It is also the most abused and the most exploited. (Tony Thomas) I: Introduction I.1: A Brief Guide to Film Music Research Despite the thousands of writings on film music, there is much about the subject that is terra incognita. It is no exaggeration to say that hun- dreds of film composers are all but unknown – their careers unchroni- cled, their music seldom heard and wholly unexamined. […] As film music approaches its centennial, historians, scholars, and musicologists have their work cut out for them (McCarty 1998:xiv). Even though these introductory remarks were written more than 20 years ago, Clifford McCarty’s thoughts on the neglected state of film music research are still valid to some extent. The establishment of soundtrack specialty labels such as Intrada, La-La-Land or the now defunct Film Score Monthly may have preserved thousands of film music re- cordings from the vaults of major Hollywood studios, this sudden availably of new materi- al didn’t result in a similar increase in the number of books and journals discussing these works. Part of the problem can be directly attributed to the interdisciplinary nature of what constitutes film music research and how different authors approach the same subject. Some of the most important contributors in this field are musicologists and com- posers, so their main field of interest is "how music works in the film" with an emphasis on "music". Esteemed authors such as Fred Steiner or Fred Karlin were actively working in the business while writing about it at the same time – some would argue that their theoreti- cal work was even more significant than their practical contributions to the field. The books written from a musical perspective usually focus on either one film (such as Stei- ner’s essay on Bernard Herrmann’s Psycho or Scarecrow Press’ Film Score Guides series) or look at various musical techniques and list dozens of titles that exemplify these methods (such as how Karlin structured his book On the Track). What’s common in both approach- es is that the authors’ primary resources are the musical manuscripts which are frequently featured as illustrations to make a point. 4 Gergely Hubai • The Treatment of Artistic Integrity in the American Film Industry The second group of authors comes from the world of film theory, so their main field of interest is "how music works in the film" with an emphasis on "film". Instead of consulting sheet music or available recordings, the film theorists are looking at the movies only, examining how the underscores affect (or in more interesting cases, manipulate) the audience. Film Music by Peter Larsen is perhaps one of the most widely available refer- ence books within this group and it can be considered a representative example of the film- centered approach. The key feature of this type of research is that the author looks at the film and its musical accompaniment much like how a formalist literary critic looks at a text – nothing outside the specific work is of interest for him. Unused cues, alternate recordings or rejected scores are of no consequence in their appreciation of the work. The Treatment of Artistic Integrity in the American Film Industry

    Wednesday 26 May 2021 Thursday 27 May 2021 Barbican GRIEG, RACHMANINOFF & BEETHOVEN Edvard Grieg The Last Spring Serge Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No 2 Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No 5 Michael Tilson Thomas conductor Yuja Wang piano London Symphony Orchestra Welcome A warm welcome to these LSO concerts. After 14 months away, it was wonderful last week to make our long-awaited return to our Barbican home, and to be able to reunite with audiences in person, sharing once again in the joy of live music. Sincere thanks to all of our supporters: your generosity has enabled us to continue sharing music with audiences across the globe through these challenging times, and now continues to assist our return to live performance and our recovery from the pandemic. With these concerts we welcome back LSO Conductor Laureate Michael Tilson Thomas, who has been sorely missed over the past year. Across four concerts at the Barbican and LSO St Luke’s, he conducts music by Grieg and Copland, piano concertos by Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich, and symphonies by Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. It is a pleasure to be joined also by soloist Yuja Wang, who has performed with the Orchestra and Michael Tilson Thomas regularly over the years, most recently in 2017 when she joined the Orchestra on tour in Europe. Following these London performances of Rachmaninoff’s and Shostakovich’s Second Piano Concertos, we look forward to Yuja Wang – and Michael Tilson Thomas – joining us for further concerts at Snape Maltings next week. I hope you enjoy these performances. Our thanks to all of you, our audience members, for your support.

  • A Report on Piet Swerts' Klonos and Ingolf
    ANALYSIS OF A RECITAL: A REPORT ON PIET SWERTS’ KLONOS AND INGOLF DAHL’S CONCERTO FOR ALTO SAXOPHONE AND WIND ORCHESTRA by BENJAMIN T COLD B.M., University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, 2010 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC School of Music, Theatre, and Dance College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2012 Approved by; Major Professor Dr. Anna Marie Wytko Copyright BENJAMIN T COLD 2012 Abstract Ingolf Dahl’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Wind Orchestra is considered a master concert work in saxophone literature. The work was written for saxophone pioneer Sigurd Rascher who was active in commissioning new works for the instrument. Piet Swerts’ Klonos , composed over 40 years after Dahl’s Concerto , is a much newer composition. The work has gained national recognition as a popular competition piece and is a synthesis of new and old compositional styles. These two works strongly showcase the flexibility and virtuosity capable of the skilled saxophonist. This master’s report, presented as extended program notes, includes biographical information about the composers, a historical and stylistic overview of the selected compositions, and a harmonic and formal analysis of the music with respect to performance considerations.

    Michael Tilson Thomas assumed his post as the San Francisco Symphony’s 11th Music Director in 1995, consolidating a relationship with the Orchestra that began with his debut here in 1974. In what is widely considered one of the most dynamic and productive partnerships in the orchestral world, Tilson Thomas and the SF Symphony have been praised for their innovative programming, enhancing the orchestral concert experience with multimedia and creative staging, showcasing the works of American composers, and attracting new audiences to orchestral music, both at home at Davies Symphony Hall and through the Orchestra’s extensive media projects. A Los Angeles native, he studied with John Crown and Ingolf Dahl at the University of Southern California, becoming Music Director of the Young Musicians Foundation Debut Orchestra at nineteen. He worked with Stravinsky, Boulez, Stockhausen, and Copland at the famed Monday Evening Concerts and was pianist and conductor for the Piatigorsky and Heifetz master classes. In 1969, Tilson Thomas was appointed Assistant Conductor of the Boston Symphony. Ten days later he came to international recognition, replacing Music Director William Steinberg in mid-concert at Lincoln Center. He went on to become the BSO’s Principal Guest Conductor, and he has also served as Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic, and as a Principal Guest Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. With the London Symphony Orchestra he has served as Principal Conductor and Principal Guest Conductor; he is currently Conductor Laureate. He is Artistic Director of the New World Symphony, America’s Orchestral Academy, which he co-founded in 1987. The NWS has helped launch the careers of more than 1,200 alumni worldwide, including more than 15 members of the SFS.

  • Chamber Music by INGOLF DAHL LOU HARRISON LUKAS FOSS BEN WEBER
    Chamber Music by INGOLF DAHL LOU HARRISON LUKAS FOSS BEN WEBER By Carter Harman At the end of World War II, American composers faced a more promising prospect than most of their predecessors had experienced. On the material front, the return to a peacetime economy implied more leisure time for potential audiences, more money for cultural activities. Professionally, there would be a chance to consolidate the gains made in the immediate prewar years and during the period of national mobilization, when composers had discovered that there was a demand for functional music – for theater, dance, film, and school use – as well as for concert works. And the growth of music departments in colleges and universities, opportunities for teaching were on the increase, with the wartime baby boom encouraging projections of further increases. A time for optimism indeed – an optimism evident in the genuinely graceful, occasionally ecstatic lyricism shared by the four works in this album, disparate though they may be in other respects. In earlier time, optimism had not been a particularly appropriate stance for American composers. Their problem was of long standing, and predated the difficulties encountered by the strange ‘new music” that came from Europe in the early years of the century. Back in 1854, William Henry Fry, composer of operas and symphonies, was complaining of the new York Philharmonic Society that it “is an incubus on Art, never having asked for or performed a single American instrumental composition during the eleven years of it’s existence.” But this did not mean a prejudice against living composers: in the season of 1882-83, some sixty percent of the music played by that same Philharmonic – a fairly representative organization in its tastes – was the work of men still living, and later there were those who felt that Tchaikovsky’s American visit, to inaugurate New York’s Carnegie Hall in 1891, represented the high point of the nation’s musical life to date.
