A Listening Guide for the Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini
A Listening Guide for The Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini 1 The Indispensable Composers: A Personal Guide Anthony Tommasini A listening guide INTRODUCTION: The Greatness Complex Bach, Mass in B Minor I: Kyrie I begin the book with my recollection of being about thirteen and putting on a recording of Bach’s Mass in B Minor for the first time. I remember being immediately struck by the austere intensity of the opening choral singing of the word “Kyrie.” But I also remember feeling surprised by a melodic/harmonic shift in the opening moments that didn’t do what I thought it would. I guess I was already a musician wanting to know more, to know why the music was the way it was. Here’s the grave, stirring performance of the Kyrie from the 1952 recording I listened to, with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Though, as I grew to realize, it’s a very old-school approach to Bach. Herbert von Karajan, conductor; Vienna Philharmonic (12:17) Today I much prefer more vibrant and transparent accounts, like this great performance from Philippe Herreweghe’s 1996 recording with the chorus and orchestra of the Collegium Vocale, which is almost three minutes shorter. Philippe Herreweghe, conductor; Collegium Vocale Gent (9:29) Grieg, “Shepherd Boy” Arthur Rubinstein, piano Album: “Rubinstein Plays Grieg” (3:26) As a child I loved “Rubinstein Plays Grieg,” an album featuring the great pianist Arthur Rubinstein playing piano works by Grieg, including several selections from the composer’s volumes of short, imaginative “Lyrical Pieces.” My favorite was “The Shepherd Boy,” a wistful piece with an intense middle section.

THE PHILOSOPHY of STEVEN SODERBERGH the Philosophy of Popular Culture
THE PHILOSOPHY OF STEVEN SODERBERGH The Philosophy of Popular Culture Th e books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will illuminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popular culture. Th e goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the intersection of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. Th is series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and examine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture. Series Editor Mark T. Conard, Marymount Manhattan College, NY Books in the Series Th e Philosophy of Stanley Kubrick, edited by Jerold J. Abrams Football and Philosophy, edited by Michael W.

Reconsidering the Nineteenth-Century Potpourri: Johann Nepomuk Hummel’S Op
Reconsidering the Nineteenth-Century Potpourri: Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s Op. 94 for Viola and Orchestra A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2018 by Fan Yang B. M., Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, 2008 M. M., Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, 2010 D. M. A. Candidacy, University of Cincinnati, 2013 Abstract The Potpourri for Viola and Orchestra, Op. 94 by Johann Nepomuk Hummel is available in a heavily abridged edition, entitled Fantasy, which causes confusions and problems. To clarify this misperception and help performers choose between the two versions, this document identifies the timeline and sources that exist for Hummel’s Op. 94 and compares the two versions of this work, focusing on material from the Potpourri missing in the Fantasy, to determine in what ways it contributes to the original work. In addition, by examining historical definitions and composed examples of the genre as well as philosophical ideas about the faithfulness to a work—namely, idea of the early nineteenth-century work concept, Werktreue—as well as counter arguments, this research aims to rationalize the choice to perform the Fantasy or Potpourri according to varied situations and purposes, or even to suggest adopting or adapting the Potpourri into a new version. Consequently, a final goal is to spur a reconsideration of the potpourri genre, and encourage performers and audiences alike to include it in their learning and programming.

As the short fi lm begins, the bottle is now fl ying over an empty and eerie landscape, while high-pitched electronic sound effects accompany its trajectory. In the distance stays the silhouette of a landed space vehicle, with a shape not far from that of the command module of the Apollo Moon missions. The bottle seems to have come from there; with a loud thud, it plunges into the ground and leans to the left. Being very close to the point of view, it almost fi lls the screen transversally. It still contains a few drops of Coca-Cola. The spaceship takes off with a roar: the light from its engines outlines the profi le of the bottle. When the sound of the spaceship wanes away, the music of the Bol é ro slowly fades in.

Gorgeous with a Side of Desire
GORGEOUS WITH A SIDE OF DESIRE J.D. BLACKROSE 1 melia placed her hands on her hips and gave Lissa the beady eyeball. "You're thinking about Mike again, A aren't you? You could have anybody if you put your‐ self out there, but you squirrel yourself away in a corner office. There has to be more to life than work and your cat." "And my dad." "And your father," Amelia conceded. "But I don't understand why you're hiding. You're beautiful and smart. You're the head of Fall City Hospital's entire Communications and Public Relations department, and a confident, professional woman, but one man looks at your big blue eyes and lovely blonde hair with interest and you flinch. Why?" “You forget that love fades quickly, Amelia.” She kept her voice mild. "Bullshit, if you'll pardon my bluntness. Mike left to pursue his passion, and he was always honest with you about that. He’s embedded in some military unit reporting under fire and that’s all he ever wanted. Besides, it would have been cruel to marry you and then take off for months and years as a combat reporter. You’d spend all your time worrying.” “You’re right, but…” “Arizona.” 1 J.D. BLACKROSE Lissa dropped her head to stare at her desk. “Arizona.” She and Mike had shared an experience in Arizona that she still couldn’t explain to this day, but she’d hoped that it had been enough to keep him stateside, with her. She’d been a fool.

Pre-concert conversations are sponsored by Washington University Physicians. 23 PROGRAM NOTES PAUL DUKAS Born October 1, 1865, Paris, France Died May 17, 1935, Paris, France The Sorcerer’s Apprentice If ever a piece of music was victim of its own success, it is surely Paul Dukas’ L’apprenti sorcier. Better known in this country as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (a slightly inaccurate English translation of its title; more precise would be “The Apprentice Sorcerer”), it scored an immediate success and established Dukas, who was not yet 32, as one of France’s important new composers. Dukas’ inspiration for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice was “Der Zauberlehring,” a ballad-like poem written in 1796 by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Goethe’s poem gives a first-person account of the misadventure that befalls a young man who has been taken on as an apprentice to an aged magician.
