"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 ...

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...

    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! ❤

    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.

    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.
