Richard Sparks - Music, Conducting, Choirs. Saturday, October 25, 2008. Eric Ericson birthday tribute. Sorry it has been so long since I've posted. Lots I could. Say, but little time to say it!

Eric Ericson’s Impact on the World of Choral Music. How has the choral world changed because of his work? How and why did this happen? One has to begi...

Flipping Batons: January 2013
http://flippingbatons.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 27 January 2013. What, you may ask, is a bulge? I'm tempted to say that if you are a string player and you don't know what it is, you are. But if you are not and want to find out why it drives me round the bend and what can be done about it, then read on. This is a bulge. And in this case, it is exactly what Mahler wanted the First Violins to do in the Adagietto of his 5th Symphony. How do we play it? Why does this bother me? Which leads to another question, a much more involved question. For som...

Flipping Batons: September 2012
http://flippingbatons.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Friday, 28 September 2012. Pianists - it's all in their hands, or is it? Sorry it has been such a long time since my last blog post – but here, as promised is my long-awaited post about pianists and the joys and pitfalls of working with them, with an orchestra. The joys are there for all to see! With a pianist, unless they are absurdly flamboyant, you cannot even see their hands! Yes, it would be, if it were not for problem number 2. Problem 2 is chosen what to listen to! On first hearing, you might be f...

Flipping Batons: February 2014
http://flippingbatons.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 21 February 2014. Time to bow down and pick up the baton. I have been threatening it for ages but the time has finally come – I will play my last concert as a violinist on July 2. This year, after nearly 23 years as a second violinist. So what has prompted me to stop playing and what will it mean? Quite simply put, it is something I have to do! But I have actually learned just as much from the “bad conductors”. what? Bad conductors, I hear you say? To do, now go out and do the opposite! I could n...

Music is the only savior. Why should you care? These posts are about music I love (and why I love it). It’s the stuff I want to share. Malcolm Arnold’s Guitar Concerto. A favorite since I formed my love of classical guitar. John Adams’s Concerto for Violin. A piece with the pulse and excitement of minimalism but un-minimalist in its continuous spilling of melodies. I’ve loved this music of Java and Bali for years and have been dying to share it. Rich, complex, and beautiful Lamma Bada. You are commenting...
