Aaron Copland - Appalachian Spring Suite (original version for 13 instruments) 1970

"Collaboration with Martha Graham brought Copland’s name to a larger public. Originally titled Ballet for Martha and commissioned by Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, this ballet won the Music Critics Circle Award. The orchestral suite garnered a Pulitzer Prize and soon became a beloved staple of orchestras worldwide. After Bernstein conducted the Suite in 1946, he wrote to his friend: “I manage somehow to borrow some of that fantastic stability of yours, that deep serenity. It is really amazing how the clouds lift with that last page.” It was not until Copland's seventieth birthday that he revived the original thirteen instrument version of Appalachian Spring. Such is the demand for this piece that the full ballet score has also been made available. In whatever format, this music, with its sensitive use of the Shaker tune, "The Gift To Be Simple," has an intimacy and beauty that the public has taken directly to its heart."

Berio - 34 Duetti per due violini (1979-83)
มุมมอง 7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
"Berio began his 34 Duets (1979-1982) as a set of exercises in the spirit of Bartók's Mikrokosmos, i.e. pieces that would offer an opportunity for inexperienced players to perform music in a contemporary idiom while unhindered by undue technical difficulty. While some of the Duets fall within this scope, Berio's focus broadens in a number of the pieces to include personal, social, and cultural ...

Camille Saint-Saens - Bénédiction Nuptiale (Op.9)
มุมมอง 6934 ปีที่แล้ว
"Saint-Saens’ Bénédiction Nuptiale was written while he served as organist at the La Madeleine church from 1857. His Op. 9 is a short, quiet piece presumably intended to be played at some quiet point in a wedding ceremony (maybe that of Madam la marquise de Mornay to whom it is dedicated). What Saint-Saens does use is the then newly installed "voix céleste" manual on the church’s organ for a sl...

"As found in Saint-Saens' Opus 1, this piece features that mainstay of Victorian drawing rooms - the Harmonium. The domestic organ that had quite a lot of music written for it at around this time, but precious little since. It has an interesting sound, making the piece worth a listen, despite it being so rarely performed. One strange aspect of these pieces is what audience were they written for...

Glorious, will be performing it Sunday 1/12/2025, cant wait!
Its pretty neat but it makes my head ache after a while. I really like the train inspired part of the piece, I like that more than the "audio gimmick". I get the impression that there are two *very good* pieces inside of this one piece- one, the train one, and the other one, the audio one.
One of the most beautiful compositions of all time. Mr. Copland captured the absolute essence and life of a beautiful Spring day in the Appalachians. I’ve been in that part of the world many times over the decades. Mere words aren’t enough. Moved to tears every time I hear and or perform this piece, both in this exquisite chamber version and the full orchestra ensemble edition. Honored to be performing it again in January 2025! ❤
First part is like autumnn (fall), second is winter and third is like spring and early summer.

Hi! Is this score the original instrumentation? Where can one find it?
True masterpiece
La fuga finale è chiaramente un richiamo all’Eroica di Beethoven

Never fails to blow my mind each listen. All hail Steve Reich!
Presumably it's still in copyright
Worst song ive heard in my entire life and i hate steve reich. (No disrespect to the holocaust)
This is a true work of art. Creative, emotionally impactful, carefully and expertly crafted. One of my all time favorites. Thank you Steve Reich!
When I was a student at the Royal College of Music in London in the late 1970's, I remember one of the lecturers citing Saent-Saens as an example of how not all gifted musicians make good composers. He said "..Saent-Saens had all the gifts of Mozart, but he just had nothing to say". I have never had cause to contest that opinion.
sounds great, what band and what conductor, where and when???❓❓
9:06 to 11:10
can someone post the df of the score?
degree of freedom?
steve reich's music is always fascinating to me
Confused Crap.

anyone has the score for this? can't seem to find it on IMSLP
It is still under copyright. You will have to buy the score or order it through Interlibrary loan at your library.
Man this is incredible music!!
3:33 6:12
Kinda sounds like a train, wonder if that was intentional
It was
Obviously lol
This is not corny, it is poetry.
cam here after brahms 4. I hear brahms 4.
am i crazy?
Yes
I’ve always loved this music, stupendous, pure.
Craziest version ever ❤🤯
8:08 or so, I've always wanted to see a pianist playing those RH octaves live. Good lord that's fast.
One of the first Reich pieces I heard 30 odd years ago. I loved the train sounds, the rhythms including paradiddles, using voice speech patterns as the melody (Reich explains he did this to create authenticity), the choice of words. But most of all I find it intensely moving - especially the 3rd movement. Reich is a genius and has written many great works - this is one of his very best.
Ok
thank you!
thank you for your service
Fantastic ...Reminds of Watching Whitewater Sam
Just now reading “Symphony for the City of the Dead” by MT Anderson. Shostakovich wrote this Opus at age 15 following the untimely death of his father. Very well explained in the “….more” section of the video.
I’m reading it as well! Just got to that part of the book, it’s truly sad.
Imagine trying to conduct this. Just when you think you've handled the tempo changes you have to deal with a rogue bar of 5/8, or keep time through a long section felt in 6/8.
Luckily the piece requires no conductor, just a tape the quartet can listen to.
Sublime. Je ne connaissais pas cette version orchestrale...Merci pour la découverte. ❤
I wasn’t ready for the final section. I’m overwhelmed especially given the unfortunate cyclical nature of things.
Well done! Thank you for sharing!
Was planning to do a score video for this, pleased to see I do not need to! Many thanks for uploading.
Hey Sohan, thanks for sharing scores on your channel. I have hard times finding contemporary scores on internet do you have some tips about your sources ? Best regards. Paul
Fascinating initially. Ultimately irritating. As with just about all Reich's work.
You finding this irritating says more about you than the piece.
@@alexbonahue3322 I suppose so. The irony is that I was among the first to compose "minimalist" music. But I soon felt the need to broaden my horizons.
@@victorgrauer5834 I thought this guy was a troll but did some research - he's not lying!
I like Steve Reich and I was not prepared for the genuine emotional weight of this piece.
quite delicious......
Straight up lovely!
Every time I hear this piece I find more to love about it
