  • 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.

  • October 2013 List Blu-Ray New Releases
    tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 OCTOBER 2013 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer Boxsets feature heavily in our list this month, primarily due to a big promotion that we now have running until Christmas (pp.12-19), but we would also like to point out couple of exciting new boxes that might be of interest. The Decca Sound is a brilliant 50 album overview of analogue recordings that Decca produced in the pre-digital era. The beginnings of high fidelity, their ‘Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound’ became a worldwide hallmark of sonic excellence, bringing in a golden age of classical recorded music. Included in the box are celebrated recordings from the likes of Solti, Haitink, Kertesz and Dorati - recordings and performances that certainly still stand the test of time today. See p.2 for details. The Bach Cantata Pilgrimage is a series that has been closely followed by many collectors over the past few years, especially since the Monteverdi Choir’s move from DG to the wonderful presentation of the SDG label. For those who have eagerly picked up every volume, the complete collection in a single box may be superfluous, but for anyone who has simply dabbled, or maybe not even tried, it is a real treat. Coming in at £149.95, it is also a great saving on the c.£500 value of the individual items (especially bearing in mind that several volumes have now been deleted). See p.3 for details. As we are rapidly running out of space, we will just mention a few other items quickly.

Allegro con brio II. Adagio III. Allegretto grazioso IV. Allegro, ma non troppo program notes Notes on the Program by Ken Meltzer Don Juan, Tone Poem after Nikolaus Lenau, opus 20 (1888-1889) ichard Strauss was born in Munich, Germany, on June 11, 1864, and died in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, on September 8, 1949. The Rfirst performance of Don Juan took place in Weimar, Germany, on November 11, 1889, with the composer conducting the Court Orchestra in the Grand Ducal Theater of Weimar. Don Juan is scored for piccolo, three flutes, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, orchestra bells, triangle, cymbals, suspended cymbals, harp, and strings. The legend of Don Juan seems to have originated in the 16th century. The tale of the libertine nobleman who is damned for his numerous seductions and unwillingness to repent has found expression in numerous works. The Austrian poet and philosopher Nikolaus Lenau (1802-50) offered his own, slightly different perspective in his 1844 poem Don Juan: My Don Juan is no hot-blooded man eternally pursuing women.

  • Uloga Glazbe U Filmu "The Piano" Redateljice Jane Campion
    ČLANCI ANA POPOVIĆ uloga glaZBe u filMu THE PIANO reDATELJICe jane CaMpion Izvorni znanstveni članak / Original Scholarly Paper UDK: 78:778.534. 791.43 naCRTAK U radu se analizira glazba koju je za film The Piano napisao Michael Nyman. Osim tehničke glazbene analize filma, glazba je proučavana s gledišta njezine funkcije u komunikaciji kad je riječ o osnovnim porukama filma: kao kritika patrijarhalnog sistema i kao kritika kolonijalnog sistema. Posebno je proučavana simbolička uloga klavira, kao katalizatora i pokretača fabule filma. Ključne riječi: filmska glazba, glazba kao komunikacija, klavir, emancipacija žena, kolonijalizam UVOD Pri pokušajima istraživanja filmske glazbe često dolazi do metodoloških nedoumica: je li moguće filmsku glazbu analizirati jednako kao i svu ostalu glazbu ili je potrebno posegnuti za nekim filmološkim analitičkim alatima i prilagoditi ih glazbi. Tom problematikom godinama se bavi Irena Paulus. U svojim radovima Paulus često istražuje neke partikularne pojave u filmskoj glazbi,1 a dokumentirala je i doprinos hrvatskih skladatelja ovom području.2 Njezina doktorska disertacija bavila se sintezom istraživanja filmske glazbe na hrvatskom govornom području i ponudila je rješenja otvorenih terminoloških pitanja i okvirne smjernice u metodologiji istraživanja filmske glazbe,3 a u knjizi Teorija filmske glazbe kroz teoriju filmskog zvuka donosi pregled mogućih metoda u istraživanju filmske glazbe.4 Upravo su ti radovi bili polazna točka ovog istraživanja. Film The Piano redateljice Jane Campion u muzikološkom je smislu zanimljiv: u njemu glazba ima vrlo izraženu, gotovo samostalnu ulogu. Zbog toga se riječ 1 Primjerice, upotrebu glazbe Claudea Debussyja u različitim filmovima (Paulus 2018) ili upotrebu lajtmotiva u glazbi Johna Williamsa u filmskoj trilogiji Star Wars (Paulus 2000), pa čak i funkciju glazbe u odjavnoj špici u filmskoj trilogiji o Jamesu Bourneu (Paulus 2016).

  • Michael Nyman
    This pdf was last updated: Apr/23/2010. Michael Nyman Celebrated for his modular, repetitive style, minimalist composer Michael Nyman is among experimental music's most high-profile proponents, Line-up Michael Nyman - piano Gabrielle Lester - violin Anne Morfee - violin Catherine Musker - viola Anthony Hinnigan - cello David Roach - saxophones Simon Haram - saxophones Andrew Findon - saxophone, flute Steve Sidwell - trumpet David Lee - horn Nigel Barr - bass trombone, euphonium Martin Elliott - bass guitar On Stage: 12 Travel Party: 14 Website www.michaelnyman.com Biography When Michael Nyman published his study Experimental Music: John Cage and Beyond (1974), he could hardly have foreseen his own contribution to that "beyond". Rejecting the orthodoxies of British modernism, Nyman had abandoned composition in 1964, working instead as a musicologist, editing Purcell and Handel, and collecting folk music in Romania. Later he became a music critic, in which capacity he was the first to apply the word "minimalism" to music, in a 1968 review for the Spectator of Cornelius Cardew's The Great Digest. But soon a route back to composition was emerging. He wrote the libretto for Harrison Birtwistle's 1969 "dramatic pastoral" Down by the Greenwood Side. In 1977, Birtwistle commissioned him to provide arrangements of 18th-century Venetian songs for the production of Carlo Goldoni's play Il Campiello. Thrilled by the results, Nyman kept the Campiello Band together, now propelled by his own piano-playing. Soon the band's line-up mutated. The Campiello Band became the amplified Michael Nyman Band with a string quartet, three saxophones, bass trombone, bass guitar and piano.
