document.writeln(''); Cheryl North Interviews Cheryl North Interviews Constantine Orbelian ANG Newspapers Classical Music Column - February 7, 2003. Imagine the following scenario for a terrific movie: A young American concert pianist arrives in cold blustery Moscow on a December day in 1990 to begin rehearsing for his upcoming appearance with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra. He is primed and ready to solo in the daunting Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 1. Then, the conductor of the orchestra suddenly takes ill. He dies. The concert is to be canceled. But, like the coming of the cavalry to save the besieged fort, the young American suggests that he can not only play the scheduled Shostakovich Concerto, he can also wield a baton! Like John Wayne with sword held high rallying the troops, he proposes to play the concerto and conduct the orchestra too. They doubt, of course. But after he displays his prowess during a rehearsal, they decide they must allow him to try. The big night arrives. He swashbuckles through the performance in heroic fashion. The concert is a smashing success! They ask him to stay on as their new leader. Cut to the credits. But wait! This is not a movie scenario. It's real life and it actually happened to conductor/pianist Constantine Orbelian.

xx HOME Symphony mixes old, new Credit: Chad Dally/City Pulse By Lawrence Cosentino Even the grandest house of music falls the moment the air ceases to vibrate, so the effort to keep a regional orchestra going must sometimes seem like rebuilding the Colosseum from scratch each year. It's a challenge relished by Judith Moore, general manager of the Greater Lansing Symphony Orchestra, who is proud of the Capitoline Hill-scale mix of bread and circuses packed into the Symphony's 2001-02 season. We are reaching out to all kinds of people people of all cultural and economic backgrounds and all ages," says Moore. This year, the GLSO's half-dozen bread-and-butter symphonic concerts balance traditional platters of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff (Mozart is taking a breather this year) with lesser-known works by contemporary American composers such as George Walker and John Corigliano.

57. Concentrating The Shot, Or Langman Known And Unknown name, as well as around those of alexander Rodchenko (1 As a violinist he playedin different orchestras and According to the words of M. markovGrünberg (20 http://www.fotofo.sk/imago/17/langman.htm

Concentrating the Shot, or Langman Known and Unknown Eleazar Langman (1895-1940) has been one of the enigmatic fi-gures in the history of Soviet photography of the 1930s. At the beginning of the thirties the passions were burning around his name, as well as around those of Alexander Rodchenko (1) and Boris Ignatovich (2) who were also members of the association of photographers Oktiabr (October) (3). Langman’s pictures were very expressive and could be easily remembered. He was accused of being too much tending towards formalism, being a “leftist” (4) intentionally “slanting” his pictures (5). Photo-graphs from his earlier period are, by the way, almost unknown, there exist very few trustworthy biographical data, his archive - his negatives and positives - have, as it seems, been lost, as in the last years of his life he had no permanent address and had wandered from one dark room into another. Langman is well-known as the inventor of the “screwed-off screw”, i.e. the rather unsophisticated way of shortening the extreme limit of the minimum distance in taking pictures by the Leica camera. On the standard 50-millimetre objective of the Elmar camera this could be focussed from the minimum distance of one metre only. It was not possible, at that time, to get closer to the object which had to be photographed, because the small bar on the objective rested on the screw of the stop-cock. As Boris Ignatovich has witnessed, Langman had been the first who had the idea of screwing off the checking mechanism. Thus it was possible to screw off the objective one more turn and to photograph objects even from the distance of half a metre. Some used a tailor’s yard-stick for focussing the right distance. Langman, as we see, very sensitively explored the limits of possibilities of optical devices in using a sharp focus.

The program continues a series that previously focused on conductors, singers and pianists, drawing upon archival sound recordings, films and videotapes to make famous names more of a reality for us today.

60. Artifacts:in.the.beginning:true.computer.music The basic idea of markov modeling is as follows Even in 1876 alexander Graham Bellknew that a young telecommunications engineer and amateur violinist named Max http://rain.create.ucsb.edu/ken/A/harp/artifacts/hiller.html

The First Decade, 1955-65 Dream: Mind of Science/Heart of Art Reality: Existence Proofs t rue computer music did not begin, however, until a young research chemist and composer named Lejaren A. Hiller began to investigate ways to apply a process known as stochastic modeling to understanding the process of musical composition. Stochastic methods had been successfully used for molecular modeling in chemistry for some time, and computers were a perfect vehicle to exploit such techniques. Computers of the mid-1950s were not yet capable of sensing and producing arbitrary sounds. They were, however, capable of the high-speed calculations which made otherwise laborious stochastic modeling a practical reality. Because Hiller worked at the University of Illinois, he had access to one of the earliest examples of what we would now call a supercomputer: the Illiac Hiller's dream was not only to compose music with a computer, but to understand both how a composer thinks and even what makes one piece of music good and another poor. Because such work had never been attempted before, the dreams clearly (and typically) overshot any possibility of realization. The problem turned out to be much harder than anyone realized before anyone had attempted to solve it, as problems often do. Nevertheless, the dream was no less than grandiose deep insight into the intelligence of the human mind, in this case the musical intelligence. The computer allowed an experiment than most would say failed (if we listen to the resulting music), but I contend that the experiment succeeded in producing one of the most brilliant dreams ever had about music. The dream exceeded even those of Francis Bacon, whose brilliant imagination stopped short of including scientific investigation of the process of human musical thought.
