    Igor Stravinsky's 'The Flood' in Between Theatre and Television

    No full text
    The essay deals with the television production of The Flood (1962) one of the most significant compositions of Igor Stravinsky’s late output. The process that led from the original plans of Robert Craft, Stravinsky and George Balanchine to the final television production is read in the light of the remediation and mediatization processes, and of a dialectic between different kinds of visual-gestural representation, based on theatrical conventions. The author applies a multimedia approach. The musical component is examined with regard to both its connection to the visual aspects and its serial construction. The author shows how Stravinsky creates a musical equivalent of the opposite kinds of visual/gestural representation by diversified vocal characterizations of the roles and by a particular use of the diatonicism-chromaticism opposition

    The essay discusses issues of oral tradition, written tradition and music notation, and examines their role in the origins and early development of Gregorian chant. The author shows how memorization played a crucial role in both the composition and execution of the repertory. Memorization, however, was used according to strategies which reflect the strong impact of literate learning and teaching practices on the musical habits of the singers. The first part of the essay is dedicated to an overview of the different main theories of memory and orality in Gregorian chant
