She currently works as a choir accompanist at Benton United Methodist Church and serves as Assistant Music Director at Liberty Baptist Church. Program Notes Ingolf Dahl (1912-1970) was an American composer, conductor, pianist, and music educator. Born in Europe, he was the assistant conductor of the Zurich Opera and served as the organization’s opera chorus vocal coach. Dahl left his native Germany in 1939 for the United States during the rise of the Nazi Party due to his Jewish ancestry. He settled in Los Angeles with other European expatriate musicians including Milhaud, Stravinsky, and Schoenberg making a living as a concert pianist and working in several Hollywood studio ensembles for the movie industry, most notably for Rod Sterling’s The Twilight Zone (1959) and Kubrick’s Spartacus (1960). In 1945 he joined the faculty at the University of Southern California, where he taught for the rest of his life. Dahl is one of the founding members of the Ojai Music Festival (in partnership with Aaron Copland). Dahl’s most famous work is the Concerto for Alto Saxophone (1949). Commissioned and premiered by famous saxophonist Sigurd Raschèr, this work was originally composed with a concert band accompaniment; later in 1959 it was revised for a smaller wind ensemble part. The work is influenced by his growing relationship with Igor Stravinsky, so the initial draft makes use of a lot of characteristics of the Neo-Classical movement. In later revisions, Dahl had embraced serial compositional techniques, so the concerto features a unique blend of these two styles. The revision also resulted in Dahl shortening the work from the original length. Dahl’s music style reflects his sense of humor while maintaining a high level of technique in performance. The third movement is labelled “Rondo alla Marcia,” follows the form ABACA Coda, and is in the key of Eb Major. The key is significant because the other two movements are in G, and there is an emphasis of third relationships throughout the entire work. Max Bruch (1838-1920) was a German conductor and prolific composer of over two hundred works. His works are complex and well-structured in the German Romantic tradition which meant that he spent much of his career overshadowed by his friend Johannes Brahms. His first violin concerto is by far his most famous work. A first draft was written in 1866 and premiered by violinist Otto von Königslow, and then the work was considerably revised with help from celebrated violinist Joseph Joachim (who also premiered the revision).

  • Selections from Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola and Piano, Op. 83 Max Bruch
    concerto for two pianos, various chamber pieces, songs, three operas and much choral music. Bruch composed his Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola and Piano, Op. 83 in 1909, in his seventieth year, for his son Max Felix, a talented clarinetist who also inspired a Double Concerto (Op. 88) for his instrument and viola from his father two years later. When the younger Bruch played the works in Cologne and Hamburg, Fritz Steinbach reported favorably on the event to the composer, comparing Max Felix’s ability with that of Richard Mühlfeld, the clarinetist who had inspired two sonatas, a quintet and a trio from Johannes Brahms two decades before. Clarinet and viola are here evenly matched, singing together in duet or conversing in dialogue, while the piano serves as an accompanimental partner. Bruch intended that the Eight Pieces be regarded as a set of independent miniatures of various styles rather than as an integrated cycle, and advised against playing all of them together in concert. The Pieces (they range from three to six minutes in length) are straightforward in structure — binary (A-B) or ternary (A-B-A) for the first six, compact sonata form for the last two — and are, with one exception (No. 7), all in thoughtful minor keys. Though Bruch was fond of incorporating folk music into his concert works, only the Romanian Melody (No. 5, Selections from Eight Pieces suggested to him, he said, by “the delightful young princess zu Wied” at one of his Sunday open-houses; he dedicated the work to her) shows such for Clarinet, Viola and Piano, Op.

Rockwood Doctor of Philosophy School of Music and Dance June 2017 Title: Form, Style, and Influence in the Chamber Music of Antonin Dvořák The last thirty years have seen a resurgence in the research of sonata form. One groundbreaking treatise in this renaissance is James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy’s 2006 monograph Elements of Sonata Theory : Norms, Types, and Deformations in the Late-Eighteenth- Century Sonata. Hepokoski and Darcy devise a set of norms in order to characterize typical happenings in a late 18 th -century sonata. Subsequently, many theorists have taken these norms (and their deformations) and extrapolate them to 19 th -century sonata forms.

  • “The Art of Writing Program Notes, Demonstrated Here by David Daniels’ Delightful Notes for CSD’S 2015-16 Opening Concerts!”
    “The art of writing program notes, demonstrated here by David Daniels’ delightful notes for CSD’s 2015-16 opening concerts!” ~ Pauline Martin Max Bruch (1838-1920) from Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola, & Piano, op. 83 Andante Allegro agitato Andante con moto Allegro vivace ma non troppo Max Felix Bruch was the son of the celebrated composer Max Christian Friedrich Bruch. The son turned out to be a superb clarinetist—so what's a proud Papa to do? In the case of Max C. F. Bruch, the answer was obvious: write a piece for your prodigious son! It turned out to be eight pieces, in fact, composed in 1910 when the father was 72. Max père was a prolific composer of choral music, though in fact, 95 years after his death, it is his concertos and orchestral music that live on in numerous performances. Still, in the characteristically exploratory tradition of Chamber Soloists of Detroit, it is great to hear some little-known gems of chamber music. Aram Khachaturian (1903-1978) Trio for Clarinet, Violin, & Piano Andante con dolore Allegro Moderato Khachaturian's 1932 trio, composed while still a student, was championed by none other than Prokofiev, who arranged for a performance in Paris—and even publication—shortly after it was written. As a young Armenian composer, Khachaturian was caught up in the nationalist spirit of the time, represented most strongly by the Hungarians Bartók and Kodály, who sought to find their national identity and genuine musical style through a study of folk music. Indeed the folk element is strong throughout this trio.

At one time, however, it had the backing of “science,” that is, the bizarre, pseudo-science of eugenics, a collection of ideas used to give “legitimacy” to genocide, hate crimes and euthanasia.
