Missed a month? MHS eNewsletter archives

Dearest Readers,

Before the start of every new performance season (approx. September through June for most organizations), we here at MHS examine a list of nearly 700 national and international orchestra and opera companies to find out who of our classical artists of color is doing what, where and with whom.

We do this for a number of reasons, but mainly because: (1) it's nearly impossible to keep up with the thousands of individual artists out there--unless they send us their information, (2) the performances are mostly finalized, which helps when chronicling and analyzing entire seasons, (3) the venues are usually centrally-located and are wheelchair accessible, which facilitates our ticket giveaways, and (4) the artists have greater visibility, which benefits bloggers, reviewers, etc., which translates into wider audience impact followed by more gigs and therefore more MHS eNewsletter. See? :) That's not to say that we don't want to hear about/publish performances in smaller venues. We do! So please, tell us. Thank you. Digression concluded.

Okay, so we've only put a dent in the master list, but here's what we've found: Out of the 153 organizations that we've researched, there are twelve, yes 12, André Watts (pictured above) performances--three this month alone! So far, he's the most sought-after artist of the season, which means you have plenty of opportunities to see him perform. (Read about other hot artists below.)

We can't wait to see what else turns up and tell you all about it. We'll get back to work now. You enjoy this month's publication. 

Faithfully,
Rashida N. Black

Recently spotted at Maya Angelou's 80th birthday party hosted by Oprah, pianist William H. Chapman Nyaho (right) sharing recordings of composer Fred Onovwerosuoke's Studies in African Rhythms with celebrated music magnate Quincy Jones (left). Nyaho's CD, ASA was just released on MSR Classics featuring the 'Studies.' Check it out!

While going through some old files, I came across a 2007 article entitled Ignored and overlooked: Richard Greene's Black Composers Reference Guide by Andrew Quint published in Philadelphia Music Makers (Vol. 6, No. 4 Winter, pp 35-37). The article highlights Dr. Richard Greene's web site, Classical Music Recordings by Black Composers: a reference guide, which tracks recordings of "African Heritage" music. The site, which Greene started in 2001 from a print listing of CDs, lists "one hundred and forty composers alphabetically, reference resources and web links, a list of black musicians (by instrument) and conductors, as well as a calendar of pertinent musical events in the Philadelphia area for the current season." When you check out the site, be sure to leave a comment.

New recordings:
Blind Boone (John William Boone).  Various works, performed by pianist John Davis, who recently issued works by Blind Tom.  Newport 85678.    

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.  The Nash Ensemble plays both the piano quintet and with Richard Hostford (principal clarinet of the BBC Symphony), the clarinet quintet.  Hyperion 67590.    

Barbara Hendricks as Euridice (with Anne Sofie von Otter as Orphée), the Monteverdi Choir and Lyon Opera, conducted by John Eliot Gardiner.  EMI 9161.    

Oral Moses narrates Honegger's Roi David (in English) with the Michael O'Neal Chamber Orchestra and Singers.  ACA 20098.     

Tania León (Bellarin; Singin' sepia; Axon; Arenas d'un tiempo; Satine; and Horizons).  Performances by various chamber ensembles, and the NDR Symphony, conducted by Peter Ruzicka.  Bridge 9231.    

Leo Brouwer's Concerto elegiaco has Friederich Wuttke (guitar) with the New Moscow Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Igor Zhukov -- Profil 8039.  And his Sarabanda de Scriabin and Toccata de Pasquini (along with Thelonious Monk's Round Midnight) are performed by a guitar ensemble on GHA 126.600.   

Kenneth Boulton, piano, plays Gottschalk's La savane on Cambria 1171.  This might be the time to correct statements that the composer was a creole of color.  Creole, yes.  Color, no.

Legacy; Works for Bassoon by African-American composers
Albany TROY 1038 (2008)

Lecolion Washington Jr., bassoon
Carina Nyberg Washington, clarinet & soprano
Mark Ensley, piano

William Grant Still.  If you should go.  Song for the lonely.  Bayou home.
Adolphus Hailstork. Bassoon set.
Ed Bland.  One on one for bassoon and clarinet.
Ulysses Kay.  Sonata for bassoon and piano.
Ed Bland.  For bassoon.
Gary Powell Nash.  Deformation for bassoon and piano after J. S. Bach's allegro from sonata II in A minor for solo violin.
Ed Bland.  One on one for bassoon and virtual percussion.
Traditional Swedish folk song.  Uti vår hage.
Daniel Bernard Roumain.  Lecolion loops after Uti vår hage.

It will soon be forty years since the late D. Antoinette Handy issued an LP album of flute music by Black composers.  Joining in this early wave were the Oakland Youth Orchestra, Columbia's Black Composers Series, and Natalie Hinderas' piano anthology.  While there is plenty of piano music by Black composers (and Natalie's commissions added wonderfully to the repertoire), a volume of flute music was a surprise.  And now we have one featuring the bassoon.  Only one work was commissioned for this recording!  The others have been around waiting to be discovered and performed.

The works by Still were originally songs (arranged here by Alexis Still - no relation).  Although the words are missing, they are still songs, thanks to the soloist.  We are treated to three works by Ed Bland, one engaging the bassoonist's wife. Only two of the composers currently have faculty positions.  Dr. Hailstork is Eminent Scholar at Old Dominion University, and Gary Powell Nash is at Fisk University.

It was not long ago that I located the one-movement sonata by Ulysses Kay, thanks to the staff of the Sibley Music Library at Eastman.  The title is missing from all the literature and, although written about the time he studied with Hindemith, I've encountered no indication of a performance prior to the one recently given by my colleague at Lawrence, Monte Perkins.  A sturdy sense of craft is already present in this early work.

The longest of the pieces is by the youngest composer, Dr. Roumain, and is among the most interesting works by this figure.  Of Haitian ancestry, he has found a stimulus in hip hop and presumably that is present here, but not so overtly.  He has the clarinet and bassoon looping each other in a way that is sonically fascinating.  The work is in three movements, lasting about 20 splendid minutes.

This CD exemplifies the full range of the bassoon, all of which Mr. Washington commands.  He has given a focus to some fine music (with liner notes specifying publisher information).  The potential for repertoire innovation should be seriously noted.  And thanks to Albany Records for yet another splendid CD!

Beethoven Ninth

Of embellished norms
And established mores,
Reach deep within
For the resolve befitting
A Beethoven Ninth.

Spell the Augmented Fifth,
The Neapolitan Sixth;
The Diminished Seventh
For whom must they resolve?

And faced with choice,
Is the laddened 9th
Preferred over the chord
Of the barrened  2nd?

Or the larger debate:
Who roams still
In tertian sphere
When by precept
Octatonian muses wail:
"A scale tempered
Is a scale engendered."

Welcome to my world
Of zillion ragas,
Hardinos and donkilos;
Where harmonies
Of the universe
Palpate - entrapped,
Yet pulsating in an infinitude
Of rhythmic permutations -

Haydn would have been proud:
For he always sneaked
A metric curveball...
But be mindful: for Beethoven
Mother Earth's Rhythm
Was a natural, mystic vibration...

Reach within, my love,
For the resolve befitting
A Beethoven Ninth!
