  • A Festival of the Arts

    A Festival of the Arts

    WHEATLEY SECONDARY SCHOOL A FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS April 3rd, 5th, 6th, 1962 at 7.30 p.m. prompt Programme This Arts Festival is the “ brain child ” of Mr. J. W. Babb, L.R.A.M., L.T.C.L., Music Master at the School, and it is due to his enthusiasm and inspiration alone, that it has come to pass. It is his “ swan song ” as he leaves us in July to take up a similar, and I am sure, more rewarding post at Wintringham Grammar School, Grimsby. Time after time, we have offered Drama and Music classes in the Further Education Centre here, but continued support by a body of people having the same tastes and abilities has been difficult to maintain, and of late years we have had to acknowledge that the catchment area will not carry such activities on a regular weekly basis. In organising this Festival therefore, we have asked for, and obtained the support of a number of patrons who are happy to attend up to three evenings in the week to' share in the delights of music and drama made by “ live ” musicians and actors, in a hall which has recently been made accoustically far more sympathetic than in the past. The musical programme, is conservative in its choice of composers, but combines well known works with those which are not so familiar to most of us. We welcome both the Capriol Orchestra with Reginald Morley, the well-known violinist, as soloist, and The Trinity College Consort. “ Waiting for Godot ”, one of the most controversial plays of this century, cannot fail to intrigue and entertain, in a manner possibly different from the usual drama.

    Julie Andrijeski's Cabinet of Wonders at Tregoning & Company (Nov

    Julie Andrijeski’s Cabinet of Wonders at Tregoning & Company (Nov. 12) by Nicholas Jones Cleveland-based Baroque violinist Julie Andrijeski, well-known to area audiences for her performances with Les Délices and Apollo’s Fire, premiered a new project on Saturday, November 12 in a lively concert at the Tregoning & Company gallery on West 78th Street. Surrounded by Giancarlo Calicchia’s striking sculptures, Andrijeski and friends performed fascinating works by neglected 17th-century European composers. With the support of a 2016 Creative Workforce Fellowship from the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture (funded by Cuyahoga Arts & Culture), Andrijeski is currently on research leave from her teaching and conducting duties at Case Western Reserve University. She is devoting her time to studying the enormous archive of early Baroque music for the violin, collections that are still for the most part unedited, and little performed. Spending time in this treasure trove of music, according to Andrijeski, is like visiting one of the strange cabinets of curiosities that scholars and collectors assembled in that time of scientific and artistic exploration. In such a “Wonder Chamber” — in German, a Wunderkammer — one might encounter such diverse specimens as a stuffed crocodile, a ​ nautilus shell, a neolithic axe, or a cloisonné bowl: things that fascinated and baffled the inquisitive minds of the times. A sense of discovery was evident throughout the evening. While the composers included some familiar names, such as Dieterich Buxtehude and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, we also heard pieces by the little-known German Johann Schop (ca. 1590-1667) and the Austrian violinist Johann Heinrich Schmeltzer (ca.

    III CHAPTER III the BAROQUE PERIOD 1. Baroque Music (1600-1750) Baroque – Flamboyant, Elaborately Ornamented A. Characteristic

    III CHAPTER III THE BAROQUE PERIOD 1. Baroque Music (1600-1750) Baroque – flamboyant, elaborately ornamented a. Characteristics of Baroque Music 1. Unity of Mood – a piece expressed basically one basic mood e.g. rhythmic patterns, melodic patterns 2. Rhythm – rhythmic continuity provides a compelling drive, the beat is more emphasized than before. 3. Dynamics – volume tends to remain constant for a stretch of time. Terraced dynamics – a sudden shift of the dynamics level. (keyboard instruments not capable of cresc/decresc.) 4. Texture – predominantly polyphonic and less frequently homophonic. 5. Chords and the Basso Continuo (Figured Bass) – the progression of chords becomes prominent. Bass Continuo - the standard accompaniment consisting of a keyboard instrument (harpsichord, organ) and a low melodic instrument (violoncello, bassoon). 6. Words and Music – Word-Painting - the musical representation of specific poetic images; E.g. ascending notes for the word heaven. b. The Baroque Orchestra – Composed of chiefly the string section with various other instruments used as needed. Size of approximately 10 – 40 players. c. Baroque Forms – movement – a piece that sounds fairly complete and independent but is part of a larger work. -Binary and Ternary are both dominant. 2. The Concerto Grosso and the Ritornello Form - concerto grosso – a small group of soloists pitted against a larger ensemble (tutti), usually consists of 3 movements: (1) fast, (2) slow, (3) fast. - ritornello form - e.g. tutti, solo, tutti, solo, tutti solo, tutti etc. Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047 Title on autograph score: Concerto 2do à 1 Tromba, 1 Flauto, 1 Hautbois, 1 Violino concertati, è 2 Violini, 1 Viola è Violone in Ripieno col Violoncello è Basso per il Cembalo.

One of the casualties of this change was the recital recording, in which an artist or ensemble would present an interesting arrangement of musical pieces that followed a certain theme or style—much like a live concert. Although recital recordings were of course made, and are perhaps making a comeback, most recordings featured a single composer and were sold in alphabetized bins: B for Bach; V for Vivaldi.
