Consequently, the history of defective in many regards. These defects could be explained as resulting philosophy is taking the place of philosophy proper, and from a strategy according to which the aim of a commentary is not the history of musical thought replaces reflection about to provide a truthful description of musical phenomena but to form a desired image of a composition or a musical style in the minds of music. the listeners. This idea of ‘controlled reception’ was clearly outlined Lutosławski’s commentaries (including those that by the famous Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz (whose writings reflect on his own works) have been the subject of Lutosławski knew and highly appreciated) and is especially noticeable valuable publications, in the areas of both philological in the composer’s remarks on “controlled aleatoricism”, “thin textures” research and content analysis.

  • George Crumb Dedicated to Tadeusz Ochlewski, Director of Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne Burdocks (1970-1)
    BURDOCKS Christian Wolff was born in 1934 in Nice, France. He has lived mostly in the U.S. since 1941. He studied piano with Grete Sultan and composition, briefly, with John Cage. A particular feature of his music is the various freedoms it allows performers at the time of performance as well as the variable results possible for any one particular piece, for which various new notations have been invented. In 2004 he received an honorary Doctor of Arts degree from CalArts. Academically trained as a classicist, Wolff was professor of classics and music at Dartmouth College from 1971 to 1999. Wolff was a guest at CSULB this past April when the New Music Ensemble gave the world premiere of his work Robert commissioned for that concert. Christian Wolff’s Burdocks is a large work for an orchestra or orchestras. Each section of the work may be performed as a stand-alone work, and each is notated in its own fashion. Part iii of the piece, which the ensemble will perform tonight, consists of a brief text instruction.

  • JJ EDITED NR the Spaces of Dream
    The Spaces of Dream: Lutosławski’s Modernist Heterotopias As Witold Lutosławski connoisseurs bask in the afterglow of the 2013 centenary celebrations of his life, music and cultural significance in Poland, the UK and elsewhere, it is instructive to recall that his music has not enjoyed an entirely positive reception – not least because the more negative strand of that reception may be one of the reasons why his music had hitherto fallen ‘off the concert map’1 after his death in 1994. A small but significant critical subplot has questioned the quality of his major works. Its challenge has taken two main forms – torn halves of an underlying accusation of superficiality. Some critics have decried his music’s logic, arguing that its sensuous thrills mask a lack of syntactical rigour, although recent scholarship has disputed these claims.2 Others have found his music deficient in profundity, contrasting what they hear as a veneer of complexity to a lack of symbolic depth. James Harley has articulated both sides of this view with challenging clarity. Arguing in the 2001 essay collection Lutosławski Studies that Lutosławski’s post-tonal output, due to certain failings of its musical language, substituted expressive fireworks for more syntactically satisfying climaxes, Harley (parsing Terry Eagleton’s The Ideology 1 Fiona Maddocks, ‘Lutoslawski [sic]: Orchestral Works III – review’, ‘The New Review’, The Observer (18 November 2012), 27. 2 See Nicholas Reyland, ‘Lutosławski, “Akcja” and the Poetics of Musical Plot’, Music & Letters 88/4 (November 2007), 604-608 for a survey of this strand of Lutosławski reception plus an alternative perspective.

  • Remembering Lutoslawski Steven Stucky Most Prominent Work of Its Genre Since Shostakovich
    remembering lutoslawski Steven Stucky most prominent work of its genre since Shostakovich. And of course music lovers have embraced his later, more accessible Third and Fourth symphonies (1972-83; 1988-92) unreservedly. What explains this kind of success for a late-twentieth-century atonal composer? For a composer whose work avoids allusions to pop music, lacks the sort of tunes you go out whistling (usually), and, in a multicultural age, remains stubbornly true to its Western European ‘Classical’ heritage? Music that resists all concessions to fashion, to ‘relevance’, or to the habits of easy listening? The answers lie in fundamental values: the ravishing beauty of Lutosławski’s French-Slavic sound world, his rich harmonic language, his expressive melodic voice, his lucid forms, his attention to dramatic tension and Photo: ©Private collection of Krystyna Witkowska release, and, underpinning everything, his drive to communicate.

    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Compositional and Orchestrational Trends in the Orchestral Percussion Section Between the Years of 1960-2009 SUBMITTED TO THE MUSIC SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSIC Field of Percussion By Renee E. Keller EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2013 © Copyright by Renee Keller 2013 All Rights Reserved 4 ABSTRACT Compositional and Orchestrational Trends in the Orchestral Percussion Section Between the Years of 1960-2009 Renee E. Keller The purpose of this study was to identify new trends and innovations as regards the orchestral percussion section between the years of 1960-2009. In order identify possible trends this study examined 87 compositions written for orchestra between 1960 and 2009. The necessary historical background identified a number of trends already in use by 1960. Among those were increasing calls for special effects, the introduction and inclusion of the marimba and vibraphone in orchestral music, an increased demand for difficult and important mallet parts, general increases in the size and force of the percussion section, and an increased demand for expanded timpani range and tuning. Scores were examined for those trends as well for new or unusual playing techniques, the prevalence of multi-percussion setups in the orchestra, detail of composer instruction and percussion ensemble in the orchestra. Changing opinions and attitudes regarding percussion which occurred during the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century were also documented. The results indicate that a number of changes took place in orchestral percussion writing from 1960-2009.
