we are students we are teachers we are performers we are creators we are storytellers we are explorers we are the rncm we are migrants Migration has been in the DNA of the RNCM from its earliest roots, when in 1893 the German-born conductor Sir Charles Hallé realised his vision of founding a Northern conservatoire which became the Royal Manchester College of Music. Ever since then, musicians have migrated to this city from all over the world to study, teach and perform here. Move forward to 2019/20 and the RNCM now has over 950 students from 55 countries, each with their own unique experience of migration. #WeAreMigrants celebrates the stories and creative output of musicians past and present who have left their homes, through choice or necessity, and explores the impact of migration on their music and on their adopted countries.

    ROBERT BLACK, Pianist ROGER SESSIONS MIRIAM GIDEON

    ROBERT BLACK, pianist Photo by Jane Hamborsky ROGER SESSIONS FIVE PIECES FOR PIANO (1974-75) ROGER SESSIONS (b. 1896, Brooklyn, New York) entered Harvard at the age of 14, and while there managed the footbal l team; he did graduate work with Horatio Parker at Yale. His subsequent studies, probably the most important to his development, were with Ernest Bloch. In his career as a composer and a teacher, Sessions has continued the 'great line' of European composers in its translation to the American musical community. Much of his early career was spent in Europe; after his return to this country, he profoundly influenced generations of students at Princeton, Berkeley and at Juilliard. The FIVE PIECES FOR PIANO were written in 1974 and 1975, thus coming between the cantata, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed , and the Ninth Symphony. In this ordered group, pieces I and V are linked by the slower tempo of their finely-worked counterpoint and their symmetrical forms and pro- cedures; II and IV share a brilliant agitato character and the scherzando, Ill, stands in the center. It was while writing piece IV, having completed the rest of the group, that Sessions heard of the death of a close friend and colleague. The brief tranquillo section which begins at the thirteenth bar marks this exact moment compositionally, and the entire group is inscribed "to the memory of Luigi Dallapiccola." - by Alan Fletcher MIRIAM GIDEON SONATA FOR PIANO (1977) MIRIAM GIDEON, born in Greeley, Colorado, has composed in all media. Her orchestral, chamber, and solo works have been performed and recorded in the U.S.A., Europe, and the Far East.

CONNECTING ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE: A CASE STUDY FOR DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH ANNIE YIH ne of the purposes of teaching music theory is to connect the practice of analysis with O performance. However, several studies have expressed concern over a lack of connec- tion between the two, and they have raised questions concerning the performative qualities of traditional analytic theory.1 If theorists are to achieve one of the objectives of analysis in provid- ing performers with information for making decisions, and to develop what John Rink calls “informed intuition,” then they need to understand what types of analysis—and what details in an analysis—can be of service to performers.2 As we know, notation is not music; notation must be realized as music, and the first step involves score study.
