Bach Christian Ferdinand Abel 1717 1723 1726
It is thought that Bach wrote his six suites for unaccompanied cello between 1717 and 1723, while he was in the employ of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen and had two superb solo cellists, Bernard Christian Linigke and Christian Ferdinand Abel, at his disposal. However, the earliest copy of the suites dates from 1726, and no autographs survive. Thus a chronological order is difficult to prove, though one guesses that these suites were composed in numerical order from the way that they gradually evolve and deepen, both technically and musically. A Baroque suite is typically a collection of dance movements, usually in binary form with each half repeated. Common elements of the suite were the Allemande (German dance), a moderately slow duple-meter dance; the Courante, a faster dance in triple meter; the Sarabande, a Spanish-derived dance in a slow triple meter with emphasis on the second beat; and a Gigue (Jig), which is rapid, jaunty, and energetic. Bach took these typical dance forms and abstracted them, and then added a free-form, almost improvisatory Prelude which sets the tone for each suite, and a galanterie, an additional dance interposed between Sarabande and Gigue. (In the first two suites, Bach uses a pair of Minuets.) With these dances, Bach experimented and created the first, and arguably still the finest, solo works for a relatively new instrument. The Suite in D minor is one of two minor-key suites among the six for solo cello. With this suite, Bach seems to aspire to an almost Beethovenian mixture of tragedy and defiance, all within his usual framework of strict procedures. There are six movements: a Prelude, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, double Minuet, and Gigue. The Prelude reminds this listener of a great Bach organ toccata (and some observers, indeed, have speculated on links between Bach's organ improvisations and his string writing). Bach uses a simple arpeggio figure to build phrases of ever-increasing complexity, as in the parallel passage in the first suite. But here the minor-key arpeggio that sets the tone for the work is used to gradually build tension as it climbs through the cello's range in a series of rising waves. The movement builds to a high-pitched, tense climax, followed by an improviser's silence while the echoes die out. Finally we return to the low strings for a coda that sums up the movement in small, intimate terms. Although this piece was originally written for cello, I transcribed it for Viola and it is best played using the "GeneralUser GS.sf2" Soundfont by S.

Mesa redonda: Agencia y recepción artística. Intercambio de obras y promoción de artistas En castellano: (http•••) Sheila ffolliott, George Mason University; The Medici Archive Project Almudena Pérez de Tudela, Patrimonio Nacional Modera: Vanessa de Cruz Medina, Universidad de Castilla la Mancha Esta mesa forma parte del Simposio "Protagonistas femeninas en la formación de las colecciones del Prado. De Isabel I de Castilla a Isabel Clara Eugenia", celebrado los días 7 y 8 de marzo de 2022 en el Museo del Prado. Más información sobre el simposio: (http•••) La formación de las colecciones del Museo del Prado está estrechamente ligada a la labor de promoción artística que desarrollaron algunas de las mujeres más representativas de las casas reales, desde Isabel I de Castilla a Isabel II. Sin embargo, a menudo, paseamos por las salas del Museo sin reparar en ello, sin advertir que algunas de sus obras maestras son fruto de un patronazgo en femenino. Con motivo de la celebración del Día Internacional de la Mujer, el Museo del Prado reúne a destacados especialistas internacionales en un simposio que pretende dirigir nuestra mirada hacia aquellas mujeres que promocionaron, coleccionaron e inspiraron algunas de las obras de arte más emblemáticas de esta institución. Mujeres cuyas actuaciones, enmarcadas entre 1451 y 1633, coinciden con los años comprendidos entre el nacimiento de Isabel la Católica y la muerte de Isabel Clara Eugenia. Reinas, princesas, regentes y gobernadoras que desempeñaron un papel fundamental no sólo en el ámbito de la promoción de obras de arte, sino en los principales escenarios del poder, siendo responsables, en gran medida, de la internacionalización de la Monarquía Hispánica. / More information: (http•••) The creation of the collections of the Museo del Prado is closely linked to the artistic patronage undertaken by some of the most prominent female figures of the Spanish monarchy, from Isabella I of Castile to Isabel II. Nonetheless, it is easy to pass through the Museum’s galleries without observing this fact and without appreciating that some of its masterpieces are the result of women’s support for the arts. To mark International Women’s Day, the Museo del Prado is bringing together leading international specialists for a symposium which will aim to draw attention to the women who promoted, collected and inspired some of the Museum’s most iconic works: women whose activities, dating between 1451 and 1633, coincide with the period between the birth of Isabella the Catholic and the death of Isabel Clara Eugenia. These queens, princesses, regents and governors played a key role not just with regard to the promotion of works of art but also in the principal settings of power and were largely responsible for the internationalisation of the Spanish monarchy.

Bedroom Concerto #1 2021, Dominic Laxamana. All rights reserved. In partial fulfillment of the requirements of MuP 196 Playing time: 47 minutes Bedroom Concerto #1 is a seven-movement opus for orchestra, granulated samples, and synthesized melodic and percussion instruments. It is a work that can be performed live in the concert hall, but due to limited resources accentuated by the Covid-19 lockdown, the recording for my graduation recital is created with MIDI programming and sampled playback. The accessibility of computer programs and recording equipment allows one to create his/her own cost-efficient large work created specifically for listening at home or on the go. The melodic weaving between synthesizer presets and orchestra is an extension of the impressionist orchestration innovated by Debussy and Ravel. Klangfarbenmelodie (tone-color melody) is also incorporated. Melodic synthesizers are assigned modulating timbres for smoothly shifting instrumentation via mod wheel automations. Regarding other elements of music, polyrhythms are used to create time-based textures. Chromaticism is employed for tonal obfuscation. The structure of the piece is a dialogue between musique concrète and a more familiar convention of orchestral music. A recurring motif, based on the pelog scale of the Indonesian gamelan, is heard throughout the whole opus in various transmutations. The theory of evolution serves as my narrative basis, with a specific focus on mankind’s struggle to live in harmony with nature. I. Prologue (02:17) The first movement prologue starts in the key of G# minor but the latter part is a musique concrète work created with the same orchestral renderings of the first part of the prologue, only to be cut, stretched, spliced, pitch-shifted, and filtered through various granular synthesizer effects (I used Hadron Granular Synthesizer). II. Sonata (06:45) Keeping with the tradition of symphonies and concertos (though not placed as the first movement), a sonata form in D# minor takes form as the second movement. III. Interlude 1 (18:30) The third movement, a concrète interlude, still utilizes the same orchestral samples as the prologue, but spliced and pitch shifted to anticipate motifs of the other movements (such as the subject of the succeeding fugue). The interlude ends with samples that are spliced to mimic the interlocking patterns of the Philippine gangsa commonly heard in the Cordillera highlands. IV. Fuga (23:56) The fourth movement is a fugue in C# minor. The contrapuntal basis for the fugue has a subject and three countersubjects. The four voices are spread across the performing groups. Instead of keeping a constant time signature like the fugues of Bach and Shostakovich, this fugue has shifting time signatures with callbacks to established motifs. The structure of the movement is one mise-en-scène exposition and eleven episodes of free counterpoint interjected with several codettas and strettos. V. Interlude 2 (34:16) The fifth movement, which is the second concrète interlude, is a recap of the primordial listening of the previous concrète sections after an exhibition of harmonies that humans have evolved to develop and appreciate. The inclusion of this interlude is a mere reflection of humanity being a synthesis of the past and present, whose future is determined by both its willpower and its uncontrollable probabilities. VI. Time Mandala (37:04) The sixth movement, Time Mandala, is chronologically the first conceived movement of the concerto. It is based on a derived pelog scale of the Indonesian gamelan and the idea had been expanded into the other orchestral movements. VII. Epilogue (48:16) The final movement is a concrète epilogue that features the whole orchestral recording of the prologue, albeit the recording being spliced and reversed, signifying the work has come full circle.

Conical intersections (CI)s are degeneracy points of adiabatic molecular potential energy surfaces and play a key mechanistic role in many biological, chemical and physical processes (e.g. photochemistry, primary photoisomerization events in vision, molecular electronics, molecular light-harvesting processes etc.) Generally, the nonadiabatic phenomenon is an intrinsic property of a molecular system owing to the strong coupling between the nuclei and electrons, but such an effect can also be induced by light. This can either be classical laser or quantum light which is present in a cavity. In this case the vibrational, (rotational), electronic and photonic modes are coupled nonadiabatically and so-called light-induced conical intersection (LICI) arises. In contrast to field-free polyatomic molecules where the CI is given by nature, the energetic and spatial position of these LICIs can be controlled by varying the parameters of the cavity. The first part of the talk discusses how the quantum LICI can modify the topological, spectroscopic and dynamical properties of molecular systems. In the second part of the talk I present our recent results on the applicability of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation (BOA) in an optical cavity.
