Conservatory students of the Curtis Institute of Music (Philadelphia) performed a concert on March 15, 2010 celebrating the centenary of American composer Samuel Barber's birth, at the Library of Congress's Coolidge Auditorium. I captured the concert with a modest one-camera setup. The performers of this work are:
Sarah Shafer, soprano
Mikael Eliasen (faculty), piano
"Hermit Songs" is based on ten anonymous poems by Irish monks and scholars from the 8th to 13th Centuries. A particularly meaningful detail, in relation to this performance, is that its world premiere was from the very same stage of the Coolidge Auditorium (on commission from Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge). On that historic occasion, October 30, 1953, Leontyne Price sang these songs accompanied by the composer himself, Samuel Barber.
1. At Saint Patrick's Purgatory
2. Church Bell at Night
3. St. Ita's Vision
4. The Heavenly Banquet
5. The Crucifixion
6. Sea-Snatch
7. Promiscuity
8. The Monk and His Cat: Pangur, White Pangur

"Dover Beach" (1867) is a Victorian poem by Matthew Arnold that the composer set in its entirety to music, as you will hear here. The text:
The sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; —on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanch'd land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles…

On May 1, 2009, I had the privilege of intimately filming a concert of the Klavier Trio Amsterdam during their tour of Washington, D.C. The concert was a production of The Southwest Chamber Players and David Ehrlich/artistic director. The performance was at Saint Augustine's Episcopal Church in southwest Washington.
I filmed the performance using two HD cameras, however the B-roll was poorly placed and thus those cutaway shots contain poor lighting conditions/high grain. Overall the lighting was unconventional but rather atmospheric all the same. Audio for most performances came through two cardioid condenser boom microphones direct into the camera, however for this piece (technical difficulty) the camera's built-in microphones were the (unfortunate) pickup.
This virtuosic performance of J.S. Bach's Partita #1 in B-flat was one among the five works on the program ranging from Beethoven to Dvorak to Ravel to Brahms.
Combining music, photography and story-telling, The Galileo Project brings to life the brilliant minds of the early astronomers and the music that inspired them, as a large-scale, ever-changing backdrop of stars and planets unfolds.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
