Nadia Boulanger - did any of you study with her? I'm listening to an album |
|
Edited on Mon Jun-19-06 03:25 PM by Rabrrrrrr
of music by Monteverdi performed by her and the "Nadia Boulanger" ensemble.
I know some of the famous greats studied with her: Philip Glass, Joe Raposo, Copland, Elliot Carter, David Diamond, Walter Piston, and so on. Did you?
I think that, beyond that one opera of Monteverdi's, this is the only other Monteverdi music I've ever heard - hautningly and enchantingly beautiful.
It's mostly songs for one or just a few voices, and piano with other instrumentation in a small way.

14. I'm not a serious musician, but I love Baltimore. Used to live in DC. |
|
Stayed at an old hotel (can't remember its name) near Peabody last time I went to Baltimore for the incredible party at the American Visionary Arts Museum.

2. Joe Raposo?!? You mean like Sesame Street Joe Raposo? |
|
Then why does everything he wrote for general music textbooks sound exactly the same?
