  • Edvard Grieg: Between Two Worlds Edvard Grieg: Between Two Worlds
    EDVARD GRIEG: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS EDVARD GRIEG: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS By REBEKAH JORDAN A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Rebekah Jordan, April, 2003 MASTER OF ARTS (2003) 1vIc1vlaster University (1vIllSic <=riticisIll) HaIllilton, Ontario Title: Edvard Grieg: Between Two Worlds Author: Rebekah Jordan, B. 1vIus (EastIllan School of 1vIllSic) Sllpervisor: Dr. Hllgh Hartwell NUIllber of pages: v, 129 11 ABSTRACT Although Edvard Grieg is recognized primarily as a nationalist composer among a plethora of other nationalist composers, he is much more than that. While the inspiration for much of his music rests in the hills and fjords, the folk tales and legends, and the pastoral settings of his native Norway and his melodic lines and unique harmonies bring to the mind of the listener pictures of that land, to restrict Grieg's music to the realm of nationalism requires one to ignore its international character. In tracing the various transitions in the development of Grieg's compositional style, one can discern the influences of his early training in Bergen, his four years at the Leipzig Conservatory, and his friendship with Norwegian nationalists - all intricately blended with his own harmonic inventiveness -- to produce music which is uniquely Griegian. Though his music and his performances were received with acclaim in the major concert venues of Europe, Grieg continued to pursue international recognition to repudiate the criticism that he was only a composer of Norwegian music. In conclusion, this thesis demonstrates that the international influence of this so-called Norwegian maestro had a profound influence on many other composers and was instrumental in the development of Impressionist harmonies.

  • Vadim Repin, Violin, with Andrei Korobeinikov, Piano Program Notes
    Vadim Repin, violin, with Andrei Korobeinikov, piano Program Notes Part: Fratres Born in Paide, September 11, 1935 In 1960, while still a student at the Talinn Conservatory, Arvo Pärt won national attention for his Nekrolog, dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust. It was the first work by an Estonian composer to use Schoenberg’s twelve-tone system so it created something of a scandal. The notoriety had its rewards, however, as it brought Pärt commissions from state sources and from cellist Rostropovich. Soon tired of his serial phase, Pärt began a series of alternations between creative output and withdrawal to search for a new style. One of his explorations came up with the collage technique, resulting in such compositions as his Collage on the Theme B-A-C-H (1964) and Second Symphony (1966). During the 1970s Pärt supported himself by writing some 50 film scores. His third symphony (1971) followed one of his “withdrawal” periods, in which he studied 14th – 15th century polyphony, from Machaut to Josquin. He followed another of his “creative silences” with For Alina (1976), a small piano piece of high and low extremes. Pärt said he reached a “new plateau” with this piece: “It was here that I discovered the triad series, which I made my simple, little guiding rule.” He has written in this triadic style, which he calls “tintinnabuli” (after the bell-like resemblance of notes in the triad), ever since, with only slight modifications. From 1982, when he moved to Berlin, he has composed primarily religious works for chorus or small vocal ensembles.

  • The Musical Compositions for Unaccompanied Solo Tuba by Four
    THE MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS FOR UNACCOMPANIED SOLO TUBA BY FOUR AMERICAN PERFORMER-COMPOSERS by DAVID MCLEMORE (Under the Direction of DAVID ZERKEL) ABSTRACT The solo repertoire for tuba is characterized by its small size and lack of stylistic diversity. As with other instruments in Western Art music, a solution to this dearth of repertoire has involved the worked of performer-composers, virtuoso instrumentalists who have created new works for their instrument. This study examines the solo tuba compositions of four American performer-composers: Mike Forbes, Grant Harville, Benjamin Miles, and John Stevens. Each composer’s compositional style and approach is discussed, followed by a musical analysis of their music for tuba alone. As some of these compositions are already staples in the solo tuba repertoire, this study provides a resource to performers and teachers who will perform, study, or teach these compositions. Furthermore, composers and other performer-composers will benefit from the analysis of each performer-composer’s musical style.

  • Ludwig Van Beethoven in a Transcription of His Violin Concerto for String Orchestra
    2 3 Dear Friends of the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, It is such a joy to be able to start our 2020-2021 season! In these difficult times we feel so fortunate to be able to play concerts for you. Like life, music is resilient and necessary. With this opening concert, we celebrate our beloved Ludwig van Beethoven in a transcription of his violin concerto for string orchestra. For Beethoven “Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy” and to me his music expresses a psychological and spiritual victory. Edvard Grieg’s Erotik and Holberg Suite are both marvels of lushness and beautiful string orchestra writing that will beautifully contrast Beethoven’s masterpiece. I am so proud of our MSO musicians and how resilient and artfully creative they are during these times of challenge, playing each and every note with heartfelt meaning. We are also blessed to have you as our audience and feel so excited to be sharing the music with you! Enjoy the concert, Julien Benichou, Music Director 4 MISSION STATEMENT: To enrich life across the Mid-Atlantic region through the power of classical music Board of Directors President Jeffrey Parker Vice President Valerie Mazur Secretary Raymond Vergne Treasurer John Pinney Vice President of Education & Outreach Patricia Campbell Area Vice Presidents Valerie Mazur, Easton Jean Wehner, Ocean View Vacant, Ocean Pines Peter Harrigan, Rehoboth Directors Donna Barker Andrea Barnes Katherine Barney Regina Brittingham Courtney Kane Marci Levin Jennifer Martella MSO Staff Music Director Julien Benichou General Manager Dane Krich Consultant Mary Lou Tietz Ticket Fulfillment Anne Marie Rogerson 5 6 GUIDELINES Music is an integral part of our lives.

  • Violin Sonatas Elena Urioste, Violin Tom Poster, Piano Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)
    To the Spring Grieg: The Violin Sonatas Elena Urioste, violin Tom Poster, piano Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) Violin Sonata No.1 in F major, Op.8 1 Allegro con brio 9.42 2 Allegretto quasi andantino 5.14 3 Allegro molto vivace 7.34 4 Våren (Last Spring), Op.33 No.2 4.38 (arr. Poster and Urioste) Violin Sonata No.2 in G major, Op.13 5 Lento doloroso – Allegro vivace 9.37 6 Allegretto tranquillo 6.11 7 Allegro animato 5.39 8 Til våren (To the Spring), Op.43 No.5 3.56 (arr. Poster and Urioste) Violin Sonata No.3 in C minor, Op.45 9 Allegro molto ed appassionato 9.20 10 Allegretto espressivo alla Romanza 7.17 11 Allegro animato – Prestissimo 7.39 Total time 76.49 Elena Urioste, violin Tom Poster, piano 2 Shortly before we made this recording, we paid a visit to Troldhaugen, near Bergen, where Grieg made his home for the last 20 summers of his life. Two things in particular stick in the memory: the warmth of tone of Grieg’s 1892 Steinway piano, which Tom had the privilege of playing; and the extraordinary natural beauty of the surroundings, with Grieg’s composing hut overlooking the serene Nordås Lake. Grieg is a composer we have both adored since childhood. Like the environment in which he composed, his music has a disarming honesty and naturalness, infused with lyrical warmth, folk-inspired beauty and echoes of the Norwegian landscape. Of Grieg’s three violin sonatas, it is the third which has become part of the core repertoire, and it was one of the first collaborative works Elena ever played.
