Kaneko has participated in numerous summer music festivals such as Piano Texas, Bowdoin International Music Festival, Academie Boulanger in Gargenville, France and finally in PianoSummer at New Paltz, directed by Vladimir Feltsman. His current mentor, Dr. Robert Roux, has praised him as a young artist with “prodigious technique, fire-eating virtuosity, and compelling, soulful musicality.” 2 Samuel Barber 1910-1981 American 20th century composer born in 1910 in West Chester, Pennsylvania Started studying piano at age 6 and began composing at age 7 Barber had an aunt who was a singer at the New York Metropolitan Opera and an uncle who composed art songs At age 14, he began studying at the Curtis Institute of Music Composed opera, choral pieces, orchestral pieces and piano music Won 2 Pulitzer Prizes for music composition Was good friends with fellow composer, Menotti Most known for his Adagio for Strings, which is used often in movie soundtracks Much of his music uses literary terms to express the form Essay #1 Essay #1 is an orchestral piece written in 1 movement First premiered on a 1938 radio broadcast by the NBC Orchestra Barber’s Adagio for Strings was premiered on the same broadcast It was written during a time when Modernism was used in most new compositions, but this work is written in a neo-romantic style (a “new” form of music like that written during the Romantic Period) Although the piece is not programmatic (telling a story), it does follow a strong structure (like writing an essay) Barber used artistic harmonies in the work by stretching or extending the harmonies to create dissonance It exhibits strong rhythmic content 3 Samuel Barber CROSSWORD PUZZLE 4 Edvard Grieg 1843-1907 Grieg was a Romantic Period composer from Norway born in 1843 Started playing the piano at age 6 At 16, he began studying piano and composition at the Leipzig Conservatory Grieg was a concert pianist He often used Norwegian folk music in his compositions When a composer uses the folk music of his home country in his compositions, that is called writing “Nationalistic” music…because it represents the music of the composer’s home nation Well known for the music he composed for the play “Peer Gynt” by Ibsen “In the Hall of the Mountain King is a very famous piece from “Peer Gynt” He composed the Piano Concerto in 1868 Grieg died in 1907 after a long illness Piano Concerto in A-minor The Piano Concerto in A minor was the only piano concerto Grieg composed It was written while on holiday in Denmark with his family in 1868 While visiting the composer Liszt, Grieg allowed Liszt to see the concerto, who liked the concerto very much Liszt even gave Grieg some advise as to how to orchestrate the concerto The piano concerto is one of Grieg’s most famous works The work is written in 3 movements Musicologists feel that it was influenced by Robert Schumann’s piano concerto which he had heard, Clara Schumann perform while he was studying in Leipzig The intervals of the opening line of music are typical of Norwegian folk music It was the first piano concerto to ever be recorded and is often used in movie soundtracks Grieg was 24 when he wrote the Piano Concerto 5 Grieg Piano Concerto The Piano Concerto in A Minor by Edvard Grieg was a composition of many firsts. It was his first and ONLY piano concerto to compose and it was the first piano concerto to ever be recorded!! But before you can record a piece of music, you must first know how to play it.

A = INDIGO B =VIOLET C = RED D = ORANGE E = YELLOW F = GREEN G = BLUE 7 Anton Dvorak 1841-1904 Anton Dvorak was born in a small village in Bohemia, now known as the Czech Republic. He was 1 of 7 children. He began to study music at the age of 6. When he was older, he studied music in Prague. He became an accomplished violinist & violist. He played viola for the Bohemian Provisional Theater Orchestra but had to begin teaching to raise funds. While he was teaching he fell in love with a student. It was for this student that he composed the song cycle Cypress Trees. He finally quit teaching so that he could spend more time composing music. In 1892 he moved to the United States of America so that he could head the National Conservatory of Music in New York. Dvorak died in 1904. The Golden Spinning Wheel The Golden Spinning Wheel is an orchestral work written and premiered in 1896. This work is a symphonic tone poem, which means that is it a piece of music for the orchestra that has the same purpose as a poem…to tell a story. This is called “programmatic.” This piece was based on a poem found in the “Kytice,” a book of folk-ballads by Erben. As this is a programmatic piece, it tells a story…and here is the story it tells: “Once upon a time, there was a king riding through the forest. He saw and immediately fell in love with a beautiful young girl named, Donicka. Donicka lived with her step-mother and step-sister. The king requested that the step-mother bring Donicka to the castle so that he could marry her. The step-mother said yes and the king left. As the step-mother and the step-sister were bringing her to the castle, they became jealous and killed her. When they got to the castle, the step-sister pretended to be Donicka so that she could marry the king. After the wedding, the king had to leave to go into battle…never knowing that it was not Donicka that he had married. Back in the forest, a magician found the remains of Donicka and decided to bring her back to life. He sent a servant to the castle to tell the step-sister that he would give her a magic golden spinning wheel in exchange for her feet, hands and eyes. These were the things the magician needed to bring Donicka back to life. The step-sister accepted the offer, not knowing that the spinning wheel was enchanted. The magician brought Donicka back to life. Upon the king’s return from battle, the enchanted spinning wheel told the king everything that had happened and that the magician and Donicka were waiting for him in the forest. He went into the forest and found his beloved Donicka. And they lived…..happily ever after.” 8 Anton Dvorak The Golden Spinning Wheel Activity Dvorak’s orchestral work, The Golden Spinning Wheel was written to tell the story of the folk tale mentioned above. If you were a composer, what folk tale would you use as inspiration for your orchestral composition? Use the lines below to tell your story, then use the checklist on the next page to describe the music you would write. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ 9 The Golden Spinning Wheel Activity (Grades 6-12) A person who writes the music we listen to is called a composer. When a composer sits down to write or compose a piece of music, they have many decisions to make: For whom am I going to write this music? What sounds do I want to use? Is it a vocal piece or an instrumental piece? Will it tell a story like the GOLDEN SPINNING WHEEL does? Is there a particular mood or emotion you would like to express to your listeners? Use the explanations below to help you discover what YOUR MUSIC would sound like if YOU were a composer.

  • Chambermusic
    American Masterpieces Chamber Music Samuel Barber, circa 1960 The Some of the composer’s best-known Chamber works for small ensemble, written in his youth, entered the repertoire early and remained there. Music of by Barbara Heyman oncert audiences know Samuel Barber for his large-scale orchestral works—the Overture to The School for Scandal, Cthe violin and cello concertos, Knoxville: Summer of 1915, the symphonies, and the three Essays. His chamber music oeuvre is small, but some of these works remain favorites in the repertoire. String players revere the String Quartet in B Minor, Dover Beach, and the Cello Sonata. And wind players know that Barber’s penchant for writing solos for flute, clarinet, and oboe (his signature instrument) Samuel in orchestral works also expresses itself in such small-scale works as Summer Music, Capricorn Concerto, and the 1959 Elegy for Flute and Piano. In recent years I have been assembling a complete thematic catalog of Barber’s works, and in the process have come across some early, unpublished ensemble works that few are familiar with. Among these, the most important is certainly the third movement of Barber’s Sonata in F minor for Violin and Piano, rediscovered in 2006. Masquerading under the title page Sonata for Violoncello and Piano, the music turned up in the estate of the Barber Pennsylvania artist Tom Bostell, who had been a boarder in the Barber family’s West Chester, Pennsylvania, home. When asked to view the 17 pages of manuscript, I recognized the first three pages as those that were missing from the autograph manuscript of the Cello Sonata at the Library of Congress.

Edited slightly, omitting some detail, nothing new is added to Sam’s text. Perhaps a little long for a program note, but it is both fascinating and enlightening: “In the summer of 1955 the NYWQ played a concert in Blue Hill, Maine. It was a Sunday afternoon, and a very quiet, sunny, and summery day. Unbeknownst to us, Samuel Barber came to this concert. A few days afterwards, he called John Barrows in NY. (I should mention here that our personnel at that period was Jerome Roth, oboe, David Glazer, clarinet, Bernard Garfield, bassoon, John Barrows, horn, and your humble self on flute).

Jon Holloway is a student ofBill Bernatis. Saturday, March 2, 2013 8:00p.m. Dr. Arturo Rando-Grillot Recital Hall Lee and Thomas Beam Music Center University of Nevada, Las Vegas Written in the winter of 1882-1883, Concerto No.1 for hom was completed when Strauss was just 19 years of age. However, Strauss was no stranger to the hom. His father, Franz, was one of Germany's most famous hom players, and was not only one of Wagner's favorite hom players, but was also principal hom in the Munich Court Orchestra. Richard wrote this piece while attending university in Munich, and it is a playful, romantic style concerto. This is quite the contrast from his later works, which are more influenced by the Wagnerian style. This piece directly follows the traditional European concerto style of three movements ending in a rondo. However, unlike others, the concerto starts with a chord from the orchestra followed directly by the first fanfare from the hom.

NOVEMBER 22 & 23, 2019 33 ABOUT THE WORKS Occasionally, the quiet tension is disturbed by the brass and winds, their discordant passages erupting into hair-raising orchestral swells. Cindy McTee Out of the resolution of The Unquestioned Double Play for Orchestra Answer emerges the sound of wood blocks, (Canadian Première) which McTee likens to “the sounds of several pendulum clocks ticking at different speeds”: Born: Tacoma, Washington, USA, the beginning of Tempus Fugit (Time Flies). The Feb 20, 1953 pace accelerates until it stabilizes, on a driving Composed: 2010 17 rhythm that McTee says is borrowed from min Slatkin’s Fin for orchestra. The strings soon join in, with fast-moving repeated motives, on top of which winds and brass interject with “A charging, churning celebration of the rhythms and harmonies referencing bebop musical and cultural energy of modern-day jazz. Hi-hat and cowbells, amongst a large America,” says the Houston Chronicle, in array of other percussion, add timbres evoking describing the music of American composer machine metal, the soundscape of industry.
