George Bower was the high school music teacher leading the group, which he named the Wenatchee Civic Orchestra. It performed free concerts to sparse audiences. Wenatchee Valley College received a federal grant in 1968, which brought three professional artists to the college, one of whom was Broadcast Media - Video Production musician Dr. Malcolm Seagrave. The Wenatchee Valley College, led by President Dr. William Steward, hired Seagrave that year with the desire to have him lead a full symphony. An orchestra board of directors was selected and charged with managing and raising funds.

Among Lee’s concerts was the Mozart “Requiem” with the SKEETERBUGGINS.COM Central Washington University choir, the Columbia Chorale, and the college choir. One of the concerts that Lee conducted that year was a new piano concerto composed and played by Gordon Schuster, 9 who had written the composition while at Eastern Washington University. Dan Baldwin, director of the Central Washington University Symphony, succeeded Lee in 1994. Baldwin conducted the local group until 1997. The symphony had guest conductors until 1999, when Adam Flatt was selected. In 2000, Mel Strauss was hired as conductor. Strauss was head of Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts, and his experience and musical maturity were evident. Marty Zyskowski, from Eastern Washington University, led the symphony from 2004 through the 2009 season. Among the highlights of his tenure was the 60th anniversary season with a program that spanned the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods. Nikolas Caoile, Central Washington University symphony conductor, was among the guest conductors of the 2009-10 season.

    Aaron Copland: Famous American Composer, Copland Was Born in Brooklyn, New York, on November 14, 1900. the Child of Jewish Immig

    Aaron Copland: Famous American Composer, Copland was born in Brooklyn, New York, on November 14, 1900. The child of Jewish immigrants from Lithuania, he first learned to play the piano from his older sister. At the age of sixteen he went to Manhattan to study with Rubin Goldmark, a respected private music instructor who taught Copland the fundamentals of counterpoint and composition. During these early years he immersed himself in contemporary classical music by attending performances at the New York Symphony and Brooklyn Academy of Music. He found, however, that like many other young musicians, he was attracted to the classical history and musicians of Europe. So, at the age of twenty, he left New York for the Summer School of Music for American Students at Fountainebleau, France. In France, Copland found a musical community unlike any he had known. While in Europe, Copeland met many of the important artists of the time, including the famous composer Serge Koussevitsky. Koussevitsky requested that Copland write a piece for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The piece, “Symphony for Organ and Orchestra” (1925) was Copland‟s entry into the life of professional American music. He followed this with “Music for the Theater” (1925) and “Piano Concerto” (1926), both of which relied heavily on the jazz idioms of the time. For Copland, jazz was the first genuinely American major musical movement. From jazz he hoped to draw the inspiration for a new type of symphonic music, one that could distinguish itself from the music of Europe. In the late 1920s Copland‟s attention turned to popular music of other countries.

Master of Music (Theory), August, 1995, 86 pp., 22 examples, 5 figures, bibliography, 122 titles. This thesis presents an analysis of Copland's first major serial work, the Quartet for Piano and Strings (1950), using pitch-class set theory and tonal analytical techniques. The first chapter introduces Copland's Piano Quartet in its historical context and considers major influences on his compositional development. The second chapter takes up a pitch-class set approach to the work, emphasizing the role played by the eleven-tone row in determining salient pc sets. Chapter Three re-examines many of these same passages from the viewpoint of tonal referentiality, considering how Copland is able to evoke tonal gestures within a structural context governed by pc-set relationships. The fourth chapter will reflect on the dialectic that is played out in this work between pc-sets and tonal elements, and considers the strengths and weaknesses of various analytical approaches to the work.

  • What Handel Taught the Viennese About the Trombone

    What Handel Taught the Viennese About the Trombone

    291 What Handel Taught the Viennese about the Trombone David M. Guion Vienna became the musical capital of the world in the late eighteenth century, largely because its composers so successfully adapted and blended the best of the various national styles: German, Italian, French, and, yes, English. Handel’s oratorios were well known to the Viennese and very influential.1 His influence extended even to the way most of the greatest of them wrote trombone parts. It is well known that Viennese composers used the trombone extensively at a time when it was little used elsewhere in the world. While Fux, Caldara, and their contemporaries were using the trombone not only routinely to double the chorus in their liturgical music and sacred dramas, but also frequently as a solo instrument, composers elsewhere used it sparingly if at all. The trombone was virtually unknown in France. It had disappeared from German courts and was no longer automatically used by composers working in German towns. J.S. Bach used the trombone in only fifteen of his more than 200 extant cantatas. Trombonists were on the payroll of San Petronio in Bologna as late as 1729, apparently longer than in most major Italian churches, and in the town band (Concerto Palatino) until 1779. But they were available in England only between about 1738 and 1741. Handel called for them in Saul and Israel in Egypt. It is my contention that the influence of these two oratorios on Gluck and Haydn changed the way Viennese composers wrote trombone parts. Fux, Caldara, and the generations that followed used trombones only in church music and oratorios.

    My favourite film: Koyaanisqatsi By Leo Hickman December 13, 2011 It's a film without any characters, plot or narrative structure. And its title is notoriously hard to pronounce. What's not to love about Koyaanisqatsi? I came to Godfrey Reggio's 1982 masterpiece very late. It was actually during a Google search a few years back when looking for timelapse footage of urban traffic (for work rather than pleasure!) that I came across a "cult film", as some online reviewers were calling it. This meant I first watched it as all its loyal fans say not to: on DVD, on a small screen. If ever a film was destined for watching in a cinema, this is it. But, even without the luxury of full immersion, I was still truly captivated by it and, without any exaggeration, I still think about it every day. Koyaanisqatsi's formula is simple: combine the epic, remarkable cinematography of Ron Fricke with the swelling intensity and repeating motifs of Philip Glass's celebrated original score. There's your mood bomb, right there. But Reggio's directorial vision is key, too. He was the one who drove the project for six years on a small budget as he travelled with Fricke across the US in the mid-to-late 1970s, filming its natural and urban wonders with such originality. Koyaanisqatsi (1982) directed by Godfrey Reggio with music by Philip Glass. Photograph: Murdo Macleod for the Guardian Personally, I view the film as the quintessential environmental movie – a transformative meditation on the current imbalance between humans and the wider world that supports them (in the Hopi language, "Koyanaanis" means turmoil and "qatsi" means life).

Bulletin description: A seminar-style study of a single topic concerning music from Wagner to the present, usually focusing on some aspect of western art music but including consideration of influences from nonwestern and popular musics. Course may be repeated for credit, as long as topic is different. Topic description: According to Aaron Copland, “contemporary music as an organized movement in the U.S.A. was born at the end of the First World War” (Our New Music, 1941). Copland (1900-90) and Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-53) were among a group of Americans who strived to create independent and challenging approaches to composition in the 1920s. With the coming of the Great Depression in the 1930s and World War II, they transformed their work in accordance with the prevailing spirit of nationalism and populism. Copland composed his famous ballets and other accessible works drawing on materials of the Americas, and Seeger largely set aside composition in order to collect and preserve folk music and to devote her energies to music for children. The compositions of the staunch individualist Charles Ives (1874-1954) of the previous generation became known to a broad spectrum of musical America only beginning in the 1920s, and thus also formed a part of this emerging repertory of new music.
