    Erkki-Sven Tüür

    © Kaupo Kikkas Erkki-Sven Tüür Contemporary BIOGRAPHIE Erkki-Sven Tüür Mit einem breit gefächerten musikalischen Hintergrund und einer Vielzahl von Interessen und Einflüssen ist Erkki- Sven Tüür einer der einzigartigsten Komponisten der Zeitgenössischen Musik. Tüür hat 1979 die Rockgruppe In Spe gegründet und bis 1983 für die Gruppe als Komponist, Flötist, Keyboarder und Sänger gearbeitet. Als Teil der lebhaften Szene der Zeitgenössischen Musik Estlands unternahm er instrumentale Studien an der Tallinn Music School, studierte Komposition mit Jaan Rääts an der Estonian Academy of Music und erhielt Unterricht bei Lepo Sumera. Intensive energiereiche Transformationen bilden den Hauptcharakter von Tüürs Werken, wobei instrumentale Musik im Vordergrund seiner Arbeit steht. Bis heute hat er neun Sinfonien, Stücke für Sinfonie- und Streichorchester, neun Instrumentalkonzerte, ein breites Spektrum an Kammermusikwerken und eine Oper komponiert. Tüür möchte mit seiner Musik existenzielle Fragen aufwerfen, vor allem die Frage: „Was ist unsere Aufgabe?“ beschäftigt ihn. Er stellte fest, dass dies eine wiederkehrende Frage von Denkern und Philosophen verschiedener Länder ist. Eins seiner Ziele ist es, die kreative Energie des Hörers zu erreichen. Tüür meint, die Musik als eine abstrakte Form von Kunst ist dazu fähig, verschiedene Visionen für jeden von uns und jedes individuelle Wesen zu erzeugen, denn wir sind alle einzigartig. Sein Kompositionsansatz ähnelt der Art und Weise, mit der ein Architekt ein mächtiges Gebäude wie eine Kathedrale, ein Theater oder einen anderen öffentlichen Ort entwirft. Er meint dennoch, dass die Verantwortung eines Komponisten über die eines Architekten hinausgeht, weil er Drama innerhalb des Raums mit verschiedenen Charakteren und Kräften konstruiert und dabei eine bestimmte, lebende Form von Energie kreiert.

We are a non-profit organization that inspires and unites youth from diverse backgrounds to become global citizens through music. Founded in Hyde Park in direct response to the Civil Rights Movement in 1956, Chicago Children’s Choir (CCC) has grown from one choir into a vast network of in-school and after-school programs driven by one mission: to inspire and change lives through music. CCC has impacted the lives of more than 50,000 diverse youth throughout its 65-year history. Since its founding, CCC has focused on building programs that reflect the racial and economic diversity of Chicago. Eighty percent of youth served are from low-moderate income homes and participate completely free of charge. High school seniors enrolled in CCC have a 100 percent graduation rate, becoming global ambassadors who carry on CCC’s core values in a wide array of professional fields. Under the leadership of President Josephine Lee, Chicago Children’s Choir has achieved new heights and revolutionized the youth choral arts through innovative creative partnerships and new artistic endeavors.

    6 THE PERCEPTION OF SINGING JOHAN SUNDBERG Department of Speech, Music, and Hearing Kungl Tekniska HOgskolan Stockholm, Sweden I. INTRODUCTION An understanding of the perception of singing may be developed from two different types of investigation. One type considers an acoustic property of sing- ing, varies it systematically, and explores the perception of these variations. Such investigations are rare in singing research. Another type of investigation concerns the acoustic correlates of certain types of voices or phonations. The underlying typology of voices and phonations must be based mainly on aural perception. Consequently, even such studies have perceptual relevance. Most studies of sing- ing have this type of perceptual relevance. However, research on the perception of singing is not as well developed as the closely related field of speech research. Therefore, readers will not find an exhaustive presentation in this chapter. Rather they will find a presentation of different studies only partly related to each other. A confession on the part of the author of this chapter is in order here. Writing this chapter has been a bit embarrassing, because so many references to my own work seemed necessary. As readers may notice, it is difficult to be fully objective in the presentation of one's own investigations. However, as was just mentioned, relatively few studies on the perceptual aspects of singing have been published. When we listen to a singer, a number of remarkable perceptual facts are appar- ent. For instance: How is it that we
