The venture was so successful that the promoters incorporated the Berkshire Symphonic Festival and repeated the experiment during the next summer. The Festival Committee then invited Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra to take part in the following year's concerts. The orchestra's Trustees accepted, and on August 13, 1936, the Boston Symphony Orchestra

    Cover Art A MESSAGE FROM THE MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER Dispersed over the centuries to all corners of the earth, the Jewish people absorbed elements of its host cultures while, miraculously, maintaining its own. As many Jews reconnected in America, escaping persecution and seeking to take part in a visionary democratic society, their experiences found voice in their music. The sacred and secular body of work that has developed over the three centuries since Jews first arrived on these shores provides a powerful means of expressing the multilayered saga of American Jewry. My personal interest in music and deep abiding commitment to synagogue life and the Jewish people united as I developed an increasing appreciation for the quality and tremendous diversity of music written for or inspired by the American Jewish experience. Through discussions with contemporary Jewish composers and performers during the 1980s, I realized that while much of this music had become a vital force in American and world culture, even more music of specifically Jewish content had been created, perhaps performed, and then lost to current and future generations. Believing that there was a unique opportunity to rediscover, preserve, and transmit the collective memory contained within this music, the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music was founded in 1990. This project would unite the Jewish people’s eternal love of music with their commitment to education, a commitment shared by the Milken Family Foundation since our founding in 1982. The passionate collaboration of many distinguished artists, ensembles, and recording producers has created a vast repository of musical resources to educate, entertain, and inspire people of all faiths and cultures.

  • Shifts in Protestant Worship and Doctrine – J
    Shifts in Protestant Worship and Doctrine – J. Stockton Shifts in Protestant Worship and Doctrine Pastor Jonathan Stockton 2017 BBTS Fall Lecture Series " Baptists and the Reformation" Protestant philosophy with respect to worship has been in flux for the past seventy years. Because of that, and in order to address shifts, a baseline must be established. A church's and a Christian's philosophy of music and worship should be doctrinal. That is, they should be sifted through the Scriptures just as any other dogma. For instance, the tongues movement, as a pneumatology, is contrasted to Scripture, and cast out. Calvinism, as a soteriology, is thrown against the castle wall of Scripture, and repelled. So there should be a "doctrine" of music! This is not "hymnology," which studies primarily the music used in worship, but a doctrine of music in its general use in the world, with or without lyrics. It might be called "psallology." It should be a Scriptural musicology. Perhaps to say that a philosophy of music and worship should be doctrinal is a misnomer – they seem to be so inherently, so that a church can often be identified by its music, and its music usually identified by its doctrine. Many would contest that statement, but even casual observation overwhelmingly supports it. I. Should Baptist churches be musical? God's churches are musical. A. Prophecy fulfilled shows that they were musical: 1. Romans 15:9-11 explains that Psalm 18:49-50 is a prophecy of the fact that Gentiles would sing the praises of God along with God's chosen people, because of His great mercy.

L. V. BEETHOVEN (1770-1827) Françoise Papillon, piano INTERMISSION EIN HELDENLEBEN ("A HERO'S LIFE"), OP. 40 .................................. RICHARD STRAUSS (1864-1949) BEETHOVEN’S PIANO CONCERTO NO. 4 IN G, Op. 58 was the last concerto composed for Beetho- ven himself as soloist. It was premiered in the Theater an der Wien on December 22, 1808, at a concert of epic proportions: the program also included the premieres of his Choral Fantasy and both the fifth and sixth symphonies, as well as selections from the Mass in C, the concert aria Ah! perfidio and the obligatory keyboard improvisations by the composer. Contemporary accounts have the concert lasting four hours. A more typical concerto would begin with the full orchestra stating the themes of the exposi- tion loud and clear before the soloist enters. Here however the piano opens the piece with a relaxed, peaceful solo statement, almost as if the composer is still sketching ideas. The four-note rhythmic motive may sound familiar since Beethoven also employed it in his fifth symphony and the Appassionata sonata, Op. 57. Although spirited, the first movement retains a sense of peace throughout. The second movement, however, disturbs that peace abruptly with a stark, almost militaristic unison string entrance. The piano responds with a distant, almost angelic theme. This exchange continues, slowly coming together like an argument transforming into a discus- sion, a gradual meeting of the minds.

Members of the orchestra are involved in a number of innovative community education projects. One of the oldest concert-giving organizations in the world, the RLPO dates back to 1840. In 1957 it acquired the title ‘Royal’, and in 1991 it was the first organization to be granted the freedom of the City of Liverpool. The first professional conductor of the Liverpool Philharmonic, in 1844, was Jakob Zeugheer, followed by Alfred Mellon, Max Bruch, Charles Hallé, Frederic Hymen Cowen, and Thomas Beecham. In 1942 Malcolm Sargent became resident conductor, followed in 1948 by Hugo Rignold as music director. Subsequent incumbents have included Efrem Kurtz and John Pritchard, Walter Weller, David Atherton, Marek Janowski and Libor Pe‰ek, the last appointment bringing a continuing connection with the Czech Republic. He was followed by Petr Altrichter, and Gerard Schwarz was appointed music director in 2001. David Lloyd-Jones David Lloyd–Jones began his professional career in 1959 on the music staff of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and soon became much in demand as a freelance conductor for orchestral and choral concerts, opera, BBC broadcasts and TV studio opera productions. He has appeared at the Royal Opera House (Boris Godunov with both Christoff and Ghaiurov), Welsh National Opera, Scottish Opera and the Wexford, Cheltenham, Edinburgh and Leeds Festivals, and with the major British orchestras.
