Douglas Knehans douglas knehans list of works armadillo edition Reviews “This is music of tremendous imagination. Knehans scores with a masterly hand, his sound paintbrush unerringly hitting the mark.” —Fanfare Magazine (Mar/Apr, 2016) “...[Knehans’] choral music comes across as well rooted and accessible, and always seems to hit an emotional nerve... should be of great appeal to anyone interested in new choral music.” —Classical Music Sentinel (Nov, 2016) “Cascade (for two pianos) is a substantial work ... effective ... incisive ... hauntingly beautiful...” — Fanfare Magazine (Apr 06, 2012) “I was particularly impressed with Knehans's setting of the poem called ‘You're.’ His music is brilliantly catchy and eerily bright, providing an extra dimension to Plath's heavily condensed imagery.” — The Australian (Dec 02, 1986) “...[Knehans] had a gift of pulse and kinetic impetus that propelled [his] music onward...” — The Straits Times, Singapore (Nov 03, 2009) “‘Night Chains’ by Douglas Knehans, was like a Hitchcock soundtrack gone truly psycho: wildly inventive.” — The Miami Herald (Apr 18, 1994) “‘Winter Steps’ is a witty, ambitious, inventive and passionate work ... a brief and powerful piece...” — The Tuscaloosa News (Feb 28, 1996) “The piece [seraphic ride] tells an exciting story, ever- intensifying in color, thematic ideas, texture and tempo.” — The Washington Post (Jun 24, 2002) “Other highlights included Douglas Knehans's ‘Bang’... Knehans uses electronics and a driving rhythm to explore variations in time and attack. However, there are a directness of expression and lack of pretension which resonate with his compatriots' music.” — The Sydney Morning Herald (Jun 03, 2003) Biography With a gift for extravagant color, beautiful melodic style, clear musical form and engaging, soulfully dramatic work, the music of Douglas Knehans has gained the attention and warm appreciation of audiences and performers around the world. Knehans’ two-piano work cascade has been performed in Steinway Hall, New York; Tokyo, Japan; Kiev, Ukraine and recorded for worldwide CD release on Ablaze Records by the virtuoso piano duo The Pridonoff Duo in a recording hailed by Fanfare Magazine as “ … effective … incisive … hauntingly beautiful … .” A disc of his early music for acoustic and electronic cello was released on Ablaze Records in the fall of 2010 which was called “ … amazingly sophisticated … very beautiful … intriguing … captivating …” by Audiophile Audition. With a reputation for crafting large, bold works, Knehans’ latest commissions are for a new flute concerto for noted American flutist Bradley Garner and a new cello concerto for cellist Paul York whose solo performance The New York Concert Review hailed as “… brilliant … one had to be in awe of his playing.” Knehans holds degrees from the Australian National University; Queens College, CUNY where he graduated with the Luigi Dallapiccola Composition Award (1991) for outstanding achievement in music composition and Yale University where he won the Woods Chandler Memorial Award for best composition in a larger form among others. A fellow of Carnegie Hall, the Victorian Council of the Arts, MacDowell Colony and Leighton Artist Colony (Banff), Knehans has won awards from the Australian Film and Television School, American Music Centre, National Endowment for the Arts and Meet the Composer. He has been a guest of the Czech-American Summer Music Institute in Prague, Czech Republic; the New Music, New Faces Festival in Krakow, Poland; Premieres of the Season Festival in Kiev, Ukraine, and a number of others. Knehans has also been a visiting professor of composition at the Australian National University (1981 and 2004) National University of Singapore (2006) and the Krakow Academy of Music, Poland (2007) and has delivered lectures on his music at New York University and Yale University and others. He was Director of the University of Tasmania Conservatorium of Music from 2000-2008, created and was the inaugural Artistic Director of the Australian International Summer Orchestra Institute from 2005-2008. Between 2008-2010 he was Dean of the College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) in Cincinnati and is currently the Norman Dinerstein Professor of Composition Scholar at CCM. Knehans was recently named Composer of the Year 2013 by the Ohio Music Teachers Association and was a 2011 winner of the International Music Prize for Excellence in Music Composition (Athens, Greece) and was a 2012 semi-finalist for The American Prize in Composition (Orchestra-Professional Division) for his work ripple—for large orchestra. In April of 2013 he was awarded the George A. Rieveschl Award for Creative and/or Scholarly Work by the President of the University of Cincinnati. In 2015 he won second prize in The American Prize competition for his orchestral work Cascade and his disc Concertos won Gold Medal-Best of Show in the Global Music Awards. Douglas Knehans is also the Director and Producer for ABLAZE Records and is a voting member of The Recording Academy, the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, which administers the GRAMMY Awards. http://www.douglasknehans.com http://www.youtube.com/user/dknehans/videos https://soundcloud.com/douglasknehans Orchestral cascade – concerto for orchestra (2011) 22 minutes 3[1.2.pic] 3[1.2.Eh] 4[1.2.Ebcl.bcl] 3[1.2.cbn] – 4 3 3 1 – timp+3 – hp – str perc: xyl, crotales, flexatone, tri, tamtam, glock, vib, chimes, cr cym, bongos(2), timbales (2), sd, tom-toms (6), bd ae 54 …cascade… echo… (2012) 8 minutes 3[1.2.pic] 3[1.2.Eh] 3[1.2.Ebcl] 3[1.2.cbn] – 4 3 3 1 – timp+3 – hp – str perc: xyl, crotales, tri, glock, sd, bd ae 59 Dedicated to the Sydney Symphony Orchestra lamentation (2004) 10 minutes for string orchestra (minimum 10,8,6,4,4) ae 42 First performance in Hobart, Australia on April 5, 2005 as part of the Ten Days on the Island International Arts Festival by the University of Tasmania Conservatorium Chamber Soloists directed by Peter Tanfield ripple (2002) 14 minutes 3[1.2.3/pic] 3[1.2.3/Eh] 3[1.Ebcl.bcl] 3[1.2.cbn] – 4 2 3 1 – timp+4 – pno – str perc: mar, vib, sd, tri, tambn, anvil, bd ae 40 First performance in Kiev, Ukraine on April 11, 2007 by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine at the Premieres of the Season Festival, Kiev, Ukraine time processional (1995) 17 minutes for wind orchestra 3[1stfl.2ndfl.pics] 3[1stob.2ndob.Ehs] 4[1stcl.2ndcl.3rdcl.bcl] 3[1stbsn.2ndbsn.cbn] 3sax[alts.tens.bars] – 4 5[1sttpt.2ndtpt.3rdtpt.1stcorn.2ndcorn] 3 1+euph – pno – timp+3 – str bs perc: vib, chimes, mar, glock, xyl (2), Ch. cym., sus. cym.(2), tamtam (2 – lrg & sm), gong, maracas, wblk (3 lrg), temblks(4), bd, hi-hat, whp, ten dr, sd, tambn, sandpaper blks, lrg tri, rototom ae 28 First performance in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA on April 20, 1995 by the Alabama Wind Ensemble conducted by Gerald Welker, Commissioned with the assistance of the University of Alabama, Research Grants Committee In Memoriam Witold Lutoslawski unfinished earth (2016) 33 minutes 3[1.2.3/pic] 3[1.2.Eh] 4[1.2.bcl] 3[1.2.cbn] – 4 4 3 1 – timp+3 – prep. pno. – hp – str perc: 2 bongos (high and low), 4 tom-toms (high to low), 2 sds, cr cym, 3 Kick dr (muted), bd, 4 wdblk (high to low), 4 Almglocken (high to low, mounted at back to a stand and unmuted), Orch ch, xyl, tri, 2 Ride Cymbals (high and low), 2 sus cym (high and low), 5 metal cans (high to low), anvil, br dr, lg temple gong, tam-tam ae 73 First performance in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA on March 11, 2016 by the CCM Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Mark Gibson winter steps (1983) 11 minutes for orchestra 3[1.2.pic] 3[1.2.Eh] 3[1.2.bcl] 3[1.2.cbn] – 4 3 3 1 – timp+2 – pno/cel – str perc: mar, whip, cr.cym, xyl, bd ae 4 First performance in Melbourne, Australia on May 12, 1985 by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra conducted by Michael Brimer Concertos a Patchen cycle (2012) 24 minutes for baritone and orchestra 3[1.2.pic] 3[1.2.Eh] 3[1.2.bcl] 3[1.2.cbn] – 4 3 3 1 – tmp+2 – harp – baritone solo – str perc: tamtam, glock., sd, bd ae 66 blaze (1998) 22 minutes concerto for horn, strings, harp and percussion hp – perc (2) – solo horn – str perc: glock, mar, vib, bd, Ch. cym, siz cym, tamtam ae 33 Commissioned by Darryl Poulsen, The Australia Council Performing Arts Board and the Arts Council of Western Australia black city (2015) 45 minutes concerto for violoncello and orchestra, No. 2 Concertino: Cimbalom, Prep.

  • 'And There Came All Manner of Choirs:' Melbourne's Burgeoning Choral Scene Since 1950 *
    SYMPOSIUM: CHORAL MUSIC IN MELBOURNE ‘And there Came all Manner of Choirs:’ Melbourne’s Burgeoning Choral Scene since 1950 * Peter Campbell The great era of the community choral society in Melbourne—as for much of Australia—was probably the fifty years straddling the year 1900, but there is a continuous and frequently vigorous lineage traceable from the earliest years of settlement to the present. District choirs, including the North Melbourne and Collingwood Choral Societies, and the Prahran Philharmonic Society, were established in the period after 1850, during the prosperous gold- rush years,1 when wealth was able to support the cultural pursuits that were the trappings of higher social aspirations. Similar but later organisations include such choirs as the Malvern Choral Union, established in 1907.2 The Melbourne Philharmonic Society, which has been established in 1853, flourished after Bernard Heinze was appointed in 1937,3 especially once the ABC was engaging it for many performances, thus alleviating the Philharmonic of the burden of orchestral and promotional costs. This article examines state of choirs in Melbourne from the time of Heinze’s gradual lessening of duties at the Philharmonic, in the early 1950s, to the present day. Changes in purpose, structure and quantity (both in terms of the number of singers and the number of organisations) are noted, and social and musical reasons for the differences are advanced. A summary of Melbourne’s contemporary choral landscape is presented in order to illustrate the change that has occurred over the period under discussion. The lengthy, productive and intimate relationship between choir, conductor and broadcaster seen in the case of the Philharmonic, Bernard Heinze and the ABC, also exacted a great cost.
