Beyond the Notes,<\/em>\u00a0Temple Library\u2019s Award-Winning Noontime Concert Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Presents:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Guitar Studio of Allen Krantz<\/p>\n

Bach to the Future: Three Centuries of Guitar Music<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Wednesday, November 11, 2015
\nNoon to 1:00 P.M.
\nPaley Library Lecture Hall<\/p>\n

Of all the instruments employed in Western music, the guitar has possibly the most diverse and unique history (spanning over 300 years!). In the music of the Americas, the classical guitar has been employed to great effect by such composers as Heitor Villa-Lobos, Manuel Ponce, and Elliot Carter. In Europe, Andr\u00e9s Segovia, Luciano Berio, and Ernst Krenek have popularized the instrument and composed guitar works which push the limits of technique. \u00a0The guitar has an incredibly wide range of repertoires, acoustical constructions, and geo-cultural associations; no other instrument \u2014 other than, perhaps, the flute \u2014 has such a vibrant presence in the musical lives of people across the globe. In the past, it has been a favorite instrument for such composers as Hector Berlioz and Ludwig van Beethoven, who praised the guitar as \u201ca miniature orchestra in itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matteo Carcassi, guitar virtuoso and pedagogue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But by no means is this instrument a relic. In assembling the program for the upcoming Beyond the Notes<\/em> concert, Allen Krantz<\/a> and his guitar students chose original works and transcriptions by such good ol\u2019 boys as J. S. Bach and Franz Joseph Haydn followed by the modern masters Toru Takemitsu and Krantz himself. Such an eclectic mixture is bound to have more variety than your typical chamber music concert program. Included in our gang of composers are Spanish pianist Joaquin Malats, Italian guitar virtuoso Mauro Giuliani, and nineteenth-century Italian composer and guitarist Matteo Carcassi. Giuliani in particular is a leading guitar figure of the turn of the nineteenth century, bringing some historical gravitas to the program. Carcassi, a contemporary of Franz Schubert, is responsible for the wealth of pedagogical material now available to students all over the world. If you are studying classical guitar at the college level, you have likely already worked on a few of his twenty-five etudes.<\/p>\n

All of the performers on this recital are members of Krantz\u2019s guitar studio at the Boyer College of Music and Dance. The group represents a healthy mixture of graduate and undergraduate students as well as a combined wealth of talent and musicianship. Not only have they prepared a far-reaching program of striking music, their performances are guaranteed to be equally as impressive, if not more (I have already heard a few of them myself). While you listen, I encourage you to indulge in the wealth of musical and cultural styles reflected in the contrast between performances of these works from Germany, Italy, Japan, the USA, and Spain. After all, it\u2019s rare that we get to hear Bach and Takemitsu on the same day!<\/p>\n
