Brill, Elissa of Holyoke, Massachusetts Etude: floating and then not (piano solo) The composer writes: "Etude grew out of a conversation I had with a colleague. We were contemplating what it is about some pieces of music that makes them feel like they are floating on air, and what it is about some other pieces that makes them seem to be so close to the earth. Although there are many other elements at work, one important element seemed to be the nature of the rhythmic resolution. It is the treatment of rhythm that I chose to explore in this piece. The form is ABA, where each A section is mostly floating and the B section is mostly not."

Recent Reviews Spring 2004 Program 2003 Press Release History of the Las Vegas Piano Institute ... Order CD James Giles (piano), Wigmore Hall, 16th April 2003 The young American pianist James Giles, a professor at Northwestern University, gave one of the most sheerly inspired piano recitals I can remember hearing for sometime. Inspired partly for the programming, which placed the familiar with the unfamiliar, and inspired partly by self-evident artistry, it was the kind of recital which put the music at the service of the composer and not the performer. For some, Mr. Giles's performance of Schubert's great D. 960 sonata might have compared less favorably with a recent one given at the Festival Hall by Evgeny Kissin. Yet Kissin's egomaniac, somnambulant performance, taken at a dangerously slow tempo, was a world away from the tempestuous, almost fiery approach which Mr. Giles took. Where Mr. Kissin had been obtrusive in his use of rubato, Mr. Giles used it to the minimum and the effect was to distil a parenthesis of death-hued ambivalence to the noble opening movement. Subtle shadings of pp and ppp playing, so poorly differentiated in Mr. Kissin's performance, were here radically drawn so when the appearance of the G-flat trill in the bass part of the piano awoke, like a slumbering giant, it did so with thunderous, almost calamitous, force.

45. Introduction dreams” he resurrected his youthful desire to become a concert pianist After twoyears studying piano under Dr. william westney, Browning Artistin-Residence http://www.bibleandanthroposophy.com/Smith/main/disciple/introduction.html

Introduction by Christopher Bamford It is a privilege to write a few words to introduce this pithy, far-reaching essay by Edward Reaugh Smith The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved focuses (with many fascinating asides) on the identity of the “beloved disciple”: the one “leaning on Jesus’ bosom, whom Jesus loved”—the one to whom Jesus “gave” His mother—not to mention the one who wrote the Fourth Gospel, the Apocalypse, and certain Letters that expound the Christian teaching of love more perfectly than any other human text. Ordinary Christians have always called this author “John,” which tradition has sometimes interpreted to mean “to whom is given” and which Smith tells us comes from a conflation of two Hebrew words “Yah” (or Yahweh) with “Anna,” meaning “grace.” In other words, John manifests and bears witness to God’s grace. Certainly no Christian texts have exerted a comparable initiatory influence. Indeed, whether or not it is justifiable to speak of a “Johannine” spiritual (esoteric) Church, in contrast to the Petrine or institutional (exoteric) Church, St. John has always stood for the heights of mystical theology: the deepest Christian initiation. His identity, therefore, is a matter of more than passing interest. This is one reason why, when asked by the New York Open Center and the Anthroposophical Society to contribute to a lecture series celebrating Christianity at the beginning of the new millennium, Ed Smith chose the theme of the identity of John: it would allow him to talk of Christian initiation in a new way, one whose time he felt had come. Another reason surely was that it allowed him to bring together a number of
