Kevin
Volans (the composer)
notes on the
piece: In the past
I have been interested in
trying to go beyond
historicism (1970s),
beyond style(1980s) and
beyond form (1990s) in my
work. Looking back over
the music of the
twentiethcentury I was
struck by the fact the
nearlyall of it is
extremely 'busy', almost
cluttered. Italmost
seemed that composers
felt compelled to look
industrious. In the new
millennium Ithought it
would be interesting to
try and eliminate
content. I also aspired
to movingfrommusic (sound
as art) to art (art as
sound). This, of course,
has already been done by
a numberof composers
(many from New York -
Phil Niblock and La Monte
Young, to name but two),
butit was something I had
never tried.AlthoughI
found it annoying that
the label 'minimalist'
was given to my
African-based work,and
fearing this would make
the label stick, I set
out to write a piece
which reflected my loveof
minimal painting and
architecture. The
Japanesehave a term
'wabi' meaning
'voluntarypoverty' or
'emptiness' to describe
their restrained minimal
aesthetic, an aesthetic
which,however, pays
greatest attention to the
quality of material and
fine detail. I like to
think thatthelack of
excessive pitch material
in this piece reflects a
kind of voluntary
poverty.When Shiva is
portrayed dancing (as
Nataraj) He is depicted
in a circle of flames
crushing asmall figure -
the ego - underfoot.You
get theimpression He
dances on the spot, not
movingaround at all. I
like that. The piece
is dedicated to Pablo

string quartet was
written for the Pacifica
Quartet, who are
featuring it in numerous
performances from May
2014 through February
2016, across the country
and abroad. Their blog
page dedicated to the
work also features the
composer's notes, for
more indepth insight.
...impassioned solos
emerge from ominous
quiet, and high arpeggios
in the violins quiver
alongside the earthy
cello. Ms. Ran skillfully
deploys these extremes of
color, volume and pitch,
yet the overall somewhat
chilly impression is one
of poise. -- Zachary
Woolfe, The New York
Times. My third string
quartet was composed at
the invitation of the
Pacifica
Quartet, whose
music-making I have come
to know closely and
admire hugely as resident
artists at the University
of Chicago. Already
in our early
conversations Pacifica
proposed that this
quartet might, in some
manner, refer to the
visual arts as a point of
germination. Probing
further, I found out that
the quartet members had
special interest in art
created during the
earlier part of the 20th
century, perhaps between
the two world wars.Â
It was my good fortune to
have met, a short while
later, while in residence
at the American Academy
in Rome in the fall of
2011, art conservationist
Albert Albano who steered
me to the work of Felix
Nussbaum (1904-1944), a
German-Jewish painter
who, like so many others,
perished in the Holocaust
at a young age, and who
left some powerful,
deeply moving art that
spoke to the life that
was unraveling around
him. The title of my
string quartet takes its
inspiration from a major
exhibit devoted to art by
German artists of the
period of the Weimar
Republic (1919-1933)
titled “Glitter and
Doom: German Portraits
from the 1920sâ€,
first shown at New
York’s
Metropolitan Museum of
Art in 2006-07.Â
Nussbaum would have been
a bit too young to be
included in this
exhibit. His most
noteworthy art was
created in the last very
few years of his short
life. The
exhibit’s
evocative title, however,
suggested to me the idea
of “Glitter, Doom,
Shards, Memory†as
a way of framing a
possible musical
composition that would be
an homage to his life and
art, and to that of so
many others like him
during that era.
 Knowing that their
days were numbered, yet
intent on leaving a mark,
a legacy, a memory, their
art is triumph of the
human spirit over
annihilation. Parallel
to my wish to compose a
string quartet that,
typically for this genre,
would exist as
“pure musicâ€,
independent of a
narrative, was my desire
to effect an awareness in
my listener of matters
which are, to me, of
great human concern.
 To my mind there is
no contradiction between
the two goals. Â As in
several other works
composed since 1969, this
is my way of saying
‘do not
forget’, something
that, I believe, can be
done through music with
special power and
poignancy. Â Â The
individual titles of the
quartet’s four
movements give an
indication of some of the
emotional strands this
work explores. 1)
“That which
happened†(das was
geschah) – is how
the poet Paul Celan
referred to the Shoah
– the Holocaust.
 These simple words
served for me, in the
first movement, as a
metaphor for the way in
which an
“ordinaryâ€
life, with its daily flow
and its sense of sweet
normalcy, was shockingly,
inhumanely, inexplicably
shattered. 2)
“Menace†is a
shorter movement,
mimicking a Scherzo.
 It is also
machine-like, incessant,
with an occasional,
recurring, waltz-like
little tune –
perhaps the chilling
grimace we recognize from
the executioner’s
guillotine mask. Â Like
the death machine it
alludes to, it gathers
momentum as it goes, and
is
unstoppable. 3) â
If I must perish - do
not let my paintings
dieâ€; these words
are by Felix Nussbaum
who, knowing what was
ahead, nonetheless
continued painting till
his death in Auschwitz in
1944. Â If the heart of
the first movement is the
shuddering interruption
of life as we know it,
the third movement tries
to capture something of
what I can only imagine
to be the conflicting
states of mind that would
have made it possible,
and essential, to
continue to live and
practice one’s art
– bearing witness
to the events.
 Creating must have
been, for Nussbaum and
for so many others, a way
of maintaining sanity,
both a struggle and a
catharsis – an act
of defiance and salvation
all at the same
time. 4)
“Shards,
Memory†is a direct
reference to my
quartet’s title.
 Only shards are left.
 And memory.  The
memory is of things large
and small, of unspeakable
tragedy, but also of the
song and the dance, the
smile, the hopes. All
things human. Â As we
remember, in the face of
death’s silence,
we restore dignity to
those who are
gone.—Shulamit

English-German-French-Dut
ch. Looking Up,
Moving On was
commissioned by the Tokyo
Kosei Wind Orchestra and
was part of a tour
programme they gave in
May 2012, a tour which
included many areas that
had been devastated by
the 2011 earthquake and
tsunami.The theme of the
piece is the powerful
ability of mankind to
overcome such disasters
and look forward to a
positive future; it opens
in an appropriately
optimistic mood,
featuring bright
orchestral colours and
extensive syncopation. A
chorale-like fanfare is
soon introduced on horns
and euphonium, answered
by chirpy woodwinds. The
mood subsides until an
alto saxophone introduces
a brief quotation from
the composer's The Sun
Will RiseAgain, which
was written to raise
funds for victims of the
2011 disaster. The mood
soon changes and the
horns introduce a noble
theme under woodwind
flourishes. This leads to
the main Vivo
section of the piece
which is characterised
again by strong
syncopations as part of a
florid theme in the low
woodwinds. This melody
undergoes varied
development by all
sections of the band
until the horn fanfare
returns triumphally on
the brass. This is
extended and leads to a
faster coda which brings
together previous
material in counterpoint
to close the work in
optimistic mood.
Looking Up,
Moving On is
gecomponeerd in opdracht
van het Tokyo Kosei Wind
Orchestra. Het werk
maakte deel uit van een
programma uit mei 2012,
dat werd uitgevoerd
tijdens een tournee
waarbij veel regio's
werden bezocht die waren
verwoest door de
aardbeving en tsunami van
2011.Het thema van het
werk is het buitengewone
vermogen van de mens om
dergelijke rampen te
boven te komen en vooruit
te kijken naar een
positieve toekomst. De
opening is dan ook
optimistisch van
karakter, met heldere
orkestrale kleuren en een
rijkelijke syncopering.
Al snel wordt er een
koraalachtige fanfare
geintroduceerd door de
hoorns en het euphonium,
waarop een levendig
antwoord volgt in
dehoutblazerssectie. De
sfeer wordt dan steeds
kalmer totdat een
altsaxofoon een kort
citaat laat horen uit een
eerder werk van de
componist, The Sun
Will Rise Again, dat
werd geschreven om geld
in te zamelen voor de
slachtoffers van de ramp
uit 2011. De stemming
slaat vlug weer om: de
hoorns introduceren een
nobel thema, dat
weerklinkt onder
versieringen in het hout.
Dit leidt naar het Vivo,
het hoofdgedeelte, dat
eveneens wordt gekenmerkt
door sterke
syncoperingen, als
onderdeel van een
sierlijk thema in het
lage hout. De melodie
ondergaat een gevarieerde
ontwikkeling binnen alle
secties van het orkest,
totdat de hoornfanfare op
triomfantelijke wijze
terugkeert in het koper.
De fanfare wordt
vervolgens verder
uitgewerkt en voert ons
mee naar een snellere
coda, die voorafgaand
materiaal in contrapunt
samenbrengt en de
compositie in
optimistische stemming
afsluit.
Looking Up,
Moving Down wurde vom
Tokyo Kosei Wind
Orchestra in Auftrag
gegeben und war Teil des
Konzertprogramms einer
Tour im Mai 2012, welche
viele Gebiete einschloss,
die vom Erdbeben und
Tsunami im Jahr 2011
zerstort worden waren.
Thema dieses Stuckes ist
die gewaltige Fahigkeit
der Menschheit, uber
solche Katastrophen
hinwegzukommen und voll
Optimismus in die Zukunft
zu blicken; es beginnt
dementsprechend in einer
positiven Stimmung mit
strahlenden
Orchesterfarben und einer
ausgepragten
Synkopierung. Schon bald
wird eine choralartige
Fanfare auf den Hornern
und im Euphonium
vorgestellt, die von
munteren Holzblasern
beantwortet wird. Die
Stimmung flaut ab, bis
einAltsaxophon ein kurzes
Zitat aus The Sun Will
Rise Again anspielt,
das der Komponist zur
Spendenbeschaffung fur
die Opfer des Unglucks
2011 geschrieben hatte.
Kurz darauf folgt ein
Stimmungswechsel und die
Horner prasentieren ein
stattliches Thema,
begleitet von Fanfaren in
den Holzblasern. Dies
fuhrt zum mit Vivo
uberschriebenen Hauptteil
des Stuckes, der wiederum
von starken
Synkopierungen gepragt
ist, die Teil eines
bluhenden Themas in den
tiefen Holzblasern sind.
Diese Melodie durchlauft
eine vielgestaltige
Entwicklung durch alle
Instrumentengruppen des
Blasorchesters, bis das
Blech mit der Hornfanfare
triumphal zuruckkehrt.
Dies wird erweitert und
fuhrt zu einer
schnelleren Coda, in dem
verschiedenes zuvor
gehortes Material
kontrapunktisch
zusammenkommt, um das
Werk in einer
optimistischen Stimmung
zu beenden.

introduise un court
extrait de The Sun

meme compositeur, une
piece ecrite pour
collecter des fonds en
faveur des victimes du
desastre de 2011. Le
climat change hativement
lorsque les cors
introduisent un theme
noble par-dessus des
fioritures executees par
les bois. Vient ensuite
la principale section
vivo de la piece, qui se
caracterise, encore une
fois, par des syncopes
tres marquees dans le
cadre d'un theme fleuri
assure dans le registre
grave des bois. Cette
melodie fait l'objet de
divers developpements par
tous les pupitres de
l'orchestre jusqu'au
retour triomphant de la
fanfare soutenue par les
cuivres. Celle-ci se
prolonge pour mener a une
coda plus rapide qui
rassemble les elements
precedents en contrepoint
pour clore la piece dans
un climat optimiste. $30.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

680160911288. Intro
duction Gustave Vogt's
Musical Paris Gustave
Vogt (1781-1870) was born
into the Age of
Enlightenment, at the
apex of the
Enlightenment's outreach.
During his lifetime he
would observe its effect
on the world. Over the
course of his life he
lived through many
changes in musical style.
When he was born,
composers such as Mozart
and Haydn were still
writing masterworks
revered today, and
eighty-nine years later,
as he departed the world,
the new realm of
Romanticism was beginning
to emerge with Mahler,
Richard Strauss and
Debussy, who were soon to
make their respective
marks on the musical
world. Vogt himself left
a huge mark on the
musical world, with
critics referring to him
as the grandfather of the
modern oboe and the
premier oboist of Europe.
Through his eighty-nine
years, Vogt would live
through what was perhaps
the most turbulent period
of French history. He
witnessed the French
Revolution of 1789,
followed by the many
newly established
governments, only to die
just months before the
establishment of the
Third Republic in 1870,
which would be the
longest lasting
government since the
beginning of the
revolution. He also
witnessed the
transformation of the
French musical world from
one in which opera
reigned supreme, to one
in which virtuosi,
chamber music, and
symphonic music ruled.
Additionally, he
experienced the
development of the oboe
right before his eyes.
When he began playing in
the late eighteenth
century, the standard
oboe had two keys (E and
Eb) and at the time of
his death in 1870, the
System Six Triebert oboe
(the instrument adopted
by Conservatoire
professor, Georges
Gillet, in 1882) was only
five years from being
developed. Vogt was born
March 18, 1781 in the
ancient town of
Strasbourg, part of the
Alsace region along the
German border. At the
time of his birth,
Strasbourg had been
annexed by Louis XIV, and
while heavily influenced
by Germanic culture, had
been loosely governed by
the French for a hundred
years. Although it is
unclear when Vogt began
studying the oboe and
when his family made its
move to the French
capital, the Vogts may
have fled Strasbourg in
1792 after much of the
city was destroyed during
the French Revolution. He
was without question
living in Paris by 1798,
as he enrolled on June 8
at the newly established
Conservatoire national de
Musique to study oboe
with the school's first
oboe professor,
Alexandre-Antoine
Sallantin (1775-1830).
Vogt's relationship with
the Conservatoire would
span over half a century,
moving seamlessly from
the role of student to
professor. In 1799, just
a year after enrolling,
he was awarded the
premier prix, becoming
the fourth oboist to
achieve this award. By
1802 he had been
appointed repetiteur,
which involved teaching
the younger students and
filling in for Sallantin
in exchange for a free
education. He maintained
this rank until 1809,
when he was promoted to
professor adjoint and
finally to professor
titulaire in 1816 when
Sallantin retired. This
was a position he held
for thirty-seven years,
retiring in 1853, making
him the longest serving
oboe professor in the
school's history. During
his tenure, he became the
most influential oboist
in France, teaching
eighty-nine students,
plus sixteen he taught
while he was professor
adjoint and professor
titulaire. Many of these
students went on to be
famous in their own
right, such as Henri Brod
(1799-1839), Apollon
Marie-Rose Barret
(1804-1879), Charles
Triebert (1810-1867),
Stanislas Verroust
(1814-1863), and Charles
Colin (1832-1881). His
influence stretches from
French to American oboe
playing in a direct line
from Charles Colin to
Georges Gillet
(1854-1920), and then to
Marcel Tabuteau
(1887-1966), the oboist
Americans lovingly
describe as the father of
American oboe playing.
Opera was an important
part of Vogt's life. His
first performing position
was with the
Theatre-Montansier while
he was still studying at
the Conservatoire.
Shortly after, he moved
to the Ambigu-Comique
and, in 1801 was
appointed as first oboist
with the Theatre-Italien
in Paris. He had been in
this position for only a
year, when he began
playing first oboe at the
Opera-Comique. He
remained there until
1814, when he succeeded
his teacher,
Alexandre-Antoine
Sallantin, as soloist
with the Paris Opera, the
top orchestra in Paris at
the time. He played with
the Paris Opera until
1834, all the while
bringing in his current
and past students to fill
out the section. In this
position, he began to
make a name for himself;
so much so that specific
performances were
immortalized in memoirs
and letters. One comes
from a young Hector
Berlioz (1803-1865) after
having just arrived in
Paris in 1822 and
attended the Paris
Opera's performance of
Mehul's Stratonice and
Persuis' ballet Nina. It
was in response to the
song Quand le bien-amie
reviendra that Berlioz
wrote: I find it
difficult to believe that
that song as sung by her
could ever have made as
true and touching an
effect as the combination
of Vogt's instrument...
Shortly after this,
Berlioz gave up studying
medicine and focused on
music. Vogt frequently
made solo and chamber
appearances throughout
Europe. His busiest
period of solo work was
during the 1820s. In 1825
and 1828 he went to
London to perform as a
soloist with the London
Philharmonic Society.
Vogt also traveled to
Northern France in 1826
for concerts, and then in
1830 traveled to Munich
and Stuttgart, visiting
his hometown of
Strasbourg on the way.
While on tour, Vogt
performed Luigi
Cherubini's (1760-1842)
Ave Maria, with soprano
Anna (Nanette) Schechner
(1806-1860), and a
Concertino, presumably
written by himself. As a
virtuoso performer in
pursuit of repertoire to
play, Vogt found himself
writing much of his own
music. His catalog
includes chamber music,
variation sets, vocal
music, concerted works,
religious music, wind
band arrangements, and
pedagogical material. He
most frequently performed
his variation sets, which
were largely based on
themes from popular
operas he had, presumably
played while he was at
the Opera. He made his
final tour in 1839,
traveling to Tours and
Bordeaux. During this
tour he appeared with the
singer Caroline Naldi,
Countess de Sparre, and
the violinist Joseph
Artot (1815-1845). This
ended his active career
as a soloist. His
performance was described
in the Revue et gazette
musicale de Paris as
having lost none of his
superiority over the
oboe.... It's always the
same grace, the same
sweetness. We made a trip
to Switzerland, just by
closing your eyes and
listening to Vogt's oboe.
Vogt was also active
performing in Paris as a
chamber and orchestral
musician. He was one of
the founding members of
the Societe des Concerts
du Conservatoire, a group
established in 1828 by
violinist and conductor
Francois-Antoine Habeneck
(1781-1849). The group
featured faculty and
students performing
alongside each other and
works such as Beethoven
symphonies, which had
never been heard in
France. He also premiered
the groundbreaking
woodwind quintets of
Antonin Reicha
(1770-1836). After his
retirement from the Opera
in 1834 and from the
Societe des Concerts du
Conservatoire in 1842,
Vogt began to slow down.
His final known
performance was of
Cherubini's Ave Maria on
English horn with tenor
Alexis Dupont (1796-1874)
in 1843. He then began to
reflect on his life and
the people he had known.
When he reached his 60s,
he began gathering
entries for his Musical
Album of Autographs.
Autograph Albums Vogt's
Musical Album of
Autographs is part of a
larger practice of
keeping autograph albums,
also commonly known as
Stammbuch or Album
Amicorum (meaning book of
friendship or friendship
book), which date back to
the time of the
Reformation and the
University of Wittenberg.
It was during the
mid-sixteenth century
that students at the
University of Wittenberg
began passing around
bibles for their fellow
students and professors
to sign, leaving messages
to remember them by as
they moved on to the next
part of their lives. The
things people wrote were
mottos, quotes, and even
drawings of their family
coat of arms or some
other scene that meant
something to the owner.
These albums became the
way these young students
remembered their school
family once they had
moved on to another
school or town. It was
also common for the
entrants to comment on
other entries and for the
owner to amend entries
when they learned of
important life details
such as marriage or
death. As the practice
continued, bibles were
set aside for emblem
books, which was a
popular book genre that
featured allegorical
illustrations (emblems)
in a tripartite form:
image, motto, epigram.
The first emblem book
used for autographs was
published in 1531 by
Andrea Alciato
(1492-1550), a collection
of 212 Latin emblem
poems. In 1558, the first
book conceived for the
purpose of the album
amicorum was published by
Lyon de Tournes
(1504-1564) called the
Thesaurus Amicorum. These
books continued to
evolve, and spread to
wider circles away from
universities. Albums
could be found being kept
by noblemen, physicians,
lawyers, teachers,
painters, musicians, and
artisans. The albums
eventually became more
specialized, leading to
Musical Autograph Albums
(or Notestammbucher).
Before this
specialization, musicians
contributed in one form
or another, but our
knowledge of them in
these albums is mostly
limited to individual
people or events. Some
would simply sign their
name while others would
insert a fragment of
music, usually a canon
(titled fuga) with text
in Latin. Canons were
popular because they
displayed the
craftsmanship of the
composer in a limited
space. Composers
well-known today,
including J. S. Bach,
Telemann, Mozart,
Beethoven, Dowland, and
Brahms, all participated
in the practice, with
Beethoven being the first
to indicate an interest
in creating an album only
of music. This interest
came around 1815. In an
1845 letter from Johann
Friedrich Naue to
Heinrich Carl
Breidenstein, Naue
recalled an 1813 visit
with Beethoven, who
presented a book
suggesting Naue to
collect entries from
celebrated musicians as
he traveled. Shortly
after we find Louis Spohr
speaking about leaving on
his grand tour through
Europe in 1815 and of his
desire to carry an album
with entries from the
many artists he would
come across. He wrote in
his autobiography that
his most valuable
contribution came from
Beethoven in 1815.
Spohr's Notenstammbuch,
comprised only of musical
entries, is
groundbreaking because it
was coupled with a
concert tour, allowing
him to reach beyond the
Germanic world, where the
creation of these books
had been nearly
exclusive. Spohr brought
the practice of
Notenstammbucher to
France, and in turn
indirectly inspired Vogt
to create a book of his
own some fifteen years
later. Vogt's Musical
Album of Autographs
Vogt's Musical Album of
Autographs acts as a form
of a memoir, displaying
mementos of musicians who
held special meaning in
his life as well as
showing those with whom
he was enamored from the
younger generation. The
anonymous Pie Jesu
submitted to Vogt in 1831
marks the beginning of an
album that would span
nearly three decades by
the time the final entry,
an excerpt from Charles
Gounod's (1818-1893)
Faust, which premiered in
1859, was submitted.
Within this album we find
sixty-two entries from
musicians whom he must
have known very well
because they were
colleagues at the
Conservatoire, or
composers of opera whose
works he was performing
with the Paris Opera.
Other entries came from
performers with whom he
had performed and some
who were simply passing
through Paris, such as
Joseph Joachim
(1831-1907). Of the
sixty-three total
entries, some are
original, unpublished
works, while others came
from well-known existing
works. Nineteen of these
works are for solo piano,
sixteen utilize the oboe
or English horn, thirteen
feature the voice (in
many different
combinations, including
vocal solos with piano,
and small choral settings
up to one with double
choir), two feature
violin as a solo
instrument, and one even
features the now obscure
ophicleide. The
connections among the
sixty-two contributors to
Vogt's album are
virtually never-ending.
All were acquainted with
Vogt in some capacity,
from long-time
friendships to
relationships that were
created when Vogt
requested their entry.
Thus, while Vogt is the
person who is central to
each of these musicians,
the web can be greatly
expanded. In general, the
connections are centered
around the Conservatoire,
teacher lineages, the
Opera, and performing
circles. The
relationships between all
the contributors in the
album parallel the
current musical world, as
many of these kinds of
relationships still
exist, and permit us to
fantasize who might be
found in an album created
today by a musician of
the same standing. Also
important, is what sort
of entries the
contributors chose to
pen. The sixty-three
entries are varied, but
can be divided into
published and unpublished
works. Within the
published works, we find
opera excerpts, symphony
excerpts, mass excerpts,
and canons, while the
unpublished works include
music for solo piano,
oboe or English horn,
string instruments
(violin and cello), and
voice (voice with piano
and choral). The music
for oboe and English horn
works largely belong in
the unpublished works of
the album. These entries
were most likely written
to honor Vogt. Seven are
for oboe and piano and
were contributed by
Joseph Joachim, Pauline
Garcia Viardot
(1821-1910), Joseph
Artot, Anton Bohrer
(1783-1852), Georges
Onslow (1784-1853),
Desire Beaulieu
(1791-1863), and Narcisse
Girard (1797-1860). The
common thread between
these entries is the
simplicity of the melody
and structure. Many are
repetitive, especially
Beaulieu's entry, which
features a two-note
ostinato throughout the
work, which he even
included in his
signature. Two composers
contributed pieces for
English horn and piano,
and like the previous
oboe entries, are simple
and repetitive. These
were written by Michele
Carafa (1787-1872) and
Louis Clapisson
(1808-1866). There are
two other entries that
were unpublished works
and are chamber music.
One is an oboe trio by
Jacques Halevy
(1799-1862) and the other
is for oboe and strings
(string trio) by J. B.
Cramer (1771-1858). There
are five published works
in the album for oboe and
English horn. There are
three from operas and the
other two from symphonic
works. Ambroise Thomas
(1811-1896) contributed
an excerpt from the
Entr'acte of his opera La
Guerillero, and was
likely chosen because the
oboe was featured at this
moment. Hippolyte Chelard
(1789-1861) also chose to
honor Vogt by writing for
English horn. His entry,
for English horn and
piano, is taken from his
biggest success, Macbeth.
The English horn part was
actually taken from Lady
Macbeth's solo in the
sleepwalking scene.
Vogt's own entry also
falls into this category,
as he entered an excerpt
from Donizetti's Maria di
Rohan. The excerpt he
chose is a duet between
soprano and English horn.
There are two entries
featuring oboe that are
excerpted from symphonic
repertoire. One is a
familiar oboe melody from
Beethoven's Pastoral
Symphony entered by his
first biographer, Anton
Schindler (1796-1864).
The other is an excerpt
from Berlioz's choral
symphony, Romeo et
Juliette. He entered an
oboe solo from the Grand
Fete section of the
piece. Pedagogical
benefit All of these
works are lovely, and fit
within the album
wonderfully, but these
works also are great oboe
and English horn music
for young students. The
common thread between
these entries is the
simplicity of the melody
and structure. Many are
repetitive, especially
Beaulieu's entry, which
features a two-note
ostinato throughout the
work in the piano. This
repetitive structure is
beneficial for young
students for searching
for a short solo to
present at a studio
recital, or simply to
learn. They also work
many technical issues a
young player may
encounter, such as
mastering the rolling
finger to uncover and
recover the half hole.
This is true of Bealieu's
Pensee as well as
Onslow's Andantino.
Berlioz's entry from
Romeo et Juliette
features very long
phrases, which helps with
endurance and helps keep
the air spinning through
the oboe. Some of the
pieces also use various
levels of ornamentation,
from trills to grace
notes, and short
cadenzas. This allows the
student to learn
appropriate ways to
phrase with these added
notes. The chamber music
is a valuable way to
start younger students
with chamber music,
especially the short
quartet by Cramer for
oboe and string trio. All
of these pieces will not
tax the student to learn
a work that is more
advanced, as well as give
them a full piece that
they can work on from
beginning to end in a
couple weeks, instead of
months. Editorial Policy
The works found in this
edition are based on the
manuscript housed at the
Morgan Library in New
York City (call number
Cary 348, V886. A3). When
possible, published
scores were consulted and
compared to clarify pitch
and text. The general
difficulties in creating
an edition of these works
stem from entries that
appear to be hastily
written, and thus omit
complete articulations
and dynamic indications
for all passages and
parts. The manuscript has
been modernized into a
performance edition. The
score order from the
manuscript has been
retained. If an entry
also exists in a
published work, and this
was not indicated on the
manuscript, appropriate
titles and subtitles have
been added tacitly. For
entries that were
untitled, the beginning
tempo marking or
expressive directive has
been added as its title
tacitly. Part names have
been changed from the
original language to
English. If no part name
was present, it was added
tacitly. All scores are
transposing where
applicable. Measure
numbers have been added
at the beginning of every
system. Written
directives have been
retained in the original
language and are placed
relative to where they
appear in the manuscript.
Tempo markings from the
manuscript have been
retained, even if they
were abbreviated, i.e.,
Andte. The barlines,
braces, brackets, and
clefs are modernized. The
beaming and stem
direction has been
modernized. Key
signatures have been
modernized as some of the
flats/sharps do not
appear on the correct
lines or spaces. Time
signatures have been
modernized. In a few
cases, when a time
signature was missing in
the manuscript, it has
been added tacitly.
Triplet and rhythmic
groupings have been
modernized. Slurs, ties,
and articulations
(staccato and accent)
have been modernized.
Slurs, ties, and
articulations have been
added to parallel
passages tacitly.
Courtesy accidentals
found in the manuscript
have been removed, unless
it appeared to be helpful
to the performer. Dynamic
indications from the
manuscript have been
retained, except where
noted. --Kristin
Leitterman. Introducti
onGustave Vogt’s
Musical ParisGustave Vogt
(1781–1870) was
born into the “Age
of Enlightenment,â€
at the apex of the
Enlightenment’s
outreach. During his
lifetime he would observe
its effect on the world.
Over the course of his
life he lived through
many changes in musical
style. When he was born,
composers such as Mozart
and Haydn were still
writing masterworks
revered today, and
eighty-nine years later,
as he departed the world,
the new realm of
Romanticism was beginning
to emerge with Mahler,
Richard Strauss and
Debussy, who were soon to
make their respective
marks on the musical
world. Vogt himself left
a huge mark on the
musical world, with
critics referring to him
as the “grandfather
of the modern oboeâ€
and the “premier
oboist of
Europe.â€Through his
eighty-nine years, Vogt
would live through what
was perhaps the most
turbulent period of
French history. He
witnessed the French
Revolution of 1789,
followed by the many
newly established
governments, only to die
just months before the
establishment of the
Third Republic in 1870,
which would be the
longest lasting
government since the
beginning of the
revolution. He also
witnessed the
transformation of the
French musical world from
one in which opera
reigned supreme, to one
in which virtuosi,
chamber music, and
symphonic music ruled.
Additionally, he
experienced the
development of the oboe
right before his eyes.
When he began playing in
the late eighteenth
century, the standard
oboe had two keys (E and
Eb) and at the time of
his death in 1870, the
“System Sixâ€
Triébert oboe (the
instrument adopted by
Conservatoire professor,
Georges Gillet, in 1882)
was only five years from
being developed.Vogt was
born March 18, 1781 in
the ancient town of
Strasbourg, part of the
Alsace region along the
German border. At the
time of his birth,
Strasbourg had been
annexed by Louis XIV, and
while heavily influenced
by Germanic culture, had
been loosely governed by
the French for a hundred
years. Although it is
unclear when Vogt began
studying the oboe and
when his family made its
move to the French
capital, the Vogts may
have fled Strasbourg in
1792 after much of the
city was destroyed during
the French Revolution. He
was without question
living in Paris by 1798,
as he enrolled on June 8
at the newly established
Conservatoire national de
Musique to study oboe
with the school’s
first oboe professor,
Alexandre-Antoine
Sallantin
(1775–1830).Vogtâ
€™s relationship with
the Conservatoire would
span over half a century,
moving seamlessly from
the role of student to
professor. In 1799, just
a year after enrolling,
he was awarded the
premier prix, becoming
the fourth oboist to
achieve this award. By
1802 he had been
appointed
répétiteur, which
involved teaching the
younger students and
filling in for Sallantin
in exchange for a free
education. He maintained
this rank until 1809,
when he was promoted to
professor adjoint and
finally to professor
titulaire in 1816 when
Sallantin retired. This
was a position he held
for thirty-seven years,
retiring in 1853, making
him the longest serving
oboe professor in the
school’s history.
During his tenure, he
became the most
influential oboist in
France, teaching
eighty-nine students,
plus sixteen he taught
while he was professor
adjoint and professor
titulaire. Many of these
students went on to be
famous in their own
right, such as Henri Brod
(1799–1839),
Apollon Marie-Rose Barret
(1804–1879),
Charles Triebert
(1810–1867),
Stanislas Verroust
(1814–1863), and
Charles Colin
(1832–1881). His
influence stretches from
French to American oboe
playing in a direct line
from Charles Colin to
Georges Gillet
(1854–1920), and
then to Marcel Tabuteau
(1887–1966), the
oboist Americans lovingly
describe as the
“father of American
oboe playing.â€Opera
was an important part of
Vogt’s life. His
first performing position
was with the
Théâtre-Montansier
while he was still
studying at the
Conservatoire. Shortly
after, he moved to the
Ambigu-Comique and, in
1801 was appointed as
first oboist with the
Théâtre-Italien in
Paris. He had been in
this position for only a
year, when he began
playing first oboe at the
Opéra-Comique. He
remained there until
1814, when he succeeded
his teacher,
Alexandre-Antoine
Sallantin, as soloist
with the Paris Opéra,
the top orchestra in
Paris at the time. He
played with the Paris
Opéra until 1834, all
the while bringing in his
current and past students
to fill out the section.
In this position, he
began to make a name for
himself; so much so that
specific performances
were immortalized in
memoirs and letters. One
comes from a young Hector
Berlioz
(1803–1865) after
having just arrived in
Paris in 1822 and
attended the Paris
Opéra’s
performance of
Mehul’s Stratonice
and Persuis’
ballet Nina. It was in
response to the song
Quand le bien-amié
reviendra that Berlioz
wrote: “I find it
difficult to believe that
that song as sung by her
could ever have made as
true and touching an
effect as the combination
of Vogt’s

Shortly after this,
Berlioz gave up studying
medicine and focused on
music.Vogt frequently
made solo and chamber
appearances throughout
Europe. His busiest
period of solo work was
during the 1820s. In 1825
and 1828 he went to
London to perform as a
soloist with the London
Philharmonic Society.
Vogt also traveled to
Northern France in 1826
for concerts, and then in
1830 traveled to Munich
and Stuttgart, visiting
his hometown of
Strasbourg on the way.
While on tour, Vogt
performed Luigi
Cherubini’s

inches. These
studies are a staple of
the advanced trumpet
method repertoire. Each
etude is an exploration
of a wide variety of
registers, articulations
and tonalities. While
going through these 36
etudes the trumpeter will
develop an even sound in
all registers while
tackling the musical and
melodic challenges that
lie
within. IntroductionTi
ps on Musical
PracticeStarting a new
study can be
overwhelming. Using Etude
No. 1, here’s an
example of how to
approach working on these
etudes with both
musicality and technique
in mind.Bousquet’s
first study can be broken
down into three large
musical sections:Section
1: from the beginning to
the downbeat of m.
26.Section 2: from the
upbeat of 2 in m. 26 to
the downbeat of m.
51.Section 3: from the
downbeat of m. 51 to the
end.Each one of those
sections can be broken
down into two smaller
sections:Section 1a: from
the beginning to the
downbeat of m. 16.Section
1b: from the downbeat of
m. 16 to the downbeat of
m. 26.Section 2a: from
the upbeat of 2 in m. 26
to the end of m.
35.Section 2b: from m. 36
to the downbeat of m.
51.Section 3a: from the
downbeat of m. 51 to the
downbeat of m. 59.Section
3b: from the downbeat of
m. 59 to the end.To get
started playing, choose a
slow tempo that allows
you to play Section 1 all
the way through without
stopping. If that is
problematic, just play
through 1a.Remember to
focus on the music.
Section 1a is light,
moving in four-measure
phrases to the ninth
measure, where it
cadences in G. From
there, retain the
lightness through the
arpeggiation that
concludes with the trill
that brings an arrival
point at Section 1b. Here
the style changes
completely, alternating
two measures of fluid,
connected sixteenth notes
with two measures of
scalar staccato
sixteenths before finally
cadencing on the downbeat
of m. 26.Section 2 begins
with a melodic line of
eighth notes, punctuated
by sixteenths in the
third full measure before
returning to the original
line for only a measure
before driving forward
with a flourish to finish
Section 2a. Section 2b
starts back in C with
four-measure phrases in
which the line moves up
for two measures, then
down for two measures,
ending in G. The last
seven measures of Section
2 stay light as they work
their way back to
C.Section 3 is very
exciting, starting with a
fiery cornet solo-like
passage in 3a. 3b brings
the piece to a dramatic
conclusion outlining C
major for the first four
measures before
arpeggiating C major and
G dominant for two
measures, finally
finishing with the
C-major scale.The next
step is to isolate any of
the parts that proved
troublesome. Examples
could include missed
notes or figuring out
where to breathe. Once
you have practiced the
troublesome sections in
isolation, play the
section all the way
through without stopping
again. Even if there are
still problems, you are
now practicing in a way
that is preparing you to
perform musically.The
next day, play through
Section 1 again, at a
tempo that allows you to
do this without stopping.
Now go on to Section 2,
and follow the same three
steps:Play all the way
through, at a tempo that
allows you to do so
without stopping,Isolate
and practice the
troublesome passages,
thenPlay all the way
through, at a tempo that
allows you to do so
without stopping.Now play
from the beginning to the
end of Section 2.The next
day, play Section 1. Now
play Section 2. Then play
Section 3 and apply the
same three steps outlined
above.Now play the whole
study. At this point you
have spent time on each
section, making musical
decisions and correcting
mistakes. Increase the
tempo as you gain
confidence and control of
the material. As you work
towards performing the
entire study as a piece
of music, record yourself
playing the entire study
as a performance each
day. Review the
recordings to reveal what
still needs work. Be
honest with yourself!
When you are happy with
the recording of your
performance, it’s
time to move on to the
next study.About the
Goldman PrefaceThese
studies will be an
excellent practice,
especially for the lower
register of the Cornet,
which is somewhat
neglected in other
instruction books. It is
recommended that the
pupil should practice one
of this series of Studies
now and then to repose
his lips, and acquire
facility in difficult
fingering.— Edwin
Franko GoldmanIn his
original preface, Edwin
Franko Goldman is
absolutely correct that
these studies are
excellent practice and
will help with the
dexterity demanded of
today’s player.
Although the low register
is certainly explored
throughout the book, it
does not appear to be the
focus of these studies.
There are many books
available now that
concentrate on the low
register. The suggested
fingerings have been
removed. Using alternate
fingerings was more
common to cornet players
to aid in the fluidity of
a passage. This practice
is not nearly as common
today, especially with
trumpet players, as the
difference in timbre
caused by the alternate
fingerings is disruptive
to the musical line.
Published for cornet, as
it was the solo
instrument of choice in
the 1920s, these etudes
are just as useful to
today’s trumpet
player. When playing
these studies on trumpet,
the performer should
strive for a fluid line
while maintaining a full
and clear sound. Because
of the musicianship and
technique demanded, this
book remains as useful
today as it has ever
been.— Joey
TartellAbout Narcisse
Bousquet and the 36
EtudesNarcisse Bousquet
(c. 1800–1869) was
French by birth, active
as a composer, editor and
arranger in both France
and England in the early
nineteenth century.
Bousquet was respected as
an accomplished performer
of the French flageolet,
a high-pitched woodwind
instrument much like a
recorder, although later
outfitted with the Boehm
key system like the
modern flute. Although
obsolete in modern times,
the instrument once
enjoyed great popularity
with a variety of
composers and performers,
both amateur and
professional. Purcell and
Handel composed for the
instrument, and Berlioz
was purportedly an
accomplished amateur
performer of the
flageolet. The Scottish
author Robert Louis
Stevenson, likewise, was
a proficient performer of
the instrument and
composed a number of
pieces for it.Little is
known today of
Bousquet’s life.
He composed a large
variety of music,
including works
specifically for the
flageolet, which were
widely appreciated in
their day. The 36 Etudes
for flageolet are
undoubtedly the most well
known of his works.
Published in 1851, the
Etudes explore a variety
of techniques, such as
scales, arpeggios,
ornamentation, breath
control and expressive
playing, and their
technically demanding
writing confirms
Bousquet’s prowess
as a flageolet performer.
However, the date of the
arrangement of the etudes
for cornet and their
arranger remain
speculative. Edwin Franko
Goldman is credited as
the arranger of the 1890
publication by Carl
Fischer, although Goldman
would have been only
twelve years old at the
time; his work on these
pieces surely came at a
later time. Bousquet
himself may have arranged
these pieces for cornet
at the request of an
accomplished cornet
player at some point
after their
publication. $16.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

680160924530. Marce
l Tournier
(1879–1951) was
one of the most important
harpist/composers in the
history of the harp. Over
his long career, he added
a significant catalogue
of very beautiful works
to the harp repertoire.
Many of his solo works,
almost one hundred, have
been consistently in
print since they were
first published. But in
recent years harpist Carl
Swanson has discovered a
treasure trove of pieces
by Tournier heretofore
unknown and unpublished.
These include the
Déchiffrages in this
edition, as well as songs
set for voice, harp, and
string quartet, and
ensemble arrangements of
some of his most beloved
works.All of the works
that Carl Swanson found
were in manuscript only.
With the help of the
great harpist Catherine
Michel, he has put these
pieces into playable
form, and they are being
published for the very
first time. He and
Catherine often had to
re-notate passages to
show clearly how they
could be played, adding
fingerings and musical
nuances, tempos, pedals,
and pedal
diagrams.Tournier wrote
these pieces when he was
in his 20s, and before he
became the
impressionistic composer
those familiar with his
work know so well. They
are written in the late
nineteenth-century
romantic style that was
being taught at that time
at the Paris
Conservatory. They are
beautiful short,
intermediate level pieces
by a first rate composer,
and add much needed
repertoire to that level
of playing. Marcel
Tournier
(1879–1951) was
one of the most important
harpist/composers in the
history of the harp. He
graduated from the Paris
Conservatory with a first
prize in harp in 1899. He
also studied composition
there and won a second
prize in the prestigious
Prix de Rome competition,
as well as a first prize
in the Rossini
competition, another
major composition
competition of the day.
From 1912 to 1948 he
taught the harp class at
the Paris Conservatory.
But composition, and
almost entirely,
composition for the harp,
was the main focus of his
life. His published
works, including many
works for solo harp, a
few for harp and other
instruments, and several
songs, number around one
hundred pieces.In 2019,
while researching
Tournier for my edition
MARCEL TOURNIER: 10
Pieces for Solo Harp, I
discovered that there was
a significant list of
pieces by this composer
that had never been
published and were not
included on any inventory
of his music. Principal
on this list were his
déchiffrages
(pronounced
day-she-frahge, like the
second syllable in the
word garage).The word
déchiffrage means
sight-reading exercise,
and that was their
original purpose.
Tournier numbered and
dated these pieces, with
dates ranging from 1900
to 1910, indicating that
they were in all
likelihood written for
Alphonse
Hasselmans’ class
at the Paris
Conservatory. Tournier
was probably told how
long to make each one,
and how difficult. They
range in length from two
to four pages, with only
one in the whole series
extending to five, and
from thirty to fifty-five
measures, with only one
extending to eight-five.
The level of difficulty
for the whole series is
intermediate, with some
at the easier end, and
others at the middle or
upper end.We don’t
know if they were
intended to test students
trying to enter the harp
class, or if they were
used to test students in
the class as they played
their exams. The fact
that they were never
published means that
students had to not only
sight read them, but
sight read them in
manuscript form!I worked
from digital images of
the original manuscripts,
which are in the private
music library of a
harpist in France. She
had twenty-seven of these
pieces, and this edition
is the second in a series
of three that will
publish, for the first
time, all of the ones
that I have found thus
far. The manuscripts
themselves consist of
little more than notes on
the page: no pedals
written in, no
fingerings, few if any
musical nuances and tempo
markings, and no clear
indication as to which
hand plays which notes.
These would have been
difficult to sight read
indeed! My collaborator
Catherine Michel and I
added musical nuances,
fingerings, pedals and
pedal diagrams, and tempo
indications to put them
into their current
condition.At the time
these were written,
Tournier would have been
in his twenties, having
just graduated from the
harp class himself
(1899), and might still
have been in the
composition class. These
are the earliest known
pieces that he wrote, and
they were written at the
very beginning of a
cultural revolution and
upheaval in Paris that
was to completely and
profoundly alter musical
composition. Tournier
himself would eventually
be caught up in this new
way of composing. But not
yet.All of the
déchiffrages are
written in the late
romantic style that was
being taught at that time
at the Paris
Conservatory. Each one is
built on a clear musical
idea, and the variety
over the whole series
makes them wonderful to
listen to as well as to
learn. They are also
great technical lessons
for intermediate level
players.The obvious
question is: Why
didn’t Tournier
publish these pieces, and
why didn’t he list
them on his own inventory
of his music? Actually,
four of them were
published, with small
changes, as his
collection Four Preludes,
Op. 16. These came from
the ones that will be in
volume three of this
series from Carl Fischer.
His first large piece,
Theme and Variations, was
published in 1908, and
his two best known and
frequently played pieces,
Féerie and Au Matin,
followed in 1912 and 1913
respectively. We can only
speculate because there
is so much still unknown
about Tournier and about
these unpublished pieces.
He may have looked at
them, fresh out of school
as he was, as simply a
way to make some quick
money. The first several
pieces that he did
publish are much longer
than any of the
déchiffrages. So it
could be that, because of
their shorter length, as
well as the earlier
musical style that he was
moving away from, he
chose not to publish any
more of them. We may
never know the full
story. But all these
years later, more than a
century after they were
composed, we can listen
to them for their own
merits, and not measured
against whatever else was
going on at the time. The
numbers on these pieces
are the ones that
Tournier assigned to
them, and the gaps
between some of the
numbers suggest that
there are perhaps thirty
or more of these pieces
still to be found, if
they still exist. They
will, in all likelihood,
be found, as these were,
in private collections of
harp music, not in
institutional libraries.
We can only hope that
more of them will be
located in years to
come.—Carl
SwansonGlossary of French
Musical TermsTournier was
very precise about how he
wanted his pieces played,
and carefully
communicated this with
many musical indications.
He used standard Italian
words, but also used
French words and phrases,
and occasionally mixed
both together. It is
extremely important to
observe and understand
everything that he put on
the page.Here is a list
of the French words and
phrases found in the
pieces in this edition,

680160918379. Adver
sity, in any form at any
point of our lives, can
be absolutely
debilitating mentally,
physically, emotionally
and spiritually. In the
midst of hard times, it
is difficult to imagine
what our lives will look
like on the other side of
the adversity we are
facing. Yet so many of us
carry on, move forward,
and rise above determined
to never be defined by
our circumstances. For
some their personal
faith, support from
family, or relationship
to friends provides the
necessary fuel for the
resilience they need to
rise above adversity. It
is amazing when a group
of people are able to
come together to overcome
a common obstacle. With
this in mind, I put to
music that spirit of
rising above for the
Liberty High School Band
and their director
Michael Summers.
Northeast Ohio has seen
its share of prosperity
and significant times of
hardship along many
different fronts. I still
see resilient leaders,
community members, and
educators like Mike who
continue to fight for
what is best and what is
right. The debut of this
work, like so many other

when a group of people

680160919567. Psalm
91:4-5. The Lord
will overshadow you with
his pinions, and you will
find refuge under his
wings. His faithfulness
will encompass you with a
shield. Psalm 91:4-5 To
feel safe and to feel
cared for, these are two
of the great yearnings of
the human heart. What a
blessing it is,
especially during times
of distress or
uncertainty, to know that
we aren't alone, that
someone is reaching out
to help us and even hold
us. It could be a family
member or a friend. It
could be a still small
voice whispering, It's
okay. I've got you. It
could even be a loving
community, like a choir,
assuring us that we are
known, that we are loved,
that we belong. The first
word - scapulis - is
translated as pinions. On
a bird, a pinion is the
outer part of the wing,
including the flight
feathers. The opening
measures, with a
one-measure phrase
followed be a
three-measure phrase, are
meant to evoke the image
of wings unfurling to
welcome in. All through
this section - mm. 1-20 -
encourage phrasing that
is never hurried but
moves with intention to
the last stressed
syllable of each phrase,
before ebbing slightly.
This section is all about
reassurance and comfort.
In mm. 21-30 we have a
new section where
uncertainty grows. At
this point the text - and
you will find refuge
under his wings - is more
aspirational than
definitive. Leaning into
non-chord tones will help
make this feeling of
uncertainty more
palpable. Places where
this occurs: Alto I -
Measure 22 the Ab in
pennis, m. 26 the Bb in
sperabis Soprano II -
Measure 23 the A natural
in pennis, m. 29 the C in
sperabis Soprano I -
Measure 24 the C in
pennis, m. 28 the D in
sperabis The apex of the
piece is at m. 30 where
the yearning for comfort
and assurance reaches its
height, finding that
comfort in the arrival
back at Eb major in m.
39. The phrase veritas
ejus (his faithfulness),
with its triplet figure
should flow gently, like
a musical carress. The
final reassurance occurs
at m. 51 as we return to
the melody, and the
homophonic texture, of
the opening. Even as the
piece gets softer and
softer, encourage the
singers to keep energy
moving through each
phrase. The structure and
feel of this piece was
inspired by one of the
all-time great settings
of yet another Psalm of
assurance - Felix
Mendelssohn's Lift Thine
Eyes. The Lord will
overshadow you with his
pinions,and you will find
refuge under his
wings.His faithfulness
will encompass you with a
shield. Psalm

680160691098. The Garden
of the Finzi-Continis
novel by Giorgio
Bassani. Based on
Bassani’s 1962 novel,
THE GARDEN OF THE
FINZI-CONTINIS dramatizes
the true story of a
prosperous Jewish
family’s disruptions
and consequences from
state-mandated
antisemitism in Italy
during World War II.
Gordon describes the
opera as “romantic,
sun-drenched, and
cataclysmic, all at the
same time.” This
dramatically topical and
personal grand opera
premiered at New York
City Opera and National
Yiddish Theatre
Folksbiene to rave
reviews in 2022. Chris
Ruel wrote in OperaWire,
“I have chosen Ricky
Ian Gordon and Michael
Korie’s THE GARDEN OF
THE FINZI-CONTINIS as my
favorite opera of
2022.”. At one
point, in 2008, I was
walking down 72nd Street,
and I passed the video
store, (this is when
there were video stores)
and I thought to myself,
I wonder if Kevin (my
partner) has ever seen
The Garden of the
Finzi-Continis? which was
always one of my favorite
movies. My reaction when
we watched it that night
was unlike any other time
I had seen it. I was
wrenched, sobbing,
inconsolable. My heart
felt like the autumn
leaves we see blowing
through the garden at the
end of the movie. It
seemed immediately that
this had to be my next
opera. I called Michael
Korie, and we both bought
the Bassani novel and
read it. We settled on
it. It felt clear that we
both had a collective
story to tell through
it.Because this opera is
so close to both of our
hearts, it is dedicated
to our fathers.It is not
only that The Garden of
the Finzi-Continis is a
Holocaust story that
makes it so resonant for
me, though obviously this
is no small matter, but
the tragedy of people
trying to live their
lives, or actually living
them, their petty
disappointments, their
heartbreaks, against the
backdrop of total
catastrophe… that makes
it so moving. They cannot
possibly imagine what
will befall them, but we
know… and this makes
their every move
fascinating and
devastating… like
watching moths under a
glass. It is romantic,
sun-drenched and
cataclysmic, all at the
same time.This is why I
had to write it. $125.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

(BR.PB-5714). ISBN
9790004216514. 10.5 x 14
inches. More than
my earlier works, this
one is interspersed with
metrically bound rhythms
and musicianly characters
that constantly
recrystallize and drift
towards or away from
familiar situations.The
familiar: These are
dance-like figures and
music-making formulas,
but also songs and, in
two cases fragments of
Bach's music - playfully
collected memories of
impressions in which -
consciously and
unconsciously - I am
embodied with that
collective comfort in
whose protection
bourgeois thinking and
feeling, magically
protected, grow up and
emerge apart.(It is well
known that such security
has its fetishes from the
childlike to the adult
stage: Home, religious
bond, holidays,
tradition, longing for
childhood - the
superficiality may have
little idea of the depth
that opens up underneath.
There is also no question
that we are still marked
by such security even
when the contradictions
and alienation of
existence force us to
step out of their
protection, to recognize
and act upon reality, and
to oppose the domination
of such inner bonds where
their original truth has
become the fatal untruth
of comfortable illusion,
stubbornly and fearfully
conjured idyll and
reactionary
narrow-mindedness.My
music feeds on figures in
which such memories are
encapsulated. It deals
with them not much
differently than in other
pieces with the elements
of the traditional
musical concept of
material, having already
always reflected
compositionally as a
product of sociality and
anticipation of musical
expression, i.e. it moved
into a structurally
expanded context and
expressively redefined
from there.Such an
approach aims at
overcoming lack of
freedom: grasping as part
of conceiving, i.e. not
philosophical reflection,
but rather an
artistically gripping
reflex by intervening in
the physical immediacy of
such predetermined
elements. These penetrate
and infect the structural
events, inducing a
musicianship that cannot
be relied upon; the music
jumps onto rhythms like
onto moving vehicles,
allows for being carried
by them until they deform
or disintegrate. This
creates an incline of
rhythmically shaped
situations: sequence and
interweaving of dances
and structures.The role
of the solo string
quartet is versatile,
obbligato and
concertante, leading and
accompanying in a
changing sense. Set as a
chamber music apparatus
in an orchestral
landscape, it repeatedly
forces its own sound
dimensions onto the
orchestra, it must accept
being drowned out at
times, it nests in the
holes of tutti fields, it
acts as a louse in the
fur, forcing one to
listen in and out.The

680160684472. The
violin concerto is
commissioned by Friends
of Dresden Music
Foundation for American
soloist Mira Wang and the
New York Philharmonic and
Staatskapelle Dresden as
an American commemoration
of the reconstruction of
the Dresden Frauenkirche,
60 years after its
destruction in World War
II by American and
British Forces. The world
premiere is given at the
Semperoper in Dresden,
Germany, on October 9, 10
& 11, 2005, conducted
by Ivan Fischer. Full of
excitement and inner
power, the musical image
is vivid, energetic,
sometimes lyrical and
sometimes dramatic. The
major angular thematic
material (a three note
motive) consists of big
leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minor seventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for the cadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments. The musical
imagination of the violin
concerto came from an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title, written
by Du Fu (712-770) in
Tang Dynasty. Happy Rain
on a Spring Night by Du
Fu (712-770 in Tang
Dynasty) Happy rain comes
in time, When spring is
in its prime. With night
breeze it will fall, And
quietly moisten all.
Clouds darken wild roads,
Light brightens a little
boat. Saturated at dawn,
With flowers blooming the
town. (English
translation by Chen Yi
from the original poem in
Chinese) The following is
the poem in its original
Chinese form, and the
detailed introduction on
the structural plan of
the violin concerto
Spring in Dresden. It's
like the welcome rain on
a quiet spring night that
nurtures the budding
seeds, our new society is
pushing us forward to the
new future. The music
reflects the scenes and
the expression according
to the meaning of the
poem when it's being
unfolded line by line.
Although the tempo is set
63 quarter notes per
minute throughout (played
vividly, never slow
down), the tension is
being built up from the
quiet background in the
beginning, to the
sustained climax towards
the end. The musical
image in Rehearsal A and
B (measures 39-80)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
wind instruments response
to the rustling of fast
moving notes on muted
string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokes produced by
metallic string sound and
high woodwind gestures.
The music in Rehearsal C
and D (measures 81-126)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a little light
in the boat is shimmering
on the lake... The
breathy sound and key
slaps on the flutes
create a mysterious
atmosphere, in a dialogue
with other instruments.
The cello glissandi
recite the poem in the
tone of Mandarin, echoed
by the string harmonics.
The music in Rehearsal F,
G and H (m 129-202) is a
toccata, starting in the
orchestra (led by the

Section, according to the
length of the music

keeps the vivid scene
towards the coda (from
Rehearsal I, m. 203),

The music is written for
2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2
clarinets (in Bb), 2
bassoons, 4 French horns
(in F), 2 trumpets (in
Bb), 3 trombones, tuba,

an American commemoration

major angular thematic
material (a three
notemotive) consists of
big leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward

upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for thecadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the

inches. This
setting of The First Noel
begins with a percussion
intro and dissonant
chords that lead to a
beautiful flute duet. The
melody is freely adapted
and at times, outright
changed, to give this
arrangement a very
different sound. Using
rhythmic motives, tone
clusters, altered
melodies and all the
sounds available for a
concert band, the piece
takes the audience on a
journey that leads to a
statement of the original
tune at m. 118. Everyone
gets the melody at some
point. After a
chorale-like section, the
composition returns to
the fast and upbeat
sounds of the beginning.
Your musicians and
audience will love this
unique version of this
old-time favorite. When
performing this piece,
start dark and mysterious
and let the sounds
crescendo through the
introduction all the way
to m. 21, the first
statement of the hymn.
Make sure you keep the
tempo moving so the
arrangement does not lose
excitement. Keep the
flute duet, and later the
trumpet duet, nice and
light. At m. 118, play a
little slower and in a
standard chorale style,
being careful to let the
flute and oboe voices be
heard. Let the low voices
have the reins at m. 126
as they play the melody.
Pick the tempo back up to
the original tempo at m.
145 and push to the end.
The main thing is to
match articulation
throughout the band--at
the beginning and at the
end, think light accents
and separation, and at
the chorale section at m.
118, more legato. Keeping
everyone on the same page
with articulation will be
the key to making a great
performance. This
setting of The First Noel
begins with a percussion
intro and dissonant
chords that lead to a
beautiful flute duet. The
melody is freely adapted
and at times, outright
changed, to give this
arrangement a very
different sound. Using
rhythmic motives, tone
clusters, altered
melodies and all the
sounds available for a
concert band, the piece
takes the audience on a
journey that leads to a
statement of the original
tune at m. 118. Everyone
gets the melody at some
point. After a
chorale-like section, the
composition returns to
the fast and upbeat
sounds of the beginning.

en to commemorate the
80th Anniversary of the
surprise attack on the
American Pacific Fleet,
Remembering Pearl Harbor
is a stirring tribute
honoring the heroes of
the date which will live
in infamy- December 7,
1941. Like flying over
the Pacific, the opening
bars seemingly soar back
in time. The composition
takes the listener on a
moving journey from the
precarious moments before
the fateful attack,
through the air strike
and resulting aftermath.
The musical voyage begins
with chimes, signifying
the hour of the attack
that Sunday morning,
developing into the
heroic main theme
representing the Spirit
of America. A rousing
version of Anchors Aweigh
takes us to the naval
base at Pearl Harbor and
the activities of the
day. By the end of
Anchors Aweigh, the mood
seems to change,
foreshadowing the fate of
the U.S. fleet. Next, the
haunting theme of the
Japanese National Anthem
is heard and the distant
sound of propellers as
they approach. When the
planes arrive, the battle
rages until there is
total destruction.
Countless people lost
their lives on this
tragic day. The playing
of Taps and the Navy
Hymn, Eternal Father,
Strong to Save is
presented as an homage to
those who perished.
Following this solemn
moment, the American
spirit begins to rise as
they come together to
defeat the enemy. As the
U.S. triumphs in the end,
we hear fragments of many
American tunes depicting
the strength and
resilience of the
American People. You may
want to consider using
portions of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt's famous
speech to enhance your
performance. The
following sections are
suggested: Measure 46:
Yesterday, December 7th,
1941 - a date which will
live in infamy - the
United States of America
was suddenly and
deliberately attacked by
the naval and air forces
of the Empire of Japan.
Measure 83: The attack
yesterday on the Hawaiian
Islands has caused severe
damage to American naval
and military forces. I
regret to tell you that
very many American lives
have been lost. Measure
105: No matter how long
it may take us to
overcome this
premeditated invasion,
the American people in
their righteous might
will win through to
absolute
victory.. Written to
