  • Fifty Years Together: a Celebration of Wolf Trap
    ANNIVERSARY CONCERT FIFTY YEARS TOGETHER: A CELEBRATION OF WOLF TRAP JULY 1, 2021 WELCOME BACK TO WOLF TRAP Dear Friends, Fifty years ago tonight, the National Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Julius Rudel, joined pianist Van Cliburn, opera star Norman Treigle, and more on the Filene Center stage for the very first performance at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts. That evening marked the birth of a national cultural treasure, a place where families and friends could experience the magic of the performing arts in an enchanting natural setting. Our beloved Wolf Trap was gifted to the nation by Catherine Filene Shouse (1896-1994), who donated the land and funds necessary to establish our country’s only National Park for the Performing Arts. Driven by her love for the arts, education, and nature, she created a performing arts destination with first-class performances for all interests presented in a unique bucolic setting. Over these past 50 years, the responsibility for carrying out this vision has fallen to Wolf Trap Foundation and the National Park Service, partners committed to ensuring that Wolf Trap is a vibrant asset for all Americans long into the future. It is with great pride and humility that we, along with our dedicated Board of Directors and staff, welcome you to this celebration of 50 years together—which is even more meaningful after a year devoid of live performances. Tonight we honor Mrs. Shouse’s legacy, her lifelong dedication to public service, and the impact Wolf Trap has had on the community for the last five decades.

Although he is regarded as perhaps the finest and most influential tenor player to have emerged in the '40's, Dexter Gordon has made only sporadic visits to his native country in recent years. Each visit has been an eagerly anticipated event, and the enthusiasm of those who have seen Dexter only served to whet the appetite for the next visit. And in this context, Dexter's return to New York last fall - for the first time in 5 years- stands out as one of the cher- ished events of 1976. In The New York Times, Robert Palmer wrote, "Mr. Gordon re-established himself as the living master of the tenor saxophone...with some of the the '70's....It stands as a new "Homecoming" most accomplished and stir- plateau in Dex's career and, for The spectacular return of ring improvisations heard here us, an opportunity to share in Dexter Gordon. in recent years:' the workings of one of the great On Columbia Records and Tapes.

  • Augmenting an Improvised Practice on the Viola Da Gamba
    Augmenting an improvised practice on the viola da gamba Mark A.C. Summers Doctor of Philosophy in Music Department of Music University of Sheffield June 2018 Abstract This thesis examines my improvisatory practice on the viola da gamba and its augmentation with mixed-music computer systems. It comprises creative work and an extended written commentary and discussion. My creative work is presented in two albums of music – solo viola da gamba im- provisation, and viola da gamba and mixed-music computer systems – and supple- mentary recorded material. The written commentary looks in depth at the presented creative work. I use the first, solo album to examine my improvisatory practice. To explore augmenting this practice with systems, I look in detail at my performances with gruntCount by Martin Parker, Laminate by myself and derivations by Ben Carey. Examples of these performances are presented in the second album. Scrutiny of these three systems leads to extended discussion of the following top- ics: 1. Taxonomy: What are these systems? What are the characteristics they display? Do these systems fit into a standard classification scheme? 2. Ontology: Do performances with these systems instantiate musical works? What are the criteria that would help us to decide? How much of my practice is therefore underpinned by musical works? 3. Copyright: Who is responsible for the musical output with these systems? Who is a legal/musical author in such performances? To conclude, I compare my improvisatory practice with and without systems and identify learnings arising from this research. Contents List of figures . .8 List of tables . 10 1 Prologue, or why this work interests me 11 1.1 First time .
