  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

FREE ADMISSION Dear friends, Last fall, Third Coast Baroque’s debut series ¡Sarabanda! focused on examining the African and Latin American folk music roots of the sarabande. Today, we will be following the paths of the chaconne, passacaglia and other ostinato rhythms – with origins similar to the sarabande – as they spread across Europe during the 17th century. With this program that we are calling Groove!, we present those intoxicating rhythms in the fashion and flavor of the different countries where they gained popularity. The great European composers wrote masterpieces using the rhythms of these ancient dances to create immortal pieces of art, but their weight and significance is such that we tend to forget where their origins lie. Bach, Couperin, and Purcell – to name only a few – wrote music for highly sophisticated institutions. Still, through these dance rhythms, they were searching for something similar to what the more ancient civilizations had been striving to attain: a connection to the spiritual world.

  • Cameron Burgess - Clarinet BBM Youth Support Report - June 2013
    Cameron Burgess - Clarinet BBM Youth Support Report - June 2013 My trip to the UK was an incredibly rewarding and exciting experience. In my lessons I gained a wealth of information and ideas on how to perform British clarinet repertoire, and many different approaches and concepts to improve my technique, which I have found invaluable in my development as a musician. I was also able to collect a vast amount of data on Frederick Thurston, who is the focal point of my honours thesis. Much of this information I probably would not have discovered had it not been for my trip to the UK. I was also fortunate enough to attend numerous concerts by the London Symphony Orchestra, Halle Orchestra, London Chamber Orchestra and Southbank Sinfonia, as well as visit London’s many galleries and museums. After arriving in the UK I traveled from Manchester to London for my first lesson, which was with the Principal of the Royal College of Music and renowned Mozart scholar, Professor Colin Lawson. Much of my time in this lesson was devoted to Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto. I had been fortunate enough to attend a master class given by Professor Lawson at the Sydney Conservatorium in 2010 and had gained some ideas on how to interpret the work, however this was expanded on greatly, and my ideas and concepts on how to perform the work completely changed. As well as this we spent some time discussing my thesis topic, how it could potentially be improved and what new ideas I could also include. Professor Lawson also very generously provided me with some incredibly useful literature on Thurston, published for his centenary celebration, which is no longer in print.
