Adolphus Hailstork

  • #ClassicsaDay #BlackHistoryMonth Week 3

    Feb 19th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #BlackHistoryMonth, #ClassicsaDay, Adolphus Hailstork, Helen Hagan, Julius Eastman, Philippa Schuyler, Twitter, Undine Smith Moore

    The Classics a Day team has celebrated Black composers before. This time around, I tried to avoid duplication with previous posts. It was easy to do. There is a lot of classical music by persons of color, both in the past as well as the present. A lot. Here are my posts for the third […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalChristmas Week 4

    Dec 25th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalChristmas, #ClassicsaDay, Adolphus Hailstork, Alessandro Scarlatti, Classical music, John Knowles Paine, Margaret Bonds, Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Twitter

    For the past four years, the #ClassicsaDay team has adopted  Classical Christmas as its theme for December. And why not? We have a rich body of music related to the season dating back to the Middle Ages. A good deal of it is religious, but not all — many works are simply inspired by the […]

  • Classical Interviews – Adolphus Hailstork

    Photo by Fresno PhilharmonicAdolphus Hailstork, a composer, scholar, and musician, spoke with WTJU about his start in composing, meeting a lifelong goal, and his most recent work. Dr. Hailstork has written numerous works for chorus, solo voice, piano, organ, various chamber ensembles, band, orchestra, and opera. Hailstork’s newest works include THE WORLD CALLED (based on […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #BlackLivesMatter Week 2

    Jul 10th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #BlackLivesMatter, #ClassicsaDay, Adolphus Hailstork, Anthony R. Green, Carles Lucien Lambert, Clarence Cameron White, Classical music, Lucien-Léon Guillaume Lambert, Twitter

    The Classics a Day team unanimously decided to make #BlackLivesMatter the theme for July. Classical music isn’t immune to systemic racism. It’s an art form that, like painting, sculpture, literature, or poetry, is a powerful form of expression for many voices. But some voices are heard more often than others. If you’d like to learn […]

  • July 4th Classical Music – Moving 1776 beyond 1812

    Jul 4th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: 4th of July, Adolphus Hailstork, Arseny Avraamov, C.L. Barnhouse, Classical music, Joan Tower, John Philip Sousa, William Grant Still

    For Independence Day celebrations, there few classical works that make the cut. You can usually count on hearing a John Philip Sousa march. Perhaps Aaron Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man,” And, if the presenters have the budget and/or a National Guard armory nearby, Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture.” Time for a change I get it. “1812” […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #BlackMusicMonth Week 2

    Jun 14th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #BlackMusicMonth, #ClassicsaDay, Adolphus Hailstork, Derrick Spiva Jr, Dorothy Rudd Moore, Olly Wilson, Twitter, Ulysses Kay

    Since 1979, June has been African-American Music Appreciation Month. The Classics a Day team decided to adopt it for the June 2019 theme as well. Popular music genres will no doubt be well-represented by others. We’ll be focusing on the composers, conductors, and performing artists of color who have contributed to classical music. For my […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #WeWriteSymphonies Annotated List – Week 3

    Feb 23rd, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #WeWriteSymphonies, Adolphus Hailstork, Diedre Murray, Jeffrey Mumford, Julia Perry, Twitter

    I’m a regular contributor to the #ClassicsaDay feed on Twitter. At a speech in Poland on 7/6/17, the President said, “The world has never known anything like our community of nations. We write symphonies.” The next day #WeWriteSymphonies appeared on Twitter, citing all the non-Western — and non-white — composers who do indeed write symphonies. […]

  • Adolphus Hailstork – An American Port of Call

    Dec 26th, 2012 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Adolphus Hailstork, CD Review, contemporary classical music, JoAnn Falletta, Orchestral music, Virginia Symphony

    American composer Adolphus Hailstork has been quietly building up an impressive catalog of well-crafted works. This new collection brings some of them to light. Hailstork’s Symphony No. 1 is an expansive work with plenty of energy. Hailstork’s melodies are always tuneful and rhythmic, which makes this symphony sparkle. For the most part, the work’s thinly […]
