A shameless plug for a concert of piano music composed and performed by Dave Smith.
On Saturday 7th April 6.30 pm at Schotts music publishers - 48 Great Marlborough Street, London W1F 7BB.

Programme includes a substantial new piece - The Myth of Sisyphus - as well as And with thy daring folly burn the world, 3 Kerala song arrangements, Instant Coma, Ethical Libertarian Scholars and Number Seven’s done a Runner.
Not an attempt to get all the bizarrely titled pieces in one concert .

England

According to the present Schotts journal, it is to be performed in Guangzhou on 24th September.
It consists of 8 songs on Chinese textsseparated by solo intermezzos played on the erhu.
Honest!

I attended the Oxford performance also and mighty impressive it was too.
As before, Jonathan put a great deal of effort making the fugues sound persuasive, particularly successfully with regard to the last one. The opening was certainly fast, approaching Yonty Solomon tempo - I rather like that approach. Also memorable was the Fantasia - which had never particularly struck me before. Most memorable of all was the brief Quasi Tambura section in the Passacaglia which featured an unusual and most extraordinary piano sound.

Not only was the page turner excellent, but he stood for the whole performance!

Interesting that we seem to have many different preferences.
I'm surprised to see only one reference to Lili Boulanger.

I'd add Mildred Couper (a pre-WW2 microtonalist), Sophie-Carmen (Sonia) Eckhardt-Gramatte (much interesting solo violin and solo piano music), Ruth Crawford and Johanna Beyer (pre-WW2 American pioneer/experimentalists), Rebecca Clarke (impressive post-romantic Brit) and Carla Bley (yes, the jazzer, a most original jazz composer).

Urban myth!

It's the last half of 4th July (Holidays Symphony).

Not clear if that's a "standard orchestral work".

Most unlikely. Gauk has just listened to the opera and didn't hear the tune which he recalls pretty vividly.

Gauk - 4 Saints was broadcast on Radio 3 on 1st September 1983: could this have been the broadcast you heard?

Thomson did compose another (later) opera with libretto by Gertrude Stein entitled The mother of us all. Given that they were good friends, one supposes that other settings of Stein's words were made. I did check a couple of worklists (he wrote a surprising amount), but they weren't informative enough.

There's a 1947 recording at http://www.kpfahistory.info/music/4_saints.html 

I don't know how complete it is (I hardly know the work myself).

seems to indicate a history of cuts + more cuts . . .

I regard Bloch as Swiss: Varese, Carlos Salzedo and Dane Rudhyar as American for no better reason that their music seems more readily linked to that of the so-called American "Pioneers" (Ives, Ruggles, Cowell, Crawford et al) than European models. Doesn't really make sense, I suppose.

Added to which, someone will point out that Bloch has a connection with both Ornstein (love of octatonicism) and Antheil whom he taught: compare the beginning of Bloch's 1st violin sonata with early 1920s Antheil . . .

At least the way Stern plays it . . .
