ASUM campaigns getting under way By Michael David Thomas Staff Writer If the deluge of posters plastered all over the University Center weren’t an indication, cam­ paigning for ASUM elections began Monday. On March 31, all ASUM candidates will run in a primary to bring the number of candidates to two per office, bringing the number of senatorial candidates down from 56 to 40. The primary will be held in the UC from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. General elections will be held for ASUM sena­ tors, president, vicepresidentand business man­ ager on April 14 and 15, Annie Thorgrimson, ASUM Elections Com­ mittee chair, said that a primary was necessary to bring the number of senatorial candidates down to a manageable level. A public forum for senate and executive officer candidates is planned to be held in the UC, March 24 and 25, respectively. Thorgrimson said the forum is supposed to be a way for the candidates to introduce themselves to the student body and answer questions from the audience. She said the forum was scheduled to begin at noon, but there was a conflict with the UC administration’s scheduling. She said they would try to start at 1 p.m. instead.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

  • Harpsichordist Igor Kipnis Performs
    Harpsichordist Igor Kipnis performs April 24, 1970 Harpsichordist Igor Kipnis, internationally known through his recitals, solo appearances with major symphonies, and his recordings, is scheduled to perform at 8:30 p.m., Saturday, May 9, in Sherwood Hall, La Jolla. The concert is sponsored by the University of California, San Diego's Committee for Arts and Lectures. Reserved seats are $3.00 for general admission, $2.50 for UCSD faculty and staff, and $1.50 for UCSD students. Tickets may be reserved by calling the UCSD Box Office at 453-6151. Kipnis, son of the famous Metropolitan Opera basso Alexander Kipnis, has been associated with music ever since his boyhood in the 1930's, receiving his first piano lessons from his grandfather, the Chicago composer Heniot Levy. It was at Harvard University, where he graduate in 1952, that Kipnis became fascinated by the harpsichord and music of the Baroque period. At Harvard, under the tutelage of the American composer Randall Thompson, and later under Thurston Dart and others, Kipnis made an extensive study of Renaissance and Baroque styles and is now a recognized authority in this field. Kipnis' debut as a harpsichordist was made in 1959 over New York City's municipal radio station WNYC and his first New York solo recital followed in 1961 at the New York Historical Society. Since that time he has appeared in concert and lecture recitals throughout the United States and has performed with many orchestras including the Boston Symphony, the Symphony of the Air, the Brooklyn Philharmonic, the Princeton Chamber Orchestra, the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, and the Clarion Concerts Orchestra in New York City among others.

  • The Harpsichord: a Research and Information Guide
    THE HARPSICHORD: A RESEARCH AND INFORMATION GUIDE BY SONIA M. LEE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Charlotte Mattax Moersch, Chair and Co-Director of Research Professor Emeritus Donald W. Krummel, Co-Director of Research Professor Emeritus John W.

It is intended to serve as a guide and as a reference manual for anyone researching the harpsichord or harpsichord related topics, including harpsichord making and maintenance, historical and contemporary harpsichord repertoire, as well as performance practice. This guide is not meant to be comprehensive, but rather to provide a user-friendly resource on the subject. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my dissertation advisers Professor Charlotte Mattax Moersch and Professor Donald W. Krummel for their tremendous help on this project. My gratitude also goes to the other members of my committee, Professor John W. Hill and Professor Heidi Von Gunden, who shared with me their knowledge and wisdom.

"The Piano: An Encyclopedia was selected in its first edition as a Choice Outstanding Book and remains a fascinating and unparalleled reference work. The instrument has been at the center of music history with even composers of large symphonic work assert- ing that they do not write anything without sketching it out first on a piano. Its limitations and expressive capacity have done much to shape the contours of the western musical idiom. Within the scope of this user-friendly guide is everything from the acoustics and construction of the piano to the history of the companies that have built them."

  • Organ Festivals in Australia 1968—1973
    ‘A strange madness’: Organ festivals in Australia 1968–1973 Ann Orriss Blore Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music July 2011 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne ii Abstract In the six years 1968–1973 seventeen pipe organ festivals were held across four Australian cities, a phenomenon that had not occurred elsewhere. This thesis considers the activities of the small number of people who drove the festivals’ establishment, the newly-built ‘neoclassical’ organs and harpsichords that were integral to the festivals’ success, and the circumstances that brought these agents for change together. The period studied here was one of considerable movement— political, social, technological and musical. This thesis shows that the festivals were part of a wider generational push to embrace ‘the new’ in diverse areas. They resulted from a development of new interests among a disparate group of specialists, which fortuitously converged with those of an isolated but developing audience for ‘new’ musical experiences. Until the 1960s the organ in Australia was relatively isolated from mainstream music, its role mainly confined to liturgical functions. However in Europe the organ was undergoing considerable change as part of the organ reform movement that stimulated a reconsideration of organ building, taking into account the principles on which the historic instruments of the eighteenth century were constructed. Importantly, the organ reform movement also linked with and formed part of the concurrent early music movement. By the 1960s, sound recordings had made newly discovered historic instruments and their repertoire accessible to most Australian musicians and music lovers for the first time.
