Empathy is a skill and to learn it enables us to move from a place of shame to compassion and courage. On this Mother's Day come listen to voices of curiosity, empathy and courage in the songs sung by Cymbal, a UU women's singing group, in the meditave music of crystal tone bowls, and in Rev. Linda's sermon: "Every Long Journey". Rev. Linda Slabon served the UU Fellowship of DeKalb for 26 years along with her spouse, Dr. Toni Tollerud, who served as Music Director.

  • Devotional Music and Healing in Badakhshan, Tajikistan: Preventive and Curative Practices
    DEVOTIONAL MUSIC AND HEALING IN BADAKHSHAN, TAJIKISTAN: PREVENTIVE AND CURATIVE PRACTICES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Benjamin David Koen, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Margarita Mazo, Adviser Professor Daniel Avorgbedor ________________________ Adviser Professor Ron Emoff School of Music Copyright by Benjamin David Koen 2003 ABSTRACT The dissertation examines current practices of music and prayer in healing among the Pamiri people of Badakhshan, Tajikistan. Over the last decade, the field of ethnomusicology has become increasingly concerned with the role of music in healing. Simultaneously, clinical research into music and healing, as well as prayer and healing has dramatically increased. Yet, the link between music and prayer in healing has not been critically examined, either in ethnomusicology or health science. To approach the topic holistically, an interdisciplinary team of researchers was assembled in Badakhshan. Through an integrated methodology of traditional ethnomusicological techniques and physiological experiments, the dissertation investigates the phenomenon of music and prayer in healing in Tajik Badakhshan. By working with master musicians, traditional healers, local religious leaders and physicians, ethnographic and physiological data were collected that form the basis of the dissertation. In the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan, the preeminent vocal and instrumental genre of devotional music is known as maddâh. It serves several cultural functions and provides an example of how music and prayer function as a unified whole in the ii context of traditional healing. Maddâh has been little researched in ethnomusicology, and its role in healing has not been explored in the literature.

After studying composition at London’s Royal College of Music, he spent the early part of his career playing trombone in an opera orchestra. It was not until the early 1900s that his career as a composer began to take off. Around this same time, he acquired positions at both St. Paul’s Girls’ School and Morley College that he would hold until retirement, despite his rising star as a composer. His music was influenced by his interest in English folk songs and Hindu mysticism, Late-Romantic era composers like Strauss and Delius, and avant-garde composers of his time like Stravinsky and Schoenberg. He is perhaps best known for composing The Planets, a massive orchestral suite that depicts the astrological character of each known planet. His works for wind band (two suites and a tone poem, Hammersmith) are foundational to the modern wind literature.

  • Philharmonia Press Quotes 6.21
    UCLA PHILHARMONiA PRESS QUOTES The UCLA Philharmonia and the entire performance (of Ian Krouse’s Armenian Requiem) is led by Neal Stulberg in a work that still has me reeling after listening to it three times…This work is definitely worth the effort. The sound is excellent: full and spacious with great stereo definition. Highly recommended to all choral buffs and people who need proof that there still are composers who can summon the heights and depths of humanity in their music. American Record Guide UCLA Philharmonia, Lark Mastersingers, Tziatzan Treble Choir September/October 2019 Ian Krouse’s powerful Armenian Requiem, commissioned by Vatsche Barsoumian’s Lark Music Society, draws on traditional liturgical chant and poetry to make a powerful case for redemption through music…With the composer producing, conductor Neal Stulberg’s command of the assembled forces – including many of LA’s finest musicians, such as the UCLA Philharmonia’s concertmaster Movses Pogossian – brings with it the assurance of authority. Gramophone UCLA Philharmonia, Lark Mastersingers, Tziatzan Treble Choir June 2019 Ian Krouse’s Armenian Requiem calls for very large forces and outstanding performers. The UCLA Philharmonia, based in Los Angeles, sounds like nothing short of a high ranking American professional orchestra. Equally incisive is the large chorus using the much acclaimed Lark Master Singers, and they too have a very demanding role to fulfill. Of the soloists I have to point to the admirable tenor, Yeghishe Manucharyan, in his exacting role, and Shoushik Barsoumian’s soprano effortlessly soaring on high in the Fourth Interlude. For the conductor, Neal Stulberg, it must have been a very challenging assignment, which he commandingly dispatches.

Jun 2008 If Brett Dean were a writer, he would belong to the category of keen and committed observers. His hallmark would be clarity of statement in a sophisticated yet comprehensible language characterised by humanity. Although it is not surprising to find such character attributes in a composer and musician, it is astounding that the composer Brett Dean can communicate so directly in a musical language that is unconditionally contemporary. This may be due to the open-mindedness of a man for whom it is not enough to write music for music’s sake but who wants to present to an audience his love of playfulness, pensive reflection and emotional engagement. The spectator experiences this range like a kaleidoscope in the ballet One of a Kind; hundreds and thousands focuses on building a bridge to INTRODUCTION popular music; and Carlo is evocative of the sensibility of the Renaissance. Dean’s compositions Intimate Decisions and Beggars and Angels were inspired by cycles of works of the same title by his wife, the painter Heather Betts.
