APRIL 2016 LIST See Inside for Valid Dates tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 APRIL 2016 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer, Where to start?! This is the question that always arises when we come to pick our priority new releases each month. Generally speaking, the more established labels feature the artists and repertoire that are most likely to be at the top of the agenda for us all, but sometimes other names will sneak in there, proving themselves worthy of some extra attention. Resonus Classics is a prime example of a label that has been gradually building a stong reputation in recent years. Initially offering only downloads, they have now ventured into the more costly exercise of producing CDs and we are very pleased to be in a position to offer all of these at a discount for a couple of months (back page). Their latest release can be found on p.3 - a wonderful performance from The Queen’s Six of music by the likes of Byrd, Morley and Weelkes - and don’t forget their multi-award winning recording of Bach’s Cello Suites from David Watkin. Production values are high and the company comes with our highest recommendation. Four renowned pianists issue new discs this month: Stephen Hough gives us concertos from Dvorak and Schumann (Hyperion); Ingrid Fliter also performs Schumann, but coupled with Mendelssohn (Linn); Paul Lewis is magnificent in Brahms (Harmonia Mundi) and Yevgeny Sudbin gives a technically stunning performance of sonatas by Scarlatti (BIS). Other new releases to highlight are the beginning of a Vaughan Williams cycle from Andrew Manze and the RLPO, the continuation of Neeme Jarvi’s exploration of French orchestral music on Chandos with a disc of music by Ibert, glorious Monteverdi from The Sixteen (Coro) and enthralling Schubert from the Quatuor Ebene (Erato). There are also two exciting large boxsets to note: the complete sacred cantatas of JS Bach from the Bach Collegium Japan (BIS) and a deluxe commemorative box of recordings from Yehudi Menuhin (Warner Classics) - both at special prices for a limited time. Finally, a brief mention of our special offers this month: three core labels reduced in the shape of Onyx, Delphian and Dacapo; a generous number DVDs and Blu-rays discounted from Opus Arte; the afore-mentioned Resonus Classics alongside another smaller outfit, Stone Records; plus titles from Helios, Heritage and selections from Yevgeny Sudbin and Les Arts Florissants. Plenty to get your teeth into! Best regards from, The Europadisc Team DON’T FORGET - UK Carriage is FREE over £35! Resonus Classics 20% off all titles - normally £13.95, now £11.16 each (except where stated) JS Bach - The Six Cello Suites 2CD - SPECIAL PRICE £12.95 RES 10147 multi-award winning! Renowned cellist and interpreter of baroque music David Watkin records the Cello Suites by JS Bach, rightly considered as the pinnacle of writing for solo cello. Juror of the Leipzig Bach Competition, former principal cellist of the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique & the English Baroque Soloists, as well as the cellist of the critically acclaimed Eroica Quartet, Watkin gives a captivating and truly individual account of the six suites, the result of decades of performing and studying these compelling and fascinating works. The six suites are recorded on gut strings and on two original historic instruments of note, including the unique five-string cello by Brothers Amati, dating from c. 1600, and a four-string by a likely pupil of Amati, Francesco Rugeri, dating from c. 1670.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Transcending Imagination; Or, An Approach to Music and Symbolism during the Russian Silver Age A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Ryan Isao Rowen 2015 © Copyright by Ryan Isao Rowen 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Transcending Imagination; Or, An Approach to Music and Symbolism during the Russian Silver Age by Ryan Isao Rowen Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Mitchell Bryan Morris, Chair The Silver Age has long been considered one of the most vibrant artistic movements in Russian history. Due to sweeping changes that were occurring across Russia, culminating in the 1917 Revolution, the apocalyptic sentiments of the general populace caused many intellectuals and artists to turn towards esotericism and occult thought. With this, there was an increased interest in transcendentalism, and art was becoming much more abstract. The tenets of the Russian Symbolist movement epitomized this trend. Poets and philosophers, such as Vladimir Solovyov, Andrei Bely, and Vyacheslav Ivanov, theorized about the spiritual aspects of words and music. It was music, however, that was singled out as possessing transcendental properties. In recent decades, there has been a surge in scholarly work devoted to the transcendent strain in Russian Symbolism. The end of the Cold War has brought renewed interest in trying to understand such an enigmatic period in Russian culture. While much scholarship has been ii devoted to Symbolist poetry, there has been surprisingly very little work devoted to understanding how the soundscape of music works within the sphere of Symbolism.

  • Songs in Fixed Forms
    Songs in Fixed Forms by Margaret P. Hasselman 1 Introduction Fourteenth century France saw the development of several well-defined song structures. In contrast to the earlier troubadours and trouveres, the 14th-century songwriters established standardized patterns drawn from dance forms. These patterns then set up definite expectations in the listeners. The three forms which became standard, which are known today by the French term "formes fixes" (fixed forms), were the virelai, ballade and rondeau, although those terms were rarely used in that sense before the middle of the 14th century. (An older fixed form, the lai, was used in the Roman de Fauvel (c. 1316), and during the rest of the century primarily by Guillaume de Machaut.) All three forms make use of certain basic structural principles: repetition and contrast of music; correspondence of music with poetic form (syllable count and rhyme); couplets, in which two similar phrases or sections end differently, with the second ending more final or "closed" than the first; and refrains, where repetition of both words and music create an emphatic reference point. Contents • Definitions • Historical Context • Character and Provenance, with reference to specific examples • Notes and Selected Bibliography Definitions The three structures can be summarized using the conventional letters of the alphabet for repeated sections. Upper-case letters indicate that both text and music are identical. Lower-case letters indicate that a section of music is repeated with different words, which necessarily follow the same poetic form and rhyme-scheme. 1. Virelai The virelai consists of a refrain; a contrasting verse section, beginning with a couplet (two halves with open and closed endings), and continuing with a section which uses the music and the poetic form of the refrain; and finally a reiteration of the refrain.

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.

  • 2020 04 EXILES Rakhmaninov
    Exiles from Revolution Rakhmaninov reclaimed Sergei Rakhmaninov left Russia in December 1917, soon after the Bolsheviks seized power. He never returned. In the early Soviet years his music was seen as archaic “not so much the music of yesterday, as sometime last week”. For a while it seemed that Rakhmaninov might simply fade from Soviet memory. But that didn’t happen. In the 1930s Soviet musical aesthetics changed. Modernism receded into the past. The new style converged with Rakhmaninov… but with a socialist message. Soviet acceptance of Rakhmaninov was speeded up by his patriotic response to the 1941 Nazi invasion. After his death, in 1943, a process of reclamation began. In 1944 an early symphony emerged from a Leningrad archive. Suppressed by Rakhmaninov since the 1890s, this gave a radical new perspective on the composer. © 2020 Terry Metheringham [email protected] +44 7528 835 422 Soviet Music: Exiles from Revolution Session 4: Rakhmaninov reclaimed 2 Rakhmaninov’s background Sergei Rakhmaninov (1873-1943) was born into an aristocratic family. It was a family with musical pedigree too: his grandfather had been a piano pupil of John Field. Sergei graduated from Moscow Conservatoire in 1892 only the third person to be awarded the Great Gold Medal. His teachers were Siloti piano. (Siloti was Sergei’s cousin, underlining the family musical pedigree.) Taneyev counter-point. Arensky composition. Rakhmaninov built an international reputation as a composer, conductor and pianist. He lived in Dresden 1906-09 (in part as an escape from the revolutionary turmoil in Russia, which had started in 1905). He undertook concert tours of USA in 1909, and Britain in 1914.
