SUMMARY:Early Music Workshop: Plucked Strings and the History of Arrangement
DESCRIPTION:Early Music Workshop: Plucked Strings and the History of Arrangement\nA word often heard from proponents of the early music movement was authenticity (especially in the early years). Music should be played\, they insisted\, on the instrument(s) for which it was composed–ideally surviving original instruments of the period\, or\, at a minimum\, faithful copies of those instruments. Even pitch\, stringing materials\, and much more\, were often prescribed. “Arrangements? But why\, with so much wonderful repertoire in its original form?” \n\nBut from the earliest surviving prints and manuscripts\, we see that transcriptions formed a significant body of music–with composers going so far as to transcribe opera overtures for solo theorbo (or a 19th-century guitar)! \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop will explore historical examples of arrangements for plucked strings and invite participants to try playing surviving transcriptions as well as investigating how to make their own. \n\n\nSchedule : \n\n\n\n10 – 11am: Lecture on surviving plucked-string arrangements from the 1500’s to the 19th century.\n11am to noon: Masterclass. Registered participants will be sent sample arrangements at least two weeks in advance\, but are free to bring arrangements that they have found or made.\nBreak for lunch\n1 – 2:30pm: Hands-on class on making arrangements. Sample works will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to bring works of their own choosing. We will explore:\n\nFinding works suitable for arrangement for your instrument\nSelecting suitable keys\nTips on where ‘trimming the fat’ from a ‘candidate piece’ doesn’t hurt the finished product.\n\n\n2:30 to 3pm: Question and answer session\n\n\n\n—\n\nThis workshop is available for students ages 14+\n\nRegistration is required\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Elevator to the Gallows | WMPG Jazz at the Movies
DESCRIPTION:WMPG’s Jazz at The Movies and the Portland Conservatory of Music are proud to present Louis Malle’s classic film noir film Elevator to the Gallows with the incredible improvised score by Miles Davis on Saturday\, Oct. 12th. \nDirector Louis Malle’s first feature film Ascenseur pour L’Echafaud is a1958 crime thriller shot at night in Paris in B&W. With its innovative cinematography techniques\, it heralded the arrival of the French New Wave. Film critic Roger Ebert called Malle’s Elevator “a noir masterpiece.” \nElevator to the Gallows was Miles Davis’ first film score\, and was recorded by the trumpeter in an entirely unrehearsed and improvised session while he was in Paris. His haunting and lyrical playing on Elevator mark Miles Davis’s first foray into modal jazz\, and a hint of what was to come\, his brilliant jazz masterpiece Kind of Blue one year later. \nElevator To The Gallows is a treat for both the eyes and the ears. Come join us for this fabulous French flick and its stunning jazz score Saturday\, October 12th\, 7 PM\, at The Portland Conservatory of Music\, 28 Neal St.\, in Portland. Admission is FREE.

SUMMARY:The Kid Brother (1927) | Kinonik
DESCRIPTION:Harold Lloyd\, these days\, is the least known of the “Big Three” silent comedians\, overshadowed by Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. But in the 1920s he was the most successful\, achieving the highest pay among silent film stars. He was known for his “Glasses Character” which embodied a resourceful and optimistic persona fitting the 1920s spirit\, much like Jimmy Stewart in the 1940s or Tom Hanks in the 1990s. \nIn The Kid Brother\, the most important family in Hickoryville is (naturally enough) the Hickorys\, including Sheriff Jim and his tough\, manly sons Leo and Olin. The timid youngest son Harold doesn’t have the muscles to match up to them\, so he must use his wits to win the respect of his strong father–and also the love of beautiful Mary. The Kid Brother is a male version of the Cinderella story; Harold\, the drudge of his family\, lacks the size and strength of his father and brothers and is ordered about by all of them – only to prove the hero and win Mary’s love. \nHarold Lloyd always claimed this to be his favorite among all his films\, and\, in later years\, he proudly screened the film in selected theaters and at film schools. \nLive musical accompaniment will be performed by Carolyn Swartz playing the fabulous grand piano at the Portland Conservatory of Music. As always\, projected from a 16mm film print. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree forms by\n\n\n\n\nTickets
