  • Identifying Common Hand Position and Posture Problems with Young Musicians
    Identifying Common Hand Position and Posture Problems with Young Musicians Flute: Students should not allow their right elbow angle to be tucked into their side—this will angle the flute down. Students need to use the pads of their fingers and not let their fingers hang over the keys. In addition, their fingers should not “fly high” but should stay close to the keys. Oboe: Watch the angle of the instrument. Often, oboe students play too close into their body and close off the reed. Sometimes, they also lower their head and this decreases lower lip pressure, resulting in unfocused tone and flat pitch. Their fingers need to stay low and close to the keys. Encourage students to not bite down, which closes off the reed. You should teach the correct combination of corner firmness and open reed akin to drinking a thick milkshake. Bassoon: It’s important for students to “bring the instrument to YOU, not you to the bassoon.” Sometimes students struggle with holding the instrument and it’s important that the angle of the instrument be over the left shoulder. Watch the hand position for the whisper key F—students should keep the hand position flat and horizontal, not angled. Clarinet: The top teeth should be on top of the mouthpiece and the teeth should be at the fulcrum, the place where the reed meets the mouthpiece. Most clarinetists don’t put enough mouthpiece in the mouth. Focus heavily on a flat chin. Make sure the fingers stay curved as if holding a tennis ball and the fingers should be straight across, not angled (students like to angle their fingers to rest on the side keys).

  • Female Composer Segment Catalogue
    FEMALE CLASSICAL COMPOSERS from past to present ʻFreed from the shackles and tatters of the old tradition and prejudice, American and European women in music are now universally hailed as important factors in the concert and teaching fields and as … fast developing assets in the creative spheres of the profession.’ This affirmation was made in 1935 by Frédérique Petrides, the Belgian-born female violinist, conductor, teacher and publisher who was a pioneering advocate for women in music. Some 80 years on, it’s gratifying to note how her words have been rewarded with substance in this catalogue of music by women composers. Petrides was able to look back on the foundations laid by those who were well-connected by family name, such as Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, and survey the crop of composers active in her own time, including Louise Talma and Amy Beach in America, Rebecca Clarke and Liza Lehmann in England, Nadia Boulanger in France and Lou Koster in Luxembourg. She could hardly have foreseen, however, the creative explosion in the latter half of the 20th century generated by a whole new raft of female composers – a happy development that continues today. We hope you will enjoy exploring this catalogue that has not only historical depth but a truly international voice, as exemplified in the works of the significant number of 21st-century composers: be it the highly colourful and accessible American chamber music of Jennifer Higdon, the Asian hues of Vivian Fung’s imaginative scores, the ancient-and-modern syntheses of Sofia Gubaidulina, or the hallmark symphonic sounds of the Russian-born Alla Pavlova.

  • Le Corsaire Overture, Op. 21
    Any time Joshua Bell makes an appearance, it’s guaranteed to be impressive! I can’t wait to hear him perform the monumental Brahms Violin Concerto alongside some fireworks for the orchestra. It’s a don’t-miss evening! EMILY GLOVER, NCS VIOLIN Le Corsaire Overture, Op. 21 HECTOR BERLIOZ BORN December 11, 1803, in Côte-Saint-André, France; died March 8, 1869, in Paris PREMIERE Composed 1844, revised before 1852; first performance January 19, 1845, in Paris, conducted by the composer OVERVIEW The Random House Dictionary defines “corsair” both as “a pirate” and as “a ship used for piracy.” Berlioz encountered one of the former on a wild, stormy sea voyage in 1831 from Marseilles to Livorno, on his way to install himself in Rome as winner of the Prix de Rome. The grizzled old buccaneer claimed to be a Venetian seaman who had piloted the ship of Lord Byron during the poet’s adventures in the Adriatic and the Greek archipelago, and his fantastic tales helped the young composer keep his mind off the danger aboard the tossing vessel. They landed safely, but the experience of that storm and the image of Lord Byron painted by the corsair stayed with him. When Berlioz arrived in Rome, he immersed himself in Byron’s poem The Corsair, reading much of it in, of all places, St. Peter’s Basilica. “During the fierce summer heat I spent whole days there ... drinking in that burning poetry,” he wrote in his Memoirs. It was also at that time that word reached him that his fiancée in Paris, Camile Moke, had thrown him over in favor of another suitor.

  • Buffalo's Gold Rush
    Speech To Saturn Club Buffalo, New York By Robert J.A. Irwin February 16, 2005 Buffalo’s Gold Rush (Informal remarks about candy gold coins passed out at dinner.) Gold is ideal for coins. It is extremely malleable, it’s beautiful and it doesn’t tarnish. Some of the most beautiful gold coins in the world have been minted by the United States since shortly after our Revolutionary War until 1933 and then from 1986 until now. Their appearance has been controversial, particularly with regard to the motto, “In God We Trust” inscribed by law on all our coins since 1866. In. 1866 the then Secretary of the Treasury, Salmon Chase declared, “No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in his defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins.” When Theodore Roosevelt became President in the early 20th Century he decided it was time to design a more exciting and modern looking $20 gold piece to replace the rather prosaic Liberty Head design. He commissioned his friend and noted sculptor, August St-Gaudens to create a new design and omit “In God We Trust.” Roosevelt was a religious man but he believed that it was inappropriate for 1 a coin that would be thrown around in bars and gambling hells to carry an invocation to our deity. St-Gaudens’ beautiful new coin with a standing figure of Liberty and no motto was issued in 1907. The next year responding to national outrage Congress ordered that the motto be reinstated.

  • Where Keynes Went Wrong
    Praise for Where Keynes Went Wrong “[An] impassioned . and . much needed book. In plain prose, . Hunter Lewis . begins by patiently walking us through precisely what Keynes said . then reveals why Keynes’s work is ‘remarkably unsupported by evidence or logic.’ Lewis does much more besides, showing how Keynesianism has lived in the minds and hearts of politicians, with disastrous results.” —Gene Epstein, Barron’s “Lewis has exposed with unmatched clarity the lineaments of Keynes’s system and enabled us to see exactly its disabling defects. Keynes defied common sense, unable to sustain the brilliant para- doxes that his fertile intellect constantly devised. Lewis’s book is an ideal guide to Keynes’s dangerous and destructive economics. .” —David Gordon, LewRockwell.com “Just what the world needs, and just in time. Keynes is demolished and his quack system refuted. But this wonderful book does more. It restores clear thinking and common sense to their rightful places in the economic policy debate. Three cheers for Hunter Lewis!” —James Grant, Editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer “Hunter Lewis has written a splendid book called Where Keynes We nt Wrong. The dissection of the English economist who died in 1946 is especially timely, given that the past two administra- tions and the current one are identical in believing wholeheart- edly in . key Keynesian dogma.” —Patrick McIlheran, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “[This] compelling, powerful, and extremely readable book . is fantastic. ‘Must’ reading.” —Kevin Price, CBS and CNN Radio and BizPlusBlog “Lewis has done a service, even if in the negative, of concisely and critically summarizing Keynes’s economic theories, and his book will make readers think.” —Library Journal “[This] highly readable .
