47TH ANNUAL

INTERNATIONAL HORN SYMPOSIUM

WELCOME FROM YOUR CONFERENCE CO-HOSTS

Andrew Bain

Annie Bosler

We are very excited to welcome you to the Colburn School for the 47th International Horn Symposium: IHS LA 2015. The last IHS workshop held in Los Angeles was in 1979, so thirty-six years have passed since masses of horn players have gathered in Los Angeles. This year’s theme, “Then and Now”, is a celebration and reflection of the horn’s role across time. With over 180 events taking place during this seven day span, we understand it will be impossible to see everything. Because of the size of several halls at the Colburn School, many artists will be playing multiple times throughout the week. Seating will be on a first come, first serve basis. If you don’t get to catch them the first time, you will more than likely have the chance to see them again. This conference has been in the making for almost four years. We are grateful that you made the trip to join us in Los Angeles. Please tag @ihsla2015 in your Social Media posts!

WELCOME FROM IHS PRESIDENT

Jeff Nelsen

Lights. Camera. Horn. ACTION! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FINALLY happening! For 47 years, we who love the horn have gathered together to celebrate our noble instrument. On behalf of the International Horn Society, its Advisory Council, and the IHS LA team, I welcome you to Los Angeles and to IHS47, the largest global horn event of the year. Our co-hosts Andrew Bain and Annie Bosler have imagined for us an impressive week that is guaranteed to blow our horn-loving minds. We are in for a thrilling week of all things horn. Los Angeles is always buzzing with activity, and now we add our hornist invasion into the mix. You will share your week with fellow horn enthusiasts from places all across the globe. You are surrounded by your people. Now is not the time to be shy, so make your goal to connect to new people this week! I could not be prouder or more excited to be a member of the IHS than I am this week. You have all my best wishes for an inspiring, thrilling, music-filled IHS LA experience.

Jeff

WELCOME FROM THE COLBURN SCHOOL

Sel Kardan

On behalf of our exceptional students, renowned faculty, esteemed Board of Directors, and the broader Colburn community, I am pleased to welcome horn players from around the world to the International Horn Symposium here at the Colburn campus, in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. The Colburn School is a vital educating force for the performing artists of tomorrow—nationally and internationally. In its 65-year history, Colburn has stewarded the careers of some of the world’s most accomplished musicians, vocalists, and dancers, all of whom started or continued their journeys at critical moments in their lives when the guidance and training from our faculty helped set them on their paths. I hope you enjoy your time with us, and that you have many opportunities to explore Los Angeles’s world-class arts and culture communities. Sincerely,

Sel Kardan President and CEO

Colburn School, Thayer Hall

Problems of Authenticity and Style in the Concerto in E-Flat major for Two Horns and Orchestra (Murray C 56Q) Questions of authenticity remain a persistent and frustrating problem for scholars and students of late eighteenth-century music. Although untangling complex webs of misattribution has been for many years a high priority, there remain a number of compositions edited, performed, and studied as the work of different composers. The present study focuses on the problems of authenticity and style in one such work: a Concerto for Two Horns and Orchestra in E-Flat major attributed to both Joseph and Michael Haydn, which is here referred to as the “Wallerstein Concerto.” Dr. Sterling Murray, foremost Rosetti scholar, lectures on the authenticity of the Double Concerto Murray C 56Q, attributed to Michael Haydn. Stylistic features as well as compositional techniques and attributes are discussed. The lecture recital includes a performance of the work conducted by Dr. Andrew Yozviak. In addition the double concerto has been arranged for a chamber setting and published for double woodwind quintet by Dr. Yozviak. The performance features Dr. Elizabeth Pfaffle, Dana Cullen, and Dr. Sterling Murray. The lecture recital highlights historical information included in Dr. Murray’s recent publication: The Career of an Eighteenth-Century Kapellmeister, Antonio Rosetti.

Time Spaces/Sound Spaces/Harmonielehre (A One Hour Interactive Session—Bring your Horn!) Presenter: Randall Faust “It’s not the notes, it’s the rests that trip me up.” (Commentary from a young hornist who was working through a new contemporary composition.) “The horn is sometimes considered a difficult instrument. Actually, it is not difficult. However, its reputation for slipperiness is well deserved—owing to its use of so many partials of the harmonic series.” (Commentary from an experienced horn teacher.) Both of these commentaries reflect the many we hear from various students and teachers in the process playing and teaching the horn. These commentaries also have additional variations— depending on the playing situations, demands of conductors, and certainly the complexity of the music. As hornists, we live daily with these realities. We also contend with historic perceptions (and jokes) about missed or “cracked” notes on the horn—and much of our pedagogical material focuses on these “notes.” By contrast, this presenter believes that the secret to improvement is the study of the spaces between the notes. The study of time spaces—the time from the beginning of one note to the other (including rests)—can improve rhythmic accuracy. Likewise, the study of sound spaces—the space between one pitch and the other can improve pitch accuracy. Add to this harmonielehre. This name was used by Schoenberg as the title of his book discussing the study of harmony. For me, this is a bit of a pun, (in the tradition of horn humor), also meaning the “study of the harmonic series.” It is this presenter’s observation that unlike the piano—where the sound spaces are equidistant half steps—the distance between the sound spaces on the Horn are not equidistant. So, the study of the harmonic series helps to clarify this understanding of sound spaces.

Tocar el Corno: El Sistema, Social Change and the Horn Presenter: Rachel Hockenberry Forty years ago, Dr. José Antonio Abreu founded El Sistema, Venezuela’s revolutionary music program founded on the belief that an intense, high quality music education can provide a vehicle for social change and youth development. Inspired by Dr. Abreu’s vision, countries all over the world have adapted this Venezuelan model by creating after-school youth music programs in underserved communities. Building community through ensemble is one of the core values of El Sistema; thus, El Sistema instruction is largely conducted in a group setting as opposed to private instruction. This presentation will provide a brief overview of El Sistema history and philosophy, defining the ways in which El Sistema aligns and differs from current teaching practices. It will then address the reasons behind the lack of horn students in El Sistema programs around the world, and provide an overview of instructional techniques useful to address the unique challenges of successfully starting young students on the horn in a group brass setting. The presentation will also cover teaching and organizational practices utilized to strengthen communities through youth music programs.

Art Through a Tube-Making Great Music on the Horn Presenter: Joshua Wood “Even on your worst day, be hands down the best musician in the room.” –attr. Ward O. Fearn Historically well-known hornists experienced a comprehensive approach to musical training and education that is perhaps less common today. Many studied other instruments prior to the horn and had a thorough grounding in disciplines such as harmony/counterpoint, composition, and singing. This contributed significantly to the artistry for which they are remembered and celebrated. Today, some aspiring professional horn players (especially college students) can become so focused on the mastery of the technical aspects of the instrument that playing “musically”—with understanding, passion, confidence, and expression—can become a secondary priority. This seminar will offer practical suggestions and tips on how to improve musicianship, both on and away from the horn. Through the enhancement of skills such as score reading, ear training, composition/arranging, conducting, and more, one can learn to interact with the music on a much deeper level. This will lead not only to more powerful and effective performances, but will also allow for greater flexibility in choosing one’s musical path. In a rapidly shifting cultural climate, the ability to comprehend and effectively communicate sincere musical ideas will be crucial in reaching new audiences.

The Velvet Horn-Sound of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Presenter: Jack Munnecom Since 1888, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam has gained a reputation as one of

the best orchestras in the world. The unique sound of the orchestra is lauded by many critics. The horn players contributed to this famous sound with their famous “velvet” horn-sound. In this lecture, I will introduce the principal horn players from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra to the audience in a vivid presentation, supported by audio and television recordings. From US emigration in the early 20th century, the founder of the Amsterdam Horn tradition, a Virtuous and a Lyric (admired by Dennis Brain), the First Lady, a Genius untamable soloist to the modern generation, keeping the velvet sound and the tradition alive, the audience will learn about the history of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. The “velvet sound” hopefully will inspire other horn players to strive after the most beautiful sound everyone can make.

Healthy Horn Playing: Injury Prevention through Pedagogy Informed by Science Presenters: Eli Epstein, horn Dr. Peter Iltis, medical professional An alarming number of brass players, professional and nonprofessional, have developed career-limiting focal dystonia. Dr. Peter Iltis, Professor of Horn and Kinesiology at Gordon College, and Eli Epstein, veteran second horn of The Cleveland Orchestra, will present MRI films that clearly illustrate horn techniques that may lead to sustainable careers and the prevention of focal dystonia in brass players. Dr. Peter Iltis has been conducting research for the past year in collaboration with both the Institute for Music Physiology and Musician’s Medicine (Hannover, Germany) and the MRI Lab at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry and Biomedical NMR Research in Göttingen, Germany. The research involves conducting high-speed, real-time magnetic resonance imaging of two groups performing on an MRI-compatible horn: (1) elite horn players with sustained high level performing careers and (2) horn players who have developed focal dystonia. Though the results are only preliminary, these films show consistent techniques among the elite group that are distinct from the techniques of the dystonic group. These findings may form a scientific basis of defining a horn pedagogy that leads to sustainable healthy careers and may prevent focal dystonia in future generations. Eli Epstein, who was one of the elite subjects in the study described above, will show how the methods set forth in his book, Horn Playing from the Inside Out, A Method for All Brass Players, can lead to the healthy sustainable practices demonstrated in the elite group.

One Branch from the Great Reynolds Tree Presenters: Gustavo Camacho Rose French As homage to the influence Verne Reynolds has had on horn players across the globe, Dr. Gustavo Camacho and Dr. Rose French will perform a recital that celebrates one branch of “The Great Reynolds Tree.” Dr. John Ericson studied with Verne Reynolds at Eastman School of Music in the early ‘80’s as a Masters student, went on to play third horn with Nashville Symphony, and eventually became professor of horn at Arizona State University. There he continued to pass on many of Verne Reynold’s teachings to his horn students, which included Rose French and Gustavo Camacho in the mid 2000s. Now, Gustavo Camacho is professor of horn at Western Washington University, and Rose French is on faculty at Arizona State University and Grand Canyon University, as well as the founder of Mill Avenue Chamber Players. Verne Reynold’s musical influence continues today through the teachings that are passed down through the many branches of the Great Reynolds Tree. REYNOLDS Partita I. Malinconia II. Caccia III.

MUSIC for unaccompanied horn (world premiere) Christopher Griffin, horn The composition POP! MUSIC for unaccompanied horn was written and dedicated to me by Robert Gross during my doctoral studies at the University of Southern California. Robert was intrigued by my thesis subject and the story of composer John J. Becker. Inspired by the possibilities of dissonant counterpoint, Robert began work on the piece immediately and presented me with a copy within weeks. POP! MUSIC is a freely post-tonal composition which applies the concepts of dissonant counterpoint timbrally emphasizing certain pitch sets of structural significance. His intention was to create for the listener an aural impression of formal structure, similarly as would be experienced through Schenkerian prolongation. Although written over a decade ago, the piece has yet to be performed, happily making this performance its world premiere. GARY SCHOCKER In Arkadia for Horn and Harp (world premiere) 1.

Aston-Patterning®- A New Paradigm for Optimizing Performance through Improved Body Usage Presenter: Amanda Skidmore Farasat Inefficient body usage not only inhibits peak performance, but also can shorten musicians’ careers by triggering overuse injuries and other performance related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMD). Aston-Patterning® is an innovative system of bodywork, ergonomics, and movement education that can be a powerful tool for improving body mechanics, preventing and correcting PRMD, increasing professional longevity, and enhancing musical performance. Content in these participatory workshops (Monday, Tuesday, and Friday) will vary from session to session, though each workshop will cover the basic concepts of body awareness and neutral body alignment. Based upon participant interest and need, other topics can include • determining your best ergonomic set up for any chair • movement exercises for warm-up, warm-down, and mid-rehearsal/performance wake-up • optimizing resonance: using full-body cooperative movement to raise the horn to the body, thereby maintaining relaxation through the ribcage, shoulder girdle and neck Attendees should bring their instrument and a thick bath towel.

Horn Iconography as found in The Grand Medieval Bestiary Presenter: Karl Kemm Moderniconographic associations held by alphorns, hunting horns, and trumpets mostly originated from artistic renderings of the middle ages. This lecture will show and elaborate upon the occurrence of certain brass-family instruments drawn in the periods between the 12th and 15th centuries as compiled within The Grand Medieval Bestiary by Christian Heck and Rémy Cordonnier published in French in 2011 and English in 2012. It is topically a collection of animals drawn in illumination but also contains a treasure of iconographic references interesting to music historians concerned primarily with lip-blown aerophones. Because the histories of man, beast, and horns are intertwined, we see several medieval depictions of historical trumpets and horns in a variety of contexts.

The First American Horn Concerto Presenter: Christopher Griffin John J. Becker, along with Henry Cowell, Wallingford Riegger, Carl Ruggles and Charles Ives, were American composers of the early 20th century with an intense desire to create and establish an original American music independent of European music tradition. As historians continue to assess and categorize their individual and joint contributions in early

post-tonal music, the designation “American Five” has been increasingly used to underline and reference their common interests. The Concerto for Horn (1933) by John Becker proves an excellent example in presenting such unique and truly American characteristics. In the late 1920s, Becker embraced and began to apply the theory of dissonant counterpoint, a compositional concept of Charles Seeger, father of legendary folksinger Pete Seeger. Over time Becker’s new found compositional process came to define his music, lending it the “Made in America” stamp so willfully intended. Unfortunately the resulting sardonic character and style, generally misunderstood and underappreciated at the time, may now account for the relative obscurity of his music today. Nevertheless, Becker’s vision and vehemence for America, his place within the American Five along with his prolific and thought provoking achievements, qualify a level of significance worthy of consideration. The majority of information will be drawn from my master’s thesis “The Use of Dissonant Counterpoint in the Concerto for Horn by John J. Becker.” The composition POP! Music for Horn was written and dedicated to me by Robert Gross during my doctoral studies at the University of Southern California. Robert was intrigued by my thesis subject and the story of composer John J. Becker. Inspired by the possibilities of dissonant counterpoint, Robert began work on the piece immediately and presented me with a copy within weeks. POP! Music for Horn is a serial composition which applies the concepts of dissonant counterpoint timbrally emphasizing certain pitch sets of structural significance. His intention was to create for the listener an aural impression of formal structure, similarly as would be experienced through Schenkerian prolongation. Although written over a decade ago, the piece has yet to be performed, happily making this performance its world premiere.

LECTURE (Practice/Study)

11 am–11:50 am

Colburn School, Mayman Hall

IN with the Old and IN with the New Presenter: Lanette Lopez Compton This clinic will focus on establishing a studio with depth and creating a culture that fosters a strong work ethic though daily fundamentals and chamber ensemble playing. All of this would then result in sections in large ensembles that could handle more challenging repertoire because of their strong fundamentals and chamber ensemble skills. This can be done using our traditional methods, but in a new way. Daily fundamentals will be demonstrated through a method I have created titled “Drop the Beat.” It centers on a daily routine that includes various scale exercises, lip slurs, tonguing, along with other standard exercises, but with today’s pop songs as a “musical” metronome. Chamber ensemble playing will be discussed using the standard quartet, octet, and large horn choir settings. I will talk about works that we must include from our established repertoire, but also talk about methods on commissioning new works and arrangements. As our world changes, and as expectations become more demanding, we have to prepare our students and future horn players to the best of our abilities. I believe that these methods inspire a more comprehensive studio from a technical and collegial standpoint, where they respect where we came from as an instrument to where we will go into the future.

Audition Preparation Techniques- The End Game Presenter: Kurt Civilette Since moving to Michigan recently I won 5 local auditions within a span of 3 years. I won a full-time position as 3rd horn in The New Mexico Symphony, which I held for 15 years, but the group folded and I had to start over. From my experiences taking auditions, both in this recent period and earlier in my career, I have developed a good system of working out the inconsistencies that plague us as horn players, using processes culled from numerous sources. I taught a popular class on this subject at Michigan State University and I would like to share my techniques with professionals and teachers alike. My hope is that anybody taking auditions or coaching students who are actively auditioning will learn something useful.

INTERNATIONAL HORN SYMPOSIUM LECTURE (Composition)

4 pm–4:30 pm

Compose Yourself: Exploring Composition for the Horn Player Presenter: Gina Gillie Exploring the process of composition yields numerous benefits for performers, teachers, and students. In the process of creating our own music we confront the musical choices and creative undertakings that our favorite composers also confronted, and we can understand better the struggle of turning individual notes and rhythms into music. Understanding composition can break down barriers when we’re performing between the notes on the page the expression we desire. This presentation will discuss many of the benefits of writing your own music and will offer some tips on how to get started and what to consider. Whether you just want to write for your own enjoyment in the practice room or you want to have your music performed on concert stages, there is much to be gained by composing yourself.

LECTURE (Improvisation & Pedagogy)

5 pm–5:50 pm

Colburn School, Grand Rehearsal Hall

The Improvisational Approach: A New Method for Learning a Classical Piece of Music by Employing Jazz Education Methods Presenter: Dr. Candace Thomas This lecture is the result of my dissertation research at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), and is for those interested in an introduction to an alternative way to learn a new piece of classical music by using the “The Improvisational Approach: A New Method for Learning a Classical Piece of Music by Employing Jazz Education Methods.” While the majority of the steps of the IA have been a standard approach for UIUC jazz students to learn their tunes, when applied to learning classical repertoire, its application melds the two worlds and deepens the musicianship of those who use it. This lecture will introduce the process of the IA, which is defined as a method of learning music through common practices utilized by jazz performers and educators. The musical language and style of the learned piece of music will not be of the jazz idiom, but remains classical in nature. This lecture will explore the steps of the IA using J. Michael Haydn’s Concertino for Horn and Orchestra in D Major. Some aspects incorporated into the project are transcription, improvisation, composition, and how these steps can help to learn a piece internally before

externally. This lecture is a simple introduction into creating etudes, improvising cadenzas, and otherwise approaching a standard classical piece creatively. It is also appropriate for anyone looking to expand on ways to approach new, or even familiar, pieces of music. To help illustrate the different steps of the IA, class participation will be encouraged.

LECTURE (Wellness)

5:30 pm–6 pm

Colburn School, Zipper Hall

Playing for Health: Can music keep your brain resilient as you age? Presenter: Dr. Alison Balbag Playing a musical instrument is a distinctly unique activity: Not only is it a form of art or entertainment, but increasing evidence supports that making music may benefit cognitive development and health. Many of these studies, however, focus on the effects of playing in childhood through young adulthood. Whether the cognitive benefits of making music extend across the lifespan and into older adulthood has not been extensively investigated. Dr. Alison Balbag will discuss her recent work examining music’s potential to protect against dementia and cognitive impairment later in life. A population-based twin study, this work finds that playing an instrument in older adulthood is significantly associated with reduced risk of developing dementia or cognitive impairment. Given music’s universality, this evidence of its potential role as a non-pharmacological, non-invasive, and modifiable protective factor against dementia and cognitive impairment is particularly encouraging.

LECTURE (Historical)

5:30pm–6 pm

Colburn School, Mayman Hall

Arvids Klišans and the Preservation of the Latvian Horn Tradition Presenter: Melisandra Teteris Despite political turmoil and a revolving door of musicians, composers, and musicologists as a result of deportation or emigration, one musician has emerged and has become a champion of Latvian music. Arvids Klišans was principal hornist in the Latvian National Symphony for over 50 years, recorded seven solo albums along with countless other solo recordings, won many solo competitions in the Soviet Union, and led chamber music tours in order to help repair church organs throughout the country. In addition, he was the horn professor at the Jazeps Vitols Academy of Music and had over 50 students in his tenure at that school, most of whom now play in many major orchestras of eastern Europe.

Klišans has been the inspiration for solo horn pieces composed in Latvia and has played a large role in advocating this music, most of which is unpublished, through his students. Klišans music is considered to be standard repertoire amongst Latvian horn players and has been passed down from generation to generation through copies of handwritten works. In this presentation, I will discuss the importance of Arvids Klišans in the Latvian horn tradition and how this has transferred to the various generations of his students as well as to those who study with them. Through this oral history, which also has a component of written, unpublished music, the Latvian horn tradition will continue to bloom even if the culture diminishes. Recordings and video of Klišans as well as pieces written for him that are not recorded will also be a part of this presentation.

Stress Velopharyngeal Incompetence and Wind Players Presenter: Abigail Black Stress Velopharyngeal Incompetence (SVPI) is a specific form of velopharyngeal dysfunction. SVPI is the unwanted coupling of the oral and nasal cavities while brass musicians play their instruments. It occurs when the velopharyngeal mechanism, or the soft palate, is required to maintain a tight seal between the oral and nasal cavities in a non-speech situation involving significantly elevated air pressure in the oral cavity. “Velo” comes from the word velum, referring to the soft palate. Pharyngeal comes from pharynx, or the throat. In other words, air escapes through the nose while exhaling through the mouth. Symptoms of SVPI include air leaking through the nose while playing an instrument and nasal sounds while playing an instrument. Unfortunately this problem is often left undiagnosed so there are very few case studies on it. This disorder can deter a wind player’s musical career or end a career prematurely. I have SVPI and have undergone medical (surgical) treatments and modifications to my approach to brass playing to rectify this condition. My presentation will cover how the 32

disability negatively impacts brass playing, the causes of SVPI, how to seek medical treatment, potential treatment options, videos (including my own) of brass players with air leaks, and how to help a student who is struggling with SVPI.

Colburn School, Zipper Hall

Seen and not heard? The evolution of the horn’s role in the wind quintet Chinook Winds Like children in an old English proverb, hornists sometimes joke that their true purpose in a wind quintet is to be seen and not heard. This program will explore the role of the only brass instrument in a wind quintet. In fitting with the “Then and Now” theme, the program will also trace the evolution of the horn’s role over time, first with one of the oldest quintets in the standard repertoire (Reicha’s Op. 88, No. 1) and then one of the newest (Maslanka’s Quintet No. 3). Additionally, to aid in the comparison by demonstrating the limitations in what composers could have to horn do in the Classical era, the Reicha will be performed on a natural horn the hornist built with Lowell Greer. The time between pieces will be filled with a short talk comparing the horn’s role in the two works. REICHA Quintet in E minor, Op. 88, No. 1 I. Andante - Allegro ma non troppo II. Andante poco allegretto III. Menuetto: Allegro vivo IV. Finale: Allegro DAVID MASLANKA Quintet for Winds No. 3 I. II. III.

WARM-UP

(Pedagogy)

(Junior Fundamentals)

9:30 am–10:20 am

Colburn School, Mayman Hall

Contemporary Solos for Low Horn Presenter: Dr. Robert Stonestreet Playing in the lower register forms a vital part of every horn player’s skill set; however, the fact that it is no longer considered a specialized skill has led to it becoming a neglected facet in both the practice and teaching of many students. There are significant benefits to low register work on the horn as well as many challenges, and in recent years a number of new pedagogical resources have become available that specifically target this area. At the same time it has appeared that the number of solo works available to showcase these skills as they are developed by the student have been relatively few and far between. The development and implementation of the valve at the beginning of the nineteenth century had a substantial effect on the horn and its technique, especially in the lower register. Several innovative composers and performers explored the instrument’s possibilities below the stave, whilst retaining the rapid arpeggios and wide intervals commonly found in ‘cor basse’ music from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. For whatever reason, most of these works and the people who are responsible for them have failed to gain widespread recognition amongst today’s horn players. The two most well known and widely performed works for low horn have long been Carl Nielsen’s Canto Serioso composed in 1913, and Hermann Neuling’s landmark work, the Bagatelle, written during the 1950s. In the decades that followed, many more works have become available and these repertoire options are clearly worth further investigation. This presentation will cover a number of solo repertoire options for the low horn player, covering various styles, nationalities and levels of difficulty. Special attention will be paid to the works recently commissioned by The Philadelphia Orchestra’s fourth horn Denise Tryon, by the composers Brett Miller (b. 1976), Nathan Pawelek (b. 1968), Andrea Clearfield (b. 1960) and Peter Askim (b. 1971). It is hoped that the works discussed will fill the currently existing void for both players and teachers, attract more frequent performances and ultimately a more widespread appreciation of the skills required in the lowest register of the instrument.

Following their mission to unearth compositions from the past, discover pieces of the present day, and with a look to the future, their program will begin with Frédéric Duvernoy’s Trio No. 1 in C Major. Residing in both Los Angeles and London, John Scott is a film and television composer and also a woodwind player, having played in the Royal Air Force Band with hornists Dennis Brain and Alan Civil. His colorful House of Shadows is another staple of the Los Angeles Horn Trio’s repertoire. One of the most important parts of the ensemble’s goal is to commission new works. Therefore, on the program will be a world premiere by Los Angeles composer Frederick Lesemann, whose compositions have been performed by orchestras, chamber ensembles, and soloists worldwide. He served on the composition faculty of the USC Thornton School of Music for 49 years. DUVERNOY Trio No. 1 in C Major I. Adagio II. Allegretto JOHN SCOTT House of Shadows I. Long and Dark Shadows II.

Authentic Emotional Expression Using Stanislavsky’s Acting Methods Presenter: Eli Epstein How to develop the freedom to express our feelings, our stories and ourselves with our audience. The focus of horn study around the world has centered to some degree on technique and accuracy. Yet, playing the right notes is only part of what it take to be a musician and artist. Stanislavski’s widely used “System” activates an actor’s creativity and imagination. Generations of actors have been inspired by these ideas. Stanislavski’s concepts such as “emotional memory” and the “Magic If” are equally powerful means for musicians to consciously tap into the unconscious and create spontaneous, authentic and moving performances.

Beverages and snacks will be available for purchase. The Los Angeles Horn Club, founded in the 1950s, kept players in shape during weeks-off from motion picture recording. They held weekly meetings and annual dinner parties. The horn players would get together with their wives, see a concert, and watch a comedic act by the players of the club entitled Professor Schmutzig. The LA Horn Club went on to record two albums, one in 1959 and one in 1970. Most of the music written for the Club was written by well-known film and classical composers. Honoring the history of the horn in Hollywood, a Los Angeles Horn Club Concert will be recreated at one of the most historic theaters in film: the Los Angeles Theatre. The Los Angeles Theatre, constructed in the early 1930’s, is a 2,000 seat movie palace located in the historic Broadway Theater District

I Found My Horn Writers: Jasper Rees and Jonathan Guy Lewis Director: Harry Burton Actor: Jonathan Guy Lewis

Jonathan Guy Lewis is directed by Harry Burton in an updated production of this wryly funny and infinitely touching story about making music and confronting one’s private demons. Adapted from Jasper Rees’ popular book, A Devil to Play, the play was premiered in 2008 at the Aldeburgh Festival in Benjamin Britten’s home town. It was performed to great acclaim at the 2014 International Horn Society workshop in London. A man wakes up at 40 to a broken marriage, a beckoning bedsit, and the realization that he has done nothing to make himself memorable. After a lay-off of 25 years, he seeks redemption via the sixteen feet of treacherous brass tubing he never mastered in his youth. Resuming his old French horn, he sets himself an impossible task: to perform a Mozart concerto in front of a paying audience of horn fanatics. Q&A to follow. *This production will be repeated on Saturday, 8/8.

LECTURE (Practice/Study)

4 pm–4:30 pm

Colburn School, Mayman Hall

The Past, Present, and Future of Practice Presenter: Marc Gelfo The last 100 years has seen a tremendous change in our understanding of learning and skill development. I begin with an overview of traditional music practice techniques, looking at underlying assumptions and models to establish a baseline. From there I will discuss research from the last few decades, drawing from fields such as cognitive science, peak performance, and psychopharmacology, as well as the influence of traditional practices such as yoga and meditation, on how we can improve as musicians. This leads to a survey of the current “cutting edge” of practice techniques. I will discuss my own experiences leading a holistic music practice retreat, as well as the influence of programs such as Noa Kageyama’s Bulletproof Musician. Finally, I will explore directions the future might hold for music practice, examining the role of technology, biofeedback, nutrition, and other fruitful domains.

Aston-Patterning® - A New Paradigm for Optimizing Performance through Improved Body Usage Presenter: Amanda Skidmore Farasat Inefficient body usage not only inhibits peak performance, but also can shorten musicians’ careers by triggering overuse injuries and other performance related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMD). Aston-Patterning® is an innovative system of bodywork, ergonomics, and movement education that can be a powerful tool for improving body mechanics, preventing and correcting PRMD, increasing professional longevity, and enhancing musical performance. Content in these participatory workshops (Monday, Tuesday, and Friday) will vary from session to session, though each workshop will cover the basic concepts of body awareness and neutral body alignment. Based upon participant interest and need, other topics can include: • determining your best ergonomic set up for any chair • movement exercises for warm-up, warm-down, and mid-rehearsal/performance wake-up • optimizing resonance: using full-body cooperative movement to raise the horn to the body, thereby maintaining relaxation through the ribcage, shoulder girdle and neck Attendees should bring their instrument and a thick bath towel.

What Now? Life Between Your Graduate Degree and Your Dream Job: Help for new professionals and teachers of future professionals Presenters: Rebecca Chambers Sarah Schouten An increasing number of students are completing graduate degrees and attempting to enter the workforce. The supply of new, highly qualified horn performers and teachers is considerably more than the amount of available positions in the United States. As long as students are in school pursuing graduate degrees, they have a focus and achievable goals presented before them to complete the degree What happens to these new masters and doctors of music when they graduate? How do they make a living? Pursue their dream? Stay active and involved in music? How do they continue to improve themselves and work towards their goals of full-time employment as horn players and teachers? How can current teachers help their graduate students prepare themselves for life post-graduation but pre-full time position? This presentation will provide multiple solutions to these questions and contain a question and answer session.

An Introduction to Solo Duet Training for Horns Presenter: James Boldin This presentation will feature information and demonstrations of excerpts from Solo Duet Training for Horns, a new publication by James Boldin from Mountain Peak Music, mountainpeakmusic.com. These duets are designed to assist horn players in learning six of the most popular horn solos. The two parts are equal in importance and difficulty. Solo Training duets can be used to help students learn style and technique, as recreational musical diversions, or even as additions to recitals if an accompanist is not available. The duets are based on the following works:

Teaching and Refining Articulation through Speech Presenter: Natalie Douglass This presentation discusses the relationship between human speech and brass playing, and how speech patterns affect instrument tone and articulation. I have spent the past year as both the researcher and case study subject undergoing speech therapy for a lifelong speech disorder that hindered my horn playing. The research project, Oral Musculation Patterns Affecting Speech, Voice, and Instrument Tone, was presented as a research poster at the 2014 International Association of Orofacial Myology Convention in Calgary, Alberta. Orofacial Myology, a branch of speech therapy, regulates the use of the tongue, lips, jaw, and face. The study, in collaboration with Patricia K. Fisher, M.A., CCC/SLP/COM and the University of Cincinnati Speech and Hearing Clinic, outlines the substantial improvements in my horn playing over the course of a year of speech therapy. Continuing research currently works with horn and trumpet students referred to me by faculty at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. I have since investigated the ways in which speech and speech therapy can benefit horn playing and pedagogy.

Then and Now: Creating Music in the Moment: a friendly workshop for all horn players, any level Presenter: Lin Foulk After enjoying 25 years of traditional horn performance and study, Dr. Lin Foulk took a 16-month sabbatical leave in 2013–14 to study classical music improvisation. As a result, she has developed a unique approach to teach other classical musicians to play without notated music in a highly accessible, encouraging, and fun classroom environment. At IHS LA, she will co-present a 60-minute session along with WMU horn students who took “Classical Music Improvisation,” a class Dr. Foulk offered at WMU in fall 2014. All IHS LA session participants will be led to play improvisations in both large and small ensembles through specific, pre-tested activities using their horn, voice, body percussion, or basic percussion instruments provided by Dr. Foulk. WMU horn students Nicole Vanden Bosch, Kirstie Keill, Jennifer Kempe, and Jeremy Larson will help co-present this session.

Are we playing that right? Valve horn performance through the hand horn lens in 19th century orchestral solos. Presenter: John Cox Jeffrey Snedeker Many 19th century orchestral solo passages, scant of interpretative marks that were clear to hand horn players, are now interpreted and performed differently by modern performers on modern instruments. This lecture/demonstration will be a tag-team effort featuring John Cox and Jeffrey Snedeker, and will examine some prominent passages of Beethoven, Berlioz, Brahms, and others in opening discussion of authenticity of understood writing, the transformation to early standard performance practices, and modern practices. Demonstrations will be made on hand horn and valve horn, and maybe a few other horns thrown in for good measure.

I Found My Horn Writers: Jasper Rees and Jonathan Guy Lewis Director: Harry Burton Actor: Jonathan Guy Lewis Jonathan Guy Lewis is directed by Harry Burton in an updated production of this wryly funny and infinitely touching story about making music and confronting one’s private demons. Adapted from Jasper Rees’ popular book, A Devil to Play, the play was premiered in 2008 at the Aldeburgh Festival in Benjamin Britten’s home town. It was performed to great acclaim at the 2014 International Horn Society workshop in London. A man wakes up at forty to a broken marriage, a beckoning bedsit, and the realization that he has done nothing to make himself memorable. After a lay-off of 25 years, he seeks redemption via the sixteen feet of treacherous brass tubing he never mastered in his youth. Resuming his old French horn, he sets himself an impossible task: to perform a Mozart concerto in front of a paying audience of horn fanatics. Q&A to follow. *This is a repeat performance of Thursday, 8/6.

summit records with STEVEN GROSS, horn • DALE CLEVENGER, conductor “Gross manages the challenging horn part with subtle flair and vibrant character... The delights extend to concertos by Quantz, Roellig and Neruda... [played with] suave and poetic conversation. Clevenger’s conducting is as sensitive and sure as his own horn-playing, and the Capella Istropolitana responds with handsome alacrity.” – Gramaphone Magazine
