A Festival of the Arts
WHEATLEY SECONDARY SCHOOL A FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS April 3rd, 5th, 6th, 1962 at 7.30 p.m. prompt Programme This Arts Festival is the “ brain child ” of Mr. J. W. Babb, L.R.A.M., L.T.C.L., Music Master at the School, and it is due to his enthusiasm and inspiration alone, that it has come to pass. It is his “ swan song ” as he leaves us in July to take up a similar, and I am sure, more rewarding post at Wintringham Grammar School, Grimsby. Time after time, we have offered Drama and Music classes in the Further Education Centre here, but continued support by a body of people having the same tastes and abilities has been difficult to maintain, and of late years we have had to acknowledge that the catchment area will not carry such activities on a regular weekly basis. In organising this Festival therefore, we have asked for, and obtained the support of a number of patrons who are happy to attend up to three evenings in the week to' share in the delights of music and drama made by “ live ” musicians and actors, in a hall which has recently been made accoustically far more sympathetic than in the past. The musical programme, is conservative in its choice of composers, but combines well known works with those which are not so familiar to most of us. We welcome both the Capriol Orchestra with Reginald Morley, the well-known violinist, as soloist, and The Trinity College Consort. “ Waiting for Godot ”, one of the most controversial plays of this century, cannot fail to intrigue and entertain, in a manner possibly different from the usual drama. -

DOMENICO SCARLATTI (1685–1757) Sonatas and transcriptions 1 Scarlatti: Sonata K135 in E 4.03 2 Scarlatti/Tausig: Sonata K12 in G minor 4.14 3 Scarlatti: Sonata K247 in C sharp minor 4.39 4 Scarlatti/Friedman: Gigue K523 in G 2.20 5 Scarlatti: Sonata K466 in F minor 7.25 6 Scarlatti/Tausig: Sonata K487 in C 2.41 7 Scarlatti: Sonata K87 in B minor 4.26 8 Gieseking: Chaconne on a theme by Scarlatti (Sonata K32) 6.43 9 Scarlatti: Sonata K96 in D 3.52 10 Scarlatti/Tausig: Pastorale (Sonata K9) in E minor 3.49 11 Scarlatti: Sonata K70 in B flat 1.42 12 Scarlatti/Friedman: Pastorale K446 in D 5.09 13 Scarlatti: Sonata K380 in E 5.57 14 Scarlatti/Tausig: Sonata K519 in F minor 2.54 15 Scarlatti: Sonata K32 in D minor 2.45 Total timing: 62.40 Joseph Moog piano Domenico Scarlatti’s legacy of 555 sonatas for harpsichord represent a vast treasure trove. His works fascinate through their originality, their seemingly endless richness of invention, their daring harmonics and their visionary use of the most remote tonalities. Today Scarlatti has once again established a firm place in the pianistic repertory. But the question preoccupying me was the influence his music had on the composers of the Romantic era. If we cast an eye over the countless recordings of transcriptions and arrangements of his contemporary Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), it becomes even clearer that in Scarlatti’s case, we find hardly anything comparable. A fascinating process of investigation eventually led me to Carl Tausig (1841–1871), Ignaz Friedman (1882–1948) and Walter Gieseking (1895–1956). -

Society of Composers Inc. National Student Conference 2001 Presented by The Indiana School of Music welcomes you to the 2001 Society of Composers Inc. National Student Conference Dear Composers and Friends: I am pleased to attend the Third Annual National Student Conference of the Society of Composers, Inc. This event, ably hosted by Jason Bahr with generous support from Don Freund, will give you that rare opportunity to meet and hear each other's works performed by some of the most talented performers in this country. Take advantage of this timethese are your future colleagues, for you can never predict when you will meet them again. This is the weekend we will choose the three winners of the SCI/ASCAP Student Composition Commission Competition, to be announced at the banquet on Saturday evening. You will hear three new compositions by the winners of the 2000 competition: Lansing D. McLoskey's new choral work on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.; Karim Al-Zand's Wind Ensemble work to be performed Thursday night at 8:00 p.m.; and Ching-chu Hu's chamber ensemble work on the Friday night concert. SCI is grateful to Fran Richard and ASCAP for their support with this ongoing commissioning project. Last month I was asked by the editor of the on-line journal at the American Music Center in New York to discuss the dominant musical style of today and to predict what the dominant musical style might be of tomorrow. If only I could predict future trends! And yet, today's music depends upon whom you ask. -
Passacaglia PRINT
On Shifting Grounds: Meandering, Modulating, and Möbius Passacaglias David Feurzeig Passacaglias challenge a prevailing assumption underlying traditional tonal analysis: that tonal motion proceeds along a unidirectional “arrow of time.” The term “continuous variation,” which describes characteristic passacaglia technique in contrast to sectional “Theme and Variations” movements, suggests as much: the musical impetus continues forward even as the underlying progression circles back to its starting point. A passacaglia describes a kind of loop. 1 But the loop of a traditional passacaglia is a rather flattened one, ovoid rather than circular. For most of the pattern, the tonal motion proceeds in one direction—from tonic to dominant—then quickly drops back to the tonic, like a skier going gradually up and rapidly down a slope. The looping may be smoother in tonic-requiring passacaglia themes (those which end on the dominant) than in tonic- providing themes, as the dominant harmony propels the music across the “seam” between successive statements of the harmonic pattern. But in both types, a clear dominant-tonic cadence tends to work against a sense of seamless circularity. This is not the case for some more recent passacaglias. A modern compositional type, which to my knowledge has not been discussed before as such, is the modulatory passacaglia.2 Modulating passacaglia themes subvert tonal closure via progressions which employ elements of traditional tonality but veer away from the putative tonal center. Passacaglias built on these themes may take on a more truly circular form, with no obvious start or endpoint. This structural ambiguity is foreshadowed in some Baroque ground-bass compositions. -
Three BJ S-Three Chaconnes Byron Cantrell
Three BJ s-Three Chaconnes Byron Cantrell Ever since Hans von Bulow coined the expression "the three B's" in denoting J. S. Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms to the exclusion of other fine composers whose family names begin with that same initial letter, numerous comparisons have been made regarding the composition techniques of these masters. Although distinct forms are associated with the different time periods within which each lived, all three of these men are regarded as superior composers of variations. Each has treated the usual melodico-harmonic forms so idiomatically that commentary is too often limited to banal remarks on similarities or non- comparative discussion of individual works. The continuous variation form, the chaco nne, has, however, been ingeniously used by these three masters, and, because most of the aspects of the form are demonstrably retained by each of them, comparisons can effectively be made. Emerging in the late Renaissance, the chaconne gained enormous popu- larity during the Baroque era; indeed, no opera in the Italian style was considered complete during this age without one or more numbers in chaconne form. But with the Classical period came a strong preference for melodico-harmonic variations and opera buffa finales, and the ostinato variation idea seemed destined for oblivion. It was Johannes Brahms, late in the Romantic period, who handsomely revived the chaconne and thus paved the way for its popularity among later composers. In his book, The Technique of Variation, Dr. Robert U. Nelson devotes considerable space to a discussion of Baroque chaco nne practice in the instrumental field. In order to consider the three pieces selected for study here, a list of fourteen points has been extracted from Dr. -
