Segmentcatalogue Harp.Pdf Classic Poise – Music for Harp Dating back to antiquity, the harp has for centuries been a staple source of music for many cultures. Today, the modern concert harp continues to enjoy a colourful role in the performance of classical music of all styles, with its versatility allowing it to shine either as a recitalist, an accompanist, an orchestra member, or a concerto soloist. You will find something for all preferences in this Naxos catalogue, both in arrangements and original works. There are collections specifically reflecting the music of different countries; others that showcase a variety of works with a span of styles, from the Baroque to 20th- century sounds; there's also a selection of discs featuring music by living composers; plus a wealth of chamber music waiting to be explored. From Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp, to the romantic tones of Carl Reinecke's Harp Concerto and the edgier sounds of Witold Lutosławski's 1980 Double Concerto for Oboe and Harp, we have a long and impressive collection of solo artists all lined up for your entertainment. 2 CLASSIC POISE – MUSIC FOR HARP LISTING BY COMPOSER 8.559258 ADAMO, Mark (b. 1962) LATE VICTORIANS 4 Angels: III.

  • For All the Attention Paid to the Striking Passage of Thirty-Four
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Humanities Commons for Jane, on our thirty-fourth Accents of Remorse The good has never been perfect. There is always some flaw in it, some defect. First Sightings For all the attention paid to the “interview” scene in Benjamin Britten’s opera Billy Budd, its musical depths have proved remarkably resistant to analysis and have remained unplumbed. This striking passage of thirty-four whole-note chords has probably attracted more comment than any other in the opera since Andrew Porter first spotted shortly after the 1951 premiere that all the chords harmonize members of the F major triad, leading to much discussion over whether or not the passage is “in F major.” 1 Beyond Porter’s perception, the structure was far from obvious, perhaps in some way unprecedented, and has remained mysterious. Indeed, it is the undisputed gnomic power of its strangeness that attracted (and still attracts) most comment. Arnold Whittall has shown that no functional harmonic or contrapuntal explanation of the passage is satisfactory, and proceeded from there to make the interesting assertion that that was the point: The “creative indecision”2 that characterizes the music of the opera was meant to confront the listener with the same sort of difficulty as the layers of irony in Herman Melville’s “inside narrative,” on which the opera is based. To quote a single sentence of the original story that itself contains several layers of ironic ambiguity, a sentence thought by some—I believe mistakenly—to say that Vere felt no remorse: 1.

    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way?

But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one?
