Coming Up – Sousa’s El Capitan
…t 3-minute marches who railed against padding of musical material actually compose a really good 2-hour operetta? And are the tunes in the El Capitan march actually in the operetta? The answer is yes, Sousa could compose a really good operetta. This was by far his biggest stage hit, running for 4 years in a row in New York and on national tours. The famous El Capitan march contains some of the best tunes from the show, of course, but there’s lots… Continue reading
MakeMusic Universal File Format Comes to SmartMusic
…he SmartMusic applications for Windows, Mac, and iPad to open SmartMusic accompaniments in both the new file format (.smpx) and the old file format (.smp). Because the new file format is both forward and backward compatible, we will no longer have these incompatibilities between Finale and SmartMusic versions. The current version of SmartMusic will be able to read accompaniments created in future versions of Finale. Just as before, the current ver… Continue reading

Coming Up: Mason Bates’ Mass Transmission
…l under the baton of Resident Conductor Donato Cabrera. After this opening work comes the premiere of John Adams’ Absolute Jest with the St. Lawrence String Quartet as soloists. After intermission comes Morton Feldman’s Piano and Orchestra with Emmanuel Ax as soloist, and finally Edgard Varèse’s Amériques, the concert’s “golden oldie.” Michael Tilson Thomas will conduct the San Francisco Symphony in these three works. It will be an amazing concert… Continue reading

Coming Up: Debussy
…ny. We’re doing the full incidental music in a semi-staged production. The work becomes a multi-media pageant complete with narrator, soloists, chorus, and orchestra. If you’ve seen SFS semi-staged productions before, you know they can make remarkable use of the Davies Symphony Hall space. You can see the projections in the publicity photo above, but there’s more to the staging than that. Anne Patterson is the director and designer; Michael Tilson… Continue reading
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
…i 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 and foreboding – in this case, the desperation in the plea to be saved. In this week’s rehearsals we have… 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
Coming Up: Turandot
…he chance to perform it as part of a volunteer chorus may well be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The same is true for the chance to see and hear it in an intimate 425-seat house. I haven’t actually run the numbers on this, but it usually seems like an opera chorus is on stage for maybe 1/4 or 1/3 of an opera. Sometimes, as in the case of the Mozart / Da Ponte operas – or Puccini’s own Madama Butterfly – the percentage of stage time is much less…. Continue reading
