Kenneth Woods is an American conductor and cellist. He is widely recognized for his interpretations of the works of Mahler, Haydn, Shostakovich, Beethoven, Bruckner and Hans Gál, and is acknowledged as an expert orchestra builder and conducting teacher.
Conducting career
Woods pursued his advanced conducting studies at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and also studied at leading summer institutes and workshops around the world. He studied conducting with Leonard Slatkin, David Zinman, Jorma Panula, Murry Sidlin, Robert Spano, and Gerhard Samuel.
Hailed (presumably in print on a specific date) by the Washington Post as an “up-and-coming conductor” and a “true star” of the podium, Woods is Music Director and Conductor of the Oregon East Symphony and Chorale. He also serves as the Principal Guest Conductor of the Rose City Chamber Orchestra and Music Director of Surrey Mozart Players. Woods has previously been an assistant conductor at the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the Cincinnati Pops.
Symphony No. 2, op. 19 is a three-movement work for orchestra by American composer Samuel Barber. The 25-minute work was originally written in 1944. The work underwent many revisions and was finally published in 1950. The original manuscript was withdrawn by Barber in 1964. He ordered that G. Schirmer destroy the original manuscript and all scores in their library. The work remained unpublished for many years until 1984 when a set of parts turned up in a warehouse in England. Renewed interest in Barber's work led to a 1990 reprint of the 1950 edition.
History
Composition
Samuel Barber began his composition career at the age of seven. He was accepted in the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music at age 14. He received critical acclaim for his early compositions including The School for Scandal and Adagio for Strings. His early success led to a commission from the United States Air Force in 1943 to write a "symphonic work about flyers". The request came soon after he joined the United States Army in 1942. Barber spent time at a U.S. Air Force base so that he could take part in flight training and battle simulations. He was given four months to write the piece with the understanding that the army would receive all of the royalties forever.
The Symphony No. 2, Op 40 by Malcolm Arnold is a symphony dating from 1953. Arnold composed the symphony on commission from the Bournemouth Winter Garden's Society. He dedicated the score to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and conductor Charles Groves, who premiered the work on 25 May 1953.
Commentators such as Donald Mitchell and Christopher Stasiak have noted Arnold's use of what they characterise as "Mahlerian clichés", or Mahlerian style and construction, in this symphony.
The Symphony No. 2 by the Polish composer Witold Lutosławski is an orchestral composition in two movements written between 1965 and 1967. The work exhibits Lutosławski's technique of "limited aleatoricism", where the individual instrumental parts are notated exactly, but their precise co-ordination is organised using controlled elements of chance.
Personal and musical transitions
Lutosławski wrote his Symphony No. 2 between 1965 and 1967. The preceding years had been a time of transition for him and for Poland. The Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin had seized control of the country in the aftermath of World War II, and the iron-fisted cultural dictation of the Communist government severely limited both the output of Polish composers and their exposure to musical developments in the outside world between the 1949 and 1954. Many pieces, including Lutosławski's first symphony, were condemned as formalist (focused on esoteric considerations of form rather than on speaking directly to the proletariat) and banned from public performance. In 1956 the Poles took advantage of Stalin's death to reform their government. The national ruling communist ideology became more liberal, especially regarding the arts.
During the American Civil War a Confederate officer who is also a Captain in the Union Cavalry is keeping Federal troops in the Colorado Territory from reinforcing their armies in the East by forming an alliance of secessionists, outlaws, and opportunists as well as arming hostile Indians. Unable to send more reinforcements, the United States Secret Service sends one man, Military intelligence officer Lieutenant Jerry Burke to identify who is behind the troubles and put an end to it. Armed with a sweeping letter of both law enforcement and military powers signed by President Abraham Lincoln Jerry meets his old comrade in arms Gabby to go west.
The Confederate/Union officer calling himself Donald Mason is actually Jerry's brother Donald. Donald escapes arrest but confronts his alliance that they are getting rich whilst he is doing all the work and facing all the danger. Donald takes over by shooting a corrupt Indian Affairs commissioner after informing him that the agent is no longer an asset but a liability.
Colorado is a side platformedRTDlight rail station in Denver, Colorado, United States. Operating as part of the E, F and H Lines, the station was opened on November 17, 2006, and is operated by the Regional Transportation District. The station is located next to the Colorado Center, a large movie theater and office building complex. Colorado features a public art sculpture entitled Big Boots, which was created by Ries Niemi and dedicated in 2006.
Jackson started photographing Colorado for the Hayden Survey to map the West in 1870. Jackson owned his own photography studio in Denver, which enabled him to make contacts with railroad companies. Jackson traveled all over the Colorado territory and later, the state of Colorado, for over 30 years. He even climbed Rocky Mountains peaks that are over 14,000 feet high in to capture his photographs for the survey. Jackson's photographs also depict various Colorado geological characteristics such as boulders and creeks. Due to the lack of railroads, Jackson did not photograph the eastern plains and northwestern Colorado. Jackson later sold his business and the negatives from his photos to a photography company in Detroit when Colorado's economy declined in the late 1890s.
Here we have from Samuel Barber (1910-1981) a thrilling orchestral work, one that almost didn't survive for our listening pleasure today. The composer sought to have his second symphony destroyed for reasons not completely known to us. However, a few years after Barber's death, the orchestra parts turned up in a warehouse in England. I'm glad they did.
The three-movement symphony was composed while Barber was serving in the Army Air Force in 1942. He visited an air force base in Texas and spent time talking with the pilots to get a sense of their experiences in the air. His symphony, therefore, draws at least some of its inspiration from these accounts of soaring in the clouds.

The entire thematic material for the whole symphony is laid out in the Molto moderato introduction of the first movement. The Allegro moderato section which follows is a further development of the introductory material, as is the more lyrical second subject. The movement ends with the sonorous theme which was first stated by the lower woodwinds at the beginning of the symphony. A typical performance of this movement lasts 16 minutes.
The second movement begins with an ostinato on harp and the flutes, which eventually develops into a beautiful melody that forms a basis for the development of the movement. A quotation of Bax's tone poem In Memoriam is used, and motifs are quoted from the opening movement of the symphony. A typical performance of this movement lasts 12 minutes.
The final movement continues to use the main thematic material, with a short Poco largamente introduction followed by a fast, furious Allegro feroce section. A direct quotation from the first movement is used, the main climax of the piece is reached just before the epilogue in which the symphony fades into unresolved tranquility. A typical performance of this movement lasts 11 minutes.

Here we have from Samuel Barber (1910-1981) a thrilling orchestral work, one that almost didn't survive for our listening pleasure today. The composer sought to have his second symphony destroyed for reasons not completely known to us. However, a few years after Barber's death, the orchestra parts turned up in a warehouse in England. I'm glad they did.
The three-movement symphony was composed while Barber was serving in the Army Air Force in 1942. He visited an air force base in Texas and spent time talking with the pilots to get a sense of their experiences in the air. His symphony, therefore, draws at least some of its inspiration from these accounts of soaring in the clouds.
Performed by Detroit Symphony Orchestra
Conducted by Neeme Järvi

Samuel Barber wrote his Symphony No. 2 during four months across 1942 and 1943 and dedicated it to the American Air Force. However, he withdrew the score and destroyed almost all its traces during the 1960’s. Nonetheless, some of it was rescued and restored as it presently exists.
Samuel Barber compuso su Sinfonía No. 2 durante 4 meses entre 1942 y 1943 y la dedicó a la Fuerza Aérea Estadounidense. No obstante, retiró la partitura de circulación y destruyó casi todas las copias en los años 60. Sin embargo, algunas partes fueron rescatadas y restauradas a como existe hoy.

Kenneth Woods is an American conductor and cellist. He is widely recognized for his interpretations of the works of Mahler, Haydn, Shostakovich, Beethoven, Bruckner and Hans Gál, and is acknowledged as an expert orchestra builder and conducting teacher.
Conducting career
Woods pursued his advanced conducting studies at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and also studied at leading summer institutes and workshops around the world. He studied conducting with Leonard Slatkin, David Zinman, Jorma Panula, Murry Sidlin, Robert Spano, and Gerhard Samuel.
Hailed (presumably in print on a specific date) by the Washington Post as an “up-and-coming conductor” and a “true star” of the podium, Woods is Music Director and Conductor of the Oregon East Symphony and Chorale. He also serves as the Principal Guest Conductor of the Rose City Chamber Orchestra and Music Director of Surrey Mozart Players. Woods has previously been an assistant conductor at the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the Cincinnati Pops.

0:00 - 1. Molto moderato - Allegro moderato
16:48 - 2. Andante
28:58 - 3. Poco largamente - Allegro feroce - Molto largamente
The Symphony No. 2 in E minor and C major by Arnold Bax was completed in 1926, after he had worked on it for two years. It was dedicated to Serge Koussevitzky, who conducted the first two performances of the work on 13 and 14 December 1929.
The opening movement is noted for its complex orchestration. The orchestra is unusually large for Bax, with the organ used just for pedals to add a dark effect. The entire thematic material for the whole symphony is laid out in the Molto moderato introduction of the first movement. The Allegro moderato section which follows is a further development of the introductory material, as is the more lyrical second subject. The movement ends with the sonorous theme which was first stated by the lower woodwinds at the beginning of the symphony. A typical performance of this movement lasts 16 minutes.
The second movement begins with an ostinato on harp and the flutes, which eventually develops into a beautiful melody that forms a basis for the development of the movement. A quotation of Bax's tone poem In Memoriam is used, and motifs are quoted from the opening movement of the symphony. A typical performance of this movement lasts 12 minutes.
The final movement continues to use the main thematic material, with a short Poco largamente introduction followed by a fast, furious Allegro feroce section. A direct quotation from the first movement is used, the main climax of the piece is reached just before the epilogue in which the symphony fades into unresolved tranquility. A typical performance of this movement lasts 11 minutes.

Honte à toi qui la première m'a appris la trahison, Et d'horreur et de colère m'a fait perdre la raison, Et d'horreur et de colère m'a fait perdre la raison. Honte à toi femme à l'oeil sombre, dont les funestes amours, Ont enseveli dans l'ombre mon printemps et mes beaux jours, Ont enseveli dans l'ombre mon printemps et mes beaux jours. C'est ta voix, c'est ton sourire, c'est ton regard corrupteur, Qui m'ont appris à maudire jusqu'au semblant du bonheur, Qui m'ont appris à maudire jusqu'au semblant du bonheur. C'est ta jeunesse, c'est tes charmes qui m'ont fait desespérer, Et si je doute des larmes c'est que je t'ai vu pleurer, Et si je doute des larmes c'est que je t'ai vu pleurer. Honte à toi, j'étais encore, aussi simple qu'un enfant, Comme une fleur à l'aurore mon coeur s'ouvrait en t'aimant, Comme une fleur à l'aurore mon coeur s'ouvrait en t'aimant. Certes ce coeur sans défense, pu sans peine être abusé, Mais lui laisser l'innocence etait encore plus aisé, Mais lui laisser l'innocence etait encore plus aisé. Honte à toi, qui fut la mer de mes premieres douleurs, Et tu fis de ma paupiere jaillir la source des pleurs, Et tu fis de ma paupiere jaillir la source des pleurs. Elle coule sois en sûr et rien ne la tarira, Elle sort d'une blessure qui jamais ne guerira, Elle sort d'une blessure qui jamais ne guerira. Mais dans cette source amere, du moins je me laverais, Et j'y laisserai j'espere ton souvenir aborré, Et j'y laisserai j'espere ton souvenir aborré, Et j'y laisserai j'espere ton souvenir aborré.
