  • Weekly Commentary

    Weekly Commentary

    Weekly Commentary October 21, 2019 The Mother Of All Golden Oldies More than 3,400 years ago in the Mediterranean port city of Ugarit, now part of Syria, an unknown composer wrote a hymn in praise of Nikkal, the wife of the moon god. The words and music were carefully chiseled into a stone tablet. It is the oldest surviving song in the world. The tablet was discovered in the 1950s, but it wasn't until the 1970s that University of California at Berkeley Professor Anne Kilmer was able to decipher some of the cuneiform figures on it as musical notation. She recognized them from other Babylonian tablets she had already analyzed, including a four-thousand-year-old instruction manual for tuning an ancient stringed instrument called a lyre. The song appeared to have been written in a seven-note scale similar to the one we use today. Amazingly, Kilmer was able to reconstruct a version of the song note for note, so that the lost tune could be played once again for modern ears. A little late for royalties, however. The song is written in the ancient Hurrian language. The exact lyrics are unclear, although the name of Nikkal is easily recognizable, and Kilmer has translated one phrase as "Thou lovest them in thy heart." Versions of the "Hymn to Nikkal" have been recorded by several modern artist including musicologist Richard Crocker and Syrian Pianist Malek Jandali. The exact location of the Bronze Age city of Ugarit was unknown to modern archaeologist until a syrian farmer accidentally opened an old tomb while plowing a field.

A major new addition to the 21st century’s symphonic literature.” – Fanfare Magazine “Eclectic… stormy music evokes the image of a boat swamped by waves.” – The Baltimore Sun "Commissioned by the BSO, Jandali’s ‘The Silent Ocean’ found a rapt audience at its world premiere.” – The Washington Post Full Length Biography His work described by Gramophone as “deeply enigmatic” and by American Record Guide as “heart-rending melodies, lush orchestration, clever transitions and creative textures,” composer Malek Jandali is widely regarded as “a major new addition to the 21st century’s symphonic literature” as noted by Fanfare Magazine. Recent commissions and premieres include a Viola Concerto for Roberto Diaz, a String Quartet for the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, and a world premiere by Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Marin Alsop who described The Silent Ocean as “an evocative and emotional journey for musicians and audience members. In this piece Jandali captures the struggle, trauma and triumph of our displaced brothers and sisters, through the voice of a child. It is a beautiful and important message.” Mr. Jandali’s compositions not only integrate Middle-Eastern modes into Western classical forms and harmony, but also echo UNESCO’s call to preserve and protect the rich cultural heritage of his homeland Syria at a time when it is being eradicated.

    Clubbing in Los Angeles Jonny Coleman Tackles the Multi-Farious Scene in One of America's Biggest Cities

    Clubbing in Los Angeles Jonny Coleman tackles the multi-farious scene in one of America's biggest cities. Los Angeles has always been a capital of pop culture. Outside of rave, however, it's never had much of a reputation for its dance music culture. Until recently, that is. The efforts of local promoters have given rise to enormous EDM festivals, the Low End Theory-driven beat scene and thriving techno and house crews—and have led to the city finally becoming internationally recognized. Now, it seems, a place that houses four million people inside the city limits and 18 million in the greater Southland area, is finally representing itself on the world stage. True to its geography—a set of suburbs fronting as a megalopolis—Los Angeles doesn't have a dominant sound or theme. Instead, there are many scenes tugging for attention and battling over the few legitimate dance venues the city has to offer. It's enormously difficult to acquire a liquor license in LA, thanks in no small part to club-owning cowboys like Eddie Nash (of Wonderland murder fame), and those that do can't serve all that late anyway. Most nights last from 10 until 2 or 3 AM (a reality that often results in seeing your headlining DJ for two hours). It doesn't help that many of the historical clubs/bars in places like Hollywood and West Hollywood are a tough sell to fans of underground music, as the price points, degree of parking difficulty and douchebaggery quotient are all high. That means that many parties of note take place downtown or in other east side neighborhoods (if not a private estate).
