  • #ClassicsaDay #PoetryMonth Week 1, 2022

    Apr 8th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #PoetryMonth, Franz Schubert, George Crumb, John Adams, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

    What’s the connection between classical music and poetry? To celebrate Poetry Month, the Classics a Day team encouraged folks to find out. For the month of April, the challenge is to post poetry used in classical music or works inspired by poetry.   Here are my posts for the first week of #PoetryMonth 04/04/22 George […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalShorts Week 1

    Feb 8th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Classical music, Claudio Monteverdi, Francisco Tarrega, Frederic Chopin, Fritz Kreisler, John Adams, Twitter

    February is the shortest month of the year. That fact inspired #ClassicsaDay team (of which I’m a member) to make short classical pieces the theme for the month. The challenge is to select stand-alone works, not movements of larger pieces. Participants post links to short classical pieces in the social media channel of their choice, […]

    Apr 13th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves

    What’s the connection between classical music and classic poetry? That was theme some of us decided to explore with #ClassicsaDay. For April 2018 we posted examples of settings of poetry in classical music, works inspired by poetry, and more. Here’s an annotated list of the works I posted for the first week of #PoetryMonth. Gustav […]

    Aug 17th, 2015 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Amanda Harberg, American Modern Recordings, Blair McMillen, CD Review, Chamber music, contemporary classical music, Doug Opel, Frederic Rzewski, John Adams, John Corigliano, mary Ellen childs, Robert Paterson, Stephen Gosling

    I haven’t heard the original Powerhouse Pianists album, but after listening to this release, I’ll be searching it out. This release features the same type of programming as the first Powerhouse Pianists, although it can be enjoyed on its own merits. Pianists Stephen Gosling and Blair McMillen present a collection of contemporary works that push […]

  • Composing America Lark Quartet Bridge

    Composing America: Lark Quartet’s study in contrasts

    Mar 31st, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Aaron Copland, Bridge Records, CD Review, Chamber music, Composing America, Contemporary classical, John Adams, Paul Morevic, The Lark Quartet, William Bolcom

    The Lark Quartet’s latest release is a broad sampling of American string quartet music — and it’s broad in many ways. First, it ranges from the  1928 modernism of Aaron Copland, through the minimalism of John Adams, the populist sound of William Bolcom and ending with the more formal writing of Paul Moravec. It’s also broad […]

  • Attacca Quartet – Fresh Take on John Adams

    Sep 24th, 2013 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Attacca Quartet, Azica, CD Review, Chamber music, contemporary classical music, John Adams

    The Attacca Quartet is a relatively new quartet, which is significant. Because they bring a youthful attitude and energy to Adam’s music — and the works benefit greatly from it. “John’s Book of Alleged Dances” is a wonderful collection of made-up dances. And its a set that should be played with a sense of fun. […]
