Double and other multiple concertos were quite common in the High Baroque, including lots of examples by Vivaldi and, under his influence, Bach, but the solo concerto dominates the Classical period and beyond, with relatively few notable exceptions—Mozart’s two-piano concerto and sinfonias concertante, Beethoven’s Triple, Brahms’s Double—remaining solidly in today’s orchestral repertoire. This concert’s variety of approaches has as its chronological and stylistic extremes Michael Tippett’s 1939 GER Concerto for Double String Orchestra—one of the composer’s first works of significance— N and the brand-new, up-to-the-moment world premiere of the Double Concerto for Baritone GRAI Saxophone, Percussion, and Orchestra written for BMOP by Pittsburgh-based Mathew CLIVE Rosenblum.

  • 0912 BOX Program Notes
    THE BOX–music by living composers NotaRiotous Microtonal Voices Saturday, September 12, 2009 About the composers and the music Ben Johnston Johnston began as a traditional composer of art music before working with Harry Partch, helping the senior musician to build instruments and use them in the performance and recording of new compositions. After working with Partch, Johnston studied with Darius Milhaud at Mills College. It was, in fact, Partch himself who arranged for Johnston to study with Milhaud. Johnston, beginning in 1959, was also a student of John Cage, who encouraged him to follow his desires and use traditional instruments rather than electronics or newly built ones. Unskilled in carpentry and finding electronics then unreliable, Johnston struggled with how to integrate microtonality and conventional instruments for ten years, and struggled with how to integrate microtones into his compositional language through a slow process of many stages. However, since 1960 Johnston has used, almost exclusively, a system of microtonal notation based on the rational intervals of just intonation. Other works include the orchestral work Quintet for Groups (commissioned by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra), Sonnets of Desolation (commissioned by the Swingle Singers), the opera Carmilla, the Sonata for Microtonal Piano (1964) and the Suite for Microtonal Piano (1977). Johnston has also completed ten string quartets to date. He has received many honors, including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1959, a grant from the National Council on the Arts and Humanities in 1966, and two commissions from the Smithsonian Institution. Johnson taught composition and theory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 1951 to 1986 before retiring to North Carolina.

  • GAO, XIN, D.M.A. Project China: a Resource of Contemporary Saxophone Music Written by Chinese-Born Composers
    GAO, XIN, D.M.A. Project China: A Resource of Contemporary Saxophone Music Written by Chinese-born Composers. (2016) Directed by Dr. Steven Stusek. 122 pp. In recent years, performances of newly composed Chinese music have become more common at national and international saxophone conventions. However, saxophone works by Chinese composers are still rare, and this body of work is largely unfamiliar to Western saxophonists. Moreover, no specialized and compiled reference material exists about these works, making them difficult to find. Chinese saxophone music deserves a higher level of Western exposure both for its high quality and for the skillful use of contemporary saxophone techniques its composers have utilized to express traditional Chinese musical elements. This document is a bibliographic resource that includes contemporary saxophone music written by living Chinese-born composers from 1952 until 2015. The Londeix guide to the saxophone repertoire, 1844–2012 by Jean-Marie Londeix and Bruce Ronkin is used as a model to make it convenient for readers to browse for contemporary Chinese saxophone works. Each entry contains available information, including dedication, program notes, instrumentation, level of difficulty and publication information. My resources for collecting the repertoire and its information include the Londeix guide, programs from major saxophone conferences, and personal networking with the composers. In addition, the essays on selected works offer a stylistic overview of contemporary Chinese saxophone music, giving a basic introduction to readers regarding various compositional styles that exist in this genre, as well as performance suggestions. The ultimate aim of this study is to promote contemporary saxophone music written by Chinese-born composers and to bring these composers and their works to a higher level of Western exposure.
