Anoka, MN, 1989) Lightenings was initially inspired by Seamus Heaney’s set of twelve poems of the same name. Part of a larger collection entitled “Squarings,” the poems that make up “Lightenings” are meditations on the relationship between ordinary, everyday life and transcendence. In 2003, a limited edition of “Squarings” was published alongside 48 six-inch, square, line drawings by American artist Sol LeWitt. Heaney described these drawings as having “confident pounce and delicate shimmer.” The formal simplicity but visual complexity of these images beautifully illuminates an understanding of each poem individually as well as its relationship to the set as a whole. Just as LeWitt commented upon Heaney’s poetry through his drawings, this piece is a musical response to both bodies of work. A set of nine variations, Lightenings is based on the ancient Christian hymn Phos Hilaron, which gives thanks for light and is meant to accompany the illumination of lamps at sundown. As Heaney says in the twelfth poem: “And lightening? One meaning of that Beyond the usual sense of alleviation, Illumination, and so on, is this: A phenomenal instant when the spirit flares With pure exhilaration before death - The good thief in us harking to the promise! … Thou shalt be with me in Paradise.” 5 Lightenings was commissioned by the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and was premiered on July 28, 2016 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. —Elizabeth Ogonek Willow Run (2016) by Stephen Hartke (b. Orange, NJ, 1952) Willow Run is the name of both a small stream near Detroit, Michigan, and the site of a World War II bomber factory designed by the great industrial architect, Albert Kahn. On the eve of its demolition in late 2013, his granddaughter, the photographer Ernestine Ruben, visited the building not only to document it in hundreds of pictures, but also to take the raw material of these images and transform them into a narrative of birth, death, and rebirth. With the help of saxophonist Noah Getz, she then sought me out to compose a large chamber ensemble piece that would reflect in its own way on this sequence of images, both realistic and recomposed through layering. Ultimately this score will serve as the musical accompaniment to a film to be realized by both Ernestine and videographer Seth Bernstein. My piece seeks at its outset to evoke the vastness of the structure itself, which, in its time was the largest single space enclosed under a single roof. Then there are more topical references—the Morse Code rhythm for the words “Willow Run” appear, as well as Ernestine’s name and mine. In a later section, three arrays of unpitched percussion suggest the echoes of the factory’s assembly line as the saxophone progresses through the musical landscape. The ending evokes the resonances of this enormous space with bright flourishes from the winds and a pair of vibraphones over slowly oscillating mechanical figures in the basses. —Stephen Hartke 6 ...as others see us... (1990) by James MacMillan (b. Kilwinning, Scotland, 1959) ...as others see us..., by the pre-eminent Scottish composer James MacMillan, was first performed at London’s National Portrait Gallery on May 4, 1990. The Scottish Chamber Orchestra was conducted by the composer, who offered the following comments on his work: Robert Burns craved the gift “to see ourselves as others see us” and it can indeed be an illuminating, if even devastating experience to see or hear how one is perceived by others. This must especially be the case when one’s characteristics are captured on canvas, in print, or in music. In composing these ‘sound paintings’ of prominent figures whose portraits hang in the National Portrait Gallery I was attempting an objective character analysis of each one, from my own particular perspective. In order to maintain this distance throughout, I use an old Scottish dance tune which is transformed from one piece to the next to capture the character and the historical context of each portrait. 1. Henry VIII (1491–1547) Over a driving riff the Scottish tune is blared out in parallel harmonic layering in a raw parody of a Tudor dance. The music is butch, macho, and has an almost bullying manner. Gradually other elements intrude to convey the brutality and egotistical madness of this misogynistic tyrant. For example, Henry’s famous composition Greensleeves which, over the next few centuries, was performed at public executions in England and in Europe—an apt use of a tune whose composer callously sent wives, friends, and countless subjects to their deaths. 7 2. John Wilmot (1647–1680) In this portrait the outrageous court poet bestows his laurels on a monkey who is busily destroying the poet’s verses. The opening slow, sustained, dignified string music represents ‘The Muse’; the darting, scurrying material on wind and percussion represents the cheek of the monkey. Gradually the two musics influence each other, and after passing through the rhythms of the French overture (popular in the court at this time), the Poet becomes Monkey and Monkey becomes Poet. 3. John Churchill (1650–1722) The central figure here is the conquering martial hero whose physical strength and power are conveyed on trumpet and percussion. Subservient to him is Hercules portrayed by clarinet and bassoon. Swirling floating figures above are represented by big repetitive material on flute, violin, and viola, and the disheveled figure of Discord being trampled into the ground is given appropriate music on cello and double bass. 4. George Byron (1788–1824) and William Wordsworth (1770–1850) The dashing, romantic figure of Byron (an Anglophile Scot) is represented by energetic material which at time gives some inkling of 19th-century romantic musical heroes—Wagner’s Lohengrin and Strauss’s Don Juan. Wordsworth is more brooding and reflective in character and if there is any allusion to 19th-century music then it is to the poignant slow movement of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony.

  • Solo List and Reccomended List for 02-03-04 Ver 3
    Please read this before using this recommended guide! The following pages are being uploaded to the OSSAA webpage STRICTLY AS A GUIDE TO SOLO AND ENSEMBLE LITERATURE. In 1999 there was a desire to have a required list of solo and ensemble literature, similar to the PML that large groups are required to perform. Many hours were spent creating the following document to provide “graded lists” of literature for every instrument and voice part. The theory was a student who made a superior rating on a solo would be required to move up the list the next year, to a more challenging solo. After 2 years of debating the issue, the music advisory committee voted NOT to continue with the solo/ensemble required list because there was simply too much music written to confine a person to perform from such a limited list. In 2001 the music advisor committee voted NOT to proceed with the required list, but rather use it as “Recommended Literature” for each instrument or voice part. Any reference to “required lists” or “no exceptions” in this document need to be ignored, as it has not been updated since 2001. If you have any questions as to the rules and regulations governing solo and ensemble events, please refer back to the OSSAA Rules and Regulation Manual for the current year, or contact the music administrator at the OSSAA. 105 SOLO ENSEMBLE REGULATIONS 1. Pianos - It is recommended that you use digital pianos when accoustic pianos are not available or if it is most cost effective to use a digital piano.

  • Download My Biography
    In February 2011 Giovanni gave birth to the opera Prelody, an unusual musical journey that brings the composer closer to a modern and original meeting point between savant language and soundtrack-style in which melodies and harmonies pass through a current and vigorous Mediterra- nean atmosphere. March 2016 was the turn of Oktòw, “a constantly evolving opera”, which contains rhapsodies for piano solo and electronic ambient, inspired by the difficulties of contemporary society. Giovanni Pizzitola Biography In 2017, a commission of experts chose Introspezione for the “Bozar Next Generation” event - among the most relevant international events dedica- ted to contemporary classical composers – included in the “International Rostrum of Composers” project, that took place at the Centre for Fine Arts (Bozar), Brussels. Giovanni Pizzitola is an Italian composer and pianist: he was born in Alcamo on the 19th of November , 1975. This musical composition is inspired by The Cretto di Burri (crack of Burri), Thanks to his father Isidoro, he approached what it would have become a wonderful landscape artwork undertaken by the Artist Alberto Burri in the passion of his life: music. 1984, based on the old Italian city of Gibellina. The composition was inclu- ded in the schedule of the Massimo Theatre (Palermo) for the New Music He began his musical studies at the age of 11, and in 2018 he obtained a 2017 event and performed in the ONU Hall on 25th October.

  • Contextualizing My Self-Idiom
    CONTEXTUALIZING MY SELF-IDIOM: THE MAKING OF TERMINAL by AARON MICHAEL LEVY TIMOTHY FEENEY, COMMITTEE CHAIR CHARLES SNEAD AMIR ZAHERI DON FADER JACOB ADAMS ANDREW RAFFO DEWAR A RECORDING AND MANUSCRIPT Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the School of Music in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2019 Copyright Aaron Michael Levy 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This document serves as an accompanying manuscript to my improvisational percussion album, Terminal. This music comes after five years of study and performance, and is a recent demonstration of my current sound; three pieces that draw on the influences of stylistic pioneers. Improviser and scholar Mike Bullock labels this method using the term self-idiomatic music. In this concept, a musician develops a unique aesthetic by making decisions in the moment of performance, drawing on a personal vocabulary of sounds, and rules for their deployment. The music recorded on Terminal is based on a culmination of my musical life that blends elements of many genres and styles. I have been inspired by the noise of Jason Lescalleet, the deep listening and stillness of Pauline Oliveros and Morton Feldman, the harmonic clouds of Sarah Hennies, the textures and layers of AMM, the jazz-like improvisation of Anthony Braxton, and the sound installations of Olivia Block, among others. In this paper, I examine writings and compositions by these musicians, and describe how my interactions and experiences with them led me to discover my self-idiom. ii DEDICATION This work is dedicated to Casey, who has been an ongoing voice of encouragement and love during this process.

  • Marco Betta - Nota Biografica
    Marco Betta - Nota biografica Marco Betta è nato a Enna nel 1964. Studia chitarra classica al Conservatorio di Palermo con Giuseppe Violante e Musica Corale e Direzione di Coro con Padre Gaspare Lo Nigro. Grazie ad Eliodoro Sollima intraprende gli studi di composizione, e, sotto la sua guida, si diploma al Conservatorio di Palermo. Successivamente frequenta i corsi di perfezionamento tenuti a Firenze da Armando Gentilucci ed a Città Di Castello da Salvatore Sciarrino. Dal 1994 fino al 2002 ha ricoperto l’incarico di Direttore Artistico del Teatro Massimo di Palermo che riapre il 12 maggio 1997 dopo 23 anni di chiusura. Insegna Composizione al Conservatorio di Palermo e Teoria della colonna sonora alla Luiss Creative Business Center a Roma. Come compositore esordisce nel 1982 al Festival Spazio Musica di Cagliari. L'idea di una musica condizionata dalle antiche culture letterarie e architettoniche della Sicilia e del Mediterraneo è il punto di partenza delle successive composizioni. Nascono così una serie di lavori per strumento solo, per ensemble da camera come In ombra d’amore ballata per viola (1988) e Maiores umbræ per 5 strumenti (1989) con le quali inizia la sua collaborazione con la casa editrice Ricordi. Da questo momento la sua musica viene trasmessa ed eseguita in molti paesi d’ Europa, negli Stati Uniti, Canada, ex Unione Sovietica, Argentina e Brasile. In Italia riceve inviti e commissioni da enti e festival come il Teatro Alla Scala, il Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, l’Accademia Chigiana di Siena, l’Arena di Verona, l’Orchestra Sinfonica della RAI di Roma, L’Orchestra Regionale Toscana… Nel 1993 su invito di Marco Tutino partecipa alla composizione del “Requiem per le vittime della mafia “ con Lux aeterna su testo di Vincenzo Consolo.
