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.

As a kid in Baltimore I grew up with their recordings, and then, of course, I also heard them on the Young People’s Concerts on television. I’ve always had a special feeling for the Philharmonic because the musicians have always played like they really meant it, with such energy and commitment; and when I got older and wrote music that they played, they did it the same way. I’m thrilled to be able to work with them more closely.” — Christopher Rouse _______________________________________ Christopher Rouse has been named The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence at the Philharmonic, and will begin his two-year tenure in the 2012–13 season.

  • THE ART of CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis Submitted In
    GESTURE AS COMMUNICATION: THE ART OF CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney May 2012 Statement of Originality I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Signed: Carolyn Watson Date: ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the art of orchestral conducting and in particular, the gestural language used by conductors. Aspects such as body posture and movement, eye contact, facial expressions and manual conducting gestures will be considered. These nonverbal forms of expression are the means a conductor uses to communicate with players. Manual conducting gestures are used to show fundamental technical information relating to tempo, dynamics and cues, as well as demonstrating to a degree, musical expression and conveying an interpretation of the musical work. Body posture can communicate authority, leadership, confidence and inspiration. Furthermore, physical gestures such as facial expressions can express a conductor’s mood and demeanour, as well as the emotional content of the music. Orchestral conducting is thus a complex and multifarious art, at the core of which is gesture. These physical facets of conducting will be examined by way of a case study. The conductor chosen as the centrepiece of this study is Austrian conductor, Carlos Kleiber (1930-2004). Hailed by many as the greatest conductor of all time1, Kleiber was a perfectionist with unscrupulously high standards who enjoyed a career with some of the world’s finest orchestras and opera companies including the Vienna Philharmonic, La Scala, Covent Garden, the Met and the Chicago Symphony.

  • Christopher Rouse's Symphony No. 1
    CHRISTOPHER ROUSE’S SYMPHONY NO. 1 (1986): HEROISM IN A LYRIC CONTEXT Michael J. Morey Abstract Christopher Rouse’s Symphony No. 1 (1986) not only helped secure his position as one of America’s more prominent composers, but it also helped to elevate the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s reputation as a welcoming venue to performances of challenging new works. Cast in the form of a single-movement adagio, the Symphony was meant to pay homage to those Rouse admired as composers of adagios—Shostakovich, Sibelius, Hartmann, Pettersson, and Schuman. However, the music of only one composer is recognizably quoted: the famous opening theme from the second movement of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7, which is performed in Rouse’s Symphony by a quartet of Wagner tubas. While Rouse’s Symphony is set in the lyric mode of the adagio, the cumulative quotation procedure provides a catalyst for the work’s narrative listening potential. The lyric context offers analytical advantages to adagios as stand-alone movements. By applying portions of Karol Berger’s lyric theory to Rouse’s Symphony No. 1, I highlight the intersection of specific categories often associated with adagio rhetoric—such as color and timbre, a sense of atemporality, and melodic expansion and contraction—with more traditional narrative-like properties—such as the carefully prepared climaxes, periodicity, and the return of various materials at critical formal junctures. I conclude by noting that while the adagio rhetoric is present throughout most of Rouse’s Symphony, the potency and referential content of the Bruckner quotation acts as the critical point of departure that counterbalances the lyric with narrative modes of perception.
