A two piano concert at Littlefield Concert Hall on the campus of Mills College featuring two composer\/performers who figured prominently in that Temple of new music and in my personal listening life. Alas, I live some 350 miles from that location. But further intrigue came from the featured artists: Sarah Cahill and Joseph Kubera, two of the finest working new music pianists anywhere and both worked with the evening\u2019s composers. This was just too compelling and I decided that I would regret missing this if I failed to go hear it.<\/p>\n<p>So it was, I planned my little odyssey, leaving at about 9AM from Santa Barbara on a nice lightly trafficked trip, more a pilgrimage than an odyssey. A pilgrimage, frequently defined as a personal spiritual journey ostensibly in search of insight or enlightenment is how I\u2019ve come to identify my listener\u2019s adventure to the secular temple of Mills College featuring music of former Mills faculty Robert Ashley (1930-2014) and Robert Sheff (1945-2020), better known by his stage name, \u201cBlue Gene Tyrrany\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12780\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/img_0085\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0085.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1608,1320\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_0085\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0085.jpg?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0085.jpg?w=640\" width=\"1024\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0085.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12780\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Robert Ashley (copyright unknown)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12781\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/img_0434-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0434-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1333\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_0434-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0434-1.jpg?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0434-1.jpg?w=640\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0434-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12781\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cBob and Blue\u201d (copyright by Other Minds)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The two featured composers had a strong connection to the Bay Area, mostly via their work at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mills_College_at_Northeastern_University\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mills College<\/a>.

It was clear from this first selection, that our performers were well rehearsed and in sync despite rhythmic complexities inherent in this quite beautiful work. It is cinematic and sweetly nostalgic, a fine example of \u201cBlue\u201d\u2019s genius. The performance was riveting and worthy as the first performance ritual of the evening.<\/p>\n<p>This was followed by a real rarity, a performance of Robert Ashley\u2019s Piano Sonata (1959, 1979, 1985). In fact, it appears to have been the first complete performance of the two piano version of this impressive serially structured piece. Previous recordings are available, one with the composer performing the first movement at the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ONCE_Group\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ONCE Festival<\/a> from 1966, the other by Blue Gene Tyrrany on his album, \u201cJust for the Record\u201d. This writer also found some useful analysis by musicologist Kyle Gann on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kylegann.com\/AshleySonata.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>. Gann worked with Ashley and later published a fine <a href=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/2013\/08\/17\/the-feeling-of-the-idea-of-robert-ashley-kyle-ganns-appreciation-of-the-composer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">survey<\/a> of Ashley\u2019s music that is well worth your time. The result was a convincing, almost romantic sounding performance of this foundational work in Ashley\u2019s oeuvre. <\/p>\n<p>This was followed by a solo rendition by Joe Kubera of Tyrrany\u2019s \u201cThe Drifter\u201d (1994), which was written for Mr. Kubera. He spoke briefly about the structure of this work (which he also recorded on his recent \u201cHorizons\u201d album). This piece has a meandering quality created by the intricate evolving structure. Kubera\u2019s performance was hypnotic and a fine tribute.<\/p>\n<p>The second half began with Ms. Cahill solo at that stage left Steinway playing first Tyranny\u2019s \u201cNocturne With and Without Memory\u201d (1989), one of his better known works. Then she played his \u201cSpirit\u201d (1996\/2002), a piece that is a sort of homage to the experimental composer\/performer <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Henry_Cowell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Henry Cowell<\/a> (1897-1965). It was rather unusual in that it involved harmonics over which the pianist plays. The title is an homage to Cowell\u2019s famous piano piece, \u201cThe Banshee\u201d, a malevolent spirit in Irish mythology. Both were vintage Blue Gene pieces.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12787\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/img_0395\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0395.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1333\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Q&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark IV&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1757279192&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;120&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.2&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_0395\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0395.jpg?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0395.jpg?w=640\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/newmusicbuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0395.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12787\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Two pianists, one piano.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Then Kubera returned, taking a seat at the blemished Baldwin with Cahill standing at that same piano, at a 90 degree angle to Kubera. Here, in these two obscure Ashley pieces, Viva\u2019s Boy (1991), and \u201cDetails\u201d (2b, 1962), Cahill played like a chef at a chef\u2019s table, playing the strings inside the piano while Kubera manned the keyboard. These true rarities getting perhaps their first performance, were certainly a highlight of the concert.<\/p>\n<p>It was Blue Gene Tyrrany\u2019s spirit that was the final ritual celebration on this magical night with both pianists at their respective pianos to give a heartfelt reading of his, \u201cA Letter From Home\u201d (2002). This brought this learned, well rehearsed, beautifully collaborative evening\u2019s ritual to a satisfying close.<\/p>\n<p>The modest, self selected audience, applauded warmly and gave an extended, much deserved ovation and seemed as enthralled as this listener whose musico-spiritual pilgrimage found an ecstatic height. I drove home that same night, blessedly lifted, if only briefly, from the chaos of the world by this wonderful artistic ritual. They will now take this great program to New York.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Littlefield Hall (photo copyright by author) \u2026tell the old story for our modern times.
