  • "For Philip Guston" by Petr Kotik and Walter Zimmermann
    [Morton Feldman Page] [List of Texts] On Performing Feldman's "For Philip Guston": A Conversation by Petr Kotik and Walter Zimmermann Contents: Introduction to Petr Kotik/Walter Zimmermann Conversation by Petr Kotik Ten Nasty Questions put to Petr Kotik by Walter Zimmermann Introduction to Petr Kotik/Walter Zimmermann Conversation Following the performance by S.E.M. Ensemble of Morton Feldman's For Philip Guston at the Paula Cooper Gallery in May, 1995, Paula Cooper suggested that we record the piece. She offered to fund the project the same way she funded our Marcel Duchamp recording in 1989. We had a few meetings in the Fall of 1995, to assess the feasibility of the idea and in November, we decided to go ahead. On December 22 and 23, 1995, we recorded the piece at the LRP Studio on West 22nd Street in Manhattan. The May '95 performance of Guston at the Paula Cooper Gallery was a great success. That Spring, we performed the piece twice: once in New York and few weeks later at the Landesmuseum Mainz in Germany. These were not our first performances of Guston. We have already performed it in 1988. Both concerts in 1995 convinced me that the time has finally come for music of extended duration to be appreciated by broader audiences. I was very much involved with this concept in the 1970s. In fact, all the pieces I wrote between 1971 and 1981 are several hours in duration. In the Summer of 1987, I wanted to commission Feldman to write a piece for the S.E.M.

He was highly visible as an incendiary queer black musician in the European-American tradition of classical music. However, at the end of his life and certainly after his death, his legacy became obscured through a myriad of circumstances. The musical language contained within Julius Eastman’s middle-period work from 1976-1981 is intentionally vague and non- prescriptive in ways that parallel his lived experience as an actor of mediated cultural visibility. The visual difficulty of deciphering Eastman’s written scores compounds with the sonic difference in the works as performed to further ambiguity.

  • Explorations of Dissent in the Music of Czech-Born Composers Marek Kopelent and Petr Kotík
    Notes from the Underground: Explorations of Dissent in the Music of Czech-born Composers Marek Kopelent and Petr Kotík by Victoria Johnson A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved November 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Sabine Feisst, Chair Robert Oldani Jody Rockmaker ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2015 ABSTRACT Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, musicologists have been delving into formerly inaccessible archives and publishing new research on Eastern Bloc composers. Much of the English-language scholarship, however, has focused on already well-known composers from Russia or Poland. In contrast, composers from smaller countries such as the Czech Republic (formerly Czechoslovakia) have been neglected. In this thesis, I shed light on the new music scene in Czechoslovakia from 1948–1989, specifically during the period of “Normalization” (1969–1989). The period of Normalization followed a cultural thaw, and beginning in 1969 the Czechoslovak government attempted to restore control. Many Czech and Slovak citizens kept their opinions private to avoid punishment, but some voiced their opinions and faced repression, while others chose to leave the country. In this thesis, I explore how two Czech composers, Marek Kopelent (b. 1932) and Petr Kotík (b. 1942) came to terms with writing music before and during the period of Normalization. My research draws on the work of Cold War scholars such as Jonathan Bolton, who has written about popular music during Normalization, and Thomas Svatos, who has written about the art music scene during the fifties. For information particular to art music during Normalization, I have relied on primary sources including existing interviews with the composers.

  • The Music of Julius Eastman
    “Damned Outrageous”: The Music of Julius Eastman In January of 1991 I published, in The Village Voice, an obituary for a composer who had died at age 49 the previous May. Active as he had been on the music scene of the 1980s, none of his closest associates on that scene knew he had already been dead for eight months. And when I called around for comments, some were skeptical of my news—because rumors of his death had circulated before. Such was the peculiar life of Julius Eastman, and its tragic, mysterious, yet somehow logical end. Julius Eastman (1940–1990) was a taut, wiry, gay African-American man. He had such an appearance of athleticism and pent-up energy that he could look dangerous, yet he had a gentle sense of humor, and his deep sepulchral voice, incommensurate with his slight figure, conveyed the solemn authority of a prophet. He was a fiery pianist, and a singer of phenomenal range and power. In 1970 he gave the American premiere, at Aspen, of Peter Maxwell Davies’s Eight Songs for a Mad King, a crazy theater piece depicting the descent into dementia of King George III, and one of the most difficult and demanding vocal works of the avant-garde. His astounding 1973 recording of the piece for Nonesuch was probably the closest he ever came to any visibility in the mainstream music world—until now. Born October 27, 1940, Eastman began studying piano at the age of fourteen, showing quick promise, and became a paid chorister in the Episcopal church in Ithaca, New York, where he was raised.

Ensemble, the oldest continuously operating ensemble for new music in the United States. It was established by the Czech-American fl utist and composer Petr Kotík almost immediately upon his arrival to the US in 1969. As Kotík says, the global COVID-19 pandemic is a good time to look back, as it has become impossible to look forward. But in the case of the S.E.M. Ensemble, we would no doubt be looking back over an eventful fi fty years in adventurous music making even if no such reason were forced upon us. It is impossible to discuss the S.E.M. Ensemble were supported by commissions from public access without discussing in detail the life and work of Petr radio stations, often also working in the electronic Kotík, its founder and director for over fi fty years, who music studios operated by these stations.

  • Call It Spectral | Village Voice
    Call It Spectral BY KYLE GANN TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 2004 AT 4 A.M. 1 American expat pianist Heather O'Donnell BERLIN—For the first time, it feels like the reign of postserialist music is over in Europe. Not that there isn't a lot of postserialist music I love. But Boulez's , Stockhausen's , and Nono's have come to feel like Brahmsian classics of my youth now, and Europe's reluctance to keep evolving musically has seemed scarily perverse. My first night at the MaerzMusik festival, March 19, in Berlin (where I was invited to tangentially talk on a panel about American music), made me fear more of the same. A brand-new work by French composer George Aperghis, , however brilliantly performed, regurgitated Boulezian vocal and mallet-percussion riffs that feel threadbare with use by this point. And so the next evening, even if less impressive in a way, allowed me to exhale with relief, and made it seem that Europe was exhaling as well. by Georg Friedrich Haas, played by the SWR Symphony Orchestra of Baden-Baden and Freiburg under the baton of Sylvain Cambreling, was admittedly not as elegantly written as , but at least it ventured boldly out of serialist territory. Big atonal sonorities moved in chaotic parallel, and for once a recent out of serialist territory. Big atonal sonorities moved in chaotic parallel, and for once a recent European had put away his tiny tools and microscope, and was painting with a big brush. Several minutes in, a pulsing single note from a marimba began to infect the entire orchestra.
