Extractions: It all sounded too good to be true. I had just read Nagel & Newman's thrilling "Gödel's Proof," I admired Escher's art, and as a music major specializing in piano I was deeply drawn to Bach's music. I was particularly interested in canons and fugues compositions in which several interwoven melody lines all expound on a single theme. Doug was interested in all these things, and having a grand old time weaving them together into a literary work that would become a classic. We found that we shared other passions writing names so they read upside down, carving a block of wood so it casts shadows of three different letters, writing canons and fugues . Soul mate! In his time Bach was renowned as an improviser. The king asked Bach to improvise a 3-voice on the royal theme. Bach obliged. Then the king asked for a 6-voice fugue on the same theme. Bach declined he substituted a simpler theme of his own instead but several months later he sent the king a Musical Offering, which included the 3-voice fugue he had improvised, ten canons, a trio sonata, and a 6-voice fugue, all on the royal theme.

Carol Wright's Reviews Of Space Music And Electronic Music violinist karen Bently joins for the second suite, Arcadia. Two are modern chamber TheShades of Light, progresses from the calm (bentley s violin flutters http://home.comcast.net/~carol.wright/rvelctsp.htm
Extractions: Spacemusic (world flavored) Categories Electronic Music: Albums created primarily with electronic keyboards, synthesizers, MIDI instruments, sound samples, etc. This could be of a melodic nature (keyboards simulate orchestra or other instruments), fantasy , or avant garde (where the "electric" sound is more prominent, may be more abstract or even obnoxious) Spacemusic: Music intended to create some sort of spacial effect. Examples include music that sounds like an outer space trip, sounds that simulate the interior of the body or underground, and music created specificially for its trippy, mindexpanding effects. These albums often feature extended tracks. Wear headphones and place yourself between large speakers for best effect. Ambient Groove, Minimal Ambient, Ambient World: These terms are open to interpretation. Here's what I mean by them. Ambient groove would feature rhythm patterns or grooves, which could range from hypnotic to super-rapid dance beats to world music patterns. Minimal Ambient would be music to create more of a background noise texture. I leave the exact classification to the younger generation.

A ONCE-IN-A-BLUE-MOON SOPRANO FROM MOSCOW polish and excitement, under the charged leadership of violinist, recording artist withJeanrenaud and the no less remarkable karen bentley), punctuated with http://www.artssf.com/russ0561.html
Extractions: Such was the surprise encounter with unheralded 30-year-old lyric soprano Galina Muradova from Moscow, singing a Monteverdi madrigal. Her voice is angelic, suffused with the freshness of youth and the ectasy of the madrigal "Tempro la cetra"-four centuries old, but as new a discovery as if written yesterday. Like the string ensemble Moscow Academy of Ancient Music with which she appeared in San Francisco's tiny ODC Theater Feb. 26, she was making her West Coast debut, leaving the enthusiastic audience in her thrall. Though she attended both the Gnessin Music Academy as well as Vienna's Music Hochschule, and has sung at several European festivals, at this stage she doesn't even have a manager. But that should change rapidly, once this run concludes March 2 and the word gets around. This program billed as the Wired Strings Festival is a very ambitious and high-quality one, linking both the very old and very new. The 10-member Moscow Academy is also playing some contemporary Russian music under another title (Opus-Posth.) and doing it with polish and excitement, under the charged leadership of violinist, recording artist, and Artistic Director Tatiana Grindenko. Sharing the stage is the Paul Dresher Electro-Acoustic Band in cutting-edge crossover music from both the USA and Russia. Dresher, 51, is a long-standing electric guitarist whose ensembles, with amplification and processed sound, have rocked the halls here for nearly 18 years.

Extractions: ABOUT THE HELIKON ENSEMBLE The Helikon Ensemble was co-founded in 1999 by violinist Christi Meyers , cellist Laura McPheeters , flutist Chenoa Anderson , clarinettist Karen Noel-Bentley , pianist Leslie Dala , percussionist Nick Coulter and conductor Wallace Leung . Helikon's members came to Vancouver from across Canada and met by playing together in many of the city's established ensembles and institutions. They decided to form their own ensemble because they shared an interest in new music and saw a need for a mid-sized chamber group to play the worthy but often-neglected repertoire of contemporary chamber music. Helikon has presented its own concerts and collaborated with other groups in Vancouver, including the Little Chamber Music Series That Could, the Vancouver New Music Festival, the Sonic Boom festival, the UBC Opera department and Hear Me Out! Frequently including other instruments and voice in its programming has allowed Helikon to present works written for instrumentation beyond their core ensemble. Helikon's repertoire has shown a dedication to the standard repertoire of the last century and a desire to seek out new and interesting works by Canadian and international composers. Helikon has played Schoenberg and Xenakis, but also Chris Paul Harman, Cameron Wilson, Jennifer Butler, Derek Charke, and Alison Cameron.
