Gustav Holst (1874-1934)

Composer of the Week

We often think of composers as solitary geniuses, scribbling away at their masterpieces, working alone. But this isn't always the case. Gustav Holst, most famous for composing The Planets, struggled all his life with neuritis, a condition that made his arms feel like “jelly overcharged with electricity.” It was frequently impossible for him to play or even write, so, to bring his vision of our solar system to life, he needed help. This week, Donald Macleod charts Holst's interplanetary expedition and discovers the unsung heroes who placed him amongst the stars.Music Featured: The Planets, Op 32 Toccata, H 153 Symphony in F Major, Op 8, H 47 “The Cotswolds” (2nd mvt, Elegy, Molto adagio & 3rd mvt, Scherzo, Presto - Allegretto) Sita, Op 23, H 89 (Interlude) The Mystic Trumpeter, Op 18 Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda, Op 26 (3rd Group, H99) The Hymn of Jesus, Op37 / H 140 (Hymn II, Hymn III, Hymn IV) 5 Partsongs, Op 12, H 61 St Paul's Suite, Op 29, No 2 Ballet music from 'The Perfect Fool' H150 (Op 39) Sāvitri, Op 25 (I - VI) Ode to Death, Op 38, H 144 Suite No 2 for Military Band in F major, Op 28 No 2, H106 Choral Symphony, Op 41 (2nd mvt, Song and Bacchanal) Scherzo for Orchestra, H192 Hammersmith - Prelude and Scherzo, H178, Op 52 Egdon Heath Op 47 (1st mvt, Adagio - Poco Allegro - Andante maestoso) Brook Green Suite The Planets, Op 32 (Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity) arr. for two pianosPresented by Donald Macleod Produced by Alice McKee for BBC Audio Wales & WestFor full track listings, including artist and recording details, and to listen to the pieces featured in full (for 30 days after broadcast) head to the series page for Gustav Holst (1874-1934) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0022sj0 And you can delve into the A-Z of all the composers we've featured on Composer of the Week here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3cjHdZlXwL7W41XGB77X3S0/composers-a-to-z

What is National Poetry Writing Month?Welcome, art enthusiasts and wordsmiths alike, to another episode of Create Art Podcast! We are diving headfirst into the enchanting world of poetry as we celebrate National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo). This annual event, which takes place every April, encourages poets and aspiring writers around the globe to embrace their creativity and commit to writing a poem each day for the entire month.The Beauty of National Poetry Writing Month:NaPoWriMo, similar to its prose-centric counterpart National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), is a celebration of the written word and the boundless creativity that can flow when one dedicates themselves to a daily practice. Poets of all levels of expertise are invited to take part, from seasoned wordsmiths to those just dipping their toes into the vast ocean of verse.Create Art Podcast has always been a haven for artists to share their creative processes, and NaPoWriMo offers a unique opportunity for poets to reflect on their craft. With a daily commitment to producing poetry, participants discover new facets of their writing style, experiment with various forms, and explore uncharted emotional territories.Prompt for todayLast but not least, here's our optional prompt for the day. Today, we'd like to challenge you to write a poem that is inspired by a piece of music, and that shares its title with that piece of music. Need an example? Here's A. Van Jordan's “Que Sera Sera” and Adrian Matejka's “Soave Sia Il Vento.”Poem for Todayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W-o5Y_GunUJupiter The Bringer of Jollity 17 April 24 To be born as the father of the gods was born In such a similar way Brings us both to level ground I can only imagine that these were the sounds Echoing through the universe to mark both of our births When the members of the orchestra reach that point of the crash I am transported to that fateful day After the birth, the horns come in And coddle the youngster Making them warm and feel comforted The safest place in the world The march of time starts The fun times of youth are sprinkled here and there With the sounds of flutes and triangles The first challenge is encountered And the refrain returns of warmth and comfort The march picks up The pace quickens And the birth of our progeny happens All is silent And the process begins again And the pace slows back down And we enjoy the moments Basking in the pride we feel Trying to make these moments last forever We get to encounter what our predecessors felt when they held us The march slows as our bodies age The greatest things happen And we instead of watching our growth We watch theirs And then the begin the process And we as grandparents are doubly blessed We see the process happen again And again if we are lucky And we look to see the process happen one more...

It is easy to be amazed, even astonished in the presence of beauty. But it is just as easy to forget it, given how easily distracted we are by so many things. If it is true that what we pay attention to, we remember; and what we remember becomes our anticipated future, then we don't just recall beauty for the sake of itself, we do so in order to shape the futures of our lives that we anticipate. And this is as much true for the parts of our stories that are traumatized as those for which we have fond memories.   Listen in as Pepper and Curt wade into how committing beauty to memory doesn't just remind us of a past we love; it transforms our past traumas into futures we would otherwise find hard to imagine.   . . . .

Today's episode is the weekly News Roundup for May 6, 2022. In this episode I go over the results of the recent statewide and local elections, talk about what may happen to women's right to an abortion in Ohio if the Supreme Court does indeed overturn Roe v. Wade, cover a new restaurant/grocery store coming to downtown Dayton, and preview things happening next week and later this month. A complete transcript for this episode is available at discoverdaytonpodcast.com!   Transcript: Hello and welcome to the Discover Dayton podcast, the show that's all about the Gem City's past, present, and future. I'm Arch Grieve and I'm your host, and today's episode is the weekly news roundup for May 5th, 2022. There's a lot that happened last week, including local and statewide elections, an increase in the likelihood that Ohio will no longer permit abortions to take place, a new restaurant and grocery store coming to downtown Dayton, and lots of things to do next week and throughout this month. You won't want to miss this episode, so stay tuned.    Well, the first of what will likely be two Ohio primaries took place this past Tuesday, and former Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley won the Democratic primary race for Ohio Governor with 65% of the vote, while Mike Dewine won the Republican primary with 48%. The two face off now head to head in the general election later this year on November 8th, with Whaley already becoming the first woman of a major party in Ohio to earn the nomination for governor. In the Secretary of State Race, current Secretary Frank LaRose won the Republican primary, and he will face Democrat Chelsea Clark, who was unopposed. In the race for Ohio's next US Senator Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan won the Democratic primary with close to 70% of the vote, while author JD Vance won the Republican primary with a plurality of about 32%. Morgan Harper, who came on this show recently, received about 18% of the vote in the Democratic primary. Moving closer to home, Dayton blogger David Esrati won the Democratic primary by a plurality with about 31% of the electorate, defeating Baxter Stapleton, who also appeared on the show recently. Esrati will face off against Mike Turner, who ran unopposed in the primary race. Also locally the one candidate who appeared on this show and won was Angelina Jackson, who will now face Judge Robert Hanseman in the fall in the race to be Montgomery County's Common Pleas Court Judge. Jordan Wortham won the Republican primary race for Montgomery County Commissioner, beating Rennes Bowers by just .2%. Board of Elections workers noted that turnout was low, with just 21% of eligible voters actually going to the polls.    The City of Dayton is utilizing a new strategy to try to increase the amount of affordable housing in the city, which a local nonprofit estimated will need an additional 3,800 new rental units and 4,600 new units for sale by 2026. Recently, the city put together a roundtable for community stakeholders, which the city hopes will put forward recommendations on how to increase the supply of housing in the area while also preserving existing housing. The committee is expected to provide recommendations on things like how to preserve and expand its housing supply, where to put new housing, how to improve code enforcement, and how best the city can use its resources to help alleviate the problem. The process, which began in March, is expected to last between six to nine months.   Dayton Police are urging drivers to slow down in the wake of a deadly crash that killed four people in Dayton this past Sunday at North Gettysburg St. and James Avenue. The driver of the car is reported to have lost control and slammed into a phone pole. Police say that this is part of a spike in reckless driving accidents in Dayton compared to this time last year, which includes 14 fatal crashes this year so far, an increase of 75% from last year during the same time.    The City of Dayton has also been in the news recently for its new street parking app, which can be found at 1,300 parking spaces downtown already. The city claims that the app helps them manage parking more efficiently through what City Manager Shelley Dickstein calls a “single, centralized system.” The city also says that the app is more convenient for people visiting the downtown area, as they can now extend their parking sessions without having to return to the meter and get alerts when their time is about to expire. The Parking Pass system is available through your app store, although you can still pay with change or a credit card (in some locations) as well.    Marijuana advocates are upset at state lawmakers, who they have accused in a recent court filing of trying to circumvent the state statute process and keep their ballot measure off the ballot in November. The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol filed suit against the state in Franklin County recently, arguing that state officials are illegally trying to keep their marijuana legalization bill off the ballot because Republican party leaders are opposed to recreational marijuana's legalization. The ballot measure would allow Ohioans over the age of 21 to buy and possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana as well as be able to grown their own plants at home. The controversy is over whether or not the coalition got their ballot measure submitted and approved in time for it to be eligible.    Also happening at the state level, abortion rights advocates are concerned about the recent Supreme Court decision that's been leaked recently at the federal level because Ohio legislators have two bills that have been called “trigger bans,” which will go into effect in Ohio in the event that the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, which seems all but certain to do later this year after a draft opinion written by Justice Alito was leaked recently. The bills are Ohio Senate Bill 123 and Ohio House Bill 598. Here in Dayton a rally for reproductive rights was held on Tuesday, with some participants dressed as characters from the Handmaid's Tale, the Hulu series about a dystopian future where authoritarian religious conservatives take over the American government.     The popular downtown Dayton coffee shop, Third Perk, will be opening a restaurant in West Dayton that will feature southern-style cooking. The new location would have carry-out service, and owner Juanita Darden is applying to receive $50,000 from the city's West Dayton Development Trust Fund to get the project started, in addition to the $200,000 that Third Perk will be investing. The restaurant would open on the site of an old restaurant at 3907 W. Third St.    Another restaurant that is opening even sooner and coming to downtown Dayton is Tony and Pete's Grocery and Cold Cuts, which is expected to open later this month in Dayton's Fire Blocks District. The store will have a small curated grocery section, which will include things like milk and eggs and beer and wine. There will also be a sandwich counter where people can order cold and hot sandwiches, salads, and sides.    If you're downtown this weekend on Saturday or Sunday in the UD area just know that restaurants and other places may be busy as UD holds its graduation services over the course of the two days. They have a new record number of undergraduates earning degrees at 1,655, and over 2,000 students will be awarded degrees in total.    A local filmmaker, Collin Brazie, is going to be premiering his new movie “Foxhole,” which is told from the perspective of five soldiers from three different wars, including the American Civil War, World War I, and the Iraq War. Brazie earned his MFA in film production and cinematography and specializes in narrative, documentary, and branded content. The premier will take place tomorrow, Saturday, May 7, at The Neon at 4:00pm. Ticket prices are $10.50 and can be purchased at the box office or neonmovies.com.   And now, here are some things to do next week and over the course of the remainder of this month:   Mariah Ivey, Thomas Ellison, and Siri Imani will be performing tonight, Friday May 6th, at the PNC Arts Annex. They are the organizers of the program Broken English: Dayton, and are partnering with visual artists Zuri Ali and Jamaal Durr for the pre-show, which will feature cocktails and artwork by the two artists.

Gustav Holst originally wrote “The Planets” for a piano duet, but he couldn’t bear to hear his “Neptune” movement played this way. He believed Neptune was too distant and mysterious a planet to be represented by a piano, so he composed this movement for an organ. Later, he decided to score the whole work for an orchestra. Hear this performance, conducted by Eugene Ormandy—do you think it sounds as mysterious as Holst wanted it to sound?

London Symphony Orchestra Today's episode will be a special feature on the London Symphony Orchestra, also known as LSO. LSO is widely regarded to be one of the world's leading orchestras, with over 100 years of performing experience. LSO has performed all across the world and even recorded soundtracks for films, such as Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. In 2000, LSO launched their own classical label, LSO Live. Since then LSO Live has become one of the world's most talked about classical labels. Today we will be celebrating LSO Live's 10 year anniversary by playing samples from some of their best recordings and featuring a track from their newest release titled Verdi: Otello. Enjoy! video platform video management video solutions video player Sir Colin Davis, London Symphony Orchestra "Enigma Variations" from "Elgar: Enigma Variations" (LSO Live) Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at eMusic Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album During his time as Principal Conductor of the LSO, Sir Colin Davis gained a reputation as the leading interpreter of Elgar’s music and recorded the composer’s symphonies and Dream of Gerontius for LSO Live. Elgar himself was one of the LSO’s first Principal Conductors and the orchestra premiered many of his works, including the Introduction & Allegro for Strings. June 2007 sees the 150th anniversary of Elgar’s birth. The Enigma Variations was Elgar’s breakthrough work and remains one of his most popular. Although it is often thought of as whimsical and the epitome of “Englishness”, in reality it is a thrilling and ravishingly beautiful masterpiece. Sir Colin Davis, London Symphony Orchestra "Messiah" from "Handel: Messiah" (LSO Live) Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Amazon MP3 Buy at eMusic More On This Album Handel’s masterpiece uses short texts from the Bible to tell the story of Christ's birth, death and resurrection. Imbued with a deep humanity and written with the imagination of a composer at the peak of powers, Messiah is intimate yet dramatic and includes some of Handel's best-loved music.Sir Colin Davis, London Symphony Orchestra "Má vlast" from "Smetana: Má vlast" (LSO Live) Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album Inspired by the mythology and pastoral beauty of his Czech homeland, Smetana’s six tone poems that form Ma vlást (My Fatherland) is one of the best examples of Nationalism in music. The stirring second movement depicts the river Vltava as it flows through the countryside and into Prague. Struck with deafness in 1874, Smetana would never hear a performance of what would become his most popular work. Concert Reviews ‘Colin Davis's performance of Smetana’s Má Vlast with the London Symphony Orchestra was an irresistible pageant of Czech patriotic fervor, a depiction of ancient battles and pastoral idylls, as well as a revelation of the work’s symphonic integrity ’The Guardian (UK), 12 May 2005 ‘the LSO’s unforced brilliance constantly shining forth … The players rose to the occasion with the virtuosity and commitment that are their hallmark. Under Davis’s direction, Smetana’s depiction of natural phenomena and rustic scenes sprang to life’ Evening Standard (UK), 11 May 2005 ‘Yet the Smetana itself holds no terrors, least of all for Sir Colin Davis and the London Symphony Orchestra. In the first poem, how proudly Vysehrad, the guardian rock of Prague, stood out fortissimo on the skyline! And few musical rivers have accelerated with the natural grace of Davis’s Vltava, or begun its course with such lightly charming trickling flutes’ The Times (UK), 12 May 2005 Valery Gergiev, London Symphony Orchestra, Elena Mosuc, Zlata Bulycheva, London Symphony Chorus "Symphony No. 2" from "Mahler: Symphony No. 2" (LSO Live) Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album ‘Faced with the London Symphony Orchestra's concentrated glare and attack, I considered cowering under my seat ’The Times (UK) ‘an account of searing intensity ... The pure, visceral thrill of the final bars,greeted with an enthusiastic ovation from the packed audience,crowned a very fine performance of this great work’ MusicalCriticsm.com (UK)Bernard Haitink, Twyla Robinson, Karen Cargill, John Mac Master, London Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Chorus "Symphony No. 9 "Choral"" from "Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 1-9" (LSO Live) Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album Benchmark Beethoven Cycle - BBC Music Magazine (UK) Classical Recordings of the Year - New York Times (US) CDs of the Year - Svenska Dagbladet (Sweden) ‘a towering achievement’ The Times (UK) CDs of the Year ‘Few music lovers saw this one coming ... Haitink has rarely sounded more suitably agitated. Even the problematic Triple Concerto has rare drama and purpose; this recording may be the best ever’ Philadelphia Enquirer (US) ‘simply masterful Beethoven … Capped by a magisterial account of the Ninth Symphony, this is the Beethoven set for our time. Even if you already have umpteen other recordings of these works, you really owe it to yourself to hear this new set’ Chicago Tribune (US) Beethoven redefined what a symphony could be, giving his works a dramatic narrative and emotional intensity that sent blood flowing through the veins of music and set the tone for Romanticism in music. Many of the symphonies have their own journeys; from darkness to light in the Fifth symphony, from death to rebirth in the Eroica, or from a bleak void to a glorious vision of love and tolerance in the Choral Symphony. London Symphony Orchestra "The Planets, Op. 32: IV. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" from "Holst: The Planets" (LSO Live) Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at eMusic Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album Gustav Holst's The Planets was born of his fascination with astrology. His portrayal of the planets of the solar system, from the serene, romantic venus to the warlike Mars and the magisterial Jupiter, has become an absolute classic and contains some of the most well-known music of the 20th centruy. London Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Chorus, Sir Colin Davis, Gerald Finley, Allan Clayton, Ben Johnson, Matthew Rose "Otello" from "Verdi: Otello" (LSO Live) More On This Album The release of Sir Colin Davis’s eagerly anticipated recording of Verdi’s Otello marks the 10th anniversary of the LSO Live label. Opera has always formed a major part of the label’s output and among Sir Colin’s greatest triumphs was his Grammy Award-winning recording of Verdi’s final opera, Falstaff. One of the world’s most exciting young tenors joins Sir Colin to sing the title role on the new recording. New Zealander Simon O’Neill stepped in at short notice to the concerts, making his debut in the role (although he had studied it with Domingo), delivering what was universally acclaimed as a sensational performance. The villainous Jago is sung by Gerald Finley and Otello’s wife Desdemona by Anne Schwanewilms. Verdi had retired from opera following the premiere of Aida in 1871 but was eventually persuaded by his publisher to work with the librettist Arrigo Boito. As with Falstaff, Verdi’s final opera on which they would subsequently collaborate, they turned to Shakespeare for inspiration. Otello, which was premiered in 1887, marked a significant evolutionary development in Italian opera and is widely regarded as one of the great operatic masterpieces. Simon O’Neill joins Sir Colin and the LSO again for performances of Janáček’s Glagolitic Mass in October before singing Siegmund in Die Walküre in a production at La Scala conducted by Daniel Barenboim. Gerald Finley performs in Guillaume Tell in Rome in October and Pelléas et Mélisande at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in December. ‘This was an electrifying account of a masterpiece, conducted with an explosive energy that belies Sir Colin’s eighty years and pushed the LSO to the top of its game. Simon O’Neill made a tremendous debut in the title-role, giving notice that he is the best heroic tenor to emerge over the last decade … Gerald Finley was an arrestingly crisp and snakily plausible Iago … Verdi’s great music drama shone in all its power and glory’ Daily Telegraph (UK) concert review ‘a performance of Verdi’s opera that had finesse, fervour and glorious lyricism … Such is Davis’s rapport with the LSO and its rapant Chorus that he can unleash greater musical power with an elegant flick of the baton than most conductors muster with flailing arms. Gerald Finley was a superb Iago: insiduously sinister, yet sustaining a wonderfully suave line. And the New Zealand tenor Simon O’Neill gave an immense performance … he will make the Moor his own’ The Times (UK) concert review ‘a thrilling performance from beginning to end … an evening to treasure; not just for Davis’s contribution, but for an impressive debut from the young New Zealand tenor Simon O’Neill. O’Neill mastered Otello’s many moods with a striking musicality and an eveness of tone throughout the range. He will go far, and promises to be the outstanding Wagner Heldentenor we have been longing far … the men, led by Gerald Finley’s totally convincing and committed Iago, were splendid’ Mail on Sunday (UK) concert review
