Michelangelo - "Matter and Spirit"
Michelangelo (1475-1564), full name Michelangelo Di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, Italian sculptor, architect, painter, and poet, who was one of the most inspired creators in the history of art, and, with Leonardo da Vinci, the most potent force in the Italian High Renaissance. As a sculptor, architect, painter, and poet, he exerted a tremendous influence on his contemporaries and on subsequent Western art in general.
A Florentine, although born March 6, 1475, in the small village of Caprese near Arezzo—Michelangelo continued to have a deep attachment to his city, its art, and its culture throughout his long life. He spent the greater part of his adulthood in Rome, employed by the popes: characteristically, however, he left instructions that he be buried in Florence, and his body was placed there in a fine monument in the church of Santa Croce.
During his long lifetime, Michelangelo was an intimate of princes and popes, from Lorenzo de’ Medici to Leo X, Clement VIII, and Pius III (1439-1503), as well as cardinals, painters, and poets.
Two generations of Italian painters and sculptors were impressed by his treatment of the human figure: Raphael, Annabale Caracci, Pontormo, Rosso Fiorentino, Sebastiano del Piombo, and Titian. His dome for St. Peter’s became the symbol of authority, as well as the model, for domes all over the Western world; the majority of state capitol buildings in the US, as well as the Capitol in Washington, DC are derived from it.
Michelangelo is celebrated for such masterpieces as his statues of David and Moses, and the Pieta (1497). His painting of the Sistine Chapel took four years to complete (1508-1512).

Classical Journey:
Wilhelm Stenhammar
c. 1916
![[Image: MIrkMJYq_o.jpg]](https://images2.imgbox.com/cd/21/MIrkMJYq_o.jpg)
Stenhammar was born in Stockholm, where he received his first musical education. He then went to Berlin to further his studies in music. He became a glowing admirer of German music, particularly that of Richard Wagner and Anton Bruckner. Stenhammar himself described the style of his First Symphony in F major as "idyllic Bruckner".[1] He subsequently sought to emancipate himself and write in a more "Nordic" style, looking to Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius for guidance.
From 1906 to 1922 he was Artistic Director and chief conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony, the first full-time professional orchestra in Sweden. In this capacity, he organizd many performances of music by contemporary Scandinavian composers. In 1909, he briefly held the position of director of music at Uppsala University.
His works were quite varied and included two completed symphonies, a substantial Serenade for Orchestra, piano concertos, piano sonatas, a violin sonata, string quartets, many songs and other vocal works, including several large-scale works for chorus or voices and orchestra.
Writing in The Chamber Music Journal, R.H.R. Silvertrust notes that Stenhammar's string quartets are the most important written between those of Johannes Brahms and Béla Bartók. Whether or not this is so, there is no denying that Stenhammar's quartets represent a very important development during the twenty-five years he was writing chamber music. Tonally, they range from the middle late Romantics to a style akin to mature Sibelius. Though not unknown by the Swedish chamber music public, his string quartets have been neglected elsewhere.
Stenhammar was considered the finest Swedish pianist of his time. Pianists who venture into the realm of the string quartet often wind up writing compositions which sound as though they were composed at, and are perhaps better played on, the piano. That Stenhammar's works show no such trait is because for nearly half of his life, he worked intimately with the Aulin Quartet, the top Swedish string quartet of his day and one of the best then performing in Europe. In fact, he toured throughout Europe with them for many years and a piano quintet was nearly always featured on their programs. Thus it is no accident that his quartets show a fine grasp of instrumental timbre and technique. The part writing is sure, always idiomatic and evenly distributed.
Stenhammar died of a stroke at 56 years of age in Jonsered in the historic province of Västergötland. He is buried in Gothenburg.
