Art Song Alliance: Leslie Adams
(1932 ), Cleveland, Ohio. Biography.Category Arts Music Composition Composers A Adams, LeslieLeslie Adams b. 1932, LESLIE ADAMS FIVE MILLAY SONGS Wild Swans Branch By BranchFor You There Is No Song The Return From Town Gone Again Is Summer The Lovely.
http://www.uni.edu/taylord/adams.bio.html

Extractions: b. 1932 Millay Songs was written in 1977 and is available from American Composers Alliance. There are two versions, one for high voice, the other for medium voice and piano. There songs are perhaps the finest of Adams' considerable catalog. The beautiful melodies of the voice are firmly supported by a piano accompaniment that is keenly reflective of the text. Millay's texts are, for the most part, melancholic. They express sentiments of the tedium of daily life, lost love, and lost opportunities. The penultimate song, "The Return From Town," is shocking in its contrast to the previous three songs. It, too, speaks of opportunities lost, but does so almost as a matter of jest (the text says, succinctly, "I saw someone fair. I ignored him and went into my own house. There I already have a handsome husband.") Picturesque is the best word one may use to describe the piano treatment of these songs. Much like the songs of Schumann, the piano intercedes to complete fragments of thoughts where words fail. A fine pianist himself, Adams is very specific with markings. The voice part is written with sensitivity for the expressive powers of a lyric instrument. Decidedly, this composer knows how to maximize effects possible from singers. On high notes, time is given for the blossoming of tone. Lines are written for the voice in such a way as to encourage vowel-to-vowel singing, the framework necessary for true legato. There are some complexities here that will require specific attention if a unified ensemble is to prevail. The level of difficulty for this work is medium to medium high. It is a gratifying piece to perform.

http://agocleveland.tripod.com/newsletterselections/200001/adamscdrev.html

Extractions: American Guild of Organists A Review: Leslie Adams' Songs Rarely does one hear a perfect match of singer, pianist, and repertoire. Love Rejoices, a new compact disk containing a rich assortment of the masterful songs composed by Leslie Adams has that magic. The program contains the complete song groups Nightsongs, The Wider View, as well as exerpts from Five Millay Songs and selected individual songs. Poets include Edna St. Vincent Millay, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Joette McDonald, Langston Hughes, and Georgia Douglas Johnson. The Adams songs are beautifully crafted. This composer knows what musical line is all about and sets his texts with love of words and musical technique to match the poetry. The piano parts are at once intricate and a perfect matach for the nuances of text. Darryl Taylor's rich tenor and Ms. GuyÕs sensitive accompanying meld perfectly. Mr. Taylor knows how to change his timbre from warm and luxurious to moody and dark, from very rhythmic to liquid. This is a wonderful listening experience. David Powers tells us that the disk [CD, Albany Records, Catalog 428] can be ordered from Educator's Music, (216) 226-6780. Printed songs (in three keys) can also be purchased at Educator's Music.

http://www.popmatters.com/film/reviews/b/beautiful.html

Extractions: e-mail this article Just Wrong U sing the subculture of U.S. beauty pageants as a base, Beautiful addresses a multitude of apparently "female" issues. It brings up self-image problems, objectification, sexualization of young girls, pregnancy, sexual abuse, and (almost) lesbianism. Looking at that list, you might think that Sally Field's directorial debut is really amazing, daring to tackle almost every big concern for gender and sexual politics. But it's not amazing and not daring. In fact, it's damn safe. Beautiful never gets past being skin deep. Written by Jon ( Ringmaster ) Bernstein, Beautiful And while we're on the subject of things girly, Mona's pregnancy is very conveniently disappeared from the plot. For a movie that defines itself as a "bold, female-powered film," this omission might bring pause. To maintain her pageant eligibility, Mona had to hide her "condition" for several months. Why, in such a "female-powered film," are such a profound event and circumstances never addressed? Perhaps, like Mona, the movie is just too intensely focused pageants to deal with such life details. Indeed, it's not long after Eisenberg is introduced as Vanessa that Mona qualifies for the Miss American Miss pageant and Ruby is incarcerated. That's right, I said incarcerated. It seems that in keeping with Ruby's role as Mother Extraordinaire, she works in a home for the elderly and unfortunately, one of her patients dies from a drug overdose, leaving Ruby as the prime suspect.
