    COMPOSITION - EXPERIMENT - TRADITION: An experimental tradition. A compositional experiment. A traditional composition. An experimental composition. A traditional experiment. A compositional tradition. Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] 22-23 February 2012, Orpheus Institute, Ghent Belgium The fourth International ORCiM Seminar organised at the Orpheus Institute offers an opportunity for an international group of contributors to explore specific aspects of ORCiM's research focus: Artistic Experimentation in Music. The theme of the conference is: Composition – Experiment – Tradition. This two-day international seminar aims at exploring the complex role of experimentation in the context of compositional practice and the artistic possibilities that its different approaches yield for practitioners and audiences. How these practices inform, or are informed by, historical, cultural, material and geographical contexts will be a recurring theme of this seminar. The seminar is particularly directed at composers and music practitioners working in areas of research linked to artistic experimentation. Organising Committee ORCiM Seminar 2012: William Brooks (U.K.), Kathleen Coessens (Belgium), Stefan Östersjö (Sweden), Juan Parra (Chile/Belgium) Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] The Orpheus Research Centre in Music is based at the Orpheus Institute in Ghent, Belgium. ORCiM's mission is to produce and promote the highest quality research into music, and in particular into the processes of music- making and our understanding of them. ORCiM

  • Mcewen Concert Programme 2020
    5 March 2020 McEwen Memorial Concert of Scottish Chamber Music Thursday 5 March, 2020 1.10pm University Concert Hall Nanhai Piano Trio Gongbo Jiang (violin), Robert Anderson (cello), and Gordon Bragg (piano) David Horne Reflecting Instruments* *Commissioned by the Court of the University of Glasgow under the terms of the McEwen Bequest. Additional funding towards today’s performance has been provided by the Ferguson Bequest. While I have a large number of chamber works including four string quartets, a piano quartet and two piano quintets, this is the first work I have composed for Piano Trio. It is fair to say that the wonderful Piano Trio by Maurice Ravel has always been inspirational to me, including as a pianist when I performed the work many times. While there are no direct allusions to that great work, I was motivated to explore a wide range of colour and textures in my own piece, with the trio frequently coalescing and separating texturally. As the title suggests, there is a great deal of interplay between the timbres of the various instruments and how they interplay, indeed reflect each other. From the outset the piano seems to echo and even resonate the sounds of the strings, though as the work progresses this relationship often reverses, with the strings emulating the harmonics of the piano, its pedalling and resonance. There is another aspect of the music’s language which will not be apparent to the listener but is worth noting. In much of my work I am fascinated by the nature of instruments and how their own idioms often inspire and lead musical ideas.

So too were the marching bands in which he played clarinet as a young student. Learning the basic European DU canon in front of the family Magnavox, Adams readily O assimilated it alongside the crazy quilt of American vernacular R music he encountered in the early postwar decades. Duke Ellington is a recurrent inspiration, and Adams’s love of jazz— which returns in unexpected forms, such as the improvisatory NT I “hypermelody” of the Violin Concerto (1993) or the electric violin’s raga-like musings in The Dharma at Big Sur (2003)— was early nurtured by his parents’ activities in jazz groups. As a student at Harvard during the cataclysmic upheavals of the late Sixties, Adams experienced the cognitive dissonance of the arid pronouncements of contemporary serialists when confronted with the fresh, Dionysian inventiveness of this golden age of rock.

Melinda Maxwell - Pibroch Ross Edwards - Ulpirra Telemann Fantasia in A minor Taken from Telemann’s collection of twelve Fantasias, this work was originally for solo Flute. Written in Hamburg in 1732 this Fantasia plenty of freedom for the performer to explore the sonorities of their instrument. While the modern oboe performing this evening will have dif- fered greatly from the Baroque Flutes intended for this work, so many extraordinary qualities of the music endure. In many ways the Fantasias remain just as virtuosic as they were nearly three hundred years ago. Compromising four short movements, this work blends and contrasts lyrical melodies with moments of really verve and energy. Emily Doolittle Social Sounds for Whales at Night (Cor Anglais, Percussion and Tape) Both the English horn and the tape part of Social sounds from whales at night are drawn almost entirely from the song of the humpback whale. The English horn begins by playing a transcrip- tion of the humpback whale song, while the tape part begins as an accompanimental background made out of altered recordings humpback whale song, sperm whale clicks, musician wren song, and one grey seal “rup” call. As the humpback whale song itself begins to emerge from the tape part, the oboe d’amore and the whale sing in duet, before the English horn takes over with an improvisation based on the whale’s musical language.

  • Queer Performativity and Grieving Through Music in the Work of Rufus Wainwright
    TRUE LOVES, DARK NIGHTS: QUEER PERFORMATIVITY AND GRIEVING THROUGH MUSIC IN THE WORK OF RUFUS WAINWRIGHT Stephanie Salerno A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Christian Coons Graduate Faculty Representative Kimberly Coates Katherine Meizel © 2016 Stephanie Salerno All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This dissertation studies the cultural significance of Canadian-American singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright’s (b. 1973) album All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu (Decca, 2010). Lulu was written, recorded, and toured in the years surrounding the illness and eventual death of his mother, beloved Québécoise singer/songwriter Kate McGarrigle. The album, performed as a classical song cycle, stands out amongst Wainwright’s musical catalogue as a hybrid composition that mixes classical and popular musical forms and styles. More than merely a collection of songs about death, loss, and personal suffering, Lulu is a vehicle that enabled him to grieve through music. I argue that Wainwright’s performativity, as well as the music itself, can be understood as queer, or as that which transgresses traditional or expected boundaries. In this sense, Wainwright’s artistic identity and musical trajectory resemble a rhizome, extending in multiple directions and continually expanding to create new paths and outcomes. Instances of queerness reveal themselves in the genre hybridity of the Lulu song cycle, the emotional vulnerability of Wainwright’s vocal performance, the deconstruction of gender norms in live performance, and the circulation of affect within the performance space.
