Bibb was raised in a music-filled household as family friends in the 1950s and 1960s included Pete Seeger Odetta Bob Dylan and the late Paul Robeson who was named Eric?s godfather. Bibb got his first steel guitar at age seven and he got some advice from Dylan that he never forgot to ?keep it simple forget all that fancy stuff.? When he was 16 his father asked him to play guitar in the house band for his TV talent show Someone New.In 1970 Eric left New York City forParis where he met with guitarist Mickey Baker. There he began to focus on blues guitar and after moving to Stockholm he became enamored with prewar blues. A breakout performance at the 1996 London Blues Festival catapulted Eric to a higher level of visibility. Since then he has toured the world performing at concert halls and major festivals. He has toured with Robert Cray Keb Mo Corey Harris and even opened shows for Ray Charles.Eric earned a Grammy nomination for his collaboration (with Taj Mahal and others) on the children?s record SHAKIN? A TAILFEATHER. His album PAINTING SIGNS was recognized by New Age Voice as a Finalist for Best Folk Album of 2001. He joined Maria Muldaur and Rory Block to record the gospelflavored SISTERS & BROTHERS and then released FRIENDS a collection of duets with Taj Mahal Odetta and others. He has been nominated for many W.C. Handy Awards in a variety of categories. Eric?s rich and sensitive vocals and lyrics provide a perfect balance to his fine fingerpicking technique. Purveying a beautifully realized and deftly accomplished soulful folk-blues Eric has no problem blending various genres effortlessly melding a traditional rootsy American style with a subtle contemporary sensibility.

I Will Bow And Be Simple from 'Three Shaker Tunes' arranged by Betty Jacobson for SSA choir with Piano accompaniment.'The form of worship practiced by the Shakers in New England has been a subject of curiosity for more than a century and a half. The Shakers originated in the English Quaker Church and came to America in 1774 and settled in New England and in New York state. They still exist in some communities in these territories.The Shaker songs took on a lively spontaneity and a cross between Quaker orderliness and wild abandonment that characterised the rituals of the French prophets from whom the Shakers distantlystemmed.The Shakers exercised in dancing shaking and whirling until they went into trances and 'recieved songs as gifts.'The songs are derived from 'spirit manifestations' and all have individual types of rhythms and texts.' - Edward D. Andrews from 'Shaker Songs' The Musical Quarterly October 1937

Webs In A Stolen Dream for Chamber Ensemble (1996). Written for The Nordic Music Season in the UK as a joint commission from the Storstrøm’s Ensemble Avanti Sonanza Cikada Ensemble and the Composer’s Ensemble. Programme Note Ever since the first time I read György Ligeti’s description of a particular dream he had as a child this dream has pursued me. Both because for some strange reason it is impossible to get rid of and because I literally spoken ’dream it’ myself now and then. He writes among other things: ’In my earliest childhood I once dreamt that I couldn’t reach my bed (which had bars and was regarded as a safe place of refuge). For the whole room was filled with a thin but dense web very much like the web which the silk butterfly’s caterpillar is spun in. Not only I but also other beings were caught in this gigantic net. When something moved this made a shaking which spread to the whole system. All around inextricable knots were made and at other places cavities where rags of the original web substance was drifting about. The changes of the system were irrevocable: no condition could possibly come back. There was something extremely sad about this process the feeling of hopelessness because of the expiring time and the past which could never be re-made’ In my short piece I only move a little hesitating distance into this equivocal world where the beauty of the silk thin net is so totally grown together with the feeling of decay loss and ’gone time’.

Howlin' Wolf was a musical giant in every way. He stood 6' 3' wore size 16 shoes had skin so dark it shined like silver and poured out his darkest sorrows in a voice that sounded like a rampaging chainsaw. Half a century after his first hits Wolf's sound still terrifies and inspires. Born Chester Arthur Burnett in 1910 the Wolf survived a grim childhood and hard scrabble youth as asharecropper in Mississippi. He began his career playing and singing in perilous juke joints with the first Delta blues stars in the 1930s and 1940s. He was present at the birth of rock 'n' roll in Memphis and helped define the sound of electric blues in Chicago in the 1950s and 1960s. Heended his career performing and recording with the world's most famous rock stars in the 1970s. His passion for music kept him performing-despite devastating physical problems-until his death in 1976. This DVD shows Howlin' Wolf prowling on stage at the first Washington D.C. Blues Festival in November 1970 supported by his top-notch band. Hear him moan his earth-shaking blues and watch his unforgettable stage antics and you'll see why Sam Phillips who also discovered Elvis Presley Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis - called Howlin' Wolf his greatest discovery.

Score-Although in its own way an example of 'continuous' music Shaker Loops differs from most other works of its kind because it sees so much change within a relatively short amount of time. Also it avoids the formal and temporalpurity of much 'minimal' music by not adhering to a single unbending tempo throughout allowing for a freer movement from one level of energy to another.The 'loops' are melodic material assigned to the seven instruments each of a different length and which when heard together result in a constantly shifting play amongst the parts. The four sections although they meld together evenly are really quite distinct each being characterised by aparticular style of string playing. The outside movements are devoted to 'shaking' - fast tightly rhythmicised motion of the bow across the strings. The 'slews' of Part 2 are slow languid glissandi heard floating within analmost motionless pool of stationary sound whereas Part 3 is essentially melodic with cellos playing long lyrical lines (also loops) against a background of muted violins.

Par GRIFFIN FRAN. Snow Gum by Fran Griffin for Two Flutes and Guitar. Alto and Bass Flutes are required for the performance of this piece. From the composer: 'In the wilderness of the Australian Alps, there is only one tree, the Snow Gum (eucalyptus pauciflora) that lives above 1600 metres. Snow Gums are experiencing severe dieback, caused by attack by a native beetle. Strangely, the beetle and the Snow Gums have coexisted for thousands of years, but now the Snow Gums are no longer able to withstand the hunger of the beetles. As yet the reasons for this are unknown. Huge areas of these once magnificent and colourful trees now stand grey and dead. In this piece I am depicting the gnarled and twisted trunks of the still living trees with their wonderfully coloured bark, in contrast to the ruggedness and desolation of the terrain. One can hear the alpine wind rushing through the leaves and branches, shaking snow to the ground.' / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / 2 Flûtes et Guitare

'It is difficult to describe the transformation that took place as this smiling friendly man hunched over his guitar and launched himself bodily it seemed into his music. The blues possessed him like a 'lowdown shaking chill' and the spellbound audience saw the very incarnation of the blues as head thrown back he hollered and groaned the disturbing lyrics and flailed the guitar snapping the strings back against the fingerboard to accentuate the agonized rhythm. Son's music is the centre of the blues experience and when he performs it is a corporeal thing audience and singer become as one.' Bob Groom/Blues World'In the years before World War II Son House created some of the purest most powerful Mississippi Delta blues on record. Playing with partners Charley Patton and Willie Brown he exerted a profound influence on Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters both of whom copied his music and carried it to new generations. House's influence still echoes through the Rolling Stones Eric Clapton and many other musicians and in many respects he is the true father of what's known today as deep blues.' Jas ObrechtIn this lesson Tom Feldmann takes you step by step through 15 classic Son House tunes that span every phase of Son's recorded career. This 4 hour lesson is undoubtedly the most extensive look into the music of Son House and the techniques he developed. DISC ONE highlights 8 songs in Spanish tuning. While DISC TWO focuses on 7 songs using the Vestapol tuning (Open D) Standard and most surprising to students of House's playing Cross-Note tuning with Clarksdale Moan. Also included on DISC TWO is a bonus interview with Stefan Grossman where he talks extensively about meeting Son House and recording with him. Rare performances of Son House following his rediscovery are used throughout the lesson. The

The ten pieces for mixed ensemble or orchestra are 'inspired by the wish for concentration and reduction. Each piece focusses on one sound phenomenon (pulse, shaking ground, noise, monophony, overtone structures, etc.). All parts are locked together, however. The ending of each piece is the beginning of the next one. Thus, something disparate becomes something continuously narrated.' (Jörg Widmann)/ Répertoire / Ensemble [Ou Orchestre de Chambre]

Acallam na Senórach by Tarik O'Regan was co-commissioned by the National Chamber Choir of Ireland The DeBartolo Performing Arts Center at University of Notre Dame Indiana and Peak Performances at Montclair State University Montclair New Jersey.First performed on 25 November 2010 at St Ann’s Church Dublin by the National Chamber Choir of Irelandwith Stewart French (Guitar) directed by Paul Hillier.The Guitar part was edited by Stewart French.Tarik O'Regan on the music:In writing this musical setting of Acallam na Senórach I was drawn to the evenness of the dialogue. Instead of St Patricksimply converting the pagan warriors he is encouraged to listen to Ca lte’s stories and poems of an earlier time in which the saint delights.This secular/sacred osmosis is maintained unwaveringly throughout the entire text. By the end of the narrative one has witnessed not only the arrival of a new religion in Ireland but also a richly-recounted secular narrative map of the entire island: the peaceful and enriching shaking of two great hands.In preparing the libretto (the sung text) I have focused on only a few of the shorter constituent tales. This decision was born of the practical constraints of duration. I have however kept the skeleton albeit smaller of the overall frame in place. Finally for the sake of simplicity Ois n is removed from the primary narrative.The characters are not assigned specific voices. The narrative as a whole is carried by a persistently changing combination of voices and guitar. The one exception is Cas Corach the musician of the s d (underworld) who is most closely embodied throughout this setting in the solo interludes for guitar.The music itself is not ethnographically inclined; that is I have not attempted to reconstruct theories on Irish music of the period from which Acallam stems. However the score generally and especially in the guitar writing is imbued with an air
