Flanders is the northern, Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, and Wallonia the Southern, French- and also German- speaking part. Each community is autonomous for matters such as culture, education, media,… and has its own institutions. Brussels, capital of Belgium and of Flanders as well, is home to the European Parliament and many international cultural institutions. Its cultural policy is taken in charge by the institutions of the communities. PREFACE 7 On a map of the world Belgium being followed up by looks smaller than a postage many younger musicians stamp.

No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward.

  • An Examination of Minimalist Tendencies in Two Early Works by Terry Riley Ann Glazer Niren Indiana University Southeast First I
    An Examination of Minimalist Tendencies in Two Early Works by Terry Riley Ann Glazer Niren Indiana University Southeast First International Conference on Music and Minimalism University of Wales, Bangor Friday, August 31, 2007 Minimalism is perhaps one of the most misunderstood musical movements of the latter half of the twentieth century. Even among musicians, there is considerable disagreement as to the meaning of the term “minimalism” and which pieces should be categorized under this broad heading.1 Furthermore, minimalism is often referenced using negative terminology such as “trance music” or “stuck-needle music.” Yet, its impact cannot be overstated, influencing both composers of art and rock music. Within the original group of minimalists, consisting of La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass2, the latter two have received considerable attention and many of their works are widely known, even to non-musicians. However, Terry Riley is one of the most innovative members of this auspicious group, and yet, he has not always received the appropriate recognition that he deserves. Most musicians familiar with twentieth century music realize that he is the composer of In C, a work widely considered to be the piece that actually launched the minimalist movement. But is it really his first minimalist work? Two pieces that Riley wrote early in his career as a graduate student at Berkeley warrant closer attention. Riley composed his String Quartet in 1960 and the String Trio the following year. These two works are virtually unknown today, but they exhibit some interesting minimalist tendencies and indeed foreshadow some of Riley’s later developments.

Arguments can be made on the bases of shared cultural experiences, including language and education, but these need to be tested rather than simply assumed. Yet there is an extensive tradition in particular of histories of music from the United States which assume such music constitutes a body of work separable from other concurrent music, or at least will benefit from such isolation, because of its supposed unique properties.

  • History of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra
    HISTORY OF THE PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA For more than 119 years, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has been an essential part of Pittsburgh’s cultural landscape. The Pittsburgh Symphony, known for its artistic excellence, is credited with a rich history of the world’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens. This tradition was furthered in fall 2008, when Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck assumed the position of music director with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Heading the list of internationally recognized conductors to have led the Pittsburgh Symphony is Victor Herbert, music director between 1898 and 1904, who influenced the early development of the symphony. Preceding Herbert was Frederic Archer (1896-1899), the first Pittsburgh Orchestra conductor. The symphony’s solidification as an American institution took place in the late 1930s under the direction of Maestro Otto Klemperer. Conductors prior to Klemperer were Emil Paur (1904-1910), Elias Breeskin (1926-1930) and Antonio Modarelli (1930-1937). From 1938 to 1948, under the dynamic directorship of Fritz Reiner, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra embarked on a new phase of its history, making its first international tour and its first commercial recording. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s standard of excellence was maintained and enhanced through the inspired leadership of William Steinberg during his quarter-century as music director between 1952 and 1976. André Previn (1976-1984) led the Orchestra to new heights through tours, recordings and television, including the PBS series, “Previn and the Pittsburgh.” Lorin Maazel began his relationship with the Pittsburgh Symphony in 1984 as music consultant but later served as a highly regarded music director from 1988 to 1996.

  • MAXIMIZING the AUDIENCE Originally Published in the Book That
    MAXIMIZING THE AUDIENCE Originally published in the book that came with the vinyl boxed edition of Soft Verdict's Maximizing The Audience TWI 485 Contemporary music seldom evokes philosophical reflections upon the Arts, yet the exquisiteness of the music of Wim Mertens demands it. Mertens' music has its roots in American Minimal Music, a tradition which holds that composition can be achieved through the use of the fewest possible musical devices. Despite belonging to this tradition, Mertens' music is distinguishable from that of Reich and Glass, who are comparatively much more concerned with conceptual, System and Process music. These forms of musical conception may truly be described as objectified musical forms. As such they form an autonomous normative system which governs not only each individual composition but also the developmental trend of the composer. So we find that unilinear musical composition was produced over the years. But this is not to say that the multiplicity of musical compositions was simply an indistinguishable whole. On the contrary, many a composition contained its own distinctive features and defined meaning peculiar to itself. Precisely because both compositional technique and musical form were subjected to a closed autonomous normative system, repetition effectively became the dominant technique. It was almost an art in itself. To the extent that the Minimalists virtually transformed repetition into an art they managed magnificently to retain and promote their activity. So it was with those who adopted the minimal principles but refused to be governed by its rigid normative system. It is particularly inept therefore to suggest without due regard for differentiation, as does John Gill, that Philip Glass is the undisputed godfather of all variations in minimal music.

  • Con Certgebouw Cahier
    CONCERTGEBOUWCAHIER HISTORISCHE UITVOERINGSPRAKTIJK? — Elise Simoens in gesprek met twintig eminente stemmen uit de wereld van de oude muziek La véritable tradition n’est pas de refaire ce que d’autres ont fait, mais de retrouver l’esprit qui a fait ces choses. Paul Valéry Voorwoord Na de Concertgebouwcahiers over de componisten Händel, Brahms en Schumann, staat in deze nieuwe publicatie niet het repertoire, maar de uitvoering ervan centraal. Elise Simoens interviewde twintig emi- nente musici van verschillende generaties over hun dagelijkse praktijk in de wereld van de oude muziek. Het persoonlijke parcours van elk van hen gaf mee gestalte aan de enorme rijkdom en diversiteit van de oudemuziekpraktijk zoals we die vandaag kennen. De rode draad van deze beweging is een niet-aflatende zoektocht naar historische instrumenten, bezettingen en speelwijzen; naar manuscrip- ten, uitgaven en traktaten; naar een zo volledig mogelijk begrip van muzikale composities en hun ontstaanscontext, en dit alles vanuit een absoluut respect voor de componist. Uit de boeiende interviews blijkt dat deze integriteit de eigen intuïtie geenszins in de weg staat. Stuk voor stuk laten de verhelderende uitspraken grote persoonlijkheden zien die de retorische kracht van muziek hoog in het vaandel dragen en intens met hun publiek communiceren. Hoe belangrijk het pioniers- werk ook is voor de generaties die komen, het hercreëren van muziek is een never-ending story. Net daarom zien we de toekomst, samen met deze musici, vol vertrouwen tegemoet. Oprechte dank gaat uit naar hoofdredacteur Elise Simoens, die deze uitgebreide opdracht met grote toewijding volbracht, en voor wie geen afstand te ver was om interessante gesprekspartners te vinden.
