By -

Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductee Sandi Patty joins the Colorado Symphony and Colorado Symphony Chorus for an inspirational night of Americana on Friday, June 3 at Boettcher Concert Hall. This one-night-only event features the five-time Grammy® Award-winner as she celebrates American music with such classics as "America the Beautiful," "The Stars and Stripes Forever" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

Winner of 39 Dove Awards, Patty is the most-awarded female vocalist in contemporary Christian music history with album sales in excess of 11 million, garnering her three platinum and five gold recordings. In her evening with the Colorado Symphony led by Scott O'Neil, and the Colorado Symphony Chorus under the direction of Duain Wolfe, Patty shines the spotlight on the Great American Songbook: music that is part of our cultural fabric. The evening features Patty in performance of unforgettable songs such as "Can't Help Lovin' That Man of Mine" from the 1927 musical Show Boat, and "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Disney's Pinocchio. Patty promises to delight concertgoers with "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel, "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from Disney's Cinderella, and "Our Love Is Here To Stay," written by George and Ira Gershwin for the film The Goldwyn Follies and featured in the 1951 blockbuster, An American in Paris.

The Role of Music in Opera

By -
There are numerous books on the topic, and every composer, librettist, director, singer and audience member has their opinion as to what role the music should play in an opera. In a play without music, the words ought to support the meaning behind a character's actions. However, in the case of action movies, often times the action is what tells the story and there aren't words, just images to forward the plot. We might hear music to accompany action, build tension, but the action tells the story. Musicals tend to speak until the emotion of the moment just "has" to break out in song - unless it's something like "Mama Mia" where the dialog is the rails we travel on between songs; the songs themselves, written before the concept of the musical, are the focus of the production, while the story is secondary. Operas are a different beast. The music provides emotion to the words spoken, but it also plays the role of ambience when there is only action. In ...

Teaching Composition – What are we trying to achieve

By -
In the process of learning composition I have spent time with a number of instructors who have encouraged me to write twelve-tone, pitch-class, electro-acoustic and other forms of experimental techniques. No matter how much I might understand and appreciate the work of other composers in the genres, these are not forms of music I resonate with. They are simply not forms of music I listen to and I struggle with the idea of writing them. However, in a Master Class by Libby Larsen she made the comment, “Learn them all, because all forms of music have something to offer.” This I very much agree. There are elements of each of the above mentioned forms (and others) that I do resonate with. Berg’s Violin Concerto is a beautiful twelve-tone work, although it is possible to look at numerous sections of the music with a “tonal” analysis. Another composer friend, Gary Bachlund commented that using these techniques can narrow the choices for how to compose a piece of work. If you look at ...
