Andrea Segovia
Andrea Segovia
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/14-07-18-Andrea_Segovia.jpg>
Andrea Segovia was a child prodigy. She taught herself to play the guitar at
the age of two and had mastered the instrument before she was eight.
However, in unenlightened Spain at the turn of the twentieth century, there
was no call for wunderkind girl guitarists. So she did what so many other
talented female artists of the day did - she traded her skirt for a pair of
trousers, cut and pomaded her hair, and assumed a more masculine name:
Meptang. But when she learned the name was a Basque word meaning "tone-deaf
shepherd ugly as goiter," she promptly changed it to Andres. The rest is
six-string history.

MaD Circle
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-07-11-MaD_Circle_poster.jpg>
MaD Circle
Last Sunday's Composer's Voice concert combined new dances with new music to
create a unique project for the series. The concert, entitled "MaD Circle",
sought to rethink the classic forms of the waltz and tango.
For this concert, curators Erin Bomboy and Callie Hatchett called for
choreographers to create new works set to original music written for the
project. Each selected choreographer was given a piece of music, based on
either the waltz or tango form, and assigned to revitalize the form of
classic dance "for a new generation through fresh choreographic ideas and
rejuvenated music structures". The goal was to combine the worlds of
commercial dance and concert dance to create something innovative yet rooted
in classic forms. The result of the project was a variety of unique takes on
innovating upon classical forms that both engaged and entertained the
audience.
Allison Schieler, Caroline Dietz, Leslie Saint-Jour, and LA Kilpatrick
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-07-18_Callie_Hatchett.jpg>
One of the highlights of the performance was Zyngare, choreographed by
Callie Hatchett and performed by Caroline Deitz, LA Kilpatrick, Allison
Schieler, and Leslie St. Jour. Set to Gary Allne Edwards' "The Gypsy Tango",
Hatchett's choreography perfectly embraced the idea of new concert dance
building upon the classic form of the tango. While not overtly tango-like,
her choreography used elements that the audience would recognize as coming
from the tango in a subtle way, perhaps aided by Edwards' rather
straightforward tango music. The result was a freer or looser form of the
classic tango.
Maxx Passion <http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-07-18-Maxx_Passion.jpg>
Maxx Passion's performance of her I know, follow the leader, set to music by
Petri Kuljuntausta, was a strong statement on the role of women in the
classical form of the waltz. Passion began by dancing around a pair of black
heels, nearly slipping her feet into the shoes yet consistently resisting.
To this she added "I thought I would be the leader", which she spoke
directly at the audience in an earnest tone, seeming to express some inner
desire to lead rather than be led. Eventually she succumbed, donning the
heels and, partially, a golden gown and danced in a more traditional manner
that looked like she was, in fact, being led by an unseen leader (presumably
a man). Passion's piece, which was beautifully danced, had a clear message
which directly related to the theme of the project in a unique way.
Special mention should be made of Carson Reiners' performance of her piece
Stuck. She danced through her entire piece even though the music never
started playing without giving a hint to the audience that something was
wrong. Oddly enough, the performance, in which Reiners frequently made
silent gasping motions, seemed to work even without music and left me
wondering if perhaps the lack of sound was intentional.

<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-07-18_Jennifer_Roit_performed_by_Ray_K
eller_and_Jennifer_Roit.jpg>
The concert concluded with Jennifer Roit and Ray Keller's performance of
Roit's TRUSTissues, set Larry Matthew Gaab's "Dreaming Tangos". Gaab's eerie
and fluid music, itself an interesting take on the traditional tango, was
effectively matched to Roit's graceful choreography.
After the performance, the dancers, choreographers, and composers gathered
at The Pony Bar for drinks, a Composer's Voice tradition, to discuss the
effectiveness of the performance and enjoy each other's company.
The July 13th concert was the first of two for the MaD Circle Dance project.
The second concert will take place at 1:00 pm on Sunday, August 10th at Jan
Hus Church in New York City and will feature a new set of composers,
choreographers, and dancers.

Fifteen Minutes of Fame
<http://www.voxnovus.com/img/Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame_logo-250.jpg>
Is it worth it to compose a work one minute in length?
As much as we all have issues with Facebook, it can be amazing - I posted
about "Peregrination," a one-minute piece for bassoon, clarinet, euphonium,
saxophone or tuba. In two hours, the wonderful Suzanne Mueller, cellist,
commented asking why there was no version for cello. I made an adaptation
for cello for her, and then I also adapted "Chesapeake Gambol," a one-minute
piece originally written for tuba, for her, and KAZAAAAMMMM!!! Suzanne is
now planning to premiere both pieces on her July 27 concert at Old Westbury
Gardens!!. Thank you, Suzanne!! And thank you to Douglas DaSilva and Rob
Voisey whose 15 Minutes of Fame program prompted me to write these two
one-minute pieces, even if they were "not selected" for performance on the
15 Minutes of Fame program.
NOTE: The tuba piece, Chesapeake Gambol, was premiered by Ben Vokits on June
27 on the Soofser#5 program.

composition, mash-up, and data sonification. It's mission is to connect with
similar organizations from around the globe that foster and promote
innovative electroacoustic music and sound. Concerts feature local composers
and sound artists and those from visiting communities and immerse audiences
in the vast wealth of electroacoustic music being created today. Concerts
are held on a Thursday once a month at Gallery MC in New York City.

Gressel, Antonio D'Amato, Ken Paoli, Robert Voisey, Angelo Bello, Joshua
Marquez, Michael James Olson, Brian Schorn, Milica Paranosic, John Oliver,
