Revalorisation des rituels ancestraux amérindiens du Canada dans la musique de Murray Schafer / Revalorization of Canadian Amerindian Rituals in Murray Schafer's Music
Abstract
The Canadian post-modern composer Murray Schafer is one of the most consistent composers in his original project, and his entire work is governed by the same key ideas. As a pedagogue, by giving courses in Ear Cleaning, as a musicologist, by writing articles about The Musical Soundscape, as a composer, by inventing works in which musicians, actors, spectators and even nature participate together in the artistic act (the cycle Patria), Schafer transmits everywhere the same exuberance and passion. It is with this innovative thought that he brings the music out of the concert halls and moves it to wild places to return to its ancestral sources.
