Manigold: Proposta di spettacolo natalizio - Italiaby Diatonic News |
"Incanto di Natale" La tradizione dei canti natalizi nel Centro Sud Italia è ricca e suggestiva. La religiosità genuina del popolo e le composizioni di musica sacra si incrociano nelle ninne nanne dedicate alla Natività, nei canti di Natale, nelle nenie e nei canti per la Vergine, che insieme costituiscono un repertorio ampio e vario. Per tutte le terre del Sud a Natale, intere compagnie di musici con tamburelli, organetti, sonagliere e cupa cupa, viaggiavano di casa in casa, di masseria in masseria, a portare a tutti la buona nuova della nascita di Cristo fino all'Epifania. I canti natalizi sono le strine, antichissimi canti pagani propiziatori che sono sopravissuti nella memoria popolare, e che raccontano la nascita di Cristo con melodie popolari che si perdono nel tempo. L’organetto e la voce di Claudio Prima (leader di BandAdriatica e Progetto Seme), la voce Alessia Tondo (voce del Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino) affiancati da Gianni Gelao (zampogna, ciaramella, flauti) e Vito De Lorenzi (percussioni) si confrontano oggi con il repertorio dei canti tradizionali di Natale ricreando le atmosfere delle compagnie di questua in un concerto dal forte carattere evocativo. Con l’ausilio dei soli strumenti tradizionali (zampogna, ciaramella, organetto, tamburelli, violino dei poveri, flauti) utilizzati un tempo, i canti e le musiche di natale ricreano gli spazi della festa del popolo, i suoni che hanno accompagnato la sacralità e la scansione del tempo di ogni celebrazione tradizionale. Musicisti di lunga esperienza avvicinano le proprie sensibilità al repertorio dei canti di Natale del Centro Sud Italia, dandogli una luce nuova ma rispettosa e rievocando i timbri e le parole della nostra memoria collettiva. Disponibilità: Dicembre 2021 - Gennaio 2022 Formazione: Claudio Prima Organetto, voce Alessia Tondo Voce Gianni Gelao Zampogna, ciaramella, flauti Vito De Lorenzi Tamburelli, percussioni Info e contatti: Claudio Prima +39 347 5468393 www.claudioprima.it claudioprima12@gmail.com |

Centenaire de la naissance d’Astor Piazzolla - Avignon/FRby Diatonic News |
PIAZZOLLA Antès y después Samedi 4 décembre à 20h00 Théâtre du Balcon / Compagnie Serge Barbuscia / Scène d’Avignon Bandonéon : Yvonne Hahn Piano : Cédalis Collin Violon : Yardani Torres Maiani Contrebasse : Eric Chalan Vibraphone : Rachel Faucon Photo © DR Yvonne Hahn, professeur au Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional du Grand Avignon, propose un quintette piano, violon, contrebasse, vibraphone et bien sur bandonéon autour, entre autre, de l’oeuvre d’Astor Piazzolla. « Comme en peinture on parle d’un avant et d’un après Picasso, il y a dans le tango un avant et un après Piazzolla ». 5 musiciens se réunissent pour faire revivre ce personnage à la fois trivial et génial, opportuniste et provocant. Ils exploreront ses influences et son héritage, mettant ainsi en relief cette figure incontournable de l’histoire du tango. Astor Piazzolla, né en 1921 à Buenos Aires et mort en 1992 est un compositeur et bandonéoniste argentin, considéré comme l’un des plus important pour la musique Tango de la seconde moitié du XXè siècle. Il vivra un temps à Paris où il suivra l’enseignement de Nadia Boulanger. C’est lors de cette période qu’il affirma un style qui se base sur les musiques populaires pour les enrichir d’un langage plus contemporain et subtile. Par la suite, il retrouvera Buenos Aires ou il formera le Quinteto de Tango Nuevo, c’est là qu’il s’affirmera par son écriture et son style. |

Hector Del Curto Premieres His New Composition “Trace of Time”by Rita Davidson Barnea |
Video: Premiere of "Trace of Time" by Hector Del Curto with the Apollo Chamber Players streamed live on November 20, 2021. The Apollo Chamber Players share, “Welcome to Piazzolla Centennial! What makes a truly great teacher, one that inspires students so fully that it changes the course of their lives? Tonight we explore this compelling question as we celebrate a hundred years of Argentinian tango master Astor Piazzolla, the eightieth birthday of renowned composer Adolphus Hailstork, and the arresting genius (and fiftieth birthday) of bandoneonist and composer Hector Del Curto.” Program Notes by Hector Del Curto: “Trace of Time” is a single movement piece which cycles through some of the most culturally relevant rhythms from the Rio de La Plata: the tango, the milonga and the waltz. It also follows traces le by the composers and musicians I greatly admire, such as Osvaldo Pugliese, Astor Piazzolla, and the former pianist of the latter, Pablo Ziegler with whom I have been sharing the road of music for the past 30 years. “Trace of Time” was commissioned by Apollo Chamber Players in 2021 during the pandemic which for many people including myself, seemed to have stopped time on March 12, 2020. This piece perhaps will serve me as a trace to find myself in the future when recollecting this challenging time for human history. |
Joe Hall's New CD “Proud to Be a Creole” - USAby Diatonic News |
Joe Hall & The Cane Cutters play Cajun, Zydeco, and Creole music from Southwest Louisiana. Joe Hall & The Cane Cutters perform Grand Prairie Blues on the main stage at the Wheatland Music Festival in Remus Michigan on Sept 7, 2018. ”The Hall family was blessed with a hard-working father figure who provided in every way for his family of six out there on the southwest Louisiana prairies. Even though Joe never had to work in the fields like most of the Creole share croppers since the days of the Civil War, his is an old soul. During his formative years, young Joe did not pick sweet potatoes or break corn but instead he lent an attentive ear to the many kernels of ancient wisdom from his elders. They recognized him as the “anointed one ” and willingly, Joe Hall accepted the torch of the Creole cultural flame.” Joe Hall & The Cane Cutters play Cajun, Zydeco, and Creole music from Southwest Louisiana. As a third generation Creole artist who learned at the knee of his grandfather, “King” Ned. Joe Hall is very devoted to preserving his heritage . At the age of 7 years, Hall made regular visits to elder statesmen of Creole music, such as “Bois Sec” Ardoin, Canray Fontenot, Calvin Carriere and Carlton Frank to learn tunes first hand and develop his own style. Through his grandfather, Joe Hall inherited a love for the accordion, playing his grandpa’s accordion whenever he was away. By the time Ned discovered that Hall had been tinkering with his instrument, the grandson had become surprisingly proficient. From there, Hall paid regular visits to the elder statesmen of Creole music, such as “Bois Sec” Ardoin, Canray Fontenot, Carlton Frank and Calvin Carrière, to learn and play tunes. Surprised to see such a young person with a rabid interest, Carlton Frank invited his brother Paul to meet Hall. "If you stay the way you are and don’t let nobody change you, ’then one day the world is going to know about you." |
