Hillary Simms is a virtuosic Canadian trombone player with the esteemed American Brass Quintet and is on faculty at the Julliard School. Hillary's warmth and love of music comes through in this candid interview, from her childhood in Newfoundland to playing on the world's biggest stages, and also the unusual situation she found herself in when her engagement to her husband became a viral sensation in China. As the first woman to join the Amercian Brass Quintet since 1960, Hillary spoke to me about gender disparity in the brass world and some of her strong female role models. Hillary shares wonderful insights for all of us, whether you pursue music as a career or follow a different path, of the need to have self-compassion and have an awareness of the big picture of your life. Hillary has performed as a soloist a couple of times with my orchestra, Canada's National Arts Centre Orchestra, and you'll hear us talk about the arc of her career so far as a chamber musician, soloist, educator and busy freelancer. We decided to delay the release of this episode slightly in order to include a wonderful recent recording of the Amercian Brass Quintet, a movement from David Biedenbender's wonderful work Sacred Geometry. This is the first recording of the group with Hillary performing, and you'll find more information and links below.

Songs My Mother Taught Me, 9-6-2020, Joel Littlepage by Grace Meridian Hill
Pastor Joel Littlepage shares from Proverbs 31 in his sermon titled "Songs My Mother Taught Me."
Pour cette toute première conversation, c’est la pianiste franco-américaine Susan Manoff qui nous a chaleureusement reçues chez elle. Entre quelques arpèges sur le clavier, elles nous a parlé des premières notes de son enfance, d’écriture, d’incarnation et aussi du silence. Elle commence par nous raconter son éveil au piano, au toucher, transmis par sa mère puis ses professeurs via la curiosité et le jeu, et leurs attentions bienveillantes qui la placent au centre de son monde et la guident dans sa créativité via l’écoute de ses émotions. A 08:45′ elle parle du silence comme émotion fondatrice, et de l’ouverture de la messe en Si de Bach. « Le silence est-ce que c’est rien ou est-ce que c’est tout? » Puis à partir de 12:40′ on a parlé de sophrologie et de l’importance du travail mental et de l’association aux gestes pour la mémorisation, l’appropriation d’un morceau. Pour elle la vocalité, le souffle et le mouvement sont indissociables de sa pratique au piano. Elle évoque la poétesse Mary Oliver qui a dit « j’ai été sauvée par la beauté du monde », et le compte amérindien « Good wolf bad wolf » – La créativité passe aussi par des sentiments durs, « parfois on se replie, on rampe, on crache dans l’ombre de nous même » – Bon loup ou mauvais loup, celui qui gagne c’est celui qu’on nourrit! A 22:00′ on a ensuite parlé plus de son lien au autres, de la rencontre, l’adéquation, l’équilibre à trouver entre le musicien et le chanteur, de la continuité du travail et de la scène. Elle évoque cette part d’égo qu’il faut assumer. A 28:00′ Elle nous parle de son rituel d’écriture quotidien – 3 pages à la main au réveil – qu’elle a initié après avoir lu le livre de Julia Cameron, « The artist’s way ». « L’imagination est juste là, est-ce qu’on a le courage de l’appliquer à nous-même? » Observer qui elle est, ses croyances, dépasser ses frustrations et le regard des autres, coucher ses sensations sur le papier… Prendre rendez-vous avec soi-même tous les matins. A 32:00′ On a parlé de poésie et d’incarnation d’un morceau. Quelle main on met dans la matière? Susan mime et danse ses pièces, dessine dans ses partitions… utilise les symboles et le mouvement pour intégrer la musique, l’ancrer dans sa mémoire. A 34:30' Elle nous a raconté 2 moments de magie sur scène. Le premier, celui d’un concert ou elle a senti ce qu’on pourrait appeler un « flow » : Ces morceaux de Bach qu’elle a étudiés et joués : « je les ai sués, je les ai vécus je les ai aimés, je me suis roulé dans leur boue, je les ai mis en plein soleil, je les ai pris dans la nuit » jusqu’à sentir ce moment extraordinaire « d’avant la peur », « au dessus de moi », une osmose organique pas ressentie depuis l’enfance… Le second c’est un concert donné au lendemain des attentats du Bataclan au Théâtre des Champs Elysées, « une rencontre avec qui je suis », l’émotion du silence et d’une bougie posée avant l’infinie joie d’une sonate de Mozart pour violon et piano. A 41:20, Susan imagine spontanément pour nous un paysage qu’elle va fouler de ses pieds A 46:40 on a parlé de son rôle au Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, de sa façon d’inviter les étudiants préparer un rôle à travailler un répertoire comme une matière, d'« écouter avec les yeux » et « voir avec les oreilles », de chanter les sons de la musique, ou encore « tomber amoureux d’une langue qui n’est pas la nôtre ». Susan nous a dit « La créativité, la curiosité et l’amour des autres sont au centre de ma vie », et c’est une évidence pour ceux qui la connaissent. L’humour, pour elle, est primordial, et la joie qu’elle a de jouer, son sourire quand elle est au piano la rendent particulièrement attachante! Morceaux diffusés : JS Bach, Messe in h-moll, BWV 232, Kirie Eleison, Peter Schreier "The Desire For Hermitage" et "Songs My Mother Taught Me", issus de « Long Time Ago » le dernier album de Susan Manoff en duo avec la mezzo soprano Adèle Charvet Ecriture, production & réalisation : Marylène Ricci et Hélène Marois Montage : Titouan Dumesnil Générique : « Liberate », Immersive Music

A CD based on this event has been released on First Night Records. Returning to help with this episode are film critics James Colt Harrison and Diana Saenger. Diana is the founder of Classic Movie Guide, and James has written a history of MGM the studio where Judy Garland made her wonderful movies. An avid Garland fan, James exclaims, "Judy Garland? She's the all-time favorite of millions of fans, even today!"
The Golden Spinning Wheel is a story from the country formerly known as Bohemia, and then Czechoslovakia, and now The Czech Republic. The story is the subject of a picture book by Lisl Weil in which musical notes are printed across the page along with illustrations of the story. The musical notes are from a piece of music inspired by the story, composed by Czech composer Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904), who was fascinated by the folklore and folk music of his country, and infused much of his music with the flavor of both. He did the same for American folk music after spending 3 years here, and his masterpiece, the symphony called "From the New World", has been featured in Hollywood westerns. (The snippet of his music we use during the spinning wheel scene is from "Songs My Mother Taught Me".) We come to you from Heber Springs, AR, after making our annual trek across the country to begin our summer tour – which commenced this time in Fayetteville, AR. We had time along the way to see some interesting sights, including the Omaha Zoo, the Buffalo National River in Arkansas and Bluff Dwellers Cavern in Missouri. Are we having fun yet? Czech! Happy Listening,Dennis (Narrator, King, Dwarf, Guard) and Kimberly (Narrator, Dornischka, Stepmother, Stepsister)
Works for voice and piano performed by Jennifer Johnson Cano, mezzo-soprano, and Christopher Cano, pianist and string quintet performed by Borromeo String Quartet with Nathaniel Martin, bass.Dvořák: Gypsy Songs, Op. 55Dvořák: String Quintet No. 2 in G Major, Op. 77For our 185th podcast program, we’ll hear from Antonin Dvořák, focusing on two of his chamber works.We begin with Dvořák’s Gypsy Songs, opus 55. The cycle of seven songs is based on Czech poetry by Adolf Heyduk about the lives of Slovakian gypsies. But Dvořák chose to premiere and publish the songs in a German translation of the original text. The cycle was fairly successful; in particular, the song at the heart of the cycle—the fourth of seven—has become one of his best-known, usually translated in English as “Songs My Mother Taught Me.” Throughout, the songs are both lyrical and spirited, combining the flavor of gypsy music with the sophistication of Western art song.After the songs, we’ll turn to Dvořák’s second string quintet, opus 77. Written in 1874, the string quintet is among Dvořák’s earliest mature works. At the time of its composition, he had been working in relative anonymity in Prague. The music itself, though, reveals a composer already in possession of a unique and self-assured voice, with a gift for melody and a wonderful knack for writing spirited, dance-infused passages.
