  • Boston Early Music Festival Announces 2013 Festival
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 1, 2012 CONTACT: Kathleen Fay, Executive Director | Boston Early Music Festival 161 First Street, Suite 202 | Cambridge, MA 02142 617-661-1812 | [email protected] | www.bemf.org BOSTON EARLY MUSIC FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 2013 FESTIVAL OPERATIC CENTERPIECE , HANDEL ’S ALMIRA Cambridge, MA – April 1, 2012 – The Boston Early Music Festival has announced plans for the 2013 Festival fully-staged Operatic Centerpiece Almira, the first opera by the celebrated and beloved Baroque composer, George Frideric Handel (1685–1759), in its first modern-day historically-conceived production. Written when he was only 19, Almira tells a story of intrigue and romance in the court of the Queen of Castile, in a dazzling parade of entertainment and delight which Handel would often borrow from during his later career. One of the world’s leading Handel scholars, Professor Ellen T. Harris of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), has said that BEMF is the “perfect and only” organization to take on Handel’s earliest operatic masterpiece, as it requires BEMF’s unique collection of artistic talents: the musical leadership, precision, and expertise of BEMF Artistic Directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs; the stimulating and informed stage direction and magnificent production designs of BEMF Stage Director in Residence Gilbert Blin; “the world’s finest continuo team, which you have”; the highly skilled BEMF Baroque Dance Ensemble to bring to life Almira ’s substantial dance sequences; the all-star BEMF Orchestra; and a wide range of superb voices. BEMF will offer five fully-staged performances of Handel’s Almira from June 9 to 16, 2013 at the Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College (219 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, USA), followed by three performances at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center (14 Castle Street, Great Barrington, MA, USA) on June 21, 22, and 23, 2013 ; all performances will be sung in German with English subtitles.

  • James Taylor: Making Music and Memories by John Fries
    Pittsburgh Boomers | August 2005 James Taylor: Making Music and Memories By John Fries If you went to high school during the 1970's, as I did, you'll recall a lot of really great music -- on the radio, in the school cafeteria at lunchtime, and on the eight track tapes you punched into your car dashboards at night while driving around. While the musical landscape offered something for everyone, much of it seemed to fall into two distinct categories: straight-ahead rock and top 40 pop. Here in Pittsburgh, we were either tuned to Trevor Ley playing Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd on 'DVE or listening to the "New Sound of 13Q," which played a wide and eclectic mix of whatever was in the top 40 at the time. The top hits of the day were listed each week in the pocket-sized "hit parades" KQV and 13Q published and provided for free in local record stores. The list could include any combination of rock, power pop, country, rhythm and blues, vocalists, the occasional novelty record, and that 70's radio staple known as the singer-songwriter. Remember them? The mellow music makers who played guitar or piano, wrote meaningful, introspective lyrics, and served up gentle melodies? The singer-songwriter sections of our 45 collections included titles by such artists as Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, Paul Simon and a West Coast band of country rock upstarts called the Eagles. Although they were - and are -- all great artists, James Taylor became the undisputed king of the genre.

    “Dal riso al Rosa” Incontro tra le Aree protette dell'Alto Piemonte PROGRAMMA CONVEGNO ASSOCIAZIONI FONDIARIE, UNO STRUMENTO PER RITORNARE A VIVERE I TERRITORI MONTANI. ESPERIENZE A CONFRONTO Sabato 15 dicembre 2018, ore 09.30 Centro Congressi Palazzo d’Adda – Varallo (VC) Combattere lo spopolamento di colline e montagne piemontesi, ricomponendo il puzzle delle proprietà terriere frammentate e dei campi abbandonati, attraverso la costituzione di libere associazioni fondiarie è l’obiettivo della legge regionale n. 21 del 2 novembre 2015 “Disposizioni per favorire la costituzione delle associazioni fondiarie e la valorizzazione dei terreni agricoli e forestali”. Senza interferire con il diritto di proprietà, che non viene meno, la legge sull'associazionismo fondiario intende rilanciare l’attività agro-forestale e pastorale, incentivare turismo e produzioni locali, gestire il territorio rurale abbandonato o sottoutilizzato in modo intelligente e produttivo rivitalizzando l’agricoltura di montagna attraverso la ricostituzione di aree con coltivazioni di prodotti legati alle tradizioni colturali locali ed economicamente sostenibili e quindi facilitare la costituzione e il consolidamento di imprese agricole e zootecniche, garantire la conservazione del paesaggio e della biodiversità, nonché ridurre il rischio idrogeologico e di incendi. Si tratta di riprendere e rilanciare modelli di gestione "comunitaria" del territorio e delle sue risorse già presenti da secoli e talora ancora attivi sul nostro territorio (l'esperienza più nota è quella della

Tutto ciò è la Ferrovia della Valsesia, lunga circa 51 km, che VERBANIA collega la stazione di Vignale a quella di Varallo Sesia.

  • History of the Cathedral Organ
    History of the Cathedral Organ The first worship service was held at the Cathedral of the Incarnation on Trinity Sunday, 1911. At this time, only the undercroft was completed, and the building was designated the “pro-cathedral”, meaning the building was designated to someday be the Cathedral. No records can be found of what instrument was used between 1911 and 1931, when the upper church was finally completed. Neither can any record be found of the instrument used in our sanctuary between 1931 and 1941. In 1941, the original Cathedral organ was purchased from the Möller Organ Company of Hagerstown. The instrument at the time had a total of fourteen ranks of pipes and chimes. The purchase price was $5,825, for Möller Opus 7042 (about $91,000 in 2014 dollars). Completion of the organ, envisioned to be 43 ranks, was planned as soon as funds were available. In 1960, the Cathedral received a bequest by Ella Jarrett and Mary Helen Ziegler for additions to the organ. A contract was given to the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company of Boston for the additions (Opus 1386). Six additional ranks were added to the swell organ and seven ranks were added to the choir organ. The cost of this work was $15,200 (about $119,000 in 2014 dollars). A proposal to add an additional 11 ranks to the great organ and five ranks to the pedal organ was rejected by the Chapter as too costly. The cost of these additions at the time was $17,550. By 1971, the organ was in need of an overhaul.

Lemares massiva transkriptionsarbete. I det här arbetet undersöks hur Lemares transkriptionskonst är utformad och hur hans metoder kan appliceras på eget transkriptionsarbete. Lemares och andras transkriptioner jämförs med Wagners originalpartitur för att metoder och verktyg ska kunna observeras. Dessa appliceras på en egen transkription, vars skapelseprocess redogörs för. Detta arbete visar att Lemare använder sig av en metodisk teknik som i stora drag grundar sig på det klangliga resultatets slutliga kvalitet. I det här arbetet beskrivs denna teknik relativt ingående, för att om möjligt bidra med insikter och metoder för den av transkriptioner intresserade.
