  • Wallingford Riegger
    WALLINGFORD RIEGGER: Romanza — Music for Orchestra Alfredo Antonini conducting the Orchestra of the “Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia-Roma” Dance Rhythms Alfredo Antonini conducting the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra THIS RELEASE is but further evidence of the growing and gratifying tendency of recent years to recognize Wallingford Riegger as one of the leading and most influential figures in twentieth century American composition, in fact as the dean of American composers. Herbert Elwell, music critic of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, said it in April, 1956: “I am coming more and more to the conclusion that it is Riegger who has been the real leader and pathfinder in contemporary American music . not only a master of his craft but in some ways a prophet and a seer.” In the same month, in Musical America, Robert Sabin wrote: “I firmly believe that his work will outlast that of many an American composer who has enjoyed far greater momentary fame.” Riegger was born in Albany, Georgia, on April 29, 1885. Both his parents were amateur musicians and were determined to encourage their children in musical study. When the family moved to New York in 1900, the young Wallingford was enrolled at the Institute of Musical Art where he studied the cello and composition. Graduating from there in 1907 Riegger then went to Germany to study at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin with Max Bruch. In 1915-1916 he conducted opera in Würzburg and Königsberg and the following season he led the Blüthner Orchestra in Berlin. Since his return to the United States in 1917, he has been active in many phases of our musical life.

Abstract This monograph examines the post-exile, multi-version works of Sergei Rachmaninoff with a view to unravelling the sophisticated web of meanings and values attached to them. Compositional revision is an important and complex aspect of creating musical meaning. Considering revision offers an important perspective on the construction and circulation of meanings and discourses attending Rachmaninoff’s music. While Rachmaninoff achieved international recognition during the 1890s as a distinctively Russian musician, I argue that Rachmaninoff’s return to certain compositions through revision played a crucial role in the creation of a narrative and set of tropes representing “Russian diaspora” following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

Welcome to the concluding performance of the fourth Lougheed-Kofoed Festival of the Arts, whose scope embracing all the arts, in a continuation of our campus’ historic Spring Festival of the Arts, is generously supported by the visionary gifts of Kathy Kofoed Lougheed ’54 and her husband Don Lougheed (Hon.) ’54. The featured choral-orchestral work on this evening’s program, Johannes Brahms’ beloved German Requiem, had been among those performed most frequently in the Spring Festival, having been featured on nine separate occasions, and having been conducted by some of the iconic figures in the Festival’s history. Helen Hosmer herself conducted it just two years after the beginning of this venerable series, in 1934; and in 1939 her friend and colleague Nadia Boulanger conducted the work.

  • 1926, Vol. 12 Just As Mark Twain Had Been the First Writer to Create an Indigenous American Style In
    A Year in Classical Music: 1926, vol. 12 Just as Mark Twain had been the first writer to create an indigenous American style in literature — the first American author who wasn’t just a transplanted European — Charles Ives was the first composer to create an indigenous American style in classical music. His music is experimental and aggressively Modernist, so it’s not as immediately agreeable as Duke Ellington or Aaron Copland, but it evokes the American experience with an eloquence and candor that few other classical composers have matched, and none have exceeded. Ives’ most productive years had been from 1902 (just after he completed his Second Symphony) until 1916 or ’17 (when he completed his Fourth Symphony). After that, with the exception of a number of songs, the Orchestral Set no. 3, and the Three Quarter-Tone Pieces for Two Pianos of 1924, he abandoned any further efforts to conceptualize and begin new works. Into the ’20s Ives spent his composing time revising and improving upon scores he’d begun years earlier. Then, towards the end of 1926, Ives came downstairs from his study with tears in his eyes and told his wife he was no longer able to compose music. “Nothing went well” anymore, he told her. “Nothing sounded right.” The last composition Ives finished was his 1926 song Sunrise, for voice, violin, and piano. Sunrise is a great example of the composer’s late “sublime style”: ethereal, reflective, tranquil. The poem is by Ives himself, set to music that includes light writing for the piano and a violin part that spends much of its time providing an ostinato for the voice.

After attending the Eastman School of Music where he majored in composition under Bernard Rogers and Howard Hanson, he went on to the Juilliard Graduate School, studying composition there with Frederick Jacobi and conducting with Albert Stoessel and Edgar Schenkman. He obtained his Juilliard degree in 1946. Prior to his induction into the Army in 1942, he worked with Aaron Copland at the Berkshire Music Center. Graduating from the Army Music School at Fort Meyer, Virginia, Ward became Warrant Officer and leader of the 7th Infantry Division, with which he spent several years in the Pacific Theater. While stationed at Fort Riley, he wrote music for an all-soldier show, The Life of Riley, and during the campaigns on Leyte and Okinawa he composed his first symphonic work to gain a wide hearing, the Jubilation Overture (recorded on CRI 159). Since World War II, Mr. Ward has taught at various academic institutions including Columbia University and The Juilliard School of Music, where he was also assistant to the president from 1954 to 1956. From 1952 to 1955 he served as music director of the Third Street Music School Settlement. He is presently executive vice-president and managing editor of the Galaxy Music Corporation and Highgate Press and has been chairman of the Board of Governors and a past president of the American Composers Alliance.

  • Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works Part 4: Russian School by Stephen Barber Borodin Left His Opera Prince Igor
    Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works Part 4: Russian School by Stephen Barber Borodin left his opera Prince Igor unfinished and it was completed from sketches and memory by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov. A scene by scene account of their contributions is available here. (Rimsky-Korsakov’s role in making performing editions of the work of his compatriots cannot be overestimated, though he freely recomposed and rearranged in a way even the boldest of modern scholars would hesitate to do.) This is the standard version, with recordings by Oskar Danon (Eloquence) and Mark Ermler (Melodiya) among others. Some other recordings omit the third act, which is mostly by Glazunov. Valery Gergiev recorded a new reconstruction (Philips). This is based on a fresh examination of all the sources; it takes into account an unpublished vocal score by Pavel Lamm, which reverses the order of the first two acts and has some other changes, and it also has additional material by Yuri Faliek. Another new edition, by Dmitri Tcherniakov and the conductor Gianandrea Noseda, was mounted and recorded by the Metropolitan opera (DG DVD). Borodin also did not complete his third symphony, or rather, he did not write it all down. Two movements were reconstructed by Glazunov, partly from memory. There are numerous recordings, including Loris Tjeknavorian (RCA) and Neeme Järvi (DG). Mussorgsky worked on many operatic projects but completed few of them. He left two versions of Boris Godunov: the 1869 original and his revision of 1872, with extra scenes but also cuts. In practice, most productions are conflated, drawing on both versions, making cuts, moving scenes and otherwise reorganizing the work.

Grove Music Online Rachmaninoff, Serge article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/50146 Rachmaninoff [Rakhmaninov, Rachmaninov], Serge [Sergey] (Vasil′yevich) (b Oneg, 20 March/1 April 1873; d Beverly Hills, CA, 28 March 1943). Russian composer, pianist and conductor. He was one of the finest pianists of his day and, as a composer, the last great representative of Russian late Romanticism. The influences of Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and other Russian composers soon gave way to a thoroughly personal idiom, with a pronounced lyrical quality, expressive breadth, structural ingenuity and a palette of rich, distinctive orchestral colours. 1. 1873–92. There remains some debate about the exact place of Rachmaninoff’s birth. A case has been made for Semyonovo (Bryantseva, 1969), but Rachmaninoff himself always thought he was born at Oneg in the Novgorod region, and other evidence indicates that that was probably the case. According to the Old Style calendar, he was born on 20 March 1873, yielding 1 April as the New Style date; but after emigrating from Russia in 1917, Rachmaninoff habitually celebrated his birthday using the 20th-century conversion principle of adding 13 days to the Old Style date. The plaque on his tomb thus bears the birthdate 2 April 1873. Rachmaninoff’s improvident father squandered the family fortune, and the family was rapidly reduced from having several homes to occupying the one estate at Oneg.
