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

eighty-nine years, Vogt
would live through what
was perhaps the most

followed by the many
newly established

just months before the
establishment of the

being developed.Vogt was
born March 18, 1781 in

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

unclear when Vogt began

have fled Strasbourg in
1792 after much of the
city was destroyed during
the French Revolution. He
was without question

moving seamlessly from
the role of student to

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

this rank until 1809,
when he was promoted to
professor adjoint and
finally to professor

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.

became the most

oboe.â€Vogt was also
active performing in
Paris as a chamber and
orchestral musician. He
was one of the founding
members of the
Société des
Concerts du
Conservatoire, a group
established in 1828 by
violinist and conductor
François-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
Opéra in 1834 and from
the Société 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
AlbumsVogt’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 Notestammbücher).
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
Notenstammbücher to
France, and in turn
indirectly inspired Vogt
to create a book of his
own some fifteen years
later.Vogt’s
Musical Album of
AutographsVogt’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

inches. For most of
my life, I never knew
where my father’s
family came from, beyond
a few broad strokes: they
had emigrated in the
early 1900s from Eastern
Europe and altered the
family name along the
way. This radically
changed in the summer of
2021 when my mother and
sister came across a
folder in our family
filing cabinet and made
an astounding discovery
of documents that
revealed when, where, and
how my great-grandfather
came to America. The
information I had been
seeking was at home all
along, waiting over forty
years to be
discovered.Berko
Gorobzoff, my
great-grandfather, left
Ekaterinoslav in 1904. At
that time, this city was
in the southern Russian
area of modern-day
Ukraine; as his family
was Jewish, he and his
siblings were attempting
to escape the ongoing
religious persecution and
pogroms instigated by
Tzar Nicholas II to root
out Jewish people from
Russia. Berko’s older
brother Jakob had already
emigrated to Illinois,
and Berko was traveling
with Chaje, Jakob’s
wife, to join him. Their
timing was fortuitous, as
the following year saw a
series of massive, brutal
pogroms in the region.
After arriving in
Illinois, Berko went on
to Omaha, Nebraska, where
he married my
great-grandmother Anna
about eighteen months
later. They remained in
Omaha for the rest of
their lives.There is one
more intriguing part to
this historical account:
I have a great-aunt in
Texas who, as it turns
out, is the youngest
daughter of Berko and
Anna. Through a series of
phone calls, my
great-aunt and I
discussed what she could
remember: her parents
spoke Yiddish at home,
her mother didn’t learn
to read or write in
English so my great-aunt
was tasked with writing
letters to family
members, Berko ran a
grocery store followed by
a small hotel, and her
parents enjoyed playing
poker with friends. Above
all else, neither of her
parents ever spoke a word
about their past or how
they got to America. This
was a common trait among
Eastern European Jewish
immigrants whose goal was
to “blend in” within
their new communities and
country.To
craft Berko’s
Journey, I melded the
facts I uncovered about
Berko with my own
research into methods of
transportation in the
early 1900s. Also, to
represent his heritage, I
wove two Yiddish songs
and one Klezmer tune into
the work. In movement
1, Leaving
Ekaterinoslav, we hear
Berko packing his
belongings, saying his
goodbyes to family and
friends, and walking to
the train station.
Included in this movement
is a snippet of the
Yiddish song “The
Miller’s Tears” which
references how the Jews
were driven out of their
villages by the Russian
army. In movement 2, In
Transit, we follow Berko
as he boards a train and
then a steamship, sails
across the Atlantic
Ocean, arrives at Ellis
Island and anxiously
waits in line for
immigration, jubilantly
steps foot into New York
City, and finally boards
a train that will take
him to Chicago. While
he’s on the steamship,
we hear a group of fellow
steerage musicians play a
klezmer tune
(“Freylachs in d
minor”). In movement
3, At Home in Omaha, we
hear Berko court and
marry Anna. Their
courtship is represented
by “Tumbalalaika,” a
Yiddish puzzle folksong
in which a man asks a
woman a series of riddles
in order to get better
acquainted with each
other and to test her
intellect.On a final
note, I crafted a musical
motive to represent Berko
throughout the piece.
This motive is heard at
the beginning of the
first movement; its first
pitches are B and E,
which represent the first
two letters of Berko’s
name. I scatter this
theme throughout the
piece as Berko travels
towards a new world and
life. As the piece
concludes, we hear
Berko’s theme
repeatedly and in close
succession, representing
the descendants of the
Garrop line that came
from Berko and
Anna. For most of my

680160919949. A new
day. A new event. A new
opportunity. We look
forward to these things
and the potential they
hold. We live our lives
looking forward, but we
understand them looking
backward (a thought of
Danish philosopher Soren
Kierkegaard). We do not
always know what the
future may hold, but we
must remember: first,
there are no guarantees
beyond the time and
opportunity we are given
to do good. Second,
change around us is
inevitable. Finally, and
the most important
aspect, we have choices.
This lesson is fixed to
the composer's office
door: Today is the
greatest day of your
life, if you want it to
be. Why not look forward
to the Promise on the
Horizon and the
possibilities for
greatness that lie within
it? The opening motif of
this concert fanfare is
purposely inquisitive as
the piece seeks to
establish its first
steps. The subtle shift
at measure 37 and again
at measure 69 are
reminders of the
challenges that await us
during the journey. Here
again it is a matter of
choice - do we choose to
let circumstances define
us, or do we define the
circumstances? The
section at 93 is a
resounding answer that we
will move barriers,
overcome obstacles and
keep our vision looking
forward. The piece builds
toward an exciting
conclusion from measure
127 onward. The piece
reinforces several basic
rhythmic patterns in 6/8
time. As a number of
these rhythms are
repeated, it provides an
easy opportunity for the
entire ensemble to grow
more comfortable

9.0x12.0x0.224
inches. I composed
the Piano Concerto in two
stages: the first three
movements during the
years 1985-86, the next
two in 1987, the final
autograph of the last
movement was ready by
January, 1988. The
concerto is dedicated to
the American conductor
Mario di Bonaventura. The
markings of the movements
are the following: 1.
Vivace molto ritmico e
preciso 2. Lento e
deserto 3. Vivace
cantabile 4. Allegro
risoluto 5. Presto
luminoso.The first
performance of the
three-movement Concerto
was on October 23rd, 1986
in Graz. Mario di
Bonaventura conducted
while his brother,
Anthony di Bonaventura,
was the soloist. Two days
later the performance was
repeated in the Vienna
Konzerthaus. After
hearing the work twice, I
came to the conclusion
that the third movement
is not an adequate
finale; my feeling of
form demanded
continuation, a
supplement. That led to
the composing of the next
two movements. The
premiere of the whole
cycle took place on
February 29th, 1988, in
the Vienna Konzerthaus
with the same conductor
and the same pianist. The
orchestra consisted of
the following: flute,
oboe, clarinet, bassoon,
horn, trumpet, tenor
trombone, percussion and
strings. The flautist
also plays the piccoIo,
the clarinetist, the alto
ocarina. The percussion
is made up of diverse
instruments, which one
musician-virtuoso can
play. It is more
practical, however, if
two or three musicians
share the instruments.
Besides traditional
instruments the
percussion part calls
also for two simple wind
instruments: the swanee
whistle and the
harmonica. The string
instrument parts (two
violins, viola, cello and
doubles bass) can be
performed soloistic since
they do not contain
divisi. For balance,
however, the ensemble
playing is recommended,
for example 6-8 first
violins, 6-8 second, 4-6
violas, 4-6 cellos, 3-4
double basses. In the
Piano Concerto I realized
new concepts of harmony
and rhythm. The first
movement is entirely
written in bimetry:
simultaneously 12/8 and
4/4 (8/8). This relates
to the known triplet on a
doule relation and in
itself is nothing new.
Because, however, I
articulate 12 triola and
8 duola pulses, an
entangled, up till now
unheard kind of polymetry
is created. The rhythm is
additionally complicated
because of asymmetric
groupings inside two
speed layers, which means
accents are
asymmetrically
distributed. These
groups, as in the talea
technique, have a fixed,
continuously repeating
rhythmic structures of
varying lengths in speed
layers of 12/8 and 4/4.
This means that the
repeating pattern in the
12/8 level and the
pattern in the 4/4 level
do not coincide and
continuously give a
kaleidoscope of renewing
combinations. In our
perception we quickly
resign from following
particular rhythmical
successions and that what
is going on in time
appears for us as
something static,
resting. This music, if
it is played properly, in
the right tempo and with
the right accents inside
particular layers, after
a certain time 'rises, as
it were, as a plane after
taking off: the rhythmic
action, too complex to be
able to follow in detail,
begins flying. This
diffusion of individual
structures into a
different global
structure is one of my
basic compositional
concepts: from the end of
the fifties, from the
orchestral works
Apparitions and
Atmospheres I
continuously have been
looking for new ways of
resolving this basic
question. The harmony of
the first movement is
based on mixtures, hence
on the parallel leading
of voices. This technique
is used here in a rather
simple form; later in the
fourth movement it will
be considerably
developed. The second
movement (the only slow
one amongst five
movements) also has a
talea type of structure,
it is however much
simpler rhythmically,
because it contains only
one speed layer. The
melody is consisted in
the development of a
rigorous interval mode in
which two minor seconds
and one major second
alternate therefore nine
notes inside an octave.
This mode is transposed
into different degrees
and it also determines
the harmony of the
movement; however, in
closing episode in the
piano part there is a
combination of diatonics
(white keys) and
pentatonics (black keys)
led in brilliant,
sparkling quasimixtures,
while the orchestra
continues to play in the
nine tone mode. In this
movement I used isolated
sounds and extreme
registers (piccolo in a
very low register,
bassoon in a very high
register, canons played
by the swanee whistle,
the alto ocarina and
brass with a harmon-mute'
damper, cutting sound
combinations of the
piccolo, clarinet and
oboe in an extremely high
register, also
alternating of a
whistle-siren and
xylophone). The third
movement also has one
speed layer and because
of this it appears as
simpler than the first,
but actually the rhythm
is very complicated in a
different way here. Above
the uninterrupted, fast
and regular basic pulse,
thanks to the asymmetric
distribution of accents,
different types of
hemiolas and inherent
melodical patterns appear
(the term was coined by
Gerhard Kubik in relation
to central African
music). If this movement
is played with the
adequate speed and with
very clear accentuation,
illusory
rhythmic-melodical
figures appear. These
figures are not played
directly; they do not
appear in the score, but
exist only in our
perception as a result of
co-operation of different
voices. Already earlier I
had experimented with
illusory rhythmics,
namely in Poeme
symphonique for 100
metronomes (1962), in
Continuum for harpsichord
(1968), in Monument for
two pianos (1976), and
especially in the first
and sixth piano etude
Desordre and Automne a
Varsovie (1985). The
third movement of the
Piano Concerto is up to
now the clearest example
of illusory rhythmics and
illusory melody. In
intervallic and chordal
structure this movement
is based on alternation,
and also inter-relation
of various modal and
quasi-equidistant harmony
spaces. The tempered
twelve-part division of
the octave allows for
diatonical and other
modal interval
successions, which are
not equidistant, but are
based on the alternation
of major and minor
seconds in different
groups. The tempered
system also allows for
the use of the
anhemitonic pentatonic
scale (the black keys of
the piano). From
equidistant scales,
therefore interval
formations which are
based on the division of
an octave in equal
distances, the
twelve-tone tempered
system allows only
chromatics (only minor
seconds) and the six-tone
scale (the whole-tone:
only major seconds).
Moreover, the division of
the octave into four
parts only minor thirds)
and three parts (three
major thirds) is
possible. In several
music cultures different
equidistant divisions of
an octave are accepted,
for example, in the
Javanese slendro into
five parts, in Melanesia
into seven parts, popular
also in southeastern
Asia, and apart from
this, in southern Africa.
This does not mean an
exact equidistance: there
is a certain tolerance
for the inaccurateness of
the interval tuning.
These exotic for us,
Europeans, harmony and
melody have attracted me
for several years.
However I did not want to
re-tune the piano
(microtone deviations
appear in the concerto
only in a few places in
the horn and trombone
parts led in natural
tones). After the period
of experimenting, I got
to pseudo- or
quasiequidistant
intervals, which is
neither whole-tone nor
chromatic: in the
twelve-tone system, two
whole-tone scales are
possible, shifted a minor
second apart from each
other. Therefore, I
connect these two scales
(or sound resources), and
for example, places occur
where the melodies and
figurations in the piano
part are created from
both whole tone scales;
in one band one six-tone
sound resource is
utilized, and in the
other hand, the
complementary. In this
way whole-tonality and
chromaticism mutually
reduce themselves: a type
of deformed
equidistancism is formed,
strangely brilliant and
at the same time
slanting; illusory
harmony, indeed being
created inside the
tempered twelve-tone
system, but in sound
quality not belonging to
it anymore. The
appearance of such
slantedequidistant
harmony fields
alternating with modal
fields and based on
chords built on fifths
(mainly in the piano
part), complemented with
mixtures built on fifths
in the orchestra, gives
this movement an
individual, soft-metallic
colour (a metallic sound
resulting from
harmonics). The fourth
movement was meant to be
the central movement of
the Concerto. Its
melodc-rhythmic elements
(embryos or fragments of
motives) in themselves
are simple. The movement
also begins simply, with
a succession of
overlapping of these
elements in the mixture
type structures. Also
here a kaleidoscope is
created, due to a limited
number of these elements
- of these pebbles in the
kaleidoscope - which
continuously return in
augmentations and
diminutions. Step by
step, however, so that in
the beginning we cannot
hear it, a compiled
rhythmic organization of
the talea type gradually
comes into daylight,
based on the simultaneity
of two mutually shifted
to each other speed
layers (also triplet and
duoles, however, with
different asymmetric
structures than in the
first movement). While
longer rests are
gradually filled in with
motive fragments, we
slowly come to the
conclusion that we have
found ourselves inside a
rhythmic-melodical whirl:
without change in tempo,
only through increasing
the density of the
musical events, a
rotation is created in
the stream of successive
and compiled, augmented
and diminished motive
fragments, and increasing
the density suggests
acceleration. Thanks to
the periodical structure
of the composition,
always new but however of
the same (all the motivic
cells are similar to
earlier ones but none of
them are exactly
repeated; the general
structure is therefore
self-similar), an
impression is created of
a gigantic, indissoluble
network. Also, rhythmic
structures at first
hidden gradually begin to
emerge, two independent
speed layers with their
various internal
accentuations. This
great, self-similar whirl
in a very indirect way
relates to musical
associations, which came
to my mind while watching
the graphic projection of
the mathematical sets of
Julia and of Mandelbrot
made with the help of a
computer. I saw these
wonderful pictures of
fractal creations, made
by scientists from Brema,
Peitgen and Richter, for
the first time in 1984.
From that time they have
played a great role in my
musical concepts. This
does not mean, however,
that composing the fourth
movement I used
mathematical methods or
iterative calculus;
indeed, I did use
constructions which,
however, are not based on
mathematical thinking,
but are rather craftman's
constructions (in this
respect, my attitude
towards mathematics is
similar to that of the
graphic artist Maurits
Escher). I am concerned
rather with intuitional,
poetic, synesthetic
correspondence, not on
the scientific, but on
the poetic level of
thinking. The fifth, very
short Presto movement is
harmonically very simple,
but all the more
complicated in its
rhythmic structure: it is
based on the further
development of ''inherent
patterns of the third
movement. The
quasi-equidistance system
dominates harmonically
and melodically in this
movement, as in the
third, alternating with
harmonic fields, which
are based on the division
of the chromatic whole
into diatonics and
anhemitonic pentatonics.
Polyrhythms and harmonic
mixtures reach their
greatest density, and at
the same time this
movement is strikingly
light, enlightened with
very bright colours: at
first it seems chaotic,
but after listening to it
for a few times it is
easy to grasp its
content: many autonomous
but self-similar figures
which crossing
themselves. I present my
artistic credo in the
Piano Concerto: I
demonstrate my
independence from
criteria of the
traditional avantgarde,
as well as the
fashionable
postmodernism. Musical
illusions which I
consider to be also so
important are not a goal
in itself for me, but a
foundation for my
aesthetical attitude. I
prefer musical forms
which have a more
object-like than
processual character.
Music as frozen time, as
an object in imaginary
space evoked by music in
our imagination, as a
creation which really
develops in time, but in
imagination it exists
simultaneously in all its
moments. The spell of
time, the enduring its
passing by, closing it in
a moment of the present
is my main intention as a
composer. (Gyorgy

680160683833. After
decades as a renowned
oboe virtuoso, Katherine
Needleman was improvising
at the piano during the
quarantine summer of 2020
when her ideas congealed
in a powerful way. Within
a week she completed a
16-minute oboe sonata
inspired by the
world’s
overlapping crises. This
riveting three-movement
sonata bears the title
qua resurget ex favilla,
drawn from the Dies Irae
text referring to rising
back from ashes.
Needleman won the
International Double Reed
Society’s
Inaugural Commissioning
Competition by entering
her own recording of this
work, performing as
both oboist and pianist
from her living room. As
a result, IDRS
commissioned her to
compose a new work for
English horn and piano
which was premiered at
their 2021 Virtual
Symposium and programmed
for the live 2022
convention. I’m
not exactly sure how, in
a life consumed by music,
I never put anything on
paper between the time I
stopped at age 10 and the
age of 42. I mean, I have
some ideas why, but that
could easily dissolve
into a feminist manifesto
or a condemnation of my
musical education and the
overwhelming culture of
American oboe playing,
the vehicle through which
I’ve made a living
my entire adult life.
Rather than go there, I
will just say this is the
first piece I put on
paper in my adult
life.Six months into
COVID-19 lockdown in the
US, the world was feeling
pretty weird. I had
familiarized myself with
the music notation
program, Sibelius, for
recent arranging
projects. I had written
some mockeries of A.M.R.
Barret oboe etudes in
response to an assignment
I was given (and did
appropriately first).
When I descended into a
dark chorale in the
middle of the fourth
mockery, I realized I
needed a new vehicle. I
wrote a short, ridiculous
piece for my
husband’s
birthday, and then, the
next night, when
improvising at the piano,
like I’ve done
since I was seven years
old, this piece came to
me. However, this time, I
sketched it out into
Sibelius. Over the course
of the next week, I found
notating and picking
permanent, official notes
to enter into the
computer challenging. But
it was all done on paper
in seven days, and I took
another few for dynamics
and articulations
thinking they might be
useful for someone else,
if I would ever be lucky
enough for someone else
to play it.I don’t
have much to say about
the music of qua resurget
ex favilla itself.
It’s a personal
statement couched in the
feelings of that time.
The US presidential
election was looming
large and ugly in my
mind, well, that and the
end of life as we knew
it, but I also had some
bizarre feeling that
everything would be
okay. $24.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

c teachers know their
students don’t
just learn to play music,
they are also exposed to
universal life skills
along the way. But
that’s just part
of the story. Currently,
most students are largely
left to learn these
universal
skills—like
problem-solving,
patience, focus,
collaboration, critical
thinking, creativity, and
communication—on
their own and often not
very effectively. The
Transposed Musician is a
practical guide to
teaching these universal
skills within the context
of a traditional music
lesson. The results not
only empower students to
better confront the
challenges of the
twenty-first century,
they significantly
improve
musicianship—a
double benefit. Author
Dylan Savage spent two
decades refining his
approach to teaching
universal skills through
music, and he shares them
in this book. Each of the
eight chapters of The
Transposed Musician
focuses on a specific
universal skill
(problem-solving, focus,
patience, critical
thinking, communication,
collaboration,
improvisation, and
creativity) and shows how
students can apply that
skill to music. He then
shows how teachers can
guide those students to
“transposeâ€
that skill to life and
back again to music with
far deeper understanding
and musicianship. With
practical examples and
clear writing, this book
is for music educators
wishing to help their
students become both
better musicians and also
better-equipped citizens
of the world. Students
truly become
“transposed
musicians†for life
and for music. Dylan
Savage is Associate
Professor of Piano at the

Bösendorfer Concert
Artist, a Capstone

https://thetransposedmusi
cian.com/ This book is
priceless and contains a
wealth of music teaching
information that every
teacher should apply to
their studio. Dylan
Savage’s use of
universal skills
transforms music teaching
into a viable and
essential part of
education in the
twenty-first-century.
This teaching approach of
using universal skills
can revolutionize
teaching music in both
the private studio and
college level and will
give teachers a greater
sense of purpose and
satisfaction in their
work. This book
challenges many
preconceived ideas about
teaching music and
mastering performance.
Bravo for shaking up the
status quo.
—Randall Hartsell
  Composer,
Clinician, Teacher This
book asks and explores
fascinating questions
about what it means to
study music in a changing
world. Are there skills
we can learn in our music
lessons which can enrich
our lives in
other non-musical
areas, and then can we
bring those expanded
skills back into our
study of music itself?
Too often our
conservatories are
dead-ends, stuck with
outdated, one-dimensional
approaches which can lead
to stunted personal
development. This book
suggests ways in which we
can break down doors, for
students and teachers
alike, and celebrate
music as something
life-affirming, in and
out of the studio.
—Stephen Hough
  Pianist,
Composer, Writer Dylan
Savage has given us a
fresh and creative
pedagogy to guide our
music students toward
life as
twenty-first-century
musicians. His career as
pianist and teacher, and
his firsthand experience
in the marketplace of
business and industry,
allow him to forge a
systematic approach to
teaching universal skills
in the music lesson. In
each of the eight
chapters, skills such as
problem-solving, focus,
critical thinking,
collaboration, and
improvisation are defined
and applied to musical
skills. These in turn are
“transposedâ€
to non-musical
applications. We observe
the music lessons and the
active
“transpositionâ€
or transfer of
universal skills
exemplified through
descriptions of
particular lessons. The
anxieties, confusions,
and ultimate comfort and
understanding of students
are guided by the
questions of the teacher.
The book is beautifully
organized and is enriched
by quotations of artists,
musicians and
philosophers, and
suggested readings and
references. I really
think this is an
important and helpful
book with a point of view
that is much needed. The
empathy and knowledge of
the author steer the
reader toward the
realities of
today’s musical
world, a world that
requires skilled
musicians to have
universal skills that
benefit their lives,
regardless of their
ultimate career paths.

In The Transposed
Musician, Dylan Savage
combines a
visionary’s deep
understanding of the
challenges music students
and teachers face with an
eminently practical way
to meet those challenges.
Using a master
teacher’s insight,
Savage
“transposesâ€
eight potential stumbling
blocks into eight
universal skills that can
be acquired through a
beautifully organized,
step-by-step approach. In
turn, he shows how these
skills can be applied to
other areas in our
rapidly changing world,
helping us lead more
satisfying, meaningful,
and fulfilling lives, not
only as musicians, but as
human beings. For
students and teachers
alike, an inspired and
inspiring book.

the Caged Bird The
Transposed Musician is an
important contribution to
our literature on
teaching essential life
skills including
problem-solving,
patience, focus, critical
thinking, and creativity
within the traditional
music lesson. Teachers
and students both can
benefit from the study
and application of these
skills. Applications are
made both to the
traditional lesson as
well as to non-music
applications.
—Jane Magrath Â
 Pianist, Author,
Teacher  Â
University of Oklahoma
Twenty-five hundred years
ago Plato recommended
music first in his ideal
curriculum for potential
leaders of
Athens—before
sport, mathematics, and
moral philosophy. None of
his candidates, one may
assume, aspired to become
a professional musician.
Nevertheless, throughout
centuries, otherwise
people have acknowledged
that the study and
practice of music
generates collateral
benefits essential to
human fulfillment. In his
new book The
Transposed Musician,
Professor Dylan Savage of
the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte
identifies eight of these
benefits—Problem
Solving, Focus, Patience,
Critical Thinking,
Communication,
Collaboration,
Improvisation, and
Creativity—and
calls them
“universal
skills†which may
be developed consciously
and systematically within
the context of
traditional music
lessons. Doing so takes
what has been implicit
all along and makes it
explicit. Music is good
for us! Music teachers,
even at the highest
conservatory level, learn
from Professor Savage
that they are not so much
professional trainers as
guides to a happier, more
successful life.
—Dr. Joseph
Robinson  Â

(1978–2005) Â
 Successful author,
teacher, producer, and
arts advocate Savage's
excellent book couldn't
be more timely, unique,
clear, full of wisdom,
and exactly what we need.
As he points out, music
teachers have known for
generations—in a
rather generalized
way—that musical
skills can strengthen
life skills in many ways.
Dylan Savage is the first
to address this
'transposition'
intentionally, with
specific exercises in the
transferrable skills.
What better gift could
there be for music
students facing an
ever-changing world?

inches. Key: G
major. IApart from
some of his Sonatinas,
Opus 36, Clementi's life
and music are hardly
known to the piano
teachers and students of
today. For example, in
addition to the above
mentioned Sonatinas,
Clementi wrote sixty
sonatas for the piano,
many of them unjustly
neglected, although his
friend Beethoven regarded
some of them very highly.
Clementi also wrote
symphonies (some of which
he arranged as piano
sonatas), a substantial
number of waltzes and
other dances for the
piano as well as sonatas
and sonatinas for piano
four-hands.In addition to
composing, Clementi was a
much sought after piano
teacher, and included
among his students John
Field (Father of the
'Nocturne'), and
Meyerbeer.In his later
years, Clementi became a
very successful music
publisher, publishing
among other works the
first English edition of
Beethoven's Violin
Concerto, in the great
composer's own
arrangement for the
piano, as well as some of
his string quartets.
Clementi was also one of
the first English piano
manufacturers to make
pianos with a metal frame
and string them with
wire.The Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 was one of
six such works Clementi
wrote in 1797. He must
have been partial to
these little pieces (for
which he also provided
the fingerings), since
they were reissued
(without the fingering)
by the composer shortly
after 1801. About 1820,
he issued ''the sixth
edition, with
considerable improvements
by the author;· with
fingerings added and
several minor changes,
among which were that
many of them were written
an octave higher.IIIt has
often been said,
generally by those
unhampered by the facts,
that composers of the
past (and, dare we add,
the present?), usually
handled their financial
affairs with their public
and publishers with a
poor sense of business
acumen or common sense.
As a result they
frequently found
themselves in financial
straits.Contrary to
popular opinion, this was
the exception rather than
the rule. With the
exception of Mozart and
perhaps a few other
composers, the majority
of composers then, as
now, were quite
successful in their
dealings with the public
and their publishers, as
the following examples
will show.It was not
unusual for 18th- and
19th-century composers to
arrange some of their
more popular compositions
for different
combinations of
instruments in order to
increase their
availability to a larger
music-playing public.
Telemann, in the
introduction to his
seventy-two cantatas for
solo voice and one melody
instrument (flute, oboe
or violin, with the usual
continua) Der Harmonische
Gottesdienst, tor
example, suggests that if
a singer is not available
to perform a cantata the
voice part could be
played by another
instrument. And in the
introduction to his Six
Concertos and Six Suites
for flute, violin and
continua, he named four
different instrumental
combinations that could
perform these pieces, and
actually wrote out the
notes for the different
possibilities. Bach
arranged his violin
concertos for keyboard,
and Beethoven not only
arranged his Piano Sonata
in E Major, Opus 14, No.
1 for string quartet, he
also transposed it to the
key of F. Brahm's
well-known Quintet in F
Minor for piano and
strings was his own
arrangement of his
earlier sonata for two
pianos, also in F
Minor.IIIWe come now to
Clementi. It is well
known that some of his
sixty piano sonatas were
his own arrangements of
some of his lost
symphonies, and that some
of his rondos for piano
four-hands were
originally the last
movements of his solo
sonatas or piano trios.In
order to make the first
movement of his
delightful Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 accessible
to young string players,
I have followed the
example established by
the composer himself by
arranging and transposing
one of his piano
compositions from one
medium (the piano) to
another. (string
instruments). In order to
simplify the work for
young string players, in
the process of adapting
it to the new medium it
was necessary to
transpose it from the
original key of C to G,
thereby doing away with
some of the difficulties
they would have
encountered in the
original key. The first
violin and cello parts
are similar to the right-
and left-hand parts of
the original piano
version. The few changes
I have made in these
parts have been for the
convenience of the string
players, but in no way do
they change the nature of
the music.Since the
original implied a
harmonic framework in
many places, I have added
a second violin and viola
part in such a way that
they not only have
interesting music to
play, but also fill in
some of the implied
harmony without in any
way detracting from the
composition's musical
value. Occasionally, it
has been necessary to
raise or lower a few
passages an octave or to
modify others slightly to
make them more accessible
for young players.It is
hoped that the musical
value of the composition
has not been too
compromised, and that
students and teachers
will come to enjoy this
little piece in its new
setting as much as
pianists have in the
original one. This
arrangement may also be
performed by a solo
string quartet. When
performed by a string
orchestra, the double
bass part may be
omitted.- Douglas

inches. The ancient
Egyptian empire began
around 3100 B.C. and
continued for over 3000
years until Alexander the
Great conquered the
country in 332 B.C. Over
the centuries, the
Egyptian empire grew and
flourished into a highly
developed society. They
invented hieroglyphics,
built towering pyramids
(including the Great
Pyramid of Giza, the
oldest of the Seven
Wonders of the World),
and the created many
household items we still
use today, including
toothbrushes, toothpaste,
eyeliner, black ink, and
the forerunner of
modern-day paper.
Included among their
achievements were a
series of highly
developed funerary
practices and beliefs in
the Afterlife. As the
average lifespan of an
Egyptian hovered around
30 years, living past the
death of oneAs physical
body was a legitimate
concern. Egyptians
believed that upon death,
their souls would
undertake a harrowing
journey through the
Netherworld. If they
survived the horrific
creatures and arduous
trials that awaited them,
then their souls would be
reunified with their
bodies (hence the need to
preserve the body through
mummification) and live
forever in a perfect
version of the life they
had lived in Egypt. To
achieve this, Egyptians
devised around 200
magical spells and
incantations to aid souls
on the path to the
Afterlife. These spells
are collectively called
The Book of the Dead.
Particular spells would
be chosen by the family
of the deceased and
inscribed on the tombAs
walls and scrolls of
papyrus, as well as on a
stone scarab placed over
the deceasedAs heart.
Subsequent collections of
spells and mortuary
texts, such as The Book
of Gates, assisted a soul
in navigating the twelve
stages of the
Netherworld. Not only did
these spells protect and
guide the soul on this
dangerous path, but they
also served as a
safeguard against any
unbecoming behavior an
Egyptian did while alive.
For instance, if a person
had robbed another while
alive, there was a spell
that would prevent the
soulAs heart from
revealing the truth when
in the Hall of Judgment.
Rites for the Afterlife
follows the path of a
soul to the Afterlife. In
Inscriptions from the
Book of the Dead
(movement 1), the soul
leaves the body and
begins the journey,
protected by spells and
incantations written on
the tombAs walls. In
Passage though the
Netherworld (movement 2),
the soul is now on a
funerary barque, being
towed through the
Netherworld by four of
the regionAs inhabitants.
We hear the soul slowly
chanting incantations as
the barque encounters
demons, serpents,
crocodiles, lakes of
fire, and other terrors.
The soul arrives at The
Hall of Judgment in
movement 3. Standing
before forty-two divine
judges, the soul
addresses each by name
and gives a A!negative
confessionA(r) connected
to each judge (i.e. A!I
did not rob,A(r) A!I did
not do violence,A(r) and
so on). Afterwards, the
soulAs heart is put on a
scale to be weighed
against a feather of
MaAat, the goddess of
truth. If the heart
weighs more than the
feather, it will be eaten
by Ammut, a hideous
creature that lies in
wait below the scale, and
the soul will die a
second and permanent
death (this was the worst
fear of the Egyptians).
But if the heart is in
balance with the feather,
the soul proceeds onward.
The final stage of the
journey is the arrival at
The Field of Reeds
(movement 4), which is a
perfect mirror image of
the soulAs life in
ancient Egypt. The soul
reunites with deceased
family members, makes
sacrifices to the
Egyptian gods and
goddess, harvests crops
from plentiful fields of
wheat under a brilliant
blue sky, and lives
forever next to the
abundant and nourishing
waters of the Nile. Rites

French. A
previously unreleased
piece by Francis Poulenc,
published with permission
from the Bibliothèque
Historique de la Ville de
Paris and Benoît
Seringe, secretary of the
Association des amis
de Francis Poulenc
[Association of the
Friends ofFrancis
Poulenc]. Le Voyageur
sans bagage [The
Traveller Without
Luggage], which had been
premiered in 1937 with
music by Darius Milhaud,
was reprised on 1 April
1944 at the Thé tre de
la Michodière; Francis
Poulenc was asked to
compose new stage music.
Theentire unpublished
score lay undiscovered
until Bérengère de
l’Épine, a
librarian at the
Bibliothèque
Historique de la Ville de
Paris, announced the
existence of a manuscript
in the Association de la
Régie Thé trale
collection.Poulenc
finalised the score
between 19 and 21 March
1944. It contains nine
songs, all written for a
small instrumental
ensemble including oboe,
clarinet, cello and
piano. However, at the
end of the manuscript,
the composer echoes the
second song Lent
[Slow] and creates
another version for cello
and piano; curiously, the
original version of the
song has not been erased
in the manuscript.
Poulenc seems to suggest
that we consider the
piece for cello and
piano, that we have
publishedhere, as a
different piece of music.
It was premiered on
Wednesday 23 January 2013
by Marc Coppey,
accompanied by
Jean-François Heisser,
in the organ auditorium
of the Conservatoire
National Supérieur de
Musique et Danse de Paris
(CNSMDP), during
thesymposium for the
fiftieth anniversary of
Poulenc’s
death.Given in a dramatic
context, some elements
allow us to get an idea
of the character of the
piece, which Benoît
Seringe, Poulenc’s
beneficiary, judiciously
chose to name
Souvenirs.The main
character of
Anouilh’s play,
Gaston, is suffering from
amnesia at the end of
World War One. Several
families try to claim
him; they want him to be
their missing relative.
The Renaud family prove
to be particularly
stubborn, but Gaston
doesnot recognize himself
in the child and young
man they depict: a
ruthless and violent
person. In Act 1 Scene 3,
left alone for a moment,
overwhelmed by the story
of the “old
Gaston†that is
gradually coming to
light, and outraged by
the desire ofthose around
him to appropriate him
(to the detriment of the
person he would like to
be from now on), he
whispers these words:
“You all have
proof, photographs that
look like me, memories as
clear as day…
I’ve listened to
you all and it’s
slowlycausing a hybrid
person to rise up in me;
a person in which there
is a piece of each of
your sons and nothing of
me.†Poulenc chose
to place the second piece
from his stage music
score as these words are
spoken.He borrowed part
of the material, as he
often did, from an
earlier composition. In
this particular case, the
beginning is a recycled
version of the
“slow and
melancholicâ€
section from
L’Histoire de
Babar , composed
between 1940 and 1945,
andpremiered in 1946
(unless it is Babar
that reuses the
musical idea from
Voyageur ).The
eponymous elephant
decides to leave in
search of the great
forest. He embraces the
old lady, promises her he
will return and reassures
her that he will never
forget her. Left alone,
the old lady, feeling sad
and pensive, wonders when
she’ll seeher
friend Babar again. The
situation is similar to
that in Voyageur sans
bagage: solitude,
sadness, a distressing
and introspective time,
fear of oblivion, the
presence of
memories…

historique de la ville de
Paris, nous signala
l’existence
d’un manuscrit
dans le fonds de
l’Association de
la Régie thé
trale.Poulenc mit au
point sa partition entre
le 19 et le 21 mars 1944.
Elle comprend neuf
numéros, tous
écrits pour un petit
effectif instrumental
réunissant un
hautbois, une clarinette,
un violoncelle et un
piano.Cependant, la fin
de son manuscrit, le
compositeur reprend le no
2 Lent et en donne une
seconde version, pour
violoncelle et piano.
Curieusement, la version
originale de ce numéro
n’est pas
biffée dans le
manuscrit.Poulenc semble
nous inviter
considérer comme un
morceau distinct cette
pièce pour violoncelle
et piano dont nous
proposons ici
l’édition. Elle
a été créée
par Marc Coppey,
accompagné de
Jean-François Heisser,
lors du concert donné
durant lecolloque
organisé pour le
cinquantenaire du
décès de Poulenc,
le mercredi 23 janvier
2013, salle
d’orgue du
Conservatoire National
Supérieur de Musique
et de Danse de Paris
(CNSMDP).Quelques
éléments sur le
contexte dramatique
permettront de se faire
une idée du
caractère du morceau,
que Benoît Seringe,
ayant droit Poulenc, a
judicieusement choisi
d’intituler
Souvenirs.Le personnage
principal de la pièce
d’Anouilh, Gaston,
a été retrouvé
amnésique la fin de la
Première Guerre
Mondiale. Plusieurs
familles le réclament.
On veut voir en lui un
parent disparu. Les
Renaud se montrent
particulièrement
tenaces ; maisGaston ne
parvient se
reconnaître dans
l’enfant et le
jeune homme dont on lui
trace le portrait : un
être violent et sans
scrupule. Au tableau 3 de
l’acte I, resté
seul un moment,
écrasé par
l’histoire de cet
autre lui-même
qu’il découvre
peu peu, indigné par
le désir des personnes
qui l’entourent de
le ramener elles au
détriment de celui
qu’il voudrait
être désormais, il
se murmure ces paroles :
« Vous avez tous des
preuves, des
photographies
ressemblantes, des
souvenirs précis
commedes crimes… je
vous écoute tous et je
sens surgir peu peu
derrière moi un
être hybride où il
y a un peu de chacun de
vos fils et rien de moi
»…C’est
sur ces mots que Poulenc
a choisi de placer le no
2 de sa partition de
musique de scène.Comme
il le fait souvent, il
emprunte une composition
antérieure une part de
son matériau. Dans ce
cas précis, il
réutilise pour le
début du morceau la
section « Lent et
mélancolique » de
l’Histoire de
Babar, composée entre
1940 et 1945, créée
en1946 ( moins que ce ne
soit Babar qui
réutilise
l’idée musicale
du Voyageur). Le
héros-éléphant
s’est décidé
partir pour retrouver la
grande forêt. Il a
embrassé la vieille
dame, lui a promis de
revenir, l’a
rassurée : jamais il
ne
l’oubliera.RestÃ
e seule, la vieille
dame, triste et pensive,
se demande quand elle
reverra son ami Babar. La
situation est similaire
celle du Voyageur sans
bagage : solitude,
tristesse, instantde
trouble et de retour sur
soi, crainte de
l’oubli,
présence des
souvenirs…. $11.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 4 to 6 weeks | | |

ISBN 9790006559503. 33
x 26 cm inches. Key: C
minor. Preface: Michael
Stegemann. The
third symphony by Camille
Saint-Saens, known as the
Organ Symphony, is the
first publication in a
complete
historical-critical
edition of the French
composer's instrumental
works.
I gave
everything I was able to
give in this work. [...]
What I have done here I
will never be able to do
again.Camille Saint-Saens
was rightly proud of his
third Symphony in C minor
Op.78, dedicated to the
memory of Franz Liszt.
Called theOrgan
Symphonybecause of its
novel scoring, the work
was a commission from the
Philharmonic Society in
London, as was
Beethoven's Ninth, and
was premiered there on 19
May 1886. The first
performance in Paris
followed on 9 January
1887 and confirmed the
composer's reputation
asprobably the most
significant, and
certainly the most
independent French
symphonistof his time, as
Ludwig Finscher wrote in
MGG. In fact the work
remains the only one in
the history of that genre
in France to the present
day, composed a good half
century after the
Symphonie fantastique by
Hector Berlioz and a good
half century before
Olivier Messiaen's
Turangalila
Symphonie.
You
would think that such a
famous, much-performed
and much recorded opus
could not hold any more
secrets, but far from it:
in the first
historical-critical
edition of the Symphony,
numerous inconsistencies
and mistakes in the
Durand edition in general
use until now, have been
uncovered and corrected.
An examination and
evaluation of the sources
ranged from two early
sketches, now preserved
in Paris and Washington
(in which the Symphony
was still in B minor!)
via the autograph
manuscript and a set of
proofs corrected by
Saint-Saens himself, to
the first and subsequent
editions of the full
score and parts. The
versions for piano duet
(by Leon Roques) and for
two pianos (by the
composer himself) were
also consulted. Further
crucial information was
finally found in his
extensive correspondence,
encompassing thousands of
previously unpublished
letters. The discoveries
made in producing this
edition include the fact
that at its London
premiere, the Symphony
probably looked quite
different from its
present appearance
...
No less
exciting than the work
itself is the history of
its composition and
reception, which are
described in an extensive
foreword. With his
Symphony, Saint-Saens
entered right into the
dispute which divided
French musical life into
pro and contra Wagner in
the 1880s and 1890s. At
the same time, the work
succeeded in preserving
the balance between
tradition and modernism
in masterly fashion, as a
contemporary critic
stated:The C minor
Symphony by Saint-Saens
creates a bridge from the
past into the future,
from immortal richness to
progress, from ideas to
their
implementation.
On
19 March 1886 Saint-Saens
wrote to the London
Philharmonic Society,
which commissioned the
work:
Work on the
symphony is in full
swing. But I warn you, it
will be terrible. Here is
the precise
instrumentation: 3 flutes
/ 2 oboes / 1 cor anglais
/ 2 clarinets / 1 bass
clarinet / 2 bassoons / 1
contrabassoon / 2 natural
horns / [3 trumpets /
Saint-Saens had forgotten
these in his listing.] 2
chromatic horns / 3
trombones / 1 tuba / 3
timpani / organ / 1 piano
duet and the strings, of
course. Fortunately,
there are no harps.
Unfortunately it will be
difficult. I am doing
what I can to mitigate
the
difficulties.
As
in my 4th Concerto [for
piano] and my [1st]
Violin Sonata [in D minor
Op.75] at first glance
there appear to be just
two parts: the first
Allegro and the Adagio,
the Scherzo and the
Finale, each attacca.
This fiendish symphony
has crept up by a
semitone; it did not want
to stay in B minor, and
is now in C
minor.
It would be
a pleasure for me to
conduct this symphony.
Whether it would be a
pleasure for others to
hear it? That is the
question. It is you who
wanted it, I wash my
hands of it. I will bring
the orchestral parts
carefully corrected with
me, and if anyone wants
to give me a nice
rehearsal for the
symphony after the full
rehearsal, everything
will be fine.
When
Saint-Saens hit upon the
idea of adding an organ
and a piano to the usual
orchestral scoring is not
known. The idea of adding
an organ part to a
secular orchestral work
intended for the concert
hall was thoroughly novel
- and not without
controversy. On the other
hand, Franz Liszt, whose
music Saint-Saens'
Symphony is so close to,
had already demonstrated
that the organ could
easily be an orchestral
instrument in his
symphonic poem
Hunnenschlacht (1856/57).
There was also a model
for the piano duet part
which Saint-Saens knew
and may possibly have
used quite consciously as
an exemplar: theFantaisie
sur la Tempetefrom the
lyrical monodrama Lelio,
ou le retour a la Vie op.
14bis (1831) by Berlioz.
The name of the organist
at the premiere ist
unknown, as,
incidentally, was also
the case with many of the
later performances; the
organ part is indeed not
soloistic, but should be
understood as part of the
orchestral
texture.
In fact
the subsequent success of
the symphony seems to
have represented a kind
of breakthrough for the
composer, who was then
over 50 years of age.My
dear composer of a famous
symphony, wrote
Saint-Saens' friend and
pupil Gabriel Faure:You
will never be able to
imagine what a pleasure I
had last Sunday [at the
second performance on 16
January 1887]! And I had
the score and did not
miss a single note of
this Symphony, which will
endure much longer than
we two, even if we were
to join together our two
lifespans!

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

victory.. Written to

Nights of Light is a
fantastic medley of
traditional Chanukah and
Jewish tunes arranged for
today's middle and high
school concert band. This
Grade 3.5 arrangement is
rooted in my childhood
days when my family would
gather around the menorah
and warm the cold winter
nights with singing and
inspiration. I originally
made this medley for
piano and for my own
personal use. One day as
my colleague Christopher
Cicconi and I were
discussing our holiday
plans, my medley came up
in conversation.
Christopher asked to see
and listen to it. Shortly
thereafter, he suggested
that this would make a
terrific band piece.
Immediately, we began
work. The vast majority
of tunes are traditional,
but I introduce a new
tune by a contemporary
Rabbi who has been very
important to me. This
arrangement is
particularly effective as
Chris, who has conducted
at the middle, high
school and university
levels, has a masterful
grasp of how the pedagogy
works with younger
concert bands. --Jonathan

Warlike, then
noble, Now is the Day is
based on the great figure
in Scottish history -
William Wallace, often
called Braveheart.
Opening with the
woodwinds playing drums
along with the percussion
section against brass
fanfares, this piece will
create an air of
excitement. An alto
saxophone solo provides a
brief moment of solace
between the battle
scenes.
This work
is based on a great
figure in Scottish
history - William
Wallace, often called
Braveheart. The song
Scots wha hae wi' Wallace
bled, which is Scotland's
unofficial national
anthem contains the line
Now is the day and how is
the hour, and this is the
source of the title. The
opening section is
warlike in sound with
woodwinds playing
tambours of some sort -
tom-toms, tambours, even
old drum skins will make
the kind of noise
required to simulate a
battle. Noisy brass
fanfares are melodic
fragments of Scots wha
hae melody. Eventually,
woodwinds join in and the
music slows down to an
alto saxophone solo,
again based on fragments
of Scots wha hae. The
battle tempo resumes and
percussion then lead the
band noisily into an
eventual full statement
of the theme creating a
noble sound against the
continuing drum patterns,
leading to a triumphant
ending. $45.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 3 to 4 weeks | | |
