The Deviant Septet appears by arrangement with Serious Music Media, http://www.seriousmusicmedia.com Deviant Septet The Deviant Septet gave its premiere concert in May 2011. The group’s commission of David Liptak’s Focusing received a 2013 Serge Koussevitzky Foundation commissioning grant. The Septet’s members also perform with various contemporary groups like Alarm Will Sound, Ensemble Signal, the International Contemporary Ensemble, Ensemble ACJW, the Wordless Music Orchestra, and the Talea Ensemble, and they collaborate with artists such as The National, David Byrne, the Dirty Projectors, Tyondai Braxton, St. Vincent, and John Zorn. This season's highlights include three trips to Duke University, where the Deviant Septet works with Ph.D. student composers and premieres a new version of Pierrot Lunaire arranged for septet; the world premiere of a new work by Doug and Brad Balliett for septet and choir with the Cecilia Chorus in New York City; a swing through Texas to play and teach at Rice University; and the release of the Deviant Septet's first album with music by Igor Stravinsky and Esa-Pekka Salonen. The Septet just received grants from the Alice M. Ditson Fund and the Amphion Foundation to support their Summer Composition Intensive at Dickinson College, an annual festival for young composers to work intimately with the ensemble, starting in June 2017. Individual Biographies Violinist Karen Kim is widely hailed for her sensitive musicianship and passionate commitment to chamber and contemporary music. Her performances have been described as “compellingly structured and intimately detailed” (Cleveland Classical) and “muscular and gripping” (New York Classical Review). She has performed extensively on five continents. Among her recordings with the Parker Quartet, the complete string quartets of György Ligeti received the Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance. Karen is a member of Third Sound, the East Coast Contemporary Ensemble, the Cadillac Moon Ensemble, and Ensemble Échappe, and frequently performs with the East Coast Chamber Orchestra, Metropolis Ensemble, NOVUS NY, and the Chameleon Arts Ensemble.

Program Notes Caroline Shaw New York-based musician Caroline Shaw is a Grammy-winning singer in Roomful of Teeth, a violinist in the American Contemporary Music Ensemble, and the youngest ever winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music, for her enigmatic composition Partita for 8 Voices. Recent and current projects include commissions for the Cincinnati Symphony, the Guggenheim Museum Works & Process Series, and the Folger Library, and collaborations with Kanye West. In her work L.E.O., commissioned by the Deviant Septet, Shaw reimagines Leo from Stockhausen’s Tierkreis. Chris Cerrone Recovering is about gradually coming back to how things were, and in the process becoming something new. When wounds heal, new skin grows back in its place. In this piece, I selected a brief moment from L’Histoire du soldat’s “Pastorale” and froze it. This gesture is first played by a sustained vibraphone, coated in a delicate haze of breath sounds arranged to surround the audience—as in recovery, breathing is the most basic element. Stravinsky’s gesture gradually thaws and gains direction, joined by evolving sounds in the strings. In time, tiny alterations to the gesture—a displaced octave, a new pitch, different harmonies, and finally a regular pulse—recontextualize it completely from its origins in L’Histoire. Only at this point does the music reach a state of repose and stability, if only temporarily. Recovering is dedicated to my teacher and friend Nils Vigeland, who first introduced me to the wonders of Stravinsky, particularly L’Histoire. Esa-Pekka Salonen How does one compose a piece for the distinctive Soldier’s Tale instrumentation and make it not sound too much like Stravinsky’s masterpiece? Catch and Release lends itself more to some other Stravinsky gems: the trombone glissandi from Pulcinella and the wind fanfares from Agon. The influence of John Adams and Maurice Ravel can be heard, too. The perky spirit, the exceptional quick wit, the quicksilver rhythmic writing, and the fresh harmonic language are pure Salonen, though. In the end, Catch and Release may be more companion to Salonen's own Insomnia, his dark 9/11 orchestral score. He said that it contains ideas he had in 2002, when writing the earlier work, but that they were too bright for it.

  • Espressivo Program Notes April 2018 the Evolution of Chamber Music For
    Espressivo Program Notes April 2018 The evolution of chamber music for a mixed ensemble of winds and strings coincides with the domestication of the double bass. Previously used as an orchestral instrument or in dance music, the instrument was admitted into the salon in the late eighteenth century. The granddaddy of the genre is Beethoven’s Septet of 1800, for four strings, clarinet, horn and bassoon. Beethoven seems to have discovered that the largest string instrument, essentially doubling the cello an octave lower and with the capability to play six notes below the lowest note on the bassoon, provided overtones that enhanced the vibrations of the higher instruments. In any case, the popularity of the Septet, which sustains to this day, caused the original players to have a similar work commissioned from Franz Schubert, who added a second violin for his Octet (1824). (Espressivo performed it last season.) It is possible, if not probable, that Schubert’s good friend Franz Lachner wrote his Nonet for the same group, adding a flute, but the origins, and even the date of the composition are in dispute. An indicator might be the highlighting of the virtuosic violin part, as it would have been played by Ignaz Schuppanzigh, who had premiered both the Septet and the Octet. All three works, Septet, Octet and Nonet, have slow introductions to the first and last uptempo movements, and all include a minuet. All seem intended to please rather than to challenge. Beethoven’s Septet was commissioned by a noble patron for the delectation of his guests, as was Schubert’s Octet.

  • Proton Nmr Spectroscopy
    1H NMR Spectroscopy (#1c) The technique of 1H NMR spectroscopy is central to organic chemistry and other fields involving analysis of organic chemicals, such as forensics and environmental science. It is based on the same principle as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This laboratory exercise reviews the principles of interpreting 1H NMR spectra that you should be learning right now in Chemistry 302. There are four questions you should ask when you are trying to interpret an NMR spectrum. Each of these will be discussed in detail. The Four Questions to Ask While Interpreting Spectra 1. How many different environments are there? The number of peaks or resonances (signals) in the spectrum indicates the number of nonequivalent protons in a molecule. Chemically equivalent protons (magnetically equivalent protons) give the same signal in the NMR whereas nonequivalent protons give different signals. 1 For example, the compounds CH3CH3 and BrCH2CH2Br all have one peak in their H NMR spectra because all of the protons in each molecule are equivalent. The compound below, 1,2- dibromo-2-methylpropane, has two peaks: one at 1.87 ppm (the equivalent CH3’s) and the other at 3.86 ppm (the CH2). 1.87 1.87 ppm CH 3 3.86 ppm Br Br CH3 1.87 ppm 3.86 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 2. How many 1H are in each environment? The relative intensities of the signals indicate the numbers of protons that are responsible for individual signals. The area under each peak is measured in the form of an integral line.

Murphy, Donnacha Dennehy, and other panelists to be announced Oct 1 at 4:30pm Irish Arts Center (553 West 51st Street) Free with RSVP More information at irishartscenter.org Sep 1, 2016/Brooklyn, NY—Rooted in the emotional, political, and socioeconomic devastation of Ireland’s Great Famine (1845-52), The Hunger is a powerful new opera by renowned contemporary composer Donnacha Dennehy, making its New York premiere at BAM on September 30 and October 1. Performed by the chamber band Alarm Will Sound, soprano Katherine Manley, and legendary sean nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird, the libretto principally draws from rare, first-hand accounts by Asenath Nicholson, an American humanitarian so moved by the waves of immigrants arriving in New York that she travelled to Ireland to bear witness, reporting from the cabins of starving families. By integrating historical and new documentary material, the opera provides a unique perspective on a period of major upheaval during which at least one million people died, and another million emigrated—mainly to the US, Canada, and the UK—forever altering the social fabric.

Cornell University,! 2019! ! !This dissertation examines the life and work of Tristan Perich, with a focus on his works for keyboard instruments. Developing an understanding of his creative practices and a familiarity with his aesthetic entails both a review of his personal narrative as well as its intersection with relevant musical, cultural, technological, and generational discourses. This study examines relevant groupings in music, art, and technology articulated to Perich and his body of work including dorkbot and the New Music Community, a term established to describe the generationally-inflected structural shifts! in the field of contemporary music that emerged in New York City in the first several years of the twenty-first century. Perich’s one-bit electronics practice is explored, and its impact on his musical and artistic work is traced across multiple disciplines and a number of aesthetic, theoretical, and technical parameters. This dissertation also substantiates the centrality of the piano to Perich’s compositional process and to his broader aesthetic cosmology. A selection of his works for keyboard instruments are analyzed, and his unique approach to keyboard technique is contextualized in relation to traditional Minimalist piano techniques and his one-bit electronics practice." ! !

This is a rich record filled with things to listen to. Its genius is that it sounds content, like a victorious rallying cry among the band's most eclectic and pleasing sound yet, but still it hides Koenig's uncertainty and desperation. It is almost self-deprecating in a way. Now a grown house-man of sorts, Koenig woke up from the numbness of marriage and realizes he "got married in a gold rush".
