The third Image, Rondes de Printemps, is again an entirely different work. At Rome Debussy attempted two choral settings of texts according to the expectations of his benefactors, but neither Zuleima which became his first Envoi nor Diane aux Bois satisfied the self-searching composer. He did Your Year-Round Vacationland Your Permanent Home For gracious living, for unexcelled business opportunities, there's no place like the Berkshire Hills! A renowned resort area, the Berk- shires offer a skilled labor sup- ply, easy access to major markets and strategic materials, top-notch educational facilities and good transportation.

Botticelli's Primavera. which may well have excited his imagination in Florence, was his admitted inspiration for Printemps. In this he committed himself to no text whatever, but only wordless syllables. His increasing tendency to use voices as an element of color, blending in the orchestral palette, was frowned upon. The use of the "unorchestral" key of F-sharp major in Printemps brought lugu- brious head-shakings from the judges, who consisted of the following musicians, worlds removed from the ways of "impressionism": Thomas, Gounod, Delibes, Reyer, Massenet, Saint-Saens. The official report of the Secretary of the Academie des Beaux-Arts said this about Printemps: "His feeling for musical color is so strong that he is apt to forget the importance of accuracy of line and form. He should beware of this vague impressionism which is one of the most dangerous enemies of artistic truth. The first movement of M. Debussy's symphonic work is a kind of prelude an adagio. Its dreamy atmosphere and its studied effects result in confusion. The second movement is a bizarre, incoherent transformation of the first, but the rhythmical combinations make it somewhat clearer and more compre- hensive. The Academy awaits and expects something better from such a gifted musician as M. Debussy." v These 9€W pianists Evelyn Crochet Leon Fleisher featured this season at Claude Frank the Berkshire Festiyai Gary Graffman play only Eugene Istomin r Byron Janis THE STMWAY Rudolf Serkin Vronsky and Babin r IN MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW STEINWAY PIANOS ARE SOLD ONLY BY M.

BOSTON • WORCESTER, SPRINGFIELD Printemps lay quite unnoticed until the Revue Musicale published it as a supplement in 1904 in a version for six voice parts with accompaniment of piano duet. Durand published it in the same year, and in 1913 brought out the definitive version, without chorus. The parts for two pianists were pre- served and the orchestration restored. Debussy called upon Henri Biisser who had orchestrated his Petite Suite in 1907. SYMPHONY NO. 6 Walter Piston Born in Rockland, Maine, January 20, 1894 Walter Piston's Sixth Symphony was commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Koussevitzky Music Foundation for this Orchestra's seventy-fifth anniversary season and is dedicated to the memory of Serge and Natalie Koussevitzky. In answer to a request for information about his new Symphony, the composer sent the following interesting communication: "It is known that no two orchestras sound alike, and that the same orchestra sounds differently under different conductors. The composer of orchestral music must be aware of this, and his mental image of the sound of his written notes has to admit a certain flexibility. This image is in a sense a composite resulting from all his experience in hearing orchestral sound, **** AVAVOO* ***• A COUNTRY INN LENOX, MASSACHUSETTS Just across the Road-AVALOCH offers two fine restaurants of different and exciting character .

"While writing my Sixth Symphony, I came to realize that this was a rather special situation in that I was writing for one designated orchestra, one that I had grown up with, and that I knew intimately. Each note set down sounded in the mind with extraordinary clarity, as though played immediately by those who were to perform the work. On several occasions it seemed as though the melodies were being written by the instruments themselves as I followed along. I refrained from playing even a single note of this symphony on the piano. "Little need be said in advance about the symphony. Indeed, I could wish that my music be first heard without the distraction of preliminary explanation. The headings listed in the program are indicative of the general character of each movement. The first movement is flowing and expressive, in sonata form; the second a scherzo, light and fast; the third a serene adagio, theme one played by solo cello, theme two by the flute; and the fourth an energetic finale with two contrasting themes. The symphony was composed with no intent other than to make music to be played and listened to. "I take this occasion to express my immense indebtedness to the mem- bers of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and to the conductors Serge Kousse- vitzky, Richard Burgin, and Charles Munch, for the many superb perform- ances of my music."

April 3, When Brihms composed his Fourth Symphony and submitted it tor performance in the Principality of Meimngen on October 25, 1885, he had an established reputation, but his symphonies were not yet widely and clearly understood. A proof of this is the report of Max Kalbeck. Brahms' eventual biographer but then his young adherent, of a pre-concert reading of the score in a two-piano version at which Kalbeck was present. The custom was established before each of the symphony premieres of a gathering of friends at the piano warerooms of Fnedrich Ehrbar. This was a highly expert representation. There was Eduard Hanslick.

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.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.

  • Symmetry and Narrative in Christopher Rouse's Trombone Concerto with White Space Waiting

Burkhardt Reiter iii SYMMETRY AND NARRATIVE IN CHRISTOPHER ROUSE’S TROMBONE CONCERTO WITH WHITE SPACE WAITING (AN ORIGINAL COMPOSITION FOR CHAMBER ORCHESTRA) R. Burkhardt Reiter, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 The analytic component of my dissertation, “Symmetry and Narrative in Christopher Rouse’s Trombone Concerto,” illuminates the ways in which the concerto creates a musical metaphor of tragedy. To help frame my discussion of the Trombone Concerto’s narrative elements (which include Rouse’s self-referential quotation to his own Symphony No.1 and a quotation of Leonard Bernstein’s “Kaddish” Symphony No.3) I draw on Northrop Frye’s classification of tragedy as a narrative archetype. In order to illuminate the narrative functions of the two quotations and other motivic elements, I examine (with voice-leading and structural analysis) how the work’s prevailing formal and harmonic symmetry provides the narrative context for its musical expectations. The tragedy of the concerto is realized when the harmonic expectation created by the Bernstein quotation is disrupted by the return of the composition’s opening harmony and motivic gesture.

  • Giorgio De Santillana, Hertha Von Dechend
    Preface page v AS THE SENIOR, if least deserving, of the authors, I shall open the narrative. Over many years I have searched for the point where myth and science join. It was clear to me for a long time that the origins of science had their deep roots in a particular myth, that of invariance. The Greeks, as early as the 7th century B.C., spoke of the quest of their first sages as the Problem of the One and the Many, sometimes describing the wild fecundity of nature as the way in which the Many could be deduced from the One, sometimes seeing the Many as unsubstantial variations being played on the One. The oracular sayings of Heraclitus the Obscure do nothing but illustrate with shimmering paradoxes the illusory quality of "things" in flux as they were wrung from the central intuition of unity. Before him Anaximander had announced, also oracularly, that the cause of things being born and perishing is their mutual injustice to each other in the order of time, "as is meet," he said, for they are bound to atone forever for their mutual injustice. This was enough to make of Anaximander the acknowledged father of physical science, for the accent is on the real "Many." But it was true science after a fashion. Soon after, Pythagoras taught, no less oracularly, that "things are numbers." Thus mathematics was born. The problem of the origin of mathematics has remained with us to this day. In his high old age, Bertrand Russell has been driven to avow: "I have wished to know how the stars shine.

  • (O20) LISTENING LOG: M – R JOHN Mccabe Clarinet Concerto I Don't
    20 B♭ (O ) LISTENING LOG: M – R JOHN McCABE Clarinet Concerto I don’t recall hearing McCabe’s music, though his name is familiar. Four short movements, pandiatonic, very abstract, soloist intertwining with motifs in the orchestra, lots of timp – recalls beginning of Le Sacre. Andante very slow, suspended. Moderato slightly faster, brings in muted strings. Vivo not overly fast, more fluttering around. (F17) Joybox A 7’ entertainment depicting the bleeps and whistles of a slot machine, or so it says. Novelty: avant garde Brit lite. I thought we’d get three cherries, but alas, it just peters out. Missed possibilities. (N17) HAMISH MacCUNN The Land of the Mountain and the Flood I heard this on CBC and was impressed enough to remember the name. The Scottish flavor is not pronounced, but few enough pieces have any at all. A lovely melodious concert opener. (N10) Yes, I do recall the opening theme, vaguely folkish but not obvious, very homophonic. Warlike bit with cymbals unconvincing, doesn’t last. Build-up towards the end has a whiff of Wagner. Nice. (Ja16) Jeanie Deans [excerpts] MacCunn’s 1894 opera based on The Heart of Midlothian was a hit and has been revived, but only as an historical curiosity. It has palpable Scotticism, uses folk material, vaguely recalls Balfe, Flotow in its old-fashionedness, but there is awareness of Wagner, some chromaticism, reliance on arioso, avoidance of four-square phrasing, no straining after big high notes. More sophisticated than first appears. (N10) The Lay of the Last Minstrel: Final Chorus Pre-Elgarian patriotism – only so so.
