Whether you’re joining us for the Lilly Classical Series, the Printing Partners Pops Series, or a special event, there’s something for everyone at the Hilbert Circle Theatre this March! We begin this month with Vadim Gl uzman’s virtuosic style on Bruch’s first violin concerto, followed by Yefim Bronfman’s collaboration with Music Director Krzysztof Urbański on Beethoven’s third piano concerto. Join us in celebrating St. Patrick’s Day weekend with the Music of U2, as Brent Havens leads the ISO in some of the Irish band’s greatest hits. At the end of the month, you’re invited to experience one of the most iconic sounds of the ‘60s as the ISO shares the music of Simon & Garfunkel. This is also the time of year when we celebrate our amazing student community. At our Side-by-Side concert, you will see talented students from the Indianapolis community share the stage with their professional counterparts for a concert featuring a 100+ piece combined orchestra. Our newly announced 2018–19 season brings a wide range of exciting concerts to our patrons, from the entire Brahms symphony cycle and our Paris Festival to special guests including Dejan Lazić and Sutton Foster. Of course, we’re also celebrating the addition of Star Wars to the ISO’s Film + Orchestra Series—this is especially relevant after our concerts with Maestro John Williams last month. I invite you to consider subscribing for the upcoming season, as it is the best way to be the first to hear about our upcoming concerts, secure the best seats, and receive great benefits. As we look ahead to April, I invite you to mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 11, which is our Bon Voyage concert as the ISO prepares to travel to Washington, D.C., for the Kennedy Center’s SHIFT Festival. Joined by the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir and the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, we’re performing an amazing concert of Polish works to celebrate our music director’s homeland. This is a concert you won’t want to miss! Thank you for your support of the ISO, and I look forward to seeing you at a concert soon! Sincerely, Steve L. Hamilton Interim Chief Executive Officer Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer 5 MUSICIANS AROUND TOWN Join The Indianapolis Quartet for their concerts of “Firsts” on April 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center on the University of Indianapolis campus. “Firsts” includes first-published works for string quartet by the artistic titans Beethoven and Shostakovich and the groundbreaking quartet by Debussy.

Welcome… to Jurassic Park! 6 HUA JIN, Second Violin MUSIC IN MY LIFE The ISO “stole” Hua Jin from the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, where she was assistant concertmaster from 2004 to 2009. Prior to being a member of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, she was associate concertmaster of the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra and a regular “sub” with the Detroit Symphony. “My father is a violinist and conductor and was music director of Jiamusi Orchestra in Jiamusi, China,” Hua says. “I received my first violin lessons from him at the age of four. And at age 12, I was accepted as a violin student by the Central National Conservato- ry of Music in Beijing. At 15, I won a prize at the Chinese National Youth Violin Competition.” Hua received second prize at the Beijing Youth Violin Competition and won the 1982 Gold Prize at the Harbin Music Festival Competition. She appeared as soloist throughout northern China and the U.S. with performances of film composer Franz Waxman’s “Carmen Fantasy” and “The Lark Ascending” by Ralph Vaughan-Williams. “In addition to my music performances, I like to play chamber music and teach private violin students,” says Hua. “I like teaching. It gives me joy when I see my students progressing and I learn a lot from teaching. In preparation for a performance, I like to be absolutely confident that I can reproduce the composer’s intent with the piece.” Where did you grow up and what degree(s) do you hold? I was raised in China. I have a degree in Performance Art from Shanghai Conservatory.

  • The Romantic Trumpet Part Two
    110 HISTORIC BRASS SOCIETY JOURNAL THE ROMANTIC TRUMPET PART TWO Edward H. Tarr Continued from Historic Brass Society Journal, volume 5 (1993), pages 213-61. The two-part series is an expansion of an article written for Performance Practice Encyclopedia. We thank Roland Jackson, editor of this forthcoming reference work, for permission to we this material in HBSJ. For a Conclusion to Part One, containinga list oferrata, please see followingthe endnotes for the current installment. Summary of Part One In Part One, the author first attempted to show the various types of trumpets, cornets, and flugelhorns, both natural and chromaticized, that existed before the advent of valves, together with their literature. Before there were valved trumpets, for example, natural trumpets, etc., were made chromatic by the technique of hand-stopping or by being fitted with slides or keys. He then showed how the first valved brass instruments—in particular trumpets, and to a lesser extent, comets—were accepted into musical circles. Introduction to Part Two In Part Two, it is the author's aim to raise the flag on a forgotten figure in brass history— one who was reponsible not only for the development ofboth the Vienna valve and the rotary valve, but also for the creation of the first solo compositions for the newly invented valved trumpet: Josef Kail (1795-1871), the first professor of valved trumpet at the Prague Conservatory (served 1826-1867). For this reason, the central part of this study will be devoted to works hitherto unknown, written for the trumpet (and to a lesser extent the cornet, flugelhom, horn, and trombone) during his time.

  • The Trumpet As a Voice of Americana in the Americanist Music of Gershwin, Copland, and Bernstein
    THE TRUMPET AS A VOICE OF AMERICANA IN THE AMERICANIST MUSIC OF GERSHWIN, COPLAND, AND BERNSTEIN DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amanda Kriska Bekeny, M.M. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Timothy Leasure, Adviser Professor Charles Waddell _________________________ Dr. Margarita Ophee-Mazo Adviser School of Music ABSTRACT The turn of the century in American music was marked by a surge of composers writing music depicting an “American” character, via illustration of American scenes and reflections on Americans’ activities. In an effort to set American music apart from the mature and established European styles, American composers of the twentieth century wrote distinctive music reflecting the unique culture of their country. In particular, the trumpet is a prominent voice in this music. The purpose of this study is to identify the significance of the trumpet in the music of three renowned twentieth-century American composers. This document examines the “compositional” and “conceptual” Americanisms present in the music of George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, and Leonard Bernstein, focusing on the use of the trumpet as a voice depicting the compositional Americanisms of each composer. The versatility of its timbre allows the trumpet to stand out in a variety of contexts: it is heroic during lyrical, expressive passages; brilliant during festive, celebratory sections; and rhythmic during percussive statements. In addition, it is a lead jazz voice in much of this music. As a dominant voice in a variety of instances, the trumpet expresses the American character of each composer’s music.

  • Timelapse Variations Final Draft
    UCLA Contemporary Music Score Collection Title Timelapse Variations Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8nr7s11j Author Draper, Natalie Publication Date 2020 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Timelapse Variations Natalie Draper (2016) Dedication: Timelapse Variations is dedicated to Jordan Randall Smith and Symphony Number One. Many thanks for the opportunity. Instrumentation: Flute Oboe Clarinets (Bb and bass) Bassoon Horn in F Snare Drum Kick Drum Piano Violin I Violin II Viola Violoncello Contrabass Program Notes: Timelapse Variations (2016), for chamber orchestra, is a musical reflection on the timelapse technique in film. I have always been fascinated by how change and growth are perceived in timelapse videos. For me, the timelapse technique, with its surreal perception of change, distances the audience from the image, allowing for a vastly removed perspective--almost as if you are witnessing life from above. The image inherently becomes a meditation on the passage of time itself. In this way, Timelapse Variations is a meditation on musical change and is perhaps more of a soundscape than a traditional symphonic narrative. The piece has several sections, all of which incorporate a variety of processes of gradual change. Many thanks to Symphony Number One for the opportunity to write this piece. - Natalie Draper Performance Notes: This piece is all about gradual change. Close attention should be paid to dynamics and instrument balance. Gestures pop out of the fabric of the work. Overall the piece should have a pedaled, legato sound, without being too mushy.

  • MUSICAL CENSORSHIP and REPRESSION in the UNION of SOVIET COMPOSERS: KHRENNIKOV PERIOD Zehra Ezgi KARA1, Jülide GÜNDÜZ
    SAYI 17 BAHAR 2018 MUSICAL CENSORSHIP AND REPRESSION IN THE UNION OF SOVIET COMPOSERS: KHRENNIKOV PERIOD Zehra Ezgi KARA1, Jülide GÜNDÜZ Abstract In the beginning of 1930s, institutions like Association for Contemporary Music and the Russian Association of Proletarian Musicians were closed down with the aim of gathering every study of music under one center, and under the control of the Communist Party. As a result, all the studies were realized within the two organizations of the Composers’ Union in Moscow and Leningrad in 1932, which later merged to form the Union of Soviet Composers in 1948. In 1948, composer Tikhon Khrennikov (1913-2007) was appointed as the frst president of the Union of Soviet Composers by Andrei Zhdanov and continued this post until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Being one of the most controversial fgures in the history of Soviet music, Khrennikov became the third authority after Stalin and Zhdanov in deciding whether a composer or an artwork should be censored or supported by the state. Khrennikov’s main job was to ensure the application of socialist realism, the only accepted doctrine by the state, on the feld of music, and to eliminate all composers and works that fell out of this context. According to the doctrine of socialist realism, music should formalize the Soviet nationalist values and serve the ideals of the Communist Party. Soviet composers should write works with folk music elements which would easily be appreciated by the public, prefer classical orchestration, and avoid atonality, complex rhythmic and harmonic structures. In this period, composers, performers or works that lacked socialist realist values were regarded as formalist.

  • Building Bridges Through Music: a Recording and Performance Collaboration with Adult Composers, Young Soloists, and Collegiate Band Accompaniment
    Building Bridges through Music: A Recording and Performance Collaboration with Adult Composers, Young Soloists, and Collegiate Band Accompaniment by Melanie Jane Brooks A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved April 2018 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Gary W. Hill, Co-Chair Jason Caslor, Co-Chair Melita Belgrave Amy Holbrook Deanna Swoboda ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2018 ABSTRACT Although music is regarded as a universal language, it is rare to find musicians of different ages, ability levels, and backgrounds interacting with each other in collaborative performances. There is a dearth of mixed-ability-level wind band and string orchestra repertoire, and the few pieces that exist fail to celebrate the talents of the youngest and least-experienced performers. Composers writing music for school-age ensembles have also been excluded from the collaborative process, rarely communicating with the young musicians for whom they are writing. This project introduced twenty-nine compositions into the wind band and string orchestra repertoire via a collaboration that engaged multiple constituencies. Students of wind and string instruments from Phoenix’s El Sistema-inspired Harmony Project and the Tijuana-based Niños de La Guadalupana Villa Del Campo worked together with students at Arizona State University and composers from Canada, Finland, and across the United States to learn and record concertos for novice-level soloists with intermediate-level accompaniment ensembles. This project was influenced by the intergenerational ensembles common in Finnish music institutes. The author provides a document which includes a survey of the existing concerto repertoire for wind bands and previous intergenerational and multicultural studies in the field of music.
