Theme and Variations II. Andante Liberamente III. Allegro Spumante program notes Proclamation | Ernest Bloch Ernest Bloch (born July 24, 1880 in Geneva, Switzerland; died July 15, 1959 in Portland, OR) was a naturalized (1924) American composer, conductor and teacher. His education spanned from Geneva to Brussels, Frankfurt, Munich, and Paris. He moved to the United States in 1916. Bloch was a founding director of the Cleveland Institute of Music (1920-1925) before he moved to become the director of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (1925- 1930). He continued to travel in Europe until World War II opened up negative political sentiments. Bloch was openly Jewish— his publishing trademark was the Star of David with his initials. After Europe essentially closed its doors to him, he settled at the University of California, Berkeley (1940-1952), and earned numerous awards including the Gold Medal in Music from the National Association for American Composers and Conductors. Proclamation (1955) is dedicated to Bloch’s friend Samuel Laderman, who was also Jewish and connected in part to the Chicago Bloch festival in 1950. Bloch was well loved in the North American Jewish community: he was the composer most esteemed by Albert Einstein and received the Frank L.

  • “Latinizing” Your School Jazz Ensemble
    “LATINIZING” YOUR SCHOOL JAZZ ENSEMBLE: PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS FOR ACHIEVING AN AUTHENTIC LATIN SOUND Michele Fernandez Denlinger Clinician Also featuring : The Coral Reef High School Jazz Rhythm Section Carlos Hurtado, Bass; Javon Flax, Piano; Michael Barroso, Timbales David Espinosa, Congas; Jason Walker, Drum Set Mr. Erich Rivero, Director Jan 12, 2007 FMEA Annual All-State Conference Tampa, FL Playing and teaching the various forms of Latin music should not be viewed as an enigmatic challenge, although this undertaking is often described as such by music instructors everywhere. It is actually quite simple if one has access to the right concepts and patterns. During my years as a high school director I had the opportunity (and necessity) to observe and develop rehearsal techniques that allowed the jazz ensemble at Miami High to achieve the authentic sound that my students so much enjoyed sharing through many venues. However, it was only after my later experiences as a clinician, conference speaker and adjudicator that I actually made an attempt to collate and organize the principles and techniques I (sometimes unconsciously) applied with my students throughout my time as a director. This handout contains some basic principles and rehearsal suggestions that I hope will help any director/student unfamiliar with some of the major styles in this genre (and perhaps those a bit more familiar as well) to begin to teach and explore this infectious brand of music with more vigor and authenticity. Most of all: Have a great time; “Latin” music is truly a blast to play and teach! Michele *Questions/assistance regarding any material in this presentation will be promptly (and gladly) answered.

Disparate films from a variety of genres use different forms of popular music in different ways, however these negotiations with pop music and its cultural surroundings have one true implication: that the 'inde- pendentness' (or 'indieness') of these movies is informed, anchored and embellished by their relationships with their soundtracks and/or the representations of or posi- tioning within wider popular music subcultures.
