On average we perform four full concerts each year. Repertoire for these is primarily sourced from our own library; this includes works ranging from standard Classical repertoire through to music from Stage & Screen. Programme Notes – Second Half Senior Orchestra Carmen Suite – Georges Bizet A failure at its premiere, Bizet's Carmen began to find its enormous success only a few months later-and a few months after its composer's death. The opera's acclaim is mirrored by the popularity of the first orchestral suite drawn from it-like a second suite-by Ernest Guiraud, who also provided sung recitatives for the opera after Bizet's death. Our Senior Orchestra will now perform an arrangement of Bizet's 'Carmen Suite' for us. Selections from Beauty and the Beast – Alan Menken Much like the film production, Beauty and the Beast's soundtrack was a massive critical success, receiving universal praise and recognition from both film and music critics. The music featured on the album won several awards, including the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score, the Academy Award for Best Original Score and the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture or for Television. Its title track and only single, "Beauty and the Beast", achieved similar success, winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, Academy Award for Best Original Song and Grammy Awards for both Best Song Written for Visual Media and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. Our Senior Orchestra will perform an arrangement of some of the highlights from the popular soundtrack for us today. Caprice no.24 – Niccolo Paganini Caprice No. 24 is a famous work for solo violin. The work, in the key of A minor, consists of a theme, 11 variations, and a finale. Paganini's 24 Caprices are thought to have been composed in 1817, while he was in the service of the Baciocchi court. Junior Youth Orchestra Members: Programme Notes – Second Half Junior Orchestra 1st Violin Cello Oboe Toby Mitchell (leader) Natalie Page Archie Harris Grand March from Aida – Giuseppe Verdi Luke Curran Charlie Mitchell Anna Whiting Our Junior Orchestra will introduce the second half of our concert with the Grand Amelia Ford Peter Skeen March from 'Aida', which is an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi.

Our Junior Orchestra will perform a Katherine Dunbell John Skeen selection of musical highlights from Williams' Harry Potter scores for us today. Ben Doswell Luke Bartlett Rustic Dance – Charles Woodhouse Charles Woodhouse was born in London in 1879. He was a pianist and conductor; occasionally conducting for the Proms and regularly for the Civil Service Orchestra. Most of all he composed and arranged music for young musicians to play. Our junior members will perform one of Woodhouse's compositions 'Rustic Dance' for us today. Theme from Thunderbirds – Barry Gray Born into a musical family in Blackburn, Lancashire, Gray was encouraged to pursue a musical career from an early age. Starting at the age of five, with piano lessons, he studied diligently and became a student at the Manchester Royal College of Music and at Blackburn Cathedral. Although best known for his score to Thunderbirds (in particular the "March of the Thunderbirds" title music), Gray's work also included the themes to all the other "Supermarionation" productions, including 'Stingray', 'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons' and 'Joe 90'. Programme Notes – First Half Senior Youth Orchestra Members: Senior Orchestra 1st Violin Cello Clarinet George Skeen (leader) Ella Hutchinson Adam Morris Overture to Orpheus – Jacques Offenbach Chloe Hanlon George Rabin Laura Baker The musical score of this piece was composed by Offenbach to a French text by Sam Elms Natalie Page Chloe Phipps Ludovic Halévy.

  • Moon, Sun & All Things
    Moon, sun & all things BAROQUE MUSIC FROM LATIN AMERICA – 2 Ex Cathedra Jeffrey Skidmore Moon, sun & all things Jeffrey Skidmore writes … It is not surprising that Hanacpachap cussicuinin is so widely performed throughout Latin America and also seems to capture the imagination of all who hear it outside this seductive region. The music is noble, magical and haunting and is the earliest printed polyphony from the continent of South America. It is set for four voices in Sapphic verse in the Quechua language. The colourful imagery of the sequence of prayers skilfully mixes Inca and Christian imagery, with its references to stores of silver and gold, life without end, deceitful jaguars and sins of the devil. The singers may sing it ‘in processions entering the church’. It makes an extraordinarily powerful beginning to any service, concert, or recording. It is recorded here for the third time by Ex Cathedra with new orchestrations and new verses. It is surprising that it is so often performed using only the first two of the twenty verses given in the source. Moon, sun and all things is an anthology of Latin American music from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, chosen from the vast amount of extraordinary repertoire I discovered on research visits to the USA, Mexico and Bolivia. I worked in the Loeb Music Library at Harvard University, the Puebla Cathedral Archive and the Bolivian National Library in Sucre. I met many musicians in the National Arts Centre in Mexico City and in the Association for Art and Culture (APAC) in Santa Cruz. These were wonderful trips and I made many new friends who were companions and guides giving generously of their time: Salua Delalah (German Embassy), Ton de Wit (Prins Claus Foundation), Cecilia Kenning de Mansilla (APAC) and Josefina Gonsález (Saint Cecilia Choir, Puebla).

  • New Degree Proposal – Doctorate of Musical Arts University of Utah School of Music
    New Degree Proposal – Doctorate of Musical Arts University of Utah School of Music Primary Contact: Robert Walzel, DMA Director School of Music [email protected] SECTION I: The Request The University of Utah requests approval to offer the Doctorate of Musical Arts degree effective Fall 2007. This program has been approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on _______. SECTION II: Program Description The basic orientation of the Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) is professional practice emphasizing the creation or performance of musical works and the application and transmission of pedagogical knowledge of performance related issues. Doctoral degree programs in music are divided by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), the accrediting agency for music units in higher education, into two fundamental categories: 1) research-oriented degrees, and 2) performance-oriented degrees. The PhD is the principal degree for research programs, and the Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) is the predominant degree for performance programs. The School of Music currently administers research-oriented PhD degree programs in Music Education and Composition, but does not offer the performance-oriented DMA. In requesting approval to implement a performance doctorate, the School of Music seeks to join all other NASM accredited doctoral-granting institutions in offering the DMA degree. The School of Music at the University of Utah is currently the only accredited doctoral-granting comprehensive music school that does not offer the DMA. The DMA requires a minimum of 58 hours beyond the masters degree. A traditional dissertation is not required because the degree focuses on performance rather than research in music.

  • Giving New Voices to Old Music: Baroque Vocal Music with Ex Cathedra
    M4C Collaborative Doctoral Award - Giving New Voices to Old Music: Baroque Vocal Music with Ex Cathedra Project Title Giving New Voices to Old Music: Baroque Vocal Music with Ex Cathedra LEAD INSTITUTION Name of HEI institution Birmingham City University Lead regional city Birmingham ☒ Coventry ☐ Leicester ☐ Nottingham ☐ PARTNER ORGANISATION Name of organisation Ex Cathedra Website URL https://excathedra.co.uk THE RESEARCH PROJECT Since the early music revival of the 1960s and 1970s Baroque music has become a staple feature of the concert hall, with ever- increasing attempts to get as close as possible to the original sound world through historically-informed performance. However, as Bruce Haynes notes, modern musicians ‘perform certain pieces into the ground, like the Brandenburg concertos or the Four Seasons – much more frequently than they were ever performed, or intended to be’ (2007: 87). On the one hand there exists a wealth of music from the period that has been little explored by either musicologists or performers, whilst on the other there is an appetite for new works, as best-selling recordings of modern premières demonstrate. The situation is even more acute for choral works, which have – on the whole – received far less scholarly attention than the operas and instrumental music of the period. Ex Cathedra has been at the forefront of explorations in this field, both in terms of rediscovering hitherto neglected music (particularly, but not exclusively, in the field of Latin American Baroque music) and in exploring the new insights that historically- informed performance can bring to classics of the canon (including Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius).

  • GIULIA GALASSO a Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of Birmingham City University for the Degree Of
    THE MASS COLLECTION OCTO MISSAE (1663) BY FRANCESCO FOGGIA (1603-1688): AN ANALYTICAL STUDY AND CRITICAL EDITION GIULIA GALASSO A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Birmingham City University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2017 Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, The Faculty of Arts, Design and Media, Birmingham City University ABSTRACT Francesco Foggia (1603-1688) was one of the most prominent maestri di cappella of seventeenth-century Rome and an important mass composer. Historically, he has been regarded as one of the last heirs of Palestrina, largely due to the writings of Giuseppe Ottavio Pitoni (1657-1743) and Giovanni Battista Martini (1706-1784). More recently, scholars have reassessed his style in his motets, psalms and oratorios. However, his mass style has received little rigorous scholarly attention. This is partly because of the scarcity of critical editions of his works. The present study presents critical editions of five of the masses from his Octo missae (Rome: Giacomo Fei, 1663). In conjunction with the three masses included in Stephen R. Miller‟s recent edition (2017), the entire volume is now available in full score. This enables an informed reassessment of Foggia‟s mass style. The present study analyses his use of features, such as time signatures, full choir and stile concertato, textures, thematic treatment and borrowing procedures. It compares Foggia‟s mass style with those of his predecessors, mainly Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c.1525-1594), Ruggero Giovannelli (c.1560-1625), near predecessor Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652) and contemporaries, Bonifatio Gratiani (1604/5-1664), Orazio Benevoli (1605-1672).
