We'll focus on the Missa Solemnis, Op. 123, composed between 1819 and 1823.
Can music teach us how to live? In this interview Evan Rosa invites Daniel Chua—a musicologist, composer at heart, and Professor of Music at the University of Hong Kong—to discuss his latest book, Music & Joy: Lessons on the Good Life.Together they discuss the vastly different ancient and modern approaches to music; the problem with seeing music for consumption and entertainment; the ways different cultures conceive of music and wisdom: from Jewish to Greek to Christian; seeing the disciplined spontaneity of jazz improvisation fitting with both a Confucian perspective on virtue, and Christian newness of incarnation; and finally St. Augustine, the worshipful jubilance of singing in the midst of one's work to find rhythm and joy that is beyond suffering; and a final benediction and blessing for every music lover.Throughout the interview, we'll offer a few segments of the music Daniel discusses, including Beethoven's Opus 132 and the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th symphony, and John Cage's controversial 4'33”—which Daniel recommends we listen to every single day, and which we're going to play during this episode toward the end.Show NotesMusic and Joy: Lessons on the Good Life by Daniel Chua (https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300264210/music-and-joy/)Can music teach us how to live?The emotional relationship we have with musicEveryone identifies with musicHow did you come to love music and write on it?MusicologistThe Sound of Music soundtrack (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeSQLYs2U8X0nTi15MHjMAWim3PxIyEqI)Listening to music at a young ageLove of Beethoven as a childWhat about Beethoven in particular spoke to you?

Vai zini, ka Rīgas Doma ērģelēm ir divi spēles galdi, kurus ļoti radoši mācējis izmantot Rīgas Doma ērģelnieks Vilhelms Bergners (1837–1907)? Jāpiebilst, ka mūsdienās būvētajām lielformāta ērģelēm divi atsevišķi novietoti spēles galdi ir samērā ierasta parādība. Tas ievērojami atvieglo ērģelnieka sadarbību ar orķestri vai kori, īpaši jau lielformas skaņdarbu izpildījumā. Pateicoties moderno tehnoloģiju izmantošanai ērģeļbūvē, tas ir kļuvis diezgan vienkārši realizējams. Bet Rīgas Doma ērģeles taču ir mehānisks instruments! Kādēļ gan veidot tik komplicētu mehānisku sistēmu, lai kādu daļu no milzīgā instrumenta pārceltu uz atsevišķa spēles galda? Pie tam tāda, kurš atrodas stāvu zemāk, uz zemākā balkona? Viens no apsvērumiem bijis tīri praktisks. Mazo spēles galdu, kas bija aprīkots ar vienu manuāli un pedāļa klaviatūru, varēja izmantot, piemēram, kristībās. Ar gaisa piegādi tad viegli tika galā viens plēšu minējs. Tikmēr Doma ērģelnieks Vilhelms Bergners (juniors) šajā otrajā spēles galdā saskatīja arī nozīmīgākas muzikālās iespējas. Būdams izcils aranžētājs, viņš saprata, ka, uzticot orķestra instrumentu partijas ērģelēm, tās pilnvērtīgāk sadalāmas starp diviem ērģelniekiem. Tā, piemēram, 1902. gadā kopā ar savu skolnieku un pēcteci ērģelnieku Haraldu Kreicburgu un Baha biedrības mūziķiem, Bergners atskaņoja paša aranžēto J. S. Baha kantāti pirmajai svētdienai pēc Lieldienām („Halt im Gedächtnis Jesum Christ“). Šajā pašā koncertā aranžijā dubultērģelēm izskanējusi arī Bēthovena „Missa Solemnis”, kā arī Hendeļa un Haidna oratoriju fragmenti. 1900. gadā Baha kantāte „Ein' feste Burg” (BWV 80) bija Bergnera aranžējums solistiem, jauktajam korim, dubultērģelēm un pūšaminstrumentiem. Ar Bergnera vadītās Baha biedrības mūziķiem un dažiem pieaicinātiem solistiem 1886. gadā Rīgas Domā izskanējusi arī Baha „Mateja pasija”, bet 1901. gadā noticis Baha biedrības nu jau 100. koncerts. (Viens no Baha biedrības dibinātājiem 1864. gadā bija Vilhelms Bergners pats. Līdz 1904. gadam viņš bija arī Baha biedrības kora un orķestra diriģents). Protams, daudzos koncertos neiztrūka arī abu Vilhelmu Bergneru – seniora un juniora – pašu sacerētie opusi. Vilhelma Bergnera juniora iedvesmas pilnie centieni nepalika bez Doma Administrācijas ievērības un novērtējuma. Viņam bija ierādīts dienesta dzīvoklis, kura īri apmaksāja Doma draudze. Tāpat viņš saņēma vienu trešdaļu no paša organizēto koncertu ieņēmumiem. Saasinoties veselības problēmām, tika apmaksāti Bergnera braucieni uz Karlsbādes kūrortu. Arī sirmā vecumā Bergners centās būt tuvu ne tikai Rīgas, bet arī Eiropas mūzikas dzīves epicentriem. Tā viņš lūdzis piešķirt viņam atvaļinājumu, lai dotos uz Baireitas Mūzikas festivālu. Bergnera mūžs noslēdzās 1907. gadā. Lai arī viņa kapa vieta Rīgas Lielajos kapos ir zināma, diemžēl kapa piemineklis, kuram ziedojumus vāca visi ar Bergneru saistītie mūziķi, ir gājis zudībā. Toties Rīgas Vēstures un kuģniecības muzeja krātuvē glabājas viņa diriģenta zizlis. Vilhelma Bergnera lolojums un piepildītais sapnis par Rīgas Doma ērģelēm ar diviem spēles galdiem nu jau 140 gadus ir mūsu acu priekšā.

Der Dirigent Jordi Savall hat mit seinem Barock-Ensemble "Le Concert des Nations" die neun Symphonien Beethovens aufgenommen - und am Ende dieser Reihe steht die "Missa solemnis". Laszlo Molnar hat sich die Neueinspielung angehört.
The Missa solemnis in D major, Op. 123, is a Solemn Mass composed by Ludwig van Beethoven from 1819 to 1823. It was first performed on 7 April 1824 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, under the auspices of Beethoven's patron Prince Nikolai Galitzin; an incomplete performance was given in Vienna on 7 May 1824, when the Kyrie, Credo, and Agnus Dei were conducted by the composer. It is generally considered one of the composer's supreme achievements and, along with Bach's Mass in B minor, one of the most significant Mass settings of the common practice period. Written around the same time as his Ninth Symphony, it is Beethoven's second setting of the Mass, after his Mass in C major, Op. 86. The work was dedicated to Archduke Rudolf of Austria, archbishop of Olmütz, Beethoven's foremost patron as well as pupil and friend. The copy presented to Rudolf was inscribed "Von Herzen—Möge es wieder—Zu Herzen gehn!" ("From the heart – may it return to the heart!")

An episode from 1/1/24: Tonight, a cold has forced me to hand over the episode almost entirely to some of the greatest music ever written. Here are excerpts of my favorite pieces from Ludwig van Beethoven (1750-1827). It's hard to think of music that is more passionate, introspective, uplifting, brooding, mournful, and joyous. The sources for the music I use are: Excerpts from the Ninth Symphony/Op. 125 is conducted by Eugen Duvier. Excerpts from the Piano Sonatas (#1 and #2/Op. 2, #8/Op. 13, #13 and #14/Op. 27 #15/Op. 28, #17/Op. 31, #21/Op. 53, #22/Op. 54, #27/Op. 90), and the Fifth Piano Concerto/Op. 73 come from the complete recordings by Claudio Arrau. The excerpt from the Op. 70 “Ghost” Trio, from the Trio Bell'Arte. Excerpts from String Quartet 13/Op. 130 and String Quartet 15/Op. 132 come from the recordings by the Quartteto Italiano. Excerpts from Missa Solemnis, Op. 123, is conducted by John Eliot Gardiner. The excerpt from Robert Greenberg lecture comes from his Great Courses set on the Piano Sonatas.

Few mass settings pose more questions of listeners than Beethoven's Missa solemnis. A fervent meditation on faith and doubt, the piece spans moments of ecstasy and angst, soaring beauty and near-operatic theatricality. Riccardo Muti leads this rarely performed score with a thrilling quartet of international singers and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.

En prat med Grete Pedersen om Beethovens Missa Solemnis - hans største og beste verk etter hans egen mening - som Det Norske Solistkor fremfører med solister og orkester i Oslo og Moss 10 og 11. mars.
Diesmal macht Matussek einen auf „Diversity“: Musik von Bob Dylan über Reinhard Mey bis Mozarts Credo aus der „Missa Solemnis“. Die Themen: von kriegerischem Geheul der Baerbock und Strack-Zimmermann, Broder und Fleischhauer, über Olaf Scholzes Rücktritt bis zur Energiewende und deren Verheerungen der Landschaft. Alles angeregt durch überaus witzige Post von Hörern. Ebenso thematisiert wird der rührende Versuch des CDU-Pappkameraden Merz, Maaßen loszuwerden, sowie die Spitzfindigkeit, zwischen Islam und Islamismus zu unterscheiden. Matussek bekennt, dass er mit beiden nichts anfangen kann, er interessiert sich mehr für deren 300 000 christliche Opfer jährlich. Anlässlich seiner Frank-Zappa-Sendung ein Rückblick auf dessen Konzert im Berliner Sportpalast, das von linken Chaoten gestürmt wurde und Zappas Verdikt, dass die Kinder der Nazis eben immer noch Nazis seien, auch wenn sie behaupten, die neue Linke zu sein.

Synopsis If you had arrived early for the gala reopening celebration of Vienna's Josephstadt Theater on today's date in 1822, you might have heard the theater orchestra frantically rehearing a new overture by Beethoven. They had just received the score, and so at the last minute were getting their first look at the new piece they would perform that evening. Beethoven's “Consecration of the House” Overture was a last-minute commission and interrupted Beethoven's work on two bigger projects: his “Missa Solemnis” and the Ninth Symphony. This overture begins with a series of solemn chords, continues with a stately march, and closes with a fugue – a tribute to Handel, whose music was much on Beethoven's mind at the time. One hundred forty-six years later to the day, another festive occasion was observed with new music, when, on October 3rd, 1968, the New York Philharmonic, as part of its 125th anniversary celebrations, premiered a new orchestral work by the American composer William Schuman. Leonard Bernstein conducted. Schuman's piece was entitled “To Thee Old Cause,” and was scored for solo oboe and orchestra. Originally, Schumann planned an upbeat, celebratory work, but the 1968 assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy changed all that and more somber music, dedicated to their memory, was the result.

Elin Manahan Thomas compares recordings of Beethoven's Missa solemnis and chooses her favourite. Beethoven's setting of the Solemn Mass is one of the monuments of choral music. Written between 1819 and 1823, it is widely thought of as one of Beethoven's towering achievements. It was dedicated to Archduke Rudolf of Austria, one of Beethoven's most generous patrons as well as pupil and friend. The copy given to Rudolf was inscribed with the phrase: "From the heart – may it return to the heart!"

Sarah Fritz is a writer, singer, and public musicologist. Her passionate advocacy on social media seeks to change the dialogue around marginalized musicians and composers in classical music. An expert on the history of Clara Schumann, her popular Twitter account is dedicated to telling truths and debunking myths around the infamous composer/pianist. She's an in-demand speaker and lecturer, most recently at Northeastern University and at the launch of the Cambridge University Press book, Clara Schumann Studies. Her writing on Clara Schumann re-examines with a modern lens one of the most powerful musicians in classical music history. Fritz places Schumann's music and life in relevant context using overlooked research that includes fresh perspectives on Schumann's personal and professional relationships with her husband, Robert, and her close professional friend, Johannes Brahms. Fritz's work has appeared in numerous publications including VAN Magazine, The Schubertian, and American Guild of Organists Magazine. She maintains an in-depth research blog and a monthly newsletter on Clara Schumann with a novel forthcoming. Under her singer hat as mezzo-soprano Sarah Sensenig, she is a member of the voice faculty of the Westminster Conservatory at Rider University.

Gstaad Menuhin Festival Podcast - Die Geschichten hinter den Meisterwerken der klassischen Musik
Auch wenn er kein eifriger Kirchgänger ist, lässt Beethoven immer einen aufrichtigen Glauben erkennen. Als er fühlt, dass sein Körper ihm nicht mehr gehorcht, verinnerlicht er sein ganzes Leben (seine vollständige Taubheit setzt etwa gegen 1820 ein) und wendet sich zugleich dem Himmel zu. Im Jahre 1818 veranlasst ihn die bevorstehende Inthronisation des ihm besonders nahestehenden Erzherzogs Rudolph von Österreich als Erzbischof von Olmütz, die Komposition einer Messe von gewaltigen Ausmassen in Angriff zu nehmen, wie sie ihm schon lange vorgeschwebt hat. Sein schlechter Gesundheitszustand, aber auch sein hoher künstlerischer Anspruch hindern ihn daran, diese Missa solemnis rechtzeitig zu vollenden. Erst 1823 kann er das Werk Erzherzog Rudolph übergeben. Doch es gleicht einer musikalischen Kathedrale. Denn Beethoven war vor allem bemüht, das Erbe von Bach und mehr noch von Händel anzutreten, den er als den grössten Komponisten aller Zeiten ansah.

John Eliot Gardiner dirigiert am 24./25. September in München Chor und Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. Gespielt wird Beethovens "Missa solemnis", das größte Werk Beethovens, wie Gardiner sagt.
Synopsis Today's date marks the birthday in 1885 of María Joaquina de la Portilla Torres, in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. Under her married name of Maria Grever, she became the first female Mexican composer to achieve international fame. She composed her first song at age four, studied in France with Claude Debussy among others, and at 18, one of her songs sold 3 million copies. At age 22, she married Leo A. Grever, an American oil company executive, moved to New York City, and by the 1930s was composing for Paramount and 20th Century Fox films. Her best-known song is probably "What A Difference A Day Makes" (originally "Cuando vuelva a tu lado"), written in 1934. Her songs have been recorded by singers ranging from the Andrews Sisters and Frank Sinatra to Dinah Washington and Aretha Franklin to Plácido Domingo and Juan Diego Flórez. “I am interested in Jazz and Modern Rhythms,” said Grever, “but above all, in Mexican Music … There is such a cultural richness in Mexican Music, its Hispanic and indigenous origins ... It is my wish and yearning to present these native rhythms and tunes from a real perspective, but with the necessary flexibility to appeal to a universal audience."

Eine "zu große Ehrfurcht" habe Riccardo Muti bislang von einer Aufführung abgehalten. Erst jetzt in der pandemiebedingten Zwangspause habe er sein Vorhaben angehen und mit seinem Lieblingsorchester, den Wiener Philharmonikern, verwirklichen können. Am 13. August bei den Salzburger Festspielen war es nun so weit.
Another one of those mind bending sessions. Having spent the past five years chatting with Jennifer on a weekly basis, only starting to film about a year ago, we have 65 podcasts of us chatting with people on the flipside. We have three books of interviews "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" where we discuss how we met, the process we use, and the many verifications that have occurred on camera in her office, in restaurants. In this case, one can search through these podcasts to hear other verificiations. Each week we "enter our classroom" where people are standing by waiting to chat with us. The books were named because Tom Petty described the process of "getting onto the clipboard of Luana the way someone might try to get a VIP pass to backstage at a concert." My friend of 20 years, who passed in 1996, starting showing up to me and to family members over the years. Then when I met Jennifer Luana started showing up weekly - that is helping us to access people on the flipside, and vice versa. On the flipside they describe her participation as "showing how it's done." In the six years of doing this, I've often "asked for people to come forward" - and most of the time Jennifer tells me who it is that I've asked for - said their name aloud prior to a session - in one to three tries. Sometimes it takes longer - because again, they're putting images in her head that lead her to say something. So for example, if someone shows up named "Fred" - she might see her husband Fred. And then from there I ask questions about the identify of whomever shows up. This was one of those examples. She said "somewhere is here that wants to speak to us, but neither of us would know him." So it took me the time it took me to figure out who that might be. Carl Laemmle was a prolific film producer in the 1920s and 30's. He dies at the age of 72 in 1939, making such hit films as "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Phantom of the Opera" "Dracula" and "Frankenstein." I was not aware of the films he made - but doing this research after the podcast, I realize last night while watching "Singing in the Rain" with their parody of the first sound films, I noted to my wife that if one watches "Dracula" (1931) carefully, the actors move over to where a microphone is hidden in a plant or a lamp or somewhere in the room to pick up the sound. In the film "Singing in the Rain" they had a character with a German accent playing the role of the film director beside himself with fury about planting the microphones on set - and I realize as I write this sentence it was likely a parody of Germans like Carl who emigrated in the 1880's. Everything I report is accurate - in that it was Carl who suggested that Amelia Earhart star in a film about herself, and how she and Mary Pickford wrote a screenplay together, excerpted in George Putnam's posthumous biography of his missing wife. Fans of "Hacking the Afterlife" know that we interviewed Amelia extensively and that I've spent 30 years gathering eyewitness reports that claim she was captured, and died in Saipan. (EarhartOnSaipan.com is a webpage filled with details of that sage). But in this instance, it was Amelia who brought Carl in - and he wanted to "give it a shot" and be interviewed by us. After my incredulousness wore off (not about the fact he was there, but why he showed up) I asked him to describe what he's up to, and his reply is unlike any we've heard before. We have heard people can "learn to cook" but his specificity of Indian ovens (ie. tandoor ovens) for specific dishes is accurate but not something Jennifer is aware of. His description of various salts (Moroccan!) is also accurate, having traveled around the world I know there's more than Morton Salt to be tasted. That was quite specific. But then Prince showed up - and as fans of our work know, he's been showing up since he crossed over, interviews are in "Hacking the Afterlife" and a number of times in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside." I'm aware that the vast majority of listeners would turn off the podcast around this moment, but they'd miss him bringing Ludwig and Vincent forward to talk about art and how those frequencies affect their continued work. We tend to think in human centric terms (how could we not?) about time, about fame, about all of those things that don't mean much on the flipside. The idea that Carl could come forward 80 some years after his passing, and carry on a conversation as if he was aware of everything that's been said since is mind bending. The idea that Ludwig might be considered 250 years old - but what she had to say about his digestive issues is accurate - and at one point mentions his "blindness" ... because she's not aware that he was going to come to class today, or not really up on his story. I literally did finish reading a biography about him this morning, and am in awe of his talent and output as an artist - but I wanted to dig into something that bothered me, his behavior towards his sister and law and her son is considered beyond the pale - while working on Missa Solemnis and the 7th, 8th and 9th symphonies. Like the sand in an oyster that turns into great pearls, it was the sacrifice his sister and law Johanna and nephew Frank put up with so that he could create the kind of art that he did. Vincent mentions a "savage animal" attacking his ear - that could be a metaphor for the "man in the mirror," "some bar fight gone wrong," or literally an animal attacking him - I don't know. It doesn't really matter, because as he put it "I won. I'm the most valued artist of us all." Funny way to put it - but accurate. This podcast may offend a few, may startle a few, but Jennifer and I show up unprepared, except for the body of work that's preceded when I turn on the camera and record our podcast. Enjoy.

Welcome, listeners, to our first episode of a new series: Behind the Portraits! In this series, we will be exploring portraits of composers - Who created them? What significance do they have? What was the composer composing around that time? - so many good questions, and so many good portraits. This first episode presents likely one of the most famous composer portraits ever of potentially the most famous composer ever, Ludwig van Beethoven. Don't worry - you'll recognize the portrait when you see it. The painter captured several aspects of Beethoven and, in a single portrait, immortalized an image of this remarkable composer.

Sveriges Radios romanpris gick i år till Hanna Nordenhök för hennes roman Caesaria en historisk roman som skrevs under och färgades av #metoo. Helene Alm har pratat med Hanna Nordenhök. KULTURGÄRNING NÄR 101 ÅR GAMMALT VERK GES UT PÅ SKIVA Tonsättaren Andreas Halléns körverk Missa Solemnis uruppfördes 1920 men först nu, dryga 100 år senare, har den spelats in för att ges ut på skiva, med Erik Westbergs vokalensemble. Samtal med P2:s Sara Norling om en kulturgärning. RECENSION: UNDERGÅNGEN AV MALTE PERSSON Malte Persson debuterade med romanen Livet på den här planeten 2002. Han är en litterär mångsysslare som översätter, skriver romaner, barnböcker, kulturartiklar men kanske är det som poet och översättare av poesi han är mest verksam. I dagarna utkommer hans femte diktsamling, Undergången, som Lars Hermansson har läst. ESSÄ: NIHILISTISK GANGSTERRAP SOM ARBETARLITTERATUR? Vilka erfarenheter räknas och krävs det en särskild moral för att inkluderas i genren arbetarlitteratur? Frågan om gränsdragningar inom arbetarlitteraturen är inte ny, utan tvärt om nästan lika gammal som arbetarlitteraturen själv. Litteraturvetaren Jimmy Vulovic reflekterar över en debatt som ständigt dyker upp i nya skepnader Programledare: Lisa Wall Producent: Eskil Krogh Larsson

Ep. 18b The Grand Finale! The Life of Ludwig van Beethoven pt. 10, "The Candle in the Wind" we see our great composer to the end of his life. The last years were not easy ones for Beethoven. He proved himself to be cruel and kind, hateful and loving, violent and sweet. But in the end, he was able to transcend the shortcomings of human existence, gain in his own way forgiveness of his many sins, and echo down the years a heroic tale of redemption. ---------------- For all things GCP Please rate, review, and subscribe on iTunes!

In Ep. 18a, Beethoven pt. 10 "The Candle in the Wind", first part of our massive grand finale(!) we start Beethoven on the last leg of his life. As a new father, and aging man with ill health, life would become more and more difficult for our great composer. His compositional life would prove more cumbersome as well, as massive new works that took a considerable amount of time to complete were now at the forefront of his mind: the "Hammerklavier" Sonata, the Missa Solemnis, the Diabelli Variations, and of course the Ninth Symphony in D minor. ---------------- For all things GCP Please rate, review, and subscribe on iTunes!
