ISAM Newsletter: Behind The Beat Caribbean Roundup by Ray Allen Unifying the Plotless Musical Sondheim s Assassinsby James Lovensheimer The pianist s Space by marilyn nonken Behind the Beat http://depthome.brooklyn.cuny.edu/isam/tucker2.html
Extractions: ISAM Home A child piano prodigy grows up in poverty to become star soloist and arranger with one of the leading swing bands in America. She rides the crest of the boogie woogie wave while entertaining at Café Society in New York, arranges for Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington, and joins the bop revolution in Harlem, serving as a mentor to Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, and other young musicians. Disillusioned with the jazz life, in the 1950s she drops out of the music business, converts to Catholicism, and starts her own charitable foundation. Eventually a Jesuit priest coaxes her back into performance and she resumes an active career while also composing several large-scale sacred works. At Duke University she becomes artist-in-residence and continues to concertize until her death in 1981 at the age of seventy-one. These are the bare bones of the story recounted by Linda Dahl in Morning Glory: A Biography of Mary Lou Williams (Pantheon, 2000; $30). Its a wonder no one has come along to tell it sooner, but fortunately Dahls richly comprehensive account can serve as a standard for some time. Given full access to unpublished sources by Williamss close associate, Father Peter F. OBrien, Dahl draws upon letters, diaries, and autobiographical writings to reveal the private side of a complex artist. Plagued by personal problems throughout her lifeinvolving family, lovers, financial woes, and career strugglesWilliams found solace through music and spirituality, persevering in her mission to spread the gospel of jazz and blues wherever she went.

A small surcharge applies to all online orders. 6-concert Spring Composer Portraits Passport Please note that artists and programs are subject to change. 7PM preconcert discussion with David Lang and Alan Pierson Provocative New York composer David Lang (b. 1957) approaches his classical craft with urban sensibility. The Passing Measures (which takes its name from a pair of dances for virginal by William Byrd) is a quasi-concerto for bass clarinet accompanied by chorus and amplified orchestra. The forty-minute work is a monumental musical environment, emotionally charged and meditative. The So-called Laws of Nature , written for the So Percussion Ensemble, is a rock 'n' roll romp on pieces of junk metal, wood planks, and drums, heard here in its entirety for the first time. Another new work, described by the composer as a showcase for Alarm Will Sound, fills out this evening of excitement.

Extractions: Online Music Review La Folia Home] [Archives by Contributor] [Archives by Date] ... Page] The Music of Jonathan Harvey Robert Reigle [April 2000. Originally appeared in La Folia Concert at Columbia University, New York. November 15, 1999. Performed by Ensemble 21, and electronics created at IRCAM. In Quest of Spirit These insights sounded in the five works heard at the concert. The longest piece, Song Offerings Gitanjali . The instrumental parts glistened at the concert, but the impressive singing did not match the profundity of the texts in some parts. The soprano writing, which emphasizes very high notes as well as the passaggio transitional range, requires non-standard techniques of vibrato. Judith Bettina seemed to sacrifice details of vibrato (specified in the score) in favor of emotional projection (as didPenelope Walmsley-Clark in the Nimbus recording). Tombeau de Messiaen (1994), for piano and DAT tape, received a spirited performance by pianist Marilyn Nonken. The work blends the live (equal-tempered) piano with pre-recorded piano sounds tuned to twelve different harmonic series. Harvey works with the ambiguity of the two tunings through skillful transitions and overlapping. If I understand correctly, he sees ambiguity as a way of spiritually transcending duality.
