fWotD Episode 2703: Igor Stravinsky Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 28 September 2024 is Igor Stravinsky.Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky (17 June [O. S. 5 June] 1882 – 6 April 1971) was a Russian composer and conductor with French citizenship (from 1934) and American citizenship (from 1945). He is widely considered one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century and a pivotal figure in modernist music.Born to a famous bass in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Stravinsky grew up taking piano and music theory lessons. While studying law at the University of Saint Petersburg, he met Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and studied music under him until the latter's death in 1908. Stravinsky met the impresario Sergei Diaghilev soon after, who commissioned the composer to write three ballets for the Ballets Russes's Paris seasons: The Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911), and The Rite of Spring (1913), the last of which caused a near-riot at the premiere due to its avant-garde nature and later changed the way composers understood rhythmic structure.Stravinsky's compositional career is often divided into three main periods: his Russian period (1913–1920), his neoclassical period (1920–1951), and his serial period (1954–1968). During his Russian period, Stravinsky was heavily influenced by Russian styles and folklore. Works such as Renard (1916) and Les noces (1923) drew upon Russian folk poetry, while compositions like L'Histoire du soldat (1918) integrated these folk elements with popular musical forms, including the tango, waltz, ragtime, and chorale. His neoclassical period exhibited themes and techniques from the classical period, like the use of the sonata form in his Octet (1923) and use of Greek mythological themes in works including Apollon musagète (1927), Oedipus rex (1927), and Persephone (1935). In his serial period, Stravinsky turned towards compositional techniques from the Second Viennese School like Arnold Schoenberg's twelve-tone technique. In Memoriam Dylan Thomas (1954) was the first of his compositions to be fully based on the technique, and Canticum Sacrum (1956) was his first to be based on a tone row. Stravinsky's last major work was the Requiem Canticles (1966), which was performed at his funeral.While many supporters were confused by Stravinsky's constant stylistic changes, later writers recognized his versatile language as important in the development of modernist music. Stravinsky's revolutionary ideas influenced composers as diverse as Aaron Copland, Philip Glass, Béla Bartók, and Pierre Boulez, who were all challenged to innovate music in areas beyond tonality, especially rhythm and form. In 1998, Time magazine listed Stravinsky as one of the 100 most influential people of the century. Stravinsky died of pulmonary edema on 6 April 1971 in New York City, having left six memoirs written with his friend and assistant Robert Craft, as well as an earlier autobiography and a series of lectures.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:51 UTC on Saturday, 28 September 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Igor Stravinsky on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Amy.

fWotD Episode 2441: The Firebird Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Wednesday, 10 January 2024 is The Firebird.The Firebird (French: L'Oiseau de feu; Russian: Жар-птица, romanized: Zhar-ptitsa) is a ballet and orchestral concert work by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. It was written for the 1910 Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes company; the original choreography was by Michel Fokine, who collaborated with Alexandre Benois and others on a scenario based on the Russian fairy tales of the Firebird and the blessing and curse it possesses for its owner. The Firebird was first performed at the Opéra de Paris on 25 June 1910 and was an immediate success, catapulting Stravinsky to international fame and leading to future Diaghilev-Stravinsky collaborations like Petrushka (1911) and The Rite of Spring (1913).The Firebird's mortal and supernatural elements are distinguished with a system of leitmotifs placed in the harmony dubbed "leit-harmony". Stravinsky made a point to use many unique effects in the orchestra, including with ponticello, col legno, flautando, glissando, and fluttertongue. Set in the evil immortal Koschei's castle, the ballet follows Prince Ivan, who battles Koschei with the help of the magical Firebird.Stravinsky later created three concert suites: in 1911, ending with the "Infernal Dance"; in 1919, which remains the most popular today; and in 1945, featuring significant reorchestration and structural changes. Other choreographers have staged the work with Fokine's original choreography or created entirely new productions using the music, some with different settings or themes from the original. Many recordings of the suites have been made, the first being released in 1928 using the 1911 suite. A film version of the popular Sadler's Wells Ballet production, which revived Fokine's original choreography, was created in 1959.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:15 UTC on Wednesday, 10 January 2024.For the full current version of the article, see The Firebird on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Justin Neural.

If you listened to my show last week about Stravinsky's ballet The Firebird, you know that Stravinsky's life was never the same after the premiere of the ballet in 1910. Sergei Diaghilev, the founder of the Ballets Russes and Stravinsky's greatest collaborator, said just before the premiere, “this man is on the eve of celebrity.” Diaghilev was absolutely right, as The Firebird made Stravinsky a Parisian household name practically overnight. Of course, immediately everyone wanted to know what was next. Stravinsky did too, and he was thinking that he needed to stretch himself even more, as even though the Firebird had caused a sensation, he still felt that it was too indebted to his teachers of the past like Nikolai Rimsky Korsakov and other Russian greats like Borodin or Mussorgsky. At first, Stravinsky dreamed of a pagan Rite, but quickly he changed course, wanting to write something that was NOT ballet music, and in fact would be a concerto for Piano and Orchestra. But instead of just a straight ahead abstract piece, Stravinsky had yet another story in mind. This time it was this: “In composing the music, I had in mind a distinct picture of a puppet, suddenly endowed with life, exasperating the patience of the orchestra with diabolical cascades of arpeggios. The orchestra in turn retaliates with menacing trumpet blasts. The outcome is a terrific noise which reaches its climax and ends in the sorrowful and querulous collapse of the poor puppet.” Diaghilev visited Stravinsky in Lausanne Switzerland expecting to hear more about the pagan rituals Stravinsky had been so excited about, but instead Stravinsky played him this strange piano concerto. But Digahliev, ever the visionary, saw the potential in this story and in this music for dance as well, and convinced Stravinsky to turn the piano concerto into a ballet, and Petrushka was born. Within a few months, Petrushka was written, performed, and was yet another sensation. Today, we'll talk all about the brilliant music that Stravinsky composed for the ballet, the integration of choreography and music, and the radical changes that this music heralded for the western music world.
In 1906, the impresario Sergei Diaghilev created a sensation in Paris with an exhibition of Russian Art. This was the first time a major showing of Russian art had appeared in Paris, and from this point forward, the city was obsessed with Russian art, literature, and music. Diaghilev, ever the promoter, then put together the Ballets Russes, the Russian Ballet, in 1909, a company based in Paris that performed ballets composed, choreographed, and danced, by Russians. Over the next 20 years, the Ballets Russes became one the most influential and successful ballet companies of the entire 20th century, and a young composer that Diaghilev plucked from obscurity named Igor Stravinsky had a lot to do with their success. The first season of the Ballet Russes relied on the big names of Russian music, like Borodin, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky Korsakov, but Diaghilev was always restlessly searching for something new. For many years, Diaghilev had wanted to bring not only new Russian art, but also new Russian music to the West, and now he had found the perfect combination - Diaghilev brought together the Russian artist and writer Alexandre Benoit and the Russian choreographer Michel Fokine to create a Russian nationalistic ballet based on Russian folk tales and mythology. He then took a risk, giving the commission for the music to Igor Stravinsky. The result? The Firebird, a ballet that provoked an ecstatic reaction, a score that would propel Stravinsky to worldwide popularity, 3 different orchestral suites played almost every year by orchestras all over the world, and a 19 year collaboration and friendship between Stravinsky and Diaghilev which only ended in Diaghilev's death and resulted in 8 original ballets, including The Rite of Spring and Petrushka. But, let's not get too ahead of ourselves. All of this had to start somewhere, so lets explore the Firebird, in all of its different versions and orchestrations, along with the folk tales and stories that go along with it. Join us!

DescriptionIgor Stravinsky was a huge proponent of Neoclassicism in music—much to the shock and dismay of some listeners and critics. Take a minute to get the scoop!Listen to: Igor Stravinsky - Octet for Wind Instruments [With score] ℅ YouTubeFun FactA pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov in his native St. Petersburg, Stravinsky had inherited the style of the Russian nationalist group, the so-called kuchka or Mighty Handful, and the ballets he wrote for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes before and during the First World War – The Firebird, Petrushka, The Rite of Spring, and Les Noces – are post-kuchka works, based on folk tales or rituals, using folk music or poetry, and largely ignoring the orthodox procedures of traditional classical music.About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer living in Toronto.

This week's quiz: On 26 March, I asked you a question about an article written by my colleague Laura Angela Bagnetto, which also was a feature on her excellent bi-monthly podcast Africa Calling – which I know you all listen to regularly. Laura Angela's story was about a marvelously dedicated teacher in Uganda, Irene Ocwee Trends, who during the pandemic lockdown took into her very own family home 30 children. The boys and girls – from 13 to 17 years old - were in the final year of her primary school, and Trends wanted them to be able to continue their schooling uninterrupted. And the hard work paid off … all her students passed Uganda's national exams and will go on to secondary school. Teachers. What heroes! Uganda ranks schools on how well students at any particular school do on their national exams. My question to you was: after Ocwee Trends' students took their national exams and passed with flying colors, where did Uganda rank the Hilder Nursery and Primary School in their list of schools? The answer is, as Laura Angela wrote: “Her final year students took their national exams, and Hilder Nursery and Primary school was named the 20th top school in the whole country after the results were announced.” The winners are: M. N. Sentu, who's a member of the RFI Amour Fan Club in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, and Ms. Fatematuj Zahra, who serves as the co-secretary of the Shetu RFI Listeners Club in Naogaon, Bangladesh.

Nesta edição do Clássicos CBN, Helder Trefzger aborda o papel do piano na orquestra. Mais conhecido por suas atuações à frente da orquestra, como solista, o piano foi ocupando pouco a pouco um lugar na composição da própria orquestra. "No começo, ainda timidamente, apareceu, esporadicamente, em obras de Berlioz, Glinka, Saint-Saëns e Debussy. Foi Stravinsky que, entre 1910 e 1911, na sua obra Petrushka, estabeleceu o piano na orquestra desempenho papel semelhante aos dos demais instrumentos", explica. Ouça!

Stravinsky's solo piano output may be modest in size, but it contains one of the absolute pinnacles of piano virtuosity, the Three Pieces from Petrushka. To call these pieces "arrangements" from the ballet score would be true, but misleading: they are brilliant recompositions from the ballet's material, stranger and more elusive, and with the added dimension of extreme virtuosity (he was never brave enough to give a public performance himself). Unlike many composers, Stravinsky always wrote his music at the piano, and the feel of chords-under-fingers, pushing against each other, overlapping and colliding goes a long way towards explaining the unique harmonic imagination that still has an international influence that stretches far beyond the confines of modernist classical music. Where the Romantics had turned the piano from a complex machine into a living, breathing musical being, Stravinsky wanted to unpick the illusion, and bring the mechanical aspects to the fore. He often sought to bypass the pianist's predilection for "expression", and even turned to pianolas for a time, which dispense with the need for a performer altogether. The clockwork character of his writing tends to dehumanise his source materials, whether these happen to be Russian folksongs, Baroque and Classical idioms or the latest jazz. Where does this leave a pianist who is prepared to meet this challenge?A lecture by Marina Frolova-Walker 26 FebruaryThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/stravinsky-pianoGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Petrushka, Igor Stavinksy's second ballet, is a tragic tale of a living puppet who is treated like a mere toy and brought to the point of madness. Ironically, such a sad tale brought Stravinsky a great deal of success, especially after the triumph that was his previous ballet The Firebird. However, there's more you do not know, hidden behind the curtain.

Two tales of treacherous maids of the water, this week we have “The Siren” by F. Antsey and “Russalka” by Maurice Baring. “The Siren” tells of a siren upon an island who uses her power upon men without heed, when one day a stranger comes unbidden to her shores and makes her question her ways and learn the meaning of love. In “Russalka” a young couple in love run afoul of the powers of the rusalka when on a whim, young Petrushka leaves his work on the river's edge and finds himself in the thrall of the woman of the water to his untimely fate.

Dans le Paris des années 1910 à 1913, le jeune compositeur a été la coqueluche de l’avant-garde musicale, le favori des adeptes de ballets et le chouchou des vétérans comme Debussy et Ravel. Il a fasciné avec L’oiseau de feu, enchanté avec Petrushka, mais aussi choqué avec Le sacre du printemps. Danick Trottier, professeur de musicologie, explique à Jacques Beauchamp comment Igor Stravinski a su tabler sur ses origines et combiner le folklore russe à la musique moderne.
A continuation of Episode 14, this new episode looks at Igor Stravinsky's second major ballet, Petrushka. Bridging the gap between his impressive and innovative first ballet, The Firebird, and the earth-shattering Rite of Spring, Petrushka is a fairy tale about two puppets at a Russian carnival vying for the love of a third puppet, the ballerina. Filled with quotations from Russian folk tunes and popular melodies from other countries, Petrushka has earned its place in the concert hall as one of the most sparkling celebrations of how orchestral color can tell a story. From the simplest folk tune to the most complex orchestral fluorish, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
If you asked any musicologist who are the top five most important composers of the 20th century, Igor Stravinsky will certainly be on that list. Stravinsky's three major ballets - The Firebird, Petrushka, and The Rite of Spring - remain landmarks of innovative soundscapes, introducing exciting new explorations of the basic elements of music. You will also find it fascinating how Stravinsky incorporates well-known folk melodies into his music. In this episode, we will examine The Firebird and discuss how this amazing piece by a composer still in his twenties reaches back, and looks forward, in its stylistic traits.

Today in the Side Hustle Pro guest chair, we welcome Petrushka Bazin Larsen, the Co-Founder of Sugar Hill Creamery in Harlem, NY. Sugar Hill Creamery is Harlem's only family-owned neighborhood ice cream shop. Petrushka’s Co-Founder is her husband, Nicholas, and prior to opening the shop, she worked as Vice President for Programs & Education at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum and Program Director at the Laundromat Project. Even with her successful career, she had dreams of being an entrepreneur that started when she was in the 3rd grade and those dreams remained with her as she got older. The opportunity for entrepreneurship eventually presented itself when her husband unexpectedly lost his job in the culinary industry. They began thinking about how to develop a business based on foods they love, and it was an experience at a pop-up ice cream shop while on a trip in Washington, DC, that sparked the idea to open an ice shop in Harlem. Petrushka and her husband went all in and found a location, secured a loan, got permits, and opened Sugar Hill Creamery in only 10 months!

Upon visiting Stravinsky in late 1910, expecting to find him immersed in composing the Rite of Spring, Serge Diaghilev, director of the Ballet Russe, was quite surprised to find him instead composing the ballet of an anthropomorphized puppet. The story recounts the rise and fall of mischievous Petrushka, a puppet brought to life by a magician as he courts the Ballerina and fights the Charlatan. The work was premiered one hundred years ago, with Nijinsky dancing the title role. Former SFS Music Director Pierre Monteux conducted the work’s world premiere.
On today's episode, Bruce Adolphe the resident lecturer of CMS talks about Stravinsky's Petrushka for Piano, Four Hands. Excerpts performed by Lucille Chueng, Alessio Bax, piano.

Tom Service investigates the link between music and colour ahead of Prom 45 and Stravinsky's colourful folk-ballet Petrushka. A piece of music can be 'dark' or 'bright' or we could be singing the 'Blues' - but what does that mean? Professor Jamie Ward - an expert in synaesthesia - is on hand to help. Tom delves into a world of musical colour from Messiaen and Copland, Scriabin and Ravel to David Bowie and Beyoncé to discover whether music can ever be colourful.

M1 Song Petrushka, Album ‘Tis The Season To Be Jelly, Album Artist Frank Zappa, Composer I. Stravinsky (1911), Year 1967, Released By - Bootleg album Petrushka is a ballet with music by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, composed in 1911. It was premièred in Paris and although the production was a success, music was reviewed as brittle, caustic and even grotesque. Two years later, in 1913, the Vienna Philharmonic initially refused to play the score, considering the score as “dirty music”. As for Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, the album ‘Tis the Season to Be Jelly was recorded at Konserthuset, Stockholm, Sweden on September 30, 1967. Pretty cool really, because The Stockholm Concert Hall (Konserthuset) is the main hall for orchestral music in Stockholm, Sweden, it is the home to the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. Bringing us back to the design of this hall for classical music. Was Zappa compelled or inspired by this great house to include SOMETHING classical? This song, Petrushka, was originally recorded by Zappa and distributed on a bootleg album. So now, going back to the 1913 sentiment about Petrushka being “dirty music”, interesting that the bootleg album cover features a caricature of Zappa’s foot and a smelly sock. Perhaps this truly is… “dirty music”? At the time of this recording, Zappa was 26 years old, so this is very early in his recording career. Only one year earlier, in 1966, Zappa released his debut album FREAK OUT with The Mothers of Invention. And only a week before this concert performance, Frank Zappa wed Gail Sloatman, with whom he was married and produced four children, right until his untimely death in 1993. Today we hear a short rendition of Petrushka, as arranged for rock band, by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and as performed in the Konserthuset in Stockholm, in 1967. M2 Song Cantata 147, (Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life), 10th mvt, Album Switched On Bach, Album Artist Wendy Carlos, Composer Johann S. Bach (1716), Year 1968, Released By Columbia Masterworks Records Cantata 147, is written by Johann Sebastian Bach. A cantata is a vocal composition with an instrumental accompaniment, typically in several movements, often with a choir.

Serge Diaghilev was turned down by four composers before turning to Igor Stravinsky to write the music for a new production by the Ballet Russe. Luckily, Stravinsky, eager to try his hand at a ballet, had already been working on the music for a month, and their artistic relationship went on to produce Petrushka and The Rite of Spring.
Upon visiting Stravinsky in late 1910, expecting to find him immersed in composing the Rite of Spring, Serge Diaghilev, director of the Ballet Russe, was quite surprised to find him instead composing the ballet of an anthropomorphized puppet. The story recounts the rise and fall of mischievous Petrushka, a puppet brought to life by a magician as he courts the Ballerina and fights the Charlatan. The work was premiered one hundred years ago, with Nijinsky dancing the title role. Former SFS Music Director Pierre Monteux conducted the work’s world premiere.

Markus Zohner incontra Alessandro Marchetti negli studi di PETRUSHKA a Verbania / Italia. Alessandro Marchetti: attore, regista, maestro della Commedia dell'Arte, pittore, scultore. Figlio d'arte. "Chi sono? Per me o per gli altri? Visto che mi state per ascoltare, forse vi interessa sapere chi sono come uomo pubblico. Sono un attore, un regista, uno scenografo, un pittore, uno scultore. In breve sono un uomo di teatro che allarga i suoi orizzonti nell'arte. Il virus del teatro mi è stato trasmesso dai miei avi. Ho tentato di togliermelo di dosso quand'ero più giovane ma non ce l'ho fatta. Sono un uomo teatro-positivo. Nel privato sono un uomo che ogni giorno si interroga. L'unica certezza che mi rimane è di non avere nessuna certezza. Ogni giorno mi rimetto in gioco e forse è tutto qui il significato dell'esistenza." --- Alessandro Marchetti, figlio d’arte da tre generazioni, si forma dapprima alla scuola paterna poi a quella del grande attore goldoniano Cesco Baseggio della cui lezione fa tesoro. Negli anni ’60 affianca all’attività d’attore, significative esperienze nel campo dell’arte pittorica. Nel 1968, insieme con l’attrice Luisella Sala dà vita a Milano alla Compagnia TEATRO 7. Nel 1970 riapre con successo il glorioso Teatro Filodrammatici di Milano ma la profonda esigenza di confrontarsi con pubblici e teatri diversi lo fa tornare alla Compagnia TEATRO 7, con la quale per vent’anni effettua numerose tournèe in Italia e all’estero rappresentando autori antichi e moderni. I successi più vasti li raccoglie con “Le farse della Commedia dell’Arte” che recupera da canovacci tramandati oralmente da vecchie famiglie d’arte. Ne cura la regia, la scenografia e recita nella maschera di Arlecchino. Dalla rivalutazione della Commedia dell’Arte quale metodologia di palcoscenico e chiave per l’invenzione di una nuova drammaturgia elabora un personale metodo di lavoro che diffonde attraverso numerosi stages. Dal 1988 collabora quale regista con troupes e teatri europei. Sue regie sono state viste oltre che in Europa nelle Americhe, in Australia, in Giappone, Africa, Medio Oriente, Russia. Si presenta nel suo recital “La maschera e il volto” – viaggio intorno alla Commedia dell’Arte. In qualità di conferenziere è ospite degli Istituti Italiani di Cultura. Ha pubblicato per Klett & Balmer il libro “Arlecchino & Co” scritto in collaborazione con M. Kunz. Si occupa della direzione artistica di un Festival della Commedia dell’Arte in musica sul lago Maggiore. Nel suo piccolo Teatro Studio in Verbania tiene stages per attori e cantanti lirici. --- I tre Alessandro E’ abbastanza insolito che tre generazioni d’attori abbiano lo stesso nome: Alessandro. Il nonno Alessandro fu, oltre che attore, direttore artistico di importanti Compagnie teatrali del suo tempo fra cui la Reale Sarda che annoverava fra attori, attrici e personale tecnico un organico di circa cinquanta persone. Una tournée fatta in Sud America con la “Compagnia Alessandro Marchetti” durò due anni. Ebbe in gioventù una movimentata vita sentimentale finché non più giovanissimo, si sposò in seconde nozze, con una giovane contessina francese da cui nacque il secondo Alessandro. Scrisse anche un volumetto molto noto e discusso: “I tarli dell’arte drammatica”. Una coincidenza: recitò diverse volte nel teatro Filodrammatici di Milano che verrà riaperto - dopo la distruzione dalla guerra - dal nipote negli anni 70. In vecchiaia lasciò il teatro per il giornalismo. Papà Alessandro, ribelle agli insegnamenti paterni, ebbe vita teatrale più avventurosa, passando da compagnie di prima grandezza a compagnie minori, inseguendo ideali socialisti e belle attrici fra le quali la goriziana Mercede Schein madre dell’ultimo Alessandro, che sposò quando il bimbo aveva già cinque anni. Fu attore schivo e solitario ma di grande insegnamento per il giovane Alessandro. L’ultimo Alessandro che non ha avuto la chance di conoscere il celebre nonno, non ha figli. Finisce così la dinastia Alessandro Marchetti. Ma ha tanti allievi sparsi qua e là per il mondo che lo stimano e lo amano e ai quali lascia in eredità l’amore per il teatro.
Ecco, ci siamo con la ottava puntata di THE SENSE OF LIFE! Nel contesto del suo progetto culturale triennale C.U.T.! la Markus Zohner Arts Company con il suo progetto radiofonico RADIO PETRUSKA – The Sense of Life, porta un incontro fra Markus Zohner, uomo di teatro, e Alan Alpenfelt. In occasione della prima assoluta dello spettacolo APOCALYPSE 2072 | end.begin, i due parlano sulla fine del mondo, sui significati della fine per quello che la precede. Affrontano il tema dell'APOCALYPSE in tutte le sue sfaccettature: fine della nostra civilizzazione - significato umano - mondo post apocalittico - idea dell'apocalisse - domande sull'umanità, sul suo esito, sulla poesia del crollo. Il senso di tutto, se tutto avrà una fine. Le domande vitali: inizio, fine, morte, nascita, e quello che abbiamo da fare. Markus Zohner e Alan Alpenfelt: IL SENSO DELLA VITA APOCALYPSE 2072 | end.begin Informazioni dettagliate sulla produzione, con testi, video e fotografie: http://zohner.com/release/c-u-t-apocalypse-2072-end-begin/ Niente sarà come è stato. Il petrolio che spinge la tua macchina che scalda la tua casa che fa crescere la tua verdura che ti porta il pesce dal mare alla montagna che produce i tuoi farmaci e i tuoi vestiti che colora lacca il mondo che lo lubrifica lo stampa e gli aggiunge il gusto di vaniglia …. si sta estinguendo per sempre. E tu con lui. Chi sono quelli che ti raccontano la favola delle risorse inesauribili, della salvezza nella crescita economica e che ci vuole l‘auto più grande, il leasing e un nuovo telefonino ogni due anni? Ancora solo settantacinque anni e la tua attuale epoca sarà storia passata, nessun petrolio, nessuna risorsa energetica fossile, nessun riscaldamento, nessun gusto di vaniglia. E se non farai in tempo a vedere questo cambiamento, potrà ritenerti fortunato. Perché sarà triste. Molto triste. I tuoi figli dovranno imparare a lottare per la loro acqua e non sapranno come cucinarsi le patate che sono riusciti a far crescere in un orto nascosto. Il gas? Quale gas? D’inverno i tuoi figli avranno freddo, un freddo cane, e dovranno difendere l’acqua, il terreno e quel poco che resta loro, da chi ha sete, molta più sete di loro, da chi ha fame e da chi ha bisogno di un tetto per la notte. Ti illudi davvero che questo piccolo paradiso nel quale viviamo sarà nostro per sempre? Ci saranno dieci miliardi di altri uomini, donne e bambini, di tutti i colori e da tutte le parti del mondo, che si sposteranno perché avranno bisogno di vivere. Di sopravvivere. Anche loro. E il piccolo paradiso sarà perduto. Una memoria del futuro. L’inizio di una nuova era, nella quale nulla sarà come noi lo immaginiamo, come noi speriamo che sia. Sarà un nuovo inizio, si. Ogni inizio è pieno di speranze. Ma è anche pieno di nostalgia. Nostalgia per il mondo perso. Dimentica la macchina. Vieni a teatro. APOCALYPSE 2072 | end.begin. Ricordando l’era più grandiosa di tutti i tempi, l’era che sta per finire: la nostra. Uno spettacolo tragicomico, veloce e lento, poetico, radicale e sincero, brutale e dolce. Uno spettacolo musicale, con musica spettacolare. Avrà una fine. Avrà un inizio. Il teatro sarà riscaldato. THE SENSE OF LIFE è un progetto podcast di Radio Petruska. Il programma C.U.T.! The Sense of Life è un dialogo a cui tutti prendono parte. Gli interrogativi sono rivolti all’ospite, ma anche al suo interlocutore e a tutti gli ascoltatori. Tutto viene messo in gioco e si correre il rischio di non avere delle risposte. Il mistero della vita è come una lesione, che non può essere anestetizzata solamente per non percepirne il dolore; non porsi domande sul senso della vita significa rinunciare alla possibilità di comprenderla pienamente. È necessario osare, prendersi cura di questa ferita anche se può far male. Attraverso C.U.T.! The Sense of Life la ferita si trasforma in una feritoia, in un minuscolo varco che consente di affacciarsi sul proprio mondo interiore così da scrutare e indagare la parte più misteriosa e segreta di se stessi. C.U.T.! The Sense of Life è un Audio Art Project della Markus Zohner Arts Company e fa parte del progetto triennale culturale C.U.T.!. RADIO PETRUSKA - LA NUOVA VOCE DALLA SVIZZERA ITALIANA La Markus Zohner Arts Company lancia un nuovo concetto di radio, in forma di podcast, scaricabili dal web, che si propone di esplorare i grandi temi dell’esistenza umana, di ricercare ragionamenti, riflessioni e una verità personale. RADIO PETRUSKA mette in discussione, ed è alla ricerca di ragionamenti, di riflessioni, di una verità personale, artistica e soprattutto umana in grado di arrivare al centro di questioni vitali per l’esistenza.

From 1910-1913, Stravinsky blazed a trail with his stunning ballet scores The Firebird, Petrushka and The Rite of Spring. Written for Diaghilev's legendary Ballet Russes, these ballets were groundbreaking events not only for their innovative, iconoclastic music but also for the bold set designs and revolutionary choreography. Diaghilev had assembled some of the finest creative artists of the day around him and the impact of these and subsequent productions is with us today. The pre-concert talk explores their relationship and examine what makes Stravinsky's music so special.Igor Stravinsky - Suite - L'Histoire du Soldat Marche du Soldat Musique de la Première Scène (Petits airs au bord du ruisseau) Musique de la Deuxième Scène (Pastorale) Marche Royale Petit Concert Trois Danses (Tango-Vals-Ragtime) Danse du Diable Grand Chorale Marche Triomphale du DiablePerformers: Thomas Kemp (Conductor) Thomas Norris (Violin) Graham Lee (Trombone) Alice Lee (Bassoon) Bruce Nockles (Cornet) Duncan Prescott (Clarinet) Alex Neal (Percussion) Stacey Watton (Double Bass)This event is a part of the series Creative Inspirations.
Gunslinger Girl Volume 6 by Yu Aida. Translated by Javier Lopez. Originally published by Media Works in Japan. Published in US by ADV Manga, $9.99, Rated 16+. The Social Welfare Agency believes that it has learned from its past mistakes and is ready to begin production of a second generation of cyborg assassins. There will be an initial run of 10 girls with design improvements. While the physical abilities of the cyborgs will be less than that of the first, the new "conditioning" process will double their lifespan and make them easier to maintain. If this new system works, the SWA has even started thinking about a way to make money by selling its cyborg girls commercially. The first candidate is Elizabeta Baranovskaya, a ballet dancer who is suffering from bone cancer in one of her legs. It's gotten so bad that the doctors say the only way to save her life is to amputate it. But nobody realizes that Elizabeta's dream of being a great ballerina is stronger than her will to live. If she loses her leg, in her eyes at least, her life is over. End of story. Meanwhile, Giuseppe and Jean take their fratello, Henrietta and Rico, on a rare vacation where they hope to get away from their job. Unfortunately, it ends up dragging up old memories as Jean is reminded of his dead parents, a dead sister, and a fiance killed by Padania. He's not really a happy fellow. Gunslinger Girl really stands out in the writing and characterization departments. That's not to say that Aida can't handle the action sequences as well. In fact, while there is only one short battle in this volume, it is handled exquisitely and cinematically. The way the panels are laid out is something he couldn't do in earlier volumes. It's really cool to see someone mature not just artistically but as a writer too. The new girl, Petrushka, joins a cast that the reader was already very sympathetic to, but in a surprise move, her backstory is front and center. In the past, Aida has glanced over the lives of the girls before they became part of the SWA. It was merely a footnote, so it was a clever twist for Aida to use the newest member to begin some character exploration. Alessandro, Petrushka's handler, comes across as a bit of a jerk, but maybe he's insensitive simply because of the nature of his job. It's pretty creepy that the handler can actually tell the doctors of the SWA exactly what they want their girl to look like. I mean, the hubris of these guys to play God like they do. Unfortunately, if you like this series, it is currently in publishing limbo. This volume was published in December 2007 and there's been no word when ADV will put out the next book. After losing most of their newer anime titles, I'm beginning to wonder if ADV will even be in business this time next year. My Grade A-
Music 271: 4/18/07I: Igor Stravinsky’s contributions to the formation of 20th-century art music: A: Second Stage Nationalist (to the beginning of WWI)1. The influence of Debussy on his ballet scores:• Collaborated with other Russian artist for a series of ballets made for Paris• Oiseau de feu (Firebird) - 1910• Petrushka - 1911• Le sacred u printemps (The Rite of Spring) - 1913• “The Nightingale” opera displays many Debussy influences from Nuages2. The Rite of Spring: and example of “Primitive Nationalism”:• Influenced by Russian composers (including Rimsky-Korsakov, his mentor)• Prompted a riot on its opening night• Based on Stravinsky’s dream about pre-Christian Russian community (Neolithic times). Virgin sacrifice brings about springtime• Represented a turning point for Stravinsky• Marked the ending of Post-Romanticism• 3 major political empires collapsed: Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire, Russian Empire (October Revolution)• Stravinsky fled to Paris following the Russian RevolutionB: Neo-Classicism: a Post WWI reaction to Post-Romanticism:• Defined as a return to absolute music coupled with a rejection of the attitude that music can be descriptive• 1923 - Stravinsky’s Octet for Winds (his first Neo-Classical piece)• Models were deliberately taken from 18th-century style• Elimination or subordination of the strings from the music (Winds and Brass become the standard in Neo-Classicism)• Open texture (Not a think texture, less parts then before)II: American Neo-Classicism: A: The influence of Nadia Boulanger:• French pedagogue of composition• Taught students how to find their own musical style• Demanded that students have knowledge of Western Art Music• Argued for Neo-Classicism in her teachings B: Aaron Copland’s piano variations: 1930•
