And who was Hale? George Hale, born in 1868, founded Kenwood, Yerkes, Mount Wilson and Mount Palomar Observatories. He also built the largest telescope in the world four times – the 40-inch refractor at Yerkes, the 60-inch and 100-inch at Mount Wilson, and the 200-inch at Mount Palomar, among many other achievements.</span><br style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;" /><br style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;" /><span style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;">(To learn more, check out the documentary film </span><a href="http://www.journeytopalomar.org/#" style="color: #007c89; font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;" target="_blank">The Journey to Palomar</a><span style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"> by Todd and Robin Mason.)</span><br style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;" /><span style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"> </span><br style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;" /><span style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;">My family has been connected to George Hale and his legacy since 1893. In 1893, at age eleven, my grandfather Harold Delos Babcock attended the Columbian Exposition of 1893, also known as the Chicago World's Fair. There he saw the then world's largest telescope, the 40-inch refractor, built by Hale, then 25. In 1909, Harold was hired by Hale to join the staff at Mount Wilson Observatory near Pasadena, which was founded in 1904. Harold remained on the staff for 40 years. He then continued his observations of the sun at the Hale Solar Lab, Hale's private solar observatory in San Marino, for another 15 years. During World War One, Harold performed defense work for the National Research Council, for which Hale served as chairman of the organizing committee and first chairman of the council itself.</span><br style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;" /><span style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"> </span><br style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;" /><span style="font-size: 24px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;">My father, Horace Welcome Babcock, graduated from Caltech (founded by Hale) and earned his doctorate at UC Berkley. My parents met while Horace was working at Yerkes Observatory, the home of the 40-inch refractor Harold had first seen in 1893. Horace joined the staff of Mount Wilson in 1946. He became Director of the Carnegie Observatories in 1964 and remained so until his retirement in 1978. As early as 1903 Hale had begun to anticipate the creation of a major observatory in the Southern hemisphere. Under my father's direction, the Carnegie Observatories established the Las Campanas Observatory in the southern Atacama Desert of Chile in 1969.</span></span></div></span></div></span></div>uffda51http://www.blogger.com/profile/11395027089123943228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637370084895531494.post-89734144803318340812020-10-02T14:46:00.016-07:002020-10-04T16:54:07.255-07:00<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: times; font-size: large;">GRAMMY VOTING - September 30 - October 12</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: times; font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEjgyOuJ5B4p0mkT_wMkxjivR842l2iXEAKsiy8aMGcUzjAhQHlYchKcVizBJjF_3Qs6F-QpbwDWMx1bzRaimTHsXsUDtIoUoiAMAM5wLm7F_J8DdeqjBSMhmXuCtoIpar8BOS7s9oIxc/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="524" data-original-width="936" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEjgyOuJ5B4p0mkT_wMkxjivR842l2iXEAKsiy8aMGcUzjAhQHlYchKcVizBJjF_3Qs6F-QpbwDWMx1bzRaimTHsXsUDtIoUoiAMAM5wLm7F_J8DdeqjBSMhmXuCtoIpar8BOS7s9oIxc/w400-h224/Picture1.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For Your Grammy Consideration</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Alternative Facts," from the Navona album </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Through Glass"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">for solo piano</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">performed by Gloria Cheng</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This composition is submitted in the following categories:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">BEST CONTEMPORARY CLASSICAL COMPOSITION</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">BEST MUSIC VIDEO</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: times; font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=autxUAkVyzQ&t=1s">To view/hear Alternative Facts:</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Could not be timelier and more brilliantly performed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Unremittingly edgy, American composer Bruce Babcock's</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Alternative Facts" captures, through pianistic devices of </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">virtuosic clarity and torturous rhythmic schizophrenia, American angst since Donald Trump's surprising ascension to the </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">presidency in 2016.

for the July 7, 2019, Mount Wilson Sunday Afternoon Concerts in the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">Mount Wilson Observatory founder George Ellery
Hale invited his friend, the English poet Alfred Noyes, on a night
when no members of the press were invited, to commemorate the night of first
light at the 100-inch telescope dome in 1917. The text of Promethean
Fire comes from this poem. Hale’s colleague,
my grandfather, Harold D. Babcock, used the text in his
obituary of Hale in 1938, wherein he also describes an evening
open house held at the observatory in 1919, with music supplied by a
strolling harpist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">Promethean
Fire is essentially a short tribute to Hale. He <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>had previously built Yerkes Observatory in
Wisconsin, but Mount Wilson was Hale's first mountain-top observatory, which
involved multiple logistical difficulties. It eventually included three solar
telescopes and two large reflector telescopes for night-time work. Andrew
Carnegie and others helped make the success of Hale's observatory possible, Edwin
Hubble and others helped make it internationally known, and scientists such as
Albert Einstein came to visit. But Hale had the original vision for the
mountain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">Discoveries
made at Mount Wilson include the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and our position
in it, proof that we are not the only galaxy in the universe, and proof that
the universe itself is expanding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">Hale did
not live to see the completion of his dream for Mount Palomar, the 200-inch
telescope, in 1948. He could only imagine the images that this elegant machine
would collect. Nor could he have foreseen the progress brought by the Hubble
Space Telescope, nor can any of us know what the still-under-construction Giant
Magellan Telescope (GMT) in Las Campanas, Chile will reveal about our universe.
But each successive generation of observers has built on the foundation</span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;"> of the
last and carried on the Promethean Fire.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></div>

bring the deepest satisfaction. …His life was a rebuke and a refutation to
cynicism. In the midst of our irreparable loss, the words of his friend, poet
Alfred Noyes, stand out in clear relief:<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Alternative Facts was composed as a reaction to the 2016

president. Ever since he announced his candidacy we have, </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">as a nation, endured

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We now know first-hand the experience of passing
"Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There," Lewis
Carroll's 1871 novel. We are also living in George Orwell's "1984"

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Alternative Facts was composed for my long-time friend and
colleague, the brilliant Emmy and Grammy winning pianist Gloria Cheng. It was
recorded at the UCLA Herb Alpert School Of Music/ Ostin Music Center studio by
multiple Grammy-winning engineer Rich Breen. It will be included on an
upcoming, and as yet unnamed, album on the Navona label in 2020.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Discombobulating, annoying, loud, repetitive, confounding, crazy-making,
tiresome, frenetic, all of the above. The video contains only a tiny fraction
of the 13,000+ "false or misleading" claims made by the president as
gathered by the Washington Post, as well as claims made in the years before the
2016 election, and claims made by the president's supporters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

With it’s Blues-y feel, Goodman rocks the singing and playing bit, as well as showing great commend over the technical riffs. The melancholic nature of <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Soliloquy</i> by Bruce Babcock, showcases Goodman’s exquisite musicality and rich tone. <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Marsyas</i> by Jason Taurins is a change of pace track featuring Alto Flute, delivering a mournful, contemplative mood. Goodman offers a deep, plush sound on her Alto Flute. The work is haunting and ethereal. <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gadfly</i> by Jason Taurins lets Goodman display wonderful extended techniques, all showcasing her riveting tone. <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Sweet Soulless Solstice</i> by Steven Block is desolate, and severe, expertly played by Goodman. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Alternative Facts was composed as a reaction to the 2016 presidential campaign, election, and subsequent inauguration of our current president. Ever since he announced his candidacy we have, as a nation, endured a profound attack on reality, not to mention democracy, diplomacy, civility, and honesty.
We now know first-hand the experience of passing "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There," Lewis Carroll's 1871 novel. We are also living in George Orwell's "1984" and the 1944 MGM film "Gaslight." This is now our exhausting "alternative facts" daily life.
Alternative Facts was composed for my long-time friend and colleague, the brilliant Emmy and Grammy winning pianist Gloria Cheng. It was recorded at the UCLA Herb Alpert School Of Music/ Ostin Music Center studio by multiple Grammy-winning engineer Rich Breen. It will be included on an upcoming, and as yet unnamed, album on the Navona label in 2020.
The piece itself reflects the times we are living in. Discombobulating, annoying, loud, repetitive, confounding, crazy-making, tiresome, frenetic, all of the above. The video contains only a tiny fraction of the 13,000+ "false or misleading" claims made by the president as gathered by the Washington Post, as well as claims made in the years before the 2016 election, and claims made by the president's supporters.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">My fellow patriots, I'm sure
you all remember when, during the campaign, I promised to Make Twelve-Tone
Great Again. And we did. <span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Nothing
but the 2<sup>nd</sup> Viennese School, 24/7.</span></span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">It
was an amazing, beautiful, tremendous campaign. I had the biggest Electoral
College Win in history. But Melania pointed out that the acronym for Make
Atonality Great Again fits better with my MAGA message. And we already have the
caps. Frankly, this is greater, believe me. Jared will head it up. Ivanka will
design an atonal clothing line. We're doing well with the twelve-tone people,
but also with the blacks, the women, the Latinos, the African-Americans. To be
perfectly honest, we're popular with everybody.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">So today, we're launching our
amazing campaign here in Brentwood, California, where Arnold Schoenberg was
born. He's a guy who continues to get recognized more and more, that I will
tell you. He was there at the oranges of the whole atonal thing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">We'll be, in a very short
time, a couple of months, putting on a production of </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">his opera <i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Moses und Aron</span></i>, with Chris
Christie and Steve Scalise starring. "Verklarte Nacht," </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">we've done something tremendous with this piece. It will be all
bassoons, in a new version by Kevin McCarthy, another guy from California who's
doing an outstanding job. Kellyanne will be singing "<span style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">Nachtwandler</span>."
You don't want to miss this, I'm telling you. We have Gustavo, who I've known
since he came here from Costa Rica, coordinating the whole thing. The Dude!
We'll open in Branson, Missouri, for two weeks, and then go on a nine-month
tour of the deep South, where they love us. We do very well there. We're
looking to bring in Roy Moore to conduct "<span style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">Gurrelieder." </span><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">To be perfectly honest, this will be something
we've never seen before. It will be UUUUGE! Burger King and Coca-Cola will
sponsor the whole thing. The ratings we'll get! FABULOUS!!<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background: white; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; padding: 0in;">Then we've got Steve King to play
the<i> "</i>Piano Suite,"</span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Op. 25. You'll never hear anything better,
it's not gonna happen, okay? And due to popular demand, we're bringing back </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Carly Fiorina to sing "Pierrot
Lunaire." She was a candidate for president a while, but she fell off the
stage. We love you, Carly. Elegant. Fantastic.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">We
also will feature "Herzgewachse," </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt;">Op.
20 with Joni Ernst. That girl can sing high. So high! UNBELIEVABLE!</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">And I
haven't even mentioned yet – Maestro Alvin Berg. We'll do the <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Altenberg Lieder</span> with Hope Hicks. She's
very talented. Incredible. A lot of people are saying she could be the star of
the whole thing. And of course <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lulu</i>
will be the grand finale, with Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Speaking of the
Huckabee's, Mike has done a new special version of Webern's <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Movements (5) for string quartet,</span> Op. 5.
For five Fender basses. </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">That's Anthony Webern . . . or Anton von Webern
. . . or Tony. He answers to all three.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">As
for Ernst Krenek . . . I'm going to maybe – and I'm looking at it very
seriously – we're doing some other things that you probably noticed like some
of the very important things we're doing now. But we're looking at it very
seriously. </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt;">But "Jonny spielt auf," </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt;">I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Obama
did nothing like this, by the way, and very badly. So phoney! It's a DISGRACE!!
He invited some guy named Hamilton to the White House to perform. I've never
even heard of the guy. I don't know him. We heard it was boring. Dumb.
Overrated. SAD!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In
all honesty, we asked Governor Romney to join us. We asked him to conduct the <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Erwartung</span> Op. 17. He turned us down! People
thought it was going to happen. I don't understand it. It was a perfect call.
Perfect, believe me. Everyone is now saying he doesn't have a clue. He's a
disaster. WEAK! </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">He’s
a low-energy person, let’s face it. We don’t need low energy. We need lots of
energy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">So
that's our story. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Make Atonality Great
Again.</b> Like it was when America was great. It will be amazing. Beautiful.
Bigly. THE BEST!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mexico will pay for it. THAT I CAN PROMISE YOU!!!</span><br />
