Slide guitars give way to violas, which usher in eerie synths. Organs crop up throughout, evoking both Renaissance music and a fairground attraction. But the album is far more accessible than any of this might suggest. The artist, whose real name is Natalie Mering, accompanies her instrumental idiosyncrasies with strong, luscious melodies and unfussy lyrics.

Yardumian Concerto No. Symphony No. Brahms Allegro ma non troppo Andante moderato Allegro giocoso Allegro energico e passionato? From the beginning of his career, Handel was the "people's composer.

But there was also something inherent in his music that could account for the position he gained in the hearts of the public of his day; his expression was direct and simple, with no ostentatious display for its own sake. His music had little of the introspective quality that was characteristic of his greater but less popular contemporary, Bach; and it was this nonsubjective quality that made his style irresistible in its appeal to the masses.

The date of the "Fireworks" Suite is fixed; for it was on April The dates of the other works, however, are not known. Handel was not considerate of future writers of program notes and failed to date his manuscripts, so whether he wrote the Concerto in D major before or after the "Fireworks" Suite will perhaps always remain a dark secret to musical scholars.

Be that as it may, all these works were written during the days of Handel's greatest popularity in London and during the most prolific period of his creative life, when, at the beck and call of a noble patron, he produced operas, oratorios, and occasional music of every variety.

It is little wonder that in the rush and hubbub of his daily life he often found it convenient to rewrite an older work or to find in one a set of themes he could rework. The Concerto in D major may have first been used as an organ concerto, for the score has in one place an indication of Organo ad libitum and an additional bass part to guide the organist in improvising.

The organ, however, does not seem to be an im? Ormandy omits it. The original instrumentation two trumpets, four horns, two oboes, bassoon, tym-pani, and strings he retains, however, as a nucleus, adding to it the resources of the modern orchestra to vivify the effects that would have been achieved in Handel's day.

Until the advent of Dimitri Shostakovich, Jean Sibelius held a position of unrivaled eminence among present-day symphonists. The fact remains that in spite of the sensational rivalry offered by the young Russian composer, Sibelius is, without doubt, by virtue of the quality and quantity of his output, still the outstanding symphonist of our day; and this in spite of the fact that he has produced no new symphony since his Seventh in Fate has been persistent in involving Jean Sibelius in great soul-stirring catastrophies.

As a young musician, he was an artistic rebel determined upon Finnish freedom, politically as well as artistically, and was involved in Finland's emancipation in the 's. World War I found him as staunch and bravely nationalistic as ever in the face of impending doom.

And during the last war, at the close of a long life full of great artistic achievements and deep concern for his native land, the old patriarch refused to leave his unfortunate country in her need and wrote on in the midst of her greatest disaster.

Sibelius' faith in humanity has been subjected to the severest tests, but he has never lost that faith. But, speaking of Sibelius purely as a historical figure, and of his position among the greatest symphonists of the past, it must be acknowledged that it was really through him that the long line of symphonic writing has survived; a line which, except for his efforts, seemed to have come to an end.

Sibelius alone, working against the tendency of his age and continuing in the tradition of the great masters of the past, not only saved the symphonic form from oblivion, but raised it again to a level of dignity and grandeur equaled only by Beethoven. It was Beethoven in fact who guided Sibelius through the labyrinth of his own ideas. He is a revelation to me.

He was a Titan. Everything was against him, and yet he triumphed. In the words of his biographer, Karl Ekman--"The noble structure of his works has come forth from the grand line of his life. He has won his inner strength and harmony in a hard battle.

In a disjointed time, a period of dissension, Jean Sibelius provides us with the uplifting picture of a man who dared to follow his genius, and never was subservient to other claims than those of his own artistic conscience, who dared to live his life in the grand style.

That is to say, it has one chief dominating subject, a fanfarelike theme which first appears on a solo trombone near the outset and recurs twice, more or less integrally, and in addition a host of small, pregnant, fragmentary motives of which at least a dozen play a prominent part in the unfolding of the action.

The resourceful way in which these are varied, developed, juxtaposed, permuted, and combined into a continuous and homogeneous texture is one of the miracles of modern music; Sibelius himself has never done anything to equal it in this respect.

Joy of life, and vitality with appassionato passages. In three movements--the last, a "Hellenic rondo. In fact, he himself conceded that he did not know, when he began, precisely how the symphonies would end.

When I started on January 14th--I have the date ffom the notes in my diary--three sections of the seventh symphony were ready. On my return home, the whole symphony was completed; I performed it in public at a concert in Helsingfors on February 19th--the last time I con? On March 2nd, , at night, as I entered in my diary, I completed "Fantasia Sinfonica"--that was what I at first thought of calling my seventh symphony in one movements For the program book of the Philadelphia Orchestra of April 3, first performance under Leopold Stokowski , Lawrence Gilman supplied this clear and revealing analysis: The symphony opens with an extended adagio section of brooding and somber intensity.

It crops out again and again, as a whole, or fragmentarily, and often inverted. In the twenty-second measure it is succeeded by a broadly lyric theme in C major, sung by the divided violas and cellos, joined later by the divided first and second violins.

The scale passages return in the strings and woodwind, and then we hear from the solo trombone a chant-like melody in C, which will later assume great importance. The tempo quickens; there are more scale passages; the pace is now vivacissimo, C minor. The strings announce a subject that recalls the mood of the Scherzo of Beethoven's Eroica. There is a rallentando, and a return to the adagio tempo of the beginning. The solo trombone repeats its chant-like phrase against figurations in the strings, and it is joined by the rest of the brass choir.

Again the tempo quickens, and an allegro molto moderato is established. The strings poco f, C major, give out a new melody of folklike simplicity and breadth; and this is followed by another subject, also in C major, arranged--according to a pattern of which Sibelius is fond--for woodwind doubled in pairs, playing in thirds, fifths, and sixths.

This theme is developed by the strings and wind, with interjections of the familiar scale passages for the violins.

Capsule Comments on CDs about Antarctica. Valmar Kurol can be reached directly at mtl. Launched: 27 May There is no other music like the toneless music of millions of years of accumulated silence, through which come bars of unearthly colours. There is no need for ears to hear the fugues played on this ice organ. Here nature has set aside for man a domain of beauty and inspiration such as he cannot know elsewhere on this planet. The range of potential experiences was much smaller than elsewhere, the opportunity for surprise much less.

Album reviews: Weyes Blood – Titanic Rising, and Circa Waves – What’s It Like Over There?

Would a variable resistor be better in order to allow for a fine balance adjustment? If so, what value? Is any possible damage likely to occur to the amplifier as a result of this arrangement? No-Stratas isn't imitating She is quite different Perhaps not as subtle, more of an actress, bigger in the voice But somehow she hits the exact mood of these wry, often bitterly humorous works as no one else has to my knowledge since Lenya A German Piaf! That French singer will often come to mind Weill wrote some songs in French and here Stratas turns purely Gallic as Piaf leaps out at you in Weill's music Stratas is a fabulous musical actress, a woman who passionately projects herself into a style, a manner, with the deepest understanding Not surprisingly, she also does grand opera at the Met But even better, she is also a superb musician, impeccable in her pitch, phrasing, diction in spite of all the slidings, the emotional tremors, those frightening baritone outbursts and the pitiful child -soprano tearfulness, even the muttered spoken words It is a masterpiece of singing A fascinating bound -in profusion of detailed notes and photos, with original texts and translations, adds much to the impact You can spend weeks on this album Only one thing leaves me curious Why does the pianist, Richard Woitach, go entirely unmentioned on the album?

Employers on Music Jobs

I've had money and I've had none, but I've never been so broke that I couldn't leave town — Jim Morrison. Yeah, I do believe with all sincerity that you are defined by what you listen to and watch. Low art? I say it with humor, because as far as I'm concerned post Elvis most of our great artists chose to work in pop mediums, both because they loved them and knew it was the way to get paid. Instead within occur some mere thoughts on my favorite tunes, movies, television shows, and comedy bits and some personal stories that they evoked. His plan was to play all the records that shaped his musical taste as a teenager in the order that he discovered them, and the show he put together was equal parts history lesson and autobiography. Am I in love?

The Funk Era and Beyond

Between two flames the man stood, overlooking the crowd. A soft breeze, playing about the torches, sent shadows billowing across the massed folk on the ground. Shrewdly set with an eye to theatrical effect, these phares of a night threw out from the darkness the square bulk of the man's figure, and, reflecting garishly upward from the naked hemlock of the platform, accentuated, as in bronze, the bosses of the face, and gleamed deeply in the dark, bold eyes.

The latter ranges from stark, modernistic exercises to over-the-top re-interpretations such as the recent Berlin "Rigoletto" set on the "Planet of the Apes". And between these two polar extremes lies a vast wasteland of unexplored territory, melding, one hopes, the best of both a production true to the essence of the opera's story and yet imaginative, evocative, and truly contemporary. It is not on the same planet.
