SUMMARY:Village Composers and Stephen Dembski\, featuring soprano Sharon Harms
DESCRIPTION:Musically as important as Beethoven\,\nYet not regarded as such at all\nSo wrote Jack Kerouac in the 240th Chorus of Mexico City Blues\, speaking of Charlie “Bird” Parker\, whom he regarded as the perfect musician. But Jack’s love of jazz did not diminish his great love for classical music and his knowledge of it. His innate musicianship\, of course explains the music of his prose\, and his ability to improvise words to music\, as he did with his old friend David Amram. \nAs part of Jack Kerouac 100\, David gathers long-time friends – top-flight classical musicians with whom he has long worked and all of whom have played at Village Trip’s in the past – for an afternoon of music that inspired the great novelist\, and in turn inspires us. Works by J S Bach\, Claude Debussy and Erik Satie – and by David himself\, including a new composition commissioned to mark the centennial which receives its premiere at The Village Trip. \nUnaccompanied Suite\, J.S. Bach\nKen Radnofsky\, alto saxophone \nClaire de Lune\, Claude Debussy          \nYoshiko Kline\, piano \nGymnopédie No 1\, Eric Satie    \nYoshiko Kline\, piano \nThe Wind and the Rain\, David Amram  \nConsuelo Sherba\, viola; Yoshiko Kline\, piano \nGreenwich Village Portraits\, David Amram        \nKen Radnofsky\, alto saxophone; Yoshiko Kline\, piano \nAh\, Take Me Back to the Village*\, David Amram  \nElizabeth Farnum\, mezzo soprano; William Anderson and Oren Fader guitars \n*World Premiere Commissioned by the Robert Shapiro Fund for The Village Trip\, celebrating Jack Kerouac's 100th birthday. Text from Kerouac's The Lonesome Traveler \n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BUY TICKETS ON EVENTBRITE		\n			\n	\n\n\n	David Amram writes:\nJack's favorite composer was Bach\, just as he loved the writings of Dostoevsky\, Cervantes\, Victor Hugo\, Emily Bronte\, Beaudelaire\, Dylan Thomas\, Langston Hughes and Thomas Wolfe. Because he was a lyric poet who adored the classics of Europe as well as the wonders of the New\nWorld\, he embraced anything that touched his heart. \nLike Dante's use of the terza rima\, Jack saw and heard the beauty of every day vernacular speech as a lasting form of communicating. He could have been a professor of comparative literature. \nHe used that same discipline and love of storytelling and appreciation of people and places in all his formal writings\, the same way that the composers\, writers and artists of all genres have always done. \nAnd he did it in a way of his own that reflected his own sensibilities\, rather than being concerned about being fashionable or au courant. \nDecades before the intellectual establishment understood the importance of jazz and the cultures that created it\, Kerouac had an innate understanding of this music as a profound form of expression that was classical in its own way. \nHe was a natural musician and appreciated jazz\, French-Canadian folk lore\, Asian\, Native and Latin-American music\, and he could improvise words and music with ease. \nHe was an avatar for Spontaneity and Formality and was a joy to play with as well as to compose for. \nAnd as an author\, he wrote to engage the reader in the same way that improvising musicians of the 18th and 19th did when as composers – they wrote it down in the formal tradition try to make it feel natural\, so that other musicians could be guests in their world and have those who listened to them feel welcome. \nWe wrote several pieces together as well as those which we made up on the spot. Having set part of Lonesome Traveler in my cantata A Year in Our Land back in 1965 for four soloists\, chorus and orchestra\, it was a treat to revisit Lonesome Traveler fifty-five years later and set some of Jack's words to music again. \nThis splendid collection of his recollections and observations celebrates the Greenwich Village of the then and the Greenwich Village of now. \nI am grateful to have had the chance to compose it and hope it inspires all artists to collaborate\, work hard\, tell their own stories in their own way and hope for the best. \nDavid Amram\nAugust 10\, 2022\nBeacon NY \nJack Kerouac\, Dody Muller\, David Amram in New York City in 1959.

SUMMARY:CompCord Chamber Orchestra featuring Suzanne Vega:  Songs and Poems from the Village
DESCRIPTION:Musically as important as Beethoven\,\nYet not regarded as such at all\nSo wrote Jack Kerouac in the 240th Chorus of Mexico City Blues\, speaking of Charlie “Bird” Parker\, whom he regarded as the perfect musician. But Jack’s love of jazz did not diminish his great love for classical music and his knowledge of it. His innate musicianship\, of course explains the music of his prose\, and his ability to improvise words to music\, as he did with his old friend David Amram. \nAs part of Jack Kerouac 100\, David gathers long-time friends – top-flight classical musicians with whom he has long worked and all of whom have played at Village Trip’s in the past – for an afternoon of music that inspired the great novelist\, and in turn inspires us. Works by J S Bach\, Claude Debussy and Erik Satie – and by David himself\, including a new composition commissioned to mark the centennial which receives its premiere at The Village Trip. \nUnaccompanied Suite\, J.S. Bach\nKen Radnofsky\, alto saxophone \nClaire de Lune\, Claude Debussy          \nYoshiko Kline\, piano \nGymnopédie No 1\, Eric Satie    \nYoshiko Kline\, piano \nThe Wind and the Rain\, David Amram  \nConsuelo Sherba\, viola; Yoshiko Kline\, piano \nGreenwich Village Portraits\, David Amram        \nKen Radnofsky\, alto saxophone; Yoshiko Kline\, piano \nAh\, Take Me Back to the Village*\, David Amram  \nElizabeth Farnum\, mezzo soprano; William Anderson and Oren Fader guitars \n*World Premiere Commissioned by the Robert Shapiro Fund for The Village Trip\, celebrating Jack Kerouac's 100th birthday. Text from Kerouac's The Lonesome Traveler \n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BUY TICKETS ON EVENTBRITE		\n			\n	\n\n\n	David Amram writes:\nJack's favorite composer was Bach\, just as he loved the writings of Dostoevsky\, Cervantes\, Victor Hugo\, Emily Bronte\, Beaudelaire\, Dylan Thomas\, Langston Hughes and Thomas Wolfe.
