Nadia Boulanger - did any of you study with her? I'm listening to an album

[Rabrrrrrr]

of music by Monteverdi performed by her and the "Nadia Boulanger" ensemble.

I know some of the famous greats studied with her: Philip Glass, Joe Raposo, Copland, Elliot Carter, David Diamond, Walter Piston, and so on. Did you?

I think that, beyond that one opera of Monteverdi's, this is the only other Monteverdi music I've ever heard - hautningly and enchantingly beautiful.

It's mostly songs for one or just a few voices, and piano with other instrumentation in a small way.

1. I never studied with her, but a number of my profs did

I love Monteverdi's madrigals...Enjoy! :toast:

It was Nadia this, Nadia that..she had an enormous impact on each of them, I'd say.

Which conservatory did you attend?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Just before it merged with Hopkins, back in the Pleistocene epoch. :D

How about you?

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. Baltimore.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. Are you a musician, Swag?

Or are you familiar with Baltimore? I love the city. There's so much to see and do!

[swag]

14. I'm not a serious musician, but I love Baltimore. Used to live in DC.

Stayed at an old hotel (can't remember its name) near Peabody last time I went to Baltimore for the incredible party at the American Visionary Arts Museum.

9. Juilliard...

Freshman on Claremont. Sophomore year, Group 1 of the Drama Division joined us down at Lincoln Center.

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. You went to Juilliard while it was still at 122nd and Broadway?

Cool!

Did you use any of the music rooms at Union Seminary?

[Karenina]

15. Wasn't necessary for me.

But I did lots of overnights at Columbia. ;-)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. It's a great school...

I know a very talented young violinist who's working on her master's degree there...
What was your major?
:hi:

[Karenina]

16. I graduated as a bassoonist

started playing oboe in my senior year.

2. Joe Raposo?!? You mean like Sesame Street Joe Raposo?

Then why does everything he wrote for general music textbooks sound exactly the same?

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Yes, that Joe Raposo.

And I have no idea as to the answer to the second question.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. I've had a Martini, so it's time to bring back some art to the Lounge.

:hi:
