Beautiful rendition of Drink to Me... (song to Celia), the poem by Ben Jonson; it also brought out the best of Johnny Cash's voice when he covered it. Amazing how the musical qualities and relations of words live on and on...

Expressive writing for the voice of the viola and the piano blend made this a masterful composition. The performance brought all of this out and I am sure that this has done the composer's heart good and he is beaming from ear to ear.

It was originally written, I believe in 2008, for violist Beverly Baker and it is meant to evoke memories of Hailstork 's time as a chorister at the Cathedral of All Saints in Albany, New York.

This work is based on a Kenyan folk song, a lullaby from Lake Victoria. The words basically says to child to be quite and go to sleep for the child that is not quite will be eaten by the hyenas and the child that is quite will not be eaten. Thanks to Seychelle Dunn-Corbin, saxophonist, dancer Jenny Oliver, and video by Dave Jamrog for such a wonderful job in portraying the peacefulness of this lullaby.

As befits a composer with solid academic credentials, every note is in place, every gesture precisely calibrated. Unfortunately it is boring and predictable, also befitting it's academic status.

Thanks, Anthony for keeping Harriet Jacobs alive thru your opera. Seven years is a long time to live in isolation and to be on the run from an abusive captor. How wish I had bilocation and could travel safely to your premiere! Alas life has other plans. Please share performance links if possible. Meanwhile, know that i am with you in Spirit cheering for what I know will be a wonderful premiere. Harriet is smiling on you and all who articulate her plight and triumph.

phrasing is way too european classical for a Price piecel, that's not celebrating Price at all, it's like saying "we don't care that it's Price, we'll play the quartet with same language that we could play Brahms or Beethoven, because this is the right way to do it". The name is "juba", not "sarabande" or "polka", so interpretation must be in that line... so. less violin sound, more fiddle sound, guys

8 billion people on the planet and we all have to play and sound the same?!? No way. Celebrate the fact that Price's music is being made. Great intonation, rhythm, and excellent professional musicians.
@NSC006 Жыл бұрын
@@rjwohlman playing Price's music with european phrasing is an insult to Price's memory and work. Adaptating to the language is a must-do for every single player, and normally with european repertoire they do it. Not adapting the phrasing to the language is a way to say "i don't care for the author's work" or "the author doesn't deserve it, I'll just play it like I know"
@catkeys6911 Жыл бұрын
Oh, what- it's not bluesy enough for you? This *is* celebrating Price by giving her the recognition that she's always deserved. Because of her brilliance and originality, it was impossible NOT to recognize her contributions to music, but she certainly was up against the more primitive social thinking that went on in her day. So just be happy this is on KZbin. There'll probably be more performances of it. For the record, I LOVE the American-ness of Price's compositions; I'm tired of composers like Brahms Mozart and Beethoven getting all the glory.

I think that what's missing here is what an incredible student of 18th and 19th century music Ms Price was...that's one of the things that made her such a visionary teacher...so well-informed. She seamlessly incorporated elements of classical and non-classical styles together to create a wonderful musical fusion...that's why this mvt actually works with several approaches, to my ear. She was simply brilliant...and a master of multiple styles.
