Afternoon Classics - Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Our program today has mostly 20th Century music in it. Some from composers who are having birthdays, Scriabin, Brubeck, and Leroy Anderson, or pieces of music that were premiered this week, except for the piano trio by Rebecca Clarke. I tried to find her viola sonata but couldn't so we will setthe for the very nice trio. She is relatively unknown but her music is well worth the effort in searching for it.
Here is a new format, Title, Composer,Artist, Orchestra or Group:
Piano Sonata No. 3, Op. 23 Alexander Scriabin Jean Louis Steuerman - piano
Piano Trio (1921) Rebecca Clarke The Newstead Trio
Fiddle Faddle Leroy Anderson Maurice Abravanel Utah Symphony Orchestra

Zorro

Zorro has been fascinating readers and viewers ever since his debut in 1919 in pulp writer Johnston McCulley’s The Curse of Capistrano. People clamored for more, and they got it when, the next year, Douglas Fairbanks became the first actor to don the trademark flowing Spanish cape, flat-brimmed Andalusian-style hat, and black cowl mask. Over 40 films, 11 television shows and now two stage shows later (and that doesn’t count the comic books, serials and computer games) , Zorro has become part of the American universal myth – everyone knows the wily fox, Zorro.

Today’s musical is the 2008 West End musical based on the 2005 Chilean author Isabel Allende's prequel, the mock biography Zorro: A Novel. Filled with swashbuckling and swordfights and falling in love, it pits Don Diego against his childhood friend Ramon, who has taken over the pueblo and has become a tyrant. The music is by the Gypsy Kings and the flamenco-based score makes you want to dance! It closed last March, but we can always hope that it comes across the pond.

Act I
Flamenco Opening - gypsies
Baila Me - Diego, Inez, gypsies
Libertad - Women of the pueblo
Hope - Diego
In one Day - Luisa and the Women of the pueblo
Feeling - Luisa
Bamboleo/There's A Tale - Inez, gypsies
Act II
Entrada - gypsies
Freedom - Inez, citizens, gypsies
Bamboleo (reprise) - Inez
Serenade- instrumental (the dance between Diego and Luisa)
A love We'll Never Live - Diego and Luisa
One More Beer - Garcia, Inez, women of the pueblo
Djobi Djobi - Inez and Luisa
Hope (reprise) - Diego
Man Behind The Mask - Luisa
Fiesta - Whole cast

Music: Gipsy Kings & John Cameron
Book and Lyrics: Stephen Clark & Helen Edmundson
• Don Diego de la Vega/Zorro – Matt Rawle.
• Luisa – Emma Williams.
• Ramon – Adam Levy.
• Inez – Lesli Margherita.
• Sergeant Garcia –
• Don Alejandro de la Vega – Jonathan Newth.


With the few minutes remaining, I want to play one more Zorro piece of music. For those of us of a certain age, our very first Zorro was presented to us by Walt Disney. Guy Williams portrayed the dashing Don Diego and swung his way into many a little girl’s heart. So, to finish off the show, we’ll listen to the theme song from the Disney TV show.

Afternoon Classics - Thursday, June 25, 2009

Gustav Mahler and Mozart, perhaps an odd combination but they do seem to fit in some ways. Mozart very definitely changed styles as he aged. It was not that he lived a long life, he didn't of course, but he did fill almost all of it with musical compositions from a very young age.

Mahler changed also, it was at a late date (he did not know that at the time) and he had to have a face to face meeting with himself before he could compose again. We shall hear two late symphonies by them today. First:

Vivaldi: La tempeste di mare, Violin Concerto RV570, Fabio Biondi and Europa Galante.

Brahms: Clarinet Sonata in F minor, Op. 120, No. 1 performed by Mitchell and Leona Lurie.

Mahler: Symphony No. 9 performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra led by Pierre Boulez.

Mozart: Symphony No. 39, K543, Raymond Leppard conducting the English Baroque Solists.

Grieg: Four Norwegian Dances, Op. 38, Raymond Leppard conducting the English Chamber Orchestra.

Ravel: Piano Concerto in G major, Michele Campanella at the piano, Gianluigi Gelmetti conducting the Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart.

Canfield: Sonata for Alto Sax and Piano (2000) Kenneth Tse - sax and Mami Nagai - piano.

Dvorak: Bagatelles, Op. 47. Virginia Black - harmonium, the Alberni String Quartet.

Afternoon Classics - Wednesday, June 24, 2009

Today is the Feast of St. John the Baptist according to many calendars in Europe and there are traditions about the Eve of St. John's Day. We have a piece of music about that for today, but to start:

Berlioz: Roman Carnival Overture, performed by the Staatskapelle Dresden led by Sir Colin Davis.

Moussorgsky: A Night on the Bare Mountain (St John's Eve on Bare Mountain) Valery Gergiev conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. (It seems weird for a summer piece but it was to mark the "middle" of summer.)

Fauré: Quartet for Piano, Violin, Viola and Cello No. 2 in G minor, Op. 45, Emmanuel Ax on the piano, Isaac Stern on the violin, Jaime Laredo on viola and Yo-Yo Ma on the cello.

Stravinsky: The Firebird, conducted by the composer with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra.

Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 6 in E minor, the London Philharmonic conducted by Bernard Haitink.

Beethoven: Romance for violin and orchestra, No. 2 in F major, Op. 50, played by violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter with Kurt Masur conducting the New York Philharmonic.

Copland: Four Dance Episodes from Rodeo, Antal Dorati conducting the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Brahms: Violin Sonata No. 1 in G, Op. 78, Itzhak Perlman on the violin and Vladimir Ashkenazy at the piano.

Stravinsky: Bluebird - Pas de Deux, the composer conducting the Columbia Symphony Orchestra.

Kick back, let it come at you in a smoothe, effortless way, through your radio. Like a psychological agent, invisible pamphlet or leaflet falling from sky or speakers to wherever you are.

A Little Bit of Broadway

Camelot

Inspired by last night's Juneau Symphony pops concert, we are listening to the 1960 Lerner and Lowe musical Camelot.

The first musical to follow the duo incredible My Fair Lady, it opened to mixed reviews, but that was to be expected. After all, how could anyone follow the practically perfect My Fair Lady with another pracically perfect musical? But Camelot is a very fine show -- with lots of memorable music. Naomi Siegel,in her New York Times review of the 2003 review, says "Camelot has it all – a beautiful English princess swept off her feet by a shy, but passionate bachelor king; an ardent French knight, torn between devotion to his liege and an uncontrollable hunger, reciprocated, to be sure, for the king's tempestuous wife.... Camelot features a score rich in English country-tune charm..."

We are listening to the original cast recording this afternoon, with
King Arthur - Richard Burton
Queen Guenevere - Julie Andrews
Sir Lancelot - Robert Goulet
Merlyn - David Hurst
Pellinore - Robert Coote

To Finish up the time....
Irving Berlin was the most American of composers, perhaps because he was an immigrant.Last night's medley just didn't touch on anywhere near enough of his musical gift to the American Songbook. Here are some of my favorites -- recorded by the original artists (and on vinyl), so it may sound a bit "noisy".

O how I hate to get up in the morning -- Irving Berlin -- from Yip, Yip, Yaphank (recorded 1942)
Mandy - Van and Schenck -- from Ziegfeld Follies of 1919(recorded 1919)
A Pretty Girl is like a melody -- John Steele from Ziegfeld Follies of 1919( (recorded 1919)
Rock a bye Baby -- Grace Moore --from the Music Box Revue(recorded 1925)
Shaking the Blues Away -- Etta James -- from Ziegfeld Follies of 1927(recorded 1927)

Wednesday Soundings 6-10-09 Jazz & Mie

Three years ago, my marriage was destroyed because the man I loved cheated. I don't mean a slip, an out town one nighter, no, a full blown, nasty office affair. And after 8 months of drunken drama, the real hard stuff of divorce and child custody began and has continued since. And the most amazing thing now? They are pretending there was no affair. But I'm not pretending, I'm not lying and I'm not going to kow tow to their unhealthy delusions. But I do still sing the blues...

Charlie Musslewhite w/ John Lee Hooker--Cheating on Me
Big Mama Thorton--I Smell a Rat
Johnny Winter--Tell The Truth
Koko Taylor--Tired of That
Studebaker John--You Done Me Wrong
Saffire--You Can Have My Husband
Studebaker John--Tell Me Why
Koko Taylor--You Ain't Worth a Good Woman
John Hammond--Baby How Long
Etta James--A Change is Gonna Do Me Good
Marcia Ball, Tracy Nelson & Irma Thomas--Yield Not To Temptation
The Holmes Brothers-- What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love & Understanding
Billie Holiday-- Mean to Me
Frank Sinatra w/ Kenny G--All the Way/One For My Baby
Ruth Brown--Destination Heartbreak
Duke Robillard--All Over But the Paying
John Hammond--Heartache Blues
Joanna Connor--Walking Blues
Stevie Ray Vaugn-Dirty Pool
Saffire--I'd Rather Be Alone
John Hammond--I'm Leaving You
Joanna Connor--You Don't Love Me
C. J. Chenier--Too Much Fun

So if you love someone, tell them so and yield not, unless you want to lose it, Be truthful, be grateful, be love, Mie.

The Optigan, or optical organ, plays samples from a transparency with sound waves printed on it, like the grooves on a record.

Well, I finished watching the awards ceremony and have the following comments:

Neil Patrick Harris did a great job – things kept moving along, the jokes were kept to a minimum but were there and mostly understandable to those of us at home (that hasn’t always been the case). His singing goodnight was great!

After watching the scene from Next to Normal, my comments when I played the cast recording several weeks ago are definitely reinforced. This is a musical that you have to see to appreciate. I was very impressed by the scene and especially by Alice Ripley. She well deserved the Tony for best actress in a musical, if that’s the kind of work she is producing 8 times a week.

I liked the way they handled the technical awards presentation. I really do understand why they don’t do it in prime time, but the announcements for those of us at home (with the listing of who was nominated, who won and a snippet of their acceptance speech) was well done. Would that we had only heard snippets from those who got their award in prime time!

The memorial. It’s not until you put them all together do you really all the wonderful theater folks we have lost in the past year. And I really liked watching the lights dim on Broadway in remembrance.

Jerry Herman rocks!!!

What didn’t I like – most especially the “mass” acceptance. Having everyone – cast, crew, producers, etc etc etc - take the stage for the acceptance speech left me irritated. And there were too many audio technical problems during the show.

The Cabaret Girl
May 31, 2009

A warm, sunny Sunday afternoon deserves fun music – farce, frolicking and just a fine time. So we are listening to Jerome Kern and P.G. Wodehouse’s delightfully silly “lost musical” The Cabaret Girl. Written in 1922 especially for Dorothy Dickson, it played for over a year in London but never made it across the pond….until these past few years, where small companies across the US have been reviving this gem.

It’s a simple story of Jim, who wants to marry Marilynn, but his aunt has to approval the marriage or he loses all his money. Marilynn is an unemployed musical comedy actress who wants fame on the London stage and does not want to be the country girl Jim wants her to be.

The plot line may read “serious” but don’t you believe it! There are lots of wonderful one-liners and patter and silly complications until, in the end, everything turns out to be “the berries”.

This recording is by the Ohio Light Opera and includes some of the dialogue! This operetta sounds and feels like pre- WWI British music hall and is one of the last of this type that Kern wrote. By 1925 Kern had met Oscar Hammerstein II, and begun work on his masterpiece – Show Boat.

Composer: Jerome Kern
Lyricist: P. G. Wodehouse
Artists: Ohio Light Opera
Label: Albany TROY1103-04
