From Vienna To La

Arnold Schoenberg's Five Pieces for Orchestra was a landmark in western music. As part of the worldwide Schoenberg 150 celebrations, distinguished faculty and alumni soloists with UCLA Philharmonia perform an exciting range of composers featured in the Milken Archive of Jewish Music: The American Experience. Schoenberg’s Five Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 16 was a pivotal work in the composer’s development, heralding a revolutionary approach to harmony and orchestral color. Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Shulamit Ran’s “Voices: For a Flutist with Orchestra” (2001) explores Middle Eastern modes, structures and textures in a lively and evocative work for soloist (playing flute, piccolo and alto flute) and orchestra. Eric Zeisl’s Mondbilder (Moon Portraits): Four Songs on texts by Christian Morgenstern for baritone and orchestra receives its first performance since its 1936 premiere in Vienna. And the great Paul Schoenfield’s riotous “Four Parables for Piano and Orchestra” concludes the celebration with a virtuosic, high-spirited bang!
