Review Of The Hilliard Ensemble, Guillaume De Machaut: Motets. Ecm Records, 2004, Vicki Stroeher

Music Faculty Research

The motets of Guillaume de Machaut (1300-1377), though described by one scholar as "conservative and backward-looking" because of their heavy use of French texts, nonetheless provide a rich melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic palette for the extraordinary voices of the Hilliard Ensemble. The ensemble's recording of eighteen of the twenty-three known works in this genre (a twenty-fourth exists, but its attribution is spurious), is exemplary and should delight both the medieval scholar and the casual listener.

“…a powerful reading of Beethoven’s Sonata [op. 109]….impressive interpretation of Prokofiev Sonata no. 3….his fingering showed great clarity of lines, clear as crystal …How fortunate UTEP is to have him on its music staff.” By Betty Ligon.


Review Of Trio Mediaeval, Soir, Dit-Elle, Ecm Records 2004 And Words Of The Angel, Ecm Records 2001, Vicki Stroeher May 2004

Review Of Trio Mediaeval, Soir, Dit-Elle, Ecm Records 2004 And Words Of The Angel, Ecm Records 2001, Vicki Stroeher

Music Faculty Research

This pair of discs by Trio Mediaeval offers an imaginative soundscape of music both ancient and new. Trio Mediaeval's approach to the ancient is laudable and lovely, but the contemporary compositions written specifically for this all female group seem to give them their truest voice. The older recording, Words of the Angel (2001), intersperses movements of the Tournai mass--one of the earliest manuscript compilations of polyphonic settings of the texts of the Ordinary—among monophonic laudae and English Marian motets and sequences. The various styles provide textural and harmonic relief, a real concern in a completely unaccompanied recording. The recording takes …

Review Of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Christus, Kirchenwerke Iii, Kammerchor 2004 Stuttgart, Bamberger Symphoniker, Frieder Bernius, Conductor. Carus-Verlag, 1987., Vicki Stroeher Feb 2004

Review Of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Christus, Kirchenwerke Iii, Kammerchor 2004 Stuttgart, Bamberger Symphoniker, Frieder Bernius, Conductor. Carus-Verlag, 1987., Vicki Stroeher

Music Faculty Research

Carus-Verkag, Frieder Bernius, and the Stuttgarter Kammerchor have produced a number of impressive recordings to serve as companions to their impeccable printed editions of valuable, but seldom performed, choral works. Mendelssohn's music has been championed in at least six of these recordings, and showcases an undeniably rich output that until now has received scant attention. The present disc aims to reverse that fortune. Christus features three early works from 1822 to 1825, when the composer was just thirteen to sixteen years old, along with late works from 1843 and 1847. Even the earliest of these works provides evidence of Mendelssohn's …

Making The Scene: An Investigation Of The Rock And Roll Scenes Of Nashville, Tennessee, And Athens, Georgia, Kevin Jones Murphy Jan 2004

Making The Scene: An Investigation Of The Rock And Roll Scenes Of Nashville, Tennessee, And Athens, Georgia, Kevin Jones Murphy

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Making the Scene: An Investigation of the Rock and Roll Scenes of Nashville, Tennessee, and Athens, Georgia, takes a look at the ways in which both the identities of a music scene and the individuals taking part in that scene are created and maintained. Issues of identity are addressed by examining the roles performed by various members of the scene (musicians, soundmen, club owners, etc . . .), by focusing on the influence of landscape, and looking at the ways a scene’s members identify with the cultural region that surrounds their particular scene (in this case both scenes are located …

Berlín Era Una Festa: Capllonch Vist Pels Seus Contemporanis A Alemanya, Antoni Pizà

Publications and Research

A principis del segle XX, Berlín i París eren, segons Joaquim Nin Castellanos, ciutats “a l’avantguarda dels països musicals”. Segons ell, les institucions culturals alemanyes eren admirables per la seva solidesa, però entenia i es resignava a acceptar que el futur de les arts passava per París. “París o Berlín?”, es devien demanar aleshores elsjoves artistes amb aspiracions mentre preparaven l’imprescindible viatge a l’estranger per conèixer aquesta “avantguarda”.

La Tradicion Pianistique Argentine, Oscar E. Macchioni

Oscar Macchioni

See "Avec la Pologne," pages 5 and 6 of the PFD document (pages 92-93 of original). This article features the most relevant Argentine leaving pianists, where they were trained and where they live today.

"Macchioni, dont les concerts récents incluen aussi bien Beethoven que Chopin au Ginastera, Guastavino et Castro, incarne parfaitement le mouvement syncrétique "américain."
