Cover design by Sametz Blackstone Associates — Welcome A Message from Mark Volpe Managing Director, Boston Symphony Orchestra and Ellen Highstein Director, Tanglewood Music Center Welcome to Tanglewood on Parade, our annual celebration of the diversity and depth of the Tanglewood experience. It is the occasion when one can hear the Boston Symphony, the Boston Pops, the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra and TMC chamber ensem- bles, the orchestra and chorus of the Boston University Tanglewood Institute (Boston University's program for gifted high-school age musicians), and world famous guest artists—all in one day filled with music, festivities, and tradition. Tanglewood on Parade is also a celebration with a special purpose—to provide funds to support the Tanglewood Music Center, one of the most influential centers for advanced musical study in the world since its founding by Serge Koussevitzky in 1940. In fulfillment of Koussevitzky 's dream, young musicians come to this beautiful setting to devote themselves to music, working under the supervision of outstanding artist-teach- ers, while in daily contact with the life of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The TMC is unique: the BSO is the only orchestra in the world that transforms itself annually into an academy for advanced study, and members of each section of the BSO participate in the daily activities of the Tanglewood Music Center, in master classes, repertoire sessions, or- chestra exchanges, and chamber music collaborations. In addition, a resident faculty of internationally renowned artists adds its voices to provide an incomparably rich musical experience. In the final work of tonight's concert, the BSO and TMC Orchestra join to- gether to perform Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, always a special highlight of our summer. By joining us here today, and thus supporting the Tanglewood Music Center, you are helping to provide the funds that enable all of the Center's extraordinary musicians young professionals and conservatory or graduate level students of exceptional accomplish- ment—to attend the TMC for free. Since tuition, room, and board are all provided at no cost to the Fellows of the Center, talent becomes the only criterion for participation, and these young musicians can focus all their attention on music-making. There are over 10,000 alumni of the Music Center. They play on the world's stages as soloists and ensemble musicians; they form the core of many of the orchestras and opera companies of America and of the world. They also conduct these orchestras and opera companies, and write the music that they play; and they go on to become the next generation of great teaching ar- tists. Without help from music lovers like yourselves, the Tanglewood Music Center could not continue to provide this essential, and magical, experience. There is no other place in the world like Tanglewood, where young musicians come each summer to be inspired by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the TMC faculty, the guest artists, and the unique Tanglewood landscape—and to find a home in music. We all thank you for helping to make this possible. i The Tanglewood Music Center Since its start as the Berkshire Music Center in 1940, the Tanglewood Music Center has become one of the world's most influential centers for advanced musical study. Serge Koussevitzky, the Boston Symphony Orchestra's music director from 1924 to 1949, founded the school with the intention of creating a premier music academy where, with the re- sources of a great symphony orchestra at their disposal, young instrumentalists, vocalists, conductors, and composers would sharpen their skills under the tutelage of Boston Sym- phony Orchestra musicians and other specially invited artists. The school opened formally on July 8, 1940, with speeches and music. "If ever there was a time to speak of music, it is now in the New World," said Koussevitzky, alluding to the war then raging in Europe. Randall Thomp- son's Alleluia for unaccompanied chorus, spe- cially written for the ceremony, arrived less than an hour before the event began but made such an impression that it continues to be performed at the opening ceremonies each summer. The TMC was Koussevitzky's pride and joy for the rest of his life. He assembled an extraordinary faculty in composition, operatic and choral activ- ities, and instrumental performance; he himself taught the most gifted conductors. Koussevitzky continued to develop the Tan- glewood Music Center until 1950, a year after his retirement as the BSO's music director. Charles Munch, his successor in that position, ran the Tanglewood Music Center from 1951 through 1962, working with Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland to shape the school's pro- Serge Koussevitzky grams. In 1963, new BSO Music Director Erich Leinsdorf took over the school's reins, returning to Koussevitzky s hands-on leadership approach while restoring a renewed emphasis on contemporary music. In 1970, three years before his appointment as BSO music director, Seiji Ozawa became head of the BSO's programs at Tanglewood, with Gunther Schuller leading the TMC and Leonard Bern- stein as general advisor. Leon Fleisher served as the TMC's Artistic Director from 1985 to 1997. In 1994, with the opening of Seiji Ozawa Hall, the TMC centralized its activities on the Leonard Bernstein Campus, which also includes the Aaron Copland Library, chamber music studios, administrative offices, and the Leonard Bernstein Performers Pavilion adjacent to Ozawa Hall. In 1997, Ellen Highstein was appointed Director of the Tanglewood Music Center, operating under the artistic supervision of Seiji Ozawa. The Tanglewood Music Center Fellowship Program offers an intensive schedule of study and performance for advanced musicians who have completed most of their formal training. Some 150 young artists, all attending the TMC on full fellowships which under- write the costs of tuition, room, and board, participate in a program including chamber and orchestral music, opera and art song, and a strong emphasis on the music of the twen- tieth and twenty- first centuries. The summer of 2002 includes orchestra concerts under the direction of Seiji Ozawa, Hans Graf, and James Conlon; and performances by the TMC vocalists and instrumentalists of two rarely heard works of music theater, Satie's Socrate and Stravinsky's Renard, as well as a fiftieth-anniversary concert performance of Leonard Bernstein's opera Trouble in Tahiti. The annual Festival of Contemporary Music will, in 2002, be devoted to American music. Highlights will include a concert devoted to celebrating longtime TMC faculty member Phyllis Curtin and her championing of the American art song; a performance of Lukas Foss's opera Griffelkin in honor of his eighti- eth birthday, and five days of concerts featuring works composed in the last fifteen years. Director of the 2002 Festival will be composer Bright Sheng. TMC Composition Fellows will also participate in a collaborative project with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus; under the mentorship ofTFC conductor John Oliver and guest composer Steve Mackey, Fellows will create works for small chorus to be performed at a special workshop in Ozawa Hall. Two special seminars—one devoted to the string quartet literature, under the direction of the JuilHard String Quartet, and one devoted to Bach performance led by Craig Smith, director of Boston's Emmanuel Music Ensemble—will open the TMC sea- son. In addition, TMC Fellows will reach out to the Berkshire community with two free youth concerts performed during the season. Also at Tanglewood each summer, the Boston University Tanglewood Institute sponsors a variety of programs that offer individ- ual and ensemble instruction to talented younger students, mostly of high school age. It would be impossible to list all of the distinguished musicians who have studied at the Tanglewood Music Center. According to recent estimates, 20% of the members of American symphony orchestras, and 30% of all first-chair players, studied at the TMC.

Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2009. Romanian music during the second half of the twentieth century was influenced by the socio-politic environment. During the Communist era, composers struggled among the official ideology, synchronizing with Western compositional trends of the time, and following their own natural style. With the appearance of great instrumentalists like clarinetist Aurelian Octav Popa, composers began writing valuable works that increased the quality and the quantity of the repertoire for this instrument. Works written for clarinet during the second half of the twentieth century represent a wide variety of styles, mixing elements from Western traditions with local elements of concert and folk music. While the four works discussed in this document are demanding upon one’s interpretative abilities and technically challenging, they are also musically rewarding. iii I wish to thank Ioana Hărșian, Voicu Hărșian, Roxana Oberșterescu, Ilie Oberșterescu and Michele Abbott for their patience and support.

  • Full Volume 22
    Ethnomusicology Review 22(1) From the Editors Samuel Lamontagne and Tyler Yamin Welcome to Volume 22, issue 1 of Ethnomusicology Review! This issue features an invited essay along with three peer-reviewed articles that cover a wide range of topics, geographical areas, methodological and theoretical approaches. As it seems to be a characteristic of ethnomusicology at large, this variety, even if it has become an object of critical inquiry itself (Rice, 1987, 2007; Laborde, 1997), has allowed the discipline, by grounding itself in reference to the context of study, to not take “music” for granted. It is in this perspective that we’d like to present this volume, and the variety of its contributions. In his invited essay, Jim Sykes asks what ramifications of the Anthropocece, understood as a socio-ecological crisis, hold for the field of music studies and the politics of its internal disciplinary divisions. Drawing upon scholars who assert that the Anthropocene demands not only concern about our planet’s future but also critical attention towards the particular, historically situated ontological commitments that engendered this crisis, Sykes argues that music studies both depends on and reproduces a normative model of the world in which music itself occupies an unproblematized metaphysical status—one that, furthermore, occludes the possibility of “reframe[ing] music history as a tale about the maintenance of the Earth system” (14, this issue) urgently necessary as anthropogenic climate change threatens the continuation of life as usual. By taking seriously the material and discursive aspects of musical practice often encountered ethnographically, yet either explained away by “the worldview embedded in our disciplinary divisions or .

  • Steve Mackey's Music Has Muscle. It Behaves Like An
    Steve Mackey’s music has muscle. It behaves like an animal. It’s not polite, this music. It’s not music as math by another means. This is emotional music; this is dance music—at times angry, at times mysterious, at times ethereal, at times primitive, always intensely searching, and yes, at times heady (that too is part of moving about in the world). This music doesn’t wait for us. It isn’t looking back to make sure we’re following, or stopping to explain why it’s moving as it does. Even when it’s still, almost placid, it isn’t waiting. It’s tracking something, closing in on it, in the dark, resolutely, with measured steps, or in daylight at a dead run. It’s not quite safe here, is it? And that raw electric sound of his, it’s his. Those rough licks, tricky, virtuosic, a controlled wildness, an infectious brashness that drives the powerful unisons in Heavy Light. This guitar sound seems to challenge the timbral assumptions of those nineteenth-century instruments, invite them on the road trip. And yet, with MOSAIC it makes exquisite sense. Together they’re like the smartest garage band you’ll ever hear. MOSAIC has the sand, the wit, and the skill to make this adventure work. MOSAIC would appear to be a perfect word here: MOSAIC: At home in any world, a timeless practice—bright, distinct, individual tiles, formed in the aggregate to flow like water, or threaten like a hungry dog, or speak of God. Where are we, anyway? The jungle? Second Avenue? Both and .
