The energy, excitement, commitment, and intensity are so exciting and wonderful for a composer. Some of the very best performances I’ve ever had have been by the Philharmonic.” — Christopher Rouse _______________________________________ American composer Christopher Rouse will return in the 2013–14 season to continue his two- year tenure as the Philharmonic’s Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence. The second person to hold the Composer-in-Residence title since Alan Gilbert’s inaugural season, following Magnus Lindberg, Mr. Rouse’s compositions and musical insights will be highlighted on subscription programs; in the Philharmonic’s appearance at the Spring For Music festival; in the NY PHIL BIENNIAL; on CONTACT! events; and in the ASIA / WINTER 2014 tour. Mr. Rouse said: “Part of the experience of music should be an exposure to the pulsation of life as we know it, rather than as people in the 18th or 19th century might have known it. It is wonderful that Alan is so supportive of contemporary music and so involved in performing and programming it.” 2 Alan Gilbert said: “I’ve always said and long felt that Chris Rouse is one of the really important composers working today.

I see my music now as a synthesis of these elements, combined with what I learned from Grisey and the spectralists, and I detect from Kraft to my latest pieces the same underlying tastes and sense of drama.” – Magnus Lindberg The shift in musical thinking that Magnus Lindberg thus described in December 2012, a few weeks before the premiere of Era, was utter and profound. Lindberg’s composer profile has evolved from his early edgy modernism, “carved in stone” to use his own words, to the softer and more sonorous idiom that he has embraced recently, suggesting a spiritual kinship with late Romanticism and the great masters of the early 20th century. On the other hand, in the same comment Lindberg also mentioned features that have remained constant in his music, including his penchant for drama going back to the early defiantly modernistKraft (1985).

The aftershocks of Kraft gave birth to the edgy and aggressive UR for chamber ensemble and electronics (1986), but after that Lindberg felt that he had come to the end of this path. The transition was underlined by a severe tropical disease which he contracted on holiday and which prevented him from working for 18 months. Having returned to the drawing board, so to speak, Lindberg began to explore new ideals. The most substantial change occurred in his harmonic thinking. Lindberg described his new approach as “reflecting a tightly structured harmonic model against a kind of natural way of hearing and organising harmony, based on the overtone series,” or, in other words, a merger of serialist and spectral approaches. This new style translated into a more nuanced palette of sonorities, clear-cut textural designs and more determinedly dramaturgical processes.

The changes in his idiom and expression have not been abrupt but are the outcome of gradual musical evolution progressing slowly from one work to the next. Alongside this ongoing stylistic shift, Lindberg’s recent career in the 2010s was outlined by two appointments as composer-in-residence, both spanning multiple seasons, one with the New York Philharmonic (2009– 2012) and the other with the London Philharmonic (2014–2017). Both included commissions for several extensive works. Two Episodes and Accused, featured on the present disc, came about as a result of the London Philharmonic residency and were thus premiered in London. Nevertheless, as is currently common, both works actually had multiple commissioning parties. This reflects the prominent status that Lindberg has attained as a composer and also illustrates that the orchestra is his principal instrument. The co-commissioners of Two Episodes (2016) in addition to the London Philharmonic were BBC Radio 3, the Helsinki Festival and Casa da Música Porto.

  • Reinterpreting the Concerto Three Finnish Clarinet Concertos Written For
    Reinterpreting the Concerto Three Finnish clarinet concertos written for Kari Kriikku Sapphire Clare Littler MA by Research University of York Music December 2018 Reinterpreting the Concerto: Three Finnish clarinet concertos written for Kari Kriikku Abstract The origins of the word concerto can be traced to two different sources: the first is the Italian translation, to mean ‘agreement’, and the other stems from the Latin concertare, which means ‘to compete’. Ironically, the duality presented by these two translations encapsulates the true meaning of the concerto: opposition and resolution. This thesis focuses on Finnish works for clarinet and orchestra composed for Kari Kriikku in the last forty years, and seeks to analyse three in depth: Jukka Tiensuu’s Puro (1989); Magnus Lindberg’s Clarinet Concerto (2002); and Kaija Saariaho’s D’OM LE VRAI SENS (2010). The works have been chosen as these composers were all born around a similar time in Finland, and all worked with the same clarinettist, whom they all know personally. Through analysis, Reinterpreting the Concerto seeks to discover how each of these composers tackled the pre- existing model of the concerto, and suggest reasons for compositional decisions. The thesis will end with a discussion of clarinet technique, and how much writing for Kriikku in particular may have influenced the works. This essay will be formed of several sections, with the first examining the traits which could be considered important to each of the pieces: form, and how this results in the linear progression of the work; continuity and discontinuity created through melodic treatment, and how the soloist interacts with the ensemble.
