http://drneid.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Good Music and a Clean Conscience. One Musician's Eclectic Playlist. Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Most Intense Reading of a Vaughan Williams Piece, Ever. English Folk Song Suite. As part of our study, I recently gathered a series of clips from YouTube of various conductors leading performances of the. And then, there was this. And, let's not pass up the. Emotion in music is great, and a conductor should really love the music he or she is leading. It's good to be really dedicated to making the music live&...

Good Music and a Clean Conscience: June 2014

Good Music and a Clean Conscience. One Musician's Eclectic Playlist. Thursday, June 26, 2014. Wagner's Walkure IS Opera. A great New Yorker cartoon from a recent issue:. Seriously, a hot dog at the opera - how great would that be? What's most interesting to me is the opera in the background. A woman in a Viking hat, singing in a stark mountain scene - the opera is clearly Wagner's. The cartoonist could have chosen any of several iconic scenes to depict in the background:. Would be recognizable enough;.

Good Music and a Clean Conscience: Schoenberg for Christmas?
http://drneid.blogspot.com/2014/12/schoenberg-for-christmas.html
Good Music and a Clean Conscience. One Musician's Eclectic Playlist. Thursday, December 11, 2014. Yes, that's right - Schoenberg for Christmas. Here is yet another example of music that contradicts the popular view that Arnold Schoenberg only wrote "ugly" atonal music! This setting of Praetorius's famed choral. Es ist ein Ros. Shows the composer's compositional mastery within the tonal realm. That's not to say that isn't at least a little quirky - harmonium, anyone? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Good Music and a Clean Conscience: The Black Horn

Good Music and a Clean Conscience. One Musician's Eclectic Playlist. Tuesday, November 11, 2014. Http:/ www.npr.org/2014/11/09/361745192/the-black-horn-blowing-past-classical-musics-color-barriers. One of the tenets of European "Classical" music is that orchestral music is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, but the field remains very heavily white. Things are changing, slowly but surely, thanks to groundbreakers like Robert Lee Watt. His story is definitely worth telling.
