About Barn Dances, she writes, There is a single melody, heard at the outset, which is employed throughout the three short Barn Dances is a set of four abstract pieces for flute, clarinet, and piano. Each piece draws movements. The middle movement is an extended duo-cadenza between the opening square- its title from the name of a particular dance step used in cowboy dances. Taking the name metered canonic movement and the finale, a romp in compound meter that uses virtually all of the step as a point of departure, my idea was to take a flight of fancy in each movement of J.S. Bach’s contrapuntal devices. The piece has two endings: the players choose which one and to create the musical equivalent of a character drawing. to play, either the “formal” ending, or the one originally written for the marriage celebration, which incorporates a tiny fragment of Wagner’s Wedding March from Lohengrin. Forward Six and Fall Back Eight uses fiddle fifths, of the tuning gesture of country fiddling, to propel the idea of six notes rising followed by eight notes descending.

The second movement, Divide the Ring, is an homage to Gene Autry, roger nixon Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts and PhD degrees.

Varsouvianna is a slow, simple, and dreamlike waltz. the two highest wind instruments and reveal both their stentorian and playful capabilities. Percussive, unpredictable in its accents, and virtuosic in its ensemble, Rattlesnake Twist can be thought of as a Jazz-driven equivalent of a tarantella. robert Wykes (b. 1926) had a long association with Washington University in St. Louis, where he also performed as flutist with the St. Louis Symphony.

In 2012, I developed a new chamber orchestra called the “UTEP Virtuosi” focusing on significant string orchestra repertoire. I initiated a concert featuring music in movies and for stage in which that music is presented and integrated via multimedia with lectures and video. It has become the capstone event for the year featuring the artistry of faculty soloists and comments per classical music used in movies and music composed exclusively for that medium.

  • How Much Should Guests Expect to Spend This Wedding Season?
    How Much Should Guests Expect to Spend This Wedding Season? Cost of attending weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties and showers adds up fast NEW YORK – March 28, 2018 – Wedding guests should be prepared to spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars per celebration this wedding season, according to a new Bankrate.com report. This includes the cost of attending the wedding, as well as associated events like bachelor/bachelorette parties and wedding showers. Click here for more information: https://www.bankrate.com/personal-finance/smart-money/cost-of-attending-wedding-survey- 0318/ The most expensive commitment comes with being a part of the wedding party. Members of the wedding party can expect to spend an average of $728 on the wedding and related festivities of the bachelor/bachelorette party and wedding shower (including gifts, travel, attire and more). Northeastern wedding party members shell out even more than that, with an average all-in cost of $1,070 to partake in all three events. Attending a wedding for a close friend or family member when not part of the wedding party is not cheap, either. Guests attending those weddings and associated pre-parties spend an average of $628. Those attending weddings and related events for more distant friends/family members will experience some financial relief, comparatively, with a total average cost of $372. When it comes to gift-giving, Millennial guests (ages 18-37) seem to be less generous than the national average. Young adults report spending an average of just $57 on wedding gifts when part of the wedding party, $47 for close friends/family when not in the wedding party and $48 for more distant relationships.

  • Wedding Handbook
    CATHEDRAL WEDDING HANDBOOK WEDDING MUSIC GUIDE MUSIC FOR THE WEDDING LITURGY (1 of 4): Policies and Guidelines The Cathedral of Saint Joseph is a popular choice for weddings, for obvious reasons: it is a beautiful sacred space, and a regional landmark known for its stunning art and architecture. The Cathedral will bring a sense of awe, grandeur, prayer, and beauty to your wedding. At the same time, as the Mother Church for the Diocese and the seat of the Bishop, the Cathedral has specific liturgical and musical guidelines that may be different than those of other churches or non-church wedding venues. This document will help to guide you through our music policies and answer common questions about Cathedral weddings. The Cathedral Music Director (Dr. Jared Ostermann; [email protected]; 605-336-7390) is responsible for approving all wedding music, and assigning musicians to your wedding. It is important to contact the Music Director at least two months before your wedding, and sooner if possible. The most important general policy is that all music played or sung in the Cathedral must be sacred in nature. Appropriate INSTRUMENTAL music (music without any singing) is, generally speaking, any music that does not have a specific non-sacred context or reference. This means that a well-known theme from a pop song, movie soundtrack or Broadway musical would not be appropriate in the Cathedral. See below for some specific examples of appropriate music. Appropriate VOCAL music (music sung by the congregation or soloists) needs to have a sacred text - whether taken from the Bible or from the Church's texts for the liturgy (example: Gloria, Lamb of God, Responsorial Psalm) or from an approved Catholic hymnal.

  • Oberlin Opera: Conversations with William Bolcom and Joan Morris
    Oberlin Opera: Conversations with William Bolcom and Joan Morris By Mike Telin Last week the Oberlin Conservatory of Music’s Opera theatre presented four performances of American composer William Bolcom’s comic opera A Wedding. Bolcom was present for Wednesday’s opening performance as well as to give a talk on Friday about his career and his work in opera. A Wedding was preceded by McTeague, and A View from the Bridge. All three operas were commissioned by Chicago Lyric Opera. On Thursday morning only minutes prior to an interview on WCPN’s “Around Noon” program, the composer and his long-time performance collaborator and wife, mezzo- soprano Joan Morris, were beaming at the success of the previous night’s opening performance. “I am so pleased with the way it went”, Bolcom said with a smile. “The conductor had the perfect tempos, and that’s always a concern of mine.” Bolcom was soon ushered into the studio with “Around Noon” host Dee Perry, and the two had an engaging conversation about how A Wedding came to be and his about career as a composer and teacher. Although Ms. Morris must have heard these stories before, as well as living many of them, she listened attentively to the interview in the green room, smiling and nodding with affirmation as Bolcom and Perry conversed. “She’s very good” Bolcom said of Perry following the interview, “Very well prepared, and she asked good questions”. A few minutes later, Bolcom, Morris, and Oberlin Conservatory Assistant Director of Communications Jessica Downs and I took our seats for lunch.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Performance Practice Review by an authorized administrator of Scholarship @ Claremont. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Performing on the Trombone: a Chronological Survey David M. Guion The trombone is one of the oldest wind instruments currently in use. The trumpet, horn, and flute have a longer history, but have changed in construction and playing technique far more than the trombone, which reached its present form sometime in the 15 century. The name "trombone," Italian for "big trumpet," is attested as early as 1439. The German word Posaune may have referred to an instru- ment with a slide as early as 1363.1 The old English word "sack- but," on the other hand, first appeared in 1495, and cognate terms appeared in Spain and France not much earlier than that. Therefore the confusing and misleading practice of referring to a baroque-style trombone as a sackbut should be abandoned. Using two words for a trombone wrongly implies two different instruments, and at times leads to the erroneous notion that the sackbut is the "forerunner" of the trombone.
