Still living in Provo, Utah, I picked up David Ra- kowski from the airport for a visit to BYU. We had met a few years earlier through the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition, when Davy was on the board of advisors and I was an intern. On that drive several years later, I asked him if he had any suggestions for my doc- toral application portfolio, to which he immediately responded, “You were actually a finalist.” Because of his encouragement, I applied to Brandeis a second time, and the rest is history.

STANDING WAVE TIME DISTANCE MEMORY Sunday November 23, 2014 Pyatt Hall Welcome to Time Distance Memory, the Rst Concert of Standing Wave’S Exciting 2014-2015 Season
St and ing W a ve S o c ie ty p r e s e n t s STANDING WAVE TIME DISTANCE MEMORY Sunday November 23, 2014 Pyatt Hall Welcome to Time Distance Memory, the rst concert of Standing Wave’s exciting 2014-2015 season. Tonight we are thrilled to be premiering a much-anticipated piece by our Programme good friend, the marvellously talented Jennifer Butler. With its alternating periods of utter chaos and complete peace, Stolen Materials/Stolen Time invites us into the tenderly solipsistic world of childhood. Thomas Adès’ 1991 work Catch takes us on a similar though notably more neurotic journey. In fact, all the music on tonight’s program ushers us into the deepest regions of the composers’ imaginations. Claude Vivier transports the listener to an imaginary south paci c island in his 1977 work Pulau Dewata, which was inspired by the music of the Indonesian gamelan ensembles he encountered on his travels. Catch The crunching and sighing sonic landscape that is George Thomas Adès (1991) Crumb’s 1965 masterpiece Eleven Echoes of Autumn, evokes a fantastically off-kilter natural world. Jordan Nobles’ Walking clarinet, violin, cello, piano in Claude’s Footsteps, an arrangement of Claude Debussy’s Des pas sur la neige, rounds out tonight’s program.

Sonnings Musikpris 2015 Thomas Adès
Credit: Mamiko Tsusuki September 2015 Sonnings Musikpris 2015 Thomas Adès 1 Månedens tema Årets modtager af Sonnings Musikpris er den engelske komponist, dirigent og pianist Thomas Adès. I den anledning sætter DR Klub Klassisk i september måneds tema fokus på Thomas Adès som komponist med udvalgte værker, der viser forskellige sider af hans vidtspændende produktion. Sonnings Musikpris overrækkes ved en festkoncert i DR Koncerthuset 8. oktober 2015. Koncerten transmitteres direkte på P2 og genudsendes søndag d. 11. oktober kl. 12.15. Desuden vil koncerten blive videostreamet live på dr.dk/p2 og senere sendt i TV på DR K. Links og litteraturhenvisninger Links & litteraturhenvisninger er udvalgt specielt til brug i bibliotekernes lytteklubber. Listen er ikke udtømmende – der findes andet, som man selv kan opsøge, hvis man vil. Da der kun findes sparsom information om Thomas Adès på dansk, er hovedparten af links og litteraturhenvisnin- ger på engelsk. Tekst og Redaktion: Marianne Ljungberg & Lise Anker-Møller 2 Thomas Adès af Jens Cornelius, DR En af verdens fineste priser inden for klassisk musik, Léonie Sonnings Musikpris, tildeles den engelske kom- ponist, dirigent og pianist Thomas Adès. En brillant 44-årig musiker, der kan alt, og som ikke er bange for at vise det. Thomas Adès er født og uddannet i London. Han dukkede op som en sensation i engelsk musikliv i 1990’erne med operaen "Powder her face" og orkesterværket "Asyla". Engelsk musik har altid bakset med et ry for konservatisme, og her kom så en flot ung mand, der frygtløst gennemkværner alle klassiske traditioner, til- sat jazz, pop og world music.

Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic an Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi
Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic An Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi © copyright 2019 by Andrew Fraknoi. All rights reserved. Used with permission. Borresen: At Uranienborg Cage: Atlas Eclipticalis Glass: Orion Connections between astronomy and music have been proposed since the time of the ancient Greeks. This annotated listing of both classical and popular music inspired by astronomy restricts itself to music that has connections to real science -- not just an astronomical term or two in the title or lyrics. For example, we do not list Gustav Holst’s popular symphonic suite The Planets, because it draws its inspiration from the astrological, and not astronomical, characteristics of the worlds in the solar system. Similarly, songs like Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” or the Beatles’ “Across the Universe” just don’t contain enough serious astronomy to make it into our guide. When possible, we give links to a CD and a YouTube recording or explanation for each piece. The music is arranged in categories by astronomical topic, from asteroids to Venus. Additions to this list are most welcome (as long as they follow the above guidelines); please send them to the author at: fraknoi {at} fhda {dot} edu Table of Contents Asteroids Meteors and Meteorites Astronomers Moon Astronomy in General Nebulae Black Holes Physics Related to Astronomy Calendar, Time, Seasons Planets (in General) Comets Pluto Constellations Saturn Cosmology SETI (Search for Intelligent Life Out There) Earth Sky Phenomena Eclipses Space Travel Einstein Star Clusters Exoplanets Stars and Stellar Evolution Galaxies and Quasars Sun History of Astronomy Telescopes and Observatories Jupiter Venus Mars 1 Asteroids Coates, Gloria Among the Asteroids on At Midnight (on Tzadik).

Which other composer can claim to have taken such monumental leaps over a period of just 24 years and nine symphonic works? Between his First Symphony and his Ninth, Beethoven bids farewell to the classical era and ushers in the age of romanticism, he alters the long- held form and harmonic framework of the symphony, and in his Ninth he does the unthinkable – he introduces the voice to an instrumental work.
