Carlson for the Los Angeles based chamber Ever since I became interested in contemporary classical music, the prospect of integrating grooves music series Pacific Serenades. While its four individual movements were easy to name — 1. Béla, from musical styles such as jazz, rock & roll, pop, world music and electronica into my concert works as a homage to Béla Bartók; 2. Cartwheels, as in “people happily doing cartwheels in a variety of has intrigued me. Having been a jazz guitarist in the early stages of my musical career I felt that the ways”; 3. Northern Lights, inspired by Los Angeles violist Roland Kato’s trip to Scandinavia to see the New Music community had not yet addressed these kind of rhythms thoroughly enough. Northern Lights; and 4. Nashville, for me being hooked on the namesake ABC TV series — finding Passing Through is my third album of chamber music compositions containing such grooves a name for the composition as a whole proved to be elusive. For a while I wasn’t able to think of as the means of providing forward propulsion, generating additional energy, and also simply for anything that I could hang my hat on. the fun of it. The groove-oriented passages (and, in some of the pieces, entire movements) are Then, on the day I finished composing, I went for a walk in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park. I was counterbalanced by extended slow and contemplative music. The grooves themselves are frequently thinking about how, in this particular piece, musical devices that are used in one movement also spelled out directly. In other instances they are inferred, sometimes implying additional, non-audible rather surprisingly pop up in other movements, creating an inner network of sorts. Could these rhythmic elements. internal musical connections help me find the name of my composition? And suddenly, there it was I’m indebted to the excellent musicians on this album who handled these grooves with ease — String Theory. However, I was skeptical. String Theory certainly rolls off the tongue easily, and and lent their wonderful musicality to all aspects of this project. it is a cute play of words on the musical instruments involved. But I didn’t know much about the I hope you’ll enjoy the music! content and meaning of string theory, so off to the internet I went. — GERNOT WOLFGANG After learning that string theory “attempts to provide a complete, unified and consistent description of the fundamental structure of our universe” (quoted from the website of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexiko) I became intrigued when reading about the concept of “Dualities.” According to Wikipedia, at one time scientists believed there were five distinct superstring theories of which only one would be the correct one. Later, it was discovered that all five theories are Flurry for bassoon and piano in fact related to each other by transformations called dualities. Flurry was originally written for flute and piano, to celebrate the 15th annual concert season of the And then I found key information applying to my composition: “If two theories are said to Los Angeles-based chamber music series Chamber Music Palisades. be “dual to one another”, it means that the first theory can be transformed in some way so that it While Flurry is a short piece, its form reminds of much larger compositions. The piece starts ends up looking just like the second theory.” In other words, the two theories could be viewed as two out fast, with a swirling unison-theme, but calms over a short period of time into a lyrical middle different mathematical descriptions of the same thing. section. A brief bassoon cadenza leads Flurry back into an upbeat variation of its main theme, If you exchanged the word “theory” with “musical device,” the above would perfectly describe followed by an energetic, jazzy piano feature. The piece ends with a short, forceful coda. what is repeatedly happening in my string quartet. Musical Device A, initially used in Movement 1, was transformed — by switching from arco to pizzicato and by changing the underlying harmony and inner voices — to Musical Device B, which in its new form occurs in movement 2. In keeping with what was said above, Device A and Device B could be viewed as two different musical through an evergreen forest. At one point we got out of the car. Everything was covered with snow, descriptions of the same thing. and all sounds were muffled. Snow dust fell slowly from the trees, getting caught in the moonbeams. And that’s when I started feeling good about naming my new piece String Theory. Inman Square is in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In the late 1980s it was home to several jazz clubs, which were located on opposite sides of the square. The movement captures the energy that Passing Through for oboe and bassoon emanated from these clubs, the excitement of the patrons streaming in and out of them and the Passing Through is a composition in three movements and was written in 2011 for the instrumentation snippets of high octane jazz that could be heard whenever the doors opened for an instant. of oboe (or clarinet) and bassoon (or bass clarinet). Mount Desert Island in Maine’s Arcadia National Park has a number of quiet inland lakes. Its title relates to the quick, random thoughts that I had while trying to name the individual I remember the stillness surrounding these lakes, occasionally interrupted by the sounds of forest movements. The thoughts seemed to spring out of nowhere and went as quickly as they came, animals. The water’s glassy surface was broken every now and then by the rise of a fish, or the landing/ almost without consequence. taking off of a water bird. Insects were dancing on the water in an atmosphere of calm serenity. Bounce refers to the bass line in 7/8 played by the bassoon (or bass clarinet) at the beginning of the first movement. Evening Song resides within a tranquil, peaceful atmosphere. The Flea Trilogy for oboe, bassoon and piano comments on the jumpiness and, at times, unpredictability of the third movement. Trilogy was written in 1998-1999. The piece reflects my equal love of contemporary concert music and jazz. Jazz is clearly responsible for the rhythmic element, whereas the influences of concert New England Travelogue for piano and string quartet music are present in the developmental and formal aspects of the composition.

    UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN CONCERT SERIES 2019 -2O20 OPENING CONCERT PETER McNEILL: French Horn ELLEN McNEILL: Soprano ALEXANDRA WEBBER GARCIA: Violin JEREMY COLEMAN: Piano KING’S COLLEGE CHAPEL Thursday 19th September, 2019 In my sixth year at school, in the French class, we studied a poem by Alfred De Vigny entitled Le Cor – The Horn. The opening line read: “J’aime le son du cor, le soir, au fond des bois”. I have always remembered that line which suggests the evocative misty reverberant sound of which the French horn is capable. The second piece in the concert ‘Waldvöglein’ by Franz Paul Lachner deals with woodland but even in the first movement of the opening work, ‘Horn Sonata in F major, op. 17’ by Beethoven with its sense of echo, its leaps, its variety in dynamics and with wonderfully expressive playing over the full range of the horn, De Vigny’s romantic and atmospheric description of the horn sound came to mind. Beneath it though, Jeremy Coleman’s dazzlingly virtuosic piano playing lit up Beethoven’s music to perfection. In the comparatively short slow second movement, the horn was gentle and beautifully smooth. Peter McNeill made his horn part flow so freely. Then the ‘song and dance’ music of the finale delivered moments of electrifying energy from both horn and piano. Horn and piano were joined by Peter’s sister Ellen a delightfully clear sounding soprano in ‘Waldvöglein’ by Lachner described as ‘the most successful composer of the Schubert circle’. Ellen has a delightfully silver-toned soprano voice. She would be perfect in the role of the young virginal Sophie von Faninal in Richard Strauss’s opera ‘Der Rosenkavalier’.

  • Gender Association with Stringed Instruments: a Four-Decade Analysis of Texas All-State Orchestras
    Texas Music Education Research, 2012 V. D. Baker Edited by Mary Ellen Cavitt, Texas State University—San Marcos Gender Association with Stringed Instruments: A Four-Decade Analysis of Texas All-State Orchestras Vicki D. Baker Texas Woman’s University The violin, viola, cello, and double bass have fluctuated in both their gender acceptability and association through the centuries. This can partially be attributed to the historical background of women’s involvement in music. Both church and society rigidly enforced rules regarding women’s participation in instrumental music performance during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. In the 1700s, Antonio Vivaldi established an all-female string orchestra and composed music for their performance. In the early 1800s, women were not allowed to perform in public and were severely limited in their musical training. Towards the end of the 19th century, it became more acceptable for women to study violin and cello, but they were forbidden to play in professional orchestras. Societal beliefs and conventions regarding the female body and allure were an additional obstacle to women as orchestral musicians, due to trepidation about their physiological strength and the view that some instruments were “unsightly for women to play, either because their presence interferes with men’s enjoyment of the female face or body, or because a playing position is judged to be indecorous” (Doubleday, 2008, p. 18). In Victorian England, female cellists were required to play in problematic “side-saddle” positions to prevent placing their instrument between opened legs (Cowling, 1983). The piano, harp, and guitar were deemed to be the only suitable feminine instruments in North America during the 19th Century in that they could be used to accompany ones singing and “required no facial exertions or body movements that interfered with the portrait of grace the lady musician was to emanate” (Tick, 1987, p.

  • Handel's Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment By
    Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Emeritus John H. Roberts Professor George Haggerty, UC Riverside Professor Kevis Goodman Fall 2013 Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Rhodes Lee ABSTRACT Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Throughout the 1740s and early 1750s, Handel produced a dozen dramatic oratorios. These works and the people involved in their creation were part of a widespread culture of sentiment. This term encompasses the philosophers who praised an innate “moral sense,” the novelists who aimed to train morality by reducing audiences to tears, and the playwrights who sought (as Colley Cibber put it) to promote “the Interest and Honour of Virtue.” The oratorio, with its English libretti, moralizing lessons, and music that exerted profound effects on the sensibility of the British public, was the ideal vehicle for writers of sentimental persuasions. My dissertation explores how the pervasive sentimentalism in England, reaching first maturity right when Handel committed himself to the oratorio, influenced his last masterpieces as much as it did other artistic products of the mid- eighteenth century. When searching for relationships between music and sentimentalism, historians have logically started with literary influences, from direct transferences, such as operatic settings of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, to indirect ones, such as the model that the Pamela character served for the Ninas, Cecchinas, and other garden girls of late eighteenth-century opera.

Chamber music is the essence of music itself; timeless yet ephemeral, grand in scope yet intimate in scale. It is this balance of technical skill and artistic elegance that has compelled audiences for hundreds of years. Lobero LIVE is proud to present a series comprised of three distinctive performances celebrated and hand-selected soloists. The Lobero Theatre Chamber Music Project is imbued with the spirit of camaraderie and continues a tradition of chamber music performances of the highest quality at the Lobero Theatre. Each concert features a hand-picked group of top international soloists performing repertoire that defines this dynamic and intimate genre. “For many years of Tuesday nights at the Lobero, Heiichiro Ohyama enriched Santa Barbara's classical cultural life, as the quietly impassioned maestro of the Santa Barbara chamber orchestra–Santa Barbara's "other" orchestra, the little-ish orchestra that could. SBCO's absence in recent years has left a still-palpable gap in our civic musical calendar. The bold new Lobero Chamber Music Project, spearheaded by Ohyama, is great news, indeed, for music lovers and the greater cultural good in the 805.” –Josef Woodard, contributor to the Santa Barbara News-Press, Independent, Los Angeles Times, etc.
