  • Core Instrumentation of the “Typical” American Community Concert Band: an Approach to Scoring Guidelines for Composers and Arrangers
    Core Instrumentation of the “Typical” American Community Concert Band: An Approach to Scoring Guidelines for Composers and Arrangers Findings based on a 2012 Online survey by Composer/Conductor David Avshalomov, D.M.A 1 Approach In early 2012, after extensive observation of online email threads around the practical challenges of presenting concerts with community bands, the author decided to create and run an open online survey with the goal of gathering a sampling of reasonably reliable statistical information about the “typical” core instrumentation of a community concert band in the US. The definition of community concert band used here begins by distinguishing it from a full- instrumentation concert band or symphonic wind ensemble having all the “outlier/outsize” instruments and generally carrying only one (or perhaps at most two) players per part except for Bb clarinets. In the US these full bands are almost exclusively conservatory, university, college, community college, or advanced/large high school ensembles. Few professional concert bands exist in the US. The definition of community concert band here also excludes marching bands—school, municipal, or private—as these too have a separate and distinct instrumentation profile. Although there are some community concert bands that have fairly full instrumentation, initial observations from the survey results confirm that most, if not all, have what could be characterized as significant gaps by comparison with the “full” symphonic wind ensemble. They also often have much heavier doublings in certain common sections such as flutes and clarinets. GOAL: The intention of the survey was to draw a rough line around a “safe” core scoring, and additionally to define tentative guidelines for the inclusion of instruments outside that line, for composers and arrangers who wish to serve the community concert band population with music targeted to such groups’ strengths, not their weaknesses.

  • Elton John and Billy Joel
    TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: Back To Back - Elton John and Billy Joel GENERAL: In our experience we have for the most part found the house techs/sound companies as provided by host orchestras to be highly competent professionals who know and understand the needs of their orchestra and their performance venue. As such we are comfortable in trusting their recommendation and expertise. Conceptually all Jeans ‘n Classics productions are designed to feature the sound of the orchestra and as such the band and the orchestra should be equally sharing the musical picture as opposed to the orchestra being mixed into the back ground. The following are simply guidelines. MICS - BAND & SINGERS: Lead Vocalist (s) - 1 lead vocal mic required (cordless) - 1 lead vocal mic required (cordless)- Back Up Vocalist (s) - 2 backup vocal mics required (cordless) Band - 1 vocal mic required at piano MICS - ORCHESTRA: Strings - Contact mics on all strings is ideal - If impossible separate mics per player or minimally 1 mic per desk Winds - 1 mic per wind Brass - 1 mic per brass instrument Percussion - Individual mics on the congas/bongos area - Ambient mics on the "toys" for wind chime, tambourine etc, where the player can approach the mic - Individual mics on the vibes/marimbas area - Timpani and bass drums may or may not need ambient mics depending on the venue Special - up front solo violin on "Piano Man" BAND INSTRUMENTS: Electric Bass - Bass player will need DI line, or in some cases may bring his own ears / (Mitch Tyler) mixer and therefore will need a line to the mixer - Bass guitar to be provided: - 4- String Fender Precision (American made preferred) with strap Guitars - 1 DI lines will be required for an acoustic guitar played by lead vocalist from time to time - 2 guitar stands to be provided Piano - Grand piano will be required please.

Anderson would be able to revisit the communal expressive ideal of several recent works for unaccompanied choir in the context of his by now well-established orchestral style, with its characteristic integration of lyrical simplicity and joyous complexity. The solo female voice, meanwhile, suggested a new and often dramatic presence – an individual consciousness at the heart of one of Anderson’s typical evocations of the natural world. Clearly, the choice of texts would be a central decision. Anderson had set poems by Emily Dickinson before, and now found in her visionary eccentricity a compelling expression of nature’s abundance as a kind of secular miracle.

    IMPROVISATION AS A GENERATIVE TOOL FOR NEW OPERA: AN EXPLORATION OF METHODS AND PARAMETERS BY ELLEN LOUISE DENHAM SCHOLARLY ESSAY Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctoral of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Sylvia Stone, Chair Professor Erik Lund, Director of Research Associate Professor Katherine Syer Assistant Professor Michael Tilley ABSTRACT This scholarly essay explores the subject of improvisation in opera and vocal music, tracing its historical antecedents, providing examples of contemporary, classically-informed improvising singers and opera companies, and presenting an overview of possible methods and parameters. Chapter 1 examines the historical background of extemporaneous counterpoint in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the flourishing of improvised ornaments and embellishments from the Baroque era to the bel canto style of the nineteenth century, and the eventual decline in the use of improvised ornaments and cadenzas in the late nineteenth century. Chapter 2 covers first the subject of contemporary improvisation, including experimental techniques from the 1950s and 1960s, with reference to the use of improvisatory elements in composed scores. The second area involves a discussion of singer-composers Cathy Berberian, Meredith Monk, Pamela Z, and Bobby McFerrin. The third area explores current opera creators and performers using improvisation, focusing on the improv-comedy-based groups Impropera and La Donna Improvvisata, and two “devised operas”: Ann Baltz’s OperaWorks production of The Discord Altar, and Ellen Lindquist’s dream seminar. Much of this newer material has yet to be the subject of much scholarship.

  • International Conducting Studies Conference 2018 21St – 23Rd June St Anne’S College University of Oxford
    International Conducting Studies Conference 2018 21st – 23rd June St Anne’s College University of Oxford International Conducting 2018 Studies Conference 21-23 June, St Anne’s College WELCOME It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to St Anne’s College and the Oxford Conducting Institute International Conducting Studies Conference 2018. The conference brings together 40 speakers from around the globe, presenting on a wide range of topics that demonstrate the rich and multifaceted realm of conducting studies. The discipline of conducting is at the core of a multitude of global musical endeavours, continually shaping musical practices and experiences in substantial ways. Scholars and practitioners have explored, and continue to explore, historical, philosophical, social and psychological aspects of conducting across a wide range of practices; The OCIICSC 2018 aims to bring together these diverse perspectives in the pursuit of a shared and more cohesive knowledge. While professional organizations and educational institutions have worked to develop the field through conducting master-classes and conferences focused on professional development, and academic researchers have sought to explicate various aspects of conducting through focussed studies, researchers and practitioners are rarely in dialogue about these findings and experiences. The OCIICSC 2018 seeks to redress this by continuing the conversation fostered at the 2016 conference, again bringing together practitioners and researchers to participate in productive and scholarly dialogue. We hope that this conference will provide a fruitful exchange of ideas and again serve as a catalyst for the further development of the topic of Conducting Studies. The OCI International Conducting Studies Conference 2018 Committee Dr Cayenna Dr John Traill Prof.
