Che bello scoprire una nuova generazione di compositori provenienti dall'America. Dopo aver parlato di donne del passato, in questo episodio ci contreremo su una di loro, Jennifer Higdon, vivente, che sta componendo opere di buona qualità, belle e spesso profonde. La Higdon è nata il 31 dicembre 1962 a Brooklyn, New York. A oggi, ha vinto un Premio Pulitzer e tre Grammy. In questa biografia, sono contento di scoprire qualcosa su di lei. Biografia di Jennifer Higdon La Higdon ha iniziato a suonare il flauto all'età di 15 anni. Tre anni dopo, si è laureata in flauto alla Bowling Green State University, dove è stata incoraggiata a esplorare la composizione. A 21 anni si era affermata come compositrice. Ha poi conseguito un diploma d'artista presso il Curtis Institute, dove ha studiato con David Loeb e Ned Rorem. Sono passati alcuni decenni e ora è diventata una figura di spicco della musica classica contemporanea. Ha scritto opere per orchestra, ensemble di fiati, ensemble da camera, voce e coro. Secondo Fanfare Magazine la sua musica ha “la particolarità di essere allo stesso tempo complessa, sofisticata ma facilmente accessibile emotivamente”. Secondo il Times di Londra è “radicata, ma intrisa di integrità e freschezza”. La League of American Orchestras riferisce che è una delle compositrici d'America più eseguite. Dicevamo che ha vinto dei premi, fra cui il Premio Pulitzer 2010 per il suo Concerto per violino e 3 Grammy Awards per la Migliore Composizione Classica Contemporanea per il suo Percussion Concerto (2010), per il suo Viola Concerto (2018) e per il suo Concerto per arpa (2020). Consigli per l'ascolto Opere orchestrali e concerti Viola Concerto (2015) - Vincitore del Grammy Award 2018 per la Migliore Composizione Classica Contemporanea. Percussion Concerto (2005) - Vincitore del Grammy Award 2010 per la Migliore Composizione Classica Contemporanea. Blue Cathedral per flauto, clarinetto e orchestra (1999) - Un delizioso pezzo orchestrale che è diventato uno dei preferiti dalle orchestre americane e dal loro pubblico. All Things Majestic per orchestra (1911) – Un pezzo di 25 minuti per orchestra che descrive 3 ambientazioni all'aperto (The Tetons, String Lake e The Snake River) e si conclude con una rappresentazione sonora di cattedrali. Opere da camera Sly Quartet Amazing Grace Sonata for Viola e Piano Dark Wood String Trio Opere corali O Magnum Mysterium (2002) – Un pezzo di sette minuti per piccolo coro. Love Came Down (2022) – Un'ambientazione calda e incantevole di una poesia natalizia di Christine Rossetti. Qualcuno ha definito questo pezzo “quattro minuti di pura bellezza”. Conoscevate Jennifer Higdon?

The woman worshipped Jesus. Jesus came to this world to reconcile us with God.
A simple invitation that led to a party, that led to a bit of drama but ultimately takes us on a journey of truth as to what it means to have grace like Jesus.
This painful year has made us clear on what we want for Christmas. Though Lexus and Mercedes-Benz are sure we want a gleaming ride with giant ribbons on the roof, we have no miles we want to drive. The ads all tease us with dark fantasies on Amazon or Netflix, but we still have our darkness to get through. The tech toys that we bought for sport have only one compelling use this year. We want each other more than gifts. We want the long and lingering embrace of two-year olds who won't let go; the bear hug from a distant friend; the real gatherings of real folk around a tree, a table, or a fire. We want the laughter never muted, carols sung by families on nights no longer silent. We want the deep security we find in holding, playing, eating with the ones we love in places we call home. So Christ came down because He couldn't bear the breach of space; the distance numbered in light-years; the loving words half-understood. He came to us in helplessness so we might know He needed love—our love, the warmth for which He fashioned us. He laid aside His rulership so that a two-year old could grip Him tight; a mother's tears could turn to joy, and bitter, broken men could heal. He came to make the lepers dance; to be the face the blind first saw; to hear the deaf sing harmony. His joy is us: we are the only gift He wants. Accept the grip of His embrace. And stay in grace. -Bill Knott

We say as a foundational point of the Christian faith, "God became man and dwelled among us." But do take moments to consider the realities of what it truly means that God became man. At ever point of His life, from His conception to His death, He entered into every suffering of fallen mankind. He willed Himself to suffer our entire existence that He might relieve us of our sufferings from the fall of man. Tonight, at the First Mass of Christmas, we ask God to reveal to us just how far He lowered Himself so that we may be raised up.

Pastor Chris Winans discusses 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, focusing on patience, love and kindness. Focusing on the season of Christmas, Pastor Chris illustrates that ultimately Christmas is not about giving and receiving gifts to people we like and love- this is good- but ultimately it is about God's patience, love and kindness for His enemies- us. That God sent His son to die for us, and to return to life from death, so that we may have eternal life with God- this is the ultimate gift and what Christmas truly means. www.cornerstonebrighton.com

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.An arts retreatAndrew Rosendorf of Minneapolis says he wouldn't be the playwright he is today without the support he received early in his career from the Tofte Lake Center.He wants artists at all levels of their career to know that applications for next summer's artist retreats are open now through the end of December. Andrew says: I just want you to imagine going to a pristine lake near Ely, Minnesota, that's adjacent to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. You paddleboard, you canoe, you wade feet into the lake. You sit around a fire pit at night looking up at the crystal-clear night sky, like you're at a planetarium. And you also get a work on your art surrounded by a community of artists. That's Tofte Lake Center. I find it's a soul-centering place that leaves lives and breathes the value that nature is nurture. It gives access to artists at all levels of disciplines, and identities: those who are emerging, parents, BIPOC artists, arts educators who need time to center their own work and small collaborative teams. I first got introduced to Toffee Lake Center because about 15 years ago, when I was in my late 20s, I went there to work on a play, and Liz Engelman, who is the founder and who runs Tofte Lake Center, said, “Come work on your play. We believe in you and your voice.” And for any artist starting out, there's a huge sense of imposter syndrome, and here was a place early in my career telling me I belong, and that's kind of everything for an artist.— Andrew RosendorfGratitude and celebrating loveKerry Johnson is the high school choir director in Worthington. This Sunday, she's headed to the Worthington Chamber Singers' Christmas concert. The theme of the concert is “Love Came Down,” and for this 30th anniversary performance they will sing a work they commissioned from Venezuelan composer Reinaldo Moya, entitled “Ya Germinaba.” The concert is Sunday, Dec. 8 at 2 p.m. at First United Methodist Church in Worthington. The concert is free, with a free-will offering. Kerry adds: Eric Parrish, the director, just really kind of has a knack for choosing themes and music that just really become more timely as the process of preparing that music goes on. This year, the focus is on hope and on gratitude and on celebrating love, and the fact that we are more similar than we're not. And I think this fall, especially, that's an important message to to put out into the world, just that we have a lot of common ground that we need to tap into. — Kerry JohnsonEscape into the world of dreams Mabel Houle appreciates the vibrant community of artists living in her Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis, and she recently got a sneak peek at a show by three local artists at the Vine Arts Center. “Dreams and Abstract Schemes” features the works of Kim Pickering, Susan Kolstad and Karen Brown. It will be on view for the next three Saturdays, including during this Saturday's Seward Frolic. Mabel appreciates art that transports us away from reality and into another world. Mabel says: I find Susan's collages of these earthy landscapes very soothing, very comforting. Her paper has such wonderful textures, and the colors are just calm and peaceful; and that's quite different [from] Kim's vivid dream images, which are more mind-bending, very colorful, very, very abstract — just beautiful images of something that's not in this world. Karen creates these very unique sculptures that are not completely human and not completely animal.— Mabel Houle
