Extractions: Sunset in a small French village. The town is quiet, kissed by the last rays of the setting sun. Behind the cottages, laundry flaps in the gentle evening breeze. Twisting curls of smoke rise from chimneys. In the distance, a church bell tolls. Leaves scuttle across the courtyard, which is empty save for a dying man swinging from the gallows. As the rest of the villagers go about their daily business, he raises his darkening eyes for one final glimpse of the sun, and listens to his death knell.
Extractions: 20th Century Composers message board: leave your comments The composers in this section all composed their music during the last century. Some of them are still composing today. Seems simple enough. But over the last 100 years, ideological changes and technical advances have affected not only the way that music is enjoyed but also the way that it is composed. These composers have all explored new and uncharted territory in terms of tone and structure, often abandoning or combining preconceived notions about the nature of classical music. Schoenberg developed the equally weighted twelve-tone scale, which abolished previously held ideas about tone. Debussy and Ravel experimented with Impressionism, which further destroyed traditional tonality. Gershwin incorporated elements of jazz into his wildly popular music.

Extractions: Phrygian Gates c ommissioned by Mack Mccray Fitst performed, March 17, 1997 by Mack McCray, pianist, Hellman Hall, San Francisco Duration: 22 minutes China Gates written for pianist Sarah Cahill Duration: 5 minutes Publisher for both works: Associated Music Publishers (G. Schirmer, Inc.) Phrygian Gates and its little companion piece, China Gates , are products of a critical period in my career as a composer. Together they comprise what could be my "opus one" by virtue of the fact that they appeared in 1977-78 as the first coherent statements in a new language. Several earlier pieces from the 1970’s, American Standard Grounding and some tape compositions, seem in retrospect to be inventive but still searching for a means of holding themselves together. Phrygian Gates I Ching did not seem all that far removed from making them by consulting a tone row. Minimalism, alhtough an admittedly reduced and at times naive style, offered me a way out of this bind. I found the combination of tonality, pulsation and large architectonic structures to be extremely promising. Phrygian Gates shows in as clear a way possible how I approached these potentials of Minimalism. Paradoxically it also reveals the fact that from the start I was already searching for ways to convolute and enrich the inherent simplicities of the style. (The phrase, often attributed to me, that I was "a Minimalist bored with Minimalism", was the remark of another writer, yet it was not far from the mark.)

AV Marketplace SF Classical Voice Celebrates Six Months Online By Barry Willis Among major American cities, San Francisco probably ranks near the top in culture per capita. It's therefore no accident that an Internet venture billing itself "the world's first website journal of classical music criticism" should have originated there. The site, San Francisco Classical Voice , is celebrating its first six months online. Backed by the SF Foundation Community Initiative Funds, the non-commercial site is devoted solely to in-depth reviews of live performances of classical music-including opera, symphonic works, chamber recitals, and occasional solo pieces. Although a large number of the Bay Area's local musicians are subjected to SFCV 's journalistic scrutiny, many of the performers reviewed are of national and international caliber, and are of interest to classical music fans outside Northern California.

Extractions: Another LA musical snapshot from behind the wheel... Driving down Sunset Boulevard while listening to Michael Jon Fink's Five Pieces for Piano . Outside the car is a visual world of garish movie billboards, hectic people, the deep red of the Whisky A Go Go, and the spring purple blooms of the jacaranda tree (via Virginia Postrel). Inside, distant from all that stimulation, the piano music is sparse, quiet, and yet sharp; Cage's In a Landscape but more intense. The five pieces are Passing, Mode, Fragment, Echo, and Epitaph. The CD is Fink's I Hear It in the Rain , another from Cold Blue. Amazon samples Richard di Santo's review These pieces move slowly and quietly; they whisper to you in the night, a single solitary voice that echoes from within the silence. And from the Cold Blue Music website ...display Finkâs command of crystalline forms that are Debussyian in beauty (and occasionally in gesture) yet hold a distinctly contemporary artistic distance from their musical materials. These fragile and primarily extremely quiet pieces are performed with great aplomb by Bryan Pezzone. Posted on June 03, 2004 in

Reviews Reviews. a thoughtful and sensitive young pianist. Hymer makes senseout attitude at the keyboard.. (sarah cahill, Bay Area Express). http://www.wireworks.de/wireworks/Jennifer/HymerReviews.html
Extractions: Review from Village Voice: "We Will, We Will Nonpop you" by Kyle Gann Lid Open, Lid Shut The piano as unconventional music machine in Atelier "Freie Stücke" Usually pianists are spared from reorganizations or changes of instruments. Smiling, they sit on the piano bench and watch the bustle of their colleagues' clear-up. However the pianist that undertakes music from John Cage, Vinko Globokar, Belinda Reynolds, George Crumb, Annea Lockwood and Dieter Schnebel has more than both hands full. Lid shut, lid open, glissandos on the strings, strings prepared with wadding, the piano treated with the elbows and heels - in the best cases this would all entail a full musical experience. Jennifer Hymer knows how to do it right. She proved that in Atelier "Freie Stücke". For the first time ever, a grand piano stood in the Atelier and Hymer virtuostically transformed just this into an unconventional acoustic music machine. Present were not only the mere effects, the wonder over metal swabs between the strings and the large squared scores in the foreground; here everything was achieved by handwork and played highly expressively. Every effect received its meaning, every touch thought out and well-measured.

Extractions: format New Music: Piano Compositions by Henry Cowell by Henry Cowell (CD Album) Henry Cowell was an incredibly prolific, influential composer who helped to shape the musical landscape of twentieth century America and beyond. New Music: Piano Compositions by Henry Cowell is a live recording drawn from a three-day festival entitled, "Cowell and his Legacy", which took place at UC Berkeley in early 1997 to mark the centenary of his birth and to demonstrate some of the consequences of his pianistic innovations for his contemporaries, students and successors. And as Sarah Cahill notes in the liner, "The only trick was deciding what to leave out". Four front-rank musicians (Cahill is one) from Bay Area Pianists and Cal Performers play works here selected from the festival's three gargantuan concerts in which Cowell's piano music was programmed alongside that of Cage, Lou Harrison, Ruth Crawford, and more, with a sprinkling of newly commissioned works by Terry Riley and Meredith Monk to name but two.

The ensuing traffic Gilbert casually directed included a climaxing momentum of random sounds presented, in particular, by trumpeter London. Londons diverse experiencewith such artists as John Zorn, Mel Torme, David Byrne, LL Cool J, They Might Be Giants, The Klezmatics, as well as his own group Hasidic New Wave-serves as a perfect example of what kind of varied background most members of the Downtown Ensemble are capable of having.
Extractions: Crotchet Amazon UK Amazon USA Henry Cowell (1897-1965) pioneered most of the extended piano techniques now commonplace, and he wrote many pieces with his trade-mark 'tone clusters' (he invented the term) before he was 15. He founded New Music Quarterly and wrote an important book, New Musical Resources. Dubbed in London 't he Loudest Pianist in the World ' by The Times in 1920, his body of piano music is so large, and has become so influential, as to warrant in his honour a whole three-day festival in 1997 at Berkely, California, from which derives these recordings by four of the pianists who took part. Besides works like The Banshee and Aeolian Harp , which take us inside the piano lid, there are many other curiosities in this selection covering his output from 1912-1929, some of the pieces still unpublished. Cowell brings to mind another maverick original, Percy Grainger, which may give a lead as to what to expect. Each pianist describes what Cowell has meant to him/her.

Extractions: NOTES: Talk Talk Talk (1997) Two motives 'compete' with each other, holding onto their self identity in a stubborn way. They are played nervously in a dynamic scale of Forte to Fortissimo, often 'sul ponticello', creating a feeling of a loud argument. "Talk Talk Talk" was commissioned by the Jerusalem Rubin Academy of Music, as part of its 50th anniversary, celebrated in 1997. At that time I was a Ph.D. candidate in the U.S., and was watching the political situation in my homeland from abroad. My impressions have lead to the creation of this intense musical dialogue, which seems to be still relevant. BIO: www.benzaken-steinberg.com
