  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

  • Société De Musique La Chaux-De-Fonds
    SOCIÉTÉ DE MUSIQUE LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS du 3 octobre au 9 mai Dossier de presse www.musiquecdf.ch Créer lʼévénement : un défi permanent Replacer la ville parmi les centres musicaux de première importance en Suisse et en Europe, voilà la tâche à laquelle nous nous attelons, avec succès, depuis trois ans. La Société de Musique de La Chaux-de-Fonds est entrée dans sa 121ème année ! Malgré cet héritage impressionnant, chaque saison représente un nouveau défi ! Nous avons le sentiment de lʼavoir à nouveau relevé en ce qui concerne la cuvée 2013-2014. Deux de nos meilleurs atouts : lʼexcellente acoustique de la Salle de musique de La Chaux-de-Fonds et des invités sélectionnés avec une grande exigence : une exigence remarquée et appréciée, qui a convaincu Espace 2 dʼenregistrer, lors de la prochaine saison, sept concerts sur les onze que compte la GRANDE SERIE. Une exigence à ne pas confondre avec « élitisme ». Dʼune part, nous mettons sur pied chaque saison la SERIE PARALLELES, héritage des anciennes Heures de Musique : lʼoccasion dʼinviter, dans de plus petites salles, de jeunes interprètes prometteurs, des musiciens de notre région, ou encore de proposer une programmation différente. Dʼautre part, la Société de Musique de La Chaux-de-Fonds souhaite faire cohabiter une qualité sans compromis avec des prix accessibles (en comparaison de la plupart des séries de concerts de ce niveau en Suisse). Ainsi, un membre de la Société de Musique peut assister à nʼimporte lequel de nos concerts à partir de 25.-, un non membre à partir de 30.- et les étudiants et moins de 16 ans pour le prix de 10.-.

    A PEDAGOGICAL ANALYSIS OF DVOŘÁK’S POETIC TONE PICTURES, OP. 85 by Nathan MacAvoy Bachelor of Music Education Bob Jones University, 2014 Master of Piano Performance University of South Carolina, 2016 Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Pedagogy School of Music University of South Carolina 2020 Accepted by: Sara Ernst, Major Professor Scott Price, Committee Member Charles Fugo, Committee Member Daniel Jenkins, Committee Member Cheryl L. Addy, Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School © Copyright by Nathan MacAvoy, 2020 All Rights Reserved. ii DEDICATION This treatise is dedicated to my wife Martha. She consistently challenges me to do my best, innovate, and plan. Her support throughout my graduate degrees has been invaluable. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the members of my committee for their investment in my education as a scholar, teacher, and musician. Dr. Jenkins’ classes challenged me not only to excel in music theory but also to use that knowledge for the benefit of others. Dr. Price served as my degree advisor and helped me improve my writing for many proposals. Weekly lessons with Dr. Fugo are already missed, but how I listen to, practice, and perform music has been transformed. I did not enjoy research until Dr. Ernst’s advanced research class. It prepared me to both finish and enjoy writing this treatise. I could not have begun this program without my previous instructors and mentors. Dr. Moore and Dr. Boerckel taught me throughout high school and my undergraduate degree. Their consistent investment prompted me to continue with a musical career.

  • Leonard Bernstein
    chamber music with a modernist edge. His Piano Sonata (1938) reflected his Leonard Bernstein ties to Copland, with links also to the music of Hindemith and Stravinsky, and his Sonata for Clarinet and Piano (1942) was similarly grounded in a neoclassical aesthetic. The composer Paul Bowles praised the clarinet sonata as having a "tender, sharp, singing quality," as being "alive, tough, integrated." It was a prescient assessment, which ultimately applied to Bernstein’s music in all genres. Bernstein’s professional breakthrough came with exceptional force and visibility, establishing him as a stunning new talent. In 1943, at age twenty-five, he made his debut with the New York Philharmonic, replacing Bruno Walter at the last minute and inspiring a front-page story in the New York Times. In rapid succession, Bernstein Leonard Bernstein photo © Susech Batah, Berlin (DG) produced a major series of compositions, some drawing on his own Jewish heritage, as in his Symphony No. 1, "Jeremiah," which had its first Leonard Bernstein—celebrated as one of the most influential musicians of the performance with the composer conducting the Pittsburgh Symphony in 20th century—ushered in an era of major cultural and technological transition. January 1944. "Lamentation," its final movement, features a mezzo-soprano He led the way in advocating an open attitude about what constituted "good" delivering Hebrew texts from the Book of Lamentations. In April of that year, music, actively bridging the gap between classical music, Broadway musicals, Bernstein’s Fancy Free was unveiled by Ballet Theatre, with choreography by jazz, and rock, and he seized new media for its potential to reach diverse the young Jerome Robbins.

  • The Routledge Companion to Actor-Network Theory
    The Routledge Companion to Actor-Network Theory This companion explores ANT as an intellectual practice, tracking its movements and engagements with a wide range of other academic and activist projects. Showcasing the work of a diverse set of ‘second generation’ ANT scholars from around the world, it highlights the exciting depth and breadth of contemporary ANT and its future possibilities. The companion has 38 chapters, each answering a key question about ANT and its capacities. Early chapters explore ANT as an intellectual practice and highlight ANT’s dialogues with other fields and key theorists. Others open critical, provocative discussions of its limitations. Later sections explore how ANT has been developed in a range of so cial scientific fields and how it has been used to explore a wide range of scales and sites. Chapters in the final section discuss ANT’s involvement in ‘real world’ endeavours such as disability and environmental activism, and even running a Chilean hospital. Each chapter contains an overview of relevant work and introduces original examples and ideas from the authors’ recent research. The chapters orient readers in rich, complex fields and can be read in any order or combination. Throughout the volume, authors mobilise ANT to explore and account for a range of exciting case studies: from wheelchair activism to parliamentary decision-making; from racial profiling to energy consumption monitoring; from queer sex to Korean cities. A comprehensive introduction by the editors explores the significance of ANT more broadly and provides an overview of the volume. The Routledge Companion to Actor-Network Theory will be an inspiring and lively companion to aca- demics and advanced undergraduates and postgraduates from across many disciplines across the social sciences, including Sociology, Geography, Politics and Urban Studies, Environmental Studies and STS, and anyone wishing to engage with ANT, to understand what it has already been used to do and to imagine what it might do in the future.
