Extractions: Kierkegaard - " Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards " - is quoted in the programme for this unmissable revival of a show, for which recourse to New Grove 2 nd Edition provides the date of its original production, telling us: Sondheim, Stephen (Joshua) ( b New York, 22 March 1930). American composer and lyricist. Inescapable if contentious doyen of the American musical. Merrily We Roll Along (2, Furth, after Kaufman and M. Hart), orchd Tunick, Alvin, 16 Nov 1981 - - [incl. Good Thing Going, Not a Day Goes By, Old Friends]' For readers of it is worth shouting from the rooftops that in Gareth Valentine (who studied with Sir Peter Pears at Aldeburgh and was repetiteur at the RCM Opera School) the company has a great conductor/pianist as musical director. It was hard to keep one's eyes off him and I would go to hear him conduct in any genre. Helped by three TV screens for visibility, he keeps a firm yet delicate grip on the proceedings with minimal finger gestures of one hand, whilst demonstrating real pianistic skill with the other. His ever-watchful restraint assured that the delivery of Sondheim's own lyrics took centre stage, and it was quite a surprise at the interval to see how many musicians emerged from behind their box. The full power of the ten-piece band was only unleashed in the second half at the 'premiere' of the show to which they had prostituted their 'genius', with the real, brassy sound of a big theatre musical -

Extractions: Early Piano Rolls In the heyday of the player piano, music roll manufacturers recorded the performances of a number of famous pianists and issued rolls of their work. Here are just a few names that spring to mind:- George Gershwin, Thomas 'Fats' Waller, James P Johnson, Jelly Roll Morton, Vee Lawnhurst, Frank Milne, Percy Grainger, Liberace, Eubie Blake, Scott Joplin, Constance Mering, Harold Bauer, Phil Ohman, Frank Banta , Ignace Paderewski, Pauline Alpert, Myra Hess, Rudolf Ganz, Victor Arden and Alfred Cortot. Left to right: Thomas 'Fats' Waller, 'Jelly Roll' Morton, James P. Johnson, Scott Joplin, George Gershwin, Vee Lawnhurst. The pianist would perform upon a purpose-built recording piano, the keys and pedals of which were equipped with electrical contacts. The notes played were registered by a series of marking pens on a master roll, which was subsequently perforated by hand and any mistakes rectified. In some instances, a high speed perforator was used in preference to the marking apparatus. Most hand-played rolls were intended for use on the reproducing piano and thus it was necessary throughout the recording session to accurately determine all dynamic variations in the music. Some roll manufacturers achieved this by measurement of hammer and key velocity, while others relied upon the presence of an engineer, who interpreted this aspect of the performance by ear and skilfully calculated appropriate dynamic coding for the finished roll.

Classical Net Review - Mackey - Tuck And Roll, Etc. Tuck and roll (the title alludes to the leather Homage to Thelonius Monk, a jazzpianist Mackey admires michael Tilson Thomas is hip enough to understand this http://www.classical.net/music/recs/reviews/r/rca63826a.html
Extractions: RCA Red Seal 09026-63826-2 DDD 62:11 There's not much that sounds like the music of Steven Mackey, and that's saying something. Mackey's past includes freestyle skiing, early music performance, rock bands, and providing a guitar accompaniment for his brothers' LSD trips circa 1969. (Peace, man.) Is it any wonder that, given what went in his brain, what comes out sounds like this? Imagine a Bugs Bunny cartoon jointly scored by Frank Zappa and Charles Ives, and that will give you some idea of Steve Mackey's unusual gifts. Tuck and Roll Lost and Found was heard on a Mackey CD released five years ago (Bridge 9065). The Bridge version was scored for four guitars, classical and electric. This new version is described by the composer as "a snappy five-minute toccata and fanfare for orchestra." Nothing gets in the way of the toccata's kaleidoscopic graceful but perhaps over-eager high spirits; no sooner has a color and a texture been established when Mackey replaces it with something new. The brief fanfare that follows is Rube Goldberg music, perhaps a cousin of Paul Klee's twittering machine. It disappears in the distance, presumably to wreak havoc elsewhere. Eating Greens is an orchestral work in three parts and seven sections. The first part is named for the "domestic themes" of religion (a "(Lethargical) Reformation"), food ("Waffling (sic)"), and art ("Whim and Rigor (Homage to Henri Matisse)"). The middle of these three movements is a phantasmagoric collage of "Here We Come A-Caroling" and party noise-makers, capped by the sound of a phone off its hook and the recorded message, impersonal yet vaguely threatening, of an operator. The second and third parts are named "Loose Ends" (which includes "The Title Is Almost As Long As The Piece Itself," a short but memorably vile inspiration for slack-stringed violin) and "Five Chords." The final movement, named "Drunk Monk," is subtitled "Homage to Thelonius Monk," a jazz pianist Mackey admires for his "quirky, all-thumbs style."

"It's kind of ironic that he's only been out of the band for two weeks and then this dream came true," says Sparhawk. "Now I feel bad that I told you this." Sparhawk said that a couple days ago, actually: I waited to report it until he talked to Sally. The newer news is that Karla Schickele, of the New York band Ida, will fill in on the tour.
