BEILIANG ZHU, CELLO Dear readers, instead of listing my past accomplishments in third person, I am going to use this opportunity to communicate with you what really matters to me as a performer. When I walk onto the stage, I often wonder: what does music mean to everyone here? It is many things to me: a reflection of the present, a recollection of the past, a comforting hug in sadness, a cheerful toast in celebration, or even a sweetener for a slightly tart strawberry. As an introvert, I have connected with the world in ways far beyond what my social skills allow because of music. When the music fills a room, everyone present enters a new dimension in the space- time and is permitted to create a world as they please. When I hear music, I see stories, perhaps the composers’ stories, my own, someone else’s, or simply fairy tales that are conjured up by the magic of sound waves. And you, my lovely audience, are part of my story as much as I am part of yours right now. Time stops as the heartbeat echoes. For information such as my degrees, awards, press quotes, collaborations with famous people, and appearances in prestigious venues and concert series, please visit my website www.beiliangzhu.com. MERCURY SEASON 20/21 | 6 ARTIST PROFILES MARIO ASCHAUER, HARPSICHORD Praised as an “unconventionally playful” performer by the press, Mario Aschauer works as conductor, harpsichordist, and musicologist at the interface of music scholarship and performance. As a performer on historical keyboard instruments, Mario specializes in Austrian repertoire from the Baroque and Classical periods. He is member of the Calamus-Consort, which won first prize at the International H.I.F. Biber Competition in 2009 and since then has been invited to numerous renowned early music festivals such as Resonanzen Wien, Bach Fest Leipzig (Germany), and Itinéraire Baroque en Périgord Vert (France). Their CD “Un dolce affanno” (Passacaille, 2012) features highlights from operas performed at the Vienna court around 1700 with chalumeau, clarinet, and harpsichord as solo instruments. Having earned a degree in conducting from the Linz Bruckner Conservatory at the young age of seventeen, Mario had already conducted major works from the choral and symphonic canon before he graduated from high school. With his period instrument group Ensemble NovAntique Linz, Mario has performed late eighteenth-century repertoire beyond the standard including large-scale sacred and symphonic works and oratorios by composers such as Florian Leopold Gassmann, Joseph Martin Kraus, Antonio Salieri and Georg Christoph Wagenseil. In addition, Mario also collaborates with early music ensembles such as Progetto Semiserio Vienna, Harmony of Nations Baroque Orchestra, Ars Antiqua Austria, and L’Orfeo Baroque Orchestra, Ars Lyrica Houston, Houston Bach Society, and Mercury Chamber Orchestra. Mario Aschauer is Assistant Professor of Music at the Sam Houston State University School of Music where he also directs the Center for Early Music Research and Performance (CEMRAP). Furthermore, he teaches harpsichord and basso continuo at the Rice University Shepherd School of Music. In addition to his conducting degree from the Linz Bruckner Conservatory, Mario holds degrees in harpsichord performance from the University of Music and Performing Arts (Vienna), and a PhD in musicology from the University of Vienna. He has since returned to teach at these institutions. Mario’s current recording projects include a selection of keyboard works by Mozart and Beethoven contemporary Emanuel Aloys Förster. MERCURY SEASON 20/21 | 7 ARTIST PROFILES ANTOINE PLANTE, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR LYNN WYATT CHAIR Praised by audiences and musicians alike for his conducting verve and innovative programming, Antoine Plante has garnered praise for bringing music to life.“Plante led his orchestra, the choir and the soloists in an impressive account of the Requiem: authoritative, vigorous, emotionally intense, at times utterly gripping,’’writes Charles Ward of the Houston Chronicle. Plante is a founder of Mercury Chamber Orchestra, a Houston, Texas- based orchestra that has experienced

Philips 4784614, Tr 13–15. 9:32 Let’s face it, the harpsichord is an acquired taste. In popular culture, never help- ful for appreciating the fine or unusual, the harpsichord is shorthand for—at best—stuffy, rich, out-of-touch, let-them-eat-cake. That’s at best. At worst, it’s sinister. And that doesn’t even count Lurch on The Addams Family. The harpsichord is a beautiful instrument that has often been misapplied. It has a delicate, refined sound, yet can help to keep the players onstage together. Indeed, before we stood conductors on their feet in front of everyone, they were often in the middle of the orches- tra, seated at and playing the harpsichord.

In less than a year, the new king, Gustav III, had turned the entire leadership of the kingdom topsy-turvy through his bloodless coup d’état, and in the consolida- tion of his rulership, he had embarked upon a bold, even politically risky venture, the creation of a state-sponsored public opera that was to reflect a new cultural nationalism, with which he hoped to imbue the citizenry with an understanding of the special role he hoped they would play in the years to come.

  • Noteworthy 16-2006
    F.A.P. December 2OO7 Note-Worthy Music Stamps, Part 16 by Ethel Bloesch (Note: Part 16 describes stamps with musical notation that were issued in 2006.) ANTIGUA & BARBUDA Scott 2887 Michel 4353-4356 A sheet issued July 3, 2006 for the 250 th anniversary of the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756- 1791). On the left side of the sheet are four stamps (three portraits of the young Mozart and a violin). The right side features a page of music superimposed on the unfinished portrait of Mozart by Joseph Lange, 1789. The music is the first page of the solo horn part to Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 3 in E-flat major, KV 447, now thought to have been written in 1787. The orchestration (clarinets and bassoons, rather than oboes and horns) and the lyrical musical style make this work more intimate and less extroverted than Mozart's three other horn concertos. ARMENIA Scott 730 Michel 540 A stamp issued March 28, 2006 for the 125 th anniversary of the birth of the Armenian musician Spiridon Melikian (1880-1933). His contributions to the musical culture of Armenia were wide- ranging: he engaged in expeditions to study Armenian folklore, wrote text-books and other musicological works, taught in the conservatory in Yerevan, and was one of the founders of the Armenian Choral Society. He also composed two children's operas, choral works, and songs. The stamp features a portrait of Melikian, with unidentified music in the background. AUSTRIA Scott 2067 Michel 2617 This stamp has been issued jointly by Austria and China on September 26, 2006.

  • Effectiveness of Your Initial Assessment
    1. J S Bach Brandenburg Concerto No.4 in G First Movement (Allegro) (For Unit 6: Further Musical Understanding) Before turning to the academic study of this movement, let us forget for a moment that it is the first work in an Anthology for examination students. Instead, listen to it for its sheer, unmistakable joie de vivre. We cannot know just how Bach happened to feel as he wrote it for his rich, cultivated employer and his orchestra of first-rate fellow musicians, but this joyous music speaks of energy and confidence, delight in both life and music-making. The concerto The concerto was to the earlier eighteenth century what the symphony was to the classical period – the most serious medium of concerted instrumental music. Although the word had been used throughout the seventeenth century to describe various forms of composition, the concerto as we understand it emerged in Italy in the last quarter of that century. Corelli developed the definitive form of the concerto grosso, which sets off a trio of soloists (the concertino – two violins and cello) against a string orchestra known as the ripieno (‘the rest’). At the same time, Torelli, Albinoni and other Italians were developing the solo concerto, which laid much greater emphasis on instrumental virtuosity. The most productive Italian writer of concertos was the Venetian Vivaldi. Vivaldi developed the ritornello form with its emphasis on sharply delineated, memorable themes and rondo-like structure. Bach arranged several of Vivaldi’s concertos for organ, and in his own concertos blended Vivaldi’s muscular directness with his own typically north-European skill in harmony and counterpoint.

The Historical Performance movement began as a revolution: a reimagining of musical conventions, a rediscovery of instruments, techniques, and artworks that inspire and teach us, and a celebration of diversity in repertoire. It is also a conversation with the past, a past whose legacy of racism and colonialism has silenced and excluded too many voices from being heard. We do not seek simply to recreate what might have been, but to imagine what should be. We embrace Juilliard's values of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging, through voices heard anew and historical works presented with empathetic perspectives, and we reject discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization. We recognize that we study and work on the traditional homeland of those who preceded us (see Juilliard's land acknowledgement statement, below). We are committed to collaborations with scholars and performers from a diverse range of viewpoints and backgrounds, and we seek to share the music we love so much in active engagement with the community around us.
