Text Setting in African Composition

Authors: Akin Euba;

Text Setting in African Composition

Abstract

L'A., originaire du Nigeria et compositeur de musique moderne, decrit l'utilisation du texte en tant que signifiant dans la composition musicale en Afrique subsaharienne contemporaine. Il soutient que les textes d'auteurs africains (en langues africaines ou en langues europeennes) peuvent contribuer a l'etablissement d'une identite panafricaine dans la composition, mettant egalement en evidence d'autres parametres contribuant a l'expression de cette identite : par exemple les instruments de musique traditionnels et les principes stylistiques, notamment la polyrythmie. Insistant sur l'importance du texte dans la musique traditionnelle africaine, il discute la relation entre identite africaine et choix du type et de la langue des textes utilises dans la composition musicale. Evoquant son experience et ses choix personnels, notamment son travail a partir de materiaux yoruba traditionnels et de la poesie africaine en langue anglaise, il plaide pour une ethnomusicologie creative fondant une composition integrant aussi bien l'apport de la tradition africaine que des textes en langues europeennes
