Blitzstein blitzkrieg
Robert Gable reports on the Marc Blitzstein centenary tribute at Other Minds in San Francisco, or, more accurately, reports on a Financial Times review by Allan Ulrich that I don't want to go through the "15-day free trial" rigmarole to read. Writes Ulrich: "In Sarah Cahill's committed performance, the West Coast premiere of the unpublished 1929 Piano Percussion Music heralded a sophisticated musician, attuned to the emotive power of dissonance, the imitative capabilities of the traditional keyboard, a grounding in ornamentation and, in the repeated closing of the keyboard cover, a taste for the dadaist flourishes of the day." The piano-lid gambit recalls Hans Stuckenschmidt's First Piano Sonata, which caused a mild uproar at a Novembergruppe concert of "stationary music" in 1927. At the end of that work, the pianist (Stefan Wolpe, on this occasion) used the right pedal to trigger a mechanism that brought the piano lid down "from a moderate height." So Stuckenschmidt discloses in his memoir Born to Hear — he was eventually more famous as a critic and biographer.

The Piano music of Ruth Crawford and Johanna Magdalena Beyer Sarah Cahill, pianist Ruth Crawford and Johanna Beyer Ruth Crawford and Johanna Beyer knew each other well. Crawford called Beyer "Hannah Beyer name a piece Dissonant Counterpoint . Both women favored clear, monothematic forms (like Crawford"s towering Study in Mixed Accents Sacco, Vanzetti becoming the introspective elipiticality of Beyer"s landmark mid-1930s percussion music. Of all the early percussion music composers, Beyer is unique is approaching the ensemble quietly , as in the almost mystical IV and the Three Movements Beyer"s musical world is only recently becoming clear and familiar to us, whereas Ruth Crawford"s has become well-known over the past 20 years. Only as Beyer"s music begins to be performed and recorded will we understand its true historical importance. For example, Beyer"s 2nd String Quartet String Quartet (which has already earned its place, thank goodness), each movement uses a direct, single formal idea. But where Crawford explores cumulative processes and palindromic devices, Beyer unifies her work with Papageno"s lament for a missing soulmate. In Ruth Crawford"s case, it was many years before musicians saw that the third movement of her quartet, which had always been quite famous, was not anomalous in her output. It was one of many such works of similar genius. Even

Section 1 (Variations I - XVII) Section 2 (Variations XVIII - XXXV) Section 3 (Variations XXXVI - LI) (There will be a very short "stretch" break before sections 2 and 3.) Lonesome Road (The Crawford Variations) is a set of variations on Ruth Crawford's harmonization of the folk song of the same name. Her arrangement was published in Carl Sandburg's The American Songbag (1927). The work is in three sections of 17 variations each. The variations in the middle section (XVIII; XXXIV) are generally longer and more developed than those in the outer sections. In many cases, corresponding variations in the three sections are related, and have similar structures (Variation I is related to XVIII, which is related to XXXV). Sections 1 and 3 are each about 20 minutes long, section 2 about 40 minutes. Lonesome Road (The Crawford Variations) was composed over the course of one year spent in Indonesia (June 1988; June 1989), where I assisted my wife Jody Diamond in her work with Indonesian experimental composers. Many of these composers' ideas somehow found their way into this work, but I can no longer remember how (except in the case of B. Subono, a Central Javanese composer after whom two of the variations were named).

New Music: Piano Compositions by Henry Cowell
a review by hilary robinson of
release format New Music: Piano Compositions by Henry Cowell by Henry Cowell (CD Album)
text
Henry Cowell was an incredibly prolific, influential composer who helped to shape the musical landscape of twentieth century America and beyond. New Music: Piano Compositions by Henry Cowell is a live recording drawn from a three-day festival entitled, "Cowell and his Legacy", which took place at UC Berkeley in early 1997 to mark the centenary of his birth and to demonstrate some of the consequences of his pianistic innovations for his contemporaries, students and successors. And as Sarah Cahill notes in the liner, "The only trick was deciding what to leave out". Four front-rank musicians (Cahill is one) from Bay Area Pianists and Cal Performers play works here selected from the festival's three gargantuan concerts in which Cowell's piano music was programmed alongside that of Cage, Lou Harrison, Ruth Crawford, and more, with a sprinkling of newly commissioned works by Terry Riley and Meredith Monk to name but two. Pianist/composer/electro musician Chris Brown opens with the dissonant

2004 LIT MOON
WORLD THEATER FESTIVAL
Now in its 12th year, the Lit Moon Theatre Company is recognized both here and abroad for its adventurous, highly physicalized stagings of classic novels and plays. Writing about the company's production of Hamlet , seen at the Montreal's Wildside Festival in January 2004, Montreal Gazette theater critic Matt Radz, writes, "the company's style, melding the rigors of physical theater with classic text, makes them pioneers, if not unique." Fresh on the heels of its sold-out, standing-room-only performances of Hamlet at the 8th Shakespearean Festival in Gdansk, Poland, the company returns home to Santa Barbara as part of the 2004 Lit Moon World Theater Festival. Founded in 1998, the festival has offered, in the words of Santa Barbara Independent critic D. J. Palladino, "an unrelenting window into the world of theatrical possibility."

of
Gideon Lewensohn I n first listening to and attempting to form a point of view of the four works by the Israeli composer Gideon Lewensohn that are collected on the ECM CD “Odradek,” it was evident to me that it was going to be an difficult endeavor. Lewensohn is not easily categorized. The mystery of the pieceslike the mystery of the character “Odradek,” who is from a Kafka tale and is a creature that is “extremely illusive and hard to catch” and even harder to say exactly what it is—remains somewhere just out of reach of the usual musical analysis. The title piece, the "Odradek Quartet," is made up of 17 distinct fragments inspired by the Kafka story. As with all art, a large part of the process of understanding and relating to it comes from one’s own point of view, with one’s own ideas about it. How you form a relationship to it is a primary element and function of art and music; same difference. So my first feeling was to throw out all the rhetoric and just say that this is some of the most fascinating music that I have heard. It is accessible and yet it takes some time to even get a grip on (especially the quartet). You can listen to it a few times before you actually get into it.

June 5-7 2003: Berkeley
I heard three of the five concerts composing the first Edge Festival in U.C. Berkeley's Hertz Hall: a program devoted to Terry Riley Friday night; one given to improvisations by Steve Lacy, George Lewis, and David Wessel late Saturday night; and a retrospective of the late Lou Harrison Sunday afternoon. (Imissed two other concerts: one of music by faculty composers Thursday night, another of music by John Adams and Ingram Marshall early Saturday night.)
I didn't go to these concerts with the intention of "reviewing" them, so I won't be very specific. But some things were memorable: Terry Riley's Cinco de Mayo (1997) for piano four hands, magnificently played by Joseph Kubera and Sarah Cahill, and his Ritmos and Melos written ten years ago for the Abel-Steinberg-Winant Trio who played brilliantly, as they always do. (It was fascinating to watch Julie Steinberg, as fine a pianist as I know, turning pages for Kubera and Cahill, beaming with pleasure at their performance and Riley's music, and then bringing even more personality and substance from the instrument when she took her own turn.)
A Rainbow in Curved Air brought the early 1970s back in all their hypnotic mindlessness, and the premiere of

With any conventional piano, a hammer drops on string, and sound is produced. Well, perhaps not always, for on this edition of New Sounds, there are some unusual approaches to noisemaking at the piano, including ebow, electronic processing, and overdubs, although not all at once. Hear the eerie and theremin-like, yet somehow evil-sounding ebow (a little magnet which produces a sustain) on piano strings with Maggi Payne’s work “Holding Patterns,” performed live in the WNYC studio by pianist Sarah Cahill. Also listen to Charles K. Noyes’ processed piano music; and the “string” piano, or the insides of the piano, as Margaret Leng-Tan plays John Cage’s “In the Name of the Holocaust.”

JEWISH LIFE
Two Centenarian Pianist-Composers
Paid Tribute in Concert and on CD
Leo Ornstein and Paul Ben-Haim Honored
It has been something of a perennial joke over the last decade or so, as more and more people have discovered the Russian-American Jewish composer Leo Ornstein, noted his birthdate of 1892 or '93, and concluded that he must be dead but when did he die? The answer, incredible to report, was that until February 24, 2002, he was still alive, which makes him probably the longest-lived musician in recorded history.
Not even mentioned in William Austin's until-recently definitive Music in the 20th Century , Ornstein enjoyed a vogue from about 1913 to 1925, the year of his magnum opus, the Piano Concerto. He then pretty much disappeared from the public eye, teaching in Philadelphia until his retirement in 1953, though composing (mostly piano music) well into his nineties.
Writer Carl Van Vechten was one of his early champions, critic Olin Downes raved about the Concerto, and Ornstein's piano performances introduced U.S. audiences to major works of Ravel, Busoni, Scriabin, and Schoenberg. Yet only recently has his music been receiving the attention it deserves.
Stylistically it has always perplexed, because of its eclectic, yet organic, combination of impressionistic textures, extended chromaticism, modal exoticism, and energizing tone clusters, often all in the same piece.

KYLE GANN (music performed by Sarah Cahill) long night Cold Blue Music
Review by Bill Binkelman long night long night is not particularly sad or dark, yet it's not happy, joyful, or bright either. On the other hand, it is not overly abstract, distant, cold or concerned with itself. I heard a distinct human connectedness between music and performer at almost all times (admittedly, some of the more adventurous passages lean more toward the intellectual than the soulful). Mostly, long night felt like the soundtrack to late urban nights, looking out over the city below as lights wink on and off in buildings across the landscape (this is in marked contrast to the graphics on the EP which depict a decrepit farmhouse on fire on the CD's front and a school of fish underwater on the digipack's back). These images are all that strike me as pretentious about the recording, and when the only thing you can knock about a CD is its cover art, you have obviously found a solid recording, which long night most definitely is. I solidly recommend it to fans who seek a piano album that avoids both the sterility of some more overt ambient works yet rejects the avant garde stylings that alienate lovers of melody and structure.
