Aausic Notes Chamber Guild to Play Music of Yugoslavia the Chamber Music Guild Will Present a Concert of Yugoslav Music on Tuesday at 8:15 P.M AAusic Notes Chamber Guild To Play Music Of Yugoslavia The Chamber Music Guild will present a concert of Yugoslav music on Tuesday at 8:15 p.m. in Almas Temple, located at 1315 K street N.W., in honor of the Am- bassador of Yugoslavia and Mme. Fotitch. Yugoslavia has a rich, musical tradition of its own. On all festive occasions throughout the country people express their emotions by dances and songs. In Serbia peasant bards for centuries have sung about national heroes, accompanying themselves on a one-stringed in- strument called the "guzla." Modem Yugoslav music,' finding a. rich source of inspiration in these ex- pressive and rhythmic folk melo- dies, has greatly developed in the last few decades and has attained European standards. On this program a selection irom some of the best-known Yugoslav composers will be played for the first time in Washington. Jascha Herzog, violinist, and Hellmuth Baerwald, well known pianist and accompanist, begin with a move- ment of the “Sonata Slav, Opus 5,” by Josip Slavenski. Mr. Slavenski, a professor at the Belgrade Music Academy, is a leader of the modern school which bases its music on folklore. His symphonic composi- tions are renowned in continental Fritz Kreisler, beloved violinist who returns in recital this Old "Skating, Lyme,” by John Pike, to be shown at the Arts Club beginning next Sunday.

Yet her equally wide influence on the world of music was largely unrecognized until 1992, when the late Carlton Lowenberg published his groundbreaking study Musicians Wrestle Everywhere: Emily Dickinson and Music (Fallen Leaf Press), an examination of Dickinson's involvement in the music of her time, and a "detailed inventory" of 1,615 musical settings of her poems. The result is a survey of an important segment of twentieth-century music. In the years since Lowenberg's inventory appeared, the number of Dickinson settings is estimated to have more than doubled, and a large number of them have been performed and recorded. One critic has described Dickinson as "the darling of modern composers."1 The intriguing question of why this should be so has been answered in many ways by composers and others.

  • Women of American Chamber Music
    WOMEN OF AMERICAN CHAMBER MUSIC Laena Grace Batchelder TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY Batchelder 1 2019 Boller Review: Journal of Undergraduate Research & Creativity PROLOGUE This section will explain how I chose this project, which combines my loves of chamber music and feminism. First, I came to the decision to put on a full chamber recital since playing in chamber groups is my favorite thing to do. Soon, my friends agreed to perform with me. My friends are all fellow TCU performance majors, with whom I had performed in various chamber groups during my time as an undergraduate. Next, I had to choose repertoire. At the time, I was learning about several American composers, including several women, in my Music History III class. I soon fell in love with Jennifer Higdon’s music. I already knew her orchestral piece, blue cathedral, and through my research, I discovered her gorgeous quartet, An Exaltation of Larks. I began to consider the idea of programming only American female composers. Before this project, I had been thinking about women’s issues even more than usual. I took a Sex, Gender, and Culture anthropology course the previous semester and went to the Women’s March in downtown Fort Worth in January 2018. My final decision to program only female composers came after I looked at my list of all the pieces I have ever played—solo, chamber, and orchestra. It had exactly one piece by a female composer—Amy Beach’s Romance. After learning about more and more talented female composers in music history classes, I was upset to discover that I had gone fourteen years without playing any of them.

  • Mary Haroey, Lady Dering of England
    The repertoire for this volume of First Solos is designed for the young singer. With many vocal collections today containing few songs by women, this is an essential addition for the voice teacher to help build a good and varied vocal repertoire for the young student, male or female. The songs were selected with the following elements in mind: rhythms that are simple and repetitive, vocal lines with arched phrases, short and legato phrases, supportive accompaniments, comfortable vocal range allowing the upper register, at times, to be incorporated into middle register, and straightforward texts. Mary Haroey, Lady Dering of England G629-7704)was encouraged by her husbandto studycomposition with HenryLawes (7596-1662), who publishedhis own songs,such as Phillis, Why ShouldWe Delay, in his booksof Ayres. Mary Harvey'sIn VainFaire Cloris You Design, a lyrical song of great popularity during her lifetime, was published in three separate collections by Lawes, and again later by John Playford. In her effort to write music to reflect the rhythmic speech patterns of the text, this song utilizes iambic meter in five- measure phrases. NOTE TO STUDENTS: Expand the sound on the long notes to emphasize the changing harmony in the piano. Notice the slight variation in melodic rhythm in different verses. The figured bass realization is indicated in smaller notation in this edition. A contemporary of Thomas Arne, Margflret Essex (1775-?)had a sophisticated musical background. Before her marriage, she probably worked as a music teacher or governess, as was the custom for single women at the turn of the 18th century. She wrote her songs with specific people in mind and had them privately published.

  • See It to Be It Art Songs by American Women Composers
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SEE IT TO BE IT ART SONGS BY AMERICAN WOMEN COMPOSERS Jennifer Piazza-Pick, Doctor of Musical Arts in Solo Voice, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Delores Ziegler, Professor of Voice and Martha Randall, Lecturer of Voice and Vocal Pedagogy, School of Music This dissertation is a short survey of art songs by American women composers from the latter part of the nineteenth century to the present. Interest in women composers is not new, yet equality has not been achieved. Concerts and recitals featuring women composers are often used as tokens to show that an organization is being inclusive. Instead, true inclusivity would regularly showcase male and female composers equally. The repertoire performed in these three recitals is not only appropriate for a professional singer but includes selections that can be sung by beginners and intermediate singers as well. The repertoire was carefully selected for texts and composition worthy of a place on any recital, regardless of difficulty. The goal was to contribute to the expansion and diversification of the standard vocal repertoire that is often assigned in university music programs. The first recital contains four important early America women composers: Amy Beach, Florence Price, Mary Howe, and Margaret Bonds. The second recital contained music by women in the twentieth century. Some of the women in this recital were born in the 1900s, but are still composing today, so repertoire was chosen that had been written in the twentieth century. Music written in the twenty-first century was the focus of the final recital. Singers begin their vocal study using art songs, yet the standard repertoire that is assigned is almost exclusively written by men.

  • Otto Luening: George Antheil Mary Howe
    OTTO LUENING: SYMPHONIC FANTASIA KENTUCKY RONDO The Vienna Orchestra F. Charles Adler, Conducting GEORGE ANTHEIL Serenade No. 1 for Strings The Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra Alfredo Antonini, Conducting MARY HOWE: STARS; SAND The Vienna Orchestra William Strickland, Conducting The ways and means of music are unlimited in fact, if not in what the academicians call theory, and the expressive range contained in this recording is a fair sample of the variety, hence vitality, that informs the polyglot American idiom. Consider first Otto Luening, who was born in Milwaukee on the fifteenth of June in 1900. Now, by the time a creative personality has become a household name he is normally subject to all the pigeonholing platitudes of annotative, patois — the usual prerequisite to artistic eminence being a stylistic trademark or at least a corpus evidencing certain aspects of specialization. Aside from a recent identification with the genesis of the tape recorder as a composing medium, Luening is a shining exception to this rule. In a lifetime of music-making he has embraced no doctrine, joined no school. And yet he is neither an eclectic nor an iconoclast. He simply practices what he has always preached, which is that a composer’s job is to provide “music for use.” This is not to say that Luening merely turns out Gebrauchsmusik for various instruments in short supply of repertory; his concept of the composer’s role in the social order is far more nearly complete: in the fulfillment of a commission, he considers not only the abilities and propensities of the performers but also the predictable tastes of the audience.

  • ABSTRACT the Music of Women Composers Often Comprises Only A
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: AMERICAN WOMEN COMPOSERS: SELECTED PUBLISHED WORKS FOR FLUTE AND PIANO AND FOR UNACCOMPANIED FLUTE COMPOSED BETWEEN 1930 AND 2008 Alicia Joyelle Kosack, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2010 Directed by: Dr. William L. Montgomery School of Music The music of women composers often comprises only a small percentage of flutists‘ repertoire, yet there are actually many active women composers, many of whom have written for the flute. The aim of this dissertation is to chronicle a selection of works by several American women composers that have contributed to accessible flute repertoire. For the purpose of this dissertation, accessibility is described by the following parameters: works that limit the use of extended techniques, works that are suitable for performers from high school through a reasonably advanced level, works that are likely to elicit emotionally musical communication from the performer to the listener, and works that are reasonably available through music stores or outlets on the Internet that have a fairly comprehensive reach to the general public. My subjective judgment also played a role in the final selection of the 25 works included as part of this dissertation, and performed on three musically well-balanced recitals. A variety of resources were consulted for the repertoire, including Boenke‘s Flute Music by Women Composers: An Annotated Catalog, and the catalogs of publishers such as Arsis Press and Hildegard Publishing, both of which specialize in the music of women composers. The works performed
