  1. 'Hallelujah Junction: Composing an American Life' by John Adams

    JOHN ADAMS is the voice of America. His instrumental music, and particularly that for the orchestra, conveys the American experience broadly. He is generous in his interests, which include the maverick Yankee-isms of Charles Ives, the populist strains of Bernstein and Copland and the classical jazz of Ellington and Benny Goodman, as well as the more progressive styles of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Pop music -- be it the Beach Boys, Frank Zappa, electronica or grunge -- is on his radar. He has experimented with experimental music and championed Minimalism. Sibelius looms large.

  3. 'The Rest Is Noise, Listening to the Twentieth Century' by Alex Ross

    Special to The Times
    [This Book Review originally ran in the Los Angeles Times on Nov. 11, 2007] A unified, comprehensive history of 20th century music is the philosopher's stone of modern criticism: How to transmute such vast, maddening complexity into conceptual gold? It's...

  5. Live: Chanticleer on 'Mission Road' in San Luis Obispo

    SAN LUIS OBISPO -- On a balmy evening here Thursday, the dozen men of <a href="http://www.chanticleer.org/">Chanticleer</a>, dressed in identical stylish dark suits, began a slow procession down the aisle of the <a href="http://www.missionsanluisobispo.org/history.html">San Luis Obispo de Tolosa mission</a>, founded in 1772. It was a solemn, beautiful, memorable moment. They were unfurling, for the first time, some of our musical DNA.

  7. Artist mixed paint, sculpture, cast-offs

    Robert Rauschenberg, the protean artist from small-town Texas whose imaginative commitment to hybrid forms of painting and sculpture changed the course of American and European art between 1950 and the early 1970s, died Monday night, according to New York's PaceWildenstein Gallery, which represents his work. He was 82.

  9. Calder Quartet at Zipper Hall

    The young <a href="http://www.calderquartet.com">Calder Quartet</a> has arrived. For its program Friday night in the Zipper Concert Hall at the Colburn School, the box office was mobbed. A throng in hanging-from-the-rafters numbers so crowded a hapless box office that many did not get in in time for Mozart's "Dissonant" Quartet.

  11. Jacaranda series blossoms again

    A Lou Harrison craze has appeared frustratingly just around the corner ever since this poster boy for gorgeous nonconformist California music died in 2003. Friday night <a href="http://www.jacarandamusic.org/">Jacaranda</a>, Santa Monica's new music series, opened its new season with a half-Harrison program featuring his music for Western instruments and Javanese gamelan. In two weeks' time, the Los Angeles Master Chorale will present another half-Harrison program when it performs "La Koro Sutro" at Walt Disney Concert Hall. The corner may finally be getting closer.

  13. Words from the past, insights for today

    Saturday morning, hyperbolic weather reporters here barked out warnings of heavy wind and drenching rain all day. A shower or two did dampen Manhattan streets, but the real New York weather over the weekend was elsewhere.

  15. John Adams tries to find the words

    Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
    When John Adams, the celebrated composer who is to his adopted California as Sibelius is to Finland, decided to write a memoir of his life and music, he realized there was virtually no model for his project. "Most composers," he said over lunch at an...

  17. Tapping Sister Corita's creative process

    The book <a href="http://www.allworth.com/Jan_Steward_s/302.htm">&ldquo;Learning by Heart: Teachings to Free the Creative Spirit&rdquo;</a> -- based on the work of the late <a href="http://www.corita.org">Sister Corita</a>, a legendary art instructor from L.A.'s Immaculate Heart College -- had little immediate effect  when it came out in 1992. "It kind of fell flat," said Jan Steward, a former student who co-wrote the book.

  21. A throwback that's a step forward

    Lunch was long over, the conversation lingered, and Alice's patience was wearing skittishly thin. A girl couldn't wait all afternoon. At last the guest stood from the dining table to leave, but not just yet, please, journalist and photographer Jamie Wolf requested, not before the neatly coiffed springer spaniel did her "jobs" &#8212; she had trained to become a therapy dog in hospitals and she needed to go to work.

  23. Jennifer Mills: Art to laugh with (not at)

    The art world takes itself very seriously. Make that very, very seriously.
    The art world takes itself very seriously. Make that very, very seriously. What little laughter can be heard between the white walls of the museum typically comes at the expense of art by people who don't understand it. Far rarer are chuckles that erupt...
