André Watts soloed at Yannick’s Philadelphia Orchestra debut in 2008; he celebrates the 10th anniversary with Grieg’s stirring Piano Concerto. With the Metropolitan Opera giving the U.S. premiere of Nico Muhly’s sensational opera Marnie, based on Winston Graham’s book and Alfred Hitchcock’s film, we present the world premiere of the companion orchestral suite, Liar (a Philadelphia Orchestra commission). It’s the first of many fruits of Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s upcoming dual role leading both the Fabulous Philadelphians AND the Met. Rachmaninoff wrote his final work, the Symphonic Dances, specifically for The Philadelphia Orchestra. Here’s another chance to hear the special Philadelphia Sound of the Yannick era! These concerts will be LiveNote® enabled. August 2018—All programs and artists subject to change.

The first highlights Scandinavia: Sibelius’s Seventh Symphony was a U.S. premiere for the Orchestra with Leopold Stokowski, long a champion of the Finnish master’s works. And you may not be familiar with Sweden’s Franz Berwald, but his beautiful Third Symphony, composed in 1845, makes a compelling pair with the Sibelius. The following week, Lisa reprises the Tchaikovsky Concerto, bookended by the Liar Suite from Nico Muhly’s opera Marnie and Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, the composer’s final piece, written expressly for The Philadelphia Orchestra. These concerts will be LiveNote enabled. August 2018—All programs and artists subject to change.

  • Music K-8 Marketplace 2021 Spring Update Catalog
    A Brand New Resource For Your Music Classroom! GAMES & GROOVES FOR BUCKET BAND, RHYTHM STICKS, AND LOTS OF JOYOUS INSTRUMENTS by John Riggio and Paul Jennings Over the last few years, bucket bands have grown greatly in popularity. Percussion is an ideal way to teach rhythmic concepts and this low-cost percussion ensemble is a great way to feel the joy of group performance without breaking your budget. This unique new product by John Riggio and Paul Jennings is designed for players just beyond beginners, though some or all players can easily adapt the included parts. Unlike some bucket band music, this is written with just one bucket part, intended to be performed on a small to medium-size bucket. If your ensemble has large/bass buckets, they can either play the written part or devise a more bass-like part to add. Every selection features rhythm sticks, though the tracks are designed to work with just buckets, or any combination of the parts provided. These change from tune to tune and include Boomwhackers®, ukulele, cowbell, shaker, guiro, and more. There are two basic types of tunes here, games and game-like tunes, and grooves. The games each stand on their own, and the grooves are short, repetitive, and fun to play, with many repeats. Some songs have multiple tempos to ease learning. And, as you may have learned with other music from Plank Road Publishing and MUSIC K-8, we encourage and permit you to adapt all music to best serve your needs. This unique collection includes: • Grizzly Bear Groove • Buckets Are Forever (A Secret Agent Groove) • Grape Jelly Groove • Divide & Echo • Build-A-Beat • Rhythm Roundabout ...and more! These tracks were produced by John Riggio, who brings you many of Plank Road’s most popular works.

  • July 26, 2013 Bugs Bunny and the NSO Come to Wolf Trap
    July 26, 2013 Bugs Bunny and the NSO come to Wolf Trap By Roger Catlin For a generation of Americans, the earliest love of classical music came not through shared family symphony experiences or early childhood music appreciation classes, but through mayhem-laced TV cartoons, often involving a bunny in drag. Walt Disney may have taken the high road to classical music interpretation through some early Silly Symphony cartoons and “Fantasia” (which in its first run was a flop). But it was Warner Bros. and particularly the animators behind Bugs Bunny who may have been the most successful in drumming key classical passages into the heads of impressionable audiences when the studio’s theatrical cartoons of the 1940s and ’50s were incessantly replayed on TV in the ’60s. Warner Bros. - Still image from the 1950's Merrie Melodies short, “What's Opera, Doc?” Even today, the most serious gray-haired music lover, sitting in the world’s most august concert halls, may be listening to the timeless refrains of Rossini or Wagner only to have the phrase “Kill the Wabbit!” come to mind. Conductor George Daugherty has embraced this meld of classical knowledge and pop-culture conditioning and celebrates it in his “Bugs Bunny at the Symphony.” Its first tour, in 1990, was such a success that it spawned, as most successes in Hollywood do, a sequel. “Bugs Bunny at the Symphony II” comes to Wolf Trap on Thursday and Friday, with Daugherty conducting the National Symphony Orchestra. In its honor, we pause to hail the greatest uses of classical music by Warner Bros.

  • Kill the Wabbit!« – Richard Wagner Im Hollywood-Cartoon Carsten Gerwin (Bielefeld)
    »Kill the Wabbit!« – Richard Wagner im Hollywood-Cartoon Carsten Gerwin (Bielefeld) I. Einleitung Die Musik Richard Wagners ist im Hollywood-Cartoon ein nicht gerade selten anzutreffender Gast. Besonders Chuck Jones´ berühmter Warner- Bros.-Cartoon WHAT'S OPERA, DOC? aus dem Jahr 1957, in dem Wagnersche Musik aus fünf1 verschiedenen Bühnenwerken Verwendung findet, ist hier hervorzuheben. Viel ist bereits über diesen Cartoon, v. a. in Beiträgen der US-amerikanischen Forschung, geschrieben worden. Die Begründung der zitierten Musikausschnitte fällt aber zumeist einseitig und recht vage aus. Die Popularität der Beispiele sowie deren wechselvolle Rezeptionsgeschichte sind weder die einzigen, noch die schlüssigsten Kriterien für die Musikauswahl, zumal einige der zitierten Melodien und Motive in WHAT'S OPERA, DOC? Nicht-Wagnerianern unbekannt sein dürften. Dies gilt entsprechend auch für andere Cartoons. Mein methodischer Ansatz ist es, den ursprünglichen Kontext der Musikbeispiele in die Deutung der Cartoonszenen einzubeziehen. Natürlich ist hierbei die Gefahr der Überinterpretation besonders groß, weshalb es wichtig ist, klare Deutungsgrenzen zu ziehen. Dazu werden im Folgenden die Arbeitsweisen des zuständigen Komponisten Milt Franklyn, sowie seines musikalischen Mentors und Kollegen Carl Stalling näher beleuchtet. 1 Die genaue Anzahl der verwendeten Werke Wagners in diesem Cartoon richtet sich danach, ob die vier großen Bestandteile der Ring-Tetralogie, die gleiche Leitmotive enthalten, einzeln gezählt werden. Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 11, 2014 // 78 II. Zur Rolle der Musik in WHAT'S OPERA, DOC? Wer zum ersten Mal bewusst Cartoonmusiken von Carl Stalling oder Milt Franklyn hört, mag über die Vielzahl musikalischer Zitate verwundert sein. Den Warner-Studios gehörte in den 1930er Jahren ein eigener Musikverlag und so konnten sie über die Verwendung der dort publizierten Musik frei verfügen.

  • Classical Music in Carl Stalling's Cartoon Scores
    BUGS BUNNY RIDES AGAIN: CLASSICAL MUSIC IN CARL STALLING’S CARTOON SCORES by PAUL MILLER (Under the Direction of Susan Thomas) ABSTRACT Carl Stalling’s musical soundtracks for the mid-20th century Warner Brothers cartoons included frequent quotations from classical composers, including Rossini, Beethoven and Wagner, acquiring a reputation as an informal kind of introductory musical education. Chapter 1 is a general introduction and brief review of some of the recent literature on film and cartoon music. Chapter 2 is a brief historical summary of the use of classical music for film from the days of live accompaniment to silent films through the first decades of recorded synchronous sound films. Chapter 3 examines the musical structure of the soundtrack to the 1948 cartoon Bugs Bunny Rides Again to see how Carl Stalling integrated classical music into his scores. Chapter 4 looks at the broad cultural context of the cartoons at the time of their production and their subsequent reputation as musical education in the decades that followed. Chapter 5 presents some conclusions.
