Jose Serebrier established himself as a significant composer very early in his career. He was just 17 when Leopold Stokowski gave the world premiere of his Symphony No.1, and soon after started to gain notoriety also as a conductor. His dual career has been honored with 36 Grammy Award nominations, and the Latin Grammy award for Best Classical Recording as conductor. Born in Montevideo, Uruguay of Russian and Polish parents, Serebrier was awarded a Koussevitzky Foundation Award at Tanglewood and a BMI Young Composers Award for his Symphony No.1 and Saxophone Quartet. He received a U.S. State Department Fellowship to study composition at the Curtis Institute of Music with Vittorio Giannini and with Aaron Copland at Tanglewood. Awarded two consecutive Guggenheim Fellowships at 19 and 20, he remains the youngest to have ever obtained these awards in any field. Following graduation from Curtis, Serebrier studied at the University of Minnesota, where he received his M.A. in composition. He was awarded two Dorati Fellowships, a Pan American Union Publication Award (for Elegy for Strings), and the Ford Foundation American Conductors Project Award. Subsequent awards for his compositions include a Rockefeller Foundation award (for an extended residency with the Cleveland Orchestra); a Harvard Musical Association Commission Award (for Fantasia for string quartet); and a National Endowment for the Arts Commission (Orpheus x Light, a ballet for the Joffrey Ballet). Serebrier was 22 years old when Leopold Stokowski named him Associate Conductor of the newly formed American Symphony Orchestra in New York, a post he held for four years. Stokowski conducted the first New York performance of Serebrier's Elegy for Strings at Carnegie Hall, and he opened the American Symphony Orchestra season at Carnegie Hall with the premiere of Serebrier's Poema Elegiaco, the second movement of Symphony No.2: Partita. For two consecutive seasons, George Szell named Jose Serebrier Composer-in­ Residence ofthe Cleveland Orchestra. While in that position, he brought new elements to his compositions. His harp concerto Colores Magicos for the Inter-American Music Festival in Washington D.C. and Nueve, a concerto for double bass and orchestra commissioned for the double bass virtuoso Gary Karr, both incorporated imaginative staging. Serebrier has conducted Karr in performances ofNueve all over the world. Also from this period is the dramatic Symphonyfor Percussion, which was recorded by John Eliot Gardiner. Serebrier's Violin Concerto: Winter was premiered by Michael Guttman in New York in 1995 and recorded on ASV. His Symphony No.3 for string orchestra and soprano vocalise, nominated for a Grammy in 2004 as Best Composition of the Year, has been released on Naxos along with a number of his other works for strings. More recently, he has revisited his Uruguayan youth by writing Tango in Blue and Almost a Tango for orchestra (both recorded on BIS) - lighter works using rhythms and melodic turns of Latin American popular music. Tango in Blue, in fact, comes full circle: its first four notes quote the last four from his early Partita. Flute Concerto with Tango was commissioned by the BIS record label for Sharon Bezaly, who perfonned it on tour in Australia and recorded it with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, directed by Richard Tognetti and produced by Robert Suff. The first movement establishes itself without introduction, with a rhythmic punch similar in character to the first movement ofmy Symphony No.3. The technical fireworks are interrupted by a highly lyrical section, providing a short-lived respite before the movement ends in a flurry. The second movement opens with a cadenza - a long, quasi-improvisational dissertation - followed by a fast, virtuoso section for the flute, with the orchestra providing punctuation. Fantasia, the rhapsodic third movement, features the wann, wonderful low register of the alto flute in long, singing lines. After becoming more intense and dramatic, the movement concludes with a quiet coda. The fourth movement justifies the title of the work. Traditionally, tangos end with a strong dominant chord followed by a brief, barely audible tonic chord. I take this idea further, leaving my tango up in the air in the middle of a phrase, so that the listener can make his own conclusion. The tango's interlude of slow, lyrical passages gives way to the final Allegro movement, when soloist and orchestra are again off to the races. A virtuosic Presto section ends the work with a flourish ofpyrotechnics. - Jose Serebrier Flute Concerto with Tango, Sharon Bezaly, flute, and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Richard Tognetti, Leader and Artistic Director, is recorded on BIS-CD-1789..

  • An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru
    Flute Repertoire from Japan: An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru Hayashi, and Akira Tamba D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel Ryan Gallagher, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Arved Ashby Dr. Caroline Hartig Professor Karen Pierson 1 Copyrighted by Daniel Ryan Gallagher 2019 2 Abstract Despite the significant number of compositions by influential Japanese composers, Japanese flute repertoire remains largely unknown outside of Japan. Apart from standard unaccompanied works by Tōru Takemitsu and Kazuo Fukushima, other Japanese flute compositions have yet to establish a permanent place in the standard flute repertoire. The purpose of this document is to broaden awareness of Japanese flute compositions through the discussion, analysis, and evaluation of substantial flute sonatas by three important Japanese composers: Ikuma Dan (1924-2001), Hikaru Hayashi (1931- 2012), and Akira Tamba (b. 1932). A brief history of traditional Japanese flute music, a summary of Western influences in Japan’s musical development, and an overview of major Japanese flute compositions are included to provide historical and musical context for the composers and works in this document. Discussions on each composer’s background, flute works, and compositional style inform the following flute sonata analyses, which reveal the unique musical language and characteristics that qualify each work for inclusion in the standard flute repertoire. These analyses intend to increase awareness and performance of other Japanese flute compositions specifically and lesser- known repertoire generally.

  • Classics 1 Program Notes
    Classics 1: Program Notes The Sights and Sounds of Stockton: Cityscape John Wineglass and San Joaquin Delta College media students In accordance with its mission to inspire joy and build community through music—and with the aim of generating community pride and awareness through art—the Stockton Symphony teamed up with award-winning composer John Wineglass and San Joaquin Delta College media students under the direction of Adriana Brogger and Kirstyn Russell to create a project titled The Sights and Sounds of Stockton. The Delta College media students, all of whom are from the area and live in the various quadrants of our city, fanned out into the community to gather pictures and videos of their daily environment. They brought the raw footage to class and collaborated to edit the “sights” of Stockton into a feature approximately ten to twelve minutes long. Wineglass visited Stockton several times to get a feel for the area, and he worked with the students on the overall scope of the project as well as details of compilation to achieve a compelling outcome. He then composed the accompanying symphonic score for tonight’s live performance with the Stockton Symphony. This week he has also been meeting with composition students to discuss the composition process and how a composer works with visual components, and he engaged in a public forum with students and members of our community to discuss his work on this project. Winner of three Daytime Emmy Awards and recipient of four additional Emmy nominations, John Wineglass has performed on five continents, before five U.S.

  • Flute: Late Style in Carl Nielsen’S Works for Flute
    THE “ARCADIAN” FLUTE: LATE STYLE IN CARL NIELSEN’S WORKS FOR FLUTE A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2004 by Beth E. Chandler B.M., Baylor University, 1993 M.M., New England Conservatory, 1996 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Revered as Denmark’s most celebrated musical figure and regarded as one of the finest, albeit under recognized composers, Carl Nielsen (1865–1931) holds a place as one of the most individual and creative artists of his time. Straddling the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and with consideration to the dramatically changing musical climate of that time, Nielsen’s vast output is stylistically complex. His music spans an array of styles, with elements of Romanticism in his early works, to an outright rejection of these same principles and an adoption of extensive progressivism in later works, all the while maintaining features of neoclassicism. There are six known works by Carl Nielsen that include flute in a solo or chamber role. These works date from his late, mature compositional period and include a short piece for solo flute from the incidental music to Aladdin, Op. 34 (1918–19); three pieces from the incidental music to Moderen (The mother), Op. 41 (1920): “Taagen letter” (The fog is lifting) for flute and piano or harp, “Børnene spiller” (The children are playing) for solo flute, and “Tro og håb spiller” (Faith and hope are playing) for flute and viola; the Wind Quintet, Op.

  • Hybridity in Flute Music of Four Contemporary Composers
    HYBRIDITY IN FLUTE MUSIC OF FOUR CONTEMPORARY COMPOSERS Yeji Kim A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS December 2012 Committee: Marilyn Shrude, Advisor Robert W. Midden Graduate Faculty Representative Mary Natvig John Sampen © 2012 Yeji Kim All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn Shrude, Advisor Hybridity is a concept that is widely discussed in the field of cultural studies. The term can be applied to anything that exhibits a fusion or mixture of elements and fades the demarcation between the elements. In music it is evident in the fusion of such disparate elements as old and new styles; electronic and acoustic media; Western and non-Western music; audio and visual components; classical and popular music; and the use of quotation. These elements are often combined in works that contribute to a hybrid musical vocabulary with a distinctive style, so that the points of departure are often blurred. Many recently composed works for flute demonstrate hybridity. The purpose of this document is to explore the concept of hybridity as evidenced in the flute works of four contemporary American composers and flutists: Cynthia Folio (b. 1954), Anne La Berge (b. 1955), Janice Misurell-Mitchell (b. 1946), and Maggi Payne (b. 1945). The study examines what brought about their hybrid approach to composition, as well as the relationship between their roles as both creator and presenter of works that demonstrate hybridity. Extensive email interviews, consultation of available sources, and analyses of compositions are the essential research tools.

    College of Fine Arts presents the UNLV Symphony Orchestra Taras Krysa, Music Director and Conductor Zixuan Yan, Flute Grace-Haeun Kim, Piano PROGRAM Concerto for flute and orchestra Carl Nielsen Allegro moderato (1865–1931) Allegretto un poco – Adagio ma non troppo – Allegretto – Poco adagio – Tempo di Marcia Zixuan Yan, flute Ioannis Protopapas, guest conductor INTERMISSION Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Major, Op. 26 Sergei Prokofiev Andante – Allegro (1891–1953) Tema con variazioni Allegro ma non troppo Grace-Haeun Kim, piano Wednesday, April 24, 2019 7:30 p.m. Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall Performing Arts Center University of Nevada, Las Vegas PROGRAM NOTES Danish composer Carl Nielsen wrote his concerto for flute in 1926 after hearing the Copenhagen Wind Quintet rehearse five Years prior, and vowing to write a concerto for each of the musicians. Although his health only allowed him to write this concerto and, one other for clarinet, both pieces are considered international, standard repertoire. The flute concerto’s Paris premiere in October 1926 was completely dedicated to the work, with a temporary ending, and the composer proclaimed it as one of the “greatest experiences” of his life. His ailing health hindered Nielsen the completion of the concerto by a few months; the completed version was performed in Copenhagen in January 1927. Nielsen’s flute concerto is a blend of the composer’s traditional style and the modernist trends of the 1920s, a neoclassical work with a little humor. It took Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev eight years to turn simple sketches into his virtuosic, third piano concerto.
