Julia Perry Working Group on Humanities Commons 3 years, 7 months agoHello friends–
I just got a query about premiere dates for Perry’s Frammenti dalle lettere de Santa Caterina and Pastorale. These are both being performed by the Akron Symphony Orchestra this season. I do not have any info on the premieres of these works, but possibly one of you might know something? If so, please share or contact me!

David Neumeyer deposited Register and Cadence Gesture (2): Gershwin’s “Embraceable You” in the group
Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 3 years, 11 months agoThis is a companion piece to an essay on Jerome Kern’s “All the Things You Are,” where an alternative ending with a rising melodic gesture is written into the published sheet music. The survey of Gershwin’s “Embraceable You” here was inspired by a similar figure in an early recorded performance by Sarah Vaughan.

David Neumeyer deposited Register and Cadence Gesture (1): Jerome Kern’s “All the Things You Are” in the group

The topic is explored through analysis of 51 recorded performances.

Julia Perry Working Group on Humanities Commons 4 years agoMeg, this is really helpful. I’m working on a conference paper on Perry’s The Selfish Giant, and there a lot of it is sprechgesang in the vocal parts and either a drone or a repeated figure in the orchestra. In one section I’m grappling with, she uses a (026) figure with interpolations and then reduces it to just an (02) set. What’s the accepted…[Read more]
