Beulah Pavarotti

 Beulah Pavarotti
<http://www.NM421.com/issue/postcard/14-11-21-Beulah_Pavarotti.jpg> 

The biggest voice in the Pavarotti house on the outskirts of Modena, Italy,
in the early 1940s did not belong to little Luciano but rather to his
sister, Beulah. It was she who could shatter glass with her high Gs and make
all of the neighborhood dogs and ducks howl in confusion, not Luke. It was
Beulah whose temper tantrum-instigated vocal outburst on June 20, 1943,
caused the Adapazari-Hendek earthquake. And the handkerchief that her bro
traditionally clutched during his solo recitals? Luciano originally used it
to shield his ears from the 110-dB ululations little sis regularly belted
out, and the great tenor simply decided to always keep it handy. So what
happened to Beulah Pavarotti? Ahh, it is a tale of intrigue and bizarre
convolutions that must, due to space limitations today, be left for another
time.

around the globe to present the wealth of electroacoustic music being
written today. 

New Nodes is a specially curated program that presents a cross section of
electroacoustic being made today. Circuit Bridges is building a network of
electroacoustic artists and communities. We're using New Nodes to establish
new connections that will enable future collaboration, sharing, and growth.
A healthy network of electroacoustic communities allows this music to
thrive.

 Fifteen-Minutes of Fame
<http://www.voxnovus.com/img/Fifteen_Minutes_of_Fame_logo_new.jpg> 

Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with 
Katarzyna Bryla, violin & Hui-Chuan Chen, Piano 


Sunday, November 23, 2014 


The music composed for Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with Aurae is inspired by the
Belle  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_%C3%89poque> Epoque period. 


The Belle Epoque was a period in French and Belgian history that is
conventionally dated as starting in 1871 and ending when World War I began
in 1914. Occurring during the era of the Third French Republic (beginning
1870), it was a period characterized by optimism, peace at home and in
Europe, new technology and scientific discoveries. The peace and prosperity
in Paris allowed the arts to flourish, and many masterpieces of literature,
music, theater, and visual art gained recognition. The Belle Epoque was
named, in retrospect, when it began to be considered a "golden age" in
contrast to the horrors of World War I. In the newly rich United States,
emerging from the Panic of 1873, the comparable epoch was dubbed the Gilded
Age. In the United Kingdom, the Belle Epoque overlapped with the late
Victorian era and the Edwardian era. In Germany, the Belle Epoque coincided
with the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II and in Russia with the reigns of
Alexander III and Nicholas II.

2014 AGBU Sayat Nova International
Composition Competition 

 <http://sayatnova2014eng.agbueurope.org/dev/index.php>  

AGBU is deploying efforts to attract the interest of young composers to
classical music and the traditional Armenian repertoire. If the encounter
between classical musicians, of written tradition, and traditional
musicians, of oral tradition, is sometimes difficult, it is all the more
richer. Together they create the musical heritage of tomorrow. 

Hence, the idea of the Sayat Nova composition competition is born, combining
modernism, tradition and Armenian inspiration. It aims to discover talented
young composers, help them financially, record their works, and diffuse
them. 

When it was first introduced in 2006, the Sayat Nova Composition Competition
proved to be a laboratory of creativity. Amidst festivities for AGBU's
centennial, a panel of expert judges reviewed an impressive range of
submissions. On December 9, 2006, it ultimately granted Artur Akshelyan with
the first prize. That night, Akshelyan's piece was brought to life by the
Armenian Diaspora Chamber Orchestra through a memorable performance in the
Salon Opera at the Intercontinental Hotel in Paris. 

The 2012 AGBU Sayat Nova International Composition Competition was a great
success as evidenced by the 22 candidates participating from around the
world. Two young composers were distinguished: Tomas Berreiro, Mexican, was
granted the 2nd Prize for his work The Death of the Nightingale and Ernest
Dulgaryan, Armenian, the 3rd prize for Whispers. In addition to the Sayat
Nova competition prize, Tomas Barreiro was awarded the Special Prize
"Carnegie Hall" by the jury. As such, his composition was interpreted during
the AGBU - NYSEC Annual Concert in December 2013 in the prestigious New York
concert hall. 

Contest participation conditions: 

The 2014 Sayat Nova competition candidates will have to compose for a
chamber ensemble consisting of 3 (three) instrumentalists (piano, cello and
duduk) and a woman's voice, mezzo- soprano register (spoken or sung). 

The duration of the piece must be within 7-10 minutes. 

The piece must include one quotation, in any form, from a text of Daniel
Varoujan in Armenian or translated into a Western language (i.e. English,
German, French, Italian, Spanish or Russian). 

The deadline for submission of works is no later than 28 November 2014.

60x60
11th Annual
Call for Works 

 <http://www.60x60.com/calls/>  

60x60 11th Annual International Mix 

60x60 is calling for works for its 11th performance season! 

Vox Novus is inviting composers/sound artists to submit recorded works 60
seconds or less in length to be included in its 11th annual 60x60 project.
60 compositions will be selected to be played continuously in a one-hour
concert. 

60x60 is a one-hour-long show made by sequencing 60 pre-recorded pieces by
60 different composers, each piece a minute in length or shorter.
Highlighting the work of a great many composers, 60x60 testifies to the
vibrancy of contemporary composition by present a diverse array of styles,
aesthetics, and techniques being used today. 

60x60 mixes have received more than 350 performances in more than 30
countries including venues such as the Winter Garden Atrium at the World
Financial Center, Stratford Circus for Opening Day Festival for the 2012
London Olympics, and Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. 60x60
collaborates with multimedia including dance, video, art, and sculpture.
60x60 Dance was described by the New York Times as "...60 new pieces of
music, each lasting no more than 60 seconds - is quite mad. But it's this
kind of madness that makes the cultural world go round..." 

During the concert each of the 60 pieces selected will begin precisely at
the beginning of the minute, this will mark the end of one piece and the
beginning of another. There will be no pause between the pieces. Works may
be less than 60 seconds in length, but may not exceed 60 seconds. Works
selected that are less than 60 seconds long will be "padded" with silence
either before, after, or surrounding the composition. Please note that the
total duration of the work including silence may NOT exceed sixty seconds. 

The 60x60 project's definition of a record work is as follows: any work
created as a musical composition which is captured on recorded media, which
does not require live performers for its production in broadcast at concert
halls, radio, multi-media, etc. Its creation can include but not limited to
acoustic instruments, voice, environmental sources, and computer (Sampling,
MAX MSP, MIDI, C Sound, ProTools, etc.) 

All works submitted should be with the understanding that it is their
recording that is of prime importance and is what will be used to determine
its selection. 

60x60 is a project of "signature works" and short works created specifically
for the 60x60 project. Excerpts of larger works are strongly discouraged.
Works generated from procedures (i.e. mathematical matrices, organizational
systems, or computer programs,) remixed works, or themes and motives
recomposed from other of the composer's own work are acceptable. 

In addition to the 60x60 International Mix, Vox Novus is planning to create
several alternate mixes to the 11th call for works. Planned themed mixes
include the Wave Farm Mix, BPM Mix, Death Mix, Latin Mix, and more. All
works submitted to alternate mixes will be considered for the 60x60
International Mix. (Works need to be submitted to the various alternate
mixes directly to be considered for the mix concerned.) 

The call is open to composers of any nationality, age, or career stage. 

Deadline for 60 second compositions for 60x60 is November 30th, 2014. 

There is no admission fee. 

Audio submissions must be in either AIFF or WAV file format. 

Multiple submissions are accepted from a single composer/sound artist. 

All submissions must be uploaded online at: www.MusicAvatar.org DO NOT EMAIL
AUDIO FILES! 

All submissions must be uploaded by November 30th, 2014 - 12:00 Midnight
(local time) 

Works selected for the 11th Annual 60x60 project will be announced on the
Vox Novus newsletter NM421: http://www.NM421.com
