Requiem - Pie Jesu

Andrew Lloyd Webber, Composer
Ryan Dodge, Arranger
Trevor Nuckols, Horn
David Ball, Piano

Pie Jesu from Requiem was dedicated to Andrew’s father, William Lloyd Webber, who had died in 1982. The composition achieved a Grammy Award in 1986 in the category of best classical composition. Perhaps surprisingly given the classical nature of the work, the Pie Jesu from Requiem climbed to the top of the popular music charts in Great Britain.

All I Ask Of You

All November we gotta RAISE THE CURTAIN & BELT THE CHORUS! It’s musical films all month long and today’s discussion got a lot of news and attention during its production back in 1996. MTV, still in the music video game back then, helped push this beloved Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber project because its star is none other the the iconic pop diva, Madonna. Stage purists of “EVITA” always have Patti Lupone’s vibrant renditions in their heart but for the film adaptation by Alan Parker in 1996, Madonna really wanted the role and felt a connection to the beloved First Lady of Argentina. Webber even wrote a new song for the film that helped define a point in Madonna’s career. The press helped make EVITA a hit, but how does it hold up amongst the great musical adaptations when we look back? I’ll just say that Antonio Banderas looked like Orson Welles opposite Madonna who had her moments but lacked a lot of expression. Also, are the Argentines annoyed that Jonathan Pryce (a Brit) played Juan Peron since that whole Falklands thing went down? This really made us want to get some South American history books at least. This is Bob’s first exposure to the Andrew Lloyd Webber style. It’s a lot to take in for a man who has only seen six musicals up to this point. We will see how “EVITA” fares all these years later.

Evita (1996)

It’s musicals month for November’s theme and hitting up Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber again because it’s time to go to church though we can’t tell what denomination this is. It’s pretty sweaty but there are some baddies hanging around. A little gay, to be expected, but the band is pretty sick. They’re all the band. This is what Nazarenes wish their services were like. It’s two thousand years ago by way of the 1970s in this rock opera retelling of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We’re jamming to Norman Jewison’s 1973 film adaptation of “JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR” and it stars Ted Neeley (who crushes it) Carl Anderson (who steals the show) and Yvonne Elliman (who can get it). Then you got your Pauls, your Pharisees, your Herods and your Pilates and the timeless tale has never been told like this. We didn’t know this at the time but Yvonne Elliman had some disco hits as well. She also hooked up with Eric Clapton but nobody’s perfect. But anyway…Jesus. He’s just a man, right? Why does he scare them so? Check the link here if you want to see it: https://archive.org/details/jeesus-kristus-superstaar-1973-compressed

"Nawet lubię musicale"
Podcast Teatru Syrena – zaprasza Jacek Mikołajczyk

O teatrze, w którym się gra, śpiewa i tańczy, czasem nawet jednocześnie, wie nawet całkiem dużo. Pisze o nim książki, artykuły, uczy o nim, tłumaczy dla niego piosenki, reżyseruje jego spektakle. Maniakalnie ogląda wszystko, co w tym teatrze wyprodukuje się w Polsce i na świecie. I ciągle nie przestaje go lubić.

Jacek Mikołajczyk, dyrektor artystyczny Teatru Syrena, zaprasza na swój podcast. Opowiada w nim o tym wszystkim, co w musicalu jest NAJ – NAJwiększe, NAJciekawsze, NAJdziwniejsze, NAJbardziej przebojowe. O Broadwayu i okolicach. O twórcach i widzach. O producentach. O musicalowych skandalach i sensacjach. O musicalach.

Odcinek 51 - Przełomowe dzieło Andrew Lloyd Webbera. Jedna z największych rewolucji w historii musicalu, której dokonał dzięki spektaklowi o kotach. Bez fabuły, bez akcji. Przy okazji pokonał musical amerykański na jego świętej ziemi - na Broadwayu.

Nawet lubię musicale: Koty #51

An amateur composer, among other things.
Formerly known as Sylasyzer.

He won the Gold Medal at the Vienna International Music Competition, First Prize at the International Horn Society's Premiere Soloist Competition, the North International Music Competition, Music Academy of the West Concerto Competition, and the Juilliard Concerto Competition.

A passionate believer in the art of collaboration, Nuckols co-founded Duo Corgano, with friend & organist David Ball, while students at The Juilliard School. Their repertoire expands from ancient music to contemporary works and is performed in both sacred and secular spaces. They frequently perform works & arrangements by living composers including Daniel Ficarri, Ryan Dodge, John Rutter, & Hans Zimmer.  Their rigorous research provides new information and understanding about the historical knowledge of the time periods and showcases the exquisite beauty of their respective instruments that enable people to freely enjoy the aesthetic and spiritual delicacy of the works they perform.

Nuckols is devoted to exploring, preserving, and honoring the legacy of sacred works, early music, and the history of the horn. Compiling a massive archive of historical texts, artwork, manuscripts, photographs, recordings, and instruments, Nuckols aims to preserve the sounds and traditions of the horn and inspire the current & future generations of music lovers, music scholars, and horn players through master classes, lectures, recordings, and live performance. His key inspirations for horn playing include Aubrey Brain, Dennis Brain, Gottfried von Freiberg, Roland Berger, Barry Tuckwell, Ifor James, Vladimíra Klánská, Arvīds Klišāns, Peter Damm, Teunis van der Zwart, & Erwin Wieringa.

Nuckols is a graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy, earned his Bachelor & Master of Music degrees on a full scholarship from The Juilliard School, and received Postgraduate Studies from the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg. His teachers include Michael Corcoran, Gene Berger, R. J. Kelley, Jens McManama, & Radovan Vlatković. He performs exclusively on a custom Alexander B flat horn and a Raoux Millereau piston horn.

Death to all traitors

My name is Michael Shannon.  This page is to share 
my music.

I write, record and produce all of my own music.  I've been creating music ever since I picked up a guitar at age 16.  I admire musicians who constantly push themselves out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves to be better artists.  This page will document my attempts to grow as an artist.  Hope you enjoy the music.

Teatr Syrena został założony w 1945 r. w Łodzi przez grupę artystów przedwojennego kabaretu z Jerzym Jurandotem i Stefanią Grodzieńską na czele. Po trzech latach przeniósł się do Warszawy, gdzie działa przy ul. Litewskiej 3. Obecnie Syrena jest nowoczesnym teatrem musicalowym, w repertuarze łączy polskie wersje przebojów Broadwayu i West Endu („Rodzina Addamsów”, „Next to normal”, "Matylda") z autorskimi musicalami ("Kapitan Żbik i żółty saturator", "Bitwa o tron", "Piplaja").
