March 2015 4 from the President J.D March 2015 4 From the President J.D. Scott Dear Friends: As spring begins to tease us with hopefully warmer weather, we look forward to two “big events” that are coming up on our calendar. On April 1 and 4 Yannick and the Orchestra perform Bach’s groundbreaking St. Matthew Passion in a beautifully minimalist staging by James Alexander first seen by our audiences in 2013. While the work calls for large-scale forces, a divided orchestra, and a double chorus, its intimacy is extraordinary. Even though it was written to be performed in a religious setting, it is inherently theatrical and full of drama. Then, from April 30 to May 3 Yannick leads Bernstein’s MASS, a “theater piece for singers, players, and dancers.” This is one of the most original, eclectic pieces in the repertory and was far ahead of its time. Our performances will be staged in Verizon Hall by Kevin Newbury in a very surprising way, using a very large Orchestra, 16 “street singers,” multiple soloists and choirs, rock musicians, and a marching band. Bernstein not only drew upon his own unique compositional style, but added elements of blues and rock, incorporating quotations of Beethoven and outbursts of tone rows. It’s a thrilling and vibrant piece. Both of these works exemplify what we call Theater of a Concert, adding theatrical elements to help bring the composer’s vision to life. These concert presentations, in collaboration with local and national cultural and community organizations, are an important part of the Orchestra’s artistic vision, and have succeeded in reinvigorating the experience many of our audiences have in the concert hall. These presentations continue in our 2015-16 season with stagings of Handel’s Messiah and Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale. From March 2-7 the Orchestra presents a Collaborative Learning Week, with events that showcase collective music-making between Yannick, our musicians, and various community partners. This concentration of many of our educational activities includes participating in the All-City Music Festival, a side-by-side rehearsal with the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra, a School Partnership Program Bridge Session, and Musicians in the Schools events (a complete list of activities can be found on pg. 46 of this Playbill). Our good friends at PECO sponsor additional Musicians in the Schools programs from March 9-20, as well as a lunchtime pop-up concert at Reading Terminal on the 9th. We are so grateful to PECO for its continued and longtime support of the Orchestra. From March 5-8 we welcome over 100 volunteers from across the U.S. and Canada for the 40th Association of Major Symphony Orchestra Volunteers Conference. We are thrilled that our Collaborative Learning Week and the AMSOV Conference coincide, so that these wonderful volunteers can return to their home orchestras and spread the news of the great work we are doing here, and of which we are all so justly proud. Yours in Music, Allison Vulgamore President & CEO 6 Music Director Chris Lee Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin continues his inspired leadership of The Philadelphia Orchestra, which began in the fall of 2012. His highly collaborative style, deeply rooted musical curiosity, and boundless enthusiasm, paired with a fresh approach to orchestral programming, have been heralded by critics and audiences alike. The New York Times has called Nézet-Séguin “phenomenal,” adding that under his baton, “the ensemble, famous for its glowing strings and homogenous richness, has never sounded better.” He has taken the Orchestra to new musical heights. Highlights of his third season as music director include an Art of the Pipe Organ festival; the 40/40 Project, in which 40 great compositions that haven’t been heard on subscription concerts in at least 40 years will be performed; and Bernstein’s MASS, the pinnacle of the Orchestra’s five- season requiem cycle. Yannick has established himself as a musical leader of the highest caliber and one of the most exciting talents of his generation. He has been music director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic since 2008 and artistic director and principal conductor of Montreal’s Orchestre Métropolitain since 2000. He also continues to enjoy a close relationship with the London Philharmonic, of which he was principal guest conductor. He has made wildly successful appearances with the world’s most revered ensembles, and he has conducted critically acclaimed performances at many of the leading opera houses. Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Deutsche Grammophon (DG) enjoy a long-term collaboration. Under his leadership The Philadelphia Orchestra returned to recording with a CD on that label of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and Leopold Stokowski transcriptions. He continues a fruitful recording relationship with the Rotterdam Philharmonic on DG, EMI Classics, and BIS Records; the London Philharmonic and Choir for the LPO label; and the Orchestre Métropolitain for ATMA Classique. A native of Montreal, Yannick Nézet-Séguin studied at that city’s Conservatory of Music and continued lessons with renowned conductor Carlo Maria Giulini and with Joseph Flummerfelt at Westminster Choir College. Among Yannick’s honors are an appointment as Companion of the Order of Canada, one of the country’s highest civilian honors; a Royal Philharmonic Society Award; Canada’s National Arts Centre Award; the Prix Denise-Pelletier, the highest distinction for the arts in Quebec; and honorary doctorates from the University of Quebec in Montreal and the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.

Come with me. A generation ago, the astronomer Carl Sagan stood here and launched hundreds of millions of us on a great adventure: the exploration of the universe revealed by science. It's time to get going again. We're about to begin a journey that will take us from the infinitesimal to the infinite, from the dawn of time to the distant future. We'll explore galaxies and suns and worlds, surf the gravity waves of space-time, encounter beings that live in fire and ice, explore the planets of stars that never die, discover atoms as massive as suns and universes smaller than atoms. Cosmos is also a story about us. It's the saga of how wandering bands of hunters and gatherers found their way to the stars, one adventure with many heroes.

  • Fharmacy Opinion on Cross Motions for Summary Judgment
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION FHARMACY RECORDS a/k/a, FHARMACY RECORDS PRODUCTION CO., FHARM I PUBLISHING COMPANY, SHELTON RIVERS, Plaintiffs, v. Case Number 05-72126 Honorable David M. Lawson SALAAM NASSAR,CURTIS JACKSON, DARRIN DEAN, DEF JAM RECORDING, RUFF RYDERS, JANICE COMBS PUBLISHING, UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING, UNIVERSAL MUSIC & VIDEO DISTRIBUTION CORPORATION, EMI APRIL, INC., SOO SOOS SWEET SWISHER MUSIC, JOHN DOE, ET AL., Defendants. ______________________________________ / OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS, DENYING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, AND ADJUDICATING OTHER PENDING MOTIONS This is a copyright infringement action in which plaintiff Shelton Rivers claims to be the original author of a rhythm line – or “beat” – that was duplicated – that is, “sampled” – by defendant Salaam Nassar and incorporated into a rap tune, which enjoyed commercial success. Both Rivers and Nassar claim to be the original creator of the beat. However, the plaintiff’s sole remaining theory of liability is based on a claim of unlawful sampling under 17 U.S.C. § 114(b), which has not been established by the evidence before the Court regardless of which of the two is the original author. The parties have filed several motions, some of which raise disturbing allegations of misconduct by the plaintiffs and their attorney, Gregory Reed, Esq. The Court finds that the cross motions for summary judgment must be decided in favor of the defendants because the plaintiffs have not come forward with evidence that establishes that the accused work, a rap tune called “Shot Down,” contains a direct or indirect “recapture [of] the actual sounds fixed in the recording” Rivers said he made or a rearrangement of “the actual sounds fixed in [Rivers’s] sound recording.” Ibid.

Geoffrey Brown 3 This thesis is dedicated to Agnès Calatayud, an inspirational teacher, who reconnected me to French cinema after a long carence, and who, crucially, first introduced me to the films of Claire Denis. 4 Abstract This thesis argues that the interest which the films of Claire Denis display in the ever-shifting modes of relations between people is illustrated through analysis of how music is used throughout her corpus of feature films. Denis draws on an extremely eclectic palette of musical styles, and the thesis proposes that these varying musical modalities are central to her treatment of relational issues, as are the ways in which she deploys her chosen musical selections.

  • Inroads to Student Motivation in the Language Classroom: J-Pop
    Verla Uchida, A. (2018). Inroads to student motivation. Accents Asia, 10(2), 20-29. Inroads to Student Motivation in the Language Classroom: J-Pop Adrianne Verla Uchida1 Nihon University, Japan ABSTRACT As English is taught as a foreign language in Japan, the issue of whose English should be taught, how it should be taught and by whom are just a few of the questions that educators must decide when implementing a foreign language program. The answers to those questions then often have a direct influence on the learner and how their identity is shaped through learning English. Additionally, integrating pop culture materials that students are familiar with into the EFL classroom is useful as a means of addressing the concept of “cool” and globalization. This paper will review and draw on the ideas of globalization, identity, code switching and performativity-the way in which we perform acts of identity through cultural and social interactions or performance (Pennycook, 2003, p. 528), previously used to research about hip-hop culture in Japanese language and culture while broadening the focus to include Japanese pop (J-pop) and rock music. It will also examine the recent increase of English used in popular Japanese music and attempt to draw conclusions about the reasons why that is, the effects that it has on Japanese culture, especially in determining what is cool, and how it can be utilized in the EFL classroom. INTRODUCTION For better or worse, popular culture across the world has changed concurrently with the spread of English and globalization. The issues of whose English should be taught, how it should be taught and by whom are just a few components connected to the complexity of shaping one’s identity through the usage of English in modern day Japanese culture.

Passing away two months before his 75 th birthday Ted Joans had lived several lives: • He was born in 1928 on American Independence Day, on a boat where his father was an entertainer, and had lived in several towns, notably New York during 10 years, between 1951 and 1960. • He exiled himself to Europe , particularly to Paris where he resided for quite some time. • In parallel he travelled in Africa , his point of attachement being Mali where he kept a house at Timbuktu , more or less up to his death. • He also travelled punctually in Central America , and Mexico was not unknown to him. • He died in Canada . Teenager his first emotions as a young reader were surrealist , then upon his arrival in France he wrote to André Breton , who opened wide the doors to his movement. Previously Ted Joans had also invested in the Beat movement: amongst others he knew Jack Kerouac in New York and he frequented the famous Beat Hotel , situated at 9, rue Gît-le Cœur in Paris with William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg .
