KENDRICK | LEEDS LEVY | MARY MEGAN PEER | JON PLATT | IRWIN Z. ROBINSON THE FOUNDERS AWARD Roscoe Mitchell is an internationally renowned musician, composer, and innovator. His role in the resurrection of long neglected woodwind instruments of extreme register, his innovation as a solo woodwind performer, and his reassertion of the composer into what has traditionally been an improvisational form have placed him at the forefront of contemporary music for over five decades. Mr. Mitchell is a founding member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians and the Trio Space. Additionally, Mr. Mitchell is the founder of the Creative Arts Collective, The Roscoe Mitchell Sextet, The Roscoe Mitchell Quartet, The Roscoe Mitchell Art Ensemble, The Sound Ensemble, The New Chamber Ensemble and the Note Factory. He has recorded over 100 albums and has written hundreds of compositions. His compositions range from classical to contemporary, from passionate and forceful improvisations to ornate orchestral music. His most recent recording, Discussions, was counted among “The 25 Best Classical Music Recordings of 2017” by the New York Times. Also, for five decades, he has designed the Percussion Cage, an elaborate percussion instrument consisting of instruments from around the world, as well as many found instruments.

    Proposal to Establish a New School: UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music FINAL DRAFT prepared for the faculty vote, beginning at noon on Dec 15 and ending at noon on Dec 17, 2014 PREFACE TO THE FINAL DRAFT AND FACULTY VOTE The FINAL DRAFT of the Proposal to Establish the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music has been prepared for the faculty vote scheduled December 15-17, 2014. From OCT 24 through NOV 24, faculty in the three affected departments (Ethnomusicology, Music, and Musicology) vetted a full DRAFT of the Proposal to establish the music school and consulted with students and staff in their departments. For the FINAL DRAFT, each department submitted a fully vetted copy of its response, written to provide the context and foundation for the faculty’s upcoming vote. As such, each “Official Response from the Department” represents, as much as possible, “a fair report of both support for and opposition to the proposed action” (from UCLA’s Appendix V Guidelines). On December 1, faculty eligible to vote will receive the required two-week email notice with instructions about the online voting process and a link to the FINAL DRAFT. Early on December 15, eligible voters will receive a time-to-vote notice by email with a link to the online ballot; voting will be open for 48 hours, from noon Dec 15 to noon Dec 17. The votes will be tallied electronically and reported by December 19, 2014. Based on the outcome of the faculty’s vote, the Proposal to Establish the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music will be finalized and submitted to UCLA’s Academic Senate for review on January 8, 2015.

As humans, our access to underwater sonic realms is modulated by means fl eshy and technological. Bones, endolymph fl uid, cilia, hydrophones, and sonar equipment are just a few apparatuses that bring watery sounds into human audio worlds. As this list sug- gests, the media through which humans hear sound under water can reach from the scale of the singular biological body up through the socially distributed and techno- logically tuned-in community. For the social scale, which is peopled by submari- ners, physical oceanographers, marine biologists, and others, the underwater world —and the undersea world in particular — often emerge as a “fi eld” (a wildish, distributed space for investigation) and occasionally as a “lab” (a contained place for controlled experiments). In this chapter I investigate the ways the underwater realm manifests as such a scientifi cally, technologically, and epistemologically apprehensible zone.

  • ORIGINALS — a Concert of Music Composed for the City of Fairfax Band
    ORIGINALS — A Concert Of Music Composed for the City Of Fairfax Band By Alan Cole The creation of new music for symphonic band has been a major part of the history of the City of Fairfax Band. The band’s 50th anniversary season opens with a special program dedicated to music written for and premiered by Fairfax Band. Composed by some of America’s most noted composers and representing a wide array of styles, many of these works have found their way into the standard literature and are being performed by concert bands worldwide. A major feature of the October 26 program is the world premiere of the latest work commissioned by the City of Fairfax Band, titled A ​ Southern Jubilee, by legendary Hollywood film composer Bruce Broughton. Other works on the program are David Uber’s Overture for Symphonic Band, Samuel Laudenslager ​ ​ Sr.’s City of Fairfax Band March, Travis Cross’s And the Grass Sings in the Meadows, ​ ​ ​ Mark Camphouse’s Foundation, and Ira Hearshen’s ballroom dance suite, Aragon: ​ ​ ​ 1945-1952. City of Fairfax Band March. Samuel Laudenslager Sr. was a Pennsylvania musician, ​ music educator, arranger, and composer whose enthusiasm for band music, and specially for band marches, found expression in memorable ways. His arrangements of famous Sousa marches adapted for school bands are still in print. His son Sam Laudenslager Jr. for many years was a member of the City of Fairfax Band and leader of the Alte Kamaraden German band. Sam Sr. had special affection for the City of ​ ​ Fairfax Band, to whom he dedicated this eponymous march.

  • Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).
