John Luther Adams' Everything That Rises for String Quartet. Composers note: I never imagined I would write a string quartet. Then I heard the JACK Quartet and I understood how Imight be able to make the medium my own. The result was The Wind in High Places - a twenty-minute work composed entirely on natural harmonics and open strings. Over the next few years twomore quartets followed. The second quartet  untouched  is a further exploration of the aeolian sound world of the first. Then in Canticles of the Sky the musicians finally touch the fingerboards of theirinstruments. And now comes Everything That Rises. This fourth quartet is more expansive both in time and in space. It grows out of Sila: The Breath of the World - aperformance-length choral/orchestral work composed on a rising series of sixteen harmonic clouds. Everything That Rises traverses this same territory but in a much more melodic way. Each musician isa soloist playing throughout. They surround the audience. Time floats. Over the course of an hour the lines spin out - always rising - in acoustically perfect intervals that grow progressively smaller as they spiralupward... until the music dissolves into the soft noise of the bows sighing. Duration: 60 minutes

John Luther Adams' Canticles Of The Sky for String Quartet. Composer's Note: In the Arctic sky the low angle of the sun and heavy ice crystals in the air often produce vivid halos arcs andsundogs (parhelia). Sometimes these phenomena create the illusion of multiple suns. 'Sky With Four Suns' is a musical evocation of such an apparition from sunrise to sunset. Similar visions also occur at night which isthe image behind 'Sky With Four Moons.' 'Sky With Nameless Colors' and 'Sky With Endless Stars' evoke the extraordinary depth and clarity of Sonoran Desert skies. This music is drawn from Canticles of the Holy Wind– a concert-length work for four choirs and vocal soloists. In this version sixteen separate choral parts have been condensed into the string quartet. String designations should be carefully observed. Frequent stringcrossings are employed to create as lush and continuous textures as possible. All sounds should be legato. Bowing is free and full throughout. Total performance duration is about 18:00

Par DENAVE LAURENT. Cette histoire de la musique américaine replace les différents courants et genres musicaux dans leur contexte économique et social. Elle ne se limite pas aux compositeurs, de Charles Ives à  John Adams, mais inclut les différentes formes de musique populaire, depuis la chanson engagée jusqu'au jazz, en passant par les comédies musicales de Broadway. Laurent Denave analyse les tensions entre une sphêre savante tôt divisée entre des créateurs originaux et des compositeurs conservateurs ou académiques, et une sphêre populaire dominée par les critêres commerciaux et davantage faite pour le peuple que par lui. Que ces critêres commerciaux s'introduisent à  l'intérieur de la musique savante, c'est précisément ce que l'auteur montre à  travers différents exemples historiques, qui conduisent à  la musique répétitive, assimilée ici à  la révolution conservatrice qui eut lieu sur le plan politique. Laurent Denave souligne à  quel point le critêre de la modernité musicale aux Etats-Unis est lié à  la capacité d'autonomie des compositeurs et comment - à  partir de la figure isolée de Charles Ives - cette autonomie a tenté de se structurer socialement à  travers différentes institutions, dont l'Université a finalement été l'une des plus importantes. Mais il montre aussi comment cette modernité a été tout au long du siècle aux prises avec les diverses formes de conservatisme et de populisme, ainsi qu'avec les intérêts commerciaux de l'industrie musicale. L'analyse sociologique des conditions mêmes de la musique savante fait apparaître l'exclusion de certaines catégories sociales. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Opera in Two Acts. Ostensibly a biography of Susan B. Anthony and the suffragette movement Stein's libretto slyly fractures history and expands the argument beyond votes for women to the essence of equality in America. Susan B.'s world is peopled with a demented mix of contemporaries (Ulysses S. Grant Lillian Russell) anachronistic figures (Daniel Webster John Adams) and symbolic characters (Jo the Loiterer Chris the Citizen). Together they weave an unconventional but convincing crazy quilt of American dreams ideals and values.

This well-known tribute to the wonders of aviation was written by American John Gillespie Magee Jr. just three months before he died in World War II. Ronald Reagan used a well-remembered line in his famous tribute following thetragic loss of the Challenger 7 crew in 1986: “We shall never forget them nor the last time we saw them as they prepared for their mission and waved good-bye and 'slipped the surly bonds of Earth ... to touch the face ofGod.'”
