  • #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 #BlackHistoryMonth 2022 Week 1

    Feb 4th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #BlackHistoryMonth, #ClassicsaDay, Classical music, Florence Price, James Lee III, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Shawn Okpebholo, Twitter

    February is Black History Month, and a great opportunity to explore the music of black composers. That’s what the Classics a Day team felt, anyway. As always, I tried to find works and composers that I hadn’t shared before during #BlackHistoryMonth. Here are my posts for the first week. 02/01/22 Shawn Okpebholo – Two Black […]

  • Elizabeth Llewellyn’s Heartfelt Debut

    May 25th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Elizabeth llewellyn, Orchid Classics, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Simon Lepper

    For her debut recording, Elizabeth Llewellyn presents a recital of songs by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. In the liner notes, she writes, “I could have recorded some Puccini or Verdi… But I felt passionately that, if I was going to spend much time, energy, and money on an album, it was important to create something which had […]

  • Trio Anima Mundi Unearth British Gems

    Aug 11th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Divine Art, Harry Waldo Warner, James Cliffe Forester, Rosalind Ellicott, Rutland Boughton, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Trio Anima Mundi

    The Trio Anima Mundi calls what they do “piano trio archaeology.” Buried under the standard repertoire are layers of exceptional music. And the trio has unearthed some real finds. Two of these composers in this program are well-known (sort of), the others not. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Rutland Boughton have been rated one-hit wonders, for “Hiawatha” […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalChristmas Week 1

    Dec 7th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalChristmas, #ClassicsaDay, Arthur Sullivan, Classical music, Frederick Delius, Georg Philipp Telemann, Holiday music, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Billings

    This is the second year the #ClassicsaDay team went with a Classical Christmas theme. And that’s fine. If you think about it, composers have been writing works for the season as long as there’s been notation to preserve them. For my contributions, I tried to avoid the obvious choices. In the process, I discovered some […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalNine Week 1

    Sep 7th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, Alan Hovhaness, Anton Arensky, Louis Spohr, Ludwig Schunke, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, 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 #PoetryMonth Week 1

    Apr 6th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #PoetryMonth, Claude Debussy, Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Twitter

    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.   […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #WeWriteSymphonies Annotated List – Week 4

    Mar 2nd, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #WeWriteSymphonies, Edmond Dédé, José Maurício Nunes Garcia, José Silvestre White Lafitte, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Twitter, William Grant Still

    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. […]
