Courtesy of the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif. Scope and Contents The Judith Rosen Collection consists of music researcher and author Judith Rosen's personal collection of audiocassette recordings, many of which are unpublished. Rosen, who has written a highly-regarded biography of composer Grazyna Bacewicz, as well as articles for High Fidelity/Musical America and the New Grove series, is a current or former board member of The Women's Philharmonic, Women's Philharmonic Advocacy, the Arnold Schoenberg Institute, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and the Ojai Music Festival. While there is a mix of styles in the collection's music performances, the majority is new music and the work of twentieth century composers. Given her association with the Women's Philharmonic, it is no surprise that the collection is also strong on women composers and musicians. Among the live and studio recordings that comprise the majority of the collection, there are radio programs, interviews, and conference presentations. Many appear to be promotional demos and other semi-commercial issues. Original sources are rarely credited, and some tapes may be copies of commercially released material. There are a handful of published cassettes retained in the collection as well. The tapes have been alphabetized, for the most part by composer. Perhaps the most significant recordings here are from the Freeman Musicale series of lecture/performances named for philanthropist Betty Freeman. These salons (also known as the Music Room sessions) took place both in Freeman's home in Beverly Hills and later at the Rosen's in Encino, and featured many of the leading lights in the contemporary composition world, from Elliot Carter, Pierre Boulez and Sylvano Bussotti to Gyorgy Ligeti, Mel Powell, and Roger Reynolds, even jazz musician Anthony Braxton. Other recordings in the collection were commissions by Freeman, such as Kaija Saariaho's opera L'Amour de Loin. The collection also contains lectures from the National Congress on Women in Music, various interviews with the Seeger family (Barbara, Charles, Mike, Peggy) about Ruth Crawford Seeger, and several recordings of Rosen herself in lectures or interviews, as well as her husband Ron Rosen's Sixtieth Birthday Concert featuring premiered works by William Kraft, Leonard Rosenman and Vernon Duke.

  • Spring 2021 Course Descriptions
    PhD/DMA Programs in Music – Spring 2021 Course Descriptions MUS 81502: Performance Practice: Baroque – Professor Gwendolyn Toth This course, intended for performance majors at the doctoral level, is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of what performance practice means and why we study it. Specific course content includes knowledge of the conventions of musical performance during the period 1550-1800, with emphasis on the changes from Renaissance to early baroque, early baroque to high baroque, and high baroque to early classical. Students will also gain acquaintance with the development of musical instruments, music printing, and musician status, as well as changing audiences, during the time frame. First-hand sources of principal pedagogical publications of the period will be used to the extent possible. Students should gain an understanding of performance practice principles (rhetoric, phrasing, ornamentation, improvisation, instrumentation) in different periods from 1550-1800; but equally, will examine applications of performance practice in today’s modern concert world internationally through critical listening. Students should attain sufficient knowledge to run an early music ensemble/collegium or teach a beginning course on historical performance. The format of the course will include introductory lectures, extensive readings, occasional assigned practical written exercises, in-class listening and discussion, area-specific (keyboard, winds, strings, voice) papers comparing recorded modern performances, and a comprehensive final exam. MUS 71500: D.M.A. Topics (Spring) – Professor Anne Stone The second semester DMA Topics course will focus on the various types of scholarly writing encountered by performers in doctoral work and beyond. In addition to reading and analysis/discussion of writing on music from multiple genres by both scholars and performers, weekly writing assignments will include in- class writing, evaluation of classmates’ work, and ongoing work on longer assignments.

In 1973, the project became an organized research unit at the University of California, San Diego and was re-named the Center for Music Experiment (CME). Although autonomous, the Center was monitored by an inter-departmental advisory board with UCSD Music Department faculty. The director was nominated by the board and appointed by the Chancellor for terms up to five years. The Center was designed as a performance, composition, and a technological research space for innovations with digital computer music. The Center also facilitated the Studio for Extended Performance, the Extended Vocal Techniques Ensemble (EVTE), and the KIVA Improvisation Ensemble.

The story is probably apocryphal, but it was said his students at Harvard had offered a prize to anyone finding a wantonly decorative note or gesture in any of Bernard Rands’ music. Small ensembles, single instrumental lines and tones convey implicitly Rands’ own inner, but arching, songfulness. In his recent songs, Rands has probed the essence of letter sounds, silence and stress in a daring voyage toward the center of a new world of dramatic, poetic expression. When he wrote “now again”—fragments from Sappho, sung here by Janice Felty, he was also A conversation between composer David Felder and filmmaker Elliot Caplan about Shamayim. refreshing his long association with the virtuosic instrumentalists of Network for New Music, the Philadelphia ensemble marking its 25th year in this recording. These songs were performed in a 2009 concert for Rands’ 75th birthday — and offer no hope for winning the prize for discovering extraneous notes or gestures. They offer, however, an intimate revelation of the composer’s grasp of color and shade, his joy in the pulsing heart, his thrill at the glimpse of what’s just ahead.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

  • Marie Collier: a Life
    Marie Collier: a life Kim Kemmis A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History The University of Sydney 2018 Figure 1. Publicity photo: the housewife diva, 3 July 1965 (Alamy) i Abstract The Australian soprano Marie Collier (1927-1971) is generally remembered for two things: for her performance of the title role in Puccini’s Tosca, especially when she replaced the controversial singer Maria Callas at late notice in 1965; and her tragic death in a fall from a window at the age of forty-four. The focus on Tosca, and the mythology that has grown around the manner of her death, have obscured Collier’s considerable achievements. She sang traditional repertoire with great success in the major opera houses of Europe, North and South America and Australia, and became celebrated for her pioneering performances of twentieth-century works now regularly performed alongside the traditional canon. Collier’s experiences reveal much about post-World War II Australian identity and cultural values, about the ways in which the making of opera changed throughout the world in the 1950s and 1960s, and how women negotiated their changing status and prospects through that period. She exercised her profession in an era when the opera industry became globalised, creating and controlling an image of herself as the ‘housewife-diva’, maintaining her identity as an Australian artist on the international scene, and developing a successful career at the highest level of her artform while creating a fulfilling home life. This study considers the circumstances and mythology of Marie Collier’s death, but more importantly shows her as a woman of the mid-twentieth century navigating the professional and personal spheres to achieve her vision of a life that included art, work and family.

    the philadelphia music project presents new frontiers in music: Composer Symposium with Bright Sheng & Bernard Rands thursday, may 27 registration deadline: monday, may 24, 2010 The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage This event is free, but registration is required. 1608 Walnut Street, 18th floor To register, please call PMP at 267.350.4960 Philadelphia, PA 19103 or email Elizabeth Sayre at [email protected] moderated by Melissa Smey Executive Director, Miller Theatre 4:15 – 4:30 pm Sign-in 4:30 – 6:30 pm Symposium 6:30 pm Reception More than two centuries of ongoing international and cross-cultural encounters have had a profound influence on the music of the United States. In this PMP Composer Symposium, Bernard Rands and Bright Sheng—both preeminent North American composers, both born overseas—discuss their music and careers. Rands and Sheng will share recordings and insights into their compositional processes and influences, including their studies around the world and here in the States. They will also address the business of composition: commissioning, publishing, recording, and more. Melissa Smey, director of New York City’s groundbreaking contemporary music presenter Miller Theatre, leads the discussion. about the composers: Bright Sheng’s music is noted for its lyrical melodies, propulsive Bartokian rhythms, and dramatic theatricality. Many of the Shanghai-born composer’s works exhibit strong Asian influences, a result of his decades-long study of folk music from China to Tibet. The MacArthur Foundation proclaimed Sheng “an innovative composer who merges diverse musical customs in works that transcend conventional aesthetic boundaries.” He has been the recipient of MacArthur and Guggenheim fellowships and the Naumberg Award.
