Begin your preparaon early. Do not wait unl the last week of summer to prepare. 2. Preparing involves, most importantly, knowing the music! Study recordings before you learn the notes. 3. Use Transcribe! to: a. locate and isolate the excerpt within the recording. b. mark up the passage with phrase and measure markers as helpful. c. loop phrases and play along with them. Construct the passage one phrase at a me. d. Work from slow tempi to performance tempi gradually. 4. Make intelligent choices about scks/mallets AND instruments. No two snare drums or pairs of crash cymbals are alike. Choose an instrument and implements that match the character of the passage. 5. On the day of the audion: a. Wear comfortable clothing. Audions are played behind a screen, so no one will see you. b. About 5‐10 minutes before your audion, use the restroom as needed and drink some water. c. On stage, relax! Take a few deep breaths and smile! If you’ve prepared well, you’ll be great! SNARE DRUM 1. Scheherazade, 4th movement (Rimsky-Korsakov) 2. Peter and the Wolf (Prokofiev) 3.

  • Frescobaldi Gesualdo Solbiati
    Frescobaldi Gesualdo Solbiati FRANCESCO GESUALDI Accordion Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583 -1643) If we think of the theatre as a place in which audiences not only perceive with their eyes and ears, but also their deeper feelings, then the work presented in this recording Dal II Libro di Toccate is in many respects theatrical. The explanation lies in the fact that one of Francesco 1. Toccata I 4’42 Gesualdi’s particular gifts as a performer is his ability to produce sounds that conjure 2. Toccata II 4’44 up the action underlying the music, and indeed evoke the spaces in which the events 3. Toccata III, da sonarsi alla Levatione 8’51 take place. This is particularly noteworthy when performance is actually separated 4. Toccata IV, da sonarsi alla Levatione 6’58 from the reality of visualization. 5. Toccata VIII, di Durezze e Ligature 5’01 The synaesthetic experience underlying vision and visionary perception is arguably one of the fundamental ingredients of the “Second Practice”, or stile moderno, which Dal I Libro di Toccate aimed at engaging the feelings of the listener. This art was essential to the evocative 6. Partite sopra l'Aria della Romanesca (1–14) 21’49 power of Frescobaldi’s music. In his performance Francesco Gesualdi establishes a particular spatial and temporal Carlo Gesualdo (1566–1613) universe in which the constraints of absolute formal rigour are reconciled with 7. Canzon francese del Principe 6’40 freedom of accentuation and vital breath, so as to invest each execution with the immediacy of originality. In this ability to renew with each rendering, Gesualdi’s Alessandro Solbiati (1956) playing speaks for the way wonderment can forge the essential relationship between 8.

    MODEST MUSSORGSKY Born March 21, 1839 in Karevo, Pskov District, Russia; died March 28, 1881 in St. Petersburg A Night on Bald Mountain (1867; arranged in 1886) Arranged by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) PREMIERE OF WORK: St. Petersburg, October 15, 1886 Russian Symphony Orchestra Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, conductor APPROXIMATE DURATION: 12 minutes INSTRUMENTATION: woodwinds in pairs plus piccolo, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp and strings In the 1860s, Russian music was just beginning to find its distinctive voice. A number of composers — Balakirev, Cui, Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov and Mussorgsky — explored native musical and folkloric sources as the basis of a national art, and became loosely confederated into a group known as “The Mighty Handful” in Russia and “The Five” in the West. Since their works took their inspiration largely from indigenous legends and folk music, Mussorgsky considered himself lucky to receive a commission in 1861 (when he was just 21) for a dramatic musical composition based on a specifically Russian subject. On January 7th, he wrote to his mentor, Balakirev, “I have received an extremely interesting commission [for music for a drama titled The Witch by his friend Baron Georgy Fyodorovitch Mengden], which I must prepare for next summer. It is this: a whole act to take place on Bald Mountain … a Witches’ Sabbath, separate episodes of sorcerers, a solemn march for all this nastiness, a finale — the glorification of the Sabbath into which is introduced the commander of the whole festival on the Bald Mountain. The libretto is very good. I already have some material for it; it may turn out to be a very good thing.” The mountain to which Mussorgsky referred, well known in Russian legend, is Mount Triglav, near Kiev, reputed to be the site of the annual witches’ sabbath that occurs on St.

  • KASHCHEI for Nine Instruments and Electronics
    KASHCHEI For Nine Instruments and Electronics Nina C. Young November 2010 KASHCHEI for nine instruments and electronics November 2010 Approximate duration: 18:00 Premiered February 8, 2011, Live@CIRMMT – Montreal, Canada Instrumentation: Program Notes: flute (+ piccolo) Kashchei, for nine instruments and electronics, was written by Nina C. Young in 2010 in partial fulfillment of the Master’s of Music degree at McGill University under the supervision of Prof. Sean clarinet in B (+ bass clarinet) b Ferguson. The piece is a representation of Kashchei – a character from Russian folklore who makes an trumpet in C (+ piccolo trumpet; straight and harmon mutes) appearance in many popular fairytales or skazki. H is a dark, evil person of ugly, senile appearance who principally menaces young women. Kashchei cannot be killed by conventional means targeting his body. 2 percussion: Rather, the essence of his life is hidden outside of his flesh in a needle within an egg. Only by finding this I – vibraphone egg and breaking the needle can one overcome Kashchei’s powers. In one skazka, the princess Tsarevna’s I – almglocken (F4, G#4, A4, C5, D#5, E5, F5, G5, A5, B5, C#6) Darissa asks Kashchei where his death lies. Infatuated by her beauty, he let’s down his guard and I – crotales (E5, F5) eventually explains, “My death is far from hence, and hard to find, on the ocean wide: in that sea is the island of I – triangle I – wind chime Buyan, and upon this island there grows a green oak, and beneath this oak is an iron chest, and in this chest is a small I – splash cymbal basket, and in this basket is a hare, and in this hare is a duck, and in this duck is an egg; and he who finds this egg and I – suspended cymbal (medium) breaks it, at the same instant causes my death.” My own piece explores the seven layers and death of Kashchei.

    Teacher Notes on Russian Music and Composers x Prokofiev gave up his popularity and wrote music to please Stalin. He wrote music to please the government. x Stravinsky is known as the great inventor of Russian music. x The 19th century was a time of great musical achievement in Russia.

They were: Rimsky-Korsakov (most influential, 1844-1908) Borodin Mussorgsky Cui Balakirev x Tchaikovsky (1840-’93) was not know as one of “The Five”. x Near the end of the Stalinist Period Prokofiev and Shostakovich produced music so peasants could listen to it as they worked. x During the 17th century, Russian music consisted of sacred vocal music or folk type songs. x Peter the Great liked military music (such as the drums). He liked trumpet music, church bells and simple Polish music. He did not like French or Italian music. Nor did Peter the Great like opera.

  • Max Reger's Adaptations of Bach Keyboard Works for the Organ Wyatt Smith a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of
    Max Reger’s Adaptations of Bach Keyboard Works for the Organ Wyatt Smith A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Carole Terry, Chair Jonathan Bernard Craig Sheppard Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music ©Copyright 2019 Wyatt Smith ii University of Washington Abstract Max Reger’s Adaptations of Bach Keyboard Works for the Organ Wyatt Smith Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Carole Terry School of Music The history and performance of transcriptions of works by other composers is vast, largely stemming from the Romantic period and forward, though there are examples of such practices in earlier musical periods. In particular, the music of Johann Sebastian Bach found its way to prominence through composers’ pens during the Romantic era, often in the form of transcriptions for solo piano recitals. One major figure in this regard is the German Romantic composer and organist Max Reger. Around the turn of the twentieth century, Reger produced many adaptations of works by Bach, including organ works for solo piano and four-hand piano, and keyboard works for solo organ, of which there are fifteen primary adaptations for the organ. It is in these adaptations that Reger explored different ways in which to take these solo keyboard works and apply them idiomatically to the organ in varying degrees, ranging from simple transcriptions to heavily orchestrated arrangements. This dissertation will compare each of these adaptations to the original Bach work and analyze the changes made by Reger. It also seeks to fill a void in the literature on this subject, which often favors other areas of Reger’s transcription and arrangement output, primarily those for the piano.

  • Fantasias Music History Through Animation Background
    Disney’s Two Fantasias Music History Through Animation Background “The beauty and inspiration of music must not be restricted to a privileged few, but must be made available to every man, woman and child.” - Leopold Stokowski, 1940 “Fantasia is.. the beginning of a new technique for the screen.. and a greater development of sound recording and reproduction.” - Walt Disney, 1940 - Disney’s idea of marrying animation and music had begun in 1929 with the Silly Symphonies series (The Skeleton Dance, 1929, Flowers and Trees, 1932, first Technicolor release, The Old Mill, 1937, first multi-plane animation). Mickey was purposely left out. - by late-1930’s, Mickey’s popularity was failing, so Disney conceived the idea of starring Mickey in a Silly Symphony based on Paul Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice - Disney ran into Stokowski in a Beverly Hills restaurant and discussed the idea with him. They soon elaborated it into a feature length film consisting of several contrasting musical works. Disney at first called it The Concert Feature. - Stokowski suggested Fantasia, a musical term meaning “a composition unrestricted by formal design, free reign for fantasy and imagination” - originally conceived as a continually changing concert program, with new pieces added and old ones withdrawn on a continuing basis. Leopold Stokowski • born in London, 1882 emigrated to New York in 1905 • 1912 conductor of Philadelphia Orchestra • an early champion of recorded orchestra music - • “The recording process will one day reproduce music better than heard in the concert hall” • experiments with 3-channel stereo sound at Bell Labs • Philadelphia Orchestra transmitted over three phone lines to Washington, DC • unconventional positioning of instruments in order to produce a better recording • conducted without a baton (hands only), as shown in Fantasia and parodied in Long Haired Hare • by 1937 was well known to American audiences through film & radio appearances • had developed a 9 microphone recording system (mixed to mono) for earlier film recording.
