    AN ANALYSIS OF HONEGGER’S CELLO CONCERTO (1929): A RETURN TO SIMPLICITY? Denika Lam Kleinmann, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2014 APPROVED: Eugene Osadchy, Major Professor Clay Couturiaux, Minor Professor David Schwarz, Committee Member Daniel Arthurs, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies James Scott, Dean of the School of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kleinmann, Denika Lam. An Analysis of Honegger’s Cello Concerto (1929): A Return to Simplicity? Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2014, 58 pp., 3 tables, 28 examples, 33 references, 15 titles. Literature available on Honegger’s Cello Concerto suggests this concerto is often considered as a composition that resonates with Les Six traditions. While reflecting currents of Les Six, the Cello Concerto also features departures from Erik Satie’s and Jean Cocteau’s ideal for French composers to return to simplicity. Both characteristics of and departures from Les Six examined in this concerto include metric organization, thematic and rhythmic development, melodic wedge shapes, contrapuntal techniques, simplicity in orchestration, diatonicism, the use of humor, jazz influences, and other unique performance techniques.

  • Board of Officers Room Veterans Room
    ABOUT PARK AVENUE ARMORY 2017 RECITAL SERIES and ARTISTS STUDIO The Recital Series and Artists Studio series provide a range of performances in which contemporary artists engage with audiences on a level of intimacy that is unprecedented in conventional concert halls and performance spaces today. The programs offer artists the opportunity to respond to the context and character of two of the most important historic interiors in the country, the Board of Officers Room and the Veterans Room, complementing the institution’s groundbreaking productions in the soaring Wade Thompson Drill Hall and providing audiences experiences with artists from around the globe. Presented in the glorious salon setting of the Board of Officers Room, the acclaimed Recital Series offers audiences the opportunity to experience chamber music as it was originally intended. Launched in 2013 with the revitalization of the room, the series showcases musicians performing a range of classical and contemporary works. The 2017 series includes both established and emerging opera performers and musicians in a range of programs reflective of their individual artistry. The Artists Studio, curated by MacArthur “Genius” Jason Moran, launched in March 2016 alongside the inauguration of the revitalized Veterans Room, a collaboration amongst some of the most talented emerging designers of the time— including Louis C. Tiffany, Stanford White, and others. The series takes inspiration from the exuberant design of the room and experimental spirit of the designers who conceived it. Drawing from the variety of cultures and styles visible in the space, this season explores global influences in contemporary music with performances by musicians, composers, and artists who infuse their work with references and source material from around the world—from Japan, India, and West Africa to the American South and Harlem.

  • Guitarist Sharon Isbin Packs NEO Debut with Music of Personal, Historic Significance (Preview)
    Guitarist Sharon Isbin packs NEO debut with music of personal, historic significance (preview) Updated Nov 3, 2017; Posted Nov 3, 2017 Guitarist Sharon Isbin is set to make her Northeast Ohio debut Nov. 4 with a concert for the Cleveland Classical Guitar Society. She'll be joined by local guitarist and former student Colin Davin. (J Henry Fair) By Zachary Lewis, The Plain Dealer ​ CLEVELAND, Ohio - Prepare to be moved, to witness a display of guitar's power to shape and connect lives. From the first note played this weekend by guest artist Sharon Isbin to the last chord strummed by students next spring, the remainder of the Cleveland Classical Guitar Society's 2017-18 season will serve as living proof that music matters both inside the ​ ​ concert hall and out. With so much in store this season, "I'm really on top of the world," said Erik Mann, executive director of the society. "I'm really excited about the future." Start with Isbin, the first artist on this year's International Series. Not only is the guitar heroine making her Cleveland debut in the company of her former student Colin Davin, to Mann's enormous delight. She's performing music rich with personal and historical significance. Most in Isbin's position would simply show up and play whatever happens to be of interest at the moment. Not Isbin. For Cleveland, she's planned an eclectic slate of composers she knows or knew personally, some of whose lives and work were affected by authoritarian governments. "It's an interesting collection of composers, all of them united by Fascism," Isbin said, alluding to Rodrigo, Granados, and De Falla, the principal figures behind her latest recording, "Alma Espanola." "They're such a robust part of the music that I play, and it's important to be celebrating them now." Granados lost his life during World War I.
