    MUSIC & NIGHTLIFE | Posted on Fri, Jan. 31, 2014 | Article Page 1 of 2 Galicia’s Carlos Nuñez, ‘the Jimi Hendrix of the bagpipes,’ plays here Wednesday By Fernando Gonzalez | Special to the Miami Herald Carlos Nuñez is far more than “the Jimi Hendrix of the bagpipes,” or the “the seventh Chieftain,” an honorary member of the legendary traditional Irish band. But if you happen to be the modern master of the gaita, the bagpipe of Galicia, a region in the northwest corner of Spain, maybe such barker’s calls help make new audiences stop and look. The truth is richer. Nuñez is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist. (He also plays flute, recorder, whistles and a number of traditional instruments.) And he is both a traditionalist and an innovator, playing a key role in preserving the gaita, an instrument that is a symbol of Galician culture yet was once fading to extinction. His collaborations speak to the universality of this instrument and the possibilities for its future. Over the years Nuñez has collaborated with The Carlos Nuñez plays the gaita, the bagpipe of Galicia. Chieftains, Ry Cooder, Compay Segundo, Mike Scott of The Waterboys and Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto as well as flamenco guitarists and Sufi singers from Tangier. His 1996 debut recording, A Irmandade Das Estrelas (The Brotherhood of Stars), an improbable platinum seller in Spain, featured more than 50 guests. “Collaborations are my modus operandi,” says Nuñez who begins his new North American tour at the Coral Gables Congregational Church on Wednesday night. “It´s a philosophy that comes from traditional music — especially Celtic music.

  • SYRIAN CULTURAL CARAVAN Art, the Universal Language
    Marseille, juillet 2014 SYRIAN CULTURAL CARAVAN Art, the universal language THE PROJECT’S BIRTH The Syrian Cultural Caravan, entitled ‘Freedom for the Syran People, was born in 2014 at the initiative of Syrian intellectuals supported by a group of Syrian-European associations. Its goal is to promote Syrian civil society and contemporary Syrian art and culture. In March 2011, after half a century of totalitarian rule and forty years of the Assad’s clan dictatorship, the Syrian people took to the streets demanding their freedom and dignity. The regime responded with weapons, but the response came in different ways: the pen, the spoken word, the brush, and the chisel. It is this creativity in the face of constant repression that the Syrian Cultural Caravan aims to sustain. The caravan carries the work of young Syrian artists and shows them to the world with the desire to communicate their message through the universal language of art, literature, video, music and poetry. THE INITIAL STEPS SUStaINABILIty OF THE In the summer of 2014 the Syrian Cultural Caravan made its debut on 12 July at Place PROJECT du Maréchal Joffre (Paris 7e) and in front of the Wall For Peace. From there on, there The first trip of the Syrian Cultural Caravan in have been art exhibitions, film screenings, poetry readings in Arabic and French, street the summer of 2014 our organisers noted that theatre performances, choreography and modern dance, political debates, and musical every meeting had positive exchanges that led concerts. The majority of these activities took place outdoors, and were very warmly and to setting up new activities.

  • Johann Sebastian Bach: Dazu Ist Erschienen Der Sohn Gottes – BWV 40 Allegorical Symbolism and Rhetorical Devices
    Johann Sebastian Bach: Dazu ist erschienen der Sohn Gottes – BWV 40 While most commentators observe the military aspects present in the cantata’s text, a great deal of the commentary overlooks or is unaware of the important element of rhetoric (“musical speech”) in the Baroque, especially the use of the horn and its connection to classical Roman motifs. I’m focusing the discussion on that subject for this week, and specifically for the opening chorus for this cantata; I believe that for Bach and his peers, the use of the horn in Christmas cantatas was a rhetorical device to conjure images of Roman triumphal processions: the triumph of Caesar marching into Rome, with Jesus Christ as the new victor, having conquered Satan. Allegorical symbolism and rhetorical devices Philip Pickett’s research into Baroque notions of rhetoric and its background in allegorical drama and court spectacle is vitally important, and I’ll do my best to give a summary of his theory, with extensive quotes from his notes to the Brandenburg Concertos. During the Baroque, composers saw music as a form of speech, and compositions were seen as musical conversations. Using classical authors such as Quintilian and Cicero, the five elements of rhetoric were applied to music: inventio and dispositio were applied to musical composition: elocutio, memoria and actio were applied to musical performances. Using his poetic text as a launch point (the loci topic), Philip Pickett a composer would use nuggets of musical inspiration which could be expanded into a complete movement or even composition of several movements. This composition could then be understood as a sophisticated speech.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>4 GREAT BRITAIN: digital, 1979-2008 In the early 1970s the advent of Anthony Rooley, the Consort of Musicke, Emma Kirkby, Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music brought a fresh look at repertoire from Dowland to Purcell, Handel, Mozart and eventually Beethoven. Solti recorded with the LPO from 1972 and the National Philharmonic was booked regularly from 1974-84. Also during the 1970s the London Sinfonietta’s surveys of Schönberg and Janá ček were recorded. Ashkenazy’s second career as a conductor centred initially on London, with the Philharmonia from 1977 and the RPO from 1987. Philip Pickett’s New London Consort joined the Florilegium roster in 1985 and Argo’s new look brought in a variety of ensembles in the 1990s. But after an LPO Vaughan Williams cycle was aborted in 1997, Decca’s own UK recordings comprised little more than piano music and recital discs. Outside London, Argo recorded regularly in Cambridge and Oxford. Decca engaged the Welsh National Opera from 1980-96 and the Bournemouth Symphony from 1990-96, but otherwise made little use of regional British orchestras. By the time they raised their performing standards to an acceptable level, Chandos, Hyperion and Naxos had largely replaced the old majors in the market for orchestral sessions. >RV0 VENUES One hundred and seventy different venues were used, eighty-eight in the London area and eighty-two elsewhere in Britain, but only one in ten (those in bold ) hosted thirty or more entries, whilst seventy were only visited once. LONDON AREA ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS , St.John’s Wood, London NW8 (1931), initially restricted to EMI labels, were opened to all from 1968.

    Paul Halsall Listening to Medieval Music©[ Author: Paul Halsall Title: Listening to Medieval Music Date: 1999: last revised 01/18/2000] _______________________________________________________________ In the summer of 1999, I made a concerted effort to get a better grasp of medieval music -- better that is, than that acquired by listening to the odd recording here and there. In this document, I outline the general development of music in proto-Western and Western cultures from the time of the earliest information until the beginning of the tonal era, around 1600. Since I am not a musicologist, this outline derives from reading in secondary sources [see bibliography at the end], information supplied with the better CDs and some online sources. Appreciation of almost all serious music is improved by some effort to understand its history and development -- and indeed until very recently any educated person would have had some music education. In the case of Ancient and Medieval music, such effort is essential to enjoyment of the music, unless appreciation is to go no further that a certain "new age" mood setting. For each major period, I list suggested CDs [and occasionally other types of media] which document or attempt to represent the music. These CDs are not the only ones available to illustrate the musical history of Western civilization, but they are however, the ones I have available. [Those marked with * are additional titles that I have not been able to assess personally.] For a much greater selection of available CDs see The Early Music FAQ [http://www.medieval.org/emfaq/], which provides general overviews, and lists of the contents of the vast majority of recordings of early music.
