at some of your favorite songs.
Here are some excerpts om
recording studio interviews
with Glen Ballard and Keri
Hilson. Catch these videos
and more at VEVO.com
Q: Tell us how the Michael Jackson
song “Man in the Mirror” originated.
A: “In every way there was just an
angel on our shoulder with this song...
and the work of a great producer,
Quincy Jones. Michael loved the kind
of gospel influence of [the song]. One
of the things that was fun and really
great about Michael was his musicality... [for example] on the key phrase,
“If you wanna make the world a better place, you better look at yourself
and make a change,” it’s a really unusual cluster. It’s like a car horn — C,
D, F, G — and I had it laid out like that
on the demo and Michael just nailed it.
This is a very complicated chord and
there was just no problem… and that
was just his genius musicality with it.”
Q: Tell us about “The Way I Are.”
A: When you’re working with Timbaland, he kind of “scats” the
melody...he was doing, “I ain’t got no
money,” and that became the blueprint. As he was saying that, I was
thinking “Wow, you have a concept
about being broke and about dating
someone not for their exterior.” I’ve
always had this concept about “taking your chain off ” — you don’t have
to flaunt for me. That’s when I’ll see
the real you...All that is icing...it’s
great, but it’s icing. It was something
I had to say. It was a really conquering moment to have that song take
off around the world.

(Withers) – Glee Cast
Every decade, television
launches a series which
boldly embraces music as
one of its characters. Fox hit
the jackpot this year with the Golden
Globe award-winning musical comedy
“Glee.” While nobody had a crystal ball,
Fox TV music executive, Geoff Bywater,
had the vision and passion to reach out
early and I was fortunate to work closely
with Geoff and Ward at Fox along with
music supervisor PJ Bloom. As a result,
UMPG ended up with 26 songs in the
first 13 episodes of Season 1. We also
had 7 songs on Volume 1 of the Glee
soundtrack and 4 songs on the follow up
Volume 2 (which have cumulatively sold
over 1.3 million units to date). We’re already off to a great start on the back nine
episodes of Season 1 which begin airing
on April 13th following “American Idol.”
This kind of show, and “Glee” in particular, has been great for the music
publishing world because it serves as a
great outlet for catalog songs regardless
of who originally recorded them. For
example, when the Glee cast covered
“Lean On Me” (Withers) in Episode 10,
the song hit Top 100 on the UK charts
38 years after its original release.

posers. One of these was Pascal
Dusapin and for the occasion he
composed Quatuor n° 7 “Open
Time,” which the Arditti Quartet premiered in January. Dusapin returns
to the genre of the string quartet
after an interval of some years – the
publication of his first four string
quartets took place between 1990
and 1997, that of Quatuor V in
2005. The unusual Quatuor VII
“Hinterland” for string quartet and

premiered at the Konzertsaal in
Luzern on 18th April. UMPG
Thee MusicAcross festival together
with Teatro Ponchielli in Cremona
recently commissioned Giorgio
Battistelli and Luca Francesconi to
write two new pieces, requesting
them to draw inspiration from the
works of Claudio Monteverdi.
Giorgio Battistelli found a source
of inspiration in Book VIII of the
madrigals, the Madrigali guerrieri, et
amorosi, from whose preface he
borrows the title: Inventis facile est
addere. The piece was performed at
Teatro Dal Verme in Milan and at
the Ponchielli in Cremona. “The exercise of looking back to the past,
which might seem straightforward,
is in fact today very problematic. I
wanted to avoid the neo-classical
approach,” explains Battistelli. Luca
Francesconi has drawn inspiration
from the libretto of Monteverdi’s
Orpheus. “I compiled a brief text
drawing from Alessandro Striggio’s
work the topical moments in the evolution of the mood.”
