  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalDoubleDigits Week 2

    Jan 10th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalAutumn, #ClassicalDoubleDigits, #ClassicsaDay, Alfonso X, Clara Wieck Schumann, Classical music, Johann Sebastian Bach, Marco dall'Aquila, Twitter

    The Classics a Day team noted that the new year is comprised of two twenties — double digits. So the theme for January 2020 is to post other examples of double digits found in classical music. Prolific composers are a good place to start. But I found a few surprises among composers with very small […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalEleven Week 1

    Nov 8th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, Alan Hovhaness, Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, Felix Mendelssohn, Giovanni Punto, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Twitter

    Numbers have meaning. But meaning can depend on context. The Classics a Day team made “eleven” the theme for November, the eleventh month. The challenge is to post performances of classical music that involve the number. I chose a mix. Some pieces involve eleven players. Some are the eleventh type of piece by a composer. […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalSchool Week 2

    Sep 13th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalSchool, #ClassicsaDay, Carl Czerny, Classical music, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Johann Sebastian Bach, Maria Szymanowska, Twitter

    Traditionally, September is the back-to-school month. The Classics a Day team decided to mark the occasion. Classical School is the theme for September 2019. To participate, just post a piece of classical music that’s somehow related to education with the appropriate hashtags. What would count? Any classical work about school, or using themes from schools; […]

  • Das neugeborne Kindelein – Baroque Cantatas for the Season

    Dec 5th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Accent, Baroque music, CD Review, Classical music, Dietrich Buxtehude, Georg Philipp Telemann, Holiday music, Johann Sebastian Bach

    This release presents Christmas cantatas from three German Baroque masters: Dieterich Buxtehude, Georg Philipp Telemann, and Johann Sebastian Bach. All three wrote cantatas for each Sunday of the Liturgical calendar. Buxtehude was of the generation before Telemann and Bach and was a model to the younger composers. His cantata Das neugeborne Kindelein opens the program. It’s […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #FamousLastWorks Week 3

    Oct 19th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #FamousLastWorks, Dmitri Shostakovich, Edward Elgar, Johann Sebastian Bach, Richard Strauss, Sergei Prokofiev

    For the month of October, the #ClassicsaDay team (of which I’m a part), decided to go with a Halloween theme. The idea is to share works marked in some way with the composer’s demise. It can be the last piece a composer completed before death, or one left incomplete at death. For my part, I […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalNine Week 2

    Sep 14th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalNine, #ClassicsaDay, Classical music, Franz Lachner, George Onslow, Heiter Villa-Lobos, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Twitter

    September is the ninth month of the year. And so the #ClassicsaDay team decided to make the number the theme. For September 2018, the challenge is to post classical works that have to do with the number nine. I chose to alternate between nonets, opus nine compositions, and works with a catalog number of nine. […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #SchumannsCircle Week 4

    Jun 29th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #SchumannsCircle, Franz Liszt, Giovanni di Palestrina, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, Romantic period, Twitter

    Robert Schumann was born on June 8, 1810. Some of us contributing to the #ClassicsaDay feed decided to celebrate that birthday. For the month of June, we encouraged folks to post works by Schumann and his circle. Schumann worked with several major composers of the day. He also reviewed up-and-coming composers in his magazine. Here […]

  • Cosmography of Polyphony Travels Well

    Aug 16th, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Adrian Willaert, Alfonso Ferrabosco, Alonso Lobo, Anthony Holborn, Antoine Brumel, Carlo Gesualdo, CD Review, Classical music, early music, Hernando de Cabezón, Hester Groenleer, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Ockeghem, María Martínez Ayerza, Nicolas Gombert, Osbert Parsley, Pan Classics, Petri Arvo, Pierre Phalèse, Royal Wind Music

    Webster’s defines cosmography as “a description of the world.” In “Cosmography of Polyphony,” the Royal Wind Music describe their world of renaissance music through their concert repertoire. This ensemble of twelve recorder players presents music from Johannes Ockeghem (early 1500s) through Johann Sebastian Bach (mid-1700s). Playing polyphonic vocal works on instruments was standard practice in […]
