  • Alban Berg – Sieben Frühe Lieder
    DOI: 10.2478/ajm-2020-0012 Studies Alban Berg – Sieben frühe Lieder. Performance perspectives IONELA BUTU, Associate Professor PhD “George Enescu” National University of Arts ROMANIA∗ Bergʼs worldwide reputation had been consolidated with orchestral and chamber works and the opera Wozzeck. (...) For different reasons, his dimension as a composer of songs does not seem to be very large, and yet it is fundamental to his personality nevertheless. Mark DeVoto Abstract: The study presents several interpretative suggestions made from the perspective of the accompanying pianist that played Alban Bergʼs Sieben frühe Lieder. Why this topic? Because in the Romanian music literature, there is nothing written about the song cycle Sieben frühe Lieder by Alban Berg, which is a representative work in the history of the art song. The theme, addressed in the literature written abroad, is treated mostly from a musicological standpoint. That is why we considered it useful to make some observations of an interpretative nature. They will become relevant if read in parallel with the PhD thesis entitled Alban Bergʼs “Sieben frühe Lieder”: An Analysis of Musical Structures and Selected Performances, written by Lisa A. Lynch (the only documentary source that proposes in-depth syntactic analyses of the work, associated with valuable interpretative suggestions made from a vocal perspective). We also considered useful, during the study, the comparison between the two variants of the work: the chamber/voice-piano version and the orchestral version. The analysis of the symphonic text was carried out intending the observation of significant details useful for realizing an expressive duo performance. Of course, our interpretative suggestions are a variant between many others.

  • “Cathedral-Style” Churches
    “Cathedral-Style” Churches After the turn of the century, Ukrainian congregations often grew to a size where their small church buildings were impractical. The years from about 1920 to 1940 thus witnessed the construction of many large Ukrainian churches in Manitoba. These were no longer simple log or light wood frame structures like those built by the early settlers. The new churches were more elaborate structures, larger in scale and often more sophisticated in ornamentation; similar in conception to the large Ukrainian Baroque churches like the restored St. Sophia in Kiev, the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Chapel of the Three Saints. Although not technically cathedrals – which are the seats of bishops – these churches are so extraordinary, especially in a rural landscape, that they are frequently called “prairie cathedrals.” Considering the modest nature of the log or wood frame churches examined previously in this study, the large churches designed for Ukrainian Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox congregations in Manitoba during the 1920s, 30s, 40, and 50s are remarkable. Foremost among these are the Ukrainian Catholic churches designed by Father Philip Ruh. His designs for “cathedral‐style” churches adorn the countryside outside Manitoba from Edmonton, Alberta to St. Catharineʹs, Ontario. Research to date attributes 33 structures to this amazing man. Ruh’s influence also spread to other communities in less direct ways. He was often called upon by various congregations to discuss the designs for new churches and the two main contractors working for Ruh relied on his designs for the churches they built without his supervision. Ruh was prolific and his designs influential.

  • Carpenders Park and South Oxhey (Again Watch for Details)
    CPSO METHODIST CHURCH NEWSLETTER Lent/Easter 2020 Minister’s Letter – Journey into Lent Our Lent journey begins! We make our way with Jesus towards Jerusalem and the Cross. This year we are exploring that journey and the places en-route through our Lent Group “Places on the Way”. We are stopping off at a village wedding in Cana, climbing new heights at the mount of Transfiguration, finishing up at the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem as Jesus makes his way to Golgotha. We will be exploring what the journey meant to Jesus and the journey we make this Lent. (See later in the newsletter for details) Following on from the soap cross, this Lent I am asking for you to make pom- poms – brown wool pom-poms of various sizes and shades of brown. Make as many as you can during the six weeks of Lent and then join the team putting the cross together. (More information to follow) Maundy Thursday we are still going to gather for a shared meal and worship in the small hall at Bushey and Oxhey Church but this year it will be a ‘bring & share’ supper (details to follow). Finally, Good Friday, as churches together in Bushey and Oxhey, this year we are trying something slightly different. During Passiontide you will be asked to take some purple ribbons and tie them in prominent places (purple being a symbol of the passion). We will gather outside St. Andrews at 9.30am for a short act of worship before walking (or driving) down to the small park opposite St Peter’s for another short reflection.
