Art, Music & Recreation Center

It definitely seems to be closer to the definition of art than music in my opinion anyway. Gottfried von Leibniz (1646–1716), music reflected a universal rhythm and mirrored a reality that was fundamentally mathematical, to be experienced in the mind as a subconscious apprehension of numerical relationships. Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) perpetuated, in effect, the idea of the harmony of the spheres, attempting to relate music to planetary movement. St. Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–74), held the basis of music to be mathematical; music reflects celestial movement and order. Such returns to simplicity, directness, and the primacy of the word have been made periodically, out of loyalty to Platonic imperatives, however much these “neo” practices may have differed from those of the Greeks themselves.

The process of creating mood in visual art can be relayed by a painter through the use of a range of colours in a particular palate chosen by an artist. There are many ways to create mood in visual art as there are in music, but colour choice can be the overriding instrument that an artist uses to build a particular mood. It’s the same for composers when they choose the instruments for their musical palate. A lot of brass can suggest something bold and a woodwind dominate piece might be suggesting a softer, more subtle mood. The Department aims to give students an understanding of the importance of rigorous practical and intellectual formation in stimulating creative thought and achieving creative expression.

This time, they are joined by multi-instrumentalist Stephane Salerno. ‘Celeste’ oscillates between muted guitars and magical lines of synthesizers. It’s a track that can seamlessly soundtrack summer party …

It’s almost like hearing a recording in mono sound—very good, clear mono, but still mono—compared with state-of-the-art digital stereo. She just gets more out of her orchestra and, with that extra detail, a much deeper and more meaningful interpretation. One good example is the slow passage near the end of the first movement.

  • But even when the opening tempo is fast, Weinberg’s symphonies almost never end on a happy or a triumphant note; sooner or later, the deep sadness comes into the picture, and this is so here—at least for a while.
  • Immersive, experience-led learning is at the heart of all of our programs in Art & Music Histories.
  • In addition, Zinn plays some unusual notes and fills behind the leader, both during theme statements and later in these tracks.

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 cello plays undulating, ambient figures to suggest a whale, then high held notes on the edge of its strings.
  • Scabeni’s ‘Swank and Hatter’ seduces the listener with the metallic textures present throughout the piece.
  • Five athletic musicians perform with 145 mobile invented instruments — all hand-made by group leader and composer, Gregory Kozak.
  • Gražinytė-Tyla’s performance, along with flautist Marie-Christine Zupancic, is appropriately upbeat.

His assignment of particular qualities to a given mode is reminiscent of Plato and Confucius. In every historical period …

This belief, however, doesn’t explain why music and art can evoke emotion in the audience if it’s not simply due to an exploitation of more basic senses. With dancefloors in mind Pandhora and Tim Kari created ‘Farewell’, a track that stands out for its energy and refined sound synthesis. A long emotional break precedes an intense, progressive and grandiose drop. Scabeni’s ‘Swank and Hatter’ seduces the listener with the metallic textures present throughout the piece. A futuristic mixture between jazz and eastern notations achieves a spacey feeling to play with from dawn to dusk. This release wouldn’t be complete without a track from 9DEEP and Veytik!

I was just as delighted with the leader’s arrangements of other standard tunes in this album as I was with Morning Sunrise. He does indeed create a new tune over the chords of the original, but doesn’t extend it to the degree that Witzel does, falling into the usual sequence-o-f-rhythmic-chords that most jazz organists use. I don’t wish to make this sound as if Ho is not a good jazz organist; he clearly is; he’s just not on the same level as the leader, Witzel. The term “art music” refers primarily …

As in some of her other works, too, Zwilich throws in some clear jazz references—here, at least, in the earlier jazz-classical style of Gershwin, only a bit more modal. She also provides excellent contrasts between the cellist’s lines and the orchestra. For the most part they are on the same page , but there are some wonderful moments in which they play opposing figures that complement one another. Near the end of the first movement, Bailey plays a note that is slightly “warped” in sound which gives the music an unusual feel.

  • Witzel imparts a surprising, medium-fast Latin beat to Lerner and Loewe’s If Ever I Would Leave You although the middle eight, played by Ho, is in a straight 4, and it moves steadily into 4 once the initial theme statement is done and Ho begins soloing.

This kind of creative involvement cultivates the capacity for spontaneous composition. Except for his overly frantic and too cheerful reading of the Rondo-Burleske, however, this is one of the greatest performances of this symphony you are ever likely to hear. Born in Tenerife, he began his musical training as a horn player at the Conservatorio Superior de Tenerife, and later graduated with honors in the specialty of singing at the Conservatori del Liceu in Barcelona.

Music in all its varied forms is the most accessible and affordable form of art we have today. Justine is involved in project conceptualization, instrument design, and all facets of art direction . She’s also involved in stage direction, music critique and future developments. Unexpectedly beautiful Experimental Pop Percussion that is intricate, playful and powerful, and that delights the ears, eyes and heart.
