    Chapter 1: Schoenberg the Conductor

    Demystifying Schoenberg's Conducting Avior Byron Video: Silent, black and white footage of Schönberg conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a rehearsal of Verklärte Nacht, Op. 4 in March 1935. Audio ex. 1: Schoenberg conducting Pierrot lunaire, ‘Eine blasse Wäscherin’, Los Angeles, CA, 24 September 1940. Audio ex. 2: Schoenberg conducting Verklärte Nacht Op. 4, Berlin, 1928. Audio ex. 3: Schoenberg conducting Verklärte Nacht Op. 4, Berlin, 1928. In 1975 Charles Rosen wrote: 'From time to time appear malicious stories of eminent conductors who have not realized that, in a piece of … Schoenberg, the clarinettist, for example, picked up an A instead of a B-flat clarinet and played his part a semitone off'.1 This widespread anecdote is often told about Schoenberg as a conductor. There are also music critics who wrote negatively and quite decisively about Schoenberg's conducting. For example, Theo van der Bijl wrote in De Tijd on 7 January 1921 about a concert in Amsterdam: 'An entire Schoenberg evening under the direction of the composer, who unfortunately is not a conductor!' Even in the scholarly literature one finds declarations from time to time that Schoenberg was an unaccomplished conductor.2 All of this might have contributed to the fact that very few people now bother taking Schoenberg's conducting seriously.3 I will challenge this prevailing negative notion by arguing that behind some of the criticism of Schoenberg's conducting are motives, which relate to more than mere technical issues. Relevant factors include the way his music was received in general, his association with Mahler, possibly anti-Semitism, occasionally negative behaviour of performers, and his complex relationship with certain people.

Silver – Synthesizer Check out around a hundred videos of other New Music New College concerts on our YouTube channel. PROGRAM NOTE Louis Andriessen’s startling “Workers Union” is a score constructed like no other. Each player performs from the same score, which uses a single staff line to designate the middle register of the player’s instrument–midway between the lowest and highest notes. The music is written with detailed rhythms and a clear indication of pitch direction—that is, higher or lower notes—but no precise pitches are indicated for anyone. At first, reading this kind of notation is disorienting. Gradually, as the performer becomes more accustomed to this system of making music, Andriessen’s vision and intent become clearer. When a group of players starts putting it together, there is an electric energy. Written in 1975 for “any loud sounding group of instruments,” Andriessen’s piece showcases elements of his musical language that would become recognizable features in future pieces. The harmony is non-functional and dissonant; unison lines are heavily favored, and the rhythmic language is often aggressive.

Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] THE MARIE-JOSÉE KRAVIS PRIZE FOR NEW MUSIC AT THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC AWARDED TO LOUIS ANDRIESSEN New York Philharmonic To Commission New Orchestral Work by Mr. Andriessen For Premiere in 2018–19 Season Led by Jaap van Zweden in His First Season as Music Director The Marie-Josée Kravis Prize for New Music at the New York Philharmonic, which recognizes a composer for extraordinary artistic endeavor in the field of new music, has been awarded to Dutch composer Louis Andriessen. Mr. Andriessen was chosen to receive the Kravis Prize for his lasting contributions to new music by a Selection Committee of leading artists and administrators who have close ties to the New York Philharmonic and a demonstrated interest in fostering new music. One of the world’s largest new-music prizes, the Kravis Prize for New Music is awarded every two seasons, and includes $200,000 and a commission to write a work for the New York Philharmonic. Funding for the Kravis Prize comes from a $10 million gift to the New York Philharmonic in 2009 by Henry R. Kravis in honor of his wife, Marie-Josée, for whom the Prize is named. The Philharmonic will give the World Premiere of a new orchestral work by Mr. Andriessen in the 2018–19 season, led by Jaap van Zweden, who will then be in his first season as Music Director of the New York Philharmonic. Mr. Andriessen said: “It is an immense honor to receive The Marie-Josée Kravis Prize for New Music, and I send my deep and solemn feelings of gratitude.

  • MADNESS Notes

    MADNESS Notes

    MADNESS program notes Yvonne Chen, piano Alexey Stanchinsky (Russia, 1888-1914) began his formal studies as a pianist and composer traveling from the village of Logachyovo to Moscow for lessons with Josef Lhévinne, Konstantin Eiges, Nikolai Zhilyayev, and Alexander Grechaninov before finally studying with Sergey Taneyev and Konstantin Igumnov at the Moscow Conservatory in 1907. While he seemed to show a lot of promise, the death of his father the following year impacted him so greatly that he stopped composing. Upon bouts of hallucinations and “religious mania”, he was placed in clinical confinement. Reflected in the few pieces he composed after 1908, including the Canon in E Mixolydian Mode (1913-1914), this incurable madness presented itself in his music with a sudden obsessive use of “objective” formal structures, primarily the canon. The strict canon in four parts is not only inventive with its relentless 7/8 asymmetrical meter, but its expansive range in each voice produce endless voice crossings, creating new discernible melodies. The use of the Mixolydian mode seems !to reflect his influences of Mussorgsky and the use of Russian folksong. His mysterious death still remains largely speculation. However, it is known that just while the young pianist-composer was beginning to achieve considerable fame in 1914, he was found !dead by a river after two days meandering in the countryside by his hometown of Logachyovo. While Stanchinsky has been largely forgotten and is an unfamiliar name to many, his brief life was remembered by his acquaintance, Nikolai Medtner, in his Three Pieces Op. 31 written in memory of him.

    THE LATE CHORAL WORKS OF TON DE LEEUW AN ANALYTICAL STUDY by RENS TIENSTRA A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Ton de Leeuw (1926–1996) is widely regarded as one of the most important post-war Dutch composers. Taught among others by Olivier Messiaen and Jaap Kunst, and strongly influenced by non-Western music, De Leeuw was a teacher at the University of Amsterdam and professor of composition and electronic music at the Amsterdam Conservatory from 1959 to 1986, a position in which he educated many Dutch composers active today. His book Music of the Twentieth Century, first published in 1964, is still regarded as an authoritative work. Despite De Leeuw’s formidable reputation as composer and teacher, and the regular performance of his works, hardly any scholarly research into his oeuvre has yet been undertaken. The current study is an attempt to change this, exploring five of De Leeuw’s later choral compositions as representative of the style he described in terms of ‘extended modality’.

    Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers Limited 29 November 2010 for immediate release Louis Andriessen wins Grawemeyer Award for his opera La Commedia Photo: © Francesca Patella Louis Andriessen Louis Andriessen has won the 2011 Grawemeyer Award for Music La Commedia Composition for his Dante-inspired multimedia opera La Commedia, Winner of the 2011 premiered in 2008. The Grawemeyer Award, granted annually by the Grawemeyer Award University of Louisville, is the world’s most prestigious composition for Composition prize, worth $100,000 (£62,000; €73,000), and Louis Andriessen is the first Dutch composer to win the award. Andriessen’s La Commedia was selected from a wide international field of entries, and the Grawemeyer’s prize announcement describes how the composer “uses Dante’s epic poem as a springboard for subtle and ironic commentary on modern life, drawing a multilingual libretto from the Bible and other sources. Although some describe Andriessen’s music as hard-edged, it is always human and humane.” Andriessen on winning the Louis Andriessen writes of his reaction on winning the award: Grawemeyer Award “Just before the Second World War, I was born in a sidestreet by a small canal in the medieval centre of Utrecht. Believe me, 71 years later, getting the world-famous Grawemeyer Award for La Commedia seems to be completely unreal. How could this happen? “When I was four years old my father walked with me over the bridge of the canal to St Catherine’s Cathedral. In that church he played the organ and conducted the choir which twice a week included 40 boy trebles (girl sopranos were permitted only 25 years later).
