  • Morton Feldman: a Celebration of His 80Th Birthday
    Morton Feldman : A Celebration of His 80th Birthday Curated by John Bewley June 1 – September 15, 2006 Case 1 Morton Feldman was born January 12, 1926 in New York City to Irving and Frances Feldman. He grew up in Woodside, Queens where his father established a company that manufactured children’s coats. His early musical education consisted of piano lessons at the Third Street Settlement School in Manhattan and beginning at age twelve, with Vera Maurina Press, an acquaintance of the Russian composer, Alexander Scriabin, and a student of Ferruccio Busoni, Emil von Sauer, and Ignaz Friedman. Feldman began composing at age nine but did not begin formal studies until age fifteen when he began compositional studies with Wallingford Riegger. Morton Feldman, age 13, at the Perisphere, New York World’s Fair, 1939? Unidentified photographer Rather than pursuing a college education, Feldman chose to study music privately while he continued working for his father until about 1967. After completing his studies in January 1944 at the Music and Arts High School in Manhattan, Feldman studied composition with Stefan Wolpe. It was through Wolpe that Feldman met Edgard Varèse whose music and professional life were major influences on Feldman’s career. Excerpt from “I met Heine on the Rue Furstenburg”, Morton Feldman in conversation with John Dwyer, Buffalo Evening News, Saturday April 21, 1973 Let me tell you about the factory and Lukas Foss (composer and former Buffalo Philharmonic conductor). The plant was near La Guardia airport. Lukas missed his plane one day and he knew I was around there, so he called me up and invited me to lunch.

  • ROBERT BLACK, Pianist ROGER SESSIONS MIRIAM GIDEON
    ROBERT BLACK, pianist Photo by Jane Hamborsky ROGER SESSIONS FIVE PIECES FOR PIANO (1974-75) ROGER SESSIONS (b. 1896, Brooklyn, New York) entered Harvard at the age of 14, and while there managed the footbal l team; he did graduate work with Horatio Parker at Yale. His subsequent studies, probably the most important to his development, were with Ernest Bloch. In his career as a composer and a teacher, Sessions has continued the 'great line' of European composers in its translation to the American musical community. Much of his early career was spent in Europe; after his return to this country, he profoundly influenced generations of students at Princeton, Berkeley and at Juilliard. The FIVE PIECES FOR PIANO were written in 1974 and 1975, thus coming between the cantata, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed , and the Ninth Symphony. In this ordered group, pieces I and V are linked by the slower tempo of their finely-worked counterpoint and their symmetrical forms and pro- cedures; II and IV share a brilliant agitato character and the scherzando, Ill, stands in the center. It was while writing piece IV, having completed the rest of the group, that Sessions heard of the death of a close friend and colleague. The brief tranquillo section which begins at the thirteenth bar marks this exact moment compositionally, and the entire group is inscribed "to the memory of Luigi Dallapiccola." - by Alan Fletcher MIRIAM GIDEON SONATA FOR PIANO (1977) MIRIAM GIDEON, born in Greeley, Colorado, has composed in all media. Her orchestral, chamber, and solo works have been performed and recorded in the U.S.A., Europe, and the Far East.

  • MICHALA PETRI Recorder
    MICHALA PETRI recorder For 50 years, Michala Petri has been one of the most universally recognized and beloved recorder players in the world. She has performed almost 5.000 concerts and has discography of more than 70 critically-acclaimed and award winning recordings. Michala Petri was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, on July 7, 1958 to musical parents. A child prodigy, she first picked up a recorder at the age of three and by the time she was ten, she made her concerto debut in Tivoli Concert Hall and began her formal studies at the at Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hannover, Germany, with Professor Ferdinand Conrad. By the time she was seventeen, she was already making recordings with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Her repertoire spans the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras and extends into contemporary and improvised music and multi-media. This versatility, together with a flawless technique, an insatiable curiosity, and the ability to make an emotional connection with her audiences has contributed to her special appeal as an artist. Her list of collaborators reads like a ‘Who’s Who’ of late 20th century classical music, including such legendary artists as Sir Neville Marriner, Claudio Abbado, Sir James Galway, Gidon Kremer, Heinz Holliger, Henryk Szeryng, Pinchas Zukerman, Maurice Andre, Joshua Bell, Mahan Esfahani, Hille Perl and Keith Jarrett. From her youth, Petri was fascinated with the musical potential of her chosen instrument, however, at the time of her studies the recorder was considered mainly an instrument for early music. But gradually, contemporary composers began taking interest and through Petri’s prompting – and virtuosity - started composing works for her.

  • Program Notes by Michael Moore Rewind//PLAY//Fastforward Performed October 17, 2009
    Program Notes by Michael Moore rewind//PLAY//fastforward Performed October 17, 2009 This evening’s concert begins a season-long celebration of American choral music. The concert opens and closes with music of Charles Ives, that most original and enigmatic of American composers, and also includes Frostiana, Randall Thompson’s superb setting of seven Robert Frost poems. We rewind for a reprise concert performance of David Lang’s deeply moving battle hymns, premiered last season, and fast forward to a preview of Roberto Sierra’s Missa Latina, which Mendelssohn Club will present in its Philadelphia premiere in April. Charles Ives The uniquely eclectic musical style of Charles Ives (1874-1954) was greatly influenced by his father. George Ives was a cornet player and military bandleader in the Civil War, and had returned to his native Danbury, Connecticut where he continued as a bandleader, conductor of theater orchestras and choir director. He had a keen interest in acoustical effects, once marching two bands across the town green from opposite directions, playing different tunes in different keys to gauge the effect, building a device for playing music in quarter tones, and teaching his son to sing in one key while accompanying him in another. He encouraged Charles to experiment with different musical effects, but also instilled in him a love of traditional hymns and tunes, all of which influenced his later music. By the time he entered Yale at 20, Ives was a virtuoso organist and an accomplished pianist and composer. He had already written such significant works as his Variations on America and Psalm 67.

  • Vocality and Listening in Three Operas by Luciano Berio
    Clare Brady Royal Holloway, University of London The Open Voice: Vocality and Listening in three operas by Luciano Berio Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music February 2017 The Open Voice | 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Patricia Mary Clare Brady, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: February 1st 2017 The Open Voice | 2 Abstract The human voice has undergone a seismic reappraisal in recent years, within musicology, and across disciplinary boundaries in the humanities, arts and sciences; ‘voice studies’ offers a vast and proliferating array of seemingly divergent accounts of the voice and its capacities, qualities and functions, in short, of what the voice is. In this thesis, I propose a model of the ‘open voice’, after the aesthetic theories of Umberto Eco’s seminal book ‘The Open Work’ of 1962, as a conceptual framework in which to make an account of the voice’s inherent multivalency and resistance to a singular reductive definition, and to propose the voice as a site of encounter and meaning construction between vocalist and receiver. Taking the concept of the ‘open voice’ as a starting point, I examine how the human voice is staged in three vocal works by composer Luciano Berio, and how the voice is diffracted through the musical structures of these works to display a multitude of different, and at times paradoxical forms and functions. In Passaggio (1963) I trace how the open voice invokes the hegemonic voice of a civic or political mass in counterpoint with the particularity and frailty of a sounding individual human body.

  • Richard Teitelbaum
    RICHARD TEITELBAUM . f lectro-Acoustic Chamber Music February 27-28, 1979 8:30pm $3.50 / $2.00 members / TDF Music The Kitchen Center 484 Broome Street On February 27- 28, The Kitchen Center will present works by Richard Teitel baum. Performers of the compositions and improvisations on the program include George Lewis, trombone and electronics; Reih i Sano, shakuhachi; and Richard Teitel baum, Pol yMoog, MicroMoog and modular Moog synthesizers. The program of electro-acoustic chamber music opens with "Blends," a piece for shakuhachi and synthesizers featuring the playing of Reihi Sano. The piece was composed and first per- formed in 1977, while Teitelbaum was studying in Japan on a Fullbright scholarship. Reihi Sano, who is currently an artist-in-residence at Wesleyan University, has a virtuoso command of the shakuhachi, the endblown bamboo flute. This performance of "Blends" is an American premiere. Similarly, a new work with George Lewis, incorporates Lewis's prodigious com- mand of the trombone and live electronics in a semi-improvisational piece. George Lewis has been involved with the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians since 1971, and has played with musicians as diverse as Anth0n.y Braxton, Phil Niblock and Count Basie, in addition to studying philosophy at Yale University. Teitelbaum and Lewis have played at Axis In SoHo, Studio RivBea and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. An extensive synthesizer solo by Teitelbaum, entitled "Shrine" (1976-78) rounds out the concert program. Richard Teitelbaum is one of the prime movers of live electronic music. Classically trained, and with a Master's degree in Music from Yale, he studied in Italy with Luigi Nono.
