Opera, ballet, orchestral and chamber music.



From the time of the conquest of Central Asia and its union with Russia in 1868 Russian culture began to penetrate the area. In 1884 a musical society was formed in Tashkent, comprising a symphony orchestra, a choir, vocal soloists and instrumentalists. The study of the region's musical heritage began at the close of the 19th century, laying the foundations for Uzbek musical folklorism, and after the October Revolution ‘national’ culture was inaugurated by cultural strategists. From 1917 to 1932, the first music teaching institutes were opened and there was a broad development in recording and reworking of the Uzbek musical heritage. In June 1918, on the initiative of the musicians M. Mironov, V. Karelin and V. Uspensky, the Turkestani People's Conservatory was established in Tashkent, which from 1936 became the Tashkent State Conservatory. Similar conservatories were founded in Bukhara, Samarkand and Fergana.

An important role in the development of musical education in Uzbekistan was played by the Shazq Musiqa Maqtabi (‘School of Oriental Music’) in Bukhara. Leading singers, instrumentalists and experts on musical heritage, such as Ota Dzhalol Nasïrov, Domulla Khalim Ibadov and Ota Giyas Abdugani, acquired the skill of performing Shashmakom there. Also many future famous musicians of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan studied there, including Mukhtar Ashrafi, F. Shakhobov and Sh. Sakhibov.

A significant contribution to the development of Western art music in Uzbekistan was provided by Russian composers such as Uspensky, B. Nadezhdin, R. Glière, N. Roslavets, S. Vasilenko, A. Kozlovsky and G. Mushel'.

The foundation of the Composers' Union of Uzbekistan in 1938 was highly significant for the training of future specialists. Its members included professionals with long experience as composers or musicologists (Uspensky, Kozlovsky and Ye. Romanovskaya), musicians who were then young (I. Akbarov, M. Ashrafi and T. Sadïkov) and representatives of traditional folk music (T. Dzhalilov and Yu. Radzhabi) called Bastaqor.

The development of music drama in the republic in the 1930s led at the end of the decade to the writing of the first Uzbek operas. These were Buran (‘The Snowstorm’) by Ashrafi and Vasilenko (1938) and Leyli i Mejnun by Glière and Sadïkov (1940). In 1941, Ashrafi and Vasilenko wrote the opera Velikiy kanal (‘The Grand Canal’) on a contemporary theme: the building of the Ferghana Canal.

The most significant of the operas written in the republic during World War II are Ulugbek (1942) by Kozlovsky and Makhmud Tarabi (1944) by O. Chishko. The war years marked an enormous development in Uzbek musical life in the fields of musical education, performance and composition.

In 1943 and 1944 Mukhtar Ashrafi composed the first two symphonies written by an Uzbek composer: Geroicheskaya (‘Heroic’) and Slava pobedi-telyam (‘To the glory of winners’).

These first Uzbek symphonies were programmatic. In the postwar years symphonic music became one of the leading areas of composition. Along with symphonic suites there emerged poems, cantatas, symphonies, piano concertos and so forth. Brilliant young Uzbek composers of the 1960s and 70s included Khamrayev, Kurbanov, Jalil, Makhmudov, Tajiyev and Abdullayev. The most mature works are the symphonies of Tajiyev, Makhmudov and Abdullayev.

The establishment of the Uzbek symphonies began in the postwar period, particularly in the 1960s and 70s, when the national style was combined with ‘new traditions’ in all genres of Uzbek music. Given the need for adoption of polyphony by a previously monodic culture, the significance of symphonic music and the symphony orchestra acquired a symbolic status. It was deemed to be important that the ‘new traditions’ were born on the basis of the old, since this allowed continuity of the work itself and, to a great extent, the psychology of its acceptance. The most significant have been Symphonicheskye zasskasy (‘The symphonies stories’) by I. Akbarov (1972), and the third and fourth symphonies of Tajiev (1927, 1975).

Vocal symphonic music, oratorios and cantatas have undergone great development in Uzbekistan. The most significant have been Ashrafi's Pesn' o schast'ye (‘Song of Happiness’, 1951); R. Vil'danov's Voydite v mir (‘Enter the World’, 1961); S. Yudakov's Pamyati Lenina (‘In Memory of Lenin’, 1961); F. Yanov-Yanovsky's oratorio Golos (‘The Voice’); N. Zakirov's Oktyabr' (‘October’); and Chorus a cappella (1954) by M. Buzhanov.

Much vocal symphonic music was written in the following years by such composers as R. Vil'danov, A. Malakhov, Yanov-Yanovsky, Kh. Rakhimov, I. Khamrayev, F. Nazarov, Sh. Shaymardanov, M.M. Burkhanov, Akbarov and N. Zakirov. In 1974 M. Ashrafi's last piece was performed: an oratorio entitled Skazaniye o Rustame (‘The Lay of Rustam’), based on A. Firdousi's poem Shakh-namė.

In 1947 the Uzbek State Academic Grand Theatre of Opera and Ballet was based in Tashkent, giving a platform to many leading performers, including the singers M. Kari-Yakubov, K. Zakirov, Kh. Nasïrova, S. Yarashev, N. Khashimov and S. Kabulova; and the conductors Ashrafi, B. Inoyatov, A. Abdukayumov, F. Shamsutdinov, D. Abdurakhmanova.

Many operas and ballets by Uzbek composers have been performed in this theatre. The most famous are the operas Dilorom (1958) and Serdtse poėta (‘The Heart of the Poet’, 1962) by Ashrafi, Maisaraningishi (‘Maysara's Pranks’, 1959) by S. Yudakov, Kasïda ‘Alisheru Navoi’ by M. Burkhanov and Leopard iz Sogdianï (‘The Leopard from Sogdiana’, 1977) by Akbarov, and the ballets Amulet lyubvi (‘The Amulet of Love’, 1970), Lyubov' i mech (‘Love and the Sword’, 1974), V doline legend (‘In the Valley of Legends’, 1977) and Tomaris by U. Musayev.

The centre of the republic's concert-going life is the Uzbek State Philharmonia (1936) and Uzbek State Symphony Orchestra, developed under conductors such as P. Shpital'ny, Kozlovsky, Ashrafi, N. Alimov and K. Usmanov. Since the mid-1960s the orchestra has been headed by Z. Khaknazarov.

Uzbek composers have mastered all genres of modern music and since the 1970s a new generation of composers has begun to flower: N. Giyasov, R. Abdullayev, Kh. Rakhimov, A. Mansurov, A. Malakhov, R. Vil'danov and Yanov-Yanovsky, strengthening the music development by form and dramatic evolutions.

Uzoigwe, Joshua

(b Ogidi, 1 Jan 1946). Nigerian composer. After studying music at the University of Ibadan, Nsukka (diploma, 1973), he pursued graduate studies at Trinity College of Music (diploma, 1977). His completion of an MA in ethnomusicology at Queen’s University, Belfast, studying with John Blacking, marked an important shift in Uzoigwe’s theoretical background. In his works completed at Ibadan, notably the Igbo Songs (1972–3), he established as an important compositional trait the conscious application of Igbo instruments and performing practices, further reinforced through his systematic study of Igbo musical traditions in his doctoral dissertation. Such influences include the tonal properties of Igbo flutes, xylophones and drums, elements of improvisation within an aleatory framework and time-line patterns. Uzoigwe writes solely for African instruments in such works as Ritual Process (1980), solely for Western ones, as in Watermaid (1983), and for a combination of African and Western, as in Masquerade (1980). As well as the influence of Akin Euba on Uzoigwe’s theoretical and creative works, elements of the ‘African pianism’ espoused by Euba appear in Uzoigwe’s piano writing. Uzoigwe has held senior lecturing positions at Nigerian universities.
