DEMAGOGUE UNSEATMENT CELEBRATION MARCH for military band Op. 110

I have not used Sibelius with a keyboard since it has pretty good playback capabilities built into it. Listen to this, for example: https://soundcloud.com/gary-noland/demagogue-unseatment-celebration-march-for-military-band-op-110

ACCESS OF OIL for French horn, violin, cello, percussion & piano Op. 114

20 COVIDITTIES Op. 116—composed amidst suffocating smoke, impending conflagrations, destructive riots, politico-ideological turmoil, all whilst in the throes of a pernicious global pandemic.

I have a Yamaha Montage, which I started using in the summer but not in conjunction with Sibelius. As far as I know, virtually any MIDI keyboard ought to work with Sibelius. I haven’t tried it myself but I believe you shouldn’t have any problems with it. To be safe, ask the people at Sibelius and/or at Yamaha to recommend the right configurations. Best of luck with your new toys!

A musical memoir of 2020, this brand new double CD makes the perfect Xmas stocking stuffer! I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF MY BRAND NEW DOUBLE CD: 20 COVIDITTIES Op. 116—composed amidst suffocating smoke, impending conflagrations, destructive riots, politico-ideological turmoil, all whilst in the throes of a pernicious global pandemic. Available for purchase on Amazon. “… a most important work … molted out of a neo-romanticism into a completely postmodern reduction of elements (ad absurdum) … Sometimes that romanticism … provides a frame or narrative on which [Noland] builds around or elaborates other layers. This is a multi-tiered music … the tonal works providing the frame are exquisite in their own right … the Chopin/Strauss element seems to reflect the old bourgeoisie under attack from the culture that has arisen since … its deliberately loving, saccharine poesy seems unmoved … love and fine taste exist wherever the appoggiatura stabs the heart … impressive series … a highly sophisticated sonic cartoon …”—ERNESTO FERRERI, American composer

RAND NEW PIECE: ORLAN DOY GLANDLY conducts members of THE PROCRASTURBATION ENSEMBLE in a performance of GERTY MACDOWELL’S DRAWERS by GARY LLOYD NOLAND.

GERTY MACDOWELL’S DRAWERS

In the Neighborhood — NACUSA 2021 Virtual New Music Festival / Conference

I am pleased to share this riveting performance by soprano Anna Haagenson and pianist Stephanie Thompson of the world premiere of my setting of Alexander Theroux’s poem “The Cabaret of Theresienstadt” (at 121:14), which was presented at the NACUSA 2021 Virtual New Music Festival on 18 April. This conference had originally been scheduled to take place in March, 2020 but was cancelled in the last minute due to the unfolding COVID crisis. I set ten poems of A. Theroux’s which I’ve been anxiously awaiting to hear performed (including one large choral setting for SATB, oboe, horn, bass & timpani). It is gratifying to finally hear this song interpreted by sensitive musicians. More performances of my Theroux settings are forthcoming. Anyone who is interesting in following the score may access it from my website in the “Scores 1” menu.

Introducing Gary Noland’s Music

I have known Gary Noland since high school. He is a very talented composer, piano player, and cartoonist who lives in Portland. His music is eclectic with a snarky sarcastic tone to it, somewhat like listening to Frank Zappa’s classical music scores. His cartoons are very Robert Crumpian in spirit. Take a listen and let me know what you think.

Introducing Gary Noland’s Music

Composergarynoland – Composition Lessons, Music, Piano

GARY LLOYD NOLAND CHALLENGES MUSICAL CONVENTIONS, TRADITIONS, AND CUSTOMS

The distinction between music and noise is, I think, perfectly described by Physics.info. “Music and noise are both mixture

the music of sound waves of different frequencies. The component frequencies of music are discrete, separable, and rational, with a discernible dominant frequency. The component frequencies of noise are continuous and random with no discernible dominant frequency.” Hence, the further we delve into dissonant or even atonal music, the more likely it is to be perceived as noise. Ultimately the line between the two is very blurry, and writer Meghan Davis took this concept to task smartly, when she wrote: “Someone nearby is tapping their toe. Is this an irritating noise or a musical sound? As it turns out, the difference depends almost entirely upon the listener.” And that ultimately is the point, my friends. The beauty of sound is in the ears of the beholder.

So why this long premise on sonic contrasts? Well, when you engage with the music of an avant-garde composer, and dare I say, sound designer, such as Gary Lloyd Noland, there is no sitting on the fence. You either judge his album, “State-of-the-Art Ear Exercises for Musical Cognoscenti Op. 119”, as ingeniously brilliant, or utter hogwash. If this hard and fast assumption sounds dramatically drastic, well then so does Noland’s classically inspired, post-modern sonic concoctions.

Gary Noland has boundless artistic spirit

Gary Lloyd Noland, who has received glowing critiques, has a boundless artistic spirit, and a seemingly endless technical and musical ambition. His compositions strive to challenge the listener to cast away conventions, traditions, customs, and any formal limitations their musical mindsets may have locked them into. The 18 tracks contained within this album will take you through sounds composed of multiple frequencies that are produced by instruments whose names alone will have your mind twisting into a loop.

Your ears will be teased, stroked, stretched, and surprised, by the featured players – Gary Lloyd Noland and his alter-egos: Orland Doy Gladly, Darnalod Olly Yang, Lon Gaylord Dylan, Dolly Gray Landon, and Arnold Day Longly. Even more surprising, are the names of the instrumentation used by the players. Among them, the pandaharmonium, squealharp, googah, unstitched concussion, stench horn, nose cello, and toilet brushes.

Now if you’re thinking of, outright dissonant bombast, think again. Because the album is awash with beautiful classical motifs filled with luscious melody and harmony. They’re simply interposed by varying flurries of atonal sounds which most people link to dissonance. If you could imagine an ensemble led by the combined minds of Richard Strauss, Frank Zappa, Brain Eno, and Luigi Russolo, you may just have the slightest idea of where Gary Lloyd Noland is going. And that’s practically everywhere.

Even the song titles themselves will make you sit up and take notice: “Murder Hornet Lullaby”, “Vaginavenger Vortex”, “Elevator Mucus”, “Only Drooly Grubbles” and “Larcabounger Zizz”, being just a selected few. That being said, Gary Lloyd Noland’s endearing eccentricities only really seem far more subversive to those stuck in the conventions of the mainstream jungle.

Warped Musical Sensibilities

Though Noland’s appeal comes from his warped musical sensibilities; most of the melodies and core structures contained within the album are fairly accessible, reflecting an alluring fondness for classical music. It’s just that his arrangements are far more unusual and idiosyncratic than your normal or garden variety of music. The infusion of Noland’s avant-garde sensibility and experimental spirit makes for a fascinating combination, and very much is, what sets him apart everyone else. And I mean, EVERYONE else.

This album is literally packed with ideas and sounds, as Gary Lloyd Noland ventures into a different avenue with every track. The instrumentals have distinctive identities, and they’re extremely palatable in even in their most unusual forms. In 2021, you will definitely find fewer challenging albums, and maybe even more challenging albums, but you will never find anything quite like “State-of-the-Art Ear Exercises for Musical Cognoscenti Op. 119” anywhere else on this planet…maybe even in the entire universe for that matter!

More REVIEWS

“Gary Noland is one of those 21st Century composers seeking to forge a new aesthetic based on older models that do not traffic in serialism or minimalism. These dry, playful pieces pay homage to classical forms from various periods while gently satirizing them. Zany waltzes, ragtime riffs, chorales, toccatas, and much else romp and tear through these depictions of superheroes and villains from his ‘chamber novels’; other pieces spoof serial music (‘Ventured, nothing gained’) to grand operas (‘Meditative’) and Jewish guilt (‘Spikes’). The irreverent program closes with two serious, impressive, endlessly modulating memorials: one to George Rothberg, an allusive homage to an important neo-romantic who was himself a master of allusion; another to Jon Sutton, an artist Noland feels was wrongfully neglected by a corporate culture that promotes dreck and mediocrity, making it ‘possible to have a Brahms or Schubert next door and not even realize it. This is a culture that ‘confers towering soapboxes to impostors of all persuasions, all too often to the exclusion of first-rate minds who are less savvy about how to work the system to their advantage’.

North Pacific Music

Smaller labels like North Pacific Music represent a new way of working that system, a small means of saving what Noland regards as ‘an endangered (and fast becoming extinct) high culture’. I could do without the ugly cover art, but the piano sound is extremely vivid—and Noland plays his work with wit and conviction.”

—Jack Sullivan, American Record Guide, July/August 2007

“We recently received a CD [Royal Oil works Music] of Gary Noland’s here at WOBC. I must say that upon previewing some of the tracks and reading the program notes that all of us have never laughed so hard in our lives. We usually don’t play music as arrogant and docile as Gary’s but the ironic-postmodern-naive-pretension that this CD showed made me reconsider. I would like to get in touch with M. Noland and arrange a telephone interview for one of our classical radio shows.”

—Joshua Morris, Classical Director, WOBC 91.5 FM, Oberlin, OH

“Gary Noland is a composer to end all composers

… his attitude is not subtly disestablishmentarian, and you’d better enjoy it.… Some of the sounds are amusing, but the music is sort of deliberately annoying, both in sonority and in the mood—deliberately uninspired, almost to the point of inspiration. From Bach to rags to whatever, Noland seems determined to annoy as many people as he can, in an amusing way. He is an angry guy but witty.

If the idea of deliberate lack of originality purveyed in an atmosphere of political incorrectness appeals to you, here, in no uncertain terms, it is. Titles such as ‘Spray Taint’, ‘Dog Duo’, and ‘Insurrection of the Office Slaves’ give the mood, while the title tune [‘Royal Oil works Music’] is the real purpose of the Bush administration, as explained in the notes.…”

—David Moore, American Record Guide

Seriously Odd Classical Tongue in Check Electro-Acoustic

“Seriously odd classical… Tongue-in-cheek electro-acoustic combines baroque harpsichord and cheesy electronic sounds. Funny like Satie is funny – zany and irreverent. Lots of serialism … but the bizarre collage of styles and periods is brilliant. Oh, it’s also like PDQ Bach/Peter Schickele in some ways. Absurd liner notes! Baroque-sounding … Serialist electro-acoustic … very refreshing, given how “ivory tower” this type of music often is. Cheesy synths, electronic percussion, and trumpets … up tempo and funky. Baroque harpsichord with pop and world music sounds going on in off-kilter, almost random rhythms. WTF? Very cool …Waa Waa synth, fugue-like … Zany … Cecil Taylor piano over drum machine breakbeats … Close to Dual (Ed Chang and Doug Theriault – crazy dense guitar and laptop processing), with national anthem-like moments?? And bird song?? Zany … Slow serialist/romantic … prelude to baroque trills to Richian/rag arpeggios to a Chopin breakdown to a jazz ending. Phew. This rocks … Bogy woozy synth with jazz percussion and serialist randomness. Lots of noodling, er, electronic wanking? Upbeat … Staccato baroque fugue on electronic choral sounds and pipe organ sounds … funny … Rhythmically interesting … Fugue for harpsichord … Some free jazz freak-outs … Great title for this … Squeaky sounds with sax and choral synthesizer—like if you played the Handel theme from the film A Clockwork Orange, Sonny Rollins, Tchaikovsky, and, well, a psychotic serialist all at once.”

—KZSU FM90.3, Stanford, CA

“A look at the head-note will alert you to Gary Noland’s very personal way with words. Not for Noland the lures either of Olympian detachment or lower case “significance.” No, Noland is full-on and takes few linguistic prisoners. Similarly with the booklet artwork, Noland’s own, which is an example of crazed Robert Crumb à Africanize. And his music is much the same, Deformed Fugue, his 1977 piece for harpsichord summoning up pretty nicely his compositional stance. This is an elixir brewed of Couperin and Rameau, Scott Joplin, Bach, free funk, free Jazz (Cecil Taylor?), the Fugue, and an unholy alliance of straight sounding neo-classicism and its subsequent assault by the forces of percussive militancy.

Noland may be a romantic but doesn’t want you to know.

His Prelude is baroque-convincing though attended by some sour-is off notes he follows it with Serial Lullaby, a synthesizer-rich free funk piece that mocks its title. Spray Taint gives us assaulted baroque, the percussion blizzards full of jazz offbeat and whoop-bang noises (plus telephone rings and disco inferno). He subjects Ragtime to the same souring procedures as he does to his off-note harpsichord baroque and evokes a drugs fix (in My Babe’s Gone Down to Do Her Glue) with some haywire free form. He writes an American fanfare for the title track and subjects it to anti-Bush assault by bird song and drum blister.

Quixiotic Sense

His quixotic sense extends to opus numbers – the bowels of Op. 80 are scattered throughout the disc, and to instrumentation as well. I assume he makes all the noises, both pianistic and harpsichord synthesized and vocalized. He’s a veritable one-man band of off-kilter influences, the procedural repetition of which sometimes got me seriously down, though I did like his Swingle Sisters take-off on Music is Dead: A Paradox in Fugue.”

REVIEWS/ENCOMIUMS

“As usual I have been fiendishly busy and during my last absence, our humidification system went bonkers, depositing condensation and mold all over the place so now I am trying to deal with that on top of my overload. Nonetheless, I have put on the postludes whenever I’ve been at the computer and found them up to your usual iconoclastic, stylistic potpourri standards of giddy humor, no holds barred soup to nuts and high spirits. They are balm to the grim state of mind in which I find myself.”

—Robert Levin, pianist (cadenza improviser extraordinaire), scholar, Professor of Music, Harvard University

“Many thanks for the CDs you sent me, which I have been listening to with great pleasure and fascination.… I am bowled over by the expertise of your music: you use certain elements from the 19th century and jazz, etc., and just at the moment when I am about to say, OK, what else is new? you do several things, such as speeding up, becoming wildly dissonant, modulating to a distant continent, stopping completely, and throwing some kind of total surprise. All of these things are possible, but you seem to know exactly when to do what and how much. I don’t know anybody else who can do it! And the brief electronic statements are spooky in the best and most extreme sense. They make my hair (what’s left of it) stand on end.…”

—Andrew Imbrue, composer, Pulitzer Prize finalist

“Mr. Noland’s Postludes are a collection of wild and crazy pieces for … piano. These are essentially parodying of various styles, set in a dizzying harmonic language that loops uncontrollably through a wide-ranging gamut of possible and impossible tonalities. He applies this procedure to the fugue, ragtime, German dances (Schubert), romantic waltzes (Richard Strauss seems to be a favorite), and virtuosic piano scherzos. There’s a Chinese polonaise, a whiff of pentatonic Debussy; and, like most composers after Berlioz, he can’t seem to keep his hands off the Dies Irae (though fortunately, the tongue is firmly in cheek). Both Peter Schickele and Conlon Nan arrow hover over the proceedings. I’d even throw in Mark Applebaum, another Californian … The opening fugue is dedicated to the late David Lewin, the prominent Harvard theorist. Lukas Foss gets a dedication, also (maybe his Baroque Variations had some sort of influence on Noland at some point).

The general effect is like watching wet paintings of 19th Century musical memorabilia drip into frazzled 21st Century oblivion. The comic-book grotesquerie that graces the jewel box pretty much says it all … these pieces are striking and entertaining … (Postlude 12, an interminable exercise in blues montage, is the most daunting.) The pieces all have funny titles … Mustaches on the Mona Lisa, but those can be interesting if you’re in the right frame of mind.”

—Allen Gimbel, American Record Guide

“Composer and pianist Gary Noland are into ‘ha-ha music’—that is, classical music played for laughs, a genre famously (or infamously, depending on your taste in humor) popularized by Peter Schickele, also known as P.D.Q. Bach. This collection of solo piano music, identified as postludes rather than the more traditional preludes designation, indicates that, despite occasionally forcing the musical jokes (and writing far too many tortured puns in his liner notes), Noland has both the writing and playing chops to compensate for his painful musical humor. Dedicated to the late music theorist David Lewin, ‘Philomathetique’ is a witty trope on the music of Richard Strauss, with characterful motives and abundant quick modulations. ‘Effete Singulations’ is a deft, splashy bit of ragtime, while ‘Pickthanks and Premediates’ is a light-hearted romp played at a dizzying tempo and ‘Psychonipptions’ (dedicated to composer Henry Martin) is a send-up of 20th Century French music. Overall, Postludes is a mixed bag, but when Noland focuses on playing the piano well rather than simply playing for laughs, his compelling artistry shines through.”

—Christian Carey, Splendid Magazine

“Gary—you continue to be one of the most original of the contributors to ‘The Classical Salon.’ And ‘Effete Singulations’ [Postlude #2] opens one of my ragtime shows.”

—David Rifkin, Host, “Classical Salon” and “The Ragtime Machine,” KUSF 90.3 FM, University of San Francisco.

24 Interludes for piano, Vol. 1

“… intriguing, irritating, … distinctive, inventive, … subversive, … [the music] is never what you expect. You hear all sorts of styles and influences—Beethoven, ragtime, Nan arrow, stride—often in very quick succession.… I had the strange feeling with many of these pieces [Interludes and Postludes] that, about halfway through, I had got fed up with them, but I was then sorry when they finished.… You can hardly be indifferent to Noland’s music and so I would urge you to try it. Despite my frequent irritation, I will certainly be returning to it and seeking out examples of Noland’s chamber works and multimedia compositions. Music aside, speaking as a cat-lover, I feel an instinctive sympathy with the composer depicted on the front cover of the Interludes fondly embracing his cat. Illogical? Well, yes; I think this music has got to me after all.”

“Gary Noland, a composer, and pianist with an impressive academic pedigree (including a Ph.D. from Harvard) and extensive performing experience, here presents an album of solo piano compositions, or ‘interludes.’ Actually, some of these pieces seem in no way transitory; instead, they present extended musical dialogues that call upon a host of musical styles and require the considerable technical facility to perform. Noland, a fleet-fingered, ebullient performer, is more than up to the task. Pastiche pieces like ‘Mumbo Gumbo’ and ‘Expresso Wagon’ evoke all manner of Romantic-era classical piano figurations; they gently lampoon some of the genre’s conventions, but always remain bright, witty, and engaging. ‘The Temptation of Saint Floyd’ also channels Romanticism, particularly the Strassman sort, demonstrating a more reflective demeanor and adding a dollop of schmaltz to the proceedings. ‘Push Button Fingers’ is prevailingly modern in construction, with syncopated rhythms and sprightly, angular runs creating a far more contemporary sound world. Noland’s work may be eclectic—sometimes even a bit goofy—but Interludes is cleverly constructed and consistently well performed.”

—Christian Carey, Splendid Magazine, 12/29/2005

“Mr. Noland writes as a ‘time traveler’ in styles long abandoned by most composers as well as styles so new as to not have been imagined but by him. This he accomplishes naturally, convincingly, with originality and true passion. His command of all musical languages and his ability to traverse musical time is nothing less than remarkable. Listen!”

—Donald Martino, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer

“Composer Gary Noland is possessed of a rich musical imagination, whose technique distills the achievements of Roger, Strauss, and Schoenberg but also refracts their post-romantic/expressionist tendencies through the lens of twenty-first-century post-modernism, American style. Moreover, he fits Stravinsky’s definition of a great composer: one who doesn’t merely steal but knows what to steal. This Noland does with wit and aplomb unique to the music of our time.”

—Ira Braes, pianist, musicologist, Professor of Music, The Hart School

“Gary Noland’s Venge Art is more than just a collection of music.…inspiring. He walks with assurance through the treacherous landscape of late tonality and early post-tonality (e.g., Strauss).…a gifted composer.”

Payton MacDonald—American Record Guide

Introducing Gary Noland’s Music

Hello Everyone!

I hope all of you are well.

2022 Journal

I kept track of music played, and listened to from 2010 to 2022. I have re-activated this journal as I have resumed playing the piano daily and hope to resume writing music in 2023.

my first love has always been music. In fact, I wanted to be a composer and went to Oberlin for one semester and flunked out ending my music career. Over the years I have played the piano and wrote music from time to time. I also assembled a monster play list which I play daily.

I have eclectic tastes in music, the only thing I don’t like is most country, and hard core gangsta rap (mainly because I hate the violence and the misogynistic lyrics – the only thing I agree with conservatives , popular music is too sexist, violent and crude and that is not a good thing for society.

my favorite bands are Tower of Power, the Rolling Stones, Frank Zappa and classic blues.

Music Played

Goals: to record daily music played, listened to, and composed. Post at end of the year.

I bought a Roland Piano and will resume daily piano playing and in January writing music which I will post online. Will update daily as needed.

Started a new sub-journal called Music played where I will keep track of my piano practice, music compositions and download and music listened to. Started a new project – Playing through Bach Well Tempered Clavier then on to Mozart and Beethoven Sonatas, followed by finally finishing the Robert Schuman album. Should take me through the fall. If I do this consistently, an hour here and an hour there I can become a fairly decent piano player. Next summer I will wow Tom and Roger by how good I have become. And I need to buy some new music once I get to the States. We are going to upgrade to a full Rhodes state of the art piano and music software package. In the meantime I am also going to reinstall my allegro, upgrade on line and really get back into writing music.

Goal for 2015

Buy new piano and new software by June

One hour per day playing the piano

start with Bach inventions

then do Mozart, Schuman and Beethoven

mix in with jazz standards

For each piece play each hand separately

then put together and play each piece twice in one setting

and improvisation nightly

and re-start writing music

Finish downloading CD collection by June donate to Library

Translate William Defluri’s You Tubes into itune friendly formats

Once a month hit the library for additional fresh tunes

goal is 10,000 tunes by end of the year, then add 1,000 per year

EARLIER ON HUFFPOST:

2013

2013

Goal for 2013

One hour per day playing the piano

start with Bach inventions

then do Mozart, Schuman and Beethoven

mix in with jazz standards

For each piece play each hand separately

then put together and play each piece twice in one setting

and improvisation nightly

and re-start writing music

Finish downloading CD collection

Translate William Defluri’s You Tubes into itune friendly formats

Once a month hit the library for additional fresh tunes

goal is 10,000 tunes by end of the year, then add 1,000 per year

New plan for music June 2013

Buy Piano from Guitar Center

For each piece of music, I will do some pre-playing and analysis. I will mark it up with cheat sheets indicating notes that are below or above the cleft (helping me read those notes better), highlighting cord changes and key changes, and noting repeat instructions. Once I understand the harmonics, and structure and notes of the piece, then I will play it one time left hand, one time right hand, then together. So for new pieces it will take me one hour per piece, and half hour for less complicated pieces. Will also plan on one hour sessions – first 20 minute piano lesion from Piano Handbook, later Jazz piano lesion, eventually buying new harmony books. Then play one to two pieces per day, one jazz pop song, one classic starting with finally finishing Schuman, then move onto Bach, and Mozart. Goal is over next few years play Mozart, Beethoven and Chopan as well as Jazz standards and blues including teaching myself how to play Jazz. Play every other day and on weekend spent two hours writing music , starting with learning the software, then picking my old music and re-writing things. I really want to finally master the piano and music writing as a hobby along with my creative writing pursuits.

Note: Need to find list of key signatures and mark each song I play with the correct key signature before playing it. Double check harmony book (I think I still have it or Orchestration book)

August 22

Burgmuller Ararbesque

Pastorale

Music listened to (update daily)

Queen

Herbie Hancock

Beethoven chamber music for flute

Songsa play list summer music

songsta play list reggae morning mix

Update on strategy

Will cycle through Piano Handbook first for lesion, then Winston Piano Solos, Classical Music selection book, and top 100 music until fall

Play one to four songs per session

Each song pre-plan – look at notes add cheat sheets, review repeat strategy, chord progression

Review and note key changes (need to download key charts) memorize finally keys signatures

And experiment with different settings for each song played to master orchestration possibility

Study harmony books, orchestration books as well

Then start Mozart book, Blues standards, Jazz harmony book and Piano handbook

And try improvising Jazz songs as well

And write own music two hours every weekend

Goal one hour per day playing/writing music

Update:

started new book Easy Classics book – nice to start with easier pieces working on developing basic piano skills, sight reading and better rythim control. Once I finish i will move on to the top 100 classics plus my other classic book. That should do me until the fall when I hope to conquer Mozart and get back to plan listed above. Felt I needed to start with the basis and build my skills through daily practice.

2010

Started a new sub-journal called Music played where I will keep track of my piano practice, and music compositions and download and music listened to. Started a new project – Playing through Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier then on to Mozart and Beethoven Sonatas, followed by finally finishing the Robert Schuman album. Should take me through the fall. If I do this consistently, an hour here and an hour there I can become a fairly decent piano player. Next summer I will wow Tom and Roger with how good I have become. And I need to buy some new music once I get to the States. We are going to upgrade to a full Rhodes state-of-the-art piano and music software package. In the meantime, I am also going to reinstall my allegro, upgrade online and get back into writing music.

Music Played

8-15 comments:

played two more Bach pieces, Prelude number 4 and Fugue number 4, and prelude 5 and fugue number 5. I am finding that playing Bach has helped improved my Piano playing skills. After I finish playing Bach I will work on playing Mozart and then tackle Beethoven. By the time I finish that I will be a pretty decent player, and hopefully graduate to a Rhodes Piano with some new music thrown in.

Top 10 Symphonies You Should Own

By Aaron Green, About.com Guide

Want to start a symphony collection, but don’t know where to begin? Are you looking to expand upon what you already have? This list of symphonies will provide you with a variety of musical styles upon which to build or add to your symphony collection.

Mahler Symphony No. 9 in D Major

If you’ve never heard Mahler’s Symphony No. 9, grab a blanket, sit by the fire, and melt into the lush orchestration Mahler so masterfully created. Mahler wrote this symphony knowing that the end of his life was near. Some believe the fourth movement represents the five psychological stages of death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Mahler undoubtedly fits the romantic style to the “t”; heart-wrenching tension followed by ever-so-sweet resolve. Learn more about the life of Mahler in this Mahler profile.

Haydn Symphony No. 34 in d minor

One of Haydn’s lesser-known works, this flawless piece from the classical period is perfectly balanced with emotion and art. The first movement melodies float above rivers of low tones. The upbeat rhythms of the second movement are sure to make you dance; it’s any Haydn lover’s “pop” music. The third movement menuetto brings images of courtly balls and high tea. The final movement expertly brings closure to the symphony and sends the audience home happy and content. Learn more about Haydn in this Haydn profile.

Beethoven Symphony No. 5 in c minor

Although a bit overplayed, something this good should not be excluded. Everyone knows the first movement when they hear it, as for the following movements, that’s another story. The second movement is not as “heavy” as the first making it an excellent relief without losing its harmonic brilliance. The third movement includes similar rhythmic patterns as the first which creates continuity. The triumphant orchestration in the forth movement concludes the symphony in absolute victory.

Music Journal

Started a new sub-journal called Music played where I will keep track of my piano practice, and music compositions and download and music listened to. Started a new project – Playing through Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier then on to Mozart and Beethoven Sonatas, followed by finally finishing the Robert Schuman album. Should take me through the fall. If I do this consistently, an hour here and an hour there I can become a fairly decent piano player. Next summer I will wow Tom and Roger with how good I have become. And I need to buy some new music once I get to the States. We are going to upgrade to a full Rhodes state-of-the-art piano and music software package. In the meantime, I am also going to reinstall my allegro, upgrade online and get back into writing music.

Goal for 2012

One hour per day playing the piano

start with Bach’s inventions

then do Mozart, Schuman, and Beethoven

mix in with jazz standards

For each piece play each hand separately

then put together and play each piece twice in one setting

and improvisation nightly

and re-start writing music

Finish downloading the CD collection

Translate William Defluri’s You Tubes into iTunes-friendly formats

Once a month hit the library for additional fresh tunes

the goal is 10,000 tunes by end of the year, then add 1,000 per year

Mahler Symphony No. 9 in D Major

If you’ve never heard Mahler’s Symphony No. 9, grab a blanket, sit by the fire, and melt into the lush orchestration Mahler so masterfully created. Mahler wrote this symphony knowing that the end of his life was near. Some believe the fourth movement represents the five psychological stages of death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Mahler undoubtedly fits the romantic style to the “t”; heart-wrenching tension followed by ever-so-sweet resolve. Learn more about the life of Mahler in this Mahler profile.

Born:

May 7, 1860 – Kaliste, Bohemia

Died:

May 18, 1911 – Vienna

Mahler Quick Facts:

In 1960, Mahler’s rediscovered music became widely popular among the younger crowd whose experimentation and beliefs matched the intensity and passion of his music. During the ’70s his symphonies were most performed and recorded.

Mahler wrote six love poems, four of which he used in his song cycle Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen after an affair with soprano, Johanna Richter.

Mahler always sought to ‘out-do’ himself with his next concert program; his performances were known to be spectacular.

Mahler’s Family Background:

Mahler was the oldest of six out of fourteen surviving children. His father, Bernhard, was a tavern proprietor and his mother, Marie, was the daughter of a soap maker. Shortly after Mahler was born, he and his parents moved to Iglau, Moravia. His father was able to open a successful tavern and brewery which allowed him to support Mahler’s musical ambitions.

Childhood:

Because Mahler lived close to the town square where frequent concerts were given by the military band, he developed a taste for music at a very early age. He learned various songs from Catholic school friends and received lessons from local musicians. It wasn’t long after his father purchased the piano that Mahler became proficient at playing it.

Teenage Years:

As a result of Mahler’s “not-so-good” grades in school, his father sent him to audition at the Vienna Conservatory. Mahler was accepted in 1875 under Julius Epstein with whom he studied piano. While in music school, Mahler quickly turned to composition as his primary study. In 1877, Mahler enrolled in Vienna University where he became interested in great literary works and philosophy.

Early Adult Years :

At the young age of 21, Mahler received a conduction job in the Landestheater in Laibach. He conducted over 50 pieces including his first opera Il Trovatore. In 1883, Mahler moved to Kassel, signed a contract, and worked several years as ‘Royal Musical and Choral Director’ – it may have been a fancy title, but he still had to report to the resident Kapellmeister. From 1885-91, Mahler worked in Leipzig, Prague, and Budapest.

Mid-Adult Years:

In March of 1891, Mahler became chief conductor at the Hamburg Stadttheater. While in Hamburg, Mahler finally finished his second symphony in 1895. Also, in the same year, Mahler’s younger brother shot himself. Since his parents had died several years before, Mahler became the head of the household. To protect his younger sisters, he moved them to Hamburg to live with him.

Late Adult Years:

Mahler moved to Vienna and became the Kapellmeister of the acclaimed Vienna Philharmonic. Several months later he was promoted to director. As the new director at the Hofoper Theater, his daring, provocative, and controversial performances attracted great numbers to the theater and many press reviews. In 1907 and 1910, Mahler conducted the New York Philharmonic and Symphony Orchestra. A year later, after returning to Vienna, Mahler died from bacterial endocarditis.

Haydn Symphony No. 34 in d minor

One of Haydn’s lesser-known works, this flawless piece from the classical period is perfectly balanced with emotion and art. The first movement melodies float above rivers of low tones. The upbeat rhythms of the second movement are sure to make you dance; it’s any Haydn lover’s “pop” music. The third movement menuetto brings images of courtly balls and high tea. The final movement expertly brings closure to the symphony and sends the audience home happy and content. Learn more about Haydn in this Haydn profile.

Born:

March 31, 1732 – Rohrau, Austria

Died:

May 31, 1809 – Vienna

Haydn Quick Facts:

Haydn and Mozart were friends. They respected each other’s music and occasionally invited one another to their performances.

Haydn composed 104 symphonies!

Unlike Wagner, Haydn was warm and heartfelt. He was caring, loving, extremely intelligent, and very well-controlled.

Haydn’s Family Background:

Haydn was one of three boys born to Mathias Haydn and Anna Maria Koller. His father was a master wheelwright who loved music. He played the harp, while Haydn’s mother sang the melodies. Anna Maria was a cook for Count Karl Anton Harrach before she married Mathias. Haydn’s brother, Michael, also composed music and became relatively famous. His youngest brother, Johann Evangelist, sang tenor in the church choir of the Esterhazy Court.

Childhood:

Haydn had a spectacular voice and his musicality was precise. Johann Franc, impressed by Haydn’s voice, insisted that Haydn’s parents allow Haydn to living with him to study music. Franc was a school principal and the choir director of a church in Hainburg. Haydn’s parents allowed him to go in hopes that he would amount to something very special. Haydn studied mostly music, but also Latin, writing, arithmetic, and religion. Haydn spent most of his childhood singing in church choirs.

Teenage Years:

Haydn trained his younger brother Michael when he joined the choir school three years later; it was customary for the older choirboys to instruct the younger ones. Although great Haydn’s voice was, he lost it when he went through puberty. Michael, who also had a beautiful voice, received the attention Haydn was used to getting. Haydn was dismissed from school when he was 18.

Early Adult Years:

Haydn earned a living by becoming a freelance musician, teaching music, and composing. His first steady job came in 1757 when he was hired as music director for Count Morzin. His name and compositions steadily became recognizable. During his time with Count Morzin, Haydn wrote 15 symphonies, concertos, piano sonatas, and possibly string quartets op.2, nos. 1-2. He married Maria Anna Keller on November 26, 1760.

Mid-Adult Years:

In 1761, Haydn began his lifelong relationship with the wealthiest family in the Hungarian nobility, the Esterhazy family. Haydn spent nearly 30 years of his life here. He was hired as vice-Kapellmeister earning 400 guldens a year, and as time went on, his salary increased as well as his ranking within the court. His music became widely popular.

Late Adult Years:

From 1791, Haydn spent four years in London composing music and experiencing life outside the royal court. His time in London was the high point of his career. He earned nearly 24,000 guldens in a single year (the sum of his combined salary of nearly 20 years as Kapellmeister). Haydn spent the last years of his life in Vienna composing only vocal pieces such as masses and oratorios. Haydn passed away in the middle of the night from old age. Mozart’s Requiem was performed at his funeral.

Barber Symphony No. 1 in G Major

Samuel Barber, a 20th-century American composer, wrote this symphony in 1936. Its orchestration is similar to that of Mahler’s 9th, and its complex chords and layered instrumentation give chills down your spine. This symphony is a great addition to any symphony collection.

Haydn Symphony No. 94 in G Major

Haydn skillfully creates another thoroughly enjoyable symphony, the “Surprise” Symphony. It comes from the original German nickname “Paukenschlag” meaning bass base drum impact. The first movement’s soft melodies and lifting harmonies may put one to sleep. Haydn, knowing this, created a simple melody followed by a large “impact” in the second movement to wake those who fell asleep. The third and fourth movements provide a delightful ending to this classical symphony.

Dvorak Symphony No. 9 in e minor

Dvorak created this symphony in 1893. It’s hard to believe something that can sound this modern is over 100 years old. Dvorak composed the symphony in the spirit of the folklore of African Americans and American Indians after coming to America. He achieved his greatest success at the world premier of this symphony with the New York Philharmonic on American soil. Learn more about the life of Dvorak in this Dvorak profile.

Antonin Dvorak

Born:

September 8, 1841 – Nelahozeves, nr Kralupy

Died:

May 1, 1904 – Prague

Dvorak Quick Facts:

Johannes Brahms once wrote a letter praising and exulting Dvorak’s music; they later became great friends.

After moving to America in 1892, Dvorak spent his summer vacation in the small town of Spillville, Iowa in 1893, because of it’s mainly Czech population.

Dvorak’s greatest musical success was achieved by the world premier of his New World Symphony in Carnegie Hall on December 3, 1893.

Dvorak’s Family Background:

Dvorak’s father, Frantisek was a butcher and an innkeeper. He played the zither for fun and entertainment but later played it professionally. His mother, Anna, came from Why. Antonin Dvorak was the oldest of eight children.

Childhood Years:

In 1847, Dvorak began taking voice and violin lessons from Joseph Spitz. Dvorak took to the violin quickly and soon began playing in church and village bands. In 1853, Dvorak’s parents sent him to Zlonice to continue his education in learning German as well as music. Joseph Toman and Antonin Lehmann continued to teach Dvorak violin, voice, organ, piano, and music theory.

Teenage Years:

In 1857, Dvorak moved to the Prague Organ School where he continued to study music theory, harmonization, modulation, improvisation, and counterpoint and fugue. During this time, Dvorak played the viola in the Cecilia Society. He played works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Wagner. While in Prague, Dvorak was able to attend concerts playing works by Liszt conducted by Liszt himself. Dvorak left the school in 1859. He was second in his class.

Early Adult Years:

In the later summer months of 1859, Dvorak was hired to play viola in a small band, which later became the building blocks of the Provisional Theater Orchestra. When the orchestra formed, Dvorak became the principal violinist. In 1865, Dvorak taught piano to the daughters of a goldsmith; one of whom later became his wife (Anna Cermakova). It wasn’t until 1871 that Dvorak left the theater. During these years, Dvorak was privately composing.

Mid-Adult Years:

Because his early works were to demanding on the artists who performed them, Dvorak evaluated and revamped his work. He turned away from his heavy Germanic style to a more classic Slavonic, stream-line form. Besides teaching piano, Dvorak applied to the Austrian State Stipendium as a means of income. In 1877, Brahms, very much impressed by Dvorak’s works, was on the panel of judges who awarded him 400 guldens. A letter written by Brahms about Dvorak’s music brought Dvorak much fame.

Late Adult Years:

During the last 20 years of Dvorak’s life, his music and name became internationally known. Dvorak earned many honors, awards, and honorary doctorates. In 1892, Dvorak moved to America to work as the artistic director for the National Conservatory of Music in New York for $15,000 (nearly 25 times what he was earning in Prague). His first performance was given in Carnegie Hall (the premiere of Te Deum). Dvorak’s New World Symphony was written in America. On May 1, 1904, Dvorak died of illness.

Ives Symphony No. 1 in d minor

Ives wrote this symphony after being influenced by Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 (mvmt. 2), Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 (mvmt. 3), Schubert’s “Unfinished” symphony (mvmt. 1), and Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique” (mvmt. 4). He had good taste! It is interesting to see how one person can interpret all of these symphonies and put them into “his own words”. This symphony is a must-have for any collection.

The World’s Best Orchestras

A Look at 20 Leading Symphony Orchestras

By Aaron Green, About.com Guide

See More About:

In 2008, Gramophone (one of the world’s most respected classical music publications since its founding in 1923) took on the monumental task of ranking the world’s best orchestras (see the full story here). With a panel composed of eleven renowned music critics from the United States, France, Austria, United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and Korea, Gramophoneonly ranked orchestras of similar nature: modern romantic symphonies, or those known for their Mahlers, Wagners, Verdis, Strausses, and Dvoraks. Symphony orchestras that only specialize in a certain type of music like baroque or renaissance music were omitted. Even with the omissions, the field was left wide open, and the eleven judges had to analyze dozens and dozens of orchestras on an individual basis. It’s hard enough for two people to agree upon a top pick list, let alone eleven, so we can assume that the list, though still subjective, can be trusted. Even if you don’t agree with the ranking (or feel some orchestras like the Philadelphia Orchestra were missing in action), many would agree that the orchestras on the list are deserving.

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Amsterdam

Starting in 1888, the Royal Concertgebouw has been performing classical music for over 120 years. At the time of this ranking, Mariss Jansons was the chief conductor. Jansons was elected to the position in 2004 and remains to this day. The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra has a very unique sound, largely in part to the fact that it has only had six chief conductors since its establishment. And with a collection of nearly a thousand recordings, it’s easy to see why this orchestra takes its position at the top.

Berlin Philharmonic

Founded in 1882, the Berlin Philharmonic has had ten principal conductors, with its latest being Sir Simon Rattle since 2002. It’s no surprise to see the Berlin Philharmonic in this position, especially since under Rattle, the orchestra has won a handful of BRIT Awards, Grammys, Gramophone Awards, and more.

Berlin Philharmonic Website

Vienna Philharmonic

The Vienna Philharmonic is a very popular orchestra with six and thirteen-year waiting lists for its weekday and weekend subscription tickets. And with one of the world’s best concert halls and a grueling audition process for its musicians, it’s not hard to understand why it is so well-liked and highly regarded.

Vienna Philharmonic Website

London Symphony Orchestra

Since its founding in 1904, the LSO has quickly become one of the world’s most well-known orchestras; in part due to their extensive involvement in original film scores like Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Harry Potter, Braveheart, and The Queen.

London Symphony Orchestra Website

Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Coming in at number five on the list, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s highly regarded brass section boosted them above all the United States leading orchestras. Known as one of the U.S.’s “Big 5” orchestras, Daniel Barenboim leads the orchestra at the time of this ranking. It is now under the baton of renowned conductor, Riccardo Muti.

Chicago Symphony Orchestra Website

Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra

Founded in 1949, this relatively young orchestra has had only five chief conductors: Eugen Jochum (1949–1960), Rafael Kubelík (1961–1979), Sir Colin Davis (1983–1992), Lorin Maazel (1993–2002), and Mariss Jansons (2003–present). Because they are a radio orchestra, every nuance can be picked up by the microphones; the musicians must be highly technical and emphatic for every note on the page.

Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra Website

Cleveland Orchestra

Franz Welser-Möst has been leading the Cleveland Orchestra since 2002. With their extensive touring across the U.S. and abroad, their long-term relationships with several leading orchestras, and Welser-Möst’s ongoing reinvention and inspiring interpretations of popular classical music, the Cleveland Orchestra, another of the U.S.’s “Big 5” orchestras, has rightfully earned their inclusion within this list.

Cleveland Orchestra Website

Los Angeles Philharmonic

The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded in 1919. Their “forward-thinking” interpretations and their ability to remold and remodel their performances at the whim of the conductor, give this orchestra a unique advantage. The orchestra now resides in the abstract Walt Disney Concert Hall.

This “baby” orchestra was founded in 1983, but despite its young age, has become a leading world orchestra. Iván Fischer, the orchestra’s founder, and music director set out to create an orchestra that would influence and invigorate the musical life and culture of Hungary – and that he did.

Founded in 1881, the Boston Symphony Orchestra has spent most of its life in the Boston Symphony Hall, which was modeled after Vienna’s Musikverein. The Boston Symphony Orchestra was the first orchestra to perform live on radio (NBC, 1926). At the time of this listing, renowned conductor, James Levine led the orchestra.

New York Philharmonic

The fourth “Big 5” on the list, the New York Philharmonic is the oldest U.S. orchestra since its founding in 1842. With over a dozen Grammy awards under its belt, the orchestra was lead by Lorin Maazel from 2002-2009. Currently, the NY Philharmonic is led by Alan Gilbert.

As all forms of mass media continue to expand, many movies, television programs, and commercials continually include classical music in their soundtracks. And as people are becoming more and more familiar with classical music, naturally, their desire to seek and find a particular work increases. However, the problem is that many people don’t know the name or composer of the piece. My solution (although small and could never cover the vast amounts of classical music) is to provide you with a list of the top requested and inquired-about classical works I receive continually. Here are ten classical music works you know, but don’t know.

No. 1: O Fortuna from Carmina Burana, by Carl Orff

By far the most inquired about classical work, O Fortuna is played in hundreds of movies, television programs, commercials, and other forms of media. Many who have heard this famous piece can hum the melody and often describe it as haunting, foreboding, and big. O Fortuna is the opening movement to Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, a work for large orchestra, choir, and solo vocalists.

Hear O Fortuna in the movies Cheaper by the Dozen, Natural Born Killers, and The Bachelor.

No. 2: Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor, by Franz Liszt

When I heard this piece for what I thought was the first time, I was surprised by how familiar it was. After listening to it several more times, it suddenly hit me… I heard it in a Bugs Bunny cartoon 15 years ago (Rhapsody Rabbit, 1946). He was performing the piece in front of a large audience amongst many distractions. I don’t think cartoons are made like that anymore.

Hear Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor in the movies Delirious, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Shine.

No. 3: Sous le dôme épais (Flower Duet) from Lakme, by Delibes

Already well known, Delibes’s Flower Duet was made ever-increasingly popular by British Airways’ use of the work in a fairly recent advertising campaign. This classic piece features a duet between a coloratura soprano and a mezzo-soprano.

Hear Delibes’s Flower Duet in the movies The American President, Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, and Meet the Parents.

No. 4: Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin

Almost anyone can recognize Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Like, Orff’s O Fortuna, Rhapsody in Blue is featured in many movies and television shows. Some consider it strictly jazz while others say it’s classical when in all actuality, it’s a perfect combination of both. Here’s an interesting fact, when Gershwin was commissioned to write the piece, he wrote it so speedily he didn’t have time to compose the part for piano. At its first performance, Gershwin improvised the piano part. Later, it was finally composed.

Hear Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue in the movies Fantasia 2000 and Manhattan.

No. 5: Dies Irae from Verdi’s Requiem

A great “power” song, people all over the world, even those who dislike classical music, appreciate this work. Verdi’s Dies Irae is arguably the most well-known and recognizable movement of the work. Although many classical music lovers can tell you the name and composer of the piece, the great majority of the world cannot. Its heart-pounding rhythms and driving melodies are truly awe-inspiring.

Hear Verdi’s Dies Irae in the movies Battle Royale and Water Drops on Burning Rocks.

No. 6: Dies Irae from Mozart’s Requiem

Although drastically different from Verdi’s, Mozart’s Dies Irae does not lack intensity and ferociousness. Composed in 1791, this was the last work written by Mozart. The Requiem is a very popular piece, not only due to its beauty but also for its mystery. There are many myths surrounding the exact details of how the Requiem was completed. Mozart died before the work was finished; it was Süssmayr who completed the work.

Hear Mozart’s Dies Irae in the movies X-Men 2, Duplex, and The Incredibles DVD – Jack-Jack Attacks.

No. 7: Nessun Dorma from Turandot, by Puccini

 Nessun Dorma, a deliriously beautiful aria, is known by millions of people, but if you ask them to sing it, they can’t. Why? Because many of them don’t put the name with the song. Nessun Dorma became a household tune, possibly due to the huge success and marketability of the three tenors (Jose Carreras, Luciano Pavarotti, and Placido Domingo), as well as being played in many movie soundtracks.

 Hear Puccini’s Nessun Dorma in the movies Chasing Liberty, Man on Fire, and Bend it like Beckham.

No. 8: Movement 2 from Symphony No. 7, Beethoven

 The second movement, or Funeral March, of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 is an extremely memorable piece. Its ethereal melodic line, repeated throughout the movement’s entirety, gives its listeners chills as it progresses. This movement is the most popular of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. Completed in 1812, it has been enchanting audiences ever since.

 Hear Movement 2 of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in the movies Mr. Hollands Opus, Immortal Beloved, and Cowards Bend the Knee.

No. 9: Ride of the Valkyries from Die Walküre, by Wagner

Featured in cartoons and movies, and everything in between, children and adults alike are very familiar with this piece. To many, Ride of the Valkyries represents the stereotypical large opera female festooned with braids, horned helmet, and metal breastplate with the spear in hand. Although a wonderful piece, Ride of the Valkyries loses some of its magic among all this pop culture.

Hear Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries in the movies Apocalypse Now, The Blues Brothers, and Full Metal Jacket.

No. 10: Peer Gynt Suite No.1, ‘Morning’, by Grieg

Synonymous with the rising sun, Grieg’s ‘Morning’ from Suite No. 1 is known by one and all. Children become familiar with this piece early on, as it is played in many cartoons. Unfortunately, the song titles of songs played are not credited in the ending credits, and even if they were, would kids even notice? I doubt it.

Hear Grieg’s ‘Morning’ from Suite No. 1 in the movies Raising Cain and Soylent Green.

Essential 20th-Century Classical Music

Classical
Essentials
Twentieth CenturyBasic Collection Baroque Music Symphonies Concertos Chamber Music Music for Piano Opera Choral Music 20th Century Music

The twentieth century saw more classical music written than perhaps any other period. And the different styles of music that arose outnumbered those of any other era. The old melodies and harmonies were challenged. New rules were created and then broken. Experimentation and evolution were the new mottoes.

Here we present the most influential and radical music of the twentieth century as an introduction to the huge variety that is now available. From mainstream to minimalism.

STRAVINSKY: RITE OF SPRING, FIREBIRD, PETRUSHKA
Claudio Abbado
The raw sexuality of Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps (“The Rite of Spring”) caused a famous riot after ist first performance. Here it is included with his Firebird, Pulcinella, and Petrushka ballets.

COPLAND: APPALACIAN SPRING, RODEO
Leonard Bernstein
Aaron Copland brought America to classical music. His music was recognizably American and was instrumental in popularizing classical music in America. His tender Appalacian Spring uses a beautiful Shaker hymn The Gift to be Simple.

SHOSTAKOVICH: CELLO CONCERTO NO.1
Rostropovich, Oistrakh
Shostakovich’s first cello and violin concertos are his greatest, most visceral, and most revealing works. This is his scream against oppression. Performed here in their first recordings in the West. Read our review here.

MESSIAEN: QUARTET FOR THE END OF TIME Myung-Whun Chung, Gil Shaham
Inspired by the Book of Revelations and written while in a Nazi concentration camp, the Quartet for the End of Time is one of the icons of Twentieth Century music. Scored for clarinet, cello, violin, and piano, the only instruments available in the camp.

GORECKI: SYMPHONY NO.3
Dawn Upshaw
Gorecki’s Symphony of Sorrowful Songs has become possibly the most popular piece of modern classical music. Upshaw sings these songs born out of suffering and creates an uplifting, otherworldly experience. Full review.

PÄRT: SANCTUARY, TABULA RASA
The Estonian composer Arvo Pärt’s music is like prayer. Contemplative, serene, moving. Don’t expect this music to burst forth or even to “click”. Silence and stillness are integral to Pärt. Just let it wash over you.

REICH: DRUMMING
Steve Reich Ensemble
Steve Reich’s groundbreaking music came from his study of African rhythms. This is minimalism at its most fundamental, simple rhythms repeated with slight variations progressively introduced, culminating in the entire complex structure finally realized.

GLASS: GLASSMASTERS
Philip Glass Ensemble
Certainly the most successful of the minimalists, Philip Glass’ most popular works appear on this 3 CD set, a great introduction to his style. Music from Einstein on the Beach, Akhnaten, Songs from Liquid Days, and others.

TAKEMITSU: REQUIEM
Pacific Symphony Orchestra
Toru Takemitsu is Japan’s greatest composer. Influenced by film music, minimalism, atonalism, and perhaps Debussy, he creates music completely original. Hard to describe, impossible not to like.

Nine Types Of Light

2013

Music Journal

Started a new sub-journal called Music played where I will keep track of my piano practice, and music compositions and download and music listened to. Started a new project – Playing through Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier then on to Mozart and Beethoven Sonatas, followed by finally finishing the Robert Schuman album. Should take me through the fall. If I do this consistently, an hour here and an hour there I can become a fairly decent piano player. Next summer I will wow Tom and Roger with how good I have become. And I need to buy some new music once I get to the States. We are going to upgrade to a full Rhodes state-of-the-art piano and music software package. In the meantime, I am also going to reinstall my allegro, upgrade online and get back into writing music.

Goal for 2013

One hour per day playing the piano

start with Bach’s inventions

then do Mozart, Schuman, and Beethoven

mix in with jazz standards

For each piece play each hand separately

then put together and play each piece twice in one setting

and improvisation nightly

and re-start writing music

Finish downloading the CD collection

Translate William Defluri’s You Tubes into iTunes-friendly formats

Once a month hit the library for additional fresh tunes

the goal is 10,000 tunes by end of the year, then add 1,000 per year

New plan for music June 2013

Buy a Piano from Guitar Center

For each piece of music, I will do some pre-playing and analysis. I will mark it up with cheat sheets indicating notes that are below or above the cleft (helping me read those notes better), highlighting cord changes and key changes, and noting repeat instructions. Once I understand the harmonics, structure, and notes of the piece, then I will play it one-time left hand, one-time right hand, then together. So for new pieces, it will take me one hour per piece, and half an hour for less complicated pieces. Will also plan on one-hour sessions – the first 20-minute piano lesson from Piano Handbook, later a Jazz piano lesson, and eventually buying new harmony books. Then play one to two pieces per day, one jazz pop song, one classic starting with finally finishing Schuman, then move on to Bach, and Mozart. The goal over the next few years is to play Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopan as well as Jazz standards and blues including teaching myself how to play Jazz. Play every other day and on weekend spent two hours writing music, starting with learning the software, then picking my old music and re-writing things. I want to finally master the piano and music writing as a hobby along with my creative writing pursuits.

Update on strategy

Will cycle through Piano Handbook first for lesion, then Winston Piano Solos, Classical Music selection book, and top 100 music until fall

Play one to four songs per session

For each song pre-plan – look at notes add cheat sheets, review repeat strategy, chord progression

Review and note key changes (need to download key charts) memorize finally keys signatures

And experiment with different settings for each song played to master the orchestration possibility

Study harmony books, orchestration books as well

Then start Mozart’s book, Blues standards, Jazz harmony book, and Piano handbook

And try improvising Jazz songs as well

And write your music for two hours every weekend

Goal one hour per day playing/writing music

Update:

started a new book Easy Classics book – nice to start with easier pieces working on developing basic piano skills, sight reading, and better rhythm control. Once I finish I will move on to the top 100 classics plus my other classic book. That should do me until the fall when I hope to conquer Mozart and get back to the plan listed above. Felt I needed to start with the basics and build my skills through daily practice.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Quick Facts:

Of the 41 symphonies that Mozart wrote, only two are in a minor key, both of which are in g minor (Symphony 25 & 40).

Mozart’s music was often criticized as being too complex and “having too many notes.”

Mozart was known to take familiar musical lines from one piece of music and insert them into another piece of music.

Barber Symphony No. 1 in G Major

Samuel Barber, a 20th-century American composer, wrote this symphony in 1936. Its orchestration is similar to that of Mahler’s 9th, and its complex chords and layered instrumentation give chills down your spine. This symphony is a great addition to any symphony collection.

Haydn Symphony No. 94 in G Major

Haydn skillfully creates another thoroughly enjoyable symphony, the “Surprise” Symphony. It comes from the original German nickname “Paukenschlag” meaning bass base drum impact. The first movement’s soft melodies and lifting harmonies may put one to sleep. Haydn, knowing this, created a simple melody followed by a large “impact” in the second movement to wake those who fell asleep. The third and fourth movements provide a delightful ending to this classical symphony.

Dvorak Symphony No. 9 in e minor

Dvorak created this symphony in 1893. It’s hard to believe something that can sound this modern is over 100 years old. Dvorak composed the symphony in the spirit of the folklore of African Americans and American Indians after coming to America. He achieved his greatest success at the world premier of this symphony with the New York Philharmonic on American soil.
