Free Downloads of Webern; Stream Schoenberg All Day Long
On antonwebern.com, you can download free recordings of Webern’s music. I have no idea if it’s legal; according to the site, the tracks are from Boulez’s Sony complete-works set.
In other Second Viennese School listening news, you can also stream Schoenberg 24 hours a day, thanks to the Arnold Schoenberg Institute.
Watch Koyaanisqatsi with Music by Philip Glass for Free
Love it or hate it, Koyaanisqatsi is now available to stream for free on YouTube. The commercial breaks are jarring, but it’s a great, free way to get your Philip Glass fix at work (or at home).
It’s also on Hulu.
A Free Concert on Sunday
Christ and St. Stephen’s Church on West 69th Street in Manhattan is a great place to hear music, and this weekend you check it out for free: the North/South Chamber Orchestra is performing some new music there on Sunday at 3 PM.
You’ll hear music by Sean Hickey. He’s a friend of mine, but also a composer worth knowing.
Learn the Entire History of Music in Disney ’50s-Cool Style
The people over at Open Culture are at it again. Today, they posted this Disney film from 1953, Toot, Whistle, Plunk, Boom. It’s Disney, it’s from the ’50s, but it’s definitely not square.
This is about 100 times more awesome than anything Leonard Bernstein did. Seeing this, having They Might Be Giants is doing on Disney’s music label with songs about science makes so much more sense. I still can’t explain Billy Ray Cyrus, though.
