In the process of my research on the topic ‘The Soviet Avant-Garde from the 1970s to the present’, I learned that one of the heroes (actually, the heroine) of my studies, Sofia Gubaidulina, had been invited by San Jose State University School of Music for a festival of her music. The annual festivals in the SJSU, called ‘The Annual Guest Composers Series’, are each dedicated to the music of a specific contemporary composer. The guests of previous ‘Series’ were Morton Subotnik (1993) and Mario Davidowsky (1994); the festival in 1995 was devoted to Gubaidulina; George Crumb was selected for the following festival in 1996.

Résumé « Pour une histoire sociale de la musique de George Crumb dans les années 1970 » désire montrer que l’art du compositeur américain (né en 1929) reflète d’une manière kaléidoscopique les vicissitudes de la société. Usant volontiers des différentes facettes de la notion de « métaphore », l’oeuvre visionnaire de Crumb s’attache autant aux arcanes de la spiritualité qu’aux affres de la mort. Dans ce sillage, l’approche symbolique de l’écriture musicale y suit l’analyse des faits socioculturels comme des problématiques sociopolitiques du moment.

Black Angels

This essay attempts to develop an interpretative framework for effects of timbre in selected twentieth-century instrumental music. My approach draws on ethnomusicologist Cornelia Fales’s concept of “perceptualization” in order to establish expressive associations of transparency and turbidity with sinusoidal purity and spectral noise, respectively. I explore how these sonic tokens of purity and impurity are in turn mapped onto concepts of spirituality and corporeality in music of Varèse, Stockhausen, Messiaen, Gubaidulina, and especially George Crumb, whose workBlack Angelsis singled out for a detailed discussion of its timbral processes and their interpretive possibilities.

Considers a unique song cycle of the postmodern epoch - “Madrigals” by American composer George Crumb. The author addresses the semantic meaning of Death image in particular and reveals parallels in its representations by the composer and by Federico García Lorca. It is argued that Crumb used particular phrases of the Spanish poet and dramatist to create the original dramaturgy that deepened the tragic death imaging.
