Cultural Conversations represents a new concept to tie together our many efforts to engage the community in all things artistic with a goal to inspire greater participation in and a passion for the arts in our community. Through our Cultural Conversations, we intend to provide interesting and evocative dialogue designed around P.L.A.C.E. (people, land, arts, culture and engagement). In this segment, Janeen Mason talks with Maestro Stewart Robertson. Grammy nominated Maestro Robertson is currently in his 10th season as Artistic Director and Conductor of the Atlantic Classical Orchestra. A native of Glasgow, Scotland, Robertson is a graduate of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music. He has become particularly associated with the music of Mozart, Beethoven, and Benjamin Britten and he has conducted over 100 orchestral and operatic world premieres. He has held conducting posts with the New York City Opera, the Lyric Opera of Chicago and the Operas of Montreal, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Dusseldorf; the Norwegian National Opera, the Deutsche Opera am Rein, and Opera Ireland. He served as Artistic Director of Opera Omaha and Music Director of the Florida Grand Opera and for over two decades as the Music Director of the Glimmerglass Opera.

"Jubilate Deo in C" by Benjamin Britten [1913-1976] In 1934 Britten composed his first canticle setting, Te Deum in C, and followed that quickly with a companion piece, Jubilate Deo in E flat major. It was not published until after the composer’s death. In 1961, however, he composed a new companion piece: the Jubilate Deo in C. In the words of Paul Spicer [Conductor of the Leicester Bach Choir from 1986-1992, a choir which was founded by Gordon Slater at Leicester Cathedral]: “With its lively and spirited organ accompaniment and its simple and direct vocal phrases it positively bubbles with the joyful mood of the words” (Britten Choral Guide). The Jubilate Deo, written for St George’s, Windsor, at the request of the Duke of Edinburgh but first performed in Leeds Parish Church, is full of interesting tonalities, bright organ flourishes, and contrasts of tempi and texture that combine to create a festive atmosphere. Performed by the choirs of the Leicester Cathedral Legacy Concert in October 2013 conducted by Dr. Chris Johns with Simon Headley at the Harrison & Harrison organ Recorded and edited by Alan Hames [http://www.alanhames.co.uk]

With Owen Brannigan, Emanuel Hurwitz, Sheila Rex, Trevor Anthony Inglese & Chamber Orchestra; the story of this ‘work is the story of' Noah's Ark; who must take his family (wife and three children, who at the time of Britten were played by males but now females because you do not learn more singing at an early age) and a pair of each animal species because all living beings on earth does not live according to the signs of God (the voice that reads) or humility, generosity, altruism ...

'As it is Plenty' from the song cycle 'On this Island' is sung by the Mezzo Soprano Marianne Lihannah & Pete Rosser is the pianist. This is a video clip from a much longer concert in 'The Priory Church of the Annunciation' in Inchbrook, Stroud - March 2014. It was then a relatively new thing for a classical composer to experiment with jazz and blues influences as heard in this cabaret song, composed by a young Britten. The words are by Britten's poet friend; the famous W. H. Auden. Both Britten and Auden had learnt satire as one of the main weapon to cope with their authoritarian boarding school years. Auden's words condemn false values with typical razor-sharp wit and heavy irony. Musically this irony is heard in the jerky rhythms which end in surprising rests. The words by Auden are: As it is plenty; As it is admitted. The children happy and the car, the car That goes so far And the wife devoted: To this as it is, To the work and the banks Let his thinning hair And his hauteur Give thanks, give thanks. All that was thought As like as not, is not;...... When nothing was enough But love, but love And the rough future Of an intransigent nature And the betraying smile, Betraying, but a smile: That that is not, is not; Forget, Forget, Forget. Let him not cease to praise Then his spacious days; Yes, and the success let him bless, let him bless: let him see in this The profits larger And the sins venal, lest he see as it is the loss as major And final, final, final, final, final, final. I hope you like it! All the best Marianne Lihannah www.celebrationsongs.net www.weddingsinger-uk.net www.funeralsinger.net

Video footage of this great couple who brought so much understanding to everything they approached. Amazing ensemble... amazing love! This brief sampling from Schubert's great cycle "Winterreise", D. 911, includes "Frühlingstraum", "Im Dorfe", and "Der Leiermann". From 1968. Link to my Peter Pears playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL56BC9315D6954644&feature;=plcp XI. "Frühlingstraum" (Dream of Springtime) He dreams he is wandering through meadows full of flowers and bird-song in May: he heard the cock's crow and opened his eyes, but it was a raven calling in the cheerless darkness. Who could draw the flowers of ice he can see on the windows? He dreams again, of love, and a maiden's kiss, and the joy and bliss of love, but again the crowing wakes him and he sits up alone. He tries to sleep again: when will the leaves at the window be green - when will she hold him in her arms again? XVII. "Im Dorfe" (In the Village) People are asleep in the village and the dogs are barking. They dream of many things and have their rest. Let the dogs drive him away so that he does not rest with them - he is finished with all dreaming. XXIV. "Der Leiermann" (The Hurdy-Gurdy Man) At the end of the village he finds the old barefoot hurdy-gurdy man, winding away his tunes, but no one has given him a penny, or listens, and even the dogs growl at him. But he just carries on playing, and the poet thinks he will cast in his lot with him.

"A Ceremony of Carols" Op. 28, is a choral piece by Benjamin Britten, scored for three-part treble chorus, solo voices, and harp. Written for Christmas, it consists of eleven movements, with text from "The English Galaxy of Shorter Poems", edited by Gerald Bullett; it is in Middle English. To my ears, this is a marvellous performance under choirmaster and conductor George Guest at St. John's College, Cambridge, recorded in 1965. Marisa Robles' harp playing here is a delight. Details of images (interspersed with my own photographs of various places in the Derbyshire Peak District National Park, England): 1. "The Shrine of St. Ursula" - a carved and gilded wooden reliquary containing oil on panel inserts (87x33x91 cm) by Hans Memling (c. 1433 - 1494). Dating to c.1489 2.

A film of an Benjamin Britten's operatic adaptation of Thomas Mann's haunting novella, Death in Venice. When he wrote the opera, Britten was already ill, and completing the work at all had clearly been a struggle. But he was determined to write an opera and a leading part specifically for his long-time lover and inspiration, Peter Pears. It was soon after Britten had died in December 1976 that Pears had first asked Tony Palmer to film the entire opera with all the original cast, if possible on location in Venice. After all, apart from Suffolk, Venice was the place which meant most to Britten. Despite a minuscule budget, Palmer eventually in 1980 managed to fulfil Pears' ambition. This is the filmed record of Britten's opera, with Robert Gard playing the ageing writer, Gustav von Aschenbach, who is fascinated by an aristocratic boy he encounters in Venice. Includes a short extract with Peter Pears.

The Examiner 2015-03-12Edward Benjamin Britten, Baron Britten,OM CH (22 November 1913 – 4 December 1976) was an English composer, conductor, and pianist; and one of the central figures of 20th century British classical music. He showed talent from an early age, and first came to public attention with the a cappella choral work A Boy Was Born in 1934. With the premiere of his opera Peter Grimes in 1945, he leapt to international fame. For the next fifteen years he devoted much of his compositional attention to writing operas, establishing him as one of the leading 20th century figures in this genre.
Britten's interests as a composer were wide-ranging; he produced important music in such varied genres as orchestral, choral, solo vocal (much of it written for his life partner, tenor Peter Pears), chamber and instrumental, as well as film music. He also took a great interest in writing music for children and amateur performers, and was an outstanding pianist and conductor.
Britten was born in Lowestoft, Suffolk, on 22 November 1913, the youngest of four children. His father, Robert, was a dentist, and his mother Edith, a talented amateur musician who gave Britten his first lessons in piano and notation. He showed musical gifts very early in life, making his first attempts at composition aged five, and thereafter composing prolifically as a child. He started piano lessons with a teacher from his pre-prep school when aged 7, and viola lessons with Audrey Alston when 10 years old.
This little babe
so few days old
is come to rifle
Santan's fold
All hell doth at
his presence quake
though he himself for
cold do shake
For in this weak
un armed wise
the gates of hell he
will surprise
With tears he fights
and wins the field
his naked breast stands
for a shield
His battering shot
are babish cries
his arrows looks of
weeping eyes
His martial en sings
Cold a Need
and feeble Flesh his
war rior's steed.
His camp is pitched
in a stall
his bulwark but a
boken wall
The crib his trench
haystalks his stakes
of shepherds he his
muster makes
And thus as sure
his foe to wound
the angels trumps
a la rum sound
My soul with Christ
join thou in fight
stick to the tents
that he hath pight
With in his crib
is surest ward
This Little Babe
will be thy guard
If thou wilt foil
foes with joy then
flit not from this
