  • Septuagesima, Third Sunday Before Lent – 9Th February 2020
    1 Music Notes: Septuagesima, Third Sunday before Lent – 9th February 2020 It is difficult to believe that it is already just over seven years since the death of Richard Rodney Bennett (1936–2012) – he contrived to expire on Christmas Eve 2012. He was a remarkable composer and performer. As a student at the Royal Academy, he studied with Howard Ferguson and Lennox Berkeley, although perhaps with little evidence of this in his later works. While at the Academy (where he would later teach himself), he struck up a good relationship with the British avant garde composer Cornelius Cardew, before going to study with Boulez in Paris, who impressed him deeply, although not permanently. At that time, he was much taken with Boulez’s music, and with it, the entire serialist school. “Serial” here refers to a style of composition in which (in its classic version) a sequence of notes is defined – usually not something that most people would call a “tune” in the conventional sense – and the composer then uses this as the “input” for a work, manipulating the so-called “tone row” in a variety of ways to form the structure of the music. To be rather blunt, this doesn’t work well for many people, and it is often what people mean when they speak of “squeaky gate music”. Still, it became a very important compositional device for many years in the hands of a large number of composers. For a time, it almost succeeded in knocking most other approaches to composition out of the way. In recent years, this has changed again.

  • Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).

    THE PARISH OF ST. VINCENT FERRER AND T ATHERINE OF IENA S . C S The Very Reverend Walter C. Wagner, O.P., Pastor James D. Wetzel, Director of Music and Organist ADVENT LESSONS AND CAROLS Sunday, December 15, 2019 3:00 PM The four weeks of Advent look to Christ’s coming—in meekness and mercy at his Incarnation and in judgement and glory at the end of time. During this season of expectancy and anticipation, the Church focuses our attention on the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament through which the ancient people of God were taught to hope for their Savior so that we can understand God’s new covenant, not as an abolishment of the ancient Law or the Prophets, but rather as a fulfillment of them. The lessons of today’s service survey the message of these Prophets of the Advent, with each emphasizing a different aspect of the Messiah’s nature (i.e. his restoration of Israel; his association with the Holy City; his conception in the Virgin; his humble birth in the ‘House of Bread’; his radiant joy; his justice; and his lineage as King). A retiring free-will offering will be accepted. Thank you for your generosity. A reception follows in St. Dominic’s Hall on the second floor of the Priory. All are cordially invited. Because of this Service, Vespers will not be sung this afternoon at St. Vincent Ferrer.
