Summer Slumber


Awaking from Summer slumber; NM421 is back in force! (Not that there was
really too much rest for me, if you are interested in all that take a look
at facebook.)

A new season begins for Composer's Voice. Coming up on September 15th
Composer's Voice starts its fall season with a Fifteen Minutes of Fame using
text from Shakespeare's character Titania. There are great things in store
for Composer's Voice and we have fantastic musicians traveling form all over
to come and perform new works for us here in New York City.

Fifteen Minutes of Fame is just taken off! We have more than 10 calls open
for composers to submit works. We have many many performances set for
ensembles to premiere works here in New York City and across the globe. And
that is just a teaser! There is so much more brewing we hope to announce
soon.

60x60 is slowing waking up from the summer. I hope to get more information
out about the upcoming events and calls soon. I am still looking for
volunteers and presenters, please contact me if you are interested in
helping.

And now NM421 has returned with lots of new music postcards from David Gunn,
reviews for our series, composer opportunities and much much more. I am
looking for writers, bloggers, and reviewers for NM421; if you are
interested, please contact me.

Much more coming soon! Hang on tight!

The Original Night Visitors

The Original Night Visitors
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/13-09-06-The_Original_Night_Vi
sitors.jpg>

Will we ever see the original "Amahl and the Night Visitors?" That first
version of Gian Carlo Menotti's opera begins with chronic fibber Amahl
Goldberg sitting outside his house in Miami Beach playing a tuba. He tells
his mother that an amazing star "as big as a window" is hovering overhead,
and the two of them trade arias about it ("O Mother, You Should Go Outside";
"Stop Bothering Me!"). But this time, the kid isn't kidding, as hundreds of
city folk later attest ("Enquiring Minds Need to Know"). Soon,
extraterrestrials invade the Earth, subjugating humankind and despoiling the
planet's tomatoes. NBC, which commissioned the opera, was hoping for a more
uplifting plot line. So Menotti, who was behind on his rent and needed the
money, rewrote it. Three benevolent kings replaced the aliens, and all
traces of serialism - so crucial to the despoiling of tomatoes scene -
vanished. Doesn't any enquiring mind long to see the original?

Announcing results for

Katie Crawford and Rebecca Ashe



Vox Novus called one-minute pieces composed for Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame:
Titania, Queen of the Fairies featuring Katherine Crawford and Rebecca Ashe.
The works were inspired on lines spoken by the character Titania (Queen of
the Fairies) in William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Composer's selected for this Fifteen Minutes of Fame are: Michele Abondano,
Brad Baumgardner, Erik Branch, Sabrina Clarke, Anthony Donofrio, Joseph
Eidson, Paul Gelsing, Fermino Gomes, Kevin Holland, Jason F. Rinehart, Jana
Skarecky, Jose Jesus de Azevedo Souza, Thommy Wahlstrom, Andrew Walters, and
Christopher M. Wicks.

Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame: Titania (Queen of the Fairies) will begin the fall
season with a world premiere of the works on Sunday, September 15, 2013 1:00
pm at Jan Hus Presbyterian Church in New York City.

Crawford and Ashe are traveling to New York to perform the world premiere
this Fifteen Minutes of Fame: Titania (Queen of the Fairies).

Katherine Crawford sings with the Grammy Award-winning Kansas City Chorale,
the Kansas City Symphony Chorus, and is the lead vocalist in The Digital
Honk Box Revival, an improvisational electroacoustic music group.

Flutist Rebecca Ashe was the first American flautist to perform a recital at
the Academy of Music in Latvia. She is a founding member of Dark Matter, a
collective of composers, performers and scientists.
