Portfolio of recorded performances and exegesis: Messiaen’s musical language for the jazz pianist - an exploration through performance.
No full textMoving beyond Gunther Schuller’s Third Stream amalgamation of classical and jazz, this study explores whether the musical language of Olivier Messiaen can make a valid contribution to jazz piano performance. Initially, my project sought to answer such questions as: What elements of the musical language of Messiaen already exist in the jazz vocabulary? Am I able to extend this further? What are the timbral structures and pianistic effects within Messiaen’s musical language? What will be the most effective application of Messiaen’s musical language to jazz piano performance? Endeavouring to answer the final question led me to consider such aspects as whether the project should be limited to quoting Messiaen motifs, arranging Messiaen melodies, replacing jazz harmonic structures on standards with examples from Messiaen’s musical language or whether it would be better to approach the research conceptually. The work of Hubert Nuss provided encouraging reassurance that this was not an impossible task. In order to articulate this conception, the initial challenge was to decide how the classical and jazz worlds might meet in a ‘Messiaen’ technique. The approach adopted was similar to that used for undergraduate jazz study, namely, immersion in the piano scores and recordings of Messiaen’s music as well as by live performances. This was followed by the development and assessment of a contrived approach when specific techniques, such as tonal colourings or harmonic structures, were developed through prepared exercises and consciously included in my performance. It was then compared with an intuitive approach when no such precise parameters were established. This submission consists of CD recordings of two public recitals and an exegesis. It documents the development of this Messiaen technique and discusses its application in my performances. It also demonstrates the ways that Messiaen’s musical language can be used within jazz piano performance to provide a colour that distinguishes jazz piano performance in a competitive field.Thesis (M.Mus.) -- University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music, 201

Larinus gravidus Olivier 1807

Ol., C. Olivier, Amer. bor.” handwritten on green paper, and “MUSEUM PARIS, Famille Olivier, leg. 1995”, “ MNHN EC 1940” printed. The specimen, agreeing with both description and type locality is here designated as the lectotype with: “ LECTOTYPUS Ƥ, <i>Lixus gravidus</i> Olivier, Gültekin & Perrin des. 2010”, identified as “ <i>Larinus gravidus</i> (Olivier), Gültekin det. 2010”. The lectotype is pinned through the right elytron.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> Description and label data of the type specimen are in accordance with the original description (Olivier 1807); however, there is no further record about the finding of this species in America (O’Brien & Wibmer, 1982; Wibmer & O'Brien, 1986). Members of the genus <i>Larinus</i> are not distributed in the Nearctic, Neotropical and Australian regions (Csiki, 1934), except for species introduced into the United States of America such as <i>L. minutus</i> Gyllenhal, 1835, <i>L. obtusus</i> Gyllenhal, 1835 and <i>L. curtus</i> Hochhuth, 1851 (Lang et al. 1997; Sobhian & Fornasari, 1994), and into the Australian region, like <i>L. latus</i> (Herbst, 1783) (Woodburn & Briese, 1996), for biological control of weeds. Recently an accidental introduction into the United States of <i>L. carlinae</i> (Olivier, 1807) (McClay, 1990) [= <i>Larinus planus</i> sensu Germar, 1824, (not Fabricius, 1792)] (see Gültekin, 2006) was also reported. Consequently, we considered the type locality “Amérique septentrionale” as erroneus, also because <i>L. gravidus</i> (Olivier, 1807) turns out to be conspecific with <i>L. schoenherri</i> Capiomont, 1874 which is distributed in Spain, Portugal and Algeria (Csiki, 1934; Alonso-Zarazaga, 2002). Consequently: <i>Larinus gravidus</i> (Olivier, 1807) [= <i>L. schoenherri</i> Capiomont, 1874, <b>syn. nov.</b>].</p>Published as part of <i>Gültekin, Levent & Perrin, Hélène, 2011, Study of a part of the A.
