Flint Juventino Beppe and Music - an Inseparable Entity Composing and Creative Art Is a Lifestyle for Flint Juventino Beppe (B.1973) Flint Juventino Beppe and music - an inseparable entity Composing and creative art is a lifestyle for Flint Juventino Beppe (b.1973). This has never been a conscious choice; it had to be this way. As long as he can remember, music has flowed through his mind – and Beppe's lifestyle has been greatly influenced by this. – It is really as simple as it is complicated: I breathe in what life has to offer, and breathe out what I have to offer life. I have given up trying to grasp what actually happens in the process from impression to expression. Flint Juventino Beppe As per 2018, Beppe's catalogue of works comprises about 200 titles, more than 80 opuses, including commissions and works for piano, flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, double bass, string orchestra and orchestral works like flute concertos, piano concertos and symphonic poems. Beppe also writes ballet music, electroacoustic music, film soundtracks, songs and lyrics. He has contributed as composer on several albums. Flute Mystery and Remote Galaxy (2L) were Grammy-nominated in 2010 and 2015, and feature conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy, Emily Beynon, Mark van de Wiel, Ralph Rousseau and Philharmonia Orchestra. Other artists he has worked with include Sir James Galway, Andreas Blau, Leonard Slatkin and National Symphony Orchestra. The award-winning documentary Exhaling Music tells of Beppe's intense and life-threatening breach with religion when he was 17. His childhood religion could never follow him into adulthood. Having no specific political preferences, Beppe has nevertheless always felt an esteem for individual freedom permeating all his art. Hence, Beppe is constantly dreaming of a world without religion and state suppression. Beppe is composer, scriptwriter, director and producer for the music and art film production Symbiophonies, having directed the films Montagna con Forza and Vicino alla Montagna. Memberships: Deutscher Komponistenverband, GEMA and GVL. Catherine Beynon, Emily Beynon, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Sir James Galway, Flint Juventino Beppe and Leonard Slatkin. - I call the art I make "fingerprints", because they do represent my musical or artistic version of the impressions I have inhaled. I see these fingerprints as my lifesavers because they help me articulate what I experience, and they relieve some of my inner pressure. These musical fingerprints are also based on my underlying wish for universal and personal freedom for every living creature on this earth. Flint Juventino Beppe www.fjbfingerprint.com A sele ction of reviews Flint Juventino Beppe - (formerly known as Fred Jonny Berg) Remote Galaxy (Philharmonia Orchestra - Vladimir Ashkenazy, 2L) - This program of mostly 21st century music will be extremely accessible to all audiences. I got the recurring notion that a number, if not all, of the pieces in Remote Galaxy could be construed as "soundtracks" for our times. I would not be surprised to see some of them eventually turn up as bits or entire selections in future films. While I was unaware of Flint Juventius Beppe's body of work before I reviewed this disc, I will be looking forward to future works from this obviously talented composer. Blu-rayDefinition.com January 2014 - There's a lot of music here - in both size and scope. The Vinyl Anachronist, December 2013 - This album takes you to the unique journey of dreams and self discovery. It's a vibrant, cognitive traveling. Like a grand story unveiling with each song creating a short musical essay of its own. MONOStereo, December 2013 - Remote Galaxy is one of the finest recordings I have ever heard! Unlike a lot of so-called demonstration material, the music matches the quality of the recording. It's an incredible artistic and technical achievement, and a disc I will return to many times in the months and years to come. Audiophile Audition, December 2013 Flute Mystery (Philharmonia Orchestra - Vladimir Ashkenazy, 2L) was nominated for a Grammy award 2010 in the category Best Surround Sound Album. - Fred Jonny Berg [Flint Juventino Beppe] is a major musical discovery. It would be necessary to rewind to the 1940s and Malcolm Arnold to find an emerging composer of such exceeding promise. His compositions are confidently tonal, fluently melodious and possessed of virtually supernatural penetrative power. The flute works receive achingly beautiful, indeed enchanting, performances from Emily Beynon and the Philharmonia under Vladimir Ashkenazy (Berg conducts the other pieces). This set is recommended for any collector seeking the refined side of contemporary music. La Scena, Canada, November, 2009 - Listening to this disc introduced the writer to the pleasant new discovery of the music of Fred Jonny Berg. This innovative Norwegian composer (born in 1973) has written prolifically for a wide range of instruments and instrumental combinations, including the flute and flute family, with compositions being dedicated and performed by such esteemed flautists as James Galway and Emily Beynon. His works are accessible yet distinctive, are largely tonal, colourful and melodic with a convincing emotional pull. The originality of his music can perhaps be linked to his wide experience in range of other areas such as film making, writing, directing and singing. Flute Focus, April 2010 - One of the high rez albums that stood out was the Flute Mystery by Fred Jonny Berg (2L, available as a two disc SACD and Blu-ray audio-only pair), an album I learned about thanks to the members of the CANADA HiFi forum. The moment I began listening to this album it transformed my room into a sonically magical, fantasy land. The surround mix of this performance is just wonderful, with carefully chosen instruments directed to the surround channels. Rather than sounding gimmicky, this surround experience raised my enjoyment to a truly higher level. (...) This is without question the best sounding orchestral surround disc I've heard to date – a must have for classical music fans. CANADA HIFI Magazine, March 2012 - The performances, it need hardly be said given the stature of the musicians, are impeccable. Emily Beynon is as good a flute player as has walked the earth, and she clearly enjoys playing this music. Few recordings have given me such pleasure. PAN Magazine, September 2009 - Berg's musical paintings were brought to life by none other than the great Vladimir Ashkenazy leading the Philharmonia Orchestra. The performances match the compositions beautifully, covering the whole dynamic range from very quiet to thunderously majestic. (....) 2L has done it again. With beautiful renditions of Norwegian Fred Jonny Berg's music that have been flawlessly recorded, one can sit back and enjoy the visuals flashing by the inner eye while being surrounded by a fabulous sounding orchestra. As an avid film lover with a large number of movie scores in his CD collection, but also as a classical music aficionado and someone who appreciates well done surround recordings, I can only highly recommend this Blu-ray Audio Disc. Reference quality! 6moons, February 2010 - Music by Norwegian composer Fred Jonny Berg is featured on this CD. The impressive quality and clarity of the recording immediately stands out, portraying Beppe's expressive and rich language in the best possible way. Flutist Quartely, Spring 2010 - The aptly named 'Flute Mystery', the work that opens this programme, has an ethereal quality and immediate appeal due to its strong melodic content and transparent orchestration (flute, harp and strings). The outstanding principal flute of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Emily Beynon, and her sister the harpist Catherine Beynon play this ravishing piece with consummate skill, while Ashkenazy and the Philharmonia's accompaniment is wonderfully refined. SA-CD.net, June 2009 ***** / ***** - Bergs piece alluding to the mountains is from a score he created for a film with the same title. He depicts mountain panoramas in his own way, and rather than the alpine peaks of some romantic composers, his are the rougher peaks of northern Norway. The Flute Concerto returns to something of the quieter and more contemplative mood of the opening piece. An impression of calm pervades the music without the use of minimalism or other modern devices. Audiophile Edition, June 2009 ***** - Beppe's original, soulful and richly rewarding music is brilliantly performed on this ground-breaking recording. New Classics, June 2009 – For Berg is a composer with a very original way of writing tonal, approachable music, using diatonic, polytonal and modal harmonies, building effective spans of tension and release, able to produce powerful, driving and energetic music (the film music Vicino alla Montagna which depicts the rugged mountains of Norway and the giddily threatening Warning Zero) as well as to conjure soundscapes of mystical calm and peace (Flute Mystery and the concerto, written for and premiered by these forces just six months ago). And all without a hint of minimalism or neo-romantic pastiche. Records International, August 2009 – Galway formed a sinuous bond with the orchestra in the world premiere of Norwegian composer Fred Jonny Berg's "Flute Mystery," Concerto for Alto Flute and Orchestra. Berg writes music of a spare beauty. The 15-minute, one-movement piece merges cool restraint and rhythmic exactitude. Galway, to whom Berg dedicated the score, played his languid lines with sympathy and dark polish. Washington Post, October 6, 2006) Flute Mystery op.66a – Fred Jonny Berg has given the world yet another timeless classic piece with Flute Sonata no.1 op.40 and should be heralded for his tremendous effort and choice of musicians for this grand masterpiece! Gods of Music, 2001). «Flute Sonata No.1» Op.40 – The music grasps me because it is a structured piece that has an improvised feel. The music starts off in one direction that soon changes from rhythm-bound to free- track in one moment, before it restructures itself in a adagio part that sounds like random themes put together, only fooling me until I have a second listen; there is structure, one level up.

  • Flutists' Family Tree : in Search of the American Flute School / by Demetra
    FLUTISTS’ FAMILY TREE: IN SEARCH OF THE AMERICAN FLUTE SCHOOL DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Demetra Baferos Fair, M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Adviser Approved by Professor Lois Rosow Professor Christopher Weait Adviser School of Music Copyright by Demetra Baferos Fair 2003 ABSTRACT For decades, American flutists have sought to identify specific traits that define their playing as a whole. While the “French School” has been characterized by a preoccupation with tone, a standard repertoire, and set of teaching materials written by Paris Conservatoire professors, no such definition can yet be set forth for the “American School.” This document provides a clear starting point for research into the what, where, why, and how of the “American Flute School” by first identifying who is associated with that school. By tracing the lineage of transverse flute playing from teacher to student through the past 300 years, we may identify orchestral flutist, soloist, and teacher, Georges Barrère, as a primary influence upon American flute playing. Barrère and his students – and his students’ students – have taught approximately 91% of all living flutists in the United States today. Of that vast number, approximately 87% can trace their heritage (through one or more of their teachers) to Barrère student William Kincaid, renowned flutist of the Philadelphia Orchestra and pedagogue at the Curtis Institute of Music. It is important to note that most modern musicians study with more than one teacher over the course of their career (usually between three and eight).
