 Thanks for the Lobster & other Regina Music Box Favorites (2013)
Analog Arts
Thanks for the Lobster is a collection of music box recordings featuring instruments and discs that were built by the Regina company more than 100 years ago. Regina music boxes use flat discs instead of cylinders, and they were renowned for their sumptuous tone. The songs reflect the popular music from the late 19th century, ranging from hymns and marches to opera and musical comedy numbers, not to mention novelty songs like the title track. The arrangements have their own peculiar quirks as well, with an extraordinary amount of filigree on the melodies in order to show off the musical range of the music boxes. |
IRON COMPOSER
Iron Composer is a one-day composition contest that pits five composers against each other, with only five hours to compose a piece of music. The day begins at 9 a.m. with a musical puzzle. The composers are assigned an instrumentation and a secret musical ingredient. They are given a private studio and a box lunch, and they have to use their all of their wits and accumulated skills to complete the challenge in the time allotted.
Previous scorings have featured wind quintet, piano trio, solo organ, and a duo of cello and flute. The secret musical ingredient could be anything from a chord progression to a film clip. Iron Composer has used secret ingredients ranging from Hoyt Axton’s 4-note motif for The Jetsons, to Monet’s Impression, Sunrise, as well as an antique music box built in 1895.
The freshly composed pieces are rehearsed and performed on a public concert at 8 p.m., which is broadcast live on WCLV 104.9 FM and simulcast on www.wclv.com. The first prize is $500 and the title of “Iron Composer”!
Composers from around the world enter to compete in Iron Composer, which was created by Analog Arts in 2007. Since 2009, the contest has been presented on the campus of Baldwin Wallace University.
Past judges and emcees have included: Margaret Brouwer, Thomas Wilkins, Hal France, David Gompper, Loris Chobanian, Regina Mushabac, William Daugherty, and Jonathan Moyer.
Past competitors have included: Mari Takano, Yotam Haber, Caroline Mallonée, Marcus Maroney, David Carter, Joe Trapanese, Zvonimir Nagy, and Natalie Williams.
