大分マニアックなプログラム <— 好き

バラ🌹エティーに富んだイギリスの作曲家のセトリ。

どんなジャンルにおいても

隠れた名曲は世の中に沢山あるので、

こうして演奏される機会がもっと増えて行きますように。

福間さん、ナイスプロデュース👍

最初は慣れない、違和感がある、と感じることもあるだろうけど。ドビュッシーも当時のお客さんにとっては難しかったように。

「ヒット」　する曲はもちろんヒットになる理由があるわけだけど、何度も流れて聴いてるうちに、懐かしさとか慣れも出てくる。だから色々なものに触れて、慣れて、自分の中のヒットを見つけていく楽しさがある^_^

とてもレアなピアノコンサートでした。

小川典子さんの演奏はお初でした。

世界初演のフィブスが特にヴィヴィッドで他の作品も気になりました。知らない作品が殆どだったので事前のプレトークを観て予習(お二人の話とても良かった)

福間さんのタッチやはり好き。粋な演出も。

ブリテンはヴァイオリンの協奏曲を学生の時演奏したり、学校で合唱もしたので親しみがある作曲家。あらためて、好きな作曲家だと今日再確認。ピアノの曲はあまり聴いたことがなく、初めて生で聴くのがお二人のデュオで刺激的でした。帰りにブリテンのインタビュー観て聞き入ってしまいしまた。

会場は懐かしの、東京文化会館^_^

作曲家の加藤先生ともバタリ。また色々企画しましょうという話になったり。

最後は珍しく、日本のジンでしめる。

雨の日のコンサートでした♪

Do y’all know A Child of Our Time, the oratorio by Michael Tippett inspired by the Jewish boy who assassinated a Nazi diplomat? I was thinking about how Luigi Mangione (and/or the shooter) is a child of our time and our country, mine at least. (Not that he’s a child, though he’s at the age where adult children age out of their parents’ health insurance.)

I’m tired of living in historic times.

The oratorio is beautiful and sad.

pls help an aspiring (ethno)musicologist out!

So I'm currently conducting research for my undergraduate dissertation on the cultural contexts of Michael Tippett's A Child of Our Time and Benjamin Britten's Curlew River, and I could really do with music tumblr’s help!

If you, or anyone you know, has sung/conducted/played either of these pieces in a professional, amateur or student setting, I would love to hear from you, and I would really appreciate you dropping me a message. (you also don't have to have sung these pieces in their entirety, if you've only sung the spirituals in A Child of Our Time I'd be just as interested to hear from you.)

If people could share this around/pass it on to relevant people I would massively appreciate it, every interview helps to build a bigger and better ethnography. I would love as many people to be involved as possible as I think this is really interesting research, and I hope you do too! (also the ethical review process was painstaking and I really want to make this worth it!!) 

If anyone thinks they can help please drop me a message, and if not I would massively appreciate a reblog!

Thanks!
