  • Visual Art in the English Parish Church Since 1945
    Peter Webster Institute of Historical Research Visual art in the English parish church since 1945 [One of a series of short articles contributed to the DVD-ROM The English Parish Church (York, Centre for the Study of Christianity and Culture, 2010).1] Even the most fleeting of tours of the English cathedrals in the present day would give an observer the impression that the Church of England was a major patron of contemporary art. Commissions, competitions and exhibitions abound; at the time of writing Chichester cathedral is in the process of commissioning a major new work, and the shortlist of artists includes figures of the stature of Mark Wallinger and Antony Gormley. It is less well known that this activity is in fact a relatively recent phenomenon. In the early 1930s, by contrast, it was widely thought (amongst those clergy, artists and critics who thought about such things) that there was, in the strictest sense, no art at all in English churches. Of course, the medieval cathedrals and parish churches contained many exquisite examples of the art of their time. The nineteenth century had seen a massive boom in urban church building in the revived Gothic style, with attendant furnishings and decoration. However, the vast bulk of the stained glass, ornaments and church plate of the more recent past was regarded as hopelessly derivative at best, and of poor workmanship at worst. The sculptor Henry Moore wrote of the ‘affected and sentimental prettiness’ of much of the church art of his time. One director of the Tate Gallery argued that if the contents of churches were the only evidence available, ‘our civilisation would be found shallow, vulgar, timid and complacent, the meanest there has ever been.’ Much research remains to be done on that nineteenth century heritage, to determine how justly such charges were laid against it.

Volume I These days, labels such as classical, rock and pop mean less and less since young musicians frequently blur boundaries between genres. These young musicians have built an alternative musical universe. I construct five different categories to explore this universe. They are 1) circuits of alternate concert venues, 2) cross-genre collaborations, 3) alternative modes of musical groups, 4) new compositional trends in classical chamber music, and 5) new ensembles and record labels. ii In this dissertation, I aim to explore these five categories, connecting them to recent cultural trends in New York.

  • 125 Commissions Project and Premieres
    18|19 COMMISSIONS PROJECT Carnegie Hall’s commitment to the music of tomorrow continues with the fourth year of its five-year project during which at least 125 new works will be commissioned from today’s leading composers. Through the 125 Commissions Project, Carnegie Hall expands upon its history as the preeminent venue where music history is made. Launched during the Hall’s 125th anniversary season in 2015, the project features new solo, chamber, and orchestral music from both established and emerging composers, including John Adams, Thomas Adès, Timo Andres, Donnacha Dennehy, Bryce Dessner, Philip Glass, Sofia Gubaidulina, Brad Mehldau, Nico Muhly, Steve Reich, Frederic Rzewski, Caroline Shaw, Tyshawn Sorey, Chris Thile, and Jörg Widmann. As part of the project, Carnegie Hall has sought to partner with co-commissioners as much as possible in order to maximize the number of performances for new each work. As part of the 125 Commissions Project, Kronos Quartet and Kronos Performing Arts Organization continue Fifty for the Future: The Kronos Learning Repertoire. Collaborating with many diverse partners over five seasons, Kronos is co-commissioning 50 new works by 25 men and 25 women devoted to contemporary approaches to the string quartet, designed expressly for the training of students and emerging professionals. Composers commissioned to write works for previous seasons included Fodé Lassana Diabaté, Rhiannon Giddens, Garth Knox, Aleksandra Vrebalov, Wu Man, and Karin Rehnqvist. Commissions for the 2018–2019 season include works written by Bryce Dessner, Susie Ibarra, Jlin, Vladimir Martynov, Missy Mazzoli, Misato Mochizuki, Terry Riley, Henry Threadgill, Mario Galeano Toro, and Lu Yun.

  • Benjamin Britten's Liturgical Music and Its Place in the Anglican

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This study presents a detailed analysis of the liturgical music of Benjamin Britten (1913- 1976). In addition to several pieces Britten wrote for the Anglican liturgy and one for the Roman Catholic Church, a number of other works, not originally composed for liturgical purpose, but which fonction well in a liturgical setting, are included, providing a substantial repertory which has hitherto received little critical commentary. Although not occupying a place of central importance in the composer’s musical output, it is argued that a detailed examination of this liturgical music is important to form a fuller understanding of Britten’s creative character; it casts additional light on the composer’s technical procedures (in particular his imaginative exploitation of tonal structure which embraced modality, free-tonality and twelve-tone ideas) and explores further Britten’s commitment to the idea of a composer serving society.

  • Nico Muhly by Adam Baer
    The PlayerPlayer:: Nico Muhly By Adam Baer Last spring at the New York concert space The Kitchen, the energetic, always adventurous composer Nico Muhly performed what may have been a first: a work that involved “playing” human hair. Well, not literally. As violist Nadia Sirota, one of several collaborators on stage, bowed the notes, Muhly imitatively stroked and plucked the long red tresses of three women lying above him on slabs. The playful bit of performance art drew chuckles from the admiring crowd, which included Björk and artist Matthew Barney, who had come no doubt expecting some theater. The concert—played on a stage set of bones, skulls, and webs of braided rope created by the Icelandic artist Shoplifter—was classic Muhly, straddling the line between campy and brilliant, between unabashedly affected and profoundly beautiful. At just 27, Muhly is a rare specimen in the music world: Classically trained yet fearless and rangy, he’s embraced by the establishment but perpetually pursuing experimental work. Muhly’s current projects He accomplished all of this—and more— include composing a new work for the while working for Philip Glass (a Metropolitan Opera (unheard of for someone multifaceted job he started as a joint under 30) and a score for a Scott Rudin- Columbia-Juilliard student) and maintaining produced Hollywood film. Last year he wrote a performance schedule that has put him on a piece for the Paris Opera Ballet and a such varied stages as London’s Royal soundtrack for Isaac Mizrahi’s New York Academy of Music, Symphony Hall in Fashion Week runway show.
