  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    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? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

The Chariot Robert Schumann Born June 8 1810, in Zwickau, Germany Died July 29 1856, in Bonn, Germany After Franz Schubert, no composer of the early nineteenth century is more closely associated with the German art song, or lied (lieder, plural) than Robert Schumann. His output is remarkable if only for its sheer size: in 1840 Schumann produced around one hundred and fifty songs alone. His strength in lieder rested in his literary talent as much as it did his extraordinary musical abilities. An avid music critic, Schumann sought an idealized balance between poetry and music. He demanded strong source material and a highly refined musical setting that would elevate the text without appearing too fancy or elaborate, a criticism that he frequently leveled at his predecessor Schubert.

    ROSEMARY RITTER Director THE COMPLETE RECITALIST MAY 25- JUNE 24, 2019 “Bright is the ring of words when the right man rings them.” –Robert Lewis Stevenson SongFest 2019 is lovingly dedicated to Janet Loranger and John Ritter. ©Jeanine Hill Photography “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” –Mary Oliver Welcome to SongFest 2019 “Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, you can. Boldness has a genius, magic and power to it.” – Goethe ©Jeanine Hill Photography Our SONGFEST mission, under the all-encompassing Californian skies, is to bring together the old and new where the study of masterpieces from the past enhances the vitality and relevance of contemporary music. Many of the singers and pianists have come here because they already sense that art song has brought depth and refinement to their lives, both as musicians and human beings. Younger performers at Colburn find themselves crossing a summer threshold that will lead to lifelong fealty. Teachers and students share a devotion to a genre that is too easily labelled “elitist” or simply “boring”. These golden weeks, shining with youthful energy, purpose and enthusiasm, demonstrate that art song is impossible to belittle or dismiss – old hands inspired by fresh and questing talent pass on a tradition rich in the articulation of many of civilisation’s most precious values. If art can make men see things in a different way, one should never underestimate the power of great poetry from many countries in tandem with great music to touch a hitherto unresponsive heart and make a difference.

Held every three years, the competition was established in 1997. In keeping with Mrs. Johansen’s wishes, the competition encourages younger musicians with significant prize awards at a time when they need it most – when they must make decisions about continuing with their dedication to music. Recalling a New York City gold medal she won when she was just 17 years old, Mrs. Johansen credited that experience with helping her decide to make music her life-long effort. By establishing the Johansen International Competition (JIC), she hoped to pass that encouragement on to new generations of string players. Mrs. Johansen expressed these sentiments during an interview about her decision to fund the competition and put it under the guidance of the FMMC Foundation. Funding for the JIC comes from the Trust Fund that she had originally established to pay for the long-term care of their son, Gustave, who was injured as a teenager.
