During the summer of 2017, Barnes lost many close friends to cancer. One of the ways he processed his grief was by developing this powerful musical meditation exploring love and death. Beginning with the story of Orpheus, the program connects the music of Glass, Liszt, Bond, and byzan- tine chant. Glass and Bond have written multiple pieces for him in the past, many also based on byz- antine chant. He has also specialized in Liszt, partic- ularly in terms of religious symbolism in his piano music. Paul Barnes in Love, Death, and Resurrection in the Musical Vision of Philip Glass, Franz Liszt, and Ancient Chant takes place on Sunday, March 10 at 3:00 pm at Nichols Concert Hall, 1490 Chicago Avenue in Evanston.

Doctoral Dissertations. 580. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/580 ABSTRACT The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias Joshua Michael May University of Connecticut, 2014 W. A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice.

  • Los Angeles Master Chorale Receives Major Grant from the James Irvine Foundation
    PRESS RELEASE Los Angeles Master Chorale Receives Major Grant from The James Irvine Foundation $450,000 two-year grant will support the Big Sing California project through 2018 Los Angeles, CA (Sep. 1, 2016) - The Los Angeles Master Chorale announced today that The James Irvine Foundation has awarded a $450,000 Exploring Engagement Fund grant to support the Chorale’s launch of Big Sing California that will culminate in June 2018. This two-year grant will support the Chorale’s ongoing efforts to utilize state-of-the-art live- streaming technology to enable thousands of Californians to connect with others throughout the state for a shared singing experience, led by its Swan Family Artist-in- Residence and Grammy award-winning composer/conductor Eric Whitacre. “We are honored and delighted and extremely thankful to The James Irvine Foundation,” said Grant Gershon, Los Angeles Master Chorale’s Artistic Director. “Our goal for the Big Sing California is simply to inspire people to tap into a gift each person is born with, namely, the ability to sing. As one of the nation’s most prominent choruses, the Master Chorale is taking a leadership role in creating the fertile environment in which the love of singing and the choral arts can grow and thrive.” The Los Angeles Master Chorale’s grant was highlighted in yesterday’s announcement by The James Irvine Foundation which approved $7.73 million in grants. These grants reflect the Foundation’s continued commitments to current grantees, as well as new investments related to the foundation’s new focus: increasing economic and political opportunity for California families and young adults who are working but struggling with poverty.
