Fifteen Minutes of Fame


THE CRANE HARP ENSEMBLE CELEBRATES ITS 15TH SEASON WITH FIFTEEN MINUTES OF
FAME


The Crane Harp Ensemble celebrates its fifteenth season with four
performances of Fifteen Minutes of Fame on concert tour through New York
State from Potsdam to new York City.

The Crane Harp Ensemble comprised of multiple harp players creates a unique
atmosphere by performing as harp duos, trios, quartets, and as a full
ensemble. It is a rare opportunity to see several harp players performing
together as an ensemble. This Composer's Voice concert is part of a New York
State tour which starts in Potsdam with a live video stream performance at
the Crane School of Music and ends in New York City.

Fifteen Minutes of Fame is 15 one-minute works by different composers
specifically written for The Crane Ensemble. The composers include: Erik
Branch, Inna Buganina, David Heinick, Elbert Liu, Martin Loridan, Roger May,
Buck McDaniel, Michael Mikulka, Akmal Parwez, Robert Percy, Edward
Ruchalski, Curtis Nathaniel Smith, Gregoria Karides Suchy, Christopher M.
Wicks, and Farcry C. Zuke.

In addition to the Fifteen Minutes of Fame "suite", two other works featured
on this concert have been written for the Crane Harp Ensemble: Ryan Mix's
When/Where Lightning Strikes at the T and Two Brothers Dance in Spacetime:
Two Amalgamating Memories of Adolescence and their Art of Deliquescing
Entropy, and a newly-commissioned work by John Paul Brabant titled
Soliloquy.

Also on this program are Domenick Argento's The Angel Israfil, Caroline
Lizotte's Raga, Gregoria Karides Suchy's Save, O Lord, Thy People and Sufjan
Steven's Chicago, arranged by ensemble member, Mikaela Davis.

Founded in 1999 under the direction of Dr. Jessica Suchy-Pilalis, Professor
of Harp and Music Theory at the Crane School of Music, SUNY-Potsdam, the
ensemble enjoys playing new and unusual music for multiple harps.
http://www2.potsdam.edu/suchyjr/harp/craneharpens.html

This year, the Crane Harp Ensemble is comprised of seven collegiate harp
majors: Katherine Berquist, Emily Chevrette, Mikaela Davis, Katherine
Federiconi, Gillian Macchia, Kelsey Munz and Anna Wiegandt.

Composer's Voice Concert Series is an opportunity for contemporary composers
to express their musical aesthetic and personal "voice" created in their
compositions. The "Composer's Voice" concert series has presented over 100
concerts throughout the world premiering the works of thousands of living
composers. www.voxnovus.com/composersvoice/

Ninjas

Ninjas <http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/13-11-08-Ninjas.jpg>

It was a crisp autumn evening in midtown Manhattan. Scores of pedestrians,
each with a story to tell, bustled up and down the sidewalk as a
never-ending flotilla of cars and trucks streamed past on 7th Avenue. The
pennants attached to the top of the newspaper kiosk at the corner of 57th
Street fluttered gaily in the breeze. Nearby, a shoeshine man cheerfully
plied his trade on a women's pair of elegant alligator wingbacks. And in
front of the renowned Carnegie Hall stood a man, a one-man band, his
instruments wrapped around him like a noisy cocoon. He was playing - was it
Schubert? Huddled in the shuttered doorway of the Eureka Cafe across the
street, Dan nodded solemnly. He well knew that melody. It was the opening
strains of the 9th Symphony, the same tune that that damn ninja had hummed
as he and his black-clad chums coolly chopped up his family last July.
Eloise, Mabel and little Boise, all reduced to breadbox-sized chunks in a
matter of minutes. And all the while, that guy kept humming that damn tune.
And now, that man across the street was playing it! Dan peered at him. Maybe
he wasn't a musician after all. Maybe he was really a ninja! If only he knew
some kung fu, he'd go across the street, make him stop! But wait. Now the
man was playing that little set of pipes. A panpipe, that's what it was
called. Ooo, now Dan found that sound oddly soothing. Its reedy quality
tickled his ears, made him forget all about the ... the ninjas. A
businessman hastening by paused to read Dan's sign and fling a dollar into
his hat. Dan smiled thinly at him, nodding his head in acknowledge-ment.
Just another four hundred ninety-one dollars and those kung fu lessons would
be his! Across the street, the man had abruptly stopped playing. He was
coughing and clutching at his throat. No, don't stop, thought Dan. The
absence of the panpipe was so disconcerting that it seemed louder than the
honking 7th Avenue traffic. Except now those car horns sounded like the
Schubert symphony melody! "Nnnnnnnnn," moaned Dan. 'Nnnnninja!' replied a
voice in his head. And then he saw them, a hundred black-clad warriors
disguised as insects with pincers attacking the man in front of Carnegie
Hall. Ninjas! He must do something! But then his attention was drawn to the
woman who dropped another dollar in his hat. He smiled crookedly. Only
another four hundred ninety to ...
