Collaborative Rep - Spring 2017

As collaborative piano takes up nearly 50% of my music-making during the academic year, I've started to keep lists...looooong lists... of everything I learn each semester. It's mostly so I can feel a sense of accomplishment, but it's also smart to keep a running rep list, no matter what it's for.

If you're not already keeping track of rep you learn - for whatever instrumentation - I'd go ahead and start!


Performed in Recital

Flute
Chaminade, Concertino
Clarke, Hypnosis
Mouquet, Pan et les Oiseaux
Ganne, Andante and Scherzo
Bohm, Fantasy, Op. 21
Schumann, Three Romances
Griffes, Poem
Reinecke, Ballade

 Clarinet
Cahuzac, Cantilene
Hindemith, Sonate
Rabud, Solo de Concours
Saint-Saëns, Sonata
Bassi, Fantasia from I puritani
Weber, Concertino in E-flat Major, Op. 26

 Violin
Bartok, Romanian Folk Dances
Khachaturian, Concerto, II. 

 Percussion
Sejourne, Concerto for Marimba and Strings
Rosauro, Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra
Green, Cross Corners

Performed in Masterclass, Jury

Flute
Mozart, Concerto in G Major
Sancan, Sonatine
Hindemith, Sonate

Clarinet
Bassi, Fantasia da Concerto
Arnold, Sonatina
Alwyn, Sonata
Gaubert, Fantasie

Saxophone
Ibert, Concertino
Koechlin, from Etudes
Demersseman, Fantaisie
Bozza, Divertissement
Lantier, Sicilienne
Glazunov, Concerto

In looking at the list, I can tell I forgot to write down a few pieces.  Others were begun but not completed, so they aren't included either. 
Regardless, it looks and felt like a lot of music. It was split between 20 different students. 

This coming semester I've only accepted 10 into my accompaniment studio, which should hopefully make life a little simpler. It's not so much learning the music that's the problem: it's coordinating schedules with 20 students and their applied lesson professors that starts to wear on all of us after a while. I'm hoping that 10 is an easily manageable number. 

Plus, we have 11 incoming freshmen to the percussion studio, so there will be more lessons to go around there as well. And I'm planning on taking a psychology course this fall, as it has always been an interest of mine. (...If that wasn't obvious between some essays here and segments on @ percussion podcast.)

June's concerts in Chicago went well. Haven't watched the videos yet, but will do soon. We are coming up on the Staunton Music Festival, where I'll be involved in two concerts. One will feature a US premiere of Iron Curtain, a percussion quartet by Moritz Eggert, who will be in residence. Looking forward to receiving the music!

Marimba Body: Back Muscles

This essay is all about the muscles of the back, since we talked about the spine in my last segment.  Since I get to talk all about shoulders at PASIC (woohoo!!!) on Friday, I thought a good connection between spine structure and the shoulder joint would be about the muscles of the back that help to protect both. Though I've never experienced it severely first-hand, it seems like there is nothing worse than constant back pain.  Ask anyone who has dealt with it and they will say that you must  protect your back so you never  feel what they do.  Doctors warn their patients that once they have one surgery, chances are they will need more.  (This makes sense, as you can't fix one part of the long spinal structure without later needing to correct other areas.) There's good news, though: keeping the muscles of the back strong, and freely aligning the spine, can help us lead pain and surgery-free lives. Waterfall Muscles source source   ...

L+M Duo presents...ILLUMINATING WRIGLEY

Saturday, June 8 is a big day for L+M Duo!! Our visionary project titled Illuminating Wrigley comes to life at 8pm in a free concert just outside the Wrigley Building on iconic Michigan Avenue! This event marks the start of Wrigley's Centennial Celebration, so we commemorate important dates of the last 100 years in our programming. Our Collaborators Composer Steven Snowden was on board with this project from the beginning, and agreed in early 2017 to write a new work for L+M Duo inspired by the Wrigley Building.  Here we are in downtown Chicago - the first time the 3 of us met! Illuminating Wrigley closes with Steve's gorgeous new work for piano, marimba, and electronics titled 25 Million Candles , named for the amount of candlepower it took to light the building's exterior when it was completed in 1924.  The piece is alive with a rhythmic vitality that reminds us of the energy contained in a beam of light. Cadance Collective joined the Illuminating W...
