Coming Up: Brahms and Schütz
…motets on the Koch International label – now out of print, but available from used stores at Amazon and elsewhere. What a beautiful recording, conducted by the late Craig Smith. It includes several motets composed to texts that Brahms also used in A German Requiem. It’s a fun challenge to combine the very different vocal and choral styles needed by Schütz and Brahms in the same concert…. Continue reading
Coming Up: Verdi Requiem
…for the San Francisco Symphony Chorus’s performances of the Verdi Requiem, coming up next week. The Verdi Requiem turns out to be one of music notation’s record holders. No other work in common Western music notation has more augmentation dots on a note than the 4 dots Verdi uses in setting “Salva me” in the Rex tremendae portion of the Sequence: This is one of many cases of a stuttering rhythm in the Sequence, helping to convey a sense of fear an… Continue reading

Coming Up: Mahler, Duruflé, Beethoven
…nus Dei, a choral transcription of his Adagio for Strings, was done by the composer. The rest were arranged by others, including a beautiful 16-part a cappella version of Mahler’s Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen. Ragnar Bohlin will conduct; he also arranged the Schubert and Schumann songs that we’ll perform with our wonderful pianist, Matthew Edwards. Tickets are available online and at the Davies Symphony Hall box office. The San Francisco Sym… Continue reading

…e sold out for all four performances, but you can contact the West Bay Opera box office or show up at the door to see if there might be some last-minute tickets available.

MusicXML in Commercial Applications
…al displays are based on the MusicXML format. In contrast, MuseBook Score (www.musebook.com) from AMuseTec Co., Ltd., is the first commercial product to use a symbolic music representation, the MusicXML format, to present repertory on an electronic music stand (Figure 1.4). The initial version of MuseBook Score, released in 2004, displayed MusicXML files of piano music on a Windows PC, then “listened” to a performance of the piece. The performance… Continue reading

Coming Up: The Barber of Seville
Next weekend I will be singing in the chorus of Rossini’s The Barber of Seville at Fremont Opera. Jonathon Field is stage director and David Sloss is conductor. This is the same artistic team that I have performed with in Mahagonny and The Rake’s Progress at West Bay Opera. The publicity describes this as a semi-staged production, but as far as I can see the only semi- is the absence of full sets and costumes. The staging for both principals and… Continue reading

Coming Up: Ravel and Bernstein at San Francisco Symphony
…nclude last month’s Spring Choral Concert, but that was the reduced instrumentation for organ, harp, and percussion. With full orchestra it is even more glorious. The Ravel of course is one of the most beautiful works ever written. The Suite No. 2 that is often done comes from the third act of the ballet. In this concert we are doing the entire wonderful score. Performances are May 19, 20, 21 and 23 at Davies Symphony Hall. The weekday concerts ar… Continue reading
Coming Up: Swedish Choral Music at San Francisco Symphony
…ly consonant conclusion as the journey ends. This score is also a textbook example of how to write dissonant counterpoint for a chorus. In the Music at MIT Oral History interviews, John Bavicchi expounded on this very topic – which he is quite expert on as both a composer and chorus conductor. The techniques that Bavicchi describes are just what you hear used in the Lidholm – such as starting with a unison / consonance and going from there to the… Continue reading
