  • Leonard Slatkin at 70: the DSO's Music Director Was Born for The
    Leonard Slatkin at 70: The DSO’s music director was born for the podium By Lawrence B. Johnson Some bright young musicians know early on that they want to be a conductor. Leonard Slatkin, who turned 70 Slatkin at 70: on September 1, had a more specific vision. He believed himself born to be a music director. Greatest Hits “First off, it was pretty clear that I would go into conducting once I had the opportunity to actually lead an orchestra,” says Slatkin, music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra since 2008 and occupant of the same post with the Orchestre National de Lyon since 2011. “The study process suited my own ethic and, at least for me, I felt relatively comfortable with the technical part of the job.” “But perhaps more important, I knew that I would also be a music director. Mind you, this is a very different job from just getting on the podium and waving your arms. The decision making process and the ability to shape a single ensemble into a cohesive whole, including administration, somehow felt natural to me.” Slatkin arrived at the DSO with two directorships already under his belt – the Saint Louis Symphony (1979-96) and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C. (1996-2008) – and an earful of caution about the economically distressed city and the hard-pressed orchestra to which he was being lured. But it was a challenge that excited him. “Almost everyone warned me about the impending demise of the orchestra,” the conductor says. “A lot of people said that I should not take it.

  • AN ANALYSIS of “SEVEN LAST WORDS from the CROSS” (1993) by JAMES MACMILLAN by HERNHO PARK DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial
    AN ANALYSIS OF “SEVEN LAST WORDS FROM THE CROSS” (1993) BY JAMES MACMILLAN BY HERNHO PARK DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Choral Music in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Barrington Coleman, Chair Professor Carlos Carrillo, Director of Research Professor Michael Silvers Professor Fred Stoltzfus ABSTRACT James MacMillan is one of the most well-known and successful living composers as well as an internationally active conductor. His musical language is influenced by his Scottish heritage, the Catholic faith, and traditional Celtic folk music, blended with Scandinavian and European composers including Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992), Alfred Schnittke (1943-1998), and Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971). His cantata for choir and strings Seven Last Words from the Cross, was commissioned by BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) television, composed in 1993, and premiered in 1994 by Cappella Nova and the BT (British Telecom) Scottish Ensemble. While this piece is widely admired as one of his best achievements by choral conductors and choirs, it is rarely performed, perhaps due to its high level of difficulty for both the string players and singers. The purpose of this dissertation is to present an analysis of the Seven Last Words from the Cross by James MacMillan aimed to benefit choral conductors rather than audiences. Very little has been written about MacMillan's choral works. My hope is to establish a foundation on which future scholars may expand and explore other choral works by MacMillan.

  • The Trumpet As a Voice of Americana in the Americanist Music of Gershwin, Copland, and Bernstein
    THE TRUMPET AS A VOICE OF AMERICANA IN THE AMERICANIST MUSIC OF GERSHWIN, COPLAND, AND BERNSTEIN DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amanda Kriska Bekeny, M.M. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Timothy Leasure, Adviser Professor Charles Waddell _________________________ Dr. Margarita Ophee-Mazo Adviser School of Music ABSTRACT The turn of the century in American music was marked by a surge of composers writing music depicting an “American” character, via illustration of American scenes and reflections on Americans’ activities. In an effort to set American music apart from the mature and established European styles, American composers of the twentieth century wrote distinctive music reflecting the unique culture of their country. In particular, the trumpet is a prominent voice in this music. The purpose of this study is to identify the significance of the trumpet in the music of three renowned twentieth-century American composers. This document examines the “compositional” and “conceptual” Americanisms present in the music of George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, and Leonard Bernstein, focusing on the use of the trumpet as a voice depicting the compositional Americanisms of each composer. The versatility of its timbre allows the trumpet to stand out in a variety of contexts: it is heroic during lyrical, expressive passages; brilliant during festive, celebratory sections; and rhythmic during percussive statements. In addition, it is a lead jazz voice in much of this music. As a dominant voice in a variety of instances, the trumpet expresses the American character of each composer’s music.

  • Celebrating Slatkin Booklet FINAL
    Marie-Hélène Bernard St. Louis Symphony Orchestra President & CEO Dear Leonard, When you made your conducting debut with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in 1968, who could have imagined that we’d gather on the same stage 50 years later to celebrate a remarkable partnership – one that redefined what an American orchestra could – and continues – to be. What you built with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra starting 50 years ago remains core to our mission. It’s the solid bedrock we’ve been building on for the past five decades: enriching lives through the power of music. Your years with the SLSO reshaped this orchestra, earning it the title of “America’s Orchestra.” You connected with our community – both here in St. Louis and on national and international stages. By taking this orchestra on the road, you introduced the SLSO and St. Louis to the world. You recorded with this orchestra more than any other SLSO music director, championing American composers and music of our time. Your passion for music education led to your founding of the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra, which is the premiere experience for young musicians across our region. Next year, we will mark the Youth Orchestra’s golden anniversary and the thousands of lives it has impacted. We admire you for your remarkable spirit and talent and for your amazing vision and leadership. We are thrilled you have returned home to St. Louis and look forward to many years sharing special moments together. On behalf of the entire St. Louis Symphony Orchestra family, congratulations on the 50th anniversary of your SLSO debut.

  • Jean Langlais Remembered: Chapter-9
    The Upheavals of the Sixties ! ! ! CHAPTER 9 The$Upheavals$of$the$Sixties$ Jean Langlais’s mature years should have unfolded smoothly as his fame increased, but it was not to be. A major upheaval would rock the Roman Catholic Church, a budding ecumenical movement would gain momentum, and the world of French organists would split along fault lines between proponents of Baroque, Romantic, and contemporary music. Jean Langlais suddenly found himself doing battle on multiple fronts, under attack from the liturgical consequences of Vatican II on the one hand, and confronting new ideas from younger colleagues on the other. In spite of the resulting tumult, he would continue to advance his career as a brilliant recitalist and teacher, attracting a growing number of foreign organ students along the way. The Second Vatican Council: Jean Langlais confronts the evolution of the Roman Catholic liturgy We arrive at what proved to be one of the saddest moments in the life of Jean Langlais. For some time he had been considered a specialist of the highest order in the domain of Roman Catholic sacred music, most notably since 1954-1955 and the success of his Missa Salve Regina. The Second Vatican Council, particularly as interpreted by certain French liturgists, now stood poised to completely disrupt the happy order of his life as a composer. His six choral masses in Latin, a Passion, and numerous motets and cantatas notwithstanding, Langlais initially reacted with enthusiasm to the Church’s new directives concerning religious music, composing many simple works in French that were directly accessible to the faithful.
