Westminster Choir Joe Miller, Conductor Westminster Choir Joe Miller, conductor 2016 Concert Tour A Tapestry • Voices Westminster Choir College and its community have been likened to a tapestry—a fabric with a rich texture and design. Our tapestry is woven from individual threads that are permanently connected to one another, telling a story that is far greater than the sum of its individual strands. Every individual touched by Westminster— through the work of our students and our alumni, through our performances—becomes a part of the Westminster tapestry. The Tapestry of Voices project seeks to represent the threads added to Westminster’s fabric through the Westminster Choir’s 2016 tour performances. Titled “Angel Band,” the tour concert program is centered on a theme of shared experience and community. Each performance creates a new community—composed of the choir and the audience. For those few hours we share an experience, a connection, a moment in time. We may enter the concert hall as strangers, and we may never see each other again, but for those few hours we have created a community and added new threads to the Westminster tapestry. The Project Before each performance, members of the audience are invited to reflect on their lives at that point in time and to select one word that best represents them as they join the concert community. After writing their word on a piece of paper they are photographed. Following each concert, the photographs are collected, printed, and placed in a communal vessel during key moments in the succeeding concerts, representing the community created by the audience and choir at each tour concert. When the choir returns to Princeton, all of the photographs will be used to create an art installation that will appear with the choir on the stage at its Homecoming Concert. The photographs will also be the centerpiece of a video weaving together images and music to represent the many people and communities connected through Westminster—the choir and the college—a Tapestry of Voices. Angel Band Westminster Choir Joe Miller, conductor Conductor’s Note “O come, come angel band, come and around me stand; Oh bear me away on your snowy wings to my eternal home” is a strain that I can remember from my childhood in East Tennessee. Wrapping ourselves in beautiful song is something that we all seek, and the songs that we sing as a community form our collective conscience. Think about the times that you have felt immense pride in hearing the national anthem when an Olympic athlete wins the gold medal, the sense of comfort that many take in the hymn Abide with Me, or the need to dance and smile when we hear Pharrell Williams’ Happy. The gospel song Angel Band will become the thread of this concert that reminds us that we are all bound together and that we can build a unique bond by experiencing this concert together. Along with Angel Band serving as a central musical theme, or cantus firmus, is the setting of Francis Poulenc’s Mass in G Major. The Mass is a central organizing feature of the church. It represents a shared experience in our journey of life. Poulenc’s Mass in G Major is a stark juxtaposition with the music of the old gospel tune. Poulenc says that his Mass has “a realistic side.” His vision of the world through this work is a kaleidoscope rather than a clear singular perspective. From the opening of the Kyrie, which utilizes a Byzantine-like stark sound, Poulenc takes us on a journey through fierce harmonies that are rarely what we expect and epic battles of range and texture; however, the power of the work is found in the moments of pure simplicity that bring the listener back to a place of home. Even when the music has led us to far away places, it seems to always come back to a sense of peace. This program is broken into five scenes. Each scene infuses a movement of the Mass with the pervading Angel Band theme. In the first section, Kyrie, we ask for mercy and seek a way to belong. The second section, Gloria, celebrates life, and in the third section, Sanctus, we care for things that Please note: are holy and beautiful. After intermission we continue with the fourth section, Benedictus, which The unauthorized use of focuses on the blessings of home and family, and finally in the fifth section, Agnus Dei, we ask each any recording device, other for forgiveness. This journey of life begins and ends with us searching for mercy and hope. either audio or video, and The words of Angel Band remind us to remember that a life surrounded by the love of others is the the taking of p hotographs, either key to life’s meaning. As in Poulenc’s Mass in G Major, our journeys bring us enlightenment, and with or without flash, is strictly prohibited. they will hopefully lead is to a life of peace and mutual understanding. Out of courtesy to the performers My interest in putting this program together was inspired by my passion for building community. and e veryone in the audience, Singing together is the best way to bring people together.

This essay takes a closer look at one of the most remarkable exemptions of the prevailing memory culture at Holocaust memorials: the sites and events highlighting Anne Frank and her short life in troubled times. Over the past years millions of travelers from all over the world have shown a genuine interest in learning about the life world of their young heroine thus creating what has been termed Anne Frank Tourism. In 2014, 1.2 million people visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam: the museum and educational center, the place in hiding where she wrote her now famous and widely read diary. Several other sites connected to the life path of Anne Frank, from her birth place in Frankfurt to the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp where her life prematurely ended, have also become part of the mostly young tourists’ search for Anne Frank’s life and legacy. With the rising popularity of Anne Frank related sites the management of some of the locales has become more problematic which is discussed in the context of a several museums, centers and historic sites.

  • RICCARDO MUTI New World Records 80370 CHARLES DUTOIT the PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA VINCENT PERSICHETTI
    RICCARDO MUTI New World Records 80370 CHARLES DUTOIT THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA VINCENT PERSICHETTI Symphony for Strings Piano Concerto ROBERT TAUB, piano During the last four decades of his life, the name of Vincent Persichetti came to signify musicianship of a comprehensiveness virtually unmatched among American composers. Today his influence continues, reaching young pianists nurtured on his Sonatinas and Little Piano Book, school musicians who first experience serious contemporary music through his works for band, church choirs who turn to his Hymns and Responses for the Church Year as an inexhaustible resource, young composers who find his classic textbook Twentieth Century Harmony an indispensable tool, and soloists and conductors for whom his sonatas, concertos, and symphonies stand among the masterworks of American music. Throughout his life Persichetti encouraged healthy, creative participation in music at all levels of sophistication, while shunning dogmas that advocate one compositional approach at the expense of others. Persichetti was born in Philadelphia in 1915, and remained a lifelong resident of that city. At the age of five, he learned to play the piano, organ, and double bass at the Combs Conservatory. He also studied theory and composition under Russell King Miller, who became his most influential teacher. Immershing himself in music while in his teens, Persichetti memorized the scores to be performed weekly by the Philadelphia Orchestra and then attended the concerts to compare his mental realizations with the actual sounds. Composition was an integral part of his study from the start, as was exposure to other arts. Persichetti attended art school during his adolescence, and sculpture continued to be an important creative outlet for him until his death in 1987.

  • Download Augustin Dumay Biography
    Augustin Dumay International critics have compared Augustin Dumay to the great violinists of the 20th century, describing him as a “great classical stylist”, a reputation underscored by his outstanding recordings for Deutsche Grammophon: Beethoven’s complete sonatas with Maria João Pires, a set that “surely ranks with Grumiaux/Haskil, Menuhin/Kempff, or Perlman/Ashkenazy” (International Piano), Brahms’ trios in which “the Milstein legacy in Dumay’s playing is wonderfully apparent” (Gramophone), and Mozart’s concertos with the Camerata Salzburg, “without exaggeration one of the finest Mozart violin concerto discs ever made” (Classic CD), in which he “confirms that he is an exceptional interpreter of Mozart as were Stern or Grumiaux before him” (Classica). Born into a family of musicians – his mother is a cellist and pianist, his father an amateur violinist – Augustin Dumay started violin lessons at the age of 5, after attending a concert by Nathan Milstein. Aged ten, he entered the Paris Conservatoire, winning the premier prix at the age of thirteen. His first concert at the Théâtre des Champs- Élysée followed a year later and he then appeared at the Montreux Festival, playing for Joseph Szigeti and Henryk Szeryng, who invited him to replace him on a tour of South America. On his return, Augustin Dumay worked in Paris with Nathan Milstein, who said of him: “I believe he will take his place amongt the great violinists of the year 2000”. He then went on to work in Brussels with Arthur Grumiaux for five years. He soon became familiar to concert audiences in France, but his international career took off thanks to his encounter with Herbert von Karajan.
