S. Bach's Saint John Passion for a concert at the Gallery in March 2010, while the exhibition was on view. Visitors reported being similarly moved by both the music and the art, though the art reflected religious life in 16th-century Spain and the music reflected religious life in 18th-century Germany. http://brightcove.vo.llnwd.net/pd20/media/1191289016001/1191289016001_1414016824001_092011.mp3 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 08:00:00 EST 36:22 passion, bach, music, standford, chamber, chorale, chatham, baroque National Gallery of Art Dan Franklin Smith, pianist Program: Music for solo piano by Brubeck, Chopin, Copland, Gershwin, and Previn.

Venice was abounding with musical as well as artistic talent at this time, as attested by the large number of composers and the high quality of the music featured in these concerts. http://brightcove.vo.llnwd.net/pd20/media/1191289016001/1191289016001_1414016829001_071911.mp3 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 08:00:00 EST 48:26 canaletto, Rivals National Gallery of Art National Gallery of Art Vocal Arts Ensemble and Chamber Players Program: Music for Advent and Christmas by Bach, Buxtehude, and Praetorius.

This piece of music, composed by Stephen Hough for the exhibition The Sacred Made Real: Spanish Painting and Sculpture, 1600–1700, is based on the 1605 Requiem by the great Spanish composer Tomás Luís de Victoria. Stephen Hough recast and reworked this requiem, reimagining its six voices for a string sextet. He selected five sections to make five movements: the fourth movement (Versa est) is a simple transcription with nothing altered; the first movement (Tadeat animum) takes the four-part original and floats it around the six instruments in antiphonal waves; the second movement (Kyrie eleison) keeps all the notes the same but changes their register–removing the linear mosaic of the vocal lines and making them soar and plunge in jagged, overlapping intervals. The third (Graduale) movement is more radically altered. The final, longest movement (Libera me) reproduces the polyphonic sections fairly faithfully, but takes the original plainsong interludes as if themes for variations in various modern styles. http://brightcove.vo.llnwd.net/pd20/media/1191289016001/1191289016001_1425788544001_022310.mp3 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 08:00:00 EST 24:23 hough, spanish, sculpture National Gallery of Art National Gallery Wind Quintet Program: Music from the 19th century that explores "The Darker Side of Light."
