Drowning love’s lonely hour in deep twilight of rest, And hiding their tossing manes and their tumultuous feet. The nineteenth Autumn has come upon me Since I first made my count; I saw, before I had well finished, When You Are Old All suddenly mount (The Rose, 1893) And scatter wheeling in great broken rings Upon their clamorous wings. When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, I have looked upon those brilliant creatures, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look And now my heart is sore. Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; All’s changed since I, hearing at twilight, How many loved your moments of glad grace, The first time on this shore, And loved your beauty with love false or true, The bell-beat of their wings above my head, But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you, Trod with a lighter tread. And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Unwearied still, lover by lover, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled They paddle in the cold, And paced upon the mountains overhead Companionable streams or climb the air; And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. Their hearts have not grown old; Passion or conquest, wander where they will, Attend upon them still. But now they drift on the still water Mysterious, beautiful; Among what rushes will they build, By what lake’s edge or pool Delight men’s eyes, when I awake some day To find they have flown away? 6 CAL PERFORMANCES CAL PERFORMANCES 7 ORCHESTRA ROSTER CHORUS ROSTER RUSSIAN NATIONAL ORCHESTRA VOLTI Mikhail Pletnev, Music Director & Principal Conductor Robert Geary, Artistic Director Violin I Cello Horn Soprano Tenor Alexei Bruni, Concertmaster Alexander Gottgelf, Principal Igor Makarov, Principal Jennifer Ashworth Ben Barr Tatiana Porshneva, Olesya Gavrikova Alexey Serov, Assistant Principal Kristen Brown Jesse Buddington Assistant Concertmaster Svetlana Vladimirova Victor Bushuyev Katherine Gerber Michael Eisenberg Yana Gerasimova Kirill Varyash Vladimir Slabchuk Barbara Heroux Paul Ingraham Natalia Anurova Maxim Tarnorutsky Denis Volodichev Amy McKenzie Carl L.

  • Public Radio Classical Audience January 2017
    Public Radio Classical Audience January 2017 Background & Executive Summary § On behalf of the Classical Music Rising project Scott Williams approached NPR to assess what NPR Audience Insights has learned from classical music stations in PPM markets that might apply to all markets. § Using a Mon-Sun 6a-7p schedule, we identified 26 stations whose schedules consist at least 90% of classical music programming in PPM markets and 113 stations in diary metro markets. § Classical music stations in PPM markets… § comprise a larger percentage of listening § Have seen significant growth in listening since 2012; the growth spans from 6a to midnight § These stations have experienced double digit percentage growth in cume and AQH since Spring 2012 across each major daypart (morning, midday, afternoon and evenings) § In terms of percent growth, the largest increases occurred in the MF 3p-7p daypart: (cume 16% and AQH 35%) § Diary market stations … § Have not seen dramatic listening growth. We see a slight bump between 2p and 7p § Have experienced a similar growth in cume listeners, but AQH growth is considerably more modest, and has been flat in the morning daypart and nearly flat in the midday. § Time spent listening in PPM markets has grown over the past year, while it has declined in diary markets. That said, TSL is greater in diary markets, as one might expect using a diary methodology. § Percent of audience that is P1 has remained fairly consistent in PPM and diary markets § Listening to classical music stations in PPM and diary markets is growing in the 65+ demo. § I would be hesitant to draw any listening conclusions in diary markets, given the vastly different AQH measures.

    Abstract Title of Dissertation : Dance Based Music on Piano You Sang Kim, Doctor of Musical Art, 2015 Dissertation dirented by: Professor Larissa Dedova School of Music, Piano Division According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition of dance is “to move your body in a way that goes with the rhythm and style of music that is being played.” 1 As you can see in that definition, these two important ways of expressing human feelings, music and dance, are very closely related. Countless pieces of music have been composed for dance, and are still being composed. It is impossible and useless to count how many kinds of dances exist in the world. Different kinds of dances have been developed according to their purposes, cultures, 1 Merriam-Webster Dictionary. “Dance.” http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dance rhythm and tempo. For this reason, the field of dance-related music necessarily expanded significantly. A great deal of dance music has been written for orchestras, small ensembles, or vocals. Along with them, keyboard music also has a huge repertoire of dance pieces. For example, one of the most famous form in Baroque period was suites. Suites usually include 5 or more dance movements in the same key, such as Minuet, Allemende, Courant, Sarabande, Gigue, Bourree, Gavotte, Passepied, and so on. Nationalistic dances like waltz, polonaise, mazurka, and tarantella, were wonderful sources for composers like Chopin, Brahms, and Tchaikovsky. Dance-based movements were used for Mozart and Beethoven’s piano sonatas, chamber works and concertos. Composers have routinely traveled around the world to collect folk and dance tunes from places they visit.

  • Riga Jurmala Music Festival Announces Doc- Umentary Honouring the Great Latvian Con- Ductor Mariss Jansons
    RIGA JURMALA MUSIC FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES DOC- UMENTARY HONOURING THE GREAT LATVIAN CON- DUCTOR MARISS JANSONS March 11, 2021 ‘Mariss Jansons: A Tale of Four Orchestras’, a film by Peter Maniura, tells the Latvian maestro’s story through the eyes of the four leading orchestras which he led. The Riga Jurmala Music Festival today announced the commissioning of a documentary dedi- cated to honouring legendary Latvian conductor Mariss Jansons (1943-2019), due for broad- cast in early 2022. ‘Mariss Jansons: A Tale of Four Orchestras’ will be directed and conceived by Peter Maniura, an award-winning television producer and director with more than twenty- five years’ experience in music and arts broadcasting at the BBC, the European Broadcasting Union and independently. For the first time, Jansons’ story will be told through the eyes of the musicians from the four ensembles for which Jansons was either Music Director or Chief Conductor: the Oslo Philhar- monic Orchestra, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Concertgebouworkest and the Ba- varian Radio Symphony Orchestra. Paying tribute to the legacy of a conductor that marked each of them, the orchestras will contribute specially filmed performances. In addition to archival material featuring performances by and interviews with Jansons, new interviews with the orchestra musicians and others will provide insight into why Jansons was so profoundly appreciated both on and off the conducting podium. Latvian Television and the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) have already provided support by filming and ac- cess to their rich archives; the list of partners will expand during production. Peter Maniura, Director of ‘Mariss Jansons: A Tale of Four Orchestras’, said: “Mariss Jansons was a great conductor and this new film will reveal fresh insights into the music-making and the man by delving into his relationships with the four great orchestras that were most important in his life, in four very different cities: Oslo, Pittsburgh, Amsterdam and Munich.
