Music Theory Midwest

1997 Eighth Annual Conference
Carleton Collge
16-18 May 1997 - Northfield, MN

MTMW 1997 Keynote Speaker: Peter Schickele

On Saturday, 17 May, at 1:30 p.m., Professor Peter Schickele --composer, musician, author, satirist--will deliver the keynote address: "The Path of Musical Progress, and Other Roads to Hell" Schickele will address what happened to contemporary classical music, and why it is listed as being in critical condition as the century draws to a close.
Peter Schickele is internationally recognized as one of the most versatile artists in the field of music. His works, now well in excess of 100 for symphony orchestras, choral groups, chamber ensembles, voice, movies, and television, have given him "a leading role in the ever-more-prominent school of American composers who unselfconsciously blend all levels of American music." (John Rockwell, The New York Times.) Schickele is perhaps best known as the musicologist credited for "discovering" the works of P.D.Q. Bach, and more recently as the host of his own public radio show "Schickele Mix." On Saturday at 8:00 p.m., a concert by the Renaissance group, Calliope will be presented featuring a new work by Schickele entitled "Bestiary."
