of mythological, folkloric and linguistic conceptions which serve as the basis for the ethical needs of people. The presented cross-section of folk culture makes it possible to see the connection between the linguistic, mythological and musical phenomena. Based on the given analysis, it can be said that in certain situations, the chronotopy and in-depth structure of bird images (at linguistic, mytho-epical and musical levels) may indeed act as the primordium for the plot. Folkloric texts generated in such a manner are cosmological in their structure, as they reflect the universal principles of traditional worldview – anthropocentrism, anthropometry and nthropomorphism, i.e. the reciprocal influence between the macrocosm and microcosm.

Muzyka i ogrody jako wzajemnie naświetlające się teksty kultury

Author(s): Jolanta Szulakowska-Kulawik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2012

The author treats a garden as a rich and diversified “culture text” and the area of “cultural communication”. The topic of gardens has been fascinating for philosophers, writers and artists since time immemorial. The garden is a borderline between the world of nature and culture. The text confirms the hypothesis that an ideology typical of a given civilization period has always influenced the architecture-landscape orientations while these have been the source of many outstanding artistic works. The garden is a reflection of man’s culture, a poetical figure, a reflection of various directions and music styles. Multidimensional interpretations of “garden” brought sense to various aesthetic, cultural and religious orientations from the ancient times to modernity.

Zaolziańskie instytucje kulturalne (po 1920 roku) i ich wpływ na kulturę ludową

Author(s): Magdalena Szyndler / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2012

Despite unfavourable political and economic conditions after 1920 the Poles in Zaolzie could cherish the folk culture thanks to cultural institutions. Especially Polski Związek Kulturalno-Oświatowy and the activity of its members in the Zaolzie area contributed to the maintenance of the elements of the Polish folklore. “Zwrot”, and later on “Kalendarz Zwrotu” were formed where the folklorists, musicologists, writers, poets, and linguists (among others Jan Tacina, Karol Hławiczka, Paweł Kubisz, Rudolf Żebrok and many more) could write. Thanks to the Folklorist Section, on the other hand, the field research began, which, in turn, contributed to the archivization of dialect texts and folk songs (among others Daniel Kadłubiec). Also, from the initiative of the FS, events and meetings propagating various levels of the regional culture started to be organised.

„W kontekście muzycznych skandali”. Horyzont oczekiwań słuchaczy wobec wartości w muzyce

Author(s): Bogumiła Mika / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2012

The text brings an attempt to interpret the phenomenon of artistic scandals in the history of classical music in the light of Robert Jauss’ aesthetics of reception worked out on the basis of the theory of literature. The author starts from a description of a few best known artistic scandals in the first half of the 20th century connected with the presentation of music by Igor Strawiński, Arnold Schönberg and Alban Berg. Next, she presents a theoretical perspective on Jauss’ esthetics of reception concerning the so called horizon of receivers’ expectations. In the light of the very phenomenon, B. Mika is trying to explain artistic scandals understood as the evidence of the nonfulfillment of receivers’ expectations specifically and usually traditionally shaped. Music going beyond traditionally accepted patterns breaks the horizon of such receivers’ expectations and thus tends to be rejected. “Conservative frames” of the concert hall rarely accelerate the novelty in the art of sounds. Pressure which appears between a traditional horizon of expectations and novelty in art constitutes a serious call for pondering over values in music.
