Notions and Notation of Freedom in Music: from simple Ornamentation to Free Improvisation
Timothy Olsen (USA)
Using examples from my own works as well as the works of G.F. Handel (Organ Concertos, 1730's-40's), John Cage (Concert for Piano and Orchestra, 1957-58), and Lukas Foss (Renaissance Concerto, 1985), I would like to talk about the notion and notation of freedom in music--from simple ornamentation to free improvisation--and the difficulty many contemporary composers face: devising a notational system which can efficiently, completely, and (hopefully) eloquently express one's compositional ideas.

The Orchestra of Traditional Instruments of Bolivia
Nicolás Suárez-Eyzaguirre
La primera Orquesta de Instrumentos Nativos, fundada en 1979 bajo el auspicio de la Universidad Mayor de San Andrés en La Paz - Bolivia, nace dentro de un programa de extensión cultural que encuentra en la tradición musical de Bolivia los recursos adecuados para la formulación de una estética contemporánea original y la creación de una pedagogía musical propia. Desde el punto de vista de la creación, la Orquesta de Instrumentos Nativos es una vasta fuente de exploración sonora. Fruto de un proceso de investigación y experimentación, incorpora desde sus inicios una gran variedad de aerófonos y membranófonos provenientes de la organología aimara, región andina boliviana. El lenguaje de las obras surge del reconocimiento y la asimilación de conceptos estructurales característicos de la música nativa. Los instrumentos son aquí incorporados en la plenitud de su constitución física original, con su peculiar forma de emisión y su propio ordenamiento sonoro.
Como programa educativo, la orquesta trabaja con niños y jóvenes (entre 7 y 17 años) a través de instructores especializados, quienes les enseñan a tocar música e instrumentos musicales de la cultura aimara, utilizando dos nociones de su filosofía: la transmisión oral y la acción colectiva.
