  • André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry
    pour la cour qu’il créée Zemire et Azor en 1771, où Marmontel parodie La Belle et la Bête. Cette nouvelle œuvre dédiée à Madame Du Barry lui vaut l’admiration de la famille royale, des courtisans puis du public, l’aspect fantastique de l’œuvre attisant la curiosité de l’auditoire, confondu par la mystérieuse scène du tableau magique… Triomphe absolu, et là encore Grétry donne le sentiment de proposer un nouveau type de spectacle. 1773 voit le succès du Magnifique écrit avec Sedaine, suivi de La Rosière de Salency, et surtout du premier “Grand Opéra” de Grétry, représenté à l’Opéra Royal de Versailles pour le Mariage du Comte d’Artois : Céphale et Procris. La nouvelle Reine, Marie-Antoinette, s’est tellement entichée de Grétry qu’elle devient la marraine de sa troisième fille en 1774, justement prénommée Antoinette. En six ans à peine, le jeune liégeois arrivé inconnu à Paris en est devenu le principal compositeur, stipendié par la cour… André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry Mais la représentation d’Iphigénie en Aulide de Gluck, au printemps 1774, est une 1741-1813 déflagration de modernité, et lorsque juste après, Céphale et Procris est présenté à l’Académie Royale de Musique, le public est déçu de son manque d’audace. Grétry est éclipsé par le Chevalier Gluck… La fausse magie en 1775, tièdement accueillie, Né à Liège dans une famille de musiciens, il intègre la maîtrise de la Collégiale Saint- est suivie du rebond des Mariages Samnites en 1776, au moment où les œuvres Denis où son père était premier violon.

  • Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop for Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media
    Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop For Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media Author: Steve Roby Showdate : Feb. 18, 2015 Performance Venue : Yoshi’s Oakland Bay Area legend Dan Hicks performed to a sold-out crowd at Yoshi’s on Wednesday. The audience was made up of his loyal fans (Hicksters) who probably first heard his music on KSAN, Jive 95, back in 1969. At age 11, Hicks started out as a drummer, and was heavily influenced by jazz and Dixieland music, often playing dances at the VFW. During the folk revival of the ‘60s, he picked up a guitar, and would go to hootenannies while attending San Francisco State. Hicks began writing songs, an eclectic mix of Western swing, folk, jazz, and blues, and eventually formed Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks. His offbeat humor filtered its way into his stage act. Today, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Hicks sums up his special genre as “Caucasian hip-hop.” Over four decades later, Hicks still delivers a unique performance, and Wednesday’s show was jammed with many great moments. One of the evenings highlights was the classic “I Scare Myself,” which Hicks is still unclear if it’s a love song when he wrote it back in 1969. “I was either in love, or I’d just eaten a big hashish brownie,” recalled Hicks. Adding to the song’s paranoia theme, back-up singers Daria and Roberta Donnay dawned dark shades while Benito Cortez played a chilling violin solo complete with creepy horror movie sound effects.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.
