For episode 122 of the LSQ podcast, I had the pleasure of connecting with the up-and-coming singer-songwriter Uwade, whose beautiful debut studio album, Florilegium, arrived this spring following, truly, YEARS of anticipation from those of us who were first captivated by her voice when we heard her sing on Fleet Foxes' 2020 album Shore. As you'll hear, Uwade's musical influences since childhood span an array of genres including R&B, gospel, choir music, pop, hip-hop, indie rock and more, so it's no wonder that her own songs are so refreshingly genre agnostic. Uwade is also currently studying for her PhD in Classics, and I was fascinated to hear her talk about how her academic and musical pursuits feed each other.

In this episode, we get to meet Uwade. Uwade a Cailfornia-by-way-of-North Carolina singer-songwriter, who has just released her new debut album, Florilegium. You may have - like I did - first encountered her, though, as the first voice on the opening track of the last Fleet Foxes record Shore, called "Wading in the Waist-High Water". In this chat, she and I discuss the writing and process of creating this first solo LP, what it means for her to be going out on her own, the musical touchstones of her childhood that found their ways into these songs, and more. We do also touch on her work with Robin Pecknold & co. and the subsequent tours she shared with Fleet Foxes, and what she learned from that. Finally, we touch on her academic life, as she is currently working toward a PhD. Thank you for listening.

Songwriters on Process

It's not easy being a songwriter. It's also not easy being a PhD student. I don't know how Uwade is able to do both simultaneously. Uwade is in the first year of her PhD program in Classics at Stanford University, and in this episode we explore how these two lives intersect. We also go deep into her songwriting process, which must involve a .38mm Muji black ink pen. It has to be black ink because "blue is too whimsical. Black ink is me telling myself, You have get real. No more fun and games. Black ink is a declaration, whereas blue ink is for play," Uwade told me.If you're a Fleet Foxes fan, you've heard Uwade's voice on their album Shore and may have seen her open for the band. Her new and insanely good album Florilegium is out now on Thirty Tigers.

Los Miserables Autor: Víctor Hugo Cuarta Parte: El idilio de la calle de Plumet y La epopeya de la calle de Saint-Denis Libro noveno ¿Dónde van? Cap III : El señor Mabeuf. La bolsa de Jean Valjean no le sirvió de nada a Mabeuf. El señor Mabeuf, con su venerable austeridad pueril, no aceptó el regalo de los astros; no admitió que una estrella pudiera convertirse en luises de oro. No adivinó que lo que le caía del cielo venía de Gavroche. Llevó la bolsa a la comisaría de policía del barrio y la depositó allí como objeto perdido que quien lo había encontrado ponía a disposición de quien lo reclamara. La bolsa se perdió, desde luego. Ni que decir tiene que nadie la reclamó y que no le sirvió de socorro al señor Mabeuf. Por lo demás, el señor Mabeuf había seguido cuesta abajo. Los experimentos con el añil no tuvieron mejor suerte en el Jardín Botánico que en su jardín de Austerlitz. El año anterior, le debía el sueldo a su ama de llaves; ahora, como ya hemos visto, debía el alquiler. El Monte de Piedad, cuando pasaron trece meses, vendió las planchas de cobre de los grabados de su Flora. Algún calderero debió de convertirlas en cazuelas. Tras quedarse sin las planchas, y sin poder ya siquiera completar los ejemplares desparejados de su Flora que aún tenía, le vendió por cuatro cuartos a un librero y chamarilero las planchas y el texto, como defectos. No le quedó ya nada de la obra de toda su vida. Se gastó el dinero de esos ejemplares. Cuando vio que aquel recurso tan parco se le agotaba, renunció a su jardín y lo dejó en barbecho. Antes, mucho antes, ya había renunciado a los dos huevos y al trozo de vaca que comía de vez en cuando. Cenaba pan y patatas. Había vendido los últimos muebles que le quedaban; luego, todo lo que tenía por partida doble en cuestión de ropa de cama, ropa de vestir y mantas; luego los herbolarios y las estampas; pero conservaba aún los libros más valiosos, varios de los cuales eran grandes rarezas, entre ellos Las cuadernas históricas de la Biblia, edición de 1560; La concordancia de las Biblias, de Pierre de Besse; Las margaritas de la margarita de las princesas, de Jean de La Haye, con dedicatoria a la reina de Navarra; el libro del Cargo y dignidad del embajador, por el señor de Villiers-Hotman; un Florilegium rabbinicum de 1644; un Tibulo de 1567 con esta espléndida inscripción: Venetiis, in œdibus Manutianis, y, finalmente, un Diógenes Laercio, impreso en Lyon en 1644 y donde estaban las famosas variantes del manuscrito 411, del siglo XIII, del Vaticano, y las de los dos manuscritos de Venecia, 393 y 394, que tan fructíferamente consultó Henri Estienne, y todas las partes en dialecto dórico que no están sino en el célebre manuscrito del siglo XII de la biblioteca de Nápoles. El señor Mabeuf nunca encendía la chimenea de su cuarto y se iba a la cama de día para no gastar velas. Parecía como si no tuviera ya vecinos; cuando salía, lo evitaban, y él se daba cuenta. La miseria de un niño le interesa a una madre; la miseria de un joven le interesa a una muchacha; la miseria de un viejo no le interesa a nadie. Es, de todos los desvalimientos, el más frío. No obstante, Mabeuf no había perdido del todo su serenidad infantil. Las pupilas recobraban cierta viveza cuando miraban los libros y sonreía cuando se fijaban en el Diógenes Laercio, que era un ejemplar único. El armario acristalado era el único mueble que conservaba además de los más indispensables. Un día le dijo la Plutarco: —No tengo con qué comprar la cena. Lo que llamaba la cena era un pan y cuatro o cinco patatas. —¿De fiado? —dijo el señor Mabeuf. —Ya sabe que no me fían.

Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber deve la sua fama di compositore alle Sonate a violino solo del 1681 dedicate all'arcivescovo e ripubblicate da Guido Adler nei Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich (V, 2), ma scrisse anche varie opere teatrali e molta musica sacra. Quale virtuoso, le sue opere lo rivelano padrone di tutte le difficoltà dell'epoca: le alte posizioni, la scordatura, le corde doppie e triple, gli arpeggi legati, staccati e balzellati, ecc. La sua musica offre pezzi graziosi e composizioni sentite, accanto ad altre che la mania del giuoco sonoro e del puro effetto rende piuttosto spiacevoli. Georg Muffat fu uno dei primi ad avvicinare, almeno in ambito musicale, i paesi europei, come egli stesso spiega in questa riflessione, posta in prefazione al Florilegium, Nobilis Juventus: “La mia professione è molto lontana dal tumulto delle armi e delle ragioni di Stato che le fanno impugnare. Mi occupo di note, di parole, e di suoni. Io mi esercito allo studio di una dolce Sinfonia: quando mischio delle arie francesi, o quelle dei tedeschi, o degli italiani, non è per invocare una guerra; ma piuttosto preludere forse all'armonia delle tante nazioni, all'amabile Pace.” Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber (1644-1704) - Partia VI in re major for two violins and basso continuo [00:05] From "Harmonia Artificioso-Ariosa: diversi mode accordata" (Salzburg, 1696) 1.

Florilegium is a noun that refers to a volume of writing. The Latin prefix F-L-O-R has given birth to many words likes ‘flower' and ‘florist.' Its path to becoming the origin of a word for a collection of books began with the word legere (lay JARE ay) with means ‘gather.' A florilegium once referred to a collection of books about flowers and later meant a collection of any books. Here's an example of our word of the day in use: For my research, I found a few books on the necessary topic, but I actually needed more books. Ideally, I needed a florilegium.

S2 E29: A Musician's perspective of LockdownAshley Solomon, Artistic Director of Florilegium, joins the podcast this week to talk about the world of musicians and how lockdown affected the world of live concerts. With 48 projects some 3 years in the planning being cancelled almost over night Ashley shares how he stayed connected to his players and his audience over the last 12 months. He explains what it was like having three kids home school, how live streaming home concerts saved his sanity and how he was able to create a socially distanced safe way to keep in house lessons going at Music College for his students. Ash talks openly about his experience and how demoralising it was to see two years of concert performances scrapped from the diary but as we start to move out of lockdown and Ashely's ensemble and orchestral look to their 30th celebrations in May 2021 he sees light at the end of the tunnel.

The Sixteen, Harry Christophers from "Monteverdi: Selva morale e spirituale, Vol. 1" (Coro) Buy at iTunes Music Store More On This Album Without doubt, Monteverdi was the greatest of the early baroque European composers. He revolutionized the music of the theater and the church by his dramatic and imaginative use of voices and instruments and by his daring harmonies and rhythms. Next to his Vespers of 1610, the Selva morale e spiritual of 1641 is his most significant and virtuosic collection of sacred music. Over the next few years we intend to record the complete publication with a variety of forces. His much performed Beatus vir is a mere appetizer for this delightful yet thrilling music.BYU Men's Chorus "Goin' Home" (mp3) from "The Pilgrim's Journey Home" (Tantara Records) Buy at iTunes Music Store More On This AlbumLift your spirits with a brand-new collection of inspirational folk hymns and songs.

Haganles Lugar!" (mp3) from "Bolivian Baroque Vol. 3" (Channel Classics Records) Buy at Napster Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album Welcome to our third volume of Bolivian Baroque music which was, unusually, recorded in three different venues, in two different countries almost 6250 miles apart. This time the majority of the CD was recorded in Holland (in both the Waalse Kerk in Amsterdam and the Doopsgezinde Kerk in Deventer) during Arakaendar Bolivia Choirís first tour of Europe with Florilegium in 2008. In addition we have included a number of solo organ pieces from the Bolivian archives which James Johnstone recorded on the restored anonymous 18th century Blockwerk organ in the Mission Church of Santa Ana de Velasco. This is the first European recording on this remarkable instrument, its raw sound recorded here for posterity. The music on this volume differs considerably from the other two Channel Classics recordings (CCS 22105 & CCS 24806) as it mainly showcases Arakaendar Bolivia, the choir I set up in 2005. They continue to thrive and have shown tremendous commitment and determination in preparing this challenging and varied programme. We were delighted to be nominated by BBC Music Magazine for the best choir recording of 2008 for our last CD recording, as well as receiving our 5th Editorís Choice from Gramophone magazine. I hope this new volume is received as warmly.The Choir of St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, Duncan Ferguson "Leroy Kyrie" (mp3) from "John Taverner: Sacred Choral Music" (Delphian Records) Buy at Napster Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album John Taverner brought the English florid style to its culmination and final flowering; his music is quite unlike anything written by his continental contemporaries and, viewed retrospectively, represents not only the culmination of one period but also the beginning of something new. In his debut recording with the critically acclaimed Edinburgh choir, Duncan Ferguson presents this music with forces akin to those of the sixteenth century ñ a small group of children and a larger number of men. The singers respond with their characteristic freshness, and an emotional authenticity born of the daily round of liturgical performance.Johann Sabastian Bach: MotetsVocalconsort Berlin, Marcus Creed from "Johann Sebastian Bach: Motets" (Harmonia Mundi) More On This Album Album will be availble online around March 22, 2011 The Vocalconsort Berlin was founded in 2003 and made its debut the same year in Monteverdi's LíOrfeo under the direction of RenÈ Jacobs at the Innsbruck Festival. The ensemble specialises in early and high Baroque repertoire, but also interprets Romantic and contemporary music. The Vocalconsort¥s composition can range from quartet to polychoral formations, including also solo performances. It sings both in concert and in operatic and theatrical productions. Under the direction of Marcus Creed, RenÈ Jacobs, Jos van Immerseel and Ottavio Dantone, the ensemble has worked with the Akademie f¸r Alte Musik Berlin and the Accademia Bizantina. With the Akademie f¸r Alte Musik Berlin, it has participated since 2006 in the projects of Sasha Waltz & Guests at Radialsystem V, the new venue for interaction of the arts on the Spree. Marcus Creed, artistic director of the SWR Vokalensemble (South West German Radio Choir) since 2003, studied at Kingís College Cambridge, Christ Church Oxford, and at the Guildhall School of Music in London. From 1977 to 1998 he lived in Berlin, where he was chorusmaster at the Deutsche Oper, taught lied interpretation at the Hochschule der K¸nste, and worked as pianist and conductor with the Gruppe Neue Musik and the Scharoun Ensemble. From 1987 he was artistic director of the RIAS Kammerchor, being awarded many international prizes for his recordings. He has formed close working relationships with the Akademie f¸r Alte Musik Berlin, the Freiburger Barockorchester and Concerto Kˆln, and has appeared at festivals in Berlin, Vienna, Salzburg, Montreux, Edinburgh, Lucerne, Innsbruck, Donaueschingen, Strasbourg, and Gˆttingen. He was appointed Professor of Choral Conducting at the Hochschule f¸r Musik in Cologne in 1998.
