• W2201481153 abstract "MEXICAN COMPOSER MANUEL M. PONCE (1882-1948) wrote prolifically for voice and piano, and song cycles are among the finest although lesser known works of his catalogue.1 Musical styles demonstrated in the cycles are quite diverse, ranging from conservative modernism to more adventurous sounds, but one also finds references to older music. The poetry encompasses a large array of subjects in Spanish, English, Italian, and French by authors of many nationalities: Mariano Brull, Jose D. Frias, Juan del Encina, Enrique Gonzalez Martinez, Francisco A. de Icaza, Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov, Comtesse de Noailles, Mathilde Pomes, Rabindranath Tagore, Franz Toussaint, and Luis G. Urbina. Both voice and piano parts are characterized by technical complexity and musical depth. Vocal ranges span from C^sub 4^ (middle C) to A#^sub 5^, and the piano exploits effective word painting procedures. Performers of different tastes, from the tonally oriented to those with a fondness for more dissonant idioms, will discover pieces to enrich their repertoire.Ponce evinced an eclectic style that was in constant evolution. The creation of the cycles encompasses a period of fifteen years from 1925 to 1940; some were composed in Mexico, others in France. The cycles certainly were influenced by his studies with Paul Dukas at the Ecole Normale de Musique (1925-1932), where he obtained his Licence de Composition during an extended residence in Paris, one of the important musical capitals of the world.2 As a result, one discovers varying levels of impressionism, neoclassicism, and sounds that evoke music from Mexico, Cuba, Spain, and France.Almost all of Ponce's song cycles were dedicated to and premiered by his wife,3 Clema Maurel, a Mexican singer of French descent,4 who studied with a number of illustrious teachers in Mexico City, New York, and Paris. Among her more ambitious presentations were those in Paris at the Salle de L'Ecole Normale de Musique (1934) and in Mexico City's premier theater Palacio de las Bellas Artes (1935). In the latter, she performed as a soloist with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Mexico conducted by Carlos Chavez.5The eight cycles include a total of thirty individual songs ranging from a little over one to four minutes. Additionally, the composer's inventory contains some transcriptions for voice and string quartet as well as for voice and orchestra.6 The titles, along with the dates of composition and the names of the poets whose work is included, are: Two Songs (1925; Rabindranath Tagore); Tres poemas de Lermontow (1926); Tres poemas de M. Brull (1926- 1931); Poesies chinoises (1931-1932; Franz Toussaint); Cuatro poemas melancolicos (1931-1935; Jose D. Frias, Mathilde Pomes, Comtesse de Noailles, and Luis G. Urbina); Cuatro poemas de Francisco A. de Icaza (de la vida honda y de la emocion fugitiva) (1936-1937); Seis poemas arcaicos (1938; I, Juan del Encina; II-VI, anonymous);7 and Tres poemas de Enrique Gonzalez Martinez (1939-1940).The poems are rather short-some have only one verse, the longer ones have six-nevertheless, all are rich in emotional content and imagery. A wide spectrum of topics includes love, melancholy, youth, happiness, sadness, pleasure, and fear; death and old age are recurrent themes. Dozens of allusions to concepts, objects, and especially to nature appear. These subjects provide a rich canvas for applying word painting techniques.Structurally, through-composed forms are employed. The piano provides introductions, endings, and interludes that separate verses. Aspects of ternary form emerge when the ending of a text shows a return to the initial idea; however, the return is usually small and the form can still be considered as through-composed.Within a specific cycle, distinct harmonic approaches among songs are sometimes found. Furthermore, changes of tempo, texture, harmony, and other musical parameters are often exploited to suit each stanza. Tonally, the vocal parts vary. …" @default.
