BOARD OF TRUSTEES CANTATA SINGERS COUNCIL David J. Cooper, Treasurer Robert Amory This year is also my inaugural season as Executive Director at Cantata Singers. During David Griesinger John and Diana Appleton my first few months at the helm, I had the opportunity to sit down with members of the Robert Henry David Berman Cantata Singers family and hear firsthand the stories of our history, impact, and values.

A local composer told me how Cantata Singers—through David’s work— Katie and Paul Buttenwieser Marcia Nizzari defined concert culture in our city, and raved that our performance of Stravinsky’s Les Dr. Edmund B. Cabot Dwight E. Porter Nancy and Laury Coolidge Noces was one of the best concerts he has ever attended. A well-known soloist spoke of Ann Ellen Rutherford Elizabeth D. Hodder our commitment to music and social justice through our Slavery Documents commissions, Daniel D.

Every music director is given the curatorial gift of searching for the threads three times and, before that, had often performed with the ensemble as a horn player. Under his and sometimes unexpected affinities, of throwing old chestnuts into fresh light, and of musical leadership, Cantata Singers has renewed its commitment to the music of J.S.

  • Rubinoff-Formatted Proceedings-8
    Sacre Celebration 2013 Rubinoff Frank Martin’s La nique à Satan: The Dalcroze Connection Daniel Rubinoff York University Abstract This presentation focuses on the creative affinity between Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865- 1950) and fellow Swiss composer Frank Martin (1890-1974). Early in his career, Martin forged close ties with Dalcroze’s Eurhythmics method, and in 1926, he enrolled in Dalcroze’s Geneva-based Institut Jaques-Dalcroze. He graduated with a Diplôme in 1928 and taught there as a professor of improvisation and rhythmic theory until 1937. During Martin’s tenure as professor of rhythmic theory and improvisation at Dalcroze’s Institut, he composed the score for La nique à Satan. Martin conceived of a popular theatre piece that included singing, mime, dance and elaborate costumes. He involved numerous Institut teachers and students in the Geneva première on February 25, 1933. Martin also dedicated the vocal/piano edition of the score to Dalcroze. This talk will explain how the songs in Martin’s composition resemble some of the prominent aspects of Dalcroze’s Eurhythmics method. The eurhythmic subjects of irregular beats, anacrusic rhythms, complementary rhythm and bodily gesture correspond with important aspects of Martin’s score. The presentation also includes footage from a 1998 performance of La nique à Satan by the Swiss ensemble, Choeur d’Avully. Introduction It’s a great pleasure to be a part of this group of papers that explores post-Rite artistic currents. My purpose today is to explore the connection between Émile Jaques-Dalcroze and fellow Swiss composer Frank Martin. I will discuss this connection in the context of Dalcroze’s eurhythmics method and its affinity with Martin’s theatrical piece, La nique à Satan.

SUZANNE KREITER/GLOBE STAFF David Hoose believes that, on its face, choral music can be difficult to love. It’s an unexpected sentiment from the conductor of Cantata Singers, one of the city’s most treasured ensembles, but Hoose has his reasons: The sound of a chorus doesn’t https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/02/18/arts/conductor-david-hoose-turns-toward-next-movement/ 1/10 2/18/2021 , Conductor David Hoose turns toward the next movement - The Boston Globe have as much coloristic glamour or layered complexity as the sound of an orchestra; at a choral concert, there is nothing to watch — no bows dancing in unison or percussion vividly struck; there are none of the dramatic plots or the costumes found in opera; and in many choral works, you can’t even understand the words well enough to appreciate the subtlety of their relationship to the music. He’s not wrong in any of these observations. And yet despite them all, Hoose himself, over the course of 38 seasons at the helm of Cantata Singers, has made the most persuasive case imaginable for choral music belonging not at the periphery but near the very center of a city’s musical identity.
