American Romantics
american romantics Premiere Recordings of Turn of the Century Works for String Orchestra gowanus arts ensemble & reuben blundell, conductor These premiere recordings promote music by immigrant and homegrown composers, from the rich but underperformed music of the late 19th and 20th century. It’s striking to hear a European Romantic style alongside a homegrown aesthetic, whether the New England styles of Foote, Parker and Converse, or Busch’s incorporation of Native American themes. These composers were born in the USA, France, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark, and were citizens of, or resident in America during this period. carl busch (1862-1943) 1 Omaha Indian Love Song from Four North American Legends | 6:08 paul miersch (1868-1956) 2 Pleasant memories (Gais Souvenirs)—Pizzicato Caprice pour Instruments à cordes | 2:06 Ludwig Bonvin (1850-1939) 3 Christmas Night’s Dream (Christnachtstraum), Op. 10 | 4:22 carl hillman (1867-1930) 4 Lullaby (Wegenlied), Op. 21 | 2:21 Horatio parker (1863-1919) 5 Scherzo, for Strings | 5:15 carl busch (1862-1943) 6 Chippewa Lullaby from Four North American Legends | 4:25 7 Elegie, Op. 30 | 6:22 Eugène arcade dédé (1867-1919) 8 Bees and Bumblebees (Abeilles et Bourdons), Op. 562 | 4:33 Arthur foote (1853-1937) 9 Air | 5:08 bk Gavotte | 3:22 frederick shepherd converse (1871-1940) bl Serenade | 2:57 Henry schoenefeld (1857-1936) bm Scherzo from Characteristic Suite, Op. 15 | 4:51 carl busch (1862–1943) Omaha Indian Love Song & Chippewa Lullaby, from Four North American Legends; Elegie, Op. 30 | Taught by two of its founders, Nils Gade and Johan Hartmann, Carl Busch attended the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen.

JV Recital 210820
Livestreamed Organ Recital XVII by Jonathan Vaughn from The Frantz Chapel, Christ Church, Greenwich CT Friday, August 21, 2020 at 5.30 p.m. ET (10.30 p.m. BST) Prelude and Fugue in E minor (the lesser) - Nikolaus Bruhns (1665-1697) Mein junges Leben hat ein End - Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621) Cantilena (Sonata no 11 in D flat) - Josef Rheinberger (1839-1901) Suite Gothique - Léon Boëllmann (1862-1897) Introduction Menuet Gothique Prière à Notre-Dame Toccata Nikolaus Bruhns’s surviving corpus of music is achingly small, but demonstrates he was a musician of great stature in the pre-Bach period who is said to have played the violin while accompanying himself using the pedals. His Preludes and Fugues alternate between sections of fantasia and fugal writing. Sweelinck, the most famous keyboard player of his generation, was organist at the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam, like his father before him and his son after. A contemporary of Gabrieli, he was one of the figures who saw in the baroque era, and his students included Peter Hasse, Jacob Praetorious and the Scheidt brothers. The set of variations on the folk tune My young life has an end is his best-known keyboard work, and, being on a secular theme, would probably have been intended for virginal. The Liechtensteinian composer Josef Rheinberger studied and taught in Munich, and had distinguished students including Horatio Parker, Richard Strauss and Wilhelm Furtwängler. His music was influenced by figures such as Mendelssohn and J. S. Bach, and displays a high level of craftsmanship. He intended to write 24 organ sonatas, but died before completing the set.

Artvoice Weekly Edition » Issue v11n43 (10/25/2012) » Classical Music Notes Both Modern and Rare by Jan Jezioro Daniel Bassin, music director for the UB Symphony Orchestra. Dan Bassin leads the Slee Sinfonietta and the UB Symphony Now in his third academic year as the UB Symphony Orchestra’s music director, Daniel Bassin enjoys his hectic schedule of music making. In addition to his duties as the UBSO music director, Bassin has also been conducting some very challenging works on this season’s Slee Sinfonietta series, yet he also somehow manages to find the time to perform often as a trumpeter with jazz ensembles in venues throughout the city. And he does this all while pursuing his PhD in musical composition at the University. The second Slee Sinfonietta concert of this season takes place in Slee Hall Tuesday, October 30 at 7:30pm, and features works by acknowledged masters of post-World War II musical modernism such as Stockhausen’s Kreuzspiel, a work the composer considered to be his first truly original composition, as well as works by Lutosławski and Boulez, and Vues aeriennes, composed by Tristan Murail, one of spectral music’s principal founders and theoreticians. Morton Feldman enjoyed a close relationship with UB for many years, and his reputation has only continued to grow since his death. Feldman, a good friend of the painter Willem de Kooning, composed his De Kooning, written for an unusual instrumental combination, to accompany a film about the artist by the German- American director Hans Namuth. “Feldman once remarked of de Kooning’s work that at first impression it seemed as if his canvases were painted quickly, but when watching de Kooning paint, he saw that he was painstakingly deliberate and slow, and I think Feldman’s piece, in a way, mimics de Kooning’s process,” Bassin says.
