The Approaching Storm,A Little Saturday Morning Pick-Me-Up The Approaching Storm A Violin in the Hands of a true artist approaches musical perfection I’ve written before about the violin-playing Goddess that is Vanessa Mae. In this post, I’m writing about her again, and about one of her many violin pieces that is also a good match for these times and the approaching storm. I’ve followed Vanessa Mae since the late 1990s, after seeing her on a Grammy awards with one of her then-new albums. Her violin music has only gotten better since. So in keeping with these interesting times I present one of her many excellent music videos, this one of her piece “Storm.” Vanessa Mae in her Official Music Video “Storm” One of the things I admire about her music is the energy she puts into her work, making even the most difficult pieces look easy.

This and That, September Edition : Catching up on the times. A Little Saturday Morning Pick-Me-Up Music Inside I’ve posted about this Chinese Violin-playing Goddess before, and see that it’s time for me to post again. Vanessa Mae has been one of my favorite musicians ever since I watched her play in a Grammy Awards show back in the late 1990s. She is an ethnic Chinese woman who grew up in Singapore, and was identified as a music prodigy at a very young age. From the ever-wonderful Wikipedia: “Vanessa-Mae was born on 27 October 1978 in Singapore, to a Singaporean mother Pamela Soei Luang Tan and Thai father Vorapong Vanakorn. After adoption by a British father, she moved to London at the age of 4 where she began playing the violin, having already started the piano in Singapore. At the age of eight Mae embarked upon an intensive period of study with Professor Lin Yao Ji at the National Conservatoire of Music in Beijing. Vanessa-Mae returned to London and entered London’s Royal College of Music. Wikipedia Entry – Vanessa Mae At age thirteen, Vanessa-Mae became the youngest soloist to record both the Beethoven and Tchaikovsky violin concertos, according to Guinness World Records […]” There’s a lot more about her. She’s also an Olympic-class skier. But Wait, There’s More! What I really want to share on this quiet October morning is one of my favorite Vanessa Mae music videos. Again from the Wikipedia: The Violin Sonata in G minor, more familiarly known as the Devil’s Trill Sonata (Italian: Il trillo del diavolo), is a work for solo violin (with figured bass accompaniment) by Giuseppe Tartini (1692–1770). It is the composer’s best- known composition, notable for its technically difficult passages. A typical performance lasts 15 minutes. Wikipedia – Violin Sonata in G Minor Vanessa Mae, of course, plays this difficult piece while obviously having fun at it. So, with no further ado, here is Vanessa Mae playing “The Devil’s Trill Sonata.” YouTube Video: Vanessa Mae The Devil’s Trill Official Video Snow Falls In Virginia Music Inside Today I’m watching the first snowfall of this season, and coincidentally the first snow of 2017. At least here in Northern Virginia. As luck would have it, today is a Saturday, so I’ve avoided the Mad Max-like horrors of traveling out on our snowy highways. On the flip side, I’m stuck in the house all day and cabin fever strikes quickly. We’re presently up to about one-half inch, and with any luck, we’ll have Washington, D.C. shut down for a week. On this cold, snowy day, we need a little something to warm the place up. Something like, Vanessa Mae playing something really hot. With ice. Okay, just about everything Vanessa Mae does is pretty hot, but some things are hotter than others. So, how about a music video clip of Vanessa Mae in “The Devil’s Trill.” On a snow-related question; Every time we get a snow storm everyone runs out and buys up melting salt and snow shovels. Now, I get the melting salt, but, snow shovels? What the hell did everyone do with the shovels from the last year? A question to ponder… Related Posts This and That, Deep Freeze Edition : Catching up on a winter’s day.

A Snowed-in Saturday Morning Multi-cultural Music Fun Music Inside It’s early Saturday morning here in our nation’s capital, and we’re having the storm of the century. It started snowing early last night and it’s still snowing this morning even as I write. Judging by the snow piled up on the picnic table, visible just outside our basement door, we already have at least six inches and more to come. So, what to do on a snowed-in Saturday morning? How about a little multi-cultural music fun? From the Wikipedia: Vanessa-Mae (in Chinese: 陳美, Chén Měi) was born in Singapore to a Thai father (Varaprong Vanakorn) and a Chinese mother (Pamela Tan). After her parents separated, her mother married Briton Graham Nicholson, and the family moved to England when Vanessa-Mae was four years old. She grew up in London and is a British citizen. She was educated at the independent Francis Holland School in London. She is an internationally known British pop and classical musician, especially noted for her violin skills. Her music style is self-described as “violin techno-acoustic fusion”, as several of her albums prominently feature the techno style. On entering adolescence Vanessa-Mae broke away from her traditional classical influences and became known for her flashy, sexual style appearing in music videos in stylish outfits. Her first pop-style album, The Violin Player, was released in 1995. She appeared on the 1997 Janet Jackson album The Velvet Rope playing a violin solo on the song “Velvet Rope”. She is truly a world-class musician. But, she doesn’t just do that elitist high-nosed classical stuff. She plays real music also. And here to prove it, I offer a YouTube music video of Vanessa-Mae playing the all-time American Redneck classic “Cotton-Eye Joe.” Just a little something to cheer you up on this snowed-in Saturday morning.

    PERFORMANCE-PRACTICE ISSUES IN BARTÓK‘S SONATA FOR SOLO VIOLIN (1944) by OLIVER YATSUGAFU (Under the Direction of Levon Ambartsumian and David Haas) ABSTRACT The Sonata for Solo Violin was composed by Béla Bartók in 1944 as a commission by the American violinist Yehudi Menuhin. The piece represents one of Bartók‘s last works. This Solo Sonata is a four-movement work with the following movements: ―Tempo di ciaccona,‖ ―Fuga,‖ ―Melodia,‖ and ―Presto.‖ The entire piece is approximately twenty minutes in length. The Solo Sonata stands as one of the most important 20th-century compositions for solo violin. The author has investigated the circumstances in which the Solo Sonata was created and its performance-practice issues. Therefore, this dissertation discusses Bartók‘s life and work in the United States of America, his encounter with Yehudi Menuhin, and the compositional history, performances, and reviews of the Solo Sonata. In addition, this document analyses briefly the form, style, and performance-practice challenges of each movement, appointing possible solutions. INDEX WORDS: Béla Bartók, Sonata for Solo Violin, violin performance-practice issues, repertoire for solo violin, revisions, Solo Sonata creation, Solo Sonata form and style, Yehudi Menuhin, Rudolf Kolisch.

  • Classical Gas Recordings and Releases Releases of “Classical Gas” by Mason Williams
    MasonMason WilliamsWilliams Full Biography with Awards, Discography, Books & Television Script Writing Releases of Classical Gas Updated February 2005 Page 1 Biography Mason Williams, Grammy Award-winning composer of the instrumental “Classical Gas” and Emmy Award-winning writer for “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,” has been a dynamic force in music and television circle since the 1960s. Born in Abilene, Texas in 1938, Williams spent his youth divided between living with his 1938 father in Oklahoma and his mother in Oregon. His interest in music began when, as a teenager, he to 1956 became a fan of pop songs on the radio and sang along with them for his own enjoyment. In high Oklahoma school, he sang in the choir and formed his first group, an a capella quartet that did the 1950’s City style pop and rock & roll music of the era. They called themselves The Imperials and The to L.A. Lamplighters. The other group members were Diana Allen, Irving Faught and Larry War- ren. After Williams was graduated from Northwest Classen High School in Oklahoma City in 1956, he and his lifelong friend, artist Edward Ruscha, drove to Los Angeles. There, Williams attended Los Angeles City College as a math major, working toward a career as an insurance actuary. But he spent almost as much time attending musical events, especially jazz clubs and concerts, as he did studying. This cultural experience led him to drop math and seek a career in music. Williams moved back to Oklahoma City in 1957 to pursue his interest in music by taking a crash course in piano for the summer.

  • Music for These Times,Bringing in the New Year of 2018,Merry
    Music For These Times Music Inside So the world is on fire right now. Stock markets are collapsing, a pandemic is raging across the globe, a buffoon is occupying the role of “Leader of the Free World,” and our supermarkets are out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. But things could be worse – we could be in a Groundhog Day time loop living the same day over and over again. So we need some music for these times. Billy Joel has long been one of my favorite musicians and a personal hero. He grew up in Hicksville, Long Island, New York, just about six miles from my hometown of Farmingdale and seven years ahead of me. I’ve always seen him as a hometown boy who did good. So in keeping with music for these times, I offer his awesome hit “We Didn’t Start The Fire,” complete with historically accurate images. Billy Joel – “We Didn’t Start The Fire” Just remember; we could be living this same day over and over again until we get it right. Related Posts A New American!

The course takes normal students three years to complete, but Vanessa finished it in six months. While she was studying in Beijing, she visited some interesting places like the Great Wall of China and the Emperor’s Palace. She remembers that the Chinese she met were very surprised that she couldn’t speak a word Chinese. Vanessa began performing when she was ten years old, and at 11 she entered the Royal Academy of Music. While she was studying there she played with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and went on tour with the London Mozart Players.

  • It's a Balancing Act. That's the Secret to Making This Music Fit in Today
    “It’s a balancing act. That’s the secret to making this music fit in today”: Negotiating Professional and Vernacular Boundaries in the Cape Breton Fiddling Tradition by Ian Hayes A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Music Memorial University of Newfoundland January 2015 St. John’s, Newfoundland Abstract Originating from the music of early Gaelic immigrants, Cape Breton fiddling has been a thriving musical tradition for more than two hundred years. It eventually rose to prominence in the 1990s, receiving international recognition in the music industry. As the “Celtic boom” faded and major record labels lost interest in the tradition commercially, Cape Breton traditional musicians continued to maintain a presence in the music industry, though their careers now enjoy more modest success. All the while, Cape Breton fiddling has remained a healthy, vibrant tradition on the local level, where even the most commercially successful musicians have remained closely tied to their roots. This thesis examines how Cape Breton traditional musicians negotiate and express their musical identities in professional and vernacular contexts. As both professional musicians and tradition bearers, they are fixtures in popular culture, as well as the local music scene, placing them at an intersection between global and local culture. While seemingly fairly homogenous, Cape Breton fiddling is rich and varied tradition, and musicians relate to it in myriad ways. This plurality and intersubjectivity of what is considered to be “legitimate” culture is evident as the boundaries of tradition are drawn and change according to context.
