September 2014 - Featured Playlist: Fiery Fiestas and Summer Siestas

Each month, Naxos Music Library will present a themed playlist for our subscribers to enjoy. We know that a database of nearly 1.5 million tracks can be a bit daunting, so we'd like to highlight some of the amazing music that is available to you. Let it kickstart discovery!

This month, our theme is Fiery Fiestas and Summer Siestas. This playlist features pieces by composers from around the Spanish-speaking world and music boasting that certain unmistakeably Latin flair. Get up and dance, or dodge the last of the summer sun with a nap in the shade, and revel in this life-filled set of works.

To hear the playlist, access NML as usual, go to the Playlists section, and select the Playlist of the Month folder under the Naxos Music Library Playlists tab. If you are on your institution's premises, you may also be able to access it if you CLICK HERE.


1.  Alberto Ginastera - Estancia, Op. 8, Scene 5: Danza Final - Malambo -- Born and raised in Argentina, Ginastera found much of his inspiration from his country's legendary gauchos. He was all of 25 years old when he completed his ballet Estancia in 1941, and this Malambo contains every last bit of that youthful energy. Play this one loud!

 

2.  Arturo Márquez - Danzón No. 2 -- Márquez was born in Mexico but emigrated to Southern California as a child. His work was popular in Latin America, but it was his series of Danzónes that brought him wider acclaim. Danzón No. 2 was debuted in Mexico City in 1994 and is an explosive work for orchestra that also takes the time to feature solos from several instruments.

3.  José Pablo Moncayo - Huapango -- Premiered in 1941, Huapango is Moncayo's best-known work, a brilliantly colorful mariachi dance for orchestra. His death in 1958, at 46 years of age, is considered to mark the end of the Mexican nationalist movement in classical music, one shared with Carlos Chávez and Silvestre Revueltas.

 
4. Osvaldo Golijov - St Mark Passion: XIX. Agonía -- Golijov, an Argentinian of Jewish descent, was initially hesitant to undertake a commission for a Passion setting, but eventually he accepted the job. The crowd at the premiere in 2000 was shocked by its radical departure from tradition, but ultimately gave it a 25-minute standing ovation. Called "the first indisputably great composition of the 21st century" by The Boston Globe, it incorporates a number of Latin musical styles and vocal techniques to stunning effect.

5. Narciso Saúl - Suite for Harp and Guitar: II. Como Agua -- Saúl is a guitarist and professor who has specialized in the origins of Argentinian folk music. He also performs and composes for a popular tango group. This lovely, mesmerizing piece is performed by the harp/guitar duo to whom it was dedicated.

 
 6. Enrique Granados - Capricho Español -- Granados is probably best known for his piano compositions, of which Capricho Español is quite representative. He had reached the pinnacle of his career when, in 1916, upon returning to Spain from appearances in the U.S., his ship was torpedoed by a German U-boat. Granados, who was terrified of water, perished when he leapt from safety in an attempt to rescue his drowning wife.
 
7. Ástor Piazzolla - Aconcagua: I. Allegro marcato -- Considering abandoning the tango for classical composition, Piazzolla was encouraged by Nadia Boulanger to stay with it. Inspired once more, he went on to be a major player in nuevo tango, which incorporated greater harmonic complexity and elements of jazz and classical music. His Concerto for Bandoneón, String Orchestra, and Percussion, nicknamed "Aconcagua", is an emotional work composed in 1979, during one of the most creatively exciting periods of his life.
 
8. Joaquín Turina - Danzas fantásticas, Op. 22: I. Exaltación -- Turina was born in Seville but moved to Paris as a young man, where he befriended countryman Manuel de Falla and come to know Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy. Danzas fantásticas, his most famous work, was composed in Madrid in 1919 and dedicated to his wife, Obdulia.


9. Emmanuel Chabrier - España -- Chabrier may be French, but his best-known work, composed in the dance style called jota, was inspired by a visit to Spain. While Chabrier himself described it as "a piece in F and nothing more", it was heralded by Mahler as "the start of modern music" and de Falla as a more genuine version of the jota than he'd heard from any Spanish composer.


10. Silvestre Revueltas - 3 Piezas: II. Lentamente -- Born on the final day of the 1800s, Revueltas is known as one of the primary figures in the Mexican nationalist movement of the early 20th century. He is remembered mostly for his orchestral work Sensemayá and his film scores, but it's hard to resist his 3 Piezas for violin and piano. The second movement, featured here, is achingly gorgeous.
 
11. Gabriela Ortiz - Concierto Candela: II. Candela Nocturno -- Ortiz is a contemporary composer who combines Mexican folk music and jazz elements with both avant garde and more accessible classical styles. Her Concierto Candela, for percussion and orchestra, is a colorful, mystical work that shows her to be a current composer to watch.


12. Joaquín Rodrigo - Toccata -- Rodrigo, nearly blind from the age of three, is best known for his compositions for guitar, yet he did not play the instrument himself, opting to compose in Braille for an assistant to transcribe. While his most famous work is the Concierto de Aranjuez for guitar and orchestra, he left much for the solo guitarist, including the Toccata featured here. His life spanned nearly the entire 20th century, and over that time he was awarded many of the highest accolades Spain had to offer to civilians.


We hope you enjoy digging into this playlist, and that you find it to be a springboard to discovering new favorites that will stick with you for much time to come. Happy listening!

Good News, Graduates: Enjoy NML After College!

 

Naxos Online Libraries would like to congratulate the graduating class of 2014 for a job well done! It’s certainly a momentous occasion in your life, the end of one chapter and the beginning of another in your story. We wish the best of good fortune in your future, wherever it takes you!

While graduation means losing many of the perks of college life, we’d just like to let you know that it doesn’t have to mean the end of your access to all the tremendous music we have to offer. Once life has settled down and you’ve found your new home, consider these three ways you can continue to enjoy Naxos Music Library:

An increasing number of public libraries are now making NML available to their patrons, and this could include yours! Check with your local library to see if they include NML among their online streaming resources. And if not, be sure to let them know it’s missed; libraries are always open to adding online resources they know their patrons will use.

Also, if you live in a city lucky enough to feature a quality symphony orchestra, they may offer NML access as a perk for purchasing a season pass. If you’re already on the fence about buying one, this could well be the deciding factor. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy incredible music both live at the concert hall and through our massive collection online.

Finally, if your local public library or orchestra doesn’t make it available to members, our friends over at InstantEncore offer access to Naxos Music Library at a great low monthly rate, one perfect for a fresh-out-of-college budget. Find out more here!

The end of school doesn’t have to mean the end of all this wonderful music. Whether through your local library, orchestra, or InstantEncore, Naxos Music Library remains available to you. Venture forward into your exciting future, and know that we are there to help provide the soundtrack!

Naxos Music Library Introduces New Media Player

Naxos Music Library is excited to announce the  release of a brand new media player! Here she is: (drum roll please...)

Created in HTML5, this new player sidesteps limitations of the old Flash player and makes room for further growth in the future. So aside from the sleek new design, what exactly does the new player offer?

1. More mobile accessibility. HTML5 cooperates far better with mobile devices than Flash does. Is a mobile app not yet available for your tablet or phone? For most users, this new player will work through your main mobile internet connection—no app needed! Simply log in and access music on your mobile internet browser just as you would on your computer.

2. More track information. The HTML5 player displays more information for each track, allowing you to find just the one you need. This is especially helpful when streaming, say, a disc or playlist full of Vivaldi works where half the tracks are simply titled “Allegro.” Now track lists in the player will include the rest of the work title so you can quickly identify which of those Allegros is THE Allegro.

3. More flexibility in player size. Previously, the player stayed the same size no matter how you expanded the window. Now, the player design adjusts to better fit the size of the window.

The dirty details: Our new HTML5 player is supported in the following browser versions.  If you're not seeing the new player, it's likely you're running an older version of your browser.  A quick update should allow you to enjoy NML's new experience right away!

MARC. XML Records Update - Q4 2013

The Naxos Music Library team is pleased to provide the next update to the NML MARC.XML file!  Based on the wonderful feedback from Lisa Peddey and others throughout the world, we've made some improvements to the records.  The full change-log appears below.

Naxos Music Library - MARC.XML Segmented by Month

One noteworthy change in data delivery is the way the records are now sorted.  Previously, the records were delivered by year.  Now, we're packaging the records by month by year.  This allows for easy catch-up or updating should you miss a portion of the files. 

Remember, each update arrives quarterly, so if you updated your records in October 2013, you'll want to import only the October, November, and December 2013 folders. 

Have specific questions not answered here, or feedback for a better experience?  Don't hesitate to contact us anytime!
