    Works by John Cage, Lou Harrison, Christopher Rouse, Eugene Kurtz, Irwin Bazelon, J.Verplanck New World 80382-2 by Eric Salzman Rhythm is the starting point. Along with the sound of the human voice, the music of rhythm is as old as music itself. The sound of a woodpecker is a drum tattoo.The great apes drum, as well as vocalize. The human infant is cradled by the mother's heartbeat even before birth. Drums and percussion have always been an essential part of music and life throughout the world, except in Western art music of the past few centuries. Only in recent years has the percussion ensemble taken its rightful place along with the more familiar string, wind, and brass ensembles in Western music. The new percussion music has roots in three fairly distinct places: non-Western music, mostly Asian; jazz and related Afro-Latin forms; and the experimental music movements, both pre- and post- World War II. All of these influences are represented on this album. In the 1930s and again in the 1970s, the American avant-garde turned its attention from pure experimentation to more accessible forms of music-making and, at the same time, opened itself to non-Western—especially Eastern—influence. Led by the Californian Henry Cowell and his West Coast disciples John Cage and Lou Harrison, this underground, orientalizing avantgarde of the Thirties and Forties has long-term links with the minimalists and post-modernists of more recent vintage. John Cage was born in Los Angeles in 1912 and studied with Cowell, Arnold Schoenberg, and Adolph Weiss; Edgard Varèse was also a major influence, particularly in the area of percussion music.

Te growth of his improvisational skills led to an interest in composition. He attended the New England Conservatory of Music, where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in composition and now serves as chair of the composition department. He was also once a Fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center, and now heads the composition faculty. Gandofi is a member of the Atlanta School of Composers, which evolved as a project of Robert Spano (conductor of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra) to nurture, commission, and record contemporary music. Select composers include Jennifer Higdon, Christopher Teofanidis, Osvaldo Golijov, and Adam Schoenberg. An example of Gandolf’s contribution is Garden of Cosmic Speculation (2007). It was commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Tanglewood, recorded by Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and nominated for a Grammy. Gandolf’s broad range of musical interests embraces not only contemporary classical music but also popular genres. Tis in addition to his cultural curiosity has resulted in many intersections between his music and other disciplines including science, flm, and theater.

  • By Joseph Schwantner: an Exploration of Trajectory As an Organizing Principle for Drama, Motive, and Structure
    New Morning For The World ("Daybreak Of Freedom") By Joseph Schwantner: An Exploration Of Trajectory As An Organizing Principle For Drama, Motive, And Structure By Mark Feezell, Ph.D. ([email protected], www.drfeezell.com) Copyright © 2002 by Mark Feezell. All Rights Reserved. Used on this site by permission of the author. This essay explores techniques found in Joseph Schwantner's 1982 composition New Morning for the World ("Daybreak of Freedom"). Schwantner's piece, in which a speaker performs the part of Martin Luther King, Jr. using texts from his speeches and writings, establishes dramatic, motivic, and structural trajectories1 through the interactions of the speaker and the orchestra. Each of the three trajectories, dramatic/narrative, motivic, and structural, exert their influence continuously throughout Schwantner's piece. Simultaneously, each trajectory supports and influences the others. Joseph Schwantner (born 1943) is an American composer2 who earned composition degrees from the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago (BM, 1964) and Northwestern University (MM 1966, DM 1968). Elements that pervade his mature works include "a fascination with timbre, extreme instrumental range, juxtaposed instrumental groupings, pedal points, and a 1 A trajectory is the directed evolution of a set of related musical parameters. 2 For background and analysis on other Schwantner works, see, for example, Cynthia Folio's article "The synthesis of traditional and contemporary elements in Joseph Schwantner's 'Sparrows,'" Perspectives of New Music,

  • (For Violin and Piano) Karen Phillips, Viola; Glenn Jacobson, Piano
    IRWIN BAZELON DUO (for violin and piano) Karen Phillips, viola; Glenn Jacobson, piano IRWIN (Buddy) BAZELON (b. Chicago, 1922) graduated from DePaul University and later studied with Darius Milhaud and Ernest Bloch. He went on to become one of the few “serious” composers of our time to make his living entirely from his work as a composer. This he accomplished by composing soundtracks for documentary and industrial films and television drama. He is also devoted to horse racing as a source of income as well as pleasure, and wrote his CHURCHILL DOWNS CONCERTO to celebrate his interest; it is recorded on CRI SD 287. His PROPULSIONS for percussion and his BRASS QUINTET are on CRI SD 327. Bazelon is also a competent conductor; his first major appearance was with the National Symphony Orchestra, leading his Short Symphony; the Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville, Seattle and Kansas City orchestras have played his music. He writes: “My DUO for Viola and Piano (composed in 1963, revised 1969-70) is in one continuous movement. Neither instrument is a protagonist, but both exist in opposition to each other, having their own material and rhythmic pulse. There is a constant inner struggle between the soloists; a dialogue both contrasting, complementary and antagonistic. Directions for instrumental superiority usually take the form of stress markings and dynamics. False downbeats (Fsz) within the bar give rhythmic prominence. “The viola — an instrument that 'sings' like a string and 'stings' like a brass — vacillates back and forth between lyrical phrases and passages of driving rhythmic energy. As in all of my music, certain twelve-tone techniques are utilized along with jazz elements.
