“We ended up forming a new string orchestra at the high school, and I led every rehearsal and conducted every concert. I remember the very first day. I looked at my teacher and said, ‘how do you start them? Do I breathe?' I tried something, and it didn't work. Then I did the sniff, and everyone came in. Now I teach conducting, and what I want to give the students is a sandbox where they can make mistakes and figure out what works for them.”Conductor Albert Pinsonneault is the Associate Director of Choral Studies at the University of Wisconsin, where he teaches choir, conducting, and the graduate choral literature seminar. He is also founder and artistic director of the Madison Choral Project, a 24-voice professional chamber choir based in Madison, Wisconsin.

Pierre-Michel MengerCollège de FranceAnnée 2023-2024Sociologie du travail créateurColloque - Boulez : l'invention au pouvoir ? Les années 1975-1995 - Spirals in the Harmonic and Formal Structure of RéponsSession 3 : Spirales, dérives, fragments : le style compositionnel des années 1980Intervenant :Catherine LosadaProfessor of Music Theory, University of CincinnattiColloque organisé pour le centenaire de la naissance de Pierre Boulez par le Pr Pierre-Michel Menger, chaire Sociologie du travail créateur, et Nicolas Donin, professeur de musicologie à l'université de Genève.Avec le soutien de la Fondation du Collège de France et de son grand mécène LVMH.RésuméA landmark work, Pierre Boulez's Répons (1980-82) was written to showcase the technological potential of IRCAM, the Parisian Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music that Boulez founded in 1977. This piece, like many others, was considered a work-in-progress at the time of the composer's death in 2016. Existing associated scholarship for the most part builds on Boulez's commentary, which encompasses the five chords that generate the first two sections of the work and the concept of a spiral. On the aesthetic level, the spiral clearly illustrates the idea of a constantly evolving, unfinished work (DiPietro 2000), but Boulez's explanation of how it applies to the musical materials is somewhat vague "Répons is a set of variations in which the material is arranged is such a way that it revolves around itself" (Derrien 1988). In this paper, I will show how the model of a spiral is essential to the conception of this piece in two additional ways, one at a technical, pitch generation level, the other a larger formal level. In this way, I will elucidate interesting aspects of the harmonic structure of the piece, its overall form, and their relationship to Boulez's broader aesthetic outlook.The third version of Répons (1984) consists of an introduction, eight sections and a coda. An early version of the piece (1981) ended after the fourth section. My paper will comment on the evolving quality of Boulez's works by examining the relationship between section four and the immediately ensuing section—added in the following version (1982) (Jameux, 1989). The material for both sections is based on a chord that presents the SACHER hexagram in a precise registral disposition. Common to many of Boulez's later works, the use of this hexagram constitutes an homage to Boulez's benefactor, Paul Sacher. Although several sources note the importance of the hexagram for this piece, none explain its precise function. Boulez uses this chord as a basis for a fascinating technique (Example 1) that is related to, but distinct from techniques he used previously in his career, a spiral-like adaptation of a rotational array. The spiraling process creates precise registral invariances illustrated by the fixed boundary pitches and the arrows shown on the sketch. I will show how the array generates the instrumental material (discussed in Williams 1994, Tissier 2011) as well as the superimposed recorded material (the "wallpaper") for section four. Significantly, the material for the fifth section is based on a retrograde reworking of this material. This is the essence behind the formal concept of a spiral: a new, intensified cycling through materials that are related at a deep level. Finally, I will show how Boulez's application of this array creates a background pitch organization with a flexibility that successfully addresses the main challenge he sought to resolve in this piece: that of maintaining the vitality of live performance in a work that includes recorded materials (Boulez 1985). This was one of the most striking and influential aspects of this work.RéférencesBoulez, Pierre. 1985. "Pierre Boulez: Über Répons: ein Interview mit Josef Häusler." InTeilton.

Is studying music theory really useful? Yep. You heard right. I really said that, and I'm a total theory nerd.  I'm not going to leave you in suspense. Of course, knowing music theory is useful and helpful and part of being a good musician. But only - and this is a big “only” - if you know how it's useful. Did you ever take a class in school and the whole time you were sitting in class you were thinking, “I'm never going to use this stuff”? Of course, you did. I remember sitting in my calculus class in high school - which, incidentally, I really enjoyed - knowing that I was going to music school and very unlikely to ever use any of this kind of higher mathematics again. Maybe your useless class was a math course, or it could have been just about any other subject. Sometimes we discovered later that we were wrong; for instance, a little understanding of chemistry is helpful if you're trying to work out ingredient substitutions in a recipe. At the time, though, the information falls into the category of “good to know, but I'll never need it.” I taught classes like that when I was teaching at Curtis. The theory and ear training classes I taught were certainly full of information that would be necessary for a professional musician, but that didn't mean that any of it seemed relevant to students who just wanted to practice. You may sympathize with that feeling, if you've taken theory courses with the idea that these courses would help your harp playing significantly. Please understand - I know with every fiber of my being that music theory makes you a better musician and can absolutely be of benefit to your playing. But unfortunately, I have found that most of the time, harpists take theory courses and are left wondering what use they can make of all this hard-won knowledge. These courses don't come with a hands-on way to apply this knowledge at the harp, a way to make it really useful. That's what I will share with you today, some common sense ways to make theory practical.

Perversions of the Market: Sadism, Masochism, and the Culture of Capitalism (SUNY Press, 2024) argues that capitalism fosters sadism and masochism--not as individual psychological proclivities but as widespread institutionalized patterns of behavior. The book is divided into two parts: one historical and the other theoretical. In the first, Eugene W. Holland shows how, as capital becomes global in scale and drives production and consumption farther and farther apart, it perverts otherwise free markets, transforming sadism and masochism into borderline conditions and various supremacisms. The second part then turns to Deleuze and Guattari's 'schizoanalysis,' explaining how it helpfully embeds Freud's analysis of the family and Lacan's analysis of language within an analysis of the capitalist market and its psycho-dynamics. Drawing on literature and film throughout to illuminate the discontents of modern culture, Holland maintains that the sadistic relations of production and masochistic relations of consumption must be eliminated to prevent capitalism from destroying life as we know it.

For generations most of the canonical works that detail the lives of poor people have been created by rich or middle-class writers like Charles Dickens, John Steinbeck, or James Agee. This has resulted in overwhelming depictions of poor people as living abject, violent lives in filthy and degrading conditions.  In Poor Things: How Those with Money Depict Those Without It (Duke UP, 2024), Lennard J. Davis labels this genre ‘poornography”: distorted narratives of poverty written by and for the middle and upper classes. Davis shows how poornography creates harmful and dangerous stereotypes that build barriers to social justice and change. To remedy this, Davis argues, poor people should write realistic depictions of themselves, but because of representational inequality they cannot. Given the obstacles to the poor accessing the means of publication, Davis suggests that the work should, at least for now, be done by “transclass” writers who were once poor and who can accurately represent poverty without relying on stereotypes and clichés. Only then can the lived experience of poverty be more fully realized. The Endo/Exo Writers Project.

Someone asks when should you retire an instrument, and Mike gives some examples of musicians "Retiring" their instruments out of sentimentality. Aldrine and Aaron show their own battle worn ukuleles. The guys offer some playing advice and general tips for how to self diagnose your own playing roadblocks. The crew discuss the benefits of learning to play instruments in the modern age, and why a guitar player disguised as a ukulele teacher is a red flag. At the end of the podcast, Aldrine derails the show with a "Music Theory" question to intentionally rile up Theorist.
