Extractions: bstaff@uwm.edu Date: Feb. 13, 2003 MILWAUKEE - Music From Almost Yesterday presents guest pianist Sarah Cahill on Thursday, March 13 at 7:30 p.m. at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts Recital Hall, 2400 E. Kenwood Blvd. The program, "Composing Women: Ruth Crawford and Seven of Our Contemporaries," includes the complete Ruth Crawford piano preludes, as well as seven short works by contemporary woman composers commissioned by Cahill as a tribute to Crawford. Admission is $8/general and $5/students and seniors. For tickets and information, phone (414) 229-4308. Box office hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and one hour before performances. San Francisco-based pianist, writer and producer Sarah Cahill specializes in new American music and music from the American experimental tradition. She is known as an advocate of contemporary composers. Although Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953) has never known the popularity of her folk-singer stepson Pete, she is a seminal figure in American music and a pioneer of modern expression on this continent. Her music, influenced by the Transcendentalists, Walt Whitman and the Russian composer Scriabin, has been described as "mystical." Each of the companion pieces on the program focuses on a particular aspect of Ruth Crawford's legacy. For example, Eve Beglarian set a prophetic poem written by Crawford at the age of 13, and Pauline Oliveros composed a playful dance reminiscent of Crawford's counterpoint. Together, they form a musical portrait of Ruth Crawford Seeger.

Extractions: Sunset in a small French village. The town is quiet, kissed by the last rays of the setting sun. Behind the cottages, laundry flaps in the gentle evening breeze. Twisting curls of smoke rise from chimneys. In the distance, a church bell tolls. Leaves scuttle across the courtyard, which is empty save for a dying man swinging from the gallows. As the rest of the villagers go about their daily business, he raises his darkening eyes for one final glimpse of the sun, and listens to his death knell.
Extractions: 20th Century Composers message board: leave your comments The composers in this section all composed their music during the last century. Some of them are still composing today. Seems simple enough. But over the last 100 years, ideological changes and technical advances have affected not only the way that music is enjoyed but also the way that it is composed. These composers have all explored new and uncharted territory in terms of tone and structure, often abandoning or combining preconceived notions about the nature of classical music. Schoenberg developed the equally weighted twelve-tone scale, which abolished previously held ideas about tone. Debussy and Ravel experimented with Impressionism, which further destroyed traditional tonality. Gershwin incorporated elements of jazz into his wildly popular music. Cage's aleatoric compositions were based on chance ambient sounds. These composers combined instruments in unheard-of ways and wrote parts for familiar instruments, like the piano, to be played with entirely different techniques. Then, the invention of electronic instruments opened the door for even greater sonic exploration.

[To tell you the truth, this is how and why critics gain authority, when they do - they send out their opinions into the world and see them come back all bruised and battered, and they learn by experience to send out better opinions, better protected. After some years, those opinions begin to accumulate powerful collective force from the fact that they are no longer just one persons. Any critic who sticks to his own egotism and doesnt learn from that input is a fool.] In the case of my postclassical piano repertoire list, several people corrected inadvertent omissions. Devin Hurd pointed out that I had forgotten to include Giacinto Scelsi and Somei Satoh, so I added them in. Hurd also mentioned James Tenneys rags, which I havent heard in years and dont have copies of, and informed me about some piano music I was unaware of: Endless Shout by George Lewis

Extractions: TERRY RILEY and MICHAEL HARRISON To inaugurate our new expanded performance space Faust Harrison Pianos hosted a rare performances by American composer/pianists Terry Riley and Michael Harrison. Riley and Harrison have been close friends and colleagues for over 20 years, having performed North Indian classical vocal concerts together as disciples of the late master Indian vocalist Pandit Pran Nath. This is the first time they appeared together in the United States, performing their own piano music. In his first New York solo piano concert in a decade, minimalist icon Terry Riley performed recent piano works and songs and Michael Harrison performed a 45-minute abridged version of his award winning work Revelation: for Harmonically Tuned Piano. Emmy-nominated composer Steve Sandberg currently scores "Dora the Explorer" for Nickelodeon/CBS. He has toured as keyboardist and vocalist with David Byrne, Ruben Blades and Bebel Gilberto. His studies of North Indian classical singing with Michael Harrison are a major influence in his recent series, Chants, Songs and Musical Landscapes, which he has presented at the Guggenheim Museum and Knitting Factory, alone and with such downtown luminaries as Ken Butler and Robert Dick. This concert devoted to works by Chopin and Bach marks his first classical recital in many years, celebrating his renewed studies with Michael Rogers.

Extractions: (2000-2001) This 35-minute work is based on poems of Jones Very (1813-1880), a protege of Emerson's who either went mad or became infused with the Holy Spirit, depending on whom you're reading about him, and who wrote some of the most ecstatic religious poetry (mostly sonnets) in the English language. You can read the poems, and further program notes, here . This recording is of the October 19, 2002, premiere by the group that commissioned the work, the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir and Orchestra, who, conducted by Eric Stark, did a superb job, and who have kindly given me permission to include the recording on my web page. Thanks to them for that, for the commission, and for their loving hard work. I believe this may be the best music I've written, particularly the final movement - in which the soloists are Kathleen Hacker and Chistopher Paul Aspaas. The concertmaster, audible solo in the closing moments, is Larry Shapiro, who, in his youth, also played in the premiere performance of Charles Ives' Fourth Symphony - I was pleased by the connection.

Crawford/Beyer CD pianist sarah cahill has been instrumental in the renascence of all this music . In fact it takes a pianist like sarah cahill, devoted to both of these http://www.otherminds.org/shtml/Preludescd.shtml
Extractions: Ruth Crawford and Johanna Beyer knew each other well. Crawford called Beyer "Hannah." Beyer's music clearly shows the influence of the younger Crawford who, ironically, stopped composing at the same time that Beyer began. Both were closely associated with Henry Cowell, who brought Crawford to New York, and to whom Beyer became a kind of de facto personal secretary in the late 1930s. Crawford and her husband Charles Seeger devised a theory of "dissonant counterpoint" which elegantly describes much of America's modernist music of the 1930s (Crawford's, Ruggles', a few others). Beyer, as far as we know, was the only composer to actually name a piece Dissonant Counterpoint . Both women favored clear, monothematic forms (like Crawford's towering Study in Mixed Accents , and Beyer's extraordinary solo clarinet suites). Crawford's work shines with an almost brutal formal clarity (her stepson Pete referred to her as "the most honest person he had ever met"); Beyer's music is tinged with a personal, quirky humor which we may not yet understand.

Extractions: By Sarah Cahill The spectacle of theater was vividly absent at some points and present at others in the third and final concert of Other Minds, the eclectic festival of new music that welcomes composers and musicians from a wide range of disciplines. The evening began with Luc Ferrari's Presque Rien No. 4, "La remontée du village," which plunged the audience into darkness to hear sounds of a colorful Italian village, and concluded with Mary Ellen Childs' collaborations with CRASH, four percussionists who never sit still. In between were toy piano gems with Margaret Leng Tan, whose performances are fashioned to be as much seen as heard. Seventy-year-old Ferrari once studied piano with Alfred Cortot and composition with Honegger and Messiaen, but after meeting Varese, quickly developed a unique style of ambient sound documentation as music. The recent tape piece we heard Saturday was recorded by the composer and his collaborator/wife as they walked uphill into an Italian town just across the French border. Isolated from what must have been intense visual stimuli, the sounds intensify footsteps against gravel, children at play, motorbikes, the cadences of French and Italian dialects. The piece becomes progressively more edited and processed until the moos and bells of cows are distorted to almost painful levels. Tape pieces in a concert hall can be monotonous, but Ferrari's ever-evolving work made for a fascinating, collective listening experience.
