Tag us on your social media using the hashtag #LCOTogether Elfrida Andrée Concert Overture This edition of Andree Concert Overture has been kindly produced by Dr. Susan Pickett. Swedish composer and organist Elfrida Andrée (1841-1929) was a pioneer of her time. An activist in Sweden’s suffragette movement, Andrée advocated for law reform so that she would be permitted to work as a professional organist in Stockholm and Gothenburg, and became the first woman in Sweden to do so. -
Poulenc Stabat Mater and Bruckner Motets
Welcome to Etcetera’s sixth appearance in this prestigious venue. Over 300 events are put on here every year, so do look at what is on – in particular our concert is part of the second St John’s Smith Square Holy Week Festival, curated in partnership with Tenebrae, running to Easter Sunday. Having given a concert here on the Tuesday of Holy Week since 2013 we were delighted to have been welcomed for the inaugural Festival last year. It was during a meeting to discuss our plans for this year that Nigel Short, Director of Tenebrae and curator of the Festival, mentioned Poulenc’s rarely performed Stabat Mater. I shall be forever grateful. The Poulenc setting of the Stabat Mater is an extraordinary piece of music, and many choir members have said what a great privilege it has been to work towards a potentially once-in-a-lifetime performance. This is undoubtedly the most challenging and ambitious concert Etcetera has tackled, and we have had to work very hard, collectively and individually. Whether we made the right decision to do it, we shall find out today. As an un-auditioned workplace choir, meeting one lunchtime a week we have already achieved some remarkable things. We hope we achieve something extraordinary today. I remain immensely grateful to Richard Heason, Director of this venue, and his team, for all their support and for giving us the tremendous opportunity to perform here. On everyone’s behalf I should like to thank you for making it all worthwhile by coming to support us today and for your generosity at the end. -
Poulenc, Francis (1899-1963) by Mario Champagne
Poulenc, Francis (1899-1963) by Mario Champagne Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Francis Poulenc with harpsichordist Wanda Landowska. One of the first openly gay composers, Francis Poulenc wrote concerti, chamber music, choral and vocal works, and operas. His diverse compositions are characterized by bright colors, strong rhythms, and novel harmonies. Although his early music is light, he ultimately became one of the most thoughtful composers of serious music in the twentieth century. Poulenc was born on January 7, 1899 into a well-off Parisian family. His father, a devout Roman Catholic, directed the pharmaceutical company that became Rhône-Poulenc; his mother, a free-thinker, was a talented amateur pianist. He began studying the piano at five and was following a promising path leading to admission to the Conservatoire that was cut short by the untimely death of his parents. Although he did not attend the Conservatoire he did study music and composition privately. At the death of his parents, Poulenc inherited Noizay, a country estate near his grandparents' home, which would be an important retreat for him as he gained fame. It was also the source of several men in his life, including his second lover, the bisexual Raymond Destouches, a chauffeur who was the dedicatee of the surrealistic opera Les mamelles de Tirésias (1944) and the World War II Resistance cantata La figure humaine (1943). From 1914 to 1917, Poulenc studied with the Spanish pianist Ricardo Viñes, through whom he met other musicians, especially Georges Auric, Erik Satie, and Manuel de Falla. -

September 2016 – July 2017
SEPTEMBER 2016 –JULY 2017 Director’s Introduction Frances Marshall Photography One of Britain’s foremost singers, Sarah Connolly, opens the Hall’s new season with regular duo partner Malcolm Martineau, leading listeners through a programme rich in emotional contrasts, poetic reflections and glorious melodies. The recital includes Mahler’s sublime Rückert Lieder, the impassioned lyricism of Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été, the exotic subtle narrative impressions of Debussy’s three Chansons de Bilitis, and a selection of Schumann songs. Mark Padmore’s vocal artistry and ability to extract every drop of emotion from poetic texts have secured his place among today’s finest recitalists. Morgan Szymanski, described by Classical Guitar magazine as ‘a player destined for future glories’ joins him on 12 September. Critical acclaim for Angela Hewitt’s Bach interpretations bears witness to the pianist’s extraordinary ability to connect physically and emotionally as well as intellectually with the dance rhythms and expressive gestures of the composer’s keyboard works. The Bach Odyssey will highlight all of this over the next four years. Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan performs like a force of nature, captivating audiences with her artistry’s presence and expressive vitality. She joins the Calder Quartet, winner of the 2014 Avery Fisher Career Grant, for the world première of The sirens cycle by Peter Eötvös. Beethoven’s piano sonatas occupied forty years of his life. They offer insights into his development as artist and individual, and stand among the greatest of all his works. Igor Levit, now in his late 20s, drew critical superlatives to his debut recording of Beethoven’s late sonatas and has since established his reputation as a visionary interpreter of the composer’s music. -

Cohesion of Composer and Singer: the Female Singers of Poulenc
COHESION OF COMPOSER AND SINGER: THE FEMALE SINGERS OF POULENC 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 Susan Joanne Musselman, B.M., M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Document Committee: J. Robin Rice, Adviser Approved by: Hilary Apfelstadt Wayne Redenbarger ________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in Music Copyright by Susan Joanne Musselman 2007 ABSTRACT Every artist’s works spring from an aspiring catalyst. One’s muses can range from a beloved city to a spectacular piece of music, or even a favorite time of year. Francis Poulenc’s inspiration for song-writing came from the high level of intimacy he had with his close friends. They provided the stimulation and encouragement needed for a lifetime of composition. There is a substantial amount of information about Francis Poulenc’s life and works available. We are fortunate to have access to his own writings, including a diary of his songs, an in-depth interview with a close friend, and a large collection of his correspondence with friends, fellow composers, and his singers. It is through these documents that we not only glean knowledge of this great composer, but also catch a glimpse of the musical accuracy Poulenc so desired in the performance of his songs. A certain amount of scandal surrounded Poulenc during his lifetime and even well after his passing. Many rumors existed involving his homosexuality and his relationships with other male musicians, as well as the possible fathering of a daughter. The primary goal of this document is not to unearth any hidden innuendos regarding his personal life, however, but to humanize the relationships that Poulenc had with so many of his singers. -
Decca Discography
DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>H HOLLAND Decca first recorded the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra during a visit to London in March 1946 (AR10127-33) and the same matrix series was used for the first recordings made in the orchestra’s own hall. From 1947 a distinctive matrix series was used and Decca allotted many of its most important symphonic sessions to the orchestra, either under van Beinum or distinguished guests, until 1953 when it switched to the Philips label. It stayed there under Haitink until 1980, reappearing on Decca with Ashkenazy and recovering its former importance to the label whilst Chailly was in charge (1988-2004). Since then under Jansons the Concertgebouw has followed the LSO in creating its own record label. There were also a few sessions with the radio orchestra in Hilversum in 1970-74. >RVH VENUES Twelve different venues were used, but only one reached double figures, whilst five were only visited once. BEURS VAN BERLAGE, AMSTERDAM (1988) was originally a stock exchange (1903). The 600 seat concert hall, initially known as the WANG ZAAL and chosen for a piano recording in 1991, had been re-named the YAKULT ZAAL by the time of its next chamber ensemble recording in 2004. CONCERTGEBOUW, AMSTERDAM (1888) contains both the 2000 seat GROTEZAAL, where the resident orchestra was recorded from 1946-2004, and the 400 seat KLEINEZAAL, used occasionally from 1983-98. [107+6 entries] HET MUZIEKTHEATER, AMSTERDAM (1986), a 1600 seat house, staged a production by the resident Netherlands Opera that was televised in 1998. WAALSEKERK, AMSTERDAM (1409) is noted for its acoustics and was favoured from 1988-93 for three Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra recordings. -
