Decca Classics Will Release the Recording of Janáček's Glagolitic

Czech Philharmonic recordings JANÁČEK: GLAGOLITIC MASS Jiří Bělohlávek, conductor Release date: Friday 31 August 2018 (4834080) On 31 August, Decca Classics will release the Czech Philharmonic's recording of Janáček's Glagolitic Mass, Sinfonietta, Taras Bulba and The Fiddler’s Child conducted by the late Jiří Bělohlávek. With the release of Smetana’s Má vlast (My Homeland) at the beginning of the year, the recordings mark some of the last that Bělohlávek made with the Orchestra for Decca Classics. 90 years since Janáček’s death in 1928, the Czech Philharmonic continues to champion the music of its homeland as it has done since its inaugural concert in 1896 when it gave the première of Dvořák's Biblical Songs conducted by the composer. Of the works featured on this release, Janáček's The Fiddler's Child and Sinfonietta both received their world premières from the Czech Philharmonic, the former under Otakar Ostrčil in 1917 and the latter under Václav Talich in 1926. Talich also conducted the Czech Philharmonic in the Prague première of Taras Bulba in 1924. The Orchestra made earlier recordings of the Glagolitic Mass with Karel Ančerl, Václav Neumann and Sir Charles Mackerras, but this is the first under Jiří Bělohlávek who chose to conduct the work at the First Night of the 2011 BBC Proms. Jiří Bělohlávek's recordings with the Czech Philharmonic for Decca Classics include Dvořák’s complete Symphonies & Concertos, Slavonic Dances and Stabat Mater, which was chosen as Album of the Week by The Sunday Times. Under its new Chief Conductor and Music Director, Semyon Bychkov, the Orchestra have recently embarked on The Tchaikovsky Project – recordings of the complete symphonies, the three piano concertos, Romeo & Juliet, Serenade for Strings and Francesca da Rimini. The first disc was released in 2016 and featured the Pathétique coupled with the Romeo & Juliet Fantasy-Overture. It was followed in August 2017 by the release of the Manfred Symphony. The Tchaikovsky Project culminates in 2019 with residencies in Prague, Vienna and Paris, and Decca's release of the full Tchaikovsky boxset. The Czech Philharmonic and Semyon Bychkov will be in London this October to celebrate the centenary of Czech and Slovak independence at the invitation of the Embassy of the Czech Republic. Opening with Smetana's Bartered Bride Overture and broadcast live on BBC Radio 3, Bychkov will conduct the Orchestra in Dvořák's Cello Concerto and Symphony No. 7 at London's Royal Academy of Music. The single UK concert will be followed by an 11-concert tour of the US including two concerts at New York's Carnegie Hall.

LEOŠ JANÁČEK Born July 3, 1854 in Hukvaldy, Moravia, Czechoslovakia; Died August 12, 1928 in Ostrava
LEOŠ JANÁČEK Born July 3, 1854 in Hukvaldy, Moravia, Czechoslovakia; died August 12, 1928 in Ostrava Taras Bulba, Rhapsody for Orchestra (1915-1918) PREMIERE OF WORK: Brno, October 9, 1921 Brno National Theater Orchestra František Neumann, conductor APPROXIMATE DURATION: 23 minutes INSTRUMENTATION: piccolo, three flutes, two oboes, English horn, E-flat and two B-flat clarinets, three bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, organ and strings By 1914, the Habsburg dynasty had ruled central Europe for over six centuries. Rudolf I of Switzerland, the first of the Habsburgs, confiscated Austria and much surrounding territory in 1276, made them hereditary family possessions in 1282, and, largely through shrewd marriages with far-flung royal families, the Habsburgs thereafter gained control over a vast empire that at one time stretched from the Low Countries to the Philippines and from Spain to Hungary. By the mid-19th century, following the geo-political upheavals of the Napoleonic Wars, the Habsburg dominions had shrunk to the present territories of Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia, a considerable reduction from earlier times but still a huge expanse of land encompassing a great diversity of national characteristics. The eastern countries continued to be dissatisfied with their domination by the Viennese monarchy, however, and the central fact of the history of Hungary and the Czech lands during the 19th century was their striving toward independence from the Habsburgs. The Dual Monarchy of 1867 allowed the eastern lands a degree of autonomy, but ultimate political and fiscal authority still rested with Emperor Franz Joseph and his court in Vienna.

African-American Bassoonists and Their Representation Within the Classical Music Environment
African-American Bassoonists and Their Representation within the Classical Music Environment D.M.A. 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 Ian Anthony Bell, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Karen Pierson, Advisor Doctor Arved Ashby Professor Katherine Borst Jones Doctor Russel Mikkelson Copyrighted by Ian Anthony Bell 2019 Abstract This paper is the culmination of a research study to gauge the representation of professional African-American orchestral bassoonists. Are they adequately represented? If they are not adequately represented, what is the cause? Within a determined set of parameters, prominent orchestras and opera companies were examined. Of the 342 orchestral and opera companies studied, there are 684 positions for bassoonists. Sixteen of these jobs are currently held by African-Americans. Some of these musicians hold positions in more than one organization reducing the study to twelve black bassoonists. Translated to a percentage, .022% of the professional bassoonists within these groups are African-American, leading the author to believe that the African-American bassoon community is underrepresented in American orchestras and opera companies. This study also contains a biography of each of the twelve bassoonists. In addition, four interviews and five questionnaires were completed by prominent African- American bassoonists. Commonalities were identified, within their lives and backgrounds, illuminating some of the reasons for their success. Interview participants included Rufus Olivier Jr. (San Francisco Opera), Joshua Hood (Charlotte Symphony Orchestra), Monica Ellis (Imani Winds), Alexander Davis (fellowship recipient), and Andrew Brady (Atlanta Symphony Orchestra).

Botticelli Triptych
RESPIGHI Botticelli Triptych November 2014 6 From the President J.D. Scott Dear Friends: Since the 1920s The Philadelphia Orchestra has engaged young people, and indeed people of all ages, with the joys and thrills of orchestral music through the presentation of numerous programs. Today that tradition continues with expanded offerings, which are more important than ever. November is School Concert month at The Philadelphia Orchestra. This year’s theme, Music and Art: Instruments of Expression, explores how these two artistic forms serve as a means for understanding ourselves and the world around us. The concert, led by our new assistant conductor, Lio Kuokman, will make powerful connections between music and other creative forms in a guided tour through vibrant sounds and images. This month also brings the first of our Open Rehearsals for Students, allowing high school and college students a behind- the-scenes peek at how a concert comes together, and a rare opportunity to observe first-hand the artistic collaboration between musicians and conductors. It’s a fascinating way to get even closer to the music. From Sound All Around (our award-winning program for 3-5 year olds) to Family Concerts, from PreConcert Conversations to Free Neighborhood Concerts, PlayINs, Side-by-Side rehearsals, and LiveNote (our recently launched interactive concert guide for mobile devices), our collaborative learning offerings are a key element of the Orchestra’s mission. Our community offerings take Orchestra musicians offstage, on the road, and into the lives of music-lovers throughout the Philadelphia region, celebrating the wealth of musicianship in this area.

PROGRAM NOTES Leoš Janáček – Taras Bulba, Rhapsody
PROGRAM NOTES Leoš Janáček – Taras Bulba, Rhapsody for Orchestra Leoš Janáček Born July 3, 1854, Hochwald (Hukvaldy), Northern Moravia. Died August 12, 1928, Moravska Ostravá, Czechoslovakia. Taras Bulba, Rhapsody for Orchestra Leoš Janáček loved all things Russian. He formed a Russian Club in Brno in 1897, visited Russia twice in the early years of the twentieth century, and even sent his children to Saint Petersburg to study. Of the Russian writers he admired, including Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, it was the novelist and playwright Nikolai Gogol he loved most. Janáček considered writing music based on Gogol's tale of Taras Bulba as early as 1905, although a decade passed before he started work on it. He completed the score three years later, the day before his sixty-first birthday. Still, Taras Bulba is one of Janáček's "early" compositions. Taras Bulba is Janáček's first significant orchestral work. Like Jenůfa, which was premiered in 1904 but didn't come to attention in the larger music world until it was staged in Prague in 1916, Taras Bulba would wait to find its audience. When it was finally performed for the first time in January 1924, Janácek left the hall as soon as the piece was over (the concert was billed as an early observance of his seventieth birthday and he didn't want to celebrate until the actual day arrived) and he failed to hear the enthusiastic crowd calling for him. The violent, bloody story of Taras Bulba is one of Gogol's most enduring and influential works. Ernest Hemingway called it "one of the ten greatest books of all time" (although Vladimir Nabokov, normally a Gogol admirer, likened it to "rollicking yarns about lumberjacks").

Janáček, Religion and Belief
MUSICOLOGICA BRUNENSIA 44, 2009, 1–2 JOHN TYRRELL (CARDIFF) Janáček, religion and belief Famously in his final year, Janáček repudiated his pupil Ludvík Kundera’s con- tention that the ‘old man’ had at last made his peace with God and become again a believer. ‘Not an old man, not a believer! Young man!’ he wrote indignantly to him.1 Leoš Janáček was baptized into the Catholic Church2 and given Christian names (Leo Eugen) that celebrated papal and saintly associations rather than fam- ily ones.3 Church-going was a part of his young family life, as vividly described in his famous feuilleton Without Drums JW XV/199, and it became even more so when at the age of eleven he was enrolled as a resident chorister at the Au- gustinian Monastery in Staré Brno. The adults who surrounded him there were mostly monks, including his music teacher Pavel Křížkovský; on the few occa- sions he managed to get away it was to stay with his priest-uncle Jan Janáček, who took over responsibility for him after the death of his father in 1866. It was at the Augustinian Monastery, presumably, that he was confirmed into the Catholic Church. If there is doubt about this it is only because of the lack of documen- tation.4 Janáček was due to be confirmed on the eve of his thirteenth birthday in June 1867, but in a letter to Jan Janáček he announced that he should have ‘gone for holy confirmation’, but ‘since I had no clothes, again I couldn’t go.’5 1 LJ to Ludvík Kundera (Prague, 8 February 1928; reproduced in Bohumír Štědroň: Leoš Janá- ček v obrazech [Leoš Janáček in pictures] (Státní pedagogické nakladatelství, Prague, 1982), 43.
