The collection includes published rally songs and songsters written and compiled by notable composers and suffragists, as well as music manuscripts submitted for copyright deposit by everyday citizens.

Abdullah Ibrahim & Larry Appelbaum in Conversation Abdullah Ibrahim talks with Larry Appelbaum about jazz as part of the Library of Congress Jazz Scholars program. Abdullah Ibrahim Concert Jazz pianist and composer Abdullah Ibrahim celebrated his Library of Congress residency with a captivating concert that left the audience in awe of his authenticity as a performer. A onetime protégé of Duke Ellington, Ibrahim has become a cultural icon in his native South Africa, through his commitment to expanding music education opportunities and developing the nation’s unique jazz scene. Maria Schneider & Larry Applebaum in Conversation Jazz artist Maria Schneider discusses her approach to the creative process and her collaboration with David Bowie in an interview with Larry Appelbaum. Recorded in conjunction with the world premiere of Schneider's Library of Congress commission "Data Lords," presented in association with the Reva and David Logan Foundation. Maria Schneider Concert Maria Schneider’s music has been hailed by critics as “evocative, majestic, magical, heart-stoppingly gorgeous, and beyond categorization.” The multiple GRAMMY® award-winning composer and bandleader spent a packed week at the Library on the spring of 2016 for a special residency project. On the agenda were explorations of the Library’s treasure trove of scores and memorabilia, plus workshops for students and conversations with curators. Schneider conducted her terrific orchestra—a crack 17-member collective made up of many of the finest jazz musicians performing —and unveiled her new Library of Congress commission, created through the support of the Reva and David Logan Foundation, in memory of David Logan. A Conversation With Dafnis Prieto and Larry Appelbaum Host of WPFW's "Sound of Surprise" Larry Appelbaum of the Library of Congress' Music Division, interviews Dafnis Prieto.

Mark Padmore, tenor | Andrew West, piano English tenor Mark Padmore is one of the most revered artists on the international touring scene, and was recognized with the 2016 Musical America Vocalist of the Year Award.

en Pick of the Weekend from Concerts from the Library of Congress By content.govdelivery.com Published On :: Fri, 01 May 2020 08:00:22 -0500 May 1, 2020 MUSIC NEWS CONTACT US Chucho Valdés in Conversation On Saturday, October 16, 2019, Concerts from the Library of Congress hosted Afro-Cuban jazz master, Chucho Valdés. Founder and director of the legendary Cuban jazz band Irakere, winner of six GRAMMYs and four Latin GRAMMYs, Chucho Valdés is not just an authority in the jazz world, he is a living legend. This Pick of the Week features Chucho Valdés in conversation with Music Specialist, Claudia Morales. In this fun and intimate conversation, Chucho Valdés reacts to some treasures from our music collections that include music composed by his father, one of the most representative musicians in the history of Cuban music, pianist and composer, Bebo Valdés. He also reacts to a photo of him and the American drummer Max Roach from the Max Roach Papers housed in the Music Division. Chucho’s reaction to the materials was simply heartwarming. No one talks to Chucho Valdés without talking about Irakere. I had so many questions to ask, but I was primarily interested in learning about his experience with religious syncretism, the merging of two or more religions in a new belief, as an element of his music. Chucho told me about his exposure to Santeria through his grandfather and to the Catholic church through his grandmother, and how he mixed these elements with jazz and funk to create the Timba Cubana. We concluded the interview with the question: what would you say to the new generation of musicians? Chucho’s answer was the summary of the musician that he is; he mentioned discipline as the number one characteristic a musician must have. Discipline plus passion for music have spurred this now 79-year-old Afro-Cuban jazz master to continue his musical journey that includes writing an opera, touring around the globe with a robust calendar of performances, and now, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, connecting with his audience via online recitals on social media. I invite you to watch and enjoy Chucho Valdés in conversation. Click this link to view Chucho Valdés in conversation Donate to Friends of Music Full Article
