    Concert Season 34 REVISED CALENDAR 2020 2021 Note from the Maestro eAfter an abbreviated Season 33, VoxAmaDeus returns for its 34th year with a renewed dedication to bringing you a diverse array of extraordinary concerts. It is with real pleasure that we look forward, once again, to returning to the stage and regaling our audiences with the fabulous programs that have been prepared for our three VoxAmaDeus performing groups. (Note that all fall concerts will be of shortened duration in light of current guidelines.) In this year of necessary breaks from tradition, our season opener in mid- September will be an intimate Maestro & Guests concert, September Soirée, featuring delightful solo works for piano, violin and oboe, in the spacious and acoustically superb St. Katharine of Siena Church in Wayne. Vox Renaissance Consort will continue with its trio of traditional Renaissance Noël concerts (including return to St. Katharine of Siena Church) that bring you back in time to the glory of Old Europe, with lavish costumes and period instruments, and heavenly music of Italian, English and German masters. Ama Deus Ensemble will perform five fascinating concerts. First is the traditional December Handel Messiah on Baroque instruments, but for this year shortened to 80 minutes and consisting of highlights from all three parts. Then, for our Good Friday concert in April, a program of sublime music, Bach Easter Oratorio & Rossini Stabat Mater; in May, two glorious Beethoven works, the Fifth Symphony and the Missa solemnis; and, lastly, two programs in June: Bach & Vivaldi Festival, as well as our Season 34 Grand Finale Gershwin & More (transplanted from January to June, as a temporary break from tradition), an exhilarating concert featuring favorite works by Gershwin, with the amazing Peter Donohoe as piano soloist, and also including rousing movie themes by Hans Zimmer and John Williams.

    Michael talbot MIGrazIonI dI un CuCulo e dI un usIGnolo : Il ConCerto rV 335 dI VIValdI e nuoVe ConsIderazIonI suI ConCertI rV 335 a e rV a nH . 14 sommario Il Concerto per violino in la maggiore, rV 335, di antonio Vivaldi, intitolato The Cuckow , godette di una straordinaria popolarità sul suolo britannico durante il diciottesimo secolo. Il brano si caratterizza per l’ampio uso del registro sovra - cuto, gli effetti onomatopeici che richiamano il canto degli uccelli e un tessuto orchestrale semplice e omofonico. Conosciuto in Inghilterra fin dal 1717, questo concerto rimase un vero e proprio cavallo di battaglia per molte generazioni di virtuosi, continuando a essere riproposto, sia pur attraverso versioni sempre più lontane dal testo originale, fino al secolo successivo. a prima vista, non sembra affatto che venga imitato il verso del cuculo, dal momento che l’intervallo discendente che ne imita il richiamo è una quarta anzi - ché una terza: questo ci spinge a ritenere spurio il titolo del brano. all’inizio della primavera, tuttavia, il verso del cuculo descrive un intervallo più ampio di una terza, ragion per cui la sua autenticità non può essere del tutto scartata, anche se Vivaldi, altrove, rappresenta il cuculo con un intervallo di terza. Il modello del movimento lento di rV 335 – otto battute il cui organico pre - vede solamente il solista sostenuto dal basso continuo – è uno dei prediletti da Vivaldi. l’influente musicista di origine tedesca J. C. Pepusch lo prese a prestito in un suo concerto per violino in la maggiore, integrando l’accompagnamento orchestrale con delle parti aggiuntive per gli strumenti ad arco mancanti.

    Fünf Geistertrompeten Und Eine Nähmaschine

    26 Interview Fünf Geistertrompeten und eine Nähmaschine Im Gespräch: Peter Ryom Die Fragen stellte Johannes Jansen CONCERTO: Woran hat sich Ihr ganz persönliches Interesse für Antonio Vivaldi entzündet? RYOM: Mein Interesse an der Barockmusik ganz allgemein ist bei einer Vorlesung über die h-Moll-Messe von Bach an der Universi- tät von Kopenhagen erwacht, als der Professor die Anfangstakte des ›Gloria‹ vorspielte. Das war so fabelhaft schön und für mich eine solche Offenbarung, dass ich in diesem Moment beschloss, mich weiterhin mit Barockmusik zu befassen. Da ich als Kind dänischer Eltern in Paris aufgewachsen war, wo ich auch fast meine gesamte Schulzeit verbrachte, waren meine deutschen Sprachkenntnisse allerdings noch so gering, dass ein Bach- Thema für mich nicht in Frage kam. So kam ich zu Vivaldi, über den es bereits französische Literatur gab. Ich hatte mir das kleine Buch von Marc Pincherle ausgeliehen, das zu der Entscheidung ebenso beigetragen hat wie ein Konzertbesuch Anfang der sech- ziger Jahre in Kopenhagen. Meine Eltern hatten es mir und mei- ner Schwester ermöglicht, I Musici mit den ›Vier Jahreszeiten‹ zu hören – das war ein wunderschönes Erlebnis –, außerdem brachte mein Vater, der beruflich viel in Italien zu tun hatte, von dort viele Schallplatten mit. CONCERTO: Die erste Stereo-Aufnahme der ›Vier Jahreszeiten‹ mit dem Ensemble I Musici aus dem Jahr 1959 steht mit mehr als 10 Mio. Exemplaren unverrückbar auf einem Platz unter den Top Peter Ryom auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse bei der Entgegennahme seines Ten der meistverkauften Platten aller Zeiten. Insgesamt sollen bis frisch gedruckten Vivaldi-Verzeichnisses (Fotos: Ilse Ryom) heute mehr als 400 Aufnahmen allein mit diesen vier Konzerten aus Vivaldis Opus VIII entstanden sein.

    Iron Sharpens Iron: Duets for Two Women in the Teaching/Instruction of Undergraduate Women

    IRON SHARPENS IRON: DUETS FOR TWO WOMEN IN THE TEACHING/ INSTRUCTION OF UNDERGRADUATE WOMEN Laurissa Backlin, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2013 APPROVED: Lynn Eustis, Major Professor Richard Sparks, Committee Member Stephen Morscheck, Committee Member Jeffrey Snider, Chair of the Division of Vocal Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Backlin, Laurissa. Iron Sharpens Iron: Duets for Two Women in the Teaching/Instruction of Undergraduate Women. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2013, 61 pp., 30 figures, bibliography, 77 titles. Duet literature remains largely untapped as a pedagogical tool in the undergraduate voice studio. This dissertation examines the ways in which eight duets for female voices, although not written primarily for pedagogical use, may be used to teach four main areas of voice technique: intonation, vocal agility, legato singing, and dramatic skills. Duets are chosen primarily from the standard repertoire and are in English, German, French, Italian and Latin. The compositional styles range from the Baroque period through the 20th century. Genres include art song, oratorio, and opera. Each chapter focuses on one of the four vocal skills listed above, and includes examinations of two duets whose vocal writing (rhythm, tessitura, intervals, tempi, and text) make them appropriate candidates for pedagogical use in the improvement of that specific skill. Both male and female teachers of singing may utilize this project as a practical resource and model in how to use other duets, including those for other voice types, for similar purposes in their teaching studio.
