Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Charles Munch To mark the centennial of the birth of Charles Munch, the Boston Symphony Archives has mounted a display of memorabilia in the Cohen Wing lobby. Using photographs, letters, programs, and other historical documents, the exhibit explores the career of Charles Munch, focusing on his tenure as Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1949 to 1962. In the photograph above, Munch (right) is shown with guest conductor Pierre Monteux (left), himself music director of the BSO from 1919 to 1924, and the train conductor just prior to departing on the BSO's transconti- nental tour in 1953. The Boston Symphony Archives extends special thanks to Bunnell Frame Shop for its generous assistance in mounting this exhibit.

    SS e e q q u u e e n n c c e e r r The newsletter of the Nottingham & District Society of Organists Est. 1932 2014-15, Issue 2 This edition of Sequencer was compiled and edited by David Gabe, produced by Peter Siepmann, and printed by Temple Printing Ltd. Please address any correspondence to [email protected] FROM THE PRESIDENT Michael Anthony BSc(Eng) MIET MInstP So, after much planning, the new year's activities are well underway. Although part of Peter's planning from last year, the French romantic master class with David Butterworth at the Albert Hall in August was much appreciated by those who attended and played. We really are most fortunate in the resources and experience accessible to our Members. In September, holidays were still in full swing for some people, and a small number attended both St Matthew's Church in Darley Abbey, Derby and the Moravian Church in Ockbrook. We had unlimited access to two very different instruments and worship cultures, and Ron Cutts gives a full account elsewhere in this issue. Ian Wells explored the work of several 20th Century composers with Non-Conformist connections, with especial focus on William Lloyd Webber, 2014 being the centenary of his birth. His music is well worth the effort of finding and learning. We had an exploration of technology with our visit to Roger's Music. Roger Hagarty is well known to many members from his years as manager at both Fox's and Williams' music shops, and latterly in his own business.

Swedish composer and organist Elfrida Andrée (1841-1929) was a pioneer of her time. An activist in Sweden’s suffragette movement, Andrée advocated for law reform so that she would be permitted to work as a professional organist in Stockholm and Gothenburg, and became the first woman in Sweden to do so.

Concerto No. 1, written in 1927, is a vivid and witty example of his romantic spirit, exquisite melodies and rich yet transparent orchestration. Concerto No. 2, composed a decade later, is a darker, more dramatic and virtuosic work. The deeply-felt and dreamlike slow movement and passionate finale are tinged with bleak moments of somber agitation, suggestive of unfolding tragic events with the imminent introduction of the Fascist Racial Laws that led Castelnuovo-Tedesco to seek exile in the USA in 1939. The Four Dances from ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’, part of the composer’s recurring fascination for the art of Shakespeare, are atmospheric, richly characterised and hugely enjoyable. This is their first performance and recording. After winning national and international awards, Alessandro Marangoni has appeared throughout Europe and America, as a soloist and as a © Zu Zweit chamber musician, collaborating with some of Italy’s leading performers.

  • Poulenc Stabat Mater and Bruckner Motets
    Welcome to Etcetera’s sixth appearance in this prestigious venue. Over 300 events are put on here every year, so do look at what is on – in particular our concert is part of the second St John’s Smith Square Holy Week Festival, curated in partnership with Tenebrae, running to Easter Sunday. Having given a concert here on the Tuesday of Holy Week since 2013 we were delighted to have been welcomed for the inaugural Festival last year. It was during a meeting to discuss our plans for this year that Nigel Short, Director of Tenebrae and curator of the Festival, mentioned Poulenc’s rarely performed Stabat Mater. I shall be forever grateful. The Poulenc setting of the Stabat Mater is an extraordinary piece of music, and many choir members have said what a great privilege it has been to work towards a potentially once-in-a-lifetime performance. This is undoubtedly the most challenging and ambitious concert Etcetera has tackled, and we have had to work very hard, collectively and individually. Whether we made the right decision to do it, we shall find out today. As an un-auditioned workplace choir, meeting one lunchtime a week we have already achieved some remarkable things. We hope we achieve something extraordinary today. I remain immensely grateful to Richard Heason, Director of this venue, and his team, for all their support and for giving us the tremendous opportunity to perform here. On everyone’s behalf I should like to thank you for making it all worthwhile by coming to support us today and for your generosity at the end.

Most works in the genre were written by virtuosos such as Leclair, Viotti, Spohr, Wieniawski and Ysaÿe, but composers of the calibre of Telemann, Michael Haydn, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Honegger and Bartók also took up the challenge. Given the restrictions imposed by having to combine the sound of two identical instruments whose primary role is more melodic than polyphonic, composers have tended to focus on thematic development, harmony and rhythm, resulting in highly imaginative explorations of the instrument’s technical potential. Jean-Marie Leclair (1697–1764), founder of the French violin school, wrote his 12 duets in an elegant idiom that brought together the best of the French and Italian styles.

  • Rafael Puyana (1931-2013) Restauró La Identidad Del Clave
    Rafael Puyana (1931-2013) Restauró la identidad del clave Dos extremos marcan el repertorio de la música oída en el siglo XX: el de la mirada contemporánea facilitada por la creación con el estreno de nuevas obras, y el del retorno al pasado apoyado en la recuperación de un corpus de carácter histórico cuyos criterios interpretativos hubo que investigar y reconstruir. A partir de esta doble mirada hay que entender el trabajo del clavecinista Rafael Puyana (Bogotá, Colombia, 14 de octubre de 1931 - París, Francia, 1 de marzo de 2013), un pionero del instrumento. El éxito como intérprete del teclado lo tuvo garantizado desde bien temprano. A los 6 años inició los estudios de piano con su tía, continuándolos con Giacomo Marcenaro. Tiene 13 al hacer su debut en el Teatro Colón de Bogotá y tres más cuando viaja a Boston dispuesto a perfeccionar la técnica en el Conservatorio de Nueva Inglaterra. Allí empieza a interesarse por el clave, entonces difundido por la gran Wanda Landowska, avanzadilla en la investigación de la música antigua pero todavía insatisfecha con la calidad de los instrumentos de época que se restauran. Por ello encarga a la fábrica de pianos francesa Pleyel que construya un clavecín, de curiosa estructura pianística y sonido punzantemente metálico, que inaugura en el festival Bach de Breslau en 1912. Ese instrumento le acompañaría en sus conciertos por todo el mundo llamando la atención de compositores como Francis Poulenc y Manuel de Falla que vieron posibilidades y al poco le dedican, respectivamente, el “Concierto para clave y cinco instrumentos” y el “Concierto campestre”.

  • Poulenc, Francis (1899-1963) by Mario Champagne
    Poulenc, Francis (1899-1963) by Mario Champagne Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Francis Poulenc with harpsichordist Wanda Landowska. One of the first openly gay composers, Francis Poulenc wrote concerti, chamber music, choral and vocal works, and operas. His diverse compositions are characterized by bright colors, strong rhythms, and novel harmonies. Although his early music is light, he ultimately became one of the most thoughtful composers of serious music in the twentieth century. Poulenc was born on January 7, 1899 into a well-off Parisian family. His father, a devout Roman Catholic, directed the pharmaceutical company that became Rhône-Poulenc; his mother, a free-thinker, was a talented amateur pianist. He began studying the piano at five and was following a promising path leading to admission to the Conservatoire that was cut short by the untimely death of his parents. Although he did not attend the Conservatoire he did study music and composition privately. At the death of his parents, Poulenc inherited Noizay, a country estate near his grandparents' home, which would be an important retreat for him as he gained fame. It was also the source of several men in his life, including his second lover, the bisexual Raymond Destouches, a chauffeur who was the dedicatee of the surrealistic opera Les mamelles de Tirésias (1944) and the World War II Resistance cantata La figure humaine (1943). From 1914 to 1917, Poulenc studied with the Spanish pianist Ricardo Viñes, through whom he met other musicians, especially Georges Auric, Erik Satie, and Manuel de Falla.
