  • 4. Melodic Musemes 5 & 6
    Tagg: Fernando the Flute (IV) 123 4. Melodic musemes 5 & 6 m5: legato sincerity Museme 5 comes in two guises. One is m5a, the appoggiatura chains (ex. 65)1 that dominate the vocal line in Fernando’s verses. The other is m5b, the legato string fill that occurs just twice in each refrain (p. 162). m5a: appoggiaturas Structural description Please first note the difference between APPOGGIATURA , a ‘lean- Frn04-MusemAnal2.fm. 2017-11-07, 13:48 2017-11-07, Frn04-MusemAnal2.fm. ing note’ (from Italian appoggiarsi = to lean, ®l), and ACCIACCATURA [], a ‘smudged’ or ‘bruised’ note (schiaccare = to bruise, crush, ¬l ). There are many appoggiaturas in Fernando, no acciaccaturas. Ex. 65. Occurrences of m5a appoggiaturas in Fernando, b.14-15, 27-28, 63-67 and 22-23, 34-37, 73-74: (a) solo vocal; (b) written as euroclassical grace notes; (c) vocals in parallel thirds; (d) flutes in interlude. Each variant of museme 5a in example 65 consists of between two and seven consecutive pairs of legato-slurred neighbouring notes chained together in scalar sequence. Each pair of slurred notes in each sequence constitutes an appoggiatura. Except for example 65d, Fernando’s m5a is an entirely vocal fea- ture, solo in verse 1 (ex. 65a), in parallel thirds in verses 2 and 3 (ex. 65c). Ex- ample 65b sounds exactly the same as 65a: alternative notation is presented merely to show that note 2 in each pair was, in eighteenth-century euroclas- sical circles, heard as tonally more significant (the ‘l’ in ‘®l’), even though it is articulated as a weaker ‘offbeat’ preceded by the appoggiatura’s stronger 1.

  • A&M RECORDS CELEBRATES 50TH ANNIVERSARY It's an Archetypal
    A&M RECORDS CELEBRATES 50TH ANNIVERSARY It’s an archetypal story of the modern record business – two guys with a dream running their nascent label out of a West Hollywood garage in the summer of 1962. The label quickly gains momentum and eventually becomes one of the most important record companies the world has ever seen. The two guys were Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss, the “A” and the “M” in A&M Records. By the way, it was Alpert’s garage and that first hit was “The Lonely Bull,” performed by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. And this year, 2012, the two record men and UMe are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of their label. Perhaps because one of its founders was an artist himself—and a hugely successful one at that—A&M Records distinguished itself as an artist-friendly label, one that would stand behind artists they believed in album after album until they found their voice and an audience. “We never thought of A&M as a place where we could make a lot of money,” says Herb Alpert reflecting on the label’s genesis. “We wanted to make good records. That was our goal. We felt if we made good records there would be an audience.” Herb and Jerry’s dedication to development resulted in some of the biggest superstars in music ever: Joe Cocker, Procol Harum, Quincy Jones, Billy Preston, Cat Stevens, Carpenters, Peter Frampton, Supertramp, Jeffrey Osborne, Styx, Bryan Adams, Joe Jackson, The Police, Sting, Janet Jackson, Suzanne Vega, Sheryl Crow, Soundgarden, and so many more.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

    Presents HERB ALPERT IS… Written and Directed by John Scheinfeld RT: 111 Minutes Publicity Contacts: Falco Ink. | 212-445-7100 Steven Beeman, [email protected] Adrianna Valentin, [email protected] “I think the ups and downs of my life can inspire others.” -Herb Alpert Herb Alpert is a multi-faceted man, a man of many passions. Short Synopsis With his trumpet he turned the Tijuana Brass into gold, earning 15 gold and 14 platinum records; He has won nine Grammys Awards between 1966 and 2014, and received the National Medal of Arts from President Barack Obama in 2012. Herb co-founded the indie label, A & M Records with his business partner, Jerry Moss, which recorded artists as varied as Carole King, Cat Stevens, The Carpenters, Janet Jackson, Peter Frampton, Joe Cocker, Quincy Jones, Sergio Mendes, and The Police. A&M would go on to become one of the most successful independent labels in history. He has shown his striking work as an abstract painter and sculptor, worldwide. And through the Herb Alpert Foundation, he has given significant philanthropic support of educational programs in the arts nationwide, from the Harlem School of the Arts and Los Angeles City College to CalArts and UCLA. John Scheinfeld’s documentary Herb Alpert is… profiles the artist, now 85, mostly from the perspective of colleagues like Questlove, Sting, and Bill Moyers. In their words, the shy, unassuming trumpeter is a musical, artistic and philanthropic heavyweight. Long Synopsis Herb Alpert was a shy third grader when his music appreciation teacher arranged instruments on a table and encouraged her students to experiment.

  • Look at YOU! You Did It!!
    Look at YOU! You did it!! You made an effort. Somehow you found out this concert was happening, presents An Evening With just like all the other folks that found out. They said, “Oh!” Then let it die. But you?! You didn’t stop there. You kept going. You found out where to buy a ticket, when to buy a ticket. And then… You did it! You called World Records or you came to World Re- cords. And you did it! You bought a ticket! You joined a big group made up of people you don’t know, who also bought tickets. You agreed to someone else’s schedule, and you agreed to one day journey to the Bakersfield College Outdoor Theater – a place most people have never been. Then you waited. You kept the evening clear. You told other choices – “No. Sorry. I’m busy that night.” Others wondered why you chose to not do the traditional Bakersfield thing – stay home. But you didn’t buckle. And look at you! You did it! You overcame so much! We’re all so proud of you – you Bakersfield person you. You have made it to the intersection of Art and Community. That intersection is called a Concert. In the concert world, Bakersfield is known as a very risky concert town.YOU are the exception. A very rare exception. Some of you know this.

Neither were neophytes to the music business. Alpert had been playing the trumpet since childhood; co-wrote “Wonderful World,” a 1960 hit for Sam Cooke; and produced recordings for Jan and Dean. Moss, who moved to Los Angeles from New York in 1960, was a music promoter, producer, and public relations representative. From an office in Alpert’s garage and a “stable” of a single artist – Alpert himself – the two built the company into the largest independent recording label in the United States. A&M achieved early success with hits by Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, including “The Lonely Bull,” “A Taste of Honey,” and “What Now My Love,” with revenue topping $50 million by 1968. Only the Beatles and Elvis Presley outsold the Tijuana Brass during the 1960s, when their sales reached some 45 million albums. continued on pg. 2 INSIDE 2 New Development Director 3 Digital Music Archive 5 Donor Profile MUSIC HISTORY AT THE MUSIC LIBRARY: THE A&M RECORDS ARCHIVE The company’s roster of performers expanded dramatically during the late 1960s and early 1970s to encompass the Flying Burrito Brothers, the Carpenters, Cheech and Chong, Joe Cocker, Carole King, Leon Russell, and Cat Stevens.
