| Compare and contrast musical borrowing and the use of musical quotation in the music of Mahler, Ives, and Stravinsky. Consider the sources of their borrowing, the manner in which they incorporated borrowed music and to what extent this borrowed music is transformed by the composers. |
|
Definition
| Mahler often borrowed form himself using things from Kindertotenlider in Sym 6 and 9. Ives was influenced by many cultures being brought to America around the time, with Slaves bring polyrhythms and ring shouts and his Anglican-protestant background, borrowed form hymnals and English folk songs as well as creating dissonances like in his song General William Booth Enters Into Heaven. he uses text from English hymnals but puts them in a new melody with a strong dissonant background accompaniment. Stravinsky was influenced by traditional Russian fol music and even used them in his orchestrations. You can hear melodic sections of Russian folk songs or melodies based off of a Russian folk song, in his c=score for the Russian Ballet, Petrushka. Russian fol music may come in as a small rift of sorts where the symphony has a main theme going on and an instrument comes in and plays a tiny section from the folk song . |
