Piano Concerto No. 2, Movement 2 Here's “All by Myself”

Miss Hendricks’s contact information: from the MUSIC ROOM Phone - (208) 274-4162 Email – [email protected] Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the music activities I sent you. Feel free to contact me with any questions. It’s time for the April Composer of the Month – ta-dah!! Sergei Rachmaninov (Russian Spelling) Born, April 1, 1873 Died, March 28, 1943 No, this is NOT a mug shot. He was called “a six-and-a-half foot tall scowl” by another famous composer, Igor Stravinsky. He wasn’t mean, he just hid his feelings. He was Russian, but moved to America after the Russian Revolution in 1917, where he continued his brilliant career. Of course, SR was a musical genius. Of course, he started playing piano when he was 4 years old (remember Mozart, Bach?). Like them, he was composing major works when he was very young. Rachmaninov’s music is highly emotional (Romantic Period) and is heard all over the world today. His Piano Concerto No. 2, Movement 2 has been used in movies. The pop song “All By Myself,” by Eric Carmen, quotes the melody and harmony almost note for note. (Celine Dion also sang it.) The piano concerto is gorgeous. Check out the YouTube links below and listen to them both for fun. Do you hear how much they sound alike? Piano Concerto No. 2, Movement 2 Played by Rachmaninov himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnqytVlbNL8 Played live by Hélène Grimaud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znlUBaLH2zY Here’s “All By Myself” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbn6o5tiPds&list=RDhbn6o5tiPds&start_radio=1&t=95 Rachmaninov also wrote The Bells – a huge work for choir and orchestra based on the poem by Edgar Allan Poe. I sang it a long time ago in a performance at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. The music had LOTS of bells. I hope you were able to explore the instrument families that I assigned you. I’ll be sending a “quiz” home about it in the 3rd packet. Miss you guys! Miss Hendricks .

Kolokola (The Bells), Op. 35 Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943) Written: 1913 Movements: Four Style: Romantic Duration: 35 minutes Sometimes an anonymous tip pays off. Sergei Rachmaninoff’s friend Mikhail Buknik had a student who seemed particularly excited about something. She had read a Russian translation of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Bells and felt that it simply had to be set to music. Buknik recounted what happened next: She wrote anonymously to her idol [Rachmaninoff], suggesting that he read the poem and compose it as music. summer passed, and then in the autumn she came back to Moscow for her studies. What had now happened was that she read a newspaper item that Rachmaninoff had composed an outstanding choral symphony based on Poe's Bells and it was soon to be performed. Danilova was mad with joy. Edgar Allen Poe (1809–1849) wrote The Bells a year before he died. It is in four verses, each one highly onomatopoeic (a word sounds like what it means). In it Poe takes the reader on a journey from “the nimbleness of youth to the pain of age.” The Russian poet Konstantin Dmitriyevich Balmont (1867–1942) translated Poe’s The Bells and inserted lines here and there to reinforce his own interpretation. Rachmaninoff conceived of The Bells as a sort of four-movement “choral-symphony.” The first movement evokes the sound of silver bells on a sleigh, a symbol of birth and youth. Even in this joyous movement, Balmont’s verse has an ominous cloud: “Births and lives beyond all number/Waits a universal slumber—deep and sweet past all compare.” The golden bells in the slow second movement are about marriage.

WHO'S WHO IN A&R AT MILLENNIUM JIMMY IENNER: President Jimmy began singing professionally in New York at age 11 and by the time he was sixteen he had been on too many hit records to count. He also paid some dues . "We played at a Kelso gas station after driving 522 miles expecting to find a school, and what's more, when we went back to the Brill Building that Monday, the guy who set up the deal didn't exist... there was a desk and no person; Or then there was a time I had to pump gas all night to earn enough money to drive back from our gig . ." Jimmy was also an athlete . "It got very confusing because I'd be on the football field thinking about what songs we were gonna do in what sequence that night and I'd be on stage going into a three point stance. I went to a major football college one year on a scholarship and those guys were serious! Also I have a very ethnic background, being from New York, and no matter where the play was, I was getting hit... I said wait a minute, time, I don't look like a ball ... it was called get the guy with the big nose and don't forget those teeth." It's interesting to note that by the age of 16,1 en ner was the youngest executive in music publishing at Peer- Southern Music ...

Evans Center for Counseling and Family Studies Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling This phenomenological inquiry investigated the loneliness experienced by recovering alcoholics. Select participants responded to open-ended interview questions pertaining to their experience of loneliness as well as its impact on their lives. Moreover, participants were asked to indentify what factor or factors may have contributed to the onset or persistence of their loneliness. Phenomenological analysis of the data revealed that loneliness, as experienced by recovering alcoholics, is a recursive experience that is co-morbid with a number of debilitating affects. Therefore, the loneliness that was experienced during recovery represented just one part of a combination of painful affective experiences.

Girl in Red - Serotonin Episode 208
Song Exploder girl in red - Serotonin Episode 208 Hrishikesh: You’re listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made. My name is Hrishikesh Hirway. Before this episode starts, I want to let you know that there is some frank discussion of mental health issues, including panic attacks, medical fears and thoughts of self-harm. There’s also some explicit language. (“Serotonin” by GIRL IN RED) Hrishikesh: Marie Ulven is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Norway, who makes music under the name, girl in red. She just released her debut album in April 2021, but she’s already got a lot of fans and she’s gotten a lot of critical acclaim from two EPs and singles that she’s released online, including a couple of songs that went gold. The New York Times included her work in their best songs of the year in both 2018 and 2019. Last year she was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Norwegian Grammys, and this year she won their award International Success of the Year. “Do you listen to girl in red?” has also become code on TikTok, a sort of shibboleth, to ask if someone’s a lesbian. In this episode, Marie breaks down the song “Serotonin,” a song that started as a video she posted to her own TikTok in the early days of lockdown in 2020. You’ll hear the original version she recorded on her own, before she started working with producer Matias Téllez, and later, with Grammy-winning artist and producer Finneas O’Connell, who helped ﬁnish the song.

Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2016 APPROVED: Mark Ford, Major Professor Joseph Klein, Relative Field Professor David Bard-Schwarz, Committee Member Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies and Dean of the College of Music Douglass, Mark Samuel. Orchestra Bells as a Chamber and Solo Instrument: A Survey of Works by Steve Reich, Morton Feldman, Franco Donatoni, Robert Morris, Marta Ptaszyńska, Will Ogdon, Stuart Saunders Smith, Lafayette Gilchrist and Roscoe Mitchell. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2016, 96 pp., 73 musical examples, 11 figures, references, 59 titles. This dissertation considers the use of orchestra bells as a solo instrument. I use three examples taken from chamber literature (Drumming by Steve Reich, Why Patterns? by Morton Feldman, and Ave by Franco Donatoni) to demonstrate uses of the instrument in an ensemble setting. I use six solo, unaccompanied orchestra bell pieces (Twelve Bell Canons by Robert Morris, Katarynka by Marta Ptaszyńska, Over by Stuart Saunders Smith, A Little Suite and an Encore Tango by Will Ogdon, Breaks Through by Lafayette Gilchrist, and Bells for New Orleans by Roscoe Mitchell) to illustrate the instrument’s expressive, communicative ability. In the discussion of each piece, I include brief background information, the composer’s m usical language in the piece and performance considerations. I interviewed composers of these solo works to complete the research for this document to discuss their musical language and their thoughts on writing for solo orchestra bells.
