We are delighted that you are here to share in this celebration of the beautiful and inspiring music of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries. We are deeply indebted to Albert Riemenschneider and his wife, Selma, for having the uncommon wisdom and courage to establish this festival more than eight decades ago. For generations Baldwin Wallace, the people of Berea, the Greater Cleveland community, and music lovers from across the land have benefitted from the beauty and grandeur of the works of J. S. Bach as they have been so distinctively showcased in this enduring gift to the region. We also are thankful for the career and contributions of Dwight Oltman, who is retiring after 39 years as Music Director for this festival. Our students have been preparing since September to perform for you today. Their work is reflective of the depth of talent and the quality throughout our Conservatory of Music. It also is indicative of the quality of teaching and learning that is taking place in every corner of our campus. You can feel the excitement at BW each day. We welcomed a near-record class of new students this fall and we continue to invest in our campus. Just to the east of this Conservatory, Davidson Commons is providing a vibrant new residence experience for 177 BW students. Another bold renovation and expansion project, the Packard Athletic Center, was dedicated in October and provides additional state-of-the-art training facilities for our students. As you look around, you also can see that this festival is stronger than ever. We are grateful to our patrons, subscribers, guests, benefactors and external partners whose support keeps this exceptional tradition alive and thriving. Thank ouy for coming. Enjoy the wonderful music and the exceptional talents of our students, faculty and guest performers. We look forward to welcoming you back soon to our campus community. Robert C. Helmer President 5 The Baldwin Wallace University Conservatory of Music All-Steinway Initiative Only a handful of conservatories world-wide are able to claim the designation of All-Steinway School—signifying all of their pianos meet the highest industry standards.

  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

The emergence of techno music – commonly used in France as electronic dance music – in the early 1990s is inseparable from rave parties as a form of spatiotemporal deployment. It signifies that the live diffusion via a sound system powerful enough to diffuse not only its volume but also its sound frequencies spectrum, including infrabass, is an integral part of the techno experience. In other words listening on domestic equipment is not a sufficient condition to experience this music.

  • The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I
    The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I Edited by Theodore Hoelty-Nickel Valparaiso, Indiana The greatest contribution of the Lutheran Church to the culture of Western civilization lies in the field of music. Our Lutheran University is therefore particularly happy over the fact that, under the guidance of Professor Theodore Hoelty-Nickel, head of its Department of Music, it has been able to make a definite contribution to the advancement of musical taste in the Lutheran Church of America. The essays of this volume, originally presented at the Seminar in Church Music during the summer of 1944, are an encouraging evidence of the growing appreciation of our unique musical heritage. O. P.

  • Corporeal Expression and the Paradox of Acting in the German Theater Discourse Around 1800
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository STAGING SPONTANEITY: CORPOREAL EXPRESSION AND THE PARADOX OF ACTING IN THE GERMAN THEATER DISCOURSE AROUND 1800 Matthew West Feminella A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures (German). Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Clayton Koelb Eric Downing Jonathan Hess Gabriel Trop Inga Pollmann © 2016 Matthew West Feminella ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MATTHEW WEST FEMINELLA: Staging Spontaneity: Corporeal Expression and the Paradox of Acting in the German Theater Discourse Around 1800 (Under the direction of Clayton Koelb) This dissertation explores how theories of spontaneity and the body are integrated into acting discourses on the German stage. I argue that the spontaneity of the human body represents a recurring feature in the acting discourses around 1800, which provoked a variety of responses from theorists of the theaters. These responses range from theorizing how to utilize corporeal spontaneity for the benefit of the theater to how to diminish its potential inimical effects on dramatic production. Theorizing about actors and spontaneity led these thinkers to re-conceptualize their notions of anthropology, semiotics, media, and human agency. Chapter 1 examines how Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in his correspondences and dramaturgical writings develops acting techniques that seek to reconcile intentionality and spontaneity: actors create mental images of bodies through poetic language that in turn are integrated into their own affective and bodily motions, thus artificially producing the impression of spontaneous natural action on stage.
