Extractions: investigated by KEITH BRAMICH CRI CD 877 American pianist Marilyn Nonken plays four works written for her at the end of the twentieth century. They share the rhythmic complexity and abstract late 20th century language which will be familiar if you know the music of Michael Finnissy (born 1947), whose English Country Tunes , made a big impression on the pianist. Chelsea Square (1999) by Jeff Nichols (born 1957) takes its name from a poem by Douglas Crase which conjures up an image of millennial Manhattan. The music is rather lyrical, and has a certain stillness [ listen track 1, 12:13-13:08 ]. Nonken, writing her own CD notes, describes it as having a 'quirky, riddle-like structure' and says that it rewards multiple hearings. Jason Eckardt's Echoes' White Veil (1996) sounds chaotic, jazzy and fragmented. It was apparently written without barlines, and, inspired by Echoes , a prose poem by W S Merwin, beginning 'Everything we hear is an echo', it explores the relationships between the past, the present and the future. In North American Spirituals (1998), Finnissy uses the songs that Tippett featured in

Pianist Commemorates Composer Schoenberg death. pianist marilyn nonken. The pieces will be presented in chronologicalorder starting with three piano pieces written in 1894. http://www.beloit.edu/~pubaff/releases/2001/01nonken.html
Extractions: Marilyn Nonken , one of the most gifted young musicians dedicated to the modern and contemporary repertoire and heralded as "a determined protector of important music" by the New York Times will make a return visit to Beloit College on Thurs., Nov. 8 , at 8 p.m. in Eaton Chapel . Her program of the complete solo piano music by Arnold Schoenberg will commemorate the 50thanniversary of the composer's death. The pieces will be presented in chronological order starting with three piano pieces written in 1894. She will then do a later series of piano pieces, repeating one of them in an arrangement by Busoni. The balance of the program will include works from 1911, the Suite for Piano Opus 25 from the early twenties and two final pieces written for piano composed in 1928 and 1931. Ms. Nonken will speak from the piano before each piece to place each one stylistically and historically in the Schoenberg catalog. Ms. Nonken made her first visit to Beloit College six years ago in a performance of works for saxophone and piano with saxophonist Tamir Sullivan. She impressed the audience so much that she was invited back as soloist in 2000.
Extractions: Morton Feldman (1928-1987) developed a unique musical voice while living in New York City in the 1950s, where he consorted with numerous painters of the abstract expressionist school, including Philip Guston, Franz Kline, Jackson Pollock, and Willem de Kooning. In this context, through an exploration of musical color and improvisation, Feldman created an often quiet and gentle minimalist music. From the late 1970s, he wrote epic works of which the hour-long Triadic Memories (1981) is a part.

Extractions: ISAM Home Since my late teens, when I discovered the music of Schoenberg and the postwar moderns, Ive been fascinated by the twentieth-century repertoire. In college, I was fortunate to study with a pioneer of new music piano performance, David Burge, for whom many landmark works were written, including George Crumbs Makrokosmos I . As my tastes have developed over the past decade, my repertoire now includes a variety of composers, ranging from Alvin Lucier, Mario Davidovsky, Milton Babbitt, Salvatore Martirano, and Charles Wuorinen to younger voices such as Lee Hyla, Jason Eckardt, Jeff Nichols, and David Rakowski. I generally find myself drawn to atonal works that are rhythmically adventurous, conceptually unusual, and physically demanding, and to composers with distinct voices and strong musical personalities. As a performer, I mediate the delicate space between the work as written and the music as heard. Composition, writes the composer Chris Dench, is the making manifest of a particular vision

Extractions: ISAM Home A child piano prodigy grows up in poverty to become star soloist and arranger with one of the leading swing bands in America. She rides the crest of the boogie woogie wave while entertaining at Café Society in New York, arranges for Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington, and joins the bop revolution in Harlem, serving as a mentor to Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, and other young musicians. Disillusioned with the jazz life, in the 1950s she drops out of the music business, converts to Catholicism, and starts her own charitable foundation. Eventually a Jesuit priest coaxes her back into performance and she resumes an active career while also composing several large-scale sacred works. At Duke University she becomes artist-in-residence and continues to concertize until her death in 1981 at the age of seventy-one. These are the bare bones of the story recounted by Linda Dahl in Morning Glory: A Biography of Mary Lou Williams (Pantheon, 2000; $30). Its a wonder no one has come along to tell it sooner, but fortunately Dahls richly comprehensive account can serve as a standard for some time. Given full access to unpublished sources by Williamss close associate, Father Peter F. OBrien, Dahl draws upon letters, diaries, and autobiographical writings to reveal the private side of a complex artist. Plagued by personal problems throughout her lifeinvolving family, lovers, financial woes, and career strugglesWilliams found solace through music and spirituality, persevering in her mission to spread the gospel of jazz and blues wherever she went.

A small surcharge applies to all online orders. 6-concert Spring Composer Portraits Passport Please note that artists and programs are subject to change. 7PM preconcert discussion with David Lang and Alan Pierson Provocative New York composer David Lang (b. 1957) approaches his classical craft with urban sensibility. The Passing Measures (which takes its name from a pair of dances for virginal by William Byrd) is a quasi-concerto for bass clarinet accompanied by chorus and amplified orchestra. The forty-minute work is a monumental musical environment, emotionally charged and meditative. The So-called Laws of Nature , written for the So Percussion Ensemble, is a rock 'n' roll romp on pieces of junk metal, wood planks, and drums, heard here in its entirety for the first time. Another new work, described by the composer as a showcase for Alarm Will Sound, fills out this evening of excitement.
Extractions: CRI Jeff Nicholls (b. 1957) is a name new to me, and so is his music which I find the most readily accessible in this exacting and thought-provoking collection of recent works for piano, all written for Marilyn Nonken. Chelsea Square alludes to a similarly titled poem by Douglas Crase, and, for this listener at least, evokes the buzzing life, with all its contrasts, of a big city. Nicholls' music is well-written for the piano; it is colourful somewhat jazzy but quite demanding. Jason Eckardt (b. 1971) is the youngest composer here who relates to the so-called "New Complexity school", and his music has many affinities with that of Ferneyhough, Finnissy or Dillon. His Echoes' White Veil is a fairly complex and technically taxing piece of music. It falls roughly into two sections : the opening section is, to say the least, hyperactive and ends with a long-reverberating chord followed by a long pause. The second section is somewhat calmer, the music more rarefied with many silences though with huge dynamic contrasts. The piece is written without bar-lines and has some improvisatory character, the whole giving the impression of a restless, sometimes violent burst of creative energy. The music is again very taxing and Marilyn Nonken rightly remarks that "the effort required to play the piece is an integral part of its aesthetic". Quite an impressive achievement in its own right.
