Juli 2015 Dänische Entdeckungen (1) Niels Wilhelm Gade und Carl Nielsen Man kann beide wohl getrost als die wichtigsten Symphoniker der dänischen Musikgeschichte bezeichnen, Niels Wilhelm Gade und Carl Nielsen. Obwohl letzterer kurzzeitig Schüler des ersteren war, trennt hörbar ein halbes Jahrhundert Kulturhistorie die beiden Männer. Dass Lehrer Gade seinen Schüler Nielsen irgendwie nachhaltig beeinflusst haben könnte, lässt sich musikalisch kaum nachweisen. Niels Wilhelm Gade wurde kurz vor seinem Tod endgültig wahrgenommen als ein großer Konservativer der europäischen Musik, ein Mann der Rückschau ins 19. Jhd. Und es waren just jene Umbruchsjahre, in denen der junge Carl Nielsen die dänische Musik auf ein neues, völlig anders klingendes, Jahrhundert vorbereiten sollte. Beiden Komponisten ist die SWR2 Musikstunde dieser Woche gewidmet, denn beide, Gade wie Nielsen, wurden auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise volkstümlich im nördlichen Nachbarland.

  • Edvard Grieg: Between Two Worlds Edvard Grieg: Between Two Worlds
    EDVARD GRIEG: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS EDVARD GRIEG: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS By REBEKAH JORDAN A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Rebekah Jordan, April, 2003 MASTER OF ARTS (2003) 1vIc1vlaster University (1vIllSic <=riticisIll) HaIllilton, Ontario Title: Edvard Grieg: Between Two Worlds Author: Rebekah Jordan, B. 1vIus (EastIllan School of 1vIllSic) Sllpervisor: Dr. Hllgh Hartwell NUIllber of pages: v, 129 11 ABSTRACT Although Edvard Grieg is recognized primarily as a nationalist composer among a plethora of other nationalist composers, he is much more than that. While the inspiration for much of his music rests in the hills and fjords, the folk tales and legends, and the pastoral settings of his native Norway and his melodic lines and unique harmonies bring to the mind of the listener pictures of that land, to restrict Grieg's music to the realm of nationalism requires one to ignore its international character. In tracing the various transitions in the development of Grieg's compositional style, one can discern the influences of his early training in Bergen, his four years at the Leipzig Conservatory, and his friendship with Norwegian nationalists - all intricately blended with his own harmonic inventiveness -- to produce music which is uniquely Griegian. Though his music and his performances were received with acclaim in the major concert venues of Europe, Grieg continued to pursue international recognition to repudiate the criticism that he was only a composer of Norwegian music. In conclusion, this thesis demonstrates that the international influence of this so-called Norwegian maestro had a profound influence on many other composers and was instrumental in the development of Impressionist harmonies.

  • Felix Mendelssohn Overture in C Major, Op. 101, “Trumpet” Felix Mendelssohn Was Born in Hamburg in 1809 and Died in Leipzig in 1847
    Felix Mendelssohn Overture in C major, Op. 101, “Trumpet” Felix Mendelssohn was born in Hamburg in 1809 and died in Leipzig in 1847. He composed this work in 1826. The circumstances of its first performance are unknown, though it may have been first heard with a performance of Handel’s Israel in Egypt led by the composer in Düsseldorf the same year. Mendelssohn revised the work in 1833. The Overture is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, and strings. Mendelssohn composed this work at the age of sixteen, just before he wrote his miraculous Overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Some think it was a preliminary study for that masterpiece. If it was, it was not slavishly followed. The subtitle “Trumpet” comes from Mendelssohn’s family always referring to the piece as the “Trumpet Overture,” though hearing the relatively minor role of the trumpets in the work makes one wonder how it came about. Some point to the trumpets’ appearance to punctuate all the major divisions of the work; for others, the prominent interval of the third in the trumpet parts leads to harmonic relationships of a third in the development, but that is getting rather deep into the weeds. In any case, the sixteen year-old Mendelssohn was already a better composer than many ever become, and the Overture is typically brilliant. Mendelssohn himself didn’t think much of it, but it was his father’s favorite work! Concerto for Violin & Orchestra in E minor, Op. 64 Mendelssohn completed his Violin Concerto in 1844, and it was first performed the following year by Ferdinand David, violin, with the Gewandhous Orchestra, Leipzig conducted by Niels Gade.

  • Fiery Nielsen Sparks Nordic Opener from Chicago Philharmonic by Lawrence A
    Fiery Nielsen sparks Nordic opener from Chicago Philharmonic By Lawrence A. Johnson Mon Sep 22, 2014 at 11:52 am One could put together a notably adventurous season just by combining the repertory of Chicago’s top suburban orchestras. The fact that most offer consistently excellent playing as well as thought- provoking programs makes musical excursions outside the city even more essential. The Chicago Philharmonic opened its 25th anniversary season Sunday night with a “Nordic” program of intriguing yet accessible rarities that could serve as a model of its kind. In its second season under Scott Speck, the orchestra was in characteristic top form with boldly projected and largely polished performances at Pick-Staiger Hall, even if the evening overall proved something of a mixed bag. With partial sponsorship from the Danish embassy, the main works of the evening offered music from the country’s two leading composers, Carl Nielsen and Niels Gade. As Speck noted in his informed and informal verbal notes, Nielsen’s distinctive voice was largely formed even in his earliest works. The Symphony No. 1, written at age 27, showcases Nielsen’s style—the edgy, bustling energy, noodling, rhapsodic wind lines, and vaulting key changes, the First Symphony moving from G minor to C major over its four movements. Nielsen’s first of six works in the genre is a score brimming with confidence, and Speck and the Scott Speck opened the Chicago Philharmonic musicians served up a lively and idiomatic performance, the outer movements Philharmonic’s 25th season with a imbued with ample vitality and swagger.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Felix Mendelssohn
    PROGRAM NOTES Felix Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64 Felix Mendelssohn Born February 3, 1809, Hamburg, Germany. Died November 4, 1847, Leipzig, Germany. Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64 On July 30, 1838, Felix Mendelssohn wrote to his friend, the distinguished German violinist Ferdinand David, “I’d like to write a violin concerto for you next winter; one in E minor sticks in my head, the beginning of which will not leave me in peace.” With those lines, Mendelssohn began his last great work—a masterpiece to refute claims of a career in decline and a concerto that would prove as popular as any ever written. Sketches confirm that Mendelssohn knew very early on how this music would go, and an extensive correspondence with David, spanning six years, shows how much care went into the details. Mendelssohn was the architect, David his technical advisor. David and Mendelssohn were kindred spirits; both were celebrated prodigies, born only a year apart. They became friends in 1825, the year Ferdinand David, fifteen, gave his first concerts in Berlin, and Felix Mendelssohn, sixteen, composed the magnificent Octet for strings that’s one of the greatest miracles in all music. That summer, after Abraham Mendelssohn moved his family to 3 Leipziger Strasse in Berlin, the two young men became regular chamber music partners as well. (The son of the famous philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, Abraham would later say, “First I was the son of my father. Now I am the father of my son.”) Ten years later, when Mendelssohn was named conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, he asked Ferdinand David to be his concertmaster.

  • The Reception of Carl Nielsen As a Danish National Composer
    The Reception of Carl Nielsen as a Danish National Composer Sarah Gutsche-Miller Faculty of Music McGill University, Montreal August 2003 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts (Musicology) Sarah Gutsche-Miller, 2003 11 Abstract Carl Nielsen, labelled as Denmark's national composer, has long been relegated to a secondary status in English-language musicology as a composer of great national significance but negligible importance outside of Scandinavia. This thesis explores the links between Danish nationalism and Nielsen's music, as well as the effects of Nielsen's status as a national composer on the reception of his symphonic music outside of Denmark. The first section of this paper is a study of Nielsen's music in the context of Danish cultural nationalism at the turn of the twentieth century, focusing on the folk influences or "Danish" aspects of his symphonic music. It also examines the extent to which the national or Nordic qualities of his music are constructions and later attributions. The following section looks at the development of Nielsen's status as a national composer in Denmark, as well as how this label has engendered the stereotyping of his music as regional in English-language musicology. Nielsen has been neglected by the Anglo-Germanic canon which privileges central European compositional styles and methods while viewing nationally inflected music negatively. Although Nielsen's Danish background cannot be ignored, his symphonic music needs to be studied in a wider European context for his universal message to be appreciated.
