Topic: Battle of Varese


  
  Battle of Magenta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Magenta was fought on June 4, 1859 during the Austro-Sardinian War, resulting in a French-Sardinian victory under Napoleon III against the Austrians under Marshal Ferencz Gyulai.
The battle of Magenta was not particularly large, but it was a decisive victory for the French-Sardinian forces.
Marie Edme Patrice Maurice de MacMahon (1808-1893) was created Duke of Magenta for his role in this battle, and later served as President of the French Republic.

 Edgard Varese - Father of Electronic Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
It was during this time that Varese longed for new sounds, "..in music we composers are forced to use instruments that have not changed for two centuries." (6) His profound frustration in the sounds available to him eventually led to the death of his composition muse.
Cordu contacted Varese and told him that the piece would be called Poem Electronique, and that Varese was totally free to compose anything that he wanted.
Varese plunged into the work like a madman, consumed with the fulfillment of his visions.

In a year when one of the finest epic cantatas composed for film is rejected by no less arbitrary a force than a focus group composed of seventeen people, it's hard to believe there was a time when the final decision regarding the fate of a composer's work was placed in even fewer hands.
His signature sound from those scores is instantly recognisable in the "Battle of Britain Theme", a martial piece with machine-gun like snare drums and a brass melody that seems to scream adventure in its short opening arrangement.
The Varese re-release of the 1999 Ryko issue of the score includes not only the final film score, but also Walton's complete rejected score of about twenty minutes length.

The climate of Lombardy varies with its elevation; it is cold in the mountain districts, warm in the plains.
Emperor Charles V drove back France at the battle of Pavia, and restored Milan to the Sforzas, but only for a short time, as Francis, the last son of Ludovico, died without issue in 1535.
Contrarily to Varese, Seprio is quite far from the lake and possessed its own military and administrative organization.

We are hoping to hear from anyone who remembers this battle and looking to find out if there was a unit of 173rd Airbourn there at that time.

 GoodSound! "Music" Archives
Tape azimuth problems and some compressed dynamics show that Varese simply transposed the score from the original analog masters instead of completely restoring it.
But with great cuts like "The Nakatomi Plaza," "Gruber’s Arrival," and the emotionally charged "The Battle," less-than-stellar sound quality is no more than an annoyance.

In this regard, we owe a particular debt to the efforts of the composer Edgard Varese, who identified the criteria necessary for constructing a sound laboratory with the capacity to serve the needs of electroacoustic composers.
His ill-fated application in 1933 to the John Guggenheim Memorial Foundation for resources to establish a fully equipped sound laboratory clearly identified the need for equipment that could generate absolutely pure fundamentals which could then be loaded with series of harmonics to obtain timbres that would produce new sounds
A contemporary example of phonograph-based artifacts that cannot easily be created by any other means is the use of scratching techniques to create rhythmic bursts of sound, a technique that has resulted in an audio art movement known as "turntablism."

 Tiny Mix Tapes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The music alone isn't enough to fully appreciate its significance in the history of music.
Written for a 1958 exhibition at the Brussels World Fair, "Poème électronique" not only eschews tonality, harmony, and melody (a battle fought by early modernists, such as Schoenberg and Webern), but also deconstructs rhythm and sonority, elements that the second phase of modernists fought against.
Like the Abstract Expressionists in visual art, Varèse abstracted music in a manner resulting in a whole new level of communication, mounting a battle against all previous musical forms and musical archetypes with the nearly limitless possibilities of electronically-generated music.

Busoni’s statement, "Music is born free; and to win freedom is its destiny" was the very battle cry that Varèse needed to hear in his formative years.

 A Short History of Orchestral Percussion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Haydn and Mozart made occasional use of certain idiophones (bells, rattles, snare drums).
But Beethoven applied bass drums, crash cymbals and triangles more precisely; in The Battle of Victoria (1813), for example, he developed the spatial use of percussion by dividing the group into two sections placed on either side of the orchestra.
Starting in the mid-19th century, the role of percussion evolved more quickly, and by the last third of the 20th century percussion instruments were a major part of the orchestra.

In fact, Shannon was able to keep going strong for a year or two into the British Invasion, and never stopped trying to play original music, though his commercial prospects pretty much died after the mid-'60s.
Born Charles Westover, Shannon happened upon a gripping series of minor chords while playing with his band in Battle Creek, MI.
The chords would form the basis for his 1961 debut single, "Runaway," one of the greatest hits of the early '60s, with its unforgettable riffs, Shannon's amazing vocal range (which often glided off into a powerful falsetto), and the creepy, futuristic organ solo in the middle.
