Autour de l’intégrale des douze symphonies dites londoniennes de Haydn, Intégrale des Symphonies un instantané musical de la capitale anglaise, entre humour et solennité, londoniennes I tradition et modernité… Joseph Haydn Nombre de symphonies de Haydn portent des titres imagés, donnés après coup Symphonie no 103 par les chroniqueurs en référence à un motif de l’œuvre ou à un événement Symphonie no 102 qui en a marqué l’exécution. Les symphonies londoniennes ne font pas exception. Symphonie no 104 Toutefois, au-delà des anecdotes qu’elles ont pu susciter, c’est au sein de la grande histoire des formes musicales que ces pages ont laissé leur empreinte. Orchestra of the Age C’est de Londres, où il séjourna de 1791 à 1795, que Haydn rapporta un livret of Enlightenment qui avait d’abord été destiné à Haendel. Ce livret deviendra celui de La Création, Frans Brüggen, direction sans doute son œuvre la plus célèbre. Ce sont deux époques de la tradition chorale anglaise que chante l’ensemble JEUDI 21 SEPTEMBRE, 20H vocal The Sixteen, sous la direction de son fondateur, Harry Christophers. La première est celle du règne d’Élisabeth Ire. La seconde époque, la nôtre, Intégrale des Symphonies est l’héritière de ce passé prestigieux. Pour qualifier la floraison d’œuvres nées londoniennes II sous la plume de compositeurs comme John Dowland, William Byrd, John Bull ou Orlando Gibbons, certains historiens de la musique parlent d’une tradition ou Joseph Haydn école «virginaliste» anglaise, voire d’une « époque virginaliste » (de 1570 à 1650 Symphonie no 93 environ). Skip Sempé, Pierre Hantaï et Olivier Fortin l’illustrent avec brio. Symphonie no 95 Belle rencontre que celle du London Sinfonietta, ambassadeur de la musique Symphonie no 96 contemporaine en Grande-Bretagne depuis 1968, et du label Warp, qui représente le meilleur de la scène électronique britannique. Il ne s’agit pas seulement Orchestra of the Age de juxtaposer deux univers, celui des classiques du XXe siècle et celui of Enlightenment des productions de musiques électroniques d’aujourd’hui, mais de provoquer Frans Brüggen, direction un véritable dialogue entre ces univers. James Dillon et Jonathan Harvey témoignent chacun à sa manière d’un certain VENDREDI 22 SEPTEMBRE, 20H éclectisme de la musique contemporaine britannique. Kenneth Hesketh et SALLE PLEYEL Rebecca Saunders prolongent cet éclectisme, tout en s’identifiant plus volontiers à des modèles issus des arts plastiques. Quant à l’œuvre de Brian Ferneyhough, Joseph Haydn elle a suscité bien des débats sur la difficulté de la musique contemporaine et La Création la tendance à une «nouvelle complexité» qu’il aurait inaugurée. Au regard de cette quête d’une pure énergie sonore tramée dans ses moindres détails, Gabrieli Consort & Players si les œuvres de Dillon, Harvey ou Birtwistle peuvent paraître plus traditionnelles, Paul McCreesh, direction c’est que leurs enjeux sont ailleurs : dans la recherche des contrastes stylistiques, Sandrine Piau, soprano dans l’exploration des «distances» entre les instruments et leurs couleurs… Mark Padmore, ténor Neal Davies, basse 2 NP WARP DEF 15/09/06 15:04 Page 3 SAMEDI 23 SEPTEMBRE, 20H SAMEDI 30 SEPTEMBRE, MARDI 3 OCTOBRE, 20H DE 9H A 18H Œuvres de John Cage, DIMANCHE 1er OCTOBRE, Œuvres de Kenneth Hesketh, György Ligeti, Conlon Nancarrow, DE 9H A 16H Rebecca Saunders, James Dillon Charles Ives, Steve Reich et et Jonathan Harvey Mira Calix Citéscopie Musiques de Aphex Twin, Boards Les Symphonies londoniennes Hidéki Nagano, piano of Canada, Squarepusher arrangées de Haydn Ensemble intercontemporain par Morgan Hayes et David Horne Susanna Mälkki, direction Avec Jean-Pierre Bartoli, Régie informatique Ircam London Sinfonietta Michel Noiray, Pascale Saint-André Martyn Brabbins, direction et Marc Vignal Mira Calix, musique électronique live JEUDI 5 OCTOBRE, 20H SAMEDI 30 SEPTEMBRE, 20H Œuvres de James Dillon, MARDI 26 SEPTEMBRE, 20H Brian Ferneyhough, Jonathan Intégrale des Symphonies Harvey et Harrison Birtwistle Œuvres de William Byrd, londoniennes III John Sheppard, Gabriel Jackson, Solistes de l’Ensemble Benjamin Britten, William Cornysh, Joseph Haydn intercontemporain Jonathan Dove, John Tavener, Symphonie no 98 Thomas Tomkins, Orlando Gibbons, Symphonie no 97 Robert Ramsey et Edward Naylor Symphonie no 94 The Sixteen Les Musiciens du Louvre - Grenoble Harry Christophers, direction Marc Minkowski, direction VENDREDI 29 SEPTEMBRE, 20H DIMANCHE 1er OCTOBRE, 16h30 The Virgin Harpsichord Intégrale des Symphonies londoniennes IV Œuvres de John Dowland, Luis Milan, William Byrd, John Bull, Joseph Haydn Orlando Gibbons, Anthony Holborne, Symphonie no 99 Peter Phillips, Giles Farnaby… Symphonie no 100 Symphonie no 101 Skip Sempé, virginal Pierre Hantaï, clavecin Les Musiciens du Louvre - Grenoble Olivier Fortin, clavecin Marc Minkowski, direction 3 NP WARP DEF 15/09/06 15:04 Page 4 SAMEDI 23 SEPTEMBRE – 20H Salle des concerts London Sinfonietta – Warp Records Film: Poème symphonique pour cent métronomes de György Ligeti Conlon Nancarrow – arrangement de Yvar Mikhashoff Étude no 7 John Cage Sonates no 1 et 2 – extraites des Sonates et Interludes Boards of Canada – arrangement de David Horne Disintegrations 2: Pete Standing Alone Mira Calix Nunu Aphex Twin – arrangement de David Horne Disintegrations 3: afx237 v7 John Cage Sonates no 5 et 6 – extraites des Sonates et Interludes Steve Reich New York Counterpoint entracte: projection de films Dayvan Cowboy de Melissa Olsen – musique de Boards of Canada Androids With Delayed Reactions de Zan Lyons – musique de Zan Lyons Ionisation, de Flat-e – musique de Ultre Umbra Penumbra, de Liam O – musique de Mira Calix Citiscan, de HFR-Lab – musique de Synapsia FKO, de SSSR – musique de Subtle 4 NP WARP DEF 15/09/06 15:04 Page 5 Charles Ives The Unanswered Question John Cage Sonate no 12 – extraite des Sonates et Interludes György Ligeti Concerto de chambre Squarepusher – arrangement de Morgan Hayes Port Rhombus Squarepusher – arrangement de David Horne Disintegrations 1: The Tide London Sinfonietta Martyn Brabbins, direction John Constable, piano préparé Mark van de Wiel, clarinette Warp Records Mira Calix, artiste Warp Records invitée Flat-e, Bluespoon, visuels Sound Intermedia, design sonore Fin du concert vers 22h30. 5 NP WARP DEF 15/09/06 15:04 Page 6 Timbres, espaces, mouvements Le projet mené conjointement par le London Sinfonietta et le label Warp, qui reste depuis 15 ans l’un des plus performants laboratoires de la scène électronique actuelle, va bien au-delà des sempiternelles (et sans doute obsolètes) confrontations/distinctions entre musique «savante» et «non savante», écrite et non écrite, de même qu’il ne saurait être résumé par le terme si galvaudé de « crossover ». On pourrait s’amuser à dresser la liste des analogies, des correspondances qui relient entre elles les compositions de ce programme confrontant des œuvres phares de la musique du XXe siècle et des transcriptions pour orchestre de morceaux de musique électronique «contemporaine». Remarquer par exemple combien les sonorités désaccordées et intemporelles de la Douxième Sonate pour piano préparé de John Cage peuvent rappeler les expérimentations «satiesques» auxquelles se livre Aphex Twin sur son album Drukqs (dont est extrait afx237 v7). Ou encore que la pulsation chaloupée et hypnotique de la Cinquième Sonate n’est pas si éloignée de ces boucles hip-hop qui rythment généralement les morceaux de Boards of Canada. Remarquer également que le titre de Clocks and Clouds (œuvre emblématique de György Ligeti) pourrait justement fournir une très belle définition de la musique de Boards of Canada – qui elle-même oppose le mesuré et l’immatériel, l’imperturbable et l’impondérable, marie le rythmique et l’atmosphérique. On pourrait par ailleurs établir d’autres parallèles entre The Unanswered Question de Charles Ives, avec ses cordes séraphiques ponctuées par les interrogations d’une trompette à la limite de la tonalité, etun morceau comme Peter Standing Alone, avec ses quatre accords immuables sur lesquels font parfois irruption des voix plus dissonantes. On pourrait souligner, ensuite, les similitudes entre le travail de la Sud-Africaine Chantal Passamonte, alias Mira Calix, et certaines œuvres de musique concrète ou électroacoustique; les paysages panoramiques de sa pièce Nunu, composée, dans le cadre d’un projet au Museum d’histoire naturelle de Genève, exclusivement à partir d’enregistrements de chants d’insectes, retraités jusqu’à pouvoir parfois sonner comme de véritables instruments, pourront aussi faire songer au New York mis en son par Steve Reich, ou aux métronomes quasi mélodieux de Ligeti. On pourrait noter que les effets sonores de Reich, ses jeux sur les dynamiques, les répétitions, les réverbérations, rejoignent les préoccupations sonores

But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements.

Behalve haar studie over het gebruik van slangwoorden bij jongeren en haar passie voor politieromans houdt ze zich ver van de donkere kant van het grootstadsleven. Tijdens een bezoek aan een bar is ze ongewild getuige van een intiem moment tussen een man en een vrouw. Verschrikt, maar evenzeer gefascineerd door de passie tussen deze twee vreemden, merkt ze slechts de zwoele blik en een tatoeage op van de man. Als er daags nadien een moord blijkt te zijn gepleegd in de buurt van Franny’s huis, wordt ze benaderd door detective Malloy (Mark Ruffalo), die vermoedt dat Franny meer weet.

Numerous international and South African composers’ and musicians’ ASSISTANT CURATOR works are featured, from the first pioneers to DIMITRI VOUDOURIS various contemporary artists. The origins of electronic music can be traced back to the audio analytical work of the PROGRAMMING OF OPEN GL GRAPHICS TEXT DISPLAY German physicist and mathematician, GERRIE ROOS Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1821-1894), who built an electronically controlled instrument to analyse SOUND AND EQUIPMENT combinations of tones. Von Helmholtz was CORINNE COOPER not concerned with musical applications, but rather with the scientific analysis of sound. The first electronic instruments such as the PAMPHLET EDITOR AND DESIGNER Telharmonium and Chorelcello were created ALBERT SAPSFORD between 1870 and 1915. Thereafter, between 1915 and 1928, the Audion Piano, Theremin Sphäraphon, Pianorad and Ondes Martenot MUSIC SELECTED BY emerged.
