Programme notes *: #fat#The term "burlesque" has an interesting and varied meaning in the history of music. Originally from Italian, "burlesco" meant something joking or mocking. In a musical context, "burlesque" often describes humorous or satirical works that parody well-known musical and stylistic elements. This report highlights the various aspects and historical developments of the term "burlesque" in music.#fat# The term "burlesque" entered the world of music in the 17th and 18th centuries. During this period, burlesque was often used to present serious and formal pieces of music in a humorous way by exaggerating and parodying their themes and styles. This satirical approach to music was a means of both providing entertainment and challenging societal and cultural norms. Many renowned composers have created burlesques. A prominent example is Richard Strauss with his work "Burlesque in D minor" for piano and orchestra. This piece embodies the humorous and ironic nature of burlesque, and shows how the satirical treatment of a musical theme can result in a fascinating and entertaining composition. During the 19th century, burlesque also gained prominence in the theater, particularly in opera. Composers such as Jacques Offenbach incorporated burlesque elements into their operettas. Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld" is a classic example of how burlesque was used to humorously parody serious operas of its time. These works offered audiences an entertaining escape from reality while also being a subtle critique of the conventions of the opera world. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, burlesque continued to develop in the United States and became closely associated with vaudeville theater. These shows combined music, comedy, dance, and often erotic performances to appeal to a wide audience. The American burlesque show was known for its revealing and humorous performances that both shocked and amused. In modern times, burlesque has experienced a renaissance, specifically through the neo-burlesque movement. Contemporary performances combine traditional burlesque elements with modern influences, emphasizing artistic expression and satire. This revival shows how burlesque continues to be a flexible and adaptable medium for cultural and societal reflection. Musically, burlesque is characterized by its light, entertaining nature. It can combine elements of folk dances, marching music, operas, and other musical styles to create an ironic or humorous effect. This versatility allows burlesque to both treat serious subjects humorously and provide pure entertainment. The tradition of burlesque in music shows how artistic expressions can be used to both entertain and challenge cultural and societal norms. From its origins in the 17th century to modern neo-burlesque performances, burlesque remains a vibrant and dynamic part of musical culture. Quelle/source: musicainfo.net (KI)
