Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father. -
We Are TEN – in This Issue
RVW No.31 NEW 2004 Final 6/10/04 10:36 Page 1 Journal of the No.31 October 2004 EDITOR Stephen Connock RVW (see address below) Society We are TEN – In this issue... and still growing! G What RVW means to me Testimonials by sixteen The RVW Society celebrated its 10th anniversary this July – just as we signed up our 1000 th new members member to mark a decade of growth and achievement. When John Bishop (still much missed), Robin Barber and I (Stephen Connock) came together to form the Society our aim was to widen from page 4 appreciation of RVW’s music, particularly through recordings of neglected but high quality music. Looking back, we feel proud of what we have achieved. G 49th Parallel World premieres Through our involvement with Richard Hickox, and Chandos, we have stimulated many fine world by Richard Young premiere recordings, including The Poisoned Kiss, A Cotswold Romance, Norfolk Rhapsody No.2, page 14 The Death of Tintagiles and the original version of A London Symphony. Our work on The Poisoned Kiss represents a special contribution as we worked closely with Ursula Vaughan Williams on shaping the libretto for the recording. And what beautiful music there is! G Index to Journals 11-29 Medal of Honour The Trustees sought to mark our Tenth Anniversary in a special way and decided to award an International Medal of Honour to people who have made a remarkable contribution to RVW’s music. The first such Award was given to Richard Hickox during the concert in Gloucester and more . -
MN Sinfonia Music in the Schools, 2021-2022 Folk Tunes
MN Sinfonia Music in the Schools, 2021-2022 1 Folk Tunes - Music from Around the World Dear Teachers: Following is the curriculum guide for Folk Tunes - Music from Around the World, the Sinfonia Music in the Schools’ program for 2021-2022. This curriculum focuses on “people’s music” – common and popular songs and melodies that have been used for hundreds of years by composers in symphonies, chamber music, concertos, and yes, in popular music to be sure! Music is not created in a vacuum, and certainly can and should be seen in the social contexts of when it was written. Normally, our Music in the Schools has academic focuses, and is structured using state academic standards with related activities. Unfortunately, we could not find state standards for elementary school grade levels for (international) social studies, so instead we focused on the standards and related activities for music. Lesson plans are included for music by Mozart, Mahler, Tchaikovsky and Ponce. As you teach the curriculum, please relate it to your other subjects - especially to historical and geographic contexts. Because of the disruptions caused by the coronavirus, this curriculum is being designed both for online and classroom instruction. Unfortunately, we do not know when the Sinfonia will be able to visit the schools and play live performances as we typically do. Therefore, this guide contains many video links, which may in part substitute for the Sinfonia’s normal live in-school performances. Remember that one of the pre-requisites for participating in MIS is for students to hear classical music daily in the classrooms. -
Nonatonic Harmonic Structures in Symphonies by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax Cameron Logan [email protected]
University of Connecticut OpenCommons@UConn Doctoral Dissertations University of Connecticut Graduate School 12-2-2014 Nonatonic Harmonic Structures in Symphonies by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax Cameron Logan [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations Recommended Citation Logan, Cameron, "Nonatonic Harmonic Structures in Symphonies by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax" (2014). Doctoral Dissertations. 603. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/603 i Nonatonic Harmonic Structures in Symphonies by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax Cameron Logan, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2014 This study explores the pitch structures of passages within certain works by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax. A methodology that employs the nonatonic collection (set class 9-12) facilitates new insights into the harmonic language of symphonies by these two composers. The nonatonic collection has received only limited attention in studies of neo-Riemannian operations and transformational theory. This study seeks to go further in exploring the nonatonic‟s potential in forming transformational networks, especially those involving familiar types of seventh chords. An analysis of the entirety of Vaughan Williams‟s Fourth Symphony serves as the exemplar for these theories, and reveals that the nonatonic collection acts as a connecting thread between seemingly disparate pitch elements throughout the work. Nonatonicism is also revealed to be a significant structuring element in passages from Vaughan Williams‟s Sixth Symphony and his Sinfonia Antartica. A review of the historical context of the symphony in Great Britain shows that the need to craft a work of intellectual depth, simultaneously original and traditional, weighed heavily on the minds of British symphonists in the early twentieth century. -
Pablo Garibay Program
Pablo Garibay in Concert November 9, 2019 Dos Temas Populares Cubanos Leo Brouwer Canción de Cuna (b. 1939) Ojos Brujos The Last Coffee Together Simone Iannarelli (b. 1970) Sonata III Manuel M. Ponce Allegro Moderato (1882-1948) Chanson Allegro non Troppo Intermission Dos Cadencias Eduardo Angulo (b. 1954) Sonata para Guitarra Antonio José Allegro Moderato (1902-1936) Minuetto Pavana Triste Final Program Notes Leo Brouwer: Dos Temas Populares Cubanos Cuban composer and guitarist Leo Brouwer (born 1939) cannot be overstated in his importance not only to guitar composition but across the board in regards to the modernist style. Growing up on an island, Brouwer threw himself into score study, isolating styles and synthesizing them into his own voice, while incorporating Cuban musical devices (most notably evocative dance-like rhythms). The first piece, Canción de Cuna, is a lullaby which invites the listener into a peaceful dream state. Opening with muted strings before a wistful melody emerges, Brouwer creatively engages the audience with washes of harmonies. Occasionally one is caught by striking dissonances, but this Song of the Cradle ends similarly to its beginning, with the return of pizzicato before closing. The second work, Ojos Brujos (which translates to Enchanting Eyes), illustrates more of the characteristic rhythmic interplay and rich harmonic language of Brouwer. One of the most enchanting features of this work is its phrasing, which pulls the audience along powerfully through a variety of cadences. Simone Iannarelli: The Last Coffee Together Composing for the guitar is a notoriously difficult undertaking, to the point that most guitar works which come to prominence are written by guitarists who have an intimate knowledge of the intricacies of the instrument. -
With Elbio Barilari Broadcast Schedule — Spring 2017
FIESTA! with Elbio Barilari Broadcast Schedule — Spring 2017 PROGRAM #: FST 17-01 RELEASE: April 2, 2017 Spanish Music and Visual Arts Spanish composers seem to have a strong predilection for the visual arts. One would say this is not surprising in a country that gave us Diego Velázquez, Goya and Picasso among many other first rate artists. Enrique Granados composed his monumental “Goyescas” (after Francisco Goya) in 1911, as a piano suite and in 1915 used its movements as the skeleton for his opera of the same title. In this program we present a selection of the original piano suite recorded by Cuban pianist Jorge Luis Prats. Goya also receives a tribute from Cuban born Spanish composer Eduardo Morales-Caso. The title of the piece, “Volavérunt”, refers to a 1799 painting by Goya from the series “Los Caprichos.” The meaning of the word is unknown and it was also the focus of an award-winning novel by the Uruguayan writer Antonio Larreta. Catalonian composer Xavier Montsalvatge pays tribute, an ironic tribute it may be said, to Salvador Dalí. His “Folia daliniana” alludes at the same time to the ancient tradition of the 16th century tradition of the “folias” and to the flashy surrealist painter of the famous moustache. Finally, three more Catalonians, Joan Saura, Nuno Rebello and Xavier Maristany, provide a miniature based on the contemporary graphics of the cartoons. This piece is part of a series of improvisations they did during the 1990s.
