No matter how intricate the composition, it wells up from the body at the center of the stage. Significantly, this is the first classical genre to be dominated by women…the expressivity of the female voice speaks, at last, for female ideas.“ - Alex Ross, New Yorker magazine Meredith Monk’s “spectacularly beautiful” Weave, commissioned by the St. Louis Symphony and the LA Master Chorale, opens WNMF 2017.

Program Notes From the Liner Notes of All Can Work After pondering many titles for this record, I realized All Can Work epitomizes the flexible, optimistic resolve that is needed by everyone involved to do a record like this. This phrase, “All Can Work,” and the lyrics in this title track are taken directly from the emails in my inbox from Laurie Frink, our beloved trumpeter, whom we lost in 2013. When I first moved to NYC and started playing with and hearing big bands, Laurie was a special thread that wove through them all—it seemed like she played in every band I saw! A master of the short, perfect email reply, Laurie was also the consummate team player, the type of personality that is profoundly needed in a large ensemble.

  • Analysing the Brand-Building of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950S to 2010S
    How to Build a Brand for a Composer: Analysing the Brand-building of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950s to 2010s Joel Valkila Bachelor’s Thesis Degree Programme in International Business… 2020 Abstract 20 May, 2020 Author(s) Joel Valkila Degree programme International Business Report/thesis title Number of pages How to Build a Brand for a Composer: Analysing the Brand-build- and attachment ing of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950s to 2010s pages 95 The aim of this study was to analyse the brand building of Einojuhani Rautavaara (1928– 2016), one of the most successful names in Finnish music exports of the last decades. The purpose is to collect a resource on how composers, publishers, record companies and other affiliates can support the personal branding and promotion of music artists and com- posers. For this qualitative study, Rautavaara’s own writings were used as primary data and com- bined with secondary data from archival and documentary research. Interviews with indi- viduals from the music industry were also conducted. This information enables us to see in detail the marketing efforts on Rautavaara’s music that intensified since the 1990s, and how they affected the composer’s brand. The analysis of the composer’s brand also in- cludes, besides various branding theories, the composer’s sonic and visual branding. This study can be a helpful resource for artists, composers, recording companies and pub- lishers in enabling them to identify features that can be of benefit in marketing and brand- ing efforts. Key findings of this study suggest that building a brand for an artist, such as a composer, is a long-term process that requires time and effort.

  • A. Mihalyi: Meredith Monkl, WAM Casopis, Recenzije, Glazba, Classical
    MAGIJA VOKALA MEREDITH MONK Aleksandar Mihalyi Ako bi smo odabrali kreativno uspješnu i jedinstvenu skladateljicu i vokalisticu temeljem uspješnosti njezinog dosadašnjeg djelovanja te glasovnih mogućnosti koje izmiču uobičajenim klasifikacijama, onda bi se Meredith Jane Monk nametnula kao prvi izbor. Dodatni povod je i obilježavanje njezinog 70. rođendana ove godine – rođena je 1942. godine u New Yorku, SAD. Njezina pozicija vodeće umjetnice u američkoj avangardnoj glazbi traje od Karijeru je započela kasnih šezdesetih kao plesačica i koreograf kada je samih početaka minimalizma, a već i tada je imala izdvojenu poziciju jer je izučila umijeće poniranja do esencijalne ekspresivnosti pokretom, te nedugo vokalnu tehniku temeljila na istočnjačkim tradicijama (tzv. ekstenizirani glas zatim i glasom prije nego riječima. Monk u ovom kontekstu ističe da se – ponajprije upotrebom posebnih tehnika disanja) te u ponavljanju kratkih riječima štitimo od direktnog iskustva – tijelo treba pustiti da se fraza sličnim mantri (što su činili i ostali minimalisti). Na tu njenu izdvojenu izražava/reagira glasom (vokalizama) i pokretom. Potom, u vrijeme poziciju ponajviše je utjecalo njezino rano pohađanje škole euritmije koje tolerantne klime za diletantizam kada otkriva u sebi: „.. snažniji kreativni joj je potom i usmjerilo karijeru, odnosno interese ka povezivanju glazbe sa od interpretativnog impulsa“, ona započinje i svoju glazbenu karijeru kao pokretom s ciljem da glazbi scenom i koreografijom doda mitsko i povijesno pjevačica (inače ima izniman lirski sopran širokog raspona) i skladateljica, tumačenje. No, teško se kod nje ne može govoriti o eklekticizmu budući da kompletirajući tako autorstvo svojim scenskim djelima, koja se, uz neke Monk ponajprije asimilira ono što drži potrebnim za tehnički aspekt njezinih ograde, mogu svrstati u glazbeni teatar.

Matt is not a pianist or otherwise a specialist in musical repertoire, but somehow or another he had come across an album of Finnish pianist Laura Mikkola performing works of Chopin and Einojuhani Rautavaara. I listened skeptically, intending only to humor my friend; but found myself unexpectedly blown away by one piece included on the disk, Einojuhani Rautavaara’s Sonata no. 2, “Fire Sermon.”1 It was dynamite. I ordered a score, which was hard to come by at the time. (At the time of this writing, in 2018, scans of the score are readily available, legally or otherwise, online.) I searched online and through various databases for articles on the subject of the sonata or on Rautavaara's piano music in general, and found precious little.

    NORTHERN STARS MUSIC FROM THE NORDIC AND BALTIC REGIONS NAXOS • MARCO POLO • ONDINE • PROPRIUS • SWEDISH SOCIETY • DACAPO Northern Stars Often inspired by folk tradition, nature, landscape and a potent spirit of independence, the music of Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltic states is distinctive and varied, with each country’s music influenced by its neighbours, yet shaped and coloured by its individual heritage. Traveling composers such as Sweden’s Joseph Kraus introduced 18th and early 19th century classical trends from Germany and Italy, but with national identity gaining increasing importance as Romantic ideals took hold, influential and distinctive creative lines were soon established. The muscular strength of Carl Nielsen’s symphonies grew out of the Danish nationalist vigor shown by Friedrich Kuhlau and Niels Gade, extending to names such as Per Nørgård today. Gade was a teacher of Edvard Grieg, who owes his position as Norway’s leading composer, at least in part, to the country’s traditional folk music and the poignant lyricism of the Hardanger fiddle. The music of Finland is dominated by the rugged symphonies of Jean Sibelius, and his Finlandia ensured his status as an enduring national symbol. Sibelius successfully combined the lessons of Viennese romanticism with a strong Nordic character, and this pragmatic approach has generated numerous contemporary giants such as Aus Sallinen, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Kalevi Aho and Kaija Saariaho. Turbulent history in the Baltic States partially explains a conspicuous individualism amongst the region’s composers, few more so than with Arvo Pärt, whose work distils the strong Estonian vocal tradition into music of striking intensity and crystalline beauty.

The Early Medieval Music (500-1150). i. Early chant traditions Chant (or plainsong) is a monophonic sacred form which represents the earliest known music of the Christian Church. The simplest, syllabic chants, in which each syllable is set to one note, were probably intended to be sung by the choir or congregation, while the more florid, melismatic examples (which have many notes to each syllable) were probably performed by soloists. Plainchant melodies (which are sometimes referred to as a “drown,” are characterized by the following: A monophonic texture; For ease of singing, relatively conjunct melodic contour (meaning no large intervals between one note and the next) and a restricted range (no notes too high or too low); and Rhythms based strictly on the articulation of the word being sung (meaning no steady dancelike beats). Chant developed separately in several European centers, the most important being Rome, Hispania, Gaul, Milan and Ireland. Chant was developed to support the regional liturgies used when celebrating Mass. Each area developed its own chant and rules for celebration. In Spain and Portugal, Mozarabic chant was used, showing the influence of North Afgican music. The Mozarabic liturgy survived through Muslim rule, though this was an isolated strand and was later suppressed in an attempt to enforce conformity on the entire liturgy.

The manager of one team in this tournament said after one match that ‘Jesus Christ may be able to turn the other cheek, but [one player] isn't Jesus Christ’. Another player was called ‘the most hated man in Trinidad and Tobago’ after pulling Brent Sancho’s dreadlocks before scoring a header for England in this tournament. Valentin Ivanov handed out four red cards and sixteen yellows during a match in this tournament between Portugal and the Netherlands called ‘the Battle of Nuremberg’.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: For her newest music-theater work, Meredith Monk offers a poetic meditation on our intimate connection to nature and the fragility of its ecology. Within this world, Monk evokes the Buddhist notion of the existence of different realm categories—the idea of joining heaven and earth by way of human beings. Drawing additional inspiration from writers and researchers who have sounded the alarm on the precarious state of our global ecology, Monk and her acclaimed Vocal Ensemble create a liminal space where human, natural and spiritual elements are woven into a delicate whole, illuminating the interconnection and interdependency of us all. The Vocal Ensemble consists of multitalented singers / performers / instrumentalists Sidney Chen, Ellen Fisher, Katie Geissinger, Bohdan Hilash, John Hollenbeck, Bruce Rameker and Allison Sniffin.
