Following tour appearances with the Pops during the next few weeks, Mr. Williams's first public appearance in Boston in his new capacity will be on 20 April for the BSO/WCRB Marathon. He will open the annual Pops season in Boston on Tuesday, 29 April, and he will conduct the majority of Pops perfor- mances both at Symphony Hall and on the Esplanade throughout May, June, and July. By special resolution of the orchestra's trustees, Harry Ellis Dickson, for twenty-six years Assistant Conductor of the Pops and a frequent figure on the Pops podium since the decline in health and death of Mr. Fiedler, has been named Associate Conductor of the Boston Pops. Mr. Dickson will continue peri- odically to conduct the Pops. John Williams Harry Ellis Dickson TFC on Record In the spring of 1977, John Oliver and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus were invited by Deutsche Grammophon to record a program of unaccompanied "American Choral Music of the Twentieth Century." Featuring music of Elliott Carter, Charles Ives, Jacob Druckman, and Aaron Copland, the disc was released last spring and has been critically acclaimed. "In programming, in execution, and in terms of recorded sound, this is a simply stunning album," is how the December 1979 issue of Stereo Review put it, commenting further on the "awesome dramatic impact . rhythmic vitality . [and] highly expres- sionistic" quality of the various selections. BSO Guests on WGBH-FM Robert J. Lurtsema, host of WGBH-FM-89.7's Morning Pro Musica, continues his series of live interviews with BSO guest artists on Saturday, 23 February at 11 when he speaks with Dwight Peltzer, soloist for the Boston premiere of Donald Martino's Piano Concerto, and with conductor Sergiu Comissiona on Monday, 25 February at 11. In the meantime, however, WGBH is repeating last season's series of Lurtsema-hosted interviews, The Orchestra, on Thursday evenings at 8. Principal cellist Jules Eskin is featured on 17 January, principal bass Edwin Barker on the 24th, former Director of Publications Michael Steinberg on the 31st, and, together on 7 February, principal flute Doriot Anthony Dwyer and piccoloist Lois Schaefer. Art Exhibitions in the Cabot-Cahners Room The Boston Symphony Orchestra continues its samplings of Boston-based art with exhibitions in the Cabot-Cahners Room representing various art organiza- tions: 27 December - 21 January Polaroid 21 January - 18 February Art Institute of Boston 19 February - 17 March Childs Gallery 17 March- 14 April Alpha Gallery 14 April - 21 April BSO/WCRB Musical Marathon 21 April - 19 May Harcus-Krakow Corrigendum Michael Steinberg's program note for Kazuyoshi Akiyama's December 1977 per- formances of the Rachmaninoff Second Symphony stated that those perfor- mances would be uncut. Two weeks later, however, a correction in the program noted that Mr. Akiyama decided during rehearsals to make a cut in the finale. So, contrary to the program note for David Zinman's performances last week, the uncut Rachmaninoff Second Symphony has still not been heard in Symphony Hall since Karl Muck conducted it in December 1917. Seiji Ozawa In the fall of 1973, Seiji Ozawa became the thirteenth Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra since the Orchestra's founding in 1881. Born in Shenyang, China in 1935 to Japanese parents, Mr. Ozawa studied both Western and Oriental music as a child and later graduated from Tokyo's Toho School of Music with first prizes in composition and conducting. In the fall of 1959 he won first prize at the Inter- national Competition of Orchestra Con- ductors, Besancon, France. Charles Munch, then Music Director of the Boston Symphony and a judge at the competition, invited him to Tanglewood for trie summer following, and he there won the Berkshire Music Center's high- est honor, the Koussevitzky Prize for outstanding student conductor. While working with Herbert von Karajan in West Berlin, Mr. Ozawa came to the attention of Leonard Bernstein, whom he accompanied on the New York Philhar- monic's spring 1961 Japan tour, and he was made an Assistant Conductor of that orchestra for the 1961-62 season. His first professional concert appearance in North America came in January 1962 with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. He was Music Director of the Chicago Symphony's Ravinia Festival for rive summers begin- ning in 1964, and Music Director for four seasons of the Toronto Symphony Orches- tra, a post he relinquished at the end of the 1968-69 season in favor or guest conduct- ing numerous American and European orchestras. Seiji Ozawa first conducted the Boston Symphony in Symphony Hall in January of 1968; he had previously appeared with the Orchestra at Tanglewood, where he was made an Artistic Director in 1970. In December of that year he began his inaugural season as Conductor and Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. The Music Directorship of the Boston Symphony followed in 1973, and Mr. Ozawa resigned his San Francisco position in the spring of 1976, serving as Music Advisor there for the 1976-77 season. As Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Ozawa has strength- ened the Orchestra's reputation internationally as well as at home. In February/ March of 1976 he conducted concerts on the Orchestra's European tour, and in March 1978 he took the Orchestra to Japan for thirteen concerts in nine cities. At the invitation of the People's Republic of China, he then spent a week working with the Peking Central Philharmonic Orchestra.

This book tells the stories of the many composers who visited – a varied and often eccentric collection of individuals. lisztThe earliest were invited by royalty with musical tastes; some were refugees from religious TO and political oppressions; others came as spies, a few to escape from debt and even murder chopincharges. However, the main motive was a possibility of financial reward. BRITAIN The rise in the nineteenth century of the celebrity composer, who was often also a conductor, is also traced. With the development of new forms of transport, composers TO DAVID GORDON • PETER GORDON were able to travel more extensively, both from the Continent and from the USA. New BRITAIN wagneropportunities were also presented by the opening of public halls, where concerts could be held, as well as the growth of music festivals. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries the aeroplane has enabled a regular influx of composers, and the book ends with a liszt consideration of the universalising of music as well as the impact of new forms, such as mozartjazz. chopin Musical Visitors to Britain is a fascinating book which should appeal to both the general handelreader and those with a special interest in music history.

  • Bach Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 (Novello Edition Ed
    PROGRAMME NOTES AND PREFACES Bach Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 (Novello edition ed. N. Jenkins) HISTORY AND ORIGINS OF THE WORK Although Bach's Christmas Oratorio (1734) has been as popular a work for choirs and choral societies to perform as his two Passions, it has striven against Handel's Messiah as the obvious work to choose for a Christmas performance. Its daunting length when performed uncut, and the need for a work with a less demanding orchestration (such as that found in Messiah) has probably meant that it has been chosen less often than it should have been. This may go some way to explain why there has been no new English edition since the original Novello Octavo edition, containing John Troutbeck's translation, of 1874. My researches in the British Library have turned up no other published translation apart from an incomplete version by Helen Johnston - also published in the year 1874. Helen Johnston (1813-87) was the first person to translate any of the major Bach choral works into English, producing her translation of the St Matthew Passion for Sir William Sterndale Bennett's 1862 edition. She does not appear to have turned her attention to the St John Passion, which was receiving frequent performances in England during the 1870s under the direction of Sir Joseph Barnby, since he used a translation made by a Minor Canon of Westminster Abbey - the Rev. John Troutbeck (1832-99). Troutbeck was an indefatigable translator, not only of all Bach's major choral works, but also of Oratorios by Beethoven, Brahms, Dvorak, Gounod, Liszt, Saint-Saens, Schumann and Weber.

  • “What Language Shall I Borrow?” Singing in Translation
    “WHAT LANGUAGE SHALL I BORROW?” SINGING IN TRANSLATION Daniel A. Mahraun Daniel A. Mahraun Choir Director Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi [email protected] 8 CHORAL JOURNAL Volume 56 Number 10 e have all likely done it at one time or another: we have conducted Wor sung works in translation. Our reasons probably varied. Perhaps we saw no point in teaching the original language to that particular choir. Perhaps we made the choice for the sake of a particular audience. Perhaps our decision was based solely on expediency. Regardless, any conscious or unconscious reason we had likely fl ew in the face of what many of us have heard or been taught: that the performance of vocal music in translation is a form of blasphemy. The late Roger Doyle made a case for singing in translation in his 1980 Choral Journal article, “What? Sing It in English? What Will the Neighbors Think?” In it, he bases his thoughts on the principal question of how to involve, to the fullest extent, the musicians and the listeners in a performance. Doyle lists what he saw as the four usual arguments against singing in translation then proceeds to reason them away. Those arguments are: 1) The nuance of the composer’s language is integral to the fl ow of the music. 2) Translations are provided in the printed programs. 3) The audience can’t understand the English either. 4) Good English versions are very scarce.1 “WHAT LANGUAGE SHALL I BORROW?” Though not advocating the use of English at all times 1) Singing in our native language saves rehearsal time.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

  • Sullivan-Journal Nr. 13 (Juli 2015)
    Sullivan-Journal Nr. 13 (Juli 2015) Diese Ausgabe des Sullivan-Journals steckt voller Entdeckungen. Wir konnten endlich Sul- livans Leipziger Tagebuch auswerten und unser Mitglied Paul Seeley fand einen überraschen- den Hinweis auf eine Originalkomposition für Flöte. Jetzt muss dieses Stück, das bisher in kei- nem Werkverzeichnis aufgetaucht ist, nur noch gefunden werden! Der zweite Teil von Till Gerrit Waidelichs Beitrag über Sullivan und Schubert nimmt Bezug auf Sullivans Beteiligung an der Wiederentdeckung der Musik Schuberts zu Rosamunde (der erste Teil findet sich im Sullivan-Journal Nr. 11). Darüber hinaus lohnt es sich, einen Blick zu werfen auf Sullivans Beziehung zu Beethoven. Geschichte – auch die Musikgeschichtsschreibung – ist eine zeitgebundene Konstruktion, keine abstrakte Wissenschaft (siehe hierzu auch den Beitrag zur Rezeptionsentwicklung in dem 2011 erschienenen Sullivan-Band der von Ulrich Tadday herausgegebenen Reihe „Musik- Konzepte“). Wie einige Stellungnahmen von deutschen Autoren über das England des 19. Jahr- hunderts zeigen, ist sie bestimmt von Erfahrungen, Vorurteilen und Neigungen. Die vielen neu- en Blickwinkel auf Arthur Sullivans Leben und Wirken, die wir in den vergangenen sechs Jah- ren im Sullivan-Journal und in der Buchreihe SullivanPerspektiven vorgestellt haben, lassen heutzutage nur den Rückschluss zu, dass es falsch ist, in Sullivan lediglich den Schöpfer des Mikado und der Piraten von Penzance zu sehen – wir befassen uns hier mit einem der vielsei- tigsten und bemerkenswertesten Musiker und Komponisten des 19. Jahrhunderts, bei dem es noch viel Neues zu entdecken gibt. Dies hatte man bereits vor über140 Jahren erkannt – in ei- nem Bericht über Sullivans Te deum laudamus hieß es am 1. Juni 1872 in der Musical Times (S.
