Wherever you are tonight, Yellow pulls across the hills and thrums Will you know how the world Like silence after lightning Was washed where I was. Before it says its names. When I went away Wishing for you I was wrong. You were aimed from birth: I wanted to vow You will never be alone. We weren’t the world’s twins. Rain will come, a gutter filled, Now I allow whole wastes, An Amazon, long aisles. Winter wherever I am, You never heard so deep a sound, Even when the weather warms. Moss on rock, and years. No wonder I Will welcome the wolf of my wanting. That’s what the silence meant: You’re not alone. Madeline Tiger The whole wide world pours down.

  • WHITEHALL CHOIR SCHUBERT Stabat Mater MOZART Mass in C
    WHITEHALL CHOIR Brandenburg Sinfonia SCHUBERT Stabat Mater MOZART Mass in C minor Conductor PAUL SPICER (Sopranos) Emily Garland, Anna Sideris (Tenor) Ørjan Bruskeland Hinna (Baritone) Nicholas Mogg Thursday, 2 April 2015, 7.30pm St John’s Smith Square, London SW1P 3HA Programme £2 Ascendit – Music for Passiontide to Ascension. The perfect Easter gift The pieces for Whitehall Choir’s most recent CD, Ascendit, its third, recorded in 2014, were chosen to trace the period of the church’s year between Passiontide and Ascension. In selecting them, we wanted to present a wide variety of styles and periods, including a substantial amount of recent music. A key element was the winning entry of Whitehall Choir's 70th anniversary Young Composer Competition, which stipulated that the piece had to set words which related to the programme. Samuel Parsons’ work movingly sets the words from the Latin Stabat Mater alongside those of Elizabeth Jennings. We also sing pieces by James MacMillan, one of the greatest choral composers of the present day, and his teacher Kenneth Leighton. Balancing all this modern music are classics from earlier periods including Purcell’s near-perfect Remember not, Lord, our offences, Lotti’s extraordinary Crucifixus and Gibbons’s precocious doctoral exercise for Oxford University, O Clap your Hands, one of the truly virtuoso compositions of the Tudor period. There really should be something for everyone on this CD. In accordance with the requirements of Westminster City Council persons shall not be permitted to sit or stand in any gangway. The taking of photographs and use of recording equipment is strictly forbidden without formal consent from St John’s.

  • The History and Usage of the Tuba in Russia
    The History and Usage of the Tuba in Russia D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James Matthew Green, B.A., M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2015 Document Committee: Professor James Akins, Advisor Professor Joseph Duchi Dr. Margarita Mazo Professor Bruce Henniss ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Copyright by James Matthew Green 2015 ! ! ! ! ! ! Abstract Beginning with Mikhail Glinka, the tuba has played an important role in Russian music. The generous use of tuba by Russian composers, the pedagogical works of Blazhevich, and the solo works by Lebedev have familiarized tubists with the instrument’s significance in Russia. However, the lack of available information due to restrictions imposed by the Soviet Union has made research on the tuba’s history in Russia limited. The availability of new documents has made it possible to trace the history of the tuba in Russia. The works of several composers and their use of the tuba are examined, along with important pedagogical materials written by Russian teachers. ii Dedicated to my wife, Jillian Green iii Acknowledgments There are many people whose help and expertise was invaluable to the completion of this document. I would like to thank my advisor, professor Jim Akins for helping me grow as a musician, teacher, and person. I would like to thank my committee, professors Joe Duchi, Bruce Henniss, and Dr. Margarita Mazo for their encouragement, advice, and flexibility that helped me immensely during this degree. I am indebted to my wife, Jillian Green, for her persistence for me to finish this document and degree.

  • Key Signatures Meters Tempo Clefs and Transpositions Position Work for Strings Divisi
    The composition criteria for MSHSAA sight reading selections were revised in 2013-14. As a result, the committee determined that it would be beneficial to music directors throughout the state to have this criterion available to assist in preparations for sight reading. With this information in hand, directors will have a better understanding of the difficulty of the selection that will be used and will know what to expect in regard to rhythms, ranges, time signatures, etc. Key Signatures Key Signatures will be limited to the following: C, G, D, F, Bb, Eb major. There should be at least one key signature change per piece. Meters Meters will be limited to the following: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, Cut Time, 6/8 Tempo Tempi will be no slower than 72 beats per minute and no faster than 120 beats per minute. For continuous pieces, there will be at least one tempo change, but no more than two. Clefs and Transpositions Viola can have limited use of treble clef. Cello can have limited use of tenor clef. Bassoon and trombone will use bass clef only. All French horn parts will be in F. All clarinet parts will be in Bb. All trumpet parts will be in Bb. Position Work for Strings 3rd position and minimal use of 5th position may be used in the violin 1 part only. Minimal 3rd position work may be used in the violin 2 and viola parts. Half, 2nd, 3rd and 4th position work may be used in the cello part. Half position to the fourth position work may be used in the bass part.

Jack L-Scott 1970 t(I Acknowledgments IV The time spent in research on this project has been invaluably enriched by the willing assistance of so many. I am grateful for the opportunity of being able to examine the instrument and music collections of the Sheffield., York Castlep Keighley,, Cyfarthfa and East Yorkshire Regimental museums. Acknowledgment is also given for the assistance received from the Sheffield Central Library (commerce and science and local history departments), Eanchester Central Librarys and espec- ially for the British Museum Reading Room and the University of Sheffield Main Library staff. From a practical point, acknowledgment is given to Boosey and Hawkes for a generous research grant as well as an extended personal tour of their facilities and to the University of S%effield research fund. Visits to 'Wright and Round, publishers of brass band music, have also been rewarding. Active partici- pation with the Stocksbridgep Sheffield Recreation and Staveley Works brass'bands has also proved valuable as well as the associ- ation with mmerous other bands,, notably Stalybridges and countless bandsmen. Finallys appreciation is expressed to the faculty, staff and students of the music department. The loss of Dr. Phillip Lord was a personal loss; the guidance of Professor Deane has been an inspiration. To my vifep Jan. and the childrenp go my special thanks for their patience and understanding. Jack L.

  • Arvo Pärt's Serial and Tintinnabuli Works
    Arvo Pärt’s Serial and Tintinnabuli Works: A Continuum of Process by Mark Eric John Vuorinen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Mark Vuorinen, 2014. Arvo Pärt’s Serial and Tintinnabuli Works: A Continuum of Process Mark Vuorinen Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2014 Abstract The music of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt has received wide recognition globally, making him one the world’s most often performed living composers. In 1968, Pärt entered a self-imposed period of compositional silence and study. Before 1968 Pärt composed using an atonal, serial language. When he reemerged musically, in 1976, it was with an entirely new language he calls tintinnabuli. For good reason most scholarship acknowledges Pärt’s years of silence as a great divide between two disparate periods of his writing. This study, however, makes an explicit link in the method of composition between his serial music and the triadic, tonal music of the his early years using the tintinnabuli language. It also reveals the extent to which his music has evolved since the codification of tintinnabuli procedures in the early 1980s. Once again, it is shown that Pärt’s primary method of composition remains controlled by pre-compositional designs. Once set, these pre-compositional rules play out, predictably following their prescribed procedure. Recognizing this important parallel acknowledges that his music is not of disparate schools, but rather, is a continuum of compositional method. Complete musical analyses of important Pärt works, Credo (1968), Passio (1982) and Como cierva sedienta (1998), contained in this study reveal that although the musical language has ii entirely changed, the processes with which Pärt composes unite the work of a composer.
