MUSIQUE

These podcasts are designed to help listeners of all experiences to gain some understanding of "classical music" from the perspective of a conductor, teacher, performer, and artist - they are a synthesis of what I have gained from my life experience with this music and it is my hope that they will enable you to enjoy this music and be able to utilize the tools I provide for further listening in your life.

Mozart Requiem Part 1

These next 2 podcasts discuss and uncover some of the notable elements in Mozart's final composition, written and completed in 1791. This immortal work became the climax of the made-for-Hollywood movie Amadeus. These podcasts come from a July 2006 series of programs I co-hosted with Tifanny Liong at 91.5, DZFE, The Master's Touch and are used by permission. The program was entitled "Amazing Amade" and was produced in honor of the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. These podcasts are for EDUCATIONAL use only. Not to be used in any public setting by any media. CAUTION: Because of the nature of the wide spectrum of the volume of the music, headphones are STRONGLY encouraged. Please be safe.

Maestro Eugene's Podcast 4: Music and Words: The Sigh, Gerald Finzi

Music and Poetry - Approaching Beethoven's 9th. This is the fourth in a series of podcasts intended to simply walk with you through various composers and their music. Any tool, whether for music lovers, musicians or those new to "classical" music, is always helpful in this creative process of engaged listening. I offer these thoughts to anyone and everyone as a musician who has performed, studied, lived, taught and/or conducted the wide array and miscellany of musical works in the repertoire, be they familiar masterworks or gems that are less frequently performed. In this podcast, with the intention being able to eventually approach listening and talking about Beethoven's 9th (Choral) Symphony, I present an interesting opportunity for engaged and responsive listening in order to have a new perspective about the wedding of words and music - in this case, poetry and music. Most of this process is described in the podcast, so I leave much of the details for later discovery. These podcasts are for EDUCATIONAL use only. Not to be used in any public setting by any media. I STRONGLY recommend headphones because the ambient sounds of many coffee places and offices do not afford the opportunity to fully appreciate the full range of the sound spectrum that is so difficult to replicate outside of a concert hall. Happy listening! CAUTION: Because of the nature of the wide spectrum of the volume of the music, headphones are STRONGLY encouraged. Please be safe. Do not listen to this podcast while driving.

Maestro Eugene's Podcast 3: Poetry, Mahler and Tennyson

Poetry, Mahler, and Tennyson - Approaching Beethoven's 9th. This is the third in a series of podcasts I began with the idea to simply walk with you through various composers and their music. Any tool, whether for music lovers, musicians or those new to "classical" music, is always helpful to hear from anyone and everyone who has performed, studied, lived, taught and/or conducted the wide array and miscellany of musical works in the repertoire, be they familiar masterworks or gems that are less frequently performed. In this podcast, with the intention being able to eventually approach listening and talking about Beethoven's 9th (Choral) Symphony, I present just the simplest of ideas about music as language, poetry as an expression of the soul and dare to render a "musician's" interpretation of Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem Ulysses as a means to allow words, poetic words, to just "wash over us." I repeat some of the ideas I presented in my first podcast for emphasis and simply move on to setting up the poem of Tennyson. After doing so, the next podcast will treat the notion of words (or lyrics/poems) set or "married" to music - the marriage of word and music. This, I believe, will enable us to have some common "vocabulary" tools with which to approach Beethoven's immortal masterwork with some greater clarity. These podcasts are for EDUCATIONAL use only.

Maestro Eugene's Podcast 2: Beethoven's Fifth Part 2

Beethoven Symphony No. 5 - Part II. This is the secpmd in a series of podcasts I created that simply walk you through various composers and their music. I think that any tool, whether for music lovers, musicians or those new to "classical" music, is always helpful from anyone and everyone who has performed, studied, taught and/or conducted the wide array and miscellany of musical works in the repertoire, be they familiar or those that are perhaps new. These podcasts are for EDUCATIONAL use only. Not to be used in any public setting by any media.
