HarMA SEMINAR EVENT

The HarMA – Harmony and Music Analysis – Seminar Event aims to be a unique and single place gathering Music Theory, Harmony and Music Analysis faculties to speak about their Home institutions’ organization and structure and especially to share Educational and Pedagogical Practices experiences in these fields. The HarMA Project has been created and chaired by Salvatore Gioveni (Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles) since 2018

There will be three days of sharing experiences around these subjects, as well as lectures, training sessions, catered lunch and networking. Cultural activities, visits, roundtable discussions and sightseeing city tours will be organized for the participants as well. The traditional HarMA Dinner will be organized on the second day.

The three days are supported by our Home Institution through the Erasmus+ Staff Training Mobility (STT) including a warm welcome by the host Institution !

Training Session: Comparative Analysis Session

Isaac Albéniz, Prelude (“Evocación”), from Iberia, book 1

Chaired by Marc GARCIA VITÒRIA
Conservatori Superior de Música “Joaquín Rodrigo” de València

Led by John Koslovsky (KULeuven, Belgium) and Alberto Martín Entrialgo (The Purcell School, U.K.).

Score to use
Audio
Deadline to submit your analysis : March 14th, 2025

The overall objective of this session is to compare various methodological and didactic
approaches to music analysis. To do this, we have selected the opening piece from the first
book of Isaac Albéniz’s famous piano suite, Iberia (1905-08). Written in Paris in 1905 and
originally construed as a prelude, “Evocación” is a work saturated with impressionistic
sonorities and scales. At the same time, the piece bears clear traces of classical form, phrase
structure, schemata, and cadence; not only that, but the work is also strongly evocative of
Spanish folk music through its incorporation of elements from the fandanguillo and the jota.
All told, Albéniz offers us a rich panoply of compositional and stylistic elements, and in
doing so invites us to approach his music from numerous analytical vantage points.
 
In order to facilitate discussion at the session, we ask that participants submit their own
analysis of the piece in advance (due date: 14 March). You are free to use any methodology
and terminology you see fit to approach the music, especially as you may use them in various
pedagogical settings (whether for a general music analysis course, for more advanced
analysis seminars, or for specific target groups or other music-educational settings). The
analysis can take the form of an annotated score, diagrams, and/or a short accompanying text.
You may elect to discuss structural and stylistic elements; aspects of performance; the
listening experience; or any other analytical modality you deem appropriate. You may choose
to provide an analysis of the entire movement, or you can decide to focus your attention on
specific passages for more detailed assessment. Most importantly, we are looking for your
analytical and didactic insights into the music, ones that will foster friendly debate and
collegial discussion among the HarMA participants. More detailed questions about the piece
will follow at a later date.

During the session a selection of analyses will be picked out for comparison, and audience
members will have ample opportunity to discuss their own findings. A performance of the
piece will be offered by Nicolás Puig Esteban of the Conservatori Superior “Joaquin
Rodrigo” de València.
