His numerous commissions and awards include those from The Lili Boulanger Memorial Award, the Naumberg Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, the Fulbright Fellowship, the Aaron Copland Fund, and National Endowment for the Arts, as well as from the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the New Japan Philharmonic, the Cleveland Orchestra, the New Juilliard Ensemble, and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. His commissioned orchestral tone poem CLOUDS was premiered by the American Composers Orchestra in their Millennium Concert at Carnegie Hall in 2001. His AMATSU KAZE (for soprano and five instruments) was premiered by the New Juilliard Ensemble at the Why Note Festival in Dijon, France. In February 2002, a concert of his choral music was presented by the Westminster Choir College at Princeton, New Jersey. His “An Afternoon on the Perfume River” received its world premiere by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in February of 2004. Sir Neville Marriner and the world-renowned guitar virtuoso Pepe Romero recently recorded his Guitar Concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra. Active in the ballet world, Mr. Chihara was composer-in-residence at the San Francisco Ballet from 1973-1986. While there, he wrote many trailblazing works, including Shin-ju (based on the "lovers' suicide" plays by the great Japanese dramatist Chikamatsu), as well as the first full-length American ballet, The Tempest. In addition to his many concert works, Mr. Chihara has composed scores for over 90 motion pictures and television series. He has worked with such luminaries as directors Sidney Lumet, Louis Malle, Michael Ritchie, and Arthur Penn. His movie credits include Prince of the City, The Morning After, Crossing Delancey, and John Turturro’s Romance and Cigarettes. His works for television include China Beach, Noble House, Brave New World, and 100 Centre Street. Mr. Chihara also served as music supervisor at Buena Vista Pictures (Walt Disney Co.). Also active in the New York musical theatre world, Mr. Chihara served as musical consultant and arranger for Duke Ellington’s Sophisticated Ladies, and was the composer for James Clavell’s Shogun, the Musical. Mr. Chihara’s works have been widely recorded. His compositions appear on many labels including BMG Records, Reference Recordings, CRI, Music and Art, Vox Candide, New World Records, The Louisville Orchestra First Editions Records, and Albany Records. Mr. Chihara is a Professor of Music at New York University. MEET THE COMPOSERS Praised as having the ability to “maintain a highly individual identity without needing to take refuge in pre-post-genre musical silos” (Frank J. Oteri, NewMusicBox), composer Jennifer Bellor writes music that is inspired by personal experiences, text, and imagery. Her music has been presented by Washington National Opera, American Composer’s Orchestra JCOI Readings, Seattle Women’s Jazz Orchestra, Las Vegas Philharmonic, ShoutHouse, and many others in the US and abroad. Bellor’s music draws on a variety of influences, evidenced in her debut album “Stay,” which is a melting pot of different music styles largely based on poetry. Stay was featured on NewMusicBox’s 2016 Staff picks, and her composition Chase the Stars has received critical acclaim not only for its “dazzling eclecticism” combining opera, hip hop and jazz, but also for her singing. No Depression’s Stacey Zering proclaimed: “Bellor’s gorgeously haunting vocals hypnotizes in “Chase the Stars” like a seemingly innocent mermaid who will later capture you with no intentions of bringing you back.” Born and raised in Northern NY, Bellor earned a PhD in music composition at Eastman School of Music, a Master of Music degree in composition at Syracuse University, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in music at Cornell University. The 2016 winner of The American Prize for her composition Chase the Stars, Bellor also has received awards by Elevate Ensemble for Moments Shared, Moments Lost, IAWM Judith Lang Zaimont prize for Skylark Lullaby, Seattle Women’s Jazz Orchestra Composition prize for Noir, and a Downbeat Award for Midnight Swim. Her primary composition teachers included David Liptak, Bob Morris, Andrew Waggoner, Sally Lamb-McCune, and Steven Stucky. She is currently Visiting Lecturer at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she teaches courses in music composition and theory. Please visit www.jenniferbellor.com. Cynthia Lee Wong has attracted international acclaim for her “shamelessly beautiful” music and devotion toward “not only the avant-garde audience, but all classical enthusiasts or indeed all music lovers” (Süddeutsche Zeitung). Wong's creative output encompasses a range of genres, including works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, dance, voice, narrator, musical theatre, and piano improvisation. In 2017, Wong received a Discovery Grant from Opera America to develop her musical comedy No Guarantees with librettist Richard Aellen. From 2013-2015, Wong was the selected composer for New Voices, a multi-organizational initiative through which she received mentorship from Boosey & Hawkes as well as chamber and orchestral commissions from New World Symphony and San Francisco Symphony. Previously, Wong received a 2010 Orpheus Project 440 commission in which her work Memoriam was premiered at Carnegie Hall. Other commissions include pieces for the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra del Teatro Olimpico, Portland Symphony, New York State Music Teachers Association, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, La Jolla Music Society, Tanglewood Music Festival, and the Tokyo String Quartet. Wong graduated from the accelerated 5-year B.M./M.M. program at Juilliard and received her Ph.D. as an Enhanced Chancellor’s Ph.D. Fellow at the Graduate Center at the City of New York. Wong is a composition faculty member at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and serves on the board at the League of Composers, the nation's oldest organization dedicated toward new music.

  • 'Blending the Sacred and the Profane: Paul Chihara's
    Rocke, S 2014, ‘Blending the Sacred and the Profane: Paul Chihara’s Missa Carminum (1975)’, Eras, vol. 16, no.1, pp.59-82 http://artsonline.monash.edu.au/eras/ Blending the Sacred and the Profane: Paul Chihara’s Missa Carminum (1975) Stephanie Rocke (Monash University, Australia) Abstract | Inspired by the idea of Leonard Bernstein’s (1918-1990) controversial theatre piece, Mass (1972), Paul Chihara (b. 1938) was prompted to compose a non-liturgical mass also, but to question religious practice more passively. Whereas secular culture and religious ritual clash in Bernstein’s Mass, Chihara strives for an empathetic blend of the two in Missa Carminum: “Folk Song Mass” (1975). Animated by his love for popularised folk music and informed by his Roman Catholic education, Chihara’s admixture is also the first mass to explicitly parallel physical human love with love of the divine. For Chihara, Missa Carminum “is prima[ri]ily a love song: it is more Eros than Agape!”1 In proposing a broad application of religion to encompass all of everyday life, yet remaining Christian in its caste, Missa Carminum is situated in the later stages of the metamorphosis of the mass. Once an exclusively liturgical musical form, it was appropriated by composers who created religious music explicitly for secular venues from as early as the mid-nineteenth century. Drawing on music analysis and communications with the composer, this article explores Paul Chihara’s reconciliation of the opposing realms of the profane and the sacred in Missa Carminum. It also demonstrates Missa Carminum’s Christian foundations and its erotic aspects.

  • Shakespeare on Film and Television in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress
    SHAKESPEARE ON FILM AND TELEVISION IN THE MOTION PICTURE, BROADCASTING AND RECORDED SOUND DIVISION OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Compiled by Zoran Sinobad January 2012 Introduction This is an annotated guide to moving image materials related to the life and works of William Shakespeare in the collections of the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress. While the guide encompasses a wide variety of items spanning the history of film, TV and video, it does not attempt to list every reference to Shakespeare or every quote from his plays and sonnets which have over the years appeared in hundreds (if not thousands) of motion pictures and TV shows. For titles with only a marginal connection to the Bard or one of his works, the decision what to include and what to leave out was often difficult, even when based on their inclusion or omission from other reference works on the subject (see below). For example, listing every film about ill-fated lovers separated by feuding families or other outside forces, a narrative which can arguably always be traced back to Romeo and Juliet, would be a massive undertaking on its own and as such is outside of the present guide's scope and purpose. Consequently, if looking for a cinematic spin-off, derivative, plot borrowing or a simple citation, and not finding it in the guide, users are advised to contact the Moving Image Reference staff for additional information. How to Use this Guide Entries are grouped by titles of plays and listed chronologically within the group by release/broadcast date.

    One Hundredth Season BEING THERE.. It can make a performance simultaneously electrifying and deeply personal. Clearly, there is no way to quite equal that experience at home. And even though we at Dahlquist design loudspeakers, we have always under- stood this. But being there isn't always possible for us, so we've devel- oped a loudspeaker that puts us almost there. It's called v the Dahlquist DQ-10 Phased Array.' And we're proud that over the years, music lovers have been so impressed with its ability to capture the elusive qualities of classical music that the DQ-10 has itself become a classic. What we've done is to restore the missing third dimension — depth. The DQ-10 gives the music back its substance and form and lets you explore its inner spaces. Subtlety, power, contrast, shading — perhaps even emotion and intent — stand revealed. There's nothing between you and the There are good technical reasons for this and if you write to us at the address below, we'll be glad to tell you about them.
