MV3, with Gordon Rumson and Keith Bramich Though I think it fantastic music, I don't feel a strong urge to hear the Symphonies of Beethoven again. Lots of other great music including: Symphony No 9, 'Moonlight' Sonata, Symphony No 3 'Eroica' and the 'Archduke' Piano Trio Op 97 performed by an interesting array of musicians. Since then I've listened to lots of music and have, through mere time and repetition, tired of the standard fare. www.mvdaily.com /articles/2001/09/standard.htm   (1534 words)

Amazon.com: Books: Underneath a Harlem Moon: The Harlem to Paris Years of Adelaide Hall (Bayou Jazz Lives S.) Hall was born in Brooklyn in 1901 and became a major figure in the music scene of the Harlem Renaissance, along with other glittering stars of the period--Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Florence Mills, Ethel Waters, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Lena Horne, Bricktop, and Josephine Baker. While I understand that Williams was trying to set a backdrop for Adelaide's story, I felt as though too much time was spent on the histories of her surroundings and her contemporaries, such as Al Capone, Josephine Baker, and even the Duke himself. Born on "the rough side of Brooklyn" and raised in Harlem, Adelaide Hall became one of the most famous black Broadway and cabaret stars, rivaling the legacies of Florence Mills, Ethel Waters, and the like. www.bookreviewdatabase.com /book/0826465366/Underneath%20a%20Harlem%20Moon:%20the%20Harlem%20To%20Paris%20Years%20of%20Adelaide%20Hall/Iain%20C%20Williams/1   (1305 words)

lvbma11.txt And his art rewarded his devotion richly; she made his sorrowful life worth living with gifts of purest joy: "To Beethoven music was not only a manifestation of the beautiful, an art, it was akin to religion. Beethoven often gave expression to the belief that words were a less capable medium of proclamation for feelings than music. Beethoven called the composition of fugues "the art of making musical skeletons.") 38. www.gutenberg.org /dirs/etext02/lvbma11.txt   (1305 words)

Sleeve Notes - Of ladies and love ... We seldom think of vocal music as one of Beethoven’s special provinces, particularly in the light of his supernal achievements in the symphony, sonata and string quartet. These objects of adoration and the music they inspired prompt two observations: first, that the abstraction of the nameless beloved literally has no meaning except as a reflection of some specific reality and name; second, that the universality of art comprises a multitude of individual experiences. Beethoven sketched Adelaide in 1795 and completed it the following year; it reached print without opus number in 1797, along with such scores as his cello sonatas Op 5, and his piano sonata Op 7, and in 1803 a publisher reissued it as the composer’s Op 46. www.hyperion-records.co.uk /notes/67315.html   (1305 words)

Sophisticated Lady: A Celebration of Adelaide Hall, Stephen Bourne Adelaide Hall is musical history, a central figure in the great resurgence of African-American music that began in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. Adelaide performed everywhere: in Broadway and West End musicals, the Cotton Club, Chicago, Paris, the London Palladium and music halls from Land's End to John O'Groats. Her style was always that of a musical-comedy star, rather than the night club chanteuse, and she would light up as soon as she stepped onto the stage. www.jazzscript.co.uk /books/hallbourne.htm   (1305 words)

Jazz News: Adelaide Hall biography "Underneath a Harlem Moon" Set For September Release Too often Adelaide Hall has been overlooked in histories of jazz and popular music. While Hall’s achievements in the U.S. seem to have been largely forgotten or overlooked by music historians, in Britain during the 40s and 50s she was one of the country's highest-earning stars. 2001 marked the centenary of Adelaide Hall's birth in Brooklyn, N.Y. and the 75th anniversary of her classic hit recordings of “Creole Love Call” and “The Blues I Love To Sing”, which she recorded with Duke Ellington in 1927. www.allaboutjazz.com /php/news.php?id=1711   (1305 words)

Liszt Piano Music, Vol 44 - Early Beethoven Transcriptions First to allay fears of any duplication of material with Leslie Howard's previous release of Liszt's transcriptions of the Beethoven symphonies ( CDA66671/5): these early transcriptions were made more than twenty years before their revisions, and Liszt's approach was originally even more demanding upon the performer. A comparison of the versions is fascinating and revealing, both for our knowledge of Liszt and his art and for the many insights into Beethoven himself which Liszt offers. The disc also includes the only piano transcription attempted by Beethoven of one of his own symphonies. www.hyperion-records.co.uk /details/67111.asp   (1305 words)

Beethoven: Songs Although many of Beethoven's own settings are essentially strophic in nature, his songs mark the first moves towards the 'through-composed' form later perfected by Schubert - the inherent simplicity of the strophic model was far too limited in scope for someone of Beethoven's profound musical intelligence. While Beethoven remains the single most influential figure in the history of Western music, his songs have always been somewhat sidelined. He saw music as a world of infinite possibilities, largely unencumbered by textual concerns, but when issues about which he felt strongly enough to express them through a sung text did occur the results were remarkable. www.hyperion-records.co.uk /details/67055.asp   (1305 words)

Island of Freedom - Richard Wagner Although Wagner's early training was slight by the standards of most major composers, he had an uncanny ability to copy the various styles he encountered in the music of his time. He decided at once, however, that he must also write music, and he proceeded to teach himself the rudiments of composition, supplementing them with the study of scores. The basic gestures and the orchestral sound (although not the large-scale architecture) of Beethoven are reflected in early instrumental works such as the Symphony in C, which Wagner completed in 1832. www.island-of-freedom.com /WAGNER.HTM   (1305 words)

Brian & Carol's Music Site The band was originally comprised mostly of music teachers and gradually began to bring in other professional musicians who were working around the Adelaide scene.

Del Wood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A native and lifetime resident of Nashville, Polly was surrounded by the influences of early country music and the remaining vestiges of ragtime, particularly through the guitar pickers. Del Wood was the professional pseudonym used by pianist Polly Adelaide Hendricks (February 22, 1920- October 3, 1989). Shortening her married name (Adelaide Hazelwood) to something easier to remember (and intentionally non-gender specific), Del started banging around in bands and honky-tonk joints in her 20s. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Del_Wood   (687 words)
