Beacon concert will celebrate Broadway In a rarity for classical music ensembles, the Hudson Valley Symphony Orchestra will feature a saxophone soloist for its program of Broadway arrangements at Beacon High School on Feb. 22. The orchestra recruited Jerry Vivino, a member for 25 years of the house bands for Conan O'Brien's late-night shows, to sit in, although the headliner will be Hugh Panaro, who played the lead in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway more than 2,000 times. Panaro will indeed sing "Music of the Night," along with songs from Chess, Jersey Boys, Les Misérables and The Wizard of Oz. In addition, the orchestra will perform instrumental arrangements of selections from Evita, Wicked, Chicago, 42nd Street, On the Town and The Music Man. This is the Poughkeepsie-based ensemble's second recent concert in Beacon. It performed Messiah in December and returns in May to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of French composer Maurice Ravel with a program of his Ma Mere l'Oye Suite (Mother Goose), Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1 in E-flat Major, Op. 107, John Adams's Short Ride in a Fast Machine and Elgar's Enigma Variations. Founded in 1932, the orchestra began as an independent entity but partnered with the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie in 1999 after tough times. Over the years, its programming dropped from 12 concerts and 130 school visits annually to three concerts, says Executive Director Rachel Crozier. Last year, it became a nonprofit and is again operating independently. The Pete and Toshi Seeger Theater at Beacon High School is one of the few venues in the Hudson Valley that can accommodate a full symphony orchestra, says Crozier, who plays second violin. In addition to the guest soloist and saxophonist, about 60 musicians will fill the stage, including two substitutes who live in Beacon, Eva Gerard (viola) and Adrienne Harmon (violin). Crozier praises the auditorium's acoustics: "The sound is warm, and it carries throughout the hall," she says. André Raphel, who last year became the symphony's principal conductor and artistic advisor, assembled the program. Raphel, who previously worked with the New York Philharmonic and the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra in West Virginia, seeks to recreate the versatile sound heard on original cast albums from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. "Hearing Broadway material performed by an orchestra is going to be sonically superior to attending the show itself because, no matter how good the pit musicians are, you're getting a lush performance with so many more instruments," he says. One challenge for the future of classical music is its aging audience. "The way we talk about it needs to shift," says Crozier. "Classical is for everyone, and we want people to be comfortable." Mixing things up, like offering a holiday choral work, providing accompaniment for a silent film and rolling out a pops or Broadway program, help orchestras engage with larger audiences, says Raphel. "Movies would be much less engaging or emotional without the background music, which is usually recorded by a full orchestra," says Crozier. "Just as music makes movies better, people can enhance their days by making classical music part of the soundtrack to their lives." Beacon High School is located at 101 Matteawan Road. Tickets are $55 ($68 reserved seating, $38 seniors, $15 students, children ages 5 and younger free) at hudsonvalleysymphony.org.

Short Ride in a Fast Machine is a 1986 orchestral work by John Adams. Adams applies the description "fanfare for orchestra" to this work and to the earlier Tromba Lontana. The former is also known as Fanfare for Great Woods because it was commissioned for the Great Woods Festival of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musicspeaks-podcast/support

In this second part of a two-part episode, we look at how Patrick Doyle, Nicholas Hopper and Alexandre Desplat pick up the mantle from John Williams to continue the sounds and world of Harry Potter in films 4-8. From folk tunes, to new and unusual instruments, to new places such as the Ministry of Magic, as well as returning ideas from dragons to flying to magic in Hogwarts. Each composer has their own unique sound while still staying within the late romantic orchestral sound with a few quirky moments thrown in while the sounds of magic are continued in choir and celeste.Host: Ruth MudgeMusic included in podcast:"The Quidditch World Cup" - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Patrick Doyle, 2005"Foreign Visitors Arrive" - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Patrick Doyle, 2005"The Goblet of Fire" - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Patrick Doyle, 2005"Golden Egg" - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Patrick Doyle, 2005"Hogwarts' March" - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Patrick Doyle, 2005"Harry Sees Dragons" - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Patrick Doyle, 2005"Underwater Secrets" - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Patrick Doyle, 2005"The Black Lake" - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Patrick Doyle, 2005"Der Zigeunerbaron: Schatz-Walzer (Treasure Waltz), Op. 418" - Strauss II: Most Famous Waltzes, performed by Ondrej Lenard & Strauss Festival Orchestra, music by Johann Strauss, Jnr., 1988."Potter Waltz" - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Patrick Doyle, 2005"Dementors in the Underpass" - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2007"The Hall of Prophecies" - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2007"The Ministry of Magic" - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2007"Short Ride on a Fast Machine" - Adams: Short Ride on a Fast Machine, Grand Pianola Music, performed by Stephen Mosko & Netherlands Winds Ensemble, music by John Coolidge Adams, 1995"The Room of Requirements" - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2007"Fireworks" - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2007"A Journey to Hogwarts" - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2007"Flight of the Order of the Phoenix" - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2007"The Sirius Deception" - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2007"Ron's Victory" - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2009"The Book" - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2009"The Slug Party" - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2009"Farewell Aragog" - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Nicholas Hooper, 2009"Ministry of Magic" - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1, (Original Motion Picture...

Beidi Chen talks about "Pixelated Butterfly: Simple and Efficient Sparse Training for Neural Network Models." Overparameterized neural networks generalize well but are expensive to train. Ideally, one would like to reduce their computational cost while retaining their generalization benefits. Sparse model training is a simple and promising approach to achieve this, but there remain challenges as existing methods struggle with accuracy loss, slow training runtime, or difficulty in sparsifying all model components. The core problem is that searching for a sparsity mask over a discrete set of sparse matrices is difficult and expensive. To address this, our main insight is to optimize over a continuous superset of sparse matrices with a fixed structure known as products of butterfly matrices. As butterfly matrices are not hardware efficient, we propose simple variants of butterfly (block and flat) to take advantage of modern hardware. Our method (Pixelated Butterfly) uses a simple fixed sparsity pattern based on flat block butterfly and low-rank matrices to sparsify most network layers (e.g., attention, MLP). We empirically validate that Pixelated Butterfly is 3x faster than butterfly and speeds up training to achieve favorable accuracy--efficiency tradeoffs. On the ImageNet classification and WikiText-103 language modeling tasks, our sparse models train up to 2.5x faster than the dense MLP-Mixer, Vision Transformer, and GPT-2 medium with no drop in accuracy.

In this week's SlatorPod, we're joined by Kenneth Heafield, Reader in Machine Translation (MT) at the University of Edinburgh. We originally connected with Kenneth on Twitter in a discussion about Slator's coverage of a research paper on Carbon Emissions in MT.Kenneth talks about his experience going back and forth between academia and industry, reflecting on the pros and cons of working for Big Tech. He discusses his recent research with efficient translation and language modelling as well as other MT topics that are undervalued by the industry.Kenneth shares his thoughts on the popular preprint platform arXiv and how news outlets should cover research that hasn't been peer-reviewed. He gives tips for those interested in attending natural language processing (NLP) conferences, particularly on how to navigate the complex system.Kenneth concludes the podcast with an exciting demo of Translate Locally, an MT app that runs locally on a desktop or laptop CPU, allowing cloud-like translation speed without sacrificing privacy and browsing habits.First up, Florian and Esther discuss the language industry news of the week, with Argos Multilingual acquiring rival Venga Global and roughly doubling its size to become one of the top 25 LSPs in the world. One LSP that missed the top spot by a hair is RWS, whose full-year revenue is exceeding expectations, with consensus placing the figure around USD 965m. Meanwhile, Slator's very own Anna Wyndham joins the Pod to talk about our highly popular article, “10 Areas Where Translators Are (and Will Remain) Essential Experts in the Loop,” published last week. She highlights a selection of mission-critical scenarios in which translators are the true experts in the loop, despite the advancement of tech.

Collin and Chris discuss the boundaries of film as art in a discussion of Pure Cinema before diving into Alain Resnais's 1961 French masterpiece Last Year at Marienbad. Last Year at Marienbad is unlike anything we have discussed on the show, or anything we have ever seen for that matter. This film is about as far from the Hollywood blockbuster as it gets, it is film as art and is all the stronger for it. Join Chris and Collin as we discuss what this film is trying to make us think and feel and what it can teach us about the human experience.What we are covering next: The Irishman, Martin Scorsese (2019)Pure Cinema Films and Chris's soundtrack recommendations:Portrait of a Young Man, Henwar Rodakiewicz (1925-31)Giacinto Scelsi“Natura renovatur pour onze cordes”“Anagamin pour douze cordes”“Ohoi pour seize cordes”“Elohim pour dix cordes”Leopold StokowskiPassacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582 (arr.

Episode 03 Summary   0:00 - Intro  0:51 - Introducing Rhythm and Meter Every musical sound has a pitch and a duration Melody and harmony deal with the pitch Rhythm and meter deal with the duration  1:29 - First: What Is a Pulse? Your heartbeat is an example of a pulse Humans find a regular, recurring beat comforting in music (probably because it’s a sign of life) A pulse is a series of regular, recurring sounds. When you tap your foot, you are tapping your foot to the pulse  03:16 - Defining Meter Meter is what occurs when a pulse is organized into strong and weak beats In 4/4, each measure has 4 beats: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4;  Strong, weak, slightly strong, weak When you air drum along to music, you are reflecting the meter If you are familiar with time signatures found in sheet music, those tell you what meter you’re in  Time signatures also tell you what the meter will look like on the page If you’re listening for meter in music, definitely cue into the drummer 4:58 - Garrett Asks: Would the snare drum accenting 2 and 4 be an example of meter?  Because it emphasizes certain beats? If you’re trying to hear the meter in music, you should definitely cue into the drums since drummers usually make the meter very clear However, the snare on 2 and 4 is actually an example of emphasizing weak beats something we’ll address in a future episode In any meter, the strongest beat is beat one It’s called a downbeat because it’s the only beat where the conductor’s hands come down for the other beats, they’ll move side to side or up For music in 4, the beats go: strong, weak, slightly strong, weak  7:33 - Meter Is a Structural Idea It’s sort of like beams in a wall/the framing of a building It’s a structural idea, it’s crucial to the integrity of the music, but you can’t see it unless someone wants you to see it There was a trend of industrial, deconstructed looks for rooms and buildings that made parts of the structures visible Other architectural styles hide their structures In music, most of the time, meter is very clear and obvious 8:34 - Rhythm Is More Abstract Garrett thinks of pulse as a big thing, meter as something that divides that, and rhythm as something that divides it further Amanda says this is practical, but it’s important to remember that rhythm can exist outside of meter Simple definition: Rhythm is the alternation of sound and silence There’s somewhat of a meter with human speech, but we don’t speak in a specific time signature 10:05 - Rhythms and Human Speech/Activities Certain people have distinct ways of speaking/pausing in speech, in walking, etc Amanda points out that musical phrases may be parallel to human breathing You aren’t going to say more in one phrase than you can say in one breath. Garrett does a robot impression Amanda says that you can write longer phrases for trained singers than you can for amateur singers Garrett points out that if you try to sing along with a guitar solo, you will often run out of breath because unlike the human voice, a guitar doesn’t need to breathe. Breath is a limitation for some instruments more than others  12:21 - Defining Rhythm Rhythm is the alternation of sound and silence The sounds can be long or they can be short The same applies to the silences There can be many or few sounds The sounds can help make the meter very obvious, or they can conceal the meter Most of the time, the rhythm sits nicely within a meter You can choose to put a certain number of sounds on beat one You can choose not to put a sound on beat one You can choose to put a long note on beat two We get the rhythms we get in music because of how we choose to decorate or chop up each beat Garrett points out that rhythm is the most obvious mathematic aspect of music, and this is where fractions and decimals come in Amanda compares each beat to a pie or a pizza and says that you can choose how many slices you’ll divide each pie into Depending on the instrument they play, some musicians are more aware of the fractions and ratios they’re using than others Can be very micro (beat to beat) or macro (a rhythmically active or inactive part in a piece) 15:26 Obvious Meter vs Concealed Meter Pop tunes/music to dance to requires an obvious meter so that the dancers can coordinate their footwork with the beat Horror films might conceal the meter to make jump scares more effective because this makes the music less predictable Garrett brings up the example of Jaws  16:51 Importance of Rhythm for Memorable Music Rhythm is just as important as melody for making music memorable (sometimes even more important) Jaws is a good example because the two note motive doesn’t have a lot going on melodically, but its rhythm is iconic, and the amount of space in between repetitions keeps it unpredictable  17:44 More Ways to Think About Rhythm Pitch is somewhat related to space; rhythm and meter are more related to time On a grid, pitch would be the Y axis (vertical) and rhythm/meter would be the X axis (horizontal) Musical notation is basically a very simple graph  19:45 Rhythm Can Exist Without Melody, But Melody Cannot Exist Without Rhythm Because every musical note has a duration, that means every musical sound has a rhythm The rhythm could be irregular, it could not spell out a meter, but it is present Garrett brings up the importance of playing the right notes at the right time If you don’t, even the right pitch sounds wrong!  21:25 - A Quick Review Pulse is like a heartbeat, a series of regular recurring beats, what you tap your toe to Meter is the organization of a pulse into strong and weak beats, and it’s a structural idea like framing of a building Rhythm is the alternation of sound and silence and usually fits easily into a meter Rhythm and meter exist on a horizontal plane where pitch exists on a vertical plane   22:20 Listening Recommendations 22:23 Garrett’s 1st Rhythm Pick: John Adams’s "Short Ride in a Fast Machine” (1986) 25:48 Amanda’s 1st Rhythm Pick: Giachino Rossini’s “Wiliam Tell Overture” (1829) This selection is just the end of the overture.  There's more to it! 28:04 Garrett’s 2nd Rhythm Pick: Mars, The Bring of War from the Planets Suite by Gustav Holst (1918) 31:00 Garrett’s 3rd Rhythm Pick: “Cecilia” by Simon and Garfunkel (1970) 32:25 Amanda’s 1st Meter Pick: Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” (1913) This section is entitled "The Augers of Spring"  Video Amanda referenced 36:08 Garrett’s 1st Meter Pick: “Only” by Nine Inch Nails (2005) 38:00 Amanda’s 2nd Meter Pick: “Take Five” by Paul Desmond/The Dave Brubeck Quartet (1959) 40:44 Amanda’s 3rd Meter Pick: “Bubble Dream” by CHON (2013)   42:27 Answering Listener Questions! 42:52 Steven S. wants to know: What are some things that beginning musicians overlook when it comes to rhythm?  43:07 Amanda: They Don’t Always Count the Rhythms Percussionists are taught to count rhythms very early on, but many wind players don’t focus much on that Garrett points out that wind instruments aren’t as tactile as percussion, so they don’t learn to internalize rhythm as easily Wind players also have to focus on slide position/correct fingerings, intonation, articulation, style, and technical challenges specific to their instruments Amanda points out that it’s not as if percussionists don’t have to think about these things; they do, but they can conceive of them a little differently, and some of them are basically handled automatically depending on the percussion instrument Example 1: duration of single notes on snare drum, unless rolling; Example 2: intonation, unless playing timpani  42:24 Garrett: They Need to Consider Duration   Lots of people don’t truly understand durations of rhythms they’re playing until late high school/college The ending of the note is just as important as the beginning 46:02 Amanda: The Silences Are Just As Important As the Notes The rests should be the easy part! Make sure you “don’t play” just as accurately as you “do play”  46:24 Amanda’s Soap Box: Counting triplets correctly!!! (For Musicians) Amanda does not care for tri-puh-let as a counting for three note groupings because you can easily forget which beat you’re on Try 1-trip-let, 2-trip-let, 3-trip-let, etc. This reminds you which beat you’re on so that you don’t get lost when you have many triplets to play in a row! Garrett confesses blasphemy in this regard and Amanda chastises him lightly Amanda denounces using food names to teach and count rhythms students may morph the word into a new rhythm without realizing it   49:30 - Sign Off Please feel free to submit more questions if you’d like!
