    Los Angeles Master Chorale Receives Major Grant from the James Irvine Foundation

    PRESS RELEASE Los Angeles Master Chorale Receives Major Grant from The James Irvine Foundation $450,000 two-year grant will support the Big Sing California project through 2018 Los Angeles, CA (Sep. 1, 2016) - The Los Angeles Master Chorale announced today that The James Irvine Foundation has awarded a $450,000 Exploring Engagement Fund grant to support the Chorale’s launch of Big Sing California that will culminate in June 2018. This two-year grant will support the Chorale’s ongoing efforts to utilize state-of-the-art live- streaming technology to enable thousands of Californians to connect with others throughout the state for a shared singing experience, led by its Swan Family Artist-in- Residence and Grammy award-winning composer/conductor Eric Whitacre. “We are honored and delighted and extremely thankful to The James Irvine Foundation,” said Grant Gershon, Los Angeles Master Chorale’s Artistic Director. “Our goal for the Big Sing California is simply to inspire people to tap into a gift each person is born with, namely, the ability to sing. As one of the nation’s most prominent choruses, the Master Chorale is taking a leadership role in creating the fertile environment in which the love of singing and the choral arts can grow and thrive.” The Los Angeles Master Chorale’s grant was highlighted in yesterday’s announcement by The James Irvine Foundation which approved $7.73 million in grants. These grants reflect the Foundation’s continued commitments to current grantees, as well as new investments related to the foundation’s new focus: increasing economic and political opportunity for California families and young adults who are working but struggling with poverty.

Ryan Endowed Chair in Violin Marie Wang, violin Anthony Devroye, viola Cheng-Hou Lee, cello Saturday, April 17, 2021 7 p.m. Boutell Memorial Concert Hall PROGRAM String Quartet in A minor, No. 2 Florence Price Moderato (1887-1953) Andante cantabile Juba: Allegro Finale: Allegro String Quartet in F Major, Op. 59 No. 1 Ludwig van Beethoven Allegro (1770-1827) Allegretto vivace e sempre scherzando Adagio molto e mesto Thème russe: Allegro PROGRAM NOTES Ludwig van Beethoven: String Quartet in F Major, Op. 59 No. 1 (1806) When Andreas Razumovsky, the Russian ambassador in Vienna, commissioned a set of quartets from Beethoven, the composer threw himself into the project and wrote three in 1806. Exhibiting a breadth and difficulty never before encountered in the medium, the so-called "Razumovsky" Quartets confused both performers and listeners at first but quickly found favor. In these works, Beethoven applied the middle-period style he had initiated in the "Eroica" Symphony of 1803; they also feature "symphonic" passages in which he seems to make the four instruments sound like a string orchestra. Beginning in the cello, the expansive opening theme of the first quartet gently climbs up four octaves. The next theme moves by contrast with leaps and staccato articulations. After a harmonically quirky transition, a graceful secondary melody unfolds, which ends by trading half notes among the voices. The development begins like the exposition (which does not repeat) but suddenly veers off in a new direction; it features a wide variety of textures, including a double fugue.

    RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET SYMPHONIES A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) Born in St. Petersburg. He entered the Petrograd Conservatory at age 13 and studied piano with Leonid Nikolayev and composition with Maximilian Steinberg. His graduation piece, the Symphony No. 1, gave him immediate fame and from there he went on to become the greatest composer during the Soviet Era of Russian history despite serious problems with the political and cultural authorities. He also concertized as a pianist and taught at the Moscow Conservatory. He was a prolific composer whose compositions covered almost all genres from operas, ballets and film scores to works for solo instruments and voice.

FREE ADMISSION Dear friends, Last fall, Third Coast Baroque’s debut series ¡Sarabanda! focused on examining the African and Latin American folk music roots of the sarabande. Today, we will be following the paths of the chaconne, passacaglia and other ostinato rhythms – with origins similar to the sarabande – as they spread across Europe during the 17th century. With this program that we are calling Groove!, we present those intoxicating rhythms in the fashion and flavor of the different countries where they gained popularity. The great European composers wrote masterpieces using the rhythms of these ancient dances to create immortal pieces of art, but their weight and significance is such that we tend to forget where their origins lie. Bach, Couperin, and Purcell – to name only a few – wrote music for highly sophisticated institutions. Still, through these dance rhythms, they were searching for something similar to what the more ancient civilizations had been striving to attain: a connection to the spiritual world.
  • Berlioz's Les Nuits D'été

    Berlioz's Les Nuits D'été

    Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été - A survey of the discography by Ralph Moore The song cycle Les nuits d'été (Summer Nights) Op. 7 consists of settings by Hector Berlioz of six poems written by his friend Théophile Gautier. Strictly speaking, they do not really constitute a cycle, insofar as they are not linked by any narrative but only loosely connected by their disparate treatment of the themes of love and loss. There is, however, a neat symmetry in their arrangement: two cheerful, optimistic songs looking forward to the future, frame four sombre, introspective songs. Completed in 1841, they were originally for a mezzo-soprano or tenor soloist with a piano accompaniment but having orchestrated "Absence" in 1843 for his lover and future wife, Maria Recio, Berlioz then did the same for the other five in 1856, transposing the second and third songs to lower keys. When this version was published, Berlioz specified different voices for the various songs: mezzo-soprano or tenor for "Villanelle", contralto for "Le spectre de la rose", baritone (or, optionally, contralto or mezzo) for "Sur les lagunes", mezzo or tenor for "Absence", tenor for "Au cimetière", and mezzo or tenor for "L'île inconnue". However, after a long period of neglect, in their resurgence in modern times they have generally become the province of a single singer, usually a mezzo-soprano – although both mezzos and sopranos sometimes tinker with the keys to ensure that the tessitura of individual songs sits in the sweet spot of their voices, and transpositions of every song are now available so that it can be sung in any one of three - or, in the case of “Au cimetière”, four - key options; thus, there is no consistency of keys across the board.

Katerina è una ragazza russa della stessa età del compositore, ventiquattro, venticinque anni (la maturazione artistica di Sostakovic fu, com’è noto, precocissima), “dotata, intelligente e superiore alla media, la quale rovina la propria vita a causa dell’opprimente posizione cui la Russia prerivoluzionaria la assoggetta”. E’ un’omicida, anzi un vero e proprio serial killer al femminile; e tuttavia Sostakovic denuncia quanta simpatia provi per lei. Nelle originarie intenzioni dell’autore, “Una Lady Macbeth del distretto di Mcensk” avrebbe inaugurato una trilogia dedicata alla donna russa, còlta nella sua essenza immutabile attraverso differenti epoche storiche.

    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2019 This is the seventeenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2018-November 2019). The 128 selections have come from 27 members of the team and 65 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources; I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, one has received three nominations: An English Coronation on Signum Classics and ten have received two nominations: Gounod’s Faust on Bru Zane Matthias Goerne’s Schumann Lieder on Harmonia Mundi Prokofiev’s Romeo & Juliet choreographed by John Cranko on C Major Marx’s Herbstymphonie on CPO Weinberg symphonies on DG Shostakovich piano works on Hyperion Late Beethoven sonatas on Hyperion Korngold orchestral works on Chandos Coates orchestral works on Chandos Music connected to Leonardo da Vinci on Alpha Hyperion was this year’s leading label with nine nominations, just ahead of C Major with eight. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2300 reviews.
