Par GRIFFIN MICHAEL. When it comes to musical skill, why is it that some people achieve so much more than others? We are frequently led to believe this is because of a talent hardwired into their DNA. Now, music educator Michael Griffin dismisses that age-old notion in favour of another known factor: practice. His new book, Learning Strategies for Musical Success illustrates how the quantity and quality of practice is the greatest predictor of musical success so that aspiring musicians of all ages and abilities can best bring about expert performance. This inspiring, accessible guide will equip students, teachers, adult learners, and parents with the methods and mindset to improve the likelihood of learning music successfully. 'Deeply impressive - the breadth of research is fascinating!' - Victorian Music Teachers Association 'Terrific...eminently practical...excellent discussion...I came away inspired and excited.' - The Music Trust, Australia 'This book really does deliver' - American Music Teacher 'I can't think of any other book that draws on so many resources to create a new understanding of learning music. Every serious music student, music teacher, and parent of a music student will find important information in this book. Griffin gives clear examples of how concepts are applied that make for enjoyable reading. This book has a potential for making lifelong differences in the lives of music students, parents and teachers.” - Roy Ernst, PhD, LLD Professor Emeritus, Eastman School of Music of The University of Rochester 'A must buy for every music teacher and music student. Bravo on a most stimulating read. This draws together old wisdom and the latest research.

The book is well documented, making it convenient to go on to further reading about the topics of each chapter.

Par JARRELL MICHAEL. Modifications a été écrit pour l'Ensemble Contrechamp et pour Claude Helffer. La partition fait directement allusion au roman de Michel Butor, et s'inspire de quelques uns de ses principes: modification des différents temps, modification d'une situation en rapport avec une constante, modification de celle-ci, modification de l'itinéraire même du soliste dont l'écriture se transforme peu à peu afin de rejoindre celle de l'ensemble. Michael Jarrell Lorsque je compose, je suis confronté à des choix qui affectent la succession immédiate des événements ou le décours de la forme: une fois un chemin choisi, on ne peut revenir en arrière. En ce sens, la composition ressemble à un système arborescent: un motif, une 'Gestalt' peuvent se développer de différentes façons. Certains éléments d'une oeuvre peuvent servir de germe à une autre oeuvre. C'est ainsi que des liens profonds existent entre les pièces enregistrées ici: Trei I, Trace-Ecart, Modifications (...) Cette idée des notes répétées impliquait d'autres formulations, que je décidai de mettre à jour avec Modifications. J'ai établi dans cette oeuvre une sorte de cycle de développement à partir de deux éléments contraires ayant comme axe principal des notes répétées: ainsi l'auditeur peut-il suivre les transformations allant de la note tenue à des groupes d'appoggiatures, en passant par le trille et différentes sortes de figurations rapides. Ces éléments sont, au départ de la pièce, superposés. Ils ont également une fonction de 'signal', et articulent les différentes parties de l'oeuvre du point de vue formel. Plus qu'un jeu d'écriture, un tel travail est lié aux phénomène psychoacoustiques et à la recherche d'un langage il vise à une formulation que l'auditeur peut saisir, à une adéquation satisfaisante entre langage et perception basée sur l'utilisation d'éléments repérables tels que motifs, hauteurs gelées, gestes musicaux. De même que je n'ai pas l'intention de faire table rase du passé, je ne désire pas construire chaque pièce à partir d'un point zéro. Ce qui importe au contraire, c'est de travailler avec des éléments que je maîtrise de mieux en mieux, d'atteindre à une certaine fluidité, et d'établir une continuité significative entre les oeuvres. Fasciné par des artistes qui, comme Giacometti ou Varèse, travaillent sans cesse la même idée, je conçois mon propre développement comme une sorte d'auto-analyse. Michael Jarrell, extrait du texte de présentation du disque Accord / contemporain / Date parution : 1987-01-01/ Répertoire / Piano et Ensemble

Michael Nyman's Musique A Grande Vitesse (MGV) translates as ‘high speed music’ and was commissioned by the Festival de Lille for the inauguration of the TGV North EuropeanParis-Lille line in 1993. This piece of sheet music runs continuously but was conceived as an abstract imaginary journey; or rather five inter-connected journeys each ending with a slow mainly stepwise melody which isonly heard in its 'genuine' form when the piece reaches its destination. Thematic 'transformation' is a key to MGV as a whole. Throughout the piece ideas - rhythmic melodic harmonic motivic textural -constantly change their identity as they pass through different musical 'environments'. The opening bars establish both a recurrent rhythmic principle - 9 11 or 13-beat rhythmic cycles heard against a regular 8 - and aharmonic process - chord sequences (mainly over C and E) which have the note E in common. (Coincidentally MGV begins in C and ends in E). A later scalic syncopated figure (again first heard over C E and A)begins the second section featuring Brass in D flat. The topography of MGV should be experienced without reference to planning description or timetables. Its tempo changes and unpredictable slowings downbear no logical relation to the high speed of the Paris-Lille journey while the temptation to treat MGV as a concerto grosso with the Michael Nyman band as the ripeno was resisted: more suitably theband (amplified in live performance) lays down the tracks on which MGV runs.

Par JARRELL MICHAEL. Plus qu'une superposition de plans temporels, telle qu'elle existait déjà dans certaines musiques polyphoniques du 16ème siècle, il s'agit plutôt ici d'une superposition/surimpression des divers plans sémantiques entre texte et musique. L'écho n'est pas conçu comme interaction pure d'un texte et d'une musique. Bien sûr, le texte musical a été structuré par rapport au texte poétique, mais il s'agit plutôt d'un 'écho', d'une trace. Celle-ci, déjà estompée, communie avec le silence (présence-absence) - pas de gestes dramatiques ni de grandes envolées, simplement une impression, une atmosphère. Peut-on alors vraiment se poser la question: 'le sens explicite du texte se trouve-t-il obscurci ou magnifié par les sons qu'on lui fait correspondre?' Eco est écrit sur le sonnet 80 (1594) de Luis de Gongora. Michael Jarrell / contemporain / Répertoire / Soprano et Ensemble
