While not especially numerous, his works exhibit a sense of great responsibility for each note. He would certainly be more prolific, if this were not the case. He is equally at ease in writing choral, instrumental, and vocal-instrumental music. His work can be classified in four groups according to time of creation. (1) until 1962, search of inspiration dominated by folklore and neostyles ( Toccata ). (2) 1962-1971, a novel and original method of organizing musical time, which resulted in new textural, rhythmic and expressive means ( Visions I , Fragmenti ). (3) 1972-1981 period of stylistic transition towards aleatorics, free sonoric idiom and complex structural approach that is signified by the use of micrometric scale along with the traditional staff notation. Performers gain considerable freedom of choice as far as musical instruments are concerned (e.g., Vox for any wind instrument, Images II for any bowed string instrument). -

In contrast to its ‘brass’ colleague, however, the clarinet, an instrument which has a brighter sound and is no stranger to a folk band, is in a constantly dazzling dialogue with the piano, whose part is characterised by tart, dissonant harmonies. -

From Kotoński to Duchnowski. Polish Electroacoustic Music
MIECZYSŁAW KOMINEK (Warszawa) From Kotoński to Duchnowski. Polish electroacoustic music ABSTRACT: Founded in November 1957, the Experimental Studio of Polish Radio (SEPR) was the fifth electronic music studio in Europe and the seventh in the world. It was an extraordinary phenomenon in the reality of the People’s Poland of those times, equally exceptional as the Warsaw Autumn International Festival of Contemporary Music, established around the same time - in 1956. Both these ‘institutions’ would be of fundamental significance for contemporary Polish music, and they would collabo rate closely with one another. But the history of Polish electroacoustic music would to a large extent be the history of the Experimental Studio. The first autonomous work for tape in Poland was Włodzimierz Kotoñski’s Etiuda konkretna (na jedno uderzenie w talerz) [Concrete study (for a single strike of a cymbal)], completed in November 1958. It was performed at the Warsaw Autumn in i960, and from then on electroacoustic music was a fixture at the festival, even a marker of the festival’s ‘modernity’, up to 2002 - the year when the last special ‘con cert of electroacoustic music’ appeared on the programme. In 2004, the SEPR ceased its activities, but thanks to computers, every composer can now have a studio at home. There are also thriving electroacoustic studios at music academies, with the Wroclaw studio to the fore, founded in 1998 by Stanisław Krupowicz, the leading light of which became Cezary Duchnowski. Also established in Wroclaw, in 2005, was the biennial International Festival of Electroacoustic Music ‘Música Electrónica Nova’. KEYWORDS: electroacoustic music, electronic music, concrete music, music for tape, generators, experimental Studio of Polish Radio, “Warsaw Autumn” International Festival of Contemporary Music, live electronic, synthesisers, computer music The beginnings of electroacoustic music can be sought in works scored for, or including, electric instruments. -

In Memoriam Henryk Mikołaj Górecki
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE POLISH CULTURAL INSTITUTE in NEW YORK and (LE) POISSON ROUGE Photo: Gerry Hurkmans proudly present In Memoriam Henryk Mikołaj Górecki A FREE, ALL-GÓRECKI CONCERT TUESDAY NOVEMEBER 8, 2011 6:30pm doors open, 7:30pm performance at (LE) POISSON ROUGE with ENSEMBLE SIGNAL, led by BRAD LUBMAN and the JACK QUARTET “In using modernist ideas as just one building block in the forging of his own idiom, Górecki demonstrated that it was possible for a late 20th-century composer to write music of individuality and substance while simultaneously achieving unusual success.” – Keith Potter for THE GUARDIAN, Nov.12, 2010 On Tuesday, November 8, 2011, the POLISH CULTURAL INSTITUTE in NEW YORK and New York City’s groundbreaking multimedia art cabaret, (LE) POISSON ROUGE, present IN MEMORIAM HENRYK MIKOŁAJ GÓRECKI, a free and open to the public (with email RSVP) memorial concert honoring the Polish composer, HENRYK GÓRECKI, on the first anniversary of his death. The all-Górecki program will be performed by internationally acclaimed ensembles, ENSEMBLE SIGNAL, led by Music Director and Conductor BRAD LUBMAN, and the JACK QUARTET. Kleines Requiem für eine Polka (1993) performed by Ensemble Signal, led by Brad Lubman Quasi una Fantasia: String Quartet No. 2, Op. 64 (1990-91) performed by the JACK Quartet Although Górecki was known most especially for his immensely popular Symphony No. 3, “Symphony of Sorrowful Songs”, this concert showcases extraordinary chamber works from his later compositional period. Kleines Requiem offers an enigmatic memorial mass; “polka” can refer to a Polish girl or woman, as well as the Central European dance, and the cryptic Górecki never explicitly stated his intent. -
