San Diego Symphony Orchestra a Jacobs Masterworks Concert in Collaboration with the San Diego Museum of Art: “The Art of Music”
SAN DIEGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA A JACOBS MASTERWORKS CONCERT IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SAN DIEGO MUSEUM OF ART: “THE ART OF MUSIC” November 14, 2015 SERGEI RACHMANINOFF The Isle of the Dead, Op. 29 ADAM SCHOENBERG Finding Rothko Orange Yellow Red Wine OTTORINO RESPIGHI Trittico Botticelliano Primavera L’adorazione dei Magi La nascita di Venere CLAUDE DEBUSSY La mer De l’aube à midi sur la mer Jeux de vagues Dialogue du vent et de la mer The Isle of the Dead, Op. 29 SERGEI RACHMANINOFF Born April 1, 1873, Oleg Died March 28 1943, Beverly Hills In 1880 the Swiss artist Arnold Böcklin painted the first of what would be a series of one of the spookiest, most evocative images ever committed to canvas. Over the next few years he would produce four variations of that painting, which would eventually come to be known as Die Toteninsel: “The Isle of the Dead.” All versions of the painting show essentially the same thing. Against a dark and threatening sky, a small island reflects the late afternoon sun, which illuminates its rock cliffs and towering cypresses, a tree identified with cemeteries and with death. In the foreground a small boat approaches the island. A dark-clad oarsman sits in the stern, and in front of him a figure shrouded in pure white stands slightly hunched over a long white box garlanded (in some versions of the painting) with red flowers. All who see the painting are quick to interpret what it “means.” Some have seen it as a depiction of Charon bearing the dead across the River Styx, but Böcklin refused to offer an explanation of his work.

A Comparative Study of Four American Professional Wind Bands
A Comparative Study of Four American Professional Wind Bands Mark Tse A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington Reading Committee: Timothy Salzman, Chair David Rahbee Giselle Wyers Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music © Copyright 2020 Mark Tse 2 University of Washington Abstract A Comparative Study of Four American Professional Wind Bands Mark Tse Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Timothy Salzman Music This study compares the repertoire, business models, and philosophies of four American professional wind bands; Dallas Winds, Lone Star Wind Orchestra, San Diego Winds, and the Royal Hawaiian Band. For the purposes of this study, “professional” is defined as generating sufficient income to pay the performers. The Royal Hawaiian Band is an outlier of professional wind bands because of its history and function. The other three bands perform two to nine concerts per season like the first American orchestras. For these young professional bands to achieve comparable success as current professional orchestras, they should make similar revolutionary leaps (not evolutionary steps) that early American orchestras made to guarantee their performers a full season of concerts, enough to provide a livable income. 3 To 爸妈 4 Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank the chair of my committee, Professor Timothy Salzman, who graciously accepted me into the program and has taught me so much, both about the world of music and the world outside of music. I will be forever indebted. Thank you to Dr. David Rahbee for taking me on as a student of orchestral conducting, giving me the wonderful opportunity to conduct the UW Campus Philharmonia, and your help in preparing me for my recital.
