Barclay/Licence Arion - with the voice of Arlette Thomas
French poetry from the 14th to the middle 20th century played with the Lary/Baschet sonore structures. Absolutely beautiful.
The Lasry/Baschet "structures sonores" are cristal sculptures with a sound absolutely unique and great.
The purpose of this essay is to examine the aesthetic behind Cage's "silent" composition, 4'33", to trace its history, and to show that it marked a significant change in John Cage's musical thought -- specifically how it forms a point-of-no-return from the conventional communicative, self-expressive and intentional purpose of music to a radical new aesthetic that informs the field of unintentional sound, interpenetration, chance, and indeterminacy. The compositional process is described, both the writing of 4'33" and its evolution from past thought. Implications for performance are examined.

Encompassing the vast rhythmic heritage of Africa, "Weston has the biggest sound of any jazz pianist since Ellington and Monk, as well as the richest most inventive beat," states jazz critic Stanley Crouch, "but his art is more than projection and time; it's the result of a studious and inspired intelligence...an intelligence that is creating a fresh synthesis of African elements with jazz technique."
The Roma's signifiers are still source of both reverence and derision in the West. While their cultural product, from the great Django Reinhardt to the pop chart-ready sound of the Gipsy Kings, has been happily consumed, as a people they have been held at arm's length by a Europe still fixating typecasts of the thief and the mystic. Today, the Roma remain one of the most persecuted communities in Europe.
These twelve selected Piyutim are the gems of Hebrew poetry. All are chanted and sung. Some are accompanied by tambourine, oud, and percussive sounds. Most are sung "a cappela," without instrumentation.
kamancheh, kamencheh, kamānche, kamāncha or qyamancha (Persian: کمانچه ), a Persian bowed stringed instrument related to the bowed rebab, historical ancestor of the kamancheh...The Turkish and Armenian kemenche or kemençe is a bowed string instrument with a very similar or identical name -- but it differs significantly in structure and sound from the Persian kamancheh.
The quijada (jawbone of a donkey or burro) is a great "guiro-type" percussion instrument. It's a rather large jawbone, fully-toothed. The variety of sounds a Quijada player can get is pretty thrilling (to me, anyway).
