	Fennesz: Venice (2004): Reviews
		Venice doesn't hold together as well as Endless Summer, but it still proves another fascinating, creatively gallant album from one of the more vital artists currently operating in the world of electronica.
		Fennesz does an excellent job of balancing the IDM portions of his sound with more challenging layers of material, making music that is both individual in approach and eminently pleasing to hear.
		The fact that Venice takes a few missteps before getting into full strut inevitably takes its toll on the overall body of work.

	The Big Band Arrangers
		Not all of the "dance" and "society" bands of this era played Jazz, but it has been argued that those band's arrangers may have taken on the role of the Jazz musicians, by creating a form of improvisation, even if the performers were reading the charts.
		Much of the music that we recall from the Big Band era, is remembered not just because of the melody of the music, or the interest of the Lyric, but also because of the beauty of the Arrangments used by the Big Bands.
		He was able to occasionally play in a band at just age 6, and spent a good deal of his childhood studying every instrument in the band as well as harmony, theory, composition.

	Disney Shorts "The Band Concert"
		The short begins with Mickey and his band on the bandstand, acknowledging their applause of the audience and preparing for a performance of "The William Tell Overture." They begin, Mickey coaxing music out of the band using nothing more than baton movements and facial expressions.
		He brings the band to a magnificent coda; a magical Christmas tree of musicians and music.
		When "The Band Concert" came on, I was mesmerised, and by the time it was over I was rolling on the floor.

	Alessandro Scarlatti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scarlatti's music forms an important link between the early Baroque Italian vocal styles of the 17th century, with their centers in Florence, Venice and Rome, and the classical school of the 18th century, which culminated in Mozart.
		His few remaining masses (the story of his having composed two hundred is hardly credible) and church music in general are comparatively unimportant, except the great St Cecilia Mass (1721), which is one of the first attempts at the style which reached its height in the great masses of Johann Sebastian Bach and Beethoven.
		These represent the most intellectual type of chamber-music of their period, and it is to be regretted that they have remained almost entirely in manuscript, since a careful study of them is indispensable to anyone who wishes to form an adequate idea of Scarlatti's development.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Britten: Death in Venice / Pears, Shirley-Quirk, Bowman, Bowen, English Chamber Orchestra, Bedford at Epinions.com
		Death in Venice is complex, although one could hardly call it "Wagnerian" – the forces employed are quite lean: two each of the woodwinds, two horns, trumpets and trombones, a tuba, timpani, harp and piano, and a small string section.
		Second, Britten was fascinated by the music of Bali, as were so many modern composers, and actually created his own gamelan for this work, bringing a certain exotic strain to the music that is perhaps a suitable twentieth-century equivalent to the almost Baroque richness of sound in Wagner.
		What is central to Britten's Death in Venice, and I think in this he is true to Mann's story, is the idea that desire is a realm unto itself, with its own rules, its own motivations, and its own punishments.

	VIVALDI Music for the Chapel of the Pieta AVIE AV2063 [GPJ]: Classical CD Reviews- March 2005 MusicWeb-International
		All of this music was written by the ‘Red Priest’ for use in the Chapel of the Pietá, the Convent School for orphans (or ‘foundlings’) in Venice.
		This, and all the other instrumental music, is realised superbly by the players of La Serenissima, the enlarged chamber ensemble named after the city of its inspiration; the name being, of course, a poetic soubriquet for Venice itself.
		The music on the generously filled disc consists of three instrumental concerti and two solo vocal cantatas, Laudate Pueri and Salve Regina.

	Vivaldi, Antonio (1678 - 1741)
		The Italian composer and violinist Antonio Vivaldi was born in Venice in 1678 and after his ordination in 1703 embarked on an intermittent career in the service of the Ospedale della Pietà, an institution for the education of orphan, illegitimate or indigent girls, an establishment with a formidable musical reputation.
		He left Venice in 1741 in the apparent hope of finding new patrons in Vienna, where he died shortly after his arrival in the city.
