Which 20th century composers would you have been most fascinated to meet? Would you like Shostakovich or Schoenberg?

All of them!!! All of them. All of these dear Kinder, all of them. To teach them, speak with them, ach... Yes... Of course... All the great atonals and theoretical musicologists, musicians... All of them, I would expose to them my lost essay on harmony and atonality... I would love them all... Messiaen seems closer but Ach, Schoenberg and Berg, Webern... Prokofiev... Paart, Alma Deutscher, I would tell her to slow down... But these are contemporary. Anyways, yes! All which you suggest, for perhaps that music that does not entice me then I would change my view of if able to understand better the composer. But all of the atonals one! Atonality!!!

On the Spectrum Classical channel, Eduard Tubin Symphony No 3.  I well remember playing it with Chris, who, I’ve mentioned before, was fearless.  Quick, how many Estonian composers can you name?  Arvo Paart...quite a contrast between the two.  

The insurrectionists, one hundred eighty or so arrested by now, are shown great leniency.  Had any of them been Black it would have been quite different.  One lady from Texas spoke with great pride about having been with a group that knocked down Nancy Pelosi’s door (so she says) and stolen the Speaker’s gavel.  She asked that prior to her hearing she be allowed to take a little trip to Mexico.

Melting snow.  Now a big mess. 

Miss QAnon recants.  Says 9/11 was real, after all.  Says the school shootings weren’t staged.  She is kicked off the committees (one of which was education) she was to serve on. 

Trump’s lawyers intend to make quick work of the impeachment.  In the meantime Trump is seething down in Florida, Twitterless...

Up early and off to the East Side for Covid test, in preparation for the big test that is coming next week.  

The QAnon lady gives a sarcastic, uh...something like a press conference.  She is the new face of the Republican Party.  Says the party belongs to Trump.  Gives reporters a hard time, especially the lady from CNN.  (”Who are you and who are you with?”)  Says not serving on any committees will give her more free time.  (For what, pray tell?)  One remembers Steve King...kicked off the committees because he said white supremacy wasn’t such a bad thing.  Miss QAnon is emboldened by all of this and loving the attention.  And, down in Florida, Trump is loving it too.. 

In having to take back some of her more outrageous statements Ms QAnon, now the face of the Republican party, said: “I was allowed to believe things that weren’t true.”  

Trump’s lawyers say they will make quick work of this second impeachment business..  

Pugnacious Lou Dobbs is taken off the air.  Maybe some other Fox Friends will be also.  This for continuing to promote the election tally hoax (Trump’s landslide victory.)

Una tradizione che si rinnova

  FABRIANO, 8 maggio 2018 – Armonie di voci per accogliere la bella stagione. Torna il concerto di primavera del Coro Polifonico Vox Nova.

Questa sera, a partire dalle ore 21.15, sarà la chiesa della Misericordia ad ospitare un viaggio nella musica più colta e raffinata. Due parti: la prima quasi esclusivamente musica sacra, mentre la seconda sarà dedicata ad alcuni compositori contemporanei. Nella prima parte spazio per il “Qui tollis” a sei voci di Antonio Lotti, e sempre dello stesso autore , il celebre “Crucifixus” a otto voci.

La seconda parte si aprirà con due brani di compositori contemporanei, l’estone Arvo Paart e il norovegese Ola Gjeilo. Omaggio poi alle “rarità” con “La Città Morta”, capolavoro dimenticato del compositore austriaco Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Spazi anche per la musica “leggera”, con la canzone “Only you” di Vincent John Martin, e con “Can’t help falling in love”. Quest’ultima sarà caratterizzata da un arrangiamento a cinque voci.

Il concerto terminerà con l’esecuzione del “Benedictus” tratto dal Requiem di Gounod,  autore che il coro Vox Nova vuole ricordare nel duecentesimo anniversario della nascita.

Il coro sarà diretto dal Maestro Alberto Signori, che ha scelto due bellissime voci soliste: quella del soprano Teona Dvali, squisita interprete sia di opera che di musica da camera, e quella del giovane tenore Giovanni Sebastiano Sala, che sarà tra l’altro protagonista (il principe Tamino) quest’estate del Flauto Magico di Mozart allo Sferisterio di Macerata.

Al pianoforte Claudia Foresi, già docente presso l’Accademia della Scala di Milano e collaboratrice fissa dello Sferisterio di Macerata. La Foresi, nonostante al momento sia impegnata in un allestimento wagneriano in Austria, ha accettato comunque volentieri di  partecipare al concerto del Vox Nova anche in virtù delle prorpie origini fabrianesi.

Serata ad ingresso libero.

Pilot Pirx's Test (1979).

Based on a story by Stanislaw Lem, original music by Arvo Pärt.

Director Marek Piestrak, interviewed by Ewa Mazierska:

One of the most distinctive aspects of Pirx is the music. Its author is Arvo Pärt, the most famous Estonian composer. How was Pärt persuaded to write the score? MP: He did not need persuasion—he was very happy to do it, perhaps because he was not as famous then as he is now. But we should begin by saying that the score was the responsibility of the Estonian partners and they simply suggested Pärt to me and I was more than happy with their choice. Consequently, Pärt and I met to discuss the score. I did not want to—and neither did I need to—give him precise instructions. However, we agreed at the very beginning that the music needs to be "electronic" to have an "out of this world" feel, but at the same time have a distinct melody, unlike, for example, dodecaphonic experiments of the early Krzysztof Penderecki. And Pärt fulfilled his assignment brilliantly.
