This CJanuary and February, the BSO collaborates with Baltimore-based hip-hop artist, Wordsmith, who gives a fresh take on the timeless classic with his original narration. While classical repertoire is a relatively recent addition to Wordsmith’s vast entertainment portfolio, music has been a driving force in his life for many years. “I was always an avid music collector, saving my lunch money to buy new tapes weekly. And yeah, I said ‘tapes,’” he laughs. “Coming from an urban/hip-hop background, classical music hasn’t been prevalent in my life, so this is truly a special experience.” American poet Ogden Nash was the first to compose verses for Carnival back in 1949. These served as the starting point for Wordsmith when he set out to tackle his own interpretation. “My goal from there was to create an original narrative that included hip-hop elements, like varying cadences, syllable smashing and poetical flows while remaining clever, funny and metaphoric throughout the movements,” says Wordsmith. “The last step for me was making sure my words could be expressed through action as well; I like to entertain on stage, so I plan to add some nice movements to drive home the narrative even more.” So what can the audience expect from the finished product? “Beautiful music, comedic undertones, witty wordplay and a new experience we can all be proud of!” 4 WORK OF ART BSO and BMA join forces TEMPO for “Impressionist Masterworks” rtistic periods come and go over time, as do the characteristics that define them. Large movements A like Classicism or Romanticism can shape the trajectory of artwork for decades or even centuries, but the ways in which the various elements of those styles manifest in different mediums isn’t always consistent. Central to the BSO’s current season is the examination of how music interacts with and is affected by other artistic disciplines like literature, visual art and dance. As part of this project, the BSO partnered closely with the Baltimore Museum of Art to develop January’s “Impressionist Masterworks” concerts, part of the Off The Cuff series. In these performances, Music Director Marin Alsop and the BSO explore the influence that visual art had on Debussy and Ravel.

June 14, 2007 – XM, the nation’s leading satellite radio service with more than 8 million subscribers, and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) announced today that XM will broadcast eight performances during the Baltimore Symphony’s 2007-2008 season on XM Classics (XM 110), one of XM’s three classical music channels.

  • A Pedagogical Analysis and Performance of Selected Compositions for Piano by Vincent Persichetti
    A PEDAGOGICAL ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED COMPOSITIONS FOR PIANO BY VINCENT PERSICHETTI By Copyright 2016 Chi Kit Lam Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Jack Winerock ________________________________ Dr. Scott McBride Smith ________________________________ Dr. Michael Kirkendoll ________________________________ Prof. Scott Murphy ________________________________ Dr. Alfred Tat-Kei Ho Date defended: May 11, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Chi Kit Lam certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: A PEDAGOGICAL ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED COMPOSITIONS FOR PIANO BY VINCENT PERSICHETTI ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Jack Winerock Date approved: May 11, 2016 ii ABSTRACT Vincent Persichetti composed in a wide range of contemporary musical idioms. He incorporated twentieth-century harmonies into traditional forms and into classical piano writing. This paper seeks to emphasize the advantages of his music for piano pedagogy. Chapter Two concentrates on the composer’s life, compositional style, contribution and rewards, and it includes a short list of piano compositions. Chapter Three examines and analyzes four selected pieces by Persichetti: Little Piano Book, Piano Sonata No. 9, Poems for Piano No. 2 “Soft is the Collied Night,” and Four Arabesques, Op. 141, No. 1 Affabile. The Poem, the Arabesque, and the miniatures in Little Piano Book are smaller pieces, intended for amateur and intermediate pianists. The Ninth Sonata is a more substantial composition for advanced pianists. These pieces provide a broad image of Persichetti’s piano compositions. This study of selected works by Persichetti shows that his music is excellent pedagogical material for piano students as well as outstanding music to be performed in the concert hall.
