It is sweltering in the north-west Parisian suburb of La Frette-sur-Seine on the afternoon I arrive to meet the performer known once again as "Chilly" Gonzales. Behind an unmarked iron gate lies a rambling, 19th-century manor house, converted into a residential recording studio in the late 60s by French producer Eddie Barclay.
It is currently home to Gonzales and the singer Leslie Feist, who are working on the follow-up to her million-selling album The Reminder. "Welcome to paradise," says the newly clean-shaven Gonzales as he shows me inside. "We did one big grocery shop when we arrived and we're not going to leave all week. " The studio seems more suited to Feist's ethereal beauty than it is to him. "I can live in a shithole and work in a shithole," he tells me later. Outside on a roof terrace, it's even hotter than before, but "Gonzo" is wearing what look suspiciously like tartan slippers. Ivory Tower, his new album, although arguably his poppiest yet, is characteristically strange.

The performance of the organ version at St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt, Germany, began in 2001 and is scheduled to have a duration of 639 years, ending in 2640. History[edit] The piece was commissioned for a piano competition by The Friends of the Maryland Summer Institute for the Creative and Performing Arts as a contemporary requirement. Cage employed an open format mainly to ensure that no two performances would be the same, providing the judges a break from the monotony of most compositions. [citation needed] The score consists of eight pages. Performances[edit] On February 5, 2009, Diane Luchese performed "Organ²/ASLSP" from 8:45 AM to 11:41 PM in the Harold J. On September 5, 2012, as part of John Cage Day at the University of Adelaide, Australia, Stephen Whittington performed an 8-hour version of ASLSP on the Elder Hall organ.

Art music (also known as serious music,[1] erudite music,[2] or legitimate music[3][4] (often shortened to legit music)),[5] is an umbrella term used to refer to musical traditions implying advanced structural and theoretical considerations[6] and a written musical tradition.[7] The notion of art music is a frequent and well defined musicological distinction, e.g., referred to by musicologist Philip Tagg as one of an "axiomatic triangle consisting of 'folk', 'art' and 'popular' musics. "[8] He explains that each of these three is distinguishable from the others according to certain criteria.[8] The main tradition in the Western world is usually called classical music.
In this regard, it is frequently used as a contrasting term to popular music and traditional or folk music.[7][9][10] The term also covers non-Western classical traditions such as Chinese classical music and Traditional Japanese music.

At parties when conversation lags a little, my new favourite trick is to ask people what musical instruments they used to play at school. In any gathering of twenty- and thirty-somethings it seems it would be quite easy to assemble an orchestra of former youth musicians.
One recent dinner I was at included an ex-cellist (me), a retired violist, a former clarinettist, and two erstwhile French horn players who compared distressing tales of various lip ailments that they'd acquired through strenuous blowing efforts. We had all, it was evident, devoted many hours of our youth sweating and crying and occasionally bleeding (I often injured myself on the pegs while changing my cello strings) over our instruments, attaining a variety of accolades and grades, performing in youth orchestras - the whole shebang.
Our instruments formed a large part of our identities as teenagers. Mine is no doubt a classic case. A big part of me really misses playing the cello, but I'm not sure how to do it again.

Soundings: A Contemporary Score is the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York’s first major exhibition devoted exclusively to sound art. On a design level, curating a show like this requires a kind of synesthetic thinking: How do you visually represent audio? And in a gallery space, a venue purpose-built for the sense of sight? The 16 featured artists cover an intriguing range of conceptual solutions to this problem.
Curator Barbara London tells Co.Design that, in a year and a half of planning the exhibition, "We really thought a lot about the design of the space. People tend to go through museums lickety split, so we wanted to inhabit it in a way that would make visitors slow down. " They had to take a moment to stop and listen. At the exhibition’s entrance is Tristan Perich’s Microtonal Wall, in which 1,500 one-bit speakers are installed in rows, each individually tuned to a distinct pitch.
The show is laid out to isolate individual pieces, preventing noise bleed. Theodor W. Adorno. 5 Bizarre Dark Sides to Modern Orchestras. Most people think of the orchestra as a hoity-toity elevator music club invented for your granny's listening pleasure. And while it's true that most members of their audiences are probably knocking on death's door , playing in one must still be an honorable, noble profession, right? But like all forms of music, the orchestra has a the seedy underbelly of drugs, horrific injuries and low pay. #5.

But I’d think that the aging of the classical music audience — over just about a 50-year period — is a very strong sign that our culture has shifted.
And shifted away from classical music. But about the age of the audience. For many years, most of us thought that the classical audience has always been old. But that’s not the case. Surveys done in past generations – going back to the ’60s and earlier — show an audience much younger than the one we have now, an audience with a median age in its thirties. So here’s the true picture. So I think the audience aged because the culture changed. I highly recommend you to read the rest of the post at ... hange.html Most of what I read on the subject in various studies and articles over a few years and continents, suggests that older generations of classical music audiences are, in general, no longer replaced by new ones...

Three hundred years ago we danced and ate to art music. Journeys through Music: a video series by Ezra Donner. Is Classical music scary? Here are the facts: it takes years of training to play Classical music at a high level, the instruments are expensive, and Classical music has a history of being associated with "rich folk". But I believe that anyone can find things to enjoy in the great works of Western art music, and you don't have to be able to read music or know anything about Classical music to get started. All you need is an open mind, an open heart, and two open ears. In this series of YouTube videos, I'm going to take you on a journey through some of the best-loved works of Western music in plain English. I'll play the piano and talk about some of the things that I think are so great about some of my favorite pieces of music. The biggest challenge with this project is time.
But this is a project I believe in and I can't think of a better thing for me to be doing right now.

In 2007 Alex Ross wrote the seminal book The Rest Is Noise – listening to the Twentieth Century. Throughout 2013 we bring the book alive, with nearly 100 concerts, performances, films, talks and debates. We take you on a chronological journey through the most important music of the 20th century and dramatise the century’s massive political and social upheavals. The London Philharmonic Orchestra, with over 30 concerts, is the backbone of this festival, which reveals the stories behind the rich, exhilarating and sometimes controversial compositions that have changed the way we listen forever. 'The Rest Is Noise views 20th-century music through the prism of history with its revolutions and counter-revolutions, its major moral and philosophical upheavals around race, gender, faith, political credo and pacifism – and its new relationship to technology and artistic democracy.’
SXSW: Where Rockers Meet, 'Indie Classical' Gains a Foothold. Under Zambello, Glimmerglass festival creating a new musical community. A festival, according to this template, is a place where artists gather, experiment with different kinds of performances, and learn from and train each other and the audience. This is the “company” aspect of Zambello’s work, and some of these precepts — and some of these artists — will be making their way to the Washington National Opera in future seasons. (Three of the young artists from Glimmerglass will join the Domingo-Cafritz program at WNO next year; one Domingo-Cafritz alumna is a Glimmerglass young artist this summer.)
Accompanying these laudable goals is a streak of pragmatism — necessary, perhaps, to be able to afford to get all this on stage. One example: putting on a Broadway show means you need some singers who can dance, so you add singing dancers to your apprentice program and then find other things for them to do. A pragmatic intermission And here, perhaps, is a weak link in a generally likeable and well-meaning festival. Serviceable ‘Dutchman’ AMADÉUS LEOPOLD. Amadéus Leopold.

It was intended to consist of 24 chamber-music compositions, each representing one hour of the day, with a different colour systematically assigned to every hour. The cycle was not yet finished when the composer died, so that the last three "hours" are lacking. The 21 completed pieces include solos, duos, trios, a septet, and Stockhausen's last entirely electronic composition, Cosmic Pulses, and they bear the work (opus) numbers 81–101.
After having spent 27 years composing the opera-cycle Licht (1977–2004), Stockhausen felt he was shifting his focus from the visible world of the eyes—Licht is the German word meaning "light", as of the stars, the sun—to the invisible world of the ears.
