Ralph Shapey: Evocation for violin with Piano and Percussion ...................... (17:45) Matthew Raimondi, violin; Yehudi Wyner, piano; Paul Price, percussion Yehudi Wyner: Serenade for Seven Instruments “The Serenade was written in 1958 in response to a commission by the Friends of Music at Yale University and was first performed on Alumni Day, February, 1959. The title page bears a dedication to James Hoffman, the young American painter who was mortally ill at the time and soon to die. The dedication was intended as a gesture of devotion to a friend, a noble individual and eloquent artist. The titles Serenade and Nocturne I and II refer to qualities of the night and reflect the darkness of his passing. “Serenade is a lyric, poetic work, remarkable in no way for its structural devices. No preconceived schemes were used, no preliminary formal plans imposed; the piece grew in an almost improvisatory way, formal decisions being reached in the writing, imposing themselves retroactively as it were, then affecting further progress. (This is a common procedure in my music in which the direction and significance of timings reveal themselves slowly and in the process, not before, and order is a consequence, not an antecedent, of the work.) The choice of instruments was likewise not hit upon at once but responded to the demands of the material.

  • Composing Freedom: Elliott Carter's 'Self-Reinvention' and the Early
    Composing Freedom: Elliott Carter’s ‘Self-Reinvention’ and the Early Cold War Daniel Guberman A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved By, Brigid Cohen, chair Allen Anderson Annegret Fauser Mark Katz Severine Neff © 2012 Daniel Guberman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DANIEL GUBERMAN: Composing Freedom: Elliott Carter’s ‘Self-Reinvention’ and the Early Cold War (Under the direction of Brigid Cohen) In this dissertation I examine Elliott Carter’s development from the end of the Second World War through the 1960s arguing that he carefully constructed his postwar compositional identity for Cold War audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. The majority of studies of Carter’s music have focused on technical aspects of his methods, or roots of his thoughts in earlier philosophies. Making use of published writings, correspondence, recordings of lectures, compositional sketches, and a drafts of writings, this is one of the first studies to examine Carter’s music from the perspective of the contemporary cultural and political environment. In this Cold War environment Carter emerged as one of the most prominent composers in the United States and Europe. I argue that Carter’s success lay in part due to his extraordinary acumen for developing a public persona. And his presentation of his works resonated with the times, appealing simultaneously to concert audiences, government and private foundation agents, and music professionals including impresarios, performers and other composers.

    1 CONCERTO FOR CLARINET AND ORCHESTRA (1947) I. A wizardly weave of contrapuntal themes and rhythmic motives instantly engulfs us. The solo clarinet enters on the intervals that gave historic birth to the instrument: octave, fifth, and twelfth, its harmonic backbone. The theme creates a sweeping arch over seven measures long eloquently encompassing all the clarinet’s registers. The first movement coda ends with a twinkle as the clarinet giggles a bluesy trill; followed by a glockenspiel exclama- tion point and a timpani plop! I am reminded of my interview with Lukas Foss on his student memories of Hindemith at Tanglewood. “After class he took us down to the pond for a swim. I’ll never forget the sound of his plump little body landing in the water with a plop!” II. The ostinato takes a five note pizzicato pattern with a jazz syncopation before the fifth note. The groove slides over to another beat at each entrance making a simple steady 2/2 time excitingly elusive. Riding that groove is a rapid clarinet lick right out of the “King of Swing”’s bag. A rhythm section (timpani, snare drum, triangle, and tambourine) sets a “Krupa-like” complexity, and before you know it the ride ends with the band disappearing clean as a clarinet pianissimo. III. Perhaps the longest, most melancholic, beautiful melody ever written for the clarinet; twenty measures of breath- taking calm and majesty. Balancing this sweeping aria is a recitative (measures 51-71). Hindemith gives the return of the song to solo oboe surrounded by soft, tiny woodwind creatures and muted murmurings for two solo violins.
