Giovanni Vallero And Claudio Chiara

Decent Essays
I think that the union between Giovanni Vallero and Claudio Chiara is not only artistic: the two musicians are, in fact, tied by a deep friendship and common Piedmontese origins.

Giovanni Vallero, born in 1937, is considered one of the greatest composers and interpreters for accordion and has succeeded in creating a style of an unmistakable technique. The passages of this cd mirror the soul, the fancy, the imagination of the maestro while playing jazz with the accordion, in perfect tuning with the sax contralto of Claudio Chiara, irreplaceable traveller companion.

    In Chapter 3, “Tex-Mex Conjunto Accordion Masculinity”, Vargas reveals how women are excluded from the Tex-Mex Conjunto accordion culture. According to the reading, women are discouraged from pursuing their interest in accordion culture from a very young age because of their body structure and enforced gender norms that have been passed down through generations. Vargas states that this instrument is usually dominated by men because of the upper body strength that is required to “master” it. Women, therefore, are discouraged from pursuing their interests due to “the supposed danger that playing the accordion poses to the female body” (pg. 129). This assumption innacurately labels women as fragile and incapable of comparing themselves to men.…

    Music has been invariably elucidated throughout history altering the definition of what is considered melodic, and revolutionizing the manner in which pieces are composed and one of the most prominent periods of musical transformations was the 17th century. It was during these influential times in which music was subjected to the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, both signifying turbulent times for the church and both fundamental in the salvation of polyphonic musical composition as we know it today. Composer John Jenkins’s Fantasia is a prime example of a piece born on the scrupulous limitations of this era. Fantasia No. 13 is a piece scored for chordophones, most particularly a string quartet with double bass, the arrangement…
