Transnationalism: multiple places or the non-place A transnational composer: Moisès Bertran (Catalunya, 1967) Transnationalism, cosmopolitanism, multi-locality, neo-nationalism? Chapter 5: Performance practice of Latin American Art Song The concept of performance practice Performance: a space of communication between performers and audience The performance of art song: an integrative space Art song and its performance Folk song and its performance Popular song and its performance Looking for the borders between Art song and Folk song: Following the steps of Marcel Duchamp Pierre Bourdieu and the concepts of field and habitus applied to the study of song Meaning-producing agents in the world of song Meaning-producing agents in the sub-field of art song Performance context of art song Meaning-producing agents in the sub-field of folk song Performance context of folk song Meaning-producing agents in the sub-field of popular song Performance context of popular song The dual status of folk and art song: Marcel Duchamp and the “ready-mades” Song: an elastic, flexible and integrating space Proposals for a new performance practice of Latin American art song Discography BibliographyReviewsBrava to Dr. Caicedo! Her efforts to bring Latin American Art Song to voice studios, recitals, and performance venues are applauded. The Latin American Art Song: Sounds of the Imagined Nations allows teachers, singers, and aficionados of song to truly imagine a more inclusive world in which repertoire from Latin America is celebrated and cherished. Dr. Caicedo discusses and analyses composers and song repertoire from Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Peru, and Venezuela. She presents song repertoire from three dimensions-socially, historically, and musically-melding folk song with the genre of art song. This book is a treasure trove of information and a rich resource that should be in every singer's library. -- Suzanne Rhodes Draayer, Winona State University With the publication of her new book on the Latin American art-song repertoire, Patricia fills a need that has been felt urgently by all singers, instrumentalists, and composers who are part of the community that loves and values this repertoire, and provides a gateway for those who have not yet discovered its riches. With her immense erudition, deep musicality, and profound advocacy, Dr. Caicedo leads the reader to understand the roots of this repertory and its various contexts: Twentieth-Century Nationalist movements, the revalidation of Folk musics, and the astonishing (but undervalued) technical and musical craft of the best Latin American composers of art-songs. For those who have had the good fortune of hearing Dr. Caicedo lecture and perform (and in my case, perform with her as accompanist), it is a body of work that she also champions through her beautifully sung live concerts and CDs. It goes without saying that Dr. Caicedo is the foremost living authority on the Latin American art-song and its evolution, and is shepherding its continuity through the commissioning of new works, and through her founding and direction of the Barcelona Festival of Song for over a decade. This festival also exposes audiences and informs performers on the beauty and interpretive requirements of Hispanoamerican songs in Catalan, Portuguese, and Indigenous languages of the Americas. -- Jose Lezcano, Keene State College With the publication of her new book on the Latin American art-song repertoire, Patricia fills a need that has been felt urgently by all singers, instrumentalists, and composers who are part of the community that loves and values this repertoire, and provides a gateway for those who have not yet discovered its riches.
