Any resemblance is purely coincidental

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Charles Dodge's "Any resemblance is purely coincidental" for tape. The piece aspires to represent the voice of Enrico Caruso in much the same way that Andy Warhol represented the figures of contemporary popular culture in his silk screen portraits: the voice is unmistakably that of Caruso, but with a difference. In "Any resemblance is purely coincidental," an operatic voice searches for an accompaniment: with the original orchestra, with copies of itself, with the piano, and with other computer sounds. The initial attempts are humorous; subsequently, other emotions are evoked until the loneliness of the "great performer" emerges. The voice is made with computer synthesis based on a 1907 recording of the aria "Vesti la giubba" from Ruggiero Leoncavallo's I Pagliacci sung by Enrico Caruso.

Madrigal

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Zoltán Pongrácz's Madrigal for tape. The aim of the composer was to create a madrigal, one of the most aristocratic of the choral genres of the Renaissance, through electronic means. He uses the characteristics of the Italian madrigal as an element of the musical color to create effects of the Gothic choral music. The raw material is based only on the recitation of the sonnet, as well as on sounds sung at various frequencies by the choir. Pongrácz also calls this work a concerto, but not in the traditional understanding of the genre, particularly in the case of the conception and the formal structure; he calls it such because of the contrast between the cymbalum and the spectra of the oscillators. Madrigal was realized at the Studio for Electronic Music of the Hungarian Radio in Budapest.
