Immersive, experience-led learning is at the heart of all of our programs in Art & Music Histories. On campus, faculty and students collaborate with the Syracuse University Art Museum and the Special Collections Research Center at Syracuse University Libraries. Within the local community, our partners include the Everson Museum of Art, Light Work, and the Society for New Music, to name just a few. Faculty regularly organize field trips to New York City to network with curators and other cultural heritage professionals, many of whom are alumni of the Art & Music Histories program.
- Gobi Desert Collective and Copal join the label with their track ‘Ambedo’, a darker release that maintains the fresh personality of the Art Vibes collective.
- It is more restless and moody than almost any of the other symphonies, and only seems to respond well to those conductors who understand this.
- Thus I hear this as a very carefully prepared and meticulously played performance of the symphony that only occasionally touches the raw nerve endings that Mahler put into it.
- This is not a ‘how to’ book, nor is it meant as any kind of music theory dogma.
His assignment of particular qualities to a given mode is reminiscent of Plato and Confucius. In every historical period there have been defectors from one or more of these views, and there are, of course, differences of emphasis. While residing in Brussels these two artists began to collect works of art for what is now known as the Mesdag Museum. Residing in Columbus, Ohio, Neuhues wields the palettes of Tech-House, Minimal, with splashes of Electro and UK Garage to make you move with the freshest tracks coming out of the UK and the EU.
Bychkov gives some interesting accents on the low string theme that follows, particularly the first time around, emphasizing the sadness of the music. From the very first notes of the Schoenberg Klavierstücke, one is aware of the fact that Iman is an artist and not just a technician. His phrasing and subtle use of dynamics mold and shape this music in ways I’ve never quite heard before. There is a certain “curvelinear” feel to his phrasing that attracts the listener, despite the fact that this is already 12-tone Schoenberg. In addition, his piano is recorded perfectly, giving his sound great clarity with just enough natural reverb around the instrument to not make it sound like an echo chamber.

Here, the harpsichord plays rambling, circular figures, busy music that basically goes nowhere. Weinberg continues to play with this phone-ringing motif on and off throughout the movement. Projecting deep feeling into the sounds you discover will bring them to life. By playing and practicing inside the Matrices and Cosmograms a musician will develop dexterity on any instrument in ways that are different from practicing scales and arpeggios.
The Art of Yoga & Self
And clearly, by the time he wrote the Seventh Symphony for harpsichord and orchestra in 1964, Weinberg’s sadness had clearly set in. In 1949, angry at his very modern scores, Stalin had his father-in-law killed in what was made to look like an auto accident, but the composer wasn’t fooled. He knew it was a “hose’s head” warning to him to play ball or face harsh treatment, possibly even death. By this time, the composer had formed a bond with Rudolf Barshai, conductor and co-founder with harpsichordist Andrey Volkansky of the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, and Barshai led the first performance of this symphony in 1964 with Volkansky as soloist.
And Witzel’s solo is an extension of that theme, using its harmonic base to improvise on but also extending the time—and the harmony—within his improvised choruses. In other words, the solo, too, is a composition, just a spontaneously created one. While my readers know very well that I am not a big fan of this modern trend towards soft-grained jazz guitar playing, it is what Witzel plays rather than the style in which he plays it that grabbed my attention. His solos are wonderfully creative, far better than the first “soft jazz” guitarists of the 1990s were.
Les Deux Amis, Flute and Guitar Duo Emerging young artists and currently graduate students at The Hartt School, Garcia and Hershey will present a delightful evening of chamber music. Each year WMSE loves to add something fun for patrons to take part in. This year Music Go Round Greenfield provided instruments to create a rock band set-up, and guests were encouraged to take a “Fantasy Rock Band” photos with their friends.
