David Garner Garner Bach Telemann Handel 2021 2022
David Garner - Suite for Bass Clarinet and Piano - World Premiere "I have long wanted to write a “modern” dance suite analogous to the Baroque dance suites of Bach, Telemann, Handel and others. These suites were not really meant to be danced to, but rather used the dance-form as a “jumping-off place” to explore the rhythm and affect of the dances. They incorporated the musical language of the times. I first worked with Jerome Simas in connection to the premiere and recording of my “Trio for Five Instruments”, which bassist Stephen Tramontozzi commissioned. When Mr. Simas subsequently approached me to write him a bass clarinet piece, a dance suite was the very first thing that came to mind. The bass clarinet is an amazingly versatile and agile instrument--indispensable in large orchestral writing. There are many fine pieces written for it in the concert music realm, as in the works by Marc Eychenne and Jon Russell. The dances of the 20th and 21st centuries are influenced by “popular” music, but do not retain the direct lineage to indigenous folk music that the Baroque dances have. Instead, “modern” dances seem to be the children of the blues, jazz, and rock and roll. I chose to explore 5 “modern” dances: the Charleston, the Stroll, Lindy-Hop, Doo Wap and Funk. As with earlier suites, these dances are not meant to be danced to, but rather explore the affect and idiom of each. I am extremely grateful to Jerry and Eric for their hard work and artistry in bringing this suite to life. It is also important to acknowledge the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, without whose support this work would not have been possible." —David Garner (April, 2022) Musicians: Jerome Simas, Bass Clarinet Eric Zivian, Piano Program: Clarinet Party, 29th Season +••.••(...)) www.leftcoastensemble.org
First Piano Quartet Shostakovich Virgil Thomson Garner 1941 1947 1948 1952
Shostakovich: Polka (from "The Golden Age", Op. 22) Virgil Thomson: Ragtime Bass (No. 10 of "Ten Etudes") (at 2:12) The First Piano Quartet Recorded in December, 1947, probably in New York City, and first issued in December, 1948, as Side 6 of RCA Victor set M-1263 (records 12-0588 through 12-0590), a set of "Encores" by the First Piano Quartet, which was reissued the following year as a 45-rpm set, WMO-1263 (records 49-0177 through 49-0179); this is my source. There does not appear to have been an LP reissue of this set. The other sides of this set I have uploaded separately. The First Piano Quartet, who enjoyed great popularity during the 1940s and into the early 1950s, was founded in 1941 as a radio broadcast ensemble. The group made their own collective arrangements for four pianos of popular classics. Its original members were Vladimir Padwa, Frank Mittler, Adam Garner and Edwin Edson, but these gentlemen's names never appeared on record labels - though they were listed on the jacket of the ensemble's last LP for RCA Victor ("FPQ On the Air", LM-1227, of 1952), and by that time Padwa had been replaced by Glauco D'Attili.
Chopin Garner Paganini First Piano Quartet 1941 1947 1948 1972
Chopin: Three Etudes from Op. 25 The First Piano Quartet (Vladimir Padwa, Frank Mittler, Adam Garner, Edward Edson) Recorded c. 1947 for RCA Victor, and first issued in July, 1947, as Record No. 46-0010-B. In 1948 the record was reissued in the Red Seal series as Record No. 12-0250-B. In both cases the reverse side was the Variations on a Theme by Paganini, which I have uploaded separately. The three Chopin Etudes are as follows: (0:07) No. 9 in G-Flat (Butterfly) (1:01) No. 1 in A-Flat (Aeolian Harp) (3:20) No. 6 in G-Sharp minor (Thirds) The First Piano Quartet was a very popular ensemble in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It was founded in 1941 for the purpose of giving radio broadcasts, and remained in existence until 1972. The arrangements of popular classics for four pianos were made by the members themselves.
Johann Sebastian Bach Garner 1685 1701 1721 1723 1750 1760 1941 1974 1975 1979 2005 2006
Lennart Axelsson (1941) is a Swedish trumpet player who has spent a good part of his career in Germany. Born and raised in Sweden, he began his career in a Swedish armed forces band. Disillusioned with military life, he quit to become a full-time musician, playing with various jazz bands in Sweden. In the early 1970s, he moved to Zürich, Switzerland to take a job in the big band of Swiss radio station Schweizer Radio DRS. In 1974, he joined the James Last Orchestra. He was one of the featured trumpet soloists on Last's 1975 album 'In The Mood For Trumpets', along with Rick Kiefer and Ack van Rooyen; this was notable as Last's record company Polydor usually did not credit the individual personnel on Last's studio recordings. In 1979, Axelsson left the Last band and joined the NDR (Norddeutscher Rundfunk, or North German Radio) big band, where he eventually became the featured trumpet soloist. He retired from the NDR band in 2005. He plays the 'Minuet in G', BWV 114, from the 'Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach'. Johann Sebastian Bach +••.••(...)) was a German composer, virtuoso organist, harpsichordist, music teacher, conductor and choirmaster of the late Baroque period. He is considered one of the greatest composers of all time. Anna Magdalena Bach +••.••(...)) was a professional singer and the second wife of Johann Sebastian Bach. He wrote two manuscript notebooks for her, which were published as one, the 'Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach'. Keyboard music (minuets, rondeaux, polonaises, chorales, sonatas, preludes, musettes, marches, gavottes) makes up most of the notebook, and a few pieces for voice (songs and arias) are included. The Notebook provides a glimpse into the domestic music of the 18th century and the musical tastes of the Bach family. Life must have been difficult for Anna Magdalena. When she entered the Bach household, she gave birth almost every year for 13 years. Seven of her offsprings did not survive, but her surviving children included their celebrated son, Johann Christian, who was described as 'the apple of Bach's eye and his favorite pupil'. Moreover, the Bach house was a musical hub in Leipzig at the time, and many guests frequented the house. Not only did the lady of the house prepare to take care of her guests' wellbeing during their visits, she also organized numerous musical evenings for the family and visitors. As a professional singer in the Cöthen Court Chapel between 1721 and 1723, performing alongside her husband, she helped garner almost half of the household annual income, earning 200 thalers at first, which was then increased to 300 thalers subsequently, granted by the Prince. Her role in Johann Sebastian's life also involved being his copyist, preparing fair copies of most of his vast musical work. With views of Leipzig, Germany. Recorded in the album 'Trompeten-Träume (Trumpet Dreams) - The Golden Trumpet' (2006).
