English. Robert
Saxton 's Hortus Musicae
, Book 1 was commissioned
by Ian Richie for the
2013 City of London
Festival with funds
provided by the John S.
Cohen Foundation. The
first performance was
given by Clare Hammond on
June 24th 2013 at the
church of St Mary Le Bow.
The title, less 'literal'
in Latin than in the
vernacular, refers to the
idea of an
allegorical/metaphysical
garden (reference to a
'real', or existing,
garden might be implied
by Hortus Musicus) with
various facets. The
titles of the individual
pieces/movements, with
their respective garden
image, are as follows: 1)
Hortus Somniorum: a
fleeting vision of a
'magical' garden 2)
Hortus Temporis: a
reflection of/on the
floralclock described by
Andrew Marvell
(1621-1678) in his
[metaphysical] poem The
Garden: How well the
skilful gardener drew Of
flowers and herbs this
dial new Where from above
the milder sun Does
through a fragrant zodiac
run; And, as it works,
the industrious bee
Computes its time as well
as we. How could such
sweet and wholesome hours
Be reckoned but with
herbs and flowers! 3)
Hortus Cantus: A garden
in which nature 'sings'
(praises), in the manner
of a 'chorale prelude'
and ending with the
cantus firmus transformed
into bells. 4) Hortus
Infinitatis: A
meditative/formal garden
representing Time
suspended, in the form of
a palindromic prolation
canon combined with a
harmonic ground
(chaconne). 5) Saltatio
Hortensis: A (summer)
garden of dancing,
celebratory nature. Its
essence (and that of the
entire cycle, both
metaphorically and
structurally/formally) is
summed up in words spoken
by Miranda in WH Auden's
1944 Tempest
[Shakespeare]-inspired
poem The Sea And The
Mirror; So, to remember
our changing garden, we
Are linked as children in
a circle dancing.

beginning composition

1959 to Harvard, studying
with Randall Thompson,
G.W. Woodworth, and
principally with Robert
Moevs, and graduating in
1963 magna cum laude.
Awarded the Frank
Huntington Beebe Award
for study abroad, he
continued studying piano
with Friedrich Wührer
in Munich, and
composition, again with
Moevs, in Rome, where he
also gave piano recitals.
Wilson joined the faculty
of Vassar College in
1966. He was appointed to
the Mary Conover Mellon
Professorship of Music
there in 1988, and he has
served three times as
chairman of the
Department of Music.
Wilson has been
commissioned by the San
Francisco Symphony, the
American Symphony, the
New Juilliard Ensemble,
the Koussevitzky
Foundation, the Fromm
Foundation, Chamber Music
America, the Chicago
Chamber Musicians, the
Walter W. Naumburg
Foundation, and the
Library of Congress. His
works have been heard in
such American musical
centers as New York,
Philadelphia, Washington,
Boston, Cleveland, and
Los Angeles and at the
Aspen Music Festival, but
also in London, Berlin,
Frankfurt, Zurich, Milan,
Amsterdam, Graz,
Leningrad, Stockholm,
Tokyo, Bogota, and a
number of Australian
cities. The recipient in
1992 of a Guggenheim
Fellowship, he was
awarded the Elise L.
Stoeger Prize of the
Chamber Music Society of
Lincoln Center in 1994,
the Academy Award from
the American Academy of
Arts and Letters in 2004,
and has served as
composer in residence
with the American
Symphony Orchestra since
1992. Wilson has been
praised by 21st Century
Music as a
“splendidly
talented and highly
accomplished composer
whose music rewards
seeking out†and by
the New York Sun as
“possessed of a
hard-won idiom that has
grown and developed over
the years into a probing
blend of wit, classic
form, modern harmony, and
impressionistic
color.†Writing in
the New Yorker, Andrew
Porter called his String
Quartet No. 3 a
“richly wrought and
unusual
composition,†while
the New York Times called
it “a work of
substance and
expressivity ... [that]
merits a place in the
active
repertory.â€. $17.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

English. These
Piano Anthologies contain
pieces which have been
carefully selected from
previous piano exam lists
dating from 1988 to 2006.
All of the pieces in
these volumes have proved
popular with piano
students, teachers and
listeners, and we are
pleased to be able to
make them available again
in these new collections.
Pieces from these
anthologies may be chosen
as List B and C pieces,
allowing students to
increase their choice of
repertoire beyond the
already extensive
selection offered in the
LCM piano repertoire
lists for grade, recital
grade and leisure play
options. It is hoped that
these anthologies will
also be of interest to
piano students generally.
The range of styles
broadlycovers the late
18th century to the
present. Some familiar
pieces are present in
these volumes, but they
include pieces
additionally from
composers who have had a
distinguished career in
the role of teacher or
student at LCM. Amongst
the former are William
Lloyd Webber and Martyn
Williams, and amongst the
latter are Nicholas Grace
and John Guilfoyle, who
now have eminent academic
and professional musical
careers. $16.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 4 to 6 weeks | | |
