La Selva Selvaggia:
From Diminution to the Stylus Phantasticus

The new Italian styles of instrumental music that crossed the Alps in the early Baroque–deemed to be improvisatory, wild, bizarre–were identified as the ‘stylus phantasticus’ (the fantastic style) by German theorists.

At the same time, these “new” styles were largely grounded in older practices: namely the improvisation of diminutions (a form of florid ornamentation). This program explores the fertile ground in which these seeds of Renaissance improvisation grew into the early Baroque sonata and toccata.

Enjoy music by Palestrina, Arcadelt, Kapsberger, Riccio, Rognoni, Frescobaldi, Castello, and others!

Tickets: $50/$35/$25/20

Bach Collegium San Diego: ASSIMILATION+TRANSFORMATION

ASSIMILATION+TRANSFORMATION: Bach and Pergolesi

Late in his career in the 1740s, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) turned his attention to the music of a much younger Italian contemporary, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736), reconstructing the latter’s already famous Stabat mater of 1736, by changing its Latin text to a new German one ("Tilge, Höchster, meine Sünden" or "Cancel, Highest, my sins") and subtly expanding the orchestration, yet keeping all the essential materials of the original composition. Bach thereby transformed the original into something very unique: a co-authored hybrid that shines a fascinating light on the musical language of both composers.

Bach-Pergolesi, Tilge, Höchster, meine Sünden BWV 1083 (c.1745)

LA Master Chorale & Bang on a Can All-Stars: before and after nature

LA Master Chorale & Bang on a Can All-Stars: before and after nature

  • Bing Concert Hall - Stanford University (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Words and Music by David Lang
Video and Projections by Tal Rosner
Performed by the Bang on a Can All-Stars and the Los Angeles Master Chorale

When Stanford alumnus David Lang set out to write a new composition for the Bang on a Can (BOAC) All-Stars, the electrifying music ensemble he co-founded, he looked to his alma mater for inspiration.  Commissioned by Stanford Live specifically to bring Lang and the BOAC All-Stars back to campus, before and after nature is a meditation on the natural world, both before human existence and after humans are gone.

Lang met closely with scholars, faculty and students in Stanford's Doerr School of Sustainability, and with the Doerr-affiliated Environmental Justice Working Group.  He combined what he learned with his own readings from the past 50 years of environmental thinking, writing his own texts that explore the different ways we define and understand nature, now that it has been forever changed by our behavior.  He set these texts for voices and the BOAC All-Stars and he enlisted video pioneer Tal Rosner to invent a way to visualize the meanings of the music in video and projection.  The result is an immersive spectacle of sound and vision, both heartbreaking and miraculous, full of beauty, wonder and awe.

Lang is a renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, the recipient of a Grammy Award and an Oscar nomination, with an extensive body of work, including several pieces co-commissioned and presented by Stanford Live, including the little match girl passion (2007), death speaks (2012), and sun-centered (2022).  His most recent work includes large scale choral compositions the writings (2019) and poor hymnal (2023), and the operas prisoner of the state(2019) and note to a friend (2023).

How do we live in unity with each other and with nature? Esmail’s This Love Between Us examines our shared humanity by juxtaposing texts of seven major religions of the Indian subcontinent, set with a unique combination of Hindustani and Western classical styles, bringing together chorus, Baroque orchestra, tabla, and sitar. Philip Glass’ propulsive Itaipú, based on the Creation myth of the Guarani peoples, paints an epic and unforgettable symphonic portrait of nature for chorus and orchestra.

Long-time Mahler champion Zubin Mehta describes the Third—a piece close to his heart—as containing all of nature (“you can smell the Alpine flowers”), complete with nature’s contradictions of endearing beauty and stark brutality. Mehta stirs the vocal and instrumental ensembles into expressions of summer bursting forth, followed by profound communications from the flowers, the forest animals, humankind, and the angels, all capped by a monumental movement conveying Love itself.

LA Philharmonic - Mahler 3 with Zubin Mehta

One of Mahler’s most massive creations, his Third Symphony vies to express the whole world, as the composer expected all symphonies to do. Long-time Mahler champion Zubin Mehta describes the Third—a piece close to his heart—as containing all of nature (“you can smell the Alpine flowers”), complete with nature’s contradictions of endearing beauty and stark brutality. Mehta stirs the vocal and instrumental ensembles into expressions of summer bursting forth, followed by profound communications from the flowers, the forest animals, humankind, and the angels, all capped by a monumental movement conveying Love itself.

LA Philharmonic - Rachmaninoff Concerto 3, The Bells

“All my life, I have taken pleasure in the differing moods and music of gladly chiming and mournfully tolling bells,” Rachmaninoff said. The Bells was inspired in large part by the poem of the same name by Edgar Allen Poe. Each movement evokes a different flavor of bells connected to life stages and the passing of time—from sleigh bells to wedding chimes to a mournful funereal peal. Dudamel leads the LA Phil and the Los Angeles Master Chorale in this gorgeous and haunting choral symphony.
