  • The Proms Listening Service Radio 3’S Tom Service Proposes Onward Sonic Explorations Inspired by the Music of Tonight’S Prom
    The Proms Listening Service Radio 3’s Tom Service proposes onward sonic explorations inspired by the music of tonight’s Prom BACH a kaleidoscope of new forms, groups and layers. In his Indian Brandenburg Concertos summer – composing throughout his eighties and nineties until his death at the age of 103 – Carter continued to revisit and reshape Bach’s Brandenburgs are a set of wildly innovative and dizzyingly the concerto principle, from Dialogues I and II for piano and diverse answers to the question of how musical individuals relate orchestra and his Clarinet Concerto to works that take the to larger groups. Bach doesn’t come up with anything so Brandenburg principle of a group of instruments as an ensemble of straightforward as the concerto form as it became ossified in potential soloists into the present day. That’s the effervescent energy the 19th century, in which a single soloist is set against the that drives Carter’s Boston Concerto, written for the Boston massed ranks of the orchestra. Instead, each Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra in 2002, and the Asko Concerto, composed in Concerto proposes a much more fluid solution to the question 1999–2000 for the eponymous Dutch new music group. It’s not of how a solo part or multiple solo parts weave in and out of only the example of Bach that tonight’s composers are up against: the texture of the instrumental ensemble as a whole. It’s all there are the achievements of Musgrave and Carter to contend with done with such seamless invention that it’s like looking at an too! ever-active shoal of fish in the ocean, where your attention is sometimes drawn to the dazzle and glint of individuals but then flows out to the group as a whole, in and out again, in a dance of different relationships between the players and a dance of listening on which Bach leads us in each of these concertos.

Dieter Heinz Hermann Levi – Ein Start in Saarbrücken vom Ludwigsplatz Stengels zum Festspielhaus Wagners in Bayreuth 18 Marcus-Johannes Heinz 50 Jahre Richard-Wagner-Verband Saarland 1956-2006 25 Stipendiaten 91 Wagner-Inszenierungen in Saarbrücken 105 Quellen und Bildnachweise 108 1 Dank … an die Sponsoren, die das Festkonzert erst ermöglicht haben … an unsere Verbandsmitglieder für private Spenden … an die Kooperationspartner des Festkonzerts … an die Unionstiftung für die Unterstützung bei der Publikation dieser Festschrift 2 Grußwort des Leiters der Bayreuther Festspiele Sicherlich wird niemand behaupten, dass Saarbrücken eine ausgesprochene Wagnerstadt ist, aber seit einem Halbjahrhundert nun existiert und wirkt dort ein sympathischer Richard-Wagner-Verband, der sich in der großen, weltumspannenden Vereinigung aller Wagner-Verbände seit langem Achtung und Anerkennung erwerben konnte. Die zahlreichen und bleibenden Verdienste im einzelnen hervorzuheben und zu rühmen, ist hier nicht der Platz, doch ich möchte meine herzlichen Glückwünsche zum Jubiläum verbinden mit der Zuversicht, dass nicht allein Rückschau gehalten wird, sondern die vergangenen 50 Jahre als solides Fundament Anerkennung finden, auf dem die Zukunft mit Begeisterung und Ideenreichtum errichtet wird. Das Engagement innerhalb der Stipendienstiftung ist gewiss die wichtigste und schönste Aufgabe, der sich die Mitglieder des Verbands widmen. Denn gerade mit dem behutsamen Heranführen junger Menschen an Werk und Wirkung Richard Wagners erfüllt ein Verband ganz Wesentliches und leistet bedeutende Arbeit. Und darüber hinaus wäre es ja möglich, dass auf solche Art und Weise sogar Nachwuchs- Mitglieder gewonnen werden. Ein Jubiläum ist stets eine kleine Zäsur, ein kurzes Innehalten, ein Besinnen und Atemholen, natürlich auch ein Bilanzieren des Gewesenen.

  • Constraints and Freedom: a Conversation with Georg Katzer
    Martin Supper Constraints and Freedom: Berlin University of the Arts UNI.K | Studio for Sonic Art and Sound Research A Conversation with Fasanenstraße 1B, 10595 Berlin, Germany supper@udk-berlin.de Georg Katzer Abstract: This interview sheds light both on a composer and on a hitherto overlooked field, the evolution of electroacoustic music in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR, commonly called East Germany). This latter focus is vital insofar as little of it, if anything at all, is included in established histories of electroacoustic music. These typically take Cologne, Paris, or New York, together with the associated institutions and composers, as starting points, with nary a word for the GDR or elsewhere. The composer Georg Katzer was a key personality in this era. In this conversation he discusses the genesis of electroacoustic music in the GDR, the influences of studios from other countries, the development of the electronic musical instrument known as the Subharchord, establishing a studio (under conditions which, despite adversity, also gave rise to results of a distinctive charm), formal affiliations with international organizations, and much more. Georg Katzer (see Figure 1) was born in 1935 in operas, two ballets, and electroacoustic works, Habelschwerdt, Silesia (then part of Germany, Katzer is involved with multimedia projects and now belonging to Poland). He studied composition improvised music. He has toured Europe playing with Rudolf Wagner-Regeny and Ruth Zechlin, with Johannes Bauer, Wolfgang Fuchs, Paul Lytten, as well as piano, at the Deutsche Hochschule fur¨ Radu Malfatti, Phil Wachsman, Phil Minton, and Musik in East Berlin (now the Hochschule fur¨ Tony Oxley among others.

But there are reasons far more compelling than mere longevity to regard Elliott Carter as the most eminent of living American composers, and as one of the foremost composers in the world at large. His name has come to be synonymous with music that is at once structurally formidable, expressively extraordinary, and virtuosically dazzling: music that asks much of listener and performer INTRODUCTION alike but gives far more in return. Carter was born in New York and, except during the later years of his education, has always lived there. After college and some postgraduate study at Harvard, like many an aspiring American composer of his generation who did not find the training he sought at home, Carter went off to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger, an experience which, while enabling a necessary development of technique, also lent his work a conservative, neoclassical style for a time.

  • “TEMPO E TEMPI” Program Notes for Pieces by Elliott Carter by John Link Esprit Rude/Esprit Doux II
    Concert 5 “TEMPO E TEMPI” Program Notes for pieces by Elliott Carter by John Link Esprit Rude/Esprit Doux II (1994) Carter composed Esprit Rude/Esprit Doux as a 60th birthday present for Pierre Boulez, using a short motto based on Boulez’s name. Ten years later, Carter added this brief companion piece as a 70th birthday present. The first measure of the later piece repeats the final gesture of the earlier one, and the two pieces may be played individually, as a suite, or as a single continuous movement. Esprit Rude/Esprit Doux II adds marimba to the original’s flute and clarinet, and reflects the considerable changes in Carter’s style that took place between 1985 and 1994. The main body of the piece consists of a long-line melody, passed between the flute and clarinet. Unable to participate in the sustained lyricism of the woodwinds, the marimba provides an occasionally vehement accompaniment. Elsewhere, the instruments find common ground in a texture of trills and tremolos that minimizes their differences, but a mood of playful contentiousness nonetheless prevails. Trilogy (1992) Trilogy was composed for Heinz and Ursula Holliger, and consists of short pieces for solo harp (Bariolage), and solo oboe (Inner Song), with a concluding duet for the two instruments together (Immer Neu). Each of the three movements may be played alone as an independent composition, but when played as a suite the instruments make small accompanying gestures during each other’s solo, to particularly striking effect. The word Bariolage originally referred to the mixing of colors but was later adapted to bowed instrument playing to refer to the technique of moving rapidly between different strings to produce changes of tone color.
