Cantilena Chamber Players
The Cantilena Chamber Players/ Cantilena Piano Quartet was an ensemble founded and led by Edna Michell that included pianist Frank Glazer, violist Harry Zaratzian,( later Jessie Levine and Phillip Naegele), cellist Paul Olefsky( later Stephen Kates, Marcy Rosen, Hakuro Mori, and Steven Thomas), and mezzo- soprano Elaine Bonazzi.
The ensemble was known for performing well- known masterworks and new music, and reviving lesser- known and forgotten masterworks rediscovered by Michell in libraries, shops, and private collections in Europe and America.
These rediscovered works included piano quartets by Sergei Taneyev, Gustav Mahler, Alfred Schnittke, Camille Saint- Saëns, and Vincent d’ Indy, among others.
Michell inspired over twenty compositions to be written, premiered and recorded by the ensemble including works by Josef Tal, Morton Feldman, Lukas Foss, Yehudi Wyner, Herman D. Koppel, Robert Starer, Tzvi Avni, Ben- Zion Orgad and Ödön Pártos.
Partos ’ was inspired after he and Michell were sitting on a balcony overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem when both were struck by the six o’clock toll of the Christian Church bells and the call of the muezzin.
Partos asked Michell what the notes were, and Michell identified them and suggested that Partos begin his new piece with the very same notes.
A few months later, Michell received the “ Balada for Piano Quartet, ” which begins and ends with the notes of the bells.
She called Partos to thank him only to learn that he had died three days earlier, just after completing the composition.
With a special grant from the Helena Rubinstein Foundation, Michell founded the Helena Rubinstein concerts for performances of contemporary music by Cantilena at major art museums, including the Corcoran Gallery, and the Guggenheim, Hirshhorn, and Tel Aviv Museums.
Foss composed “ Round A Common Center ” for the Cantilena Chamber Players and Yehudi Menuhin for the opening of the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid.
A documentary film, “ Olympic Overture, ” was produced and broadcast on PBS.
“ Round A Common Center ” was later recorded with narration by Orson Welles.
The Cantilena Chamber Players/ Cantilena Piano Quartet received major acclaim from critics the world over.
They were featured in articles including pieces by Shirley Fleming in Musical America and Harold Schonberg in The New York Times, and were described by Stereo Review as “ a first- rate piano quartet. ”
Politiken praised Cantilena ’s “ splendid, wonderfully stirring, passionate performances, ” and the London Sunday Times described them as “ a piano quartet of outstanding quality, ” that gave a “ breathlessly exhilarating performance. ”
The Washington Post wrote that “ Among the excellent chamber music performances at the Library of Congress, an occasional one positively glitters.
Last night ’s concert by the Cantilena Chamber Players did just that! ”

List of Da Capo episodes
The following is an episode list for the anime adaptation of the" Da Capo" series of games, including" Da Capo: Second Season".
The" D.C." anime first season, animated by Zexcs, originally aired from 5 July to 27 December 2003 on the Japanese network TV Kanagawa.
Based on the original visual novel's scenario where the player chooses Nemu, it featured the central characters of the game, while omitting some of the details of the other scenarios.
As it was a general- audience anime, the explicit scenes of the original game were likewise omitted.
Many episodes were accompanied by bonus material, such as music videos or side stories.
The unique thirteen Side Episodes, although released concurrently with" D.C.", were produced by a different staff than the" D.C." anime.
The second season" Da Capo: Second Season", animated by Feel, aired from 2 July to 24 December 2005, also on TV Kanagawa.
" Da Capo: Second Season" includes the premise and characters from the manga" Da Capo: Second Graduation" released in 2004, but the character development and plot progression are very different.
The cast also includes characters from the expansion game" Da Capo: Plus Situation".
A notable difference between the two seasons is Jun'ichi's character design.
It is believed that this production is intended to connect the original game to its sequel," Da Capo II", as the sequel game contains references to" Da Capo: Second Season".
Unlike the first season, there was no bonus material accompanying the series' broadcast.
Both seasons are available on DVD, but there is no official English release of this series at this time.
The" Da Capo Side Episodes" were released separately from the regular episodes in their own DVDs, but the DVD- BOX release of" Da Capo" placed both regular and Side episodes on the same discs.
