    Katalog LEIHMATERIAL Juli 2016 PEERMUSIC CLASSICAL PRÄSENTIERT KOMPONISTEN DES 20./21. JAHRHUNDERTS Peermusic Classical reagiert seit über 60 Jahren erfolgreich auf aktuelle Tendenzen in einer international vernetzten Musikwelt – mit inzwischen mehr als 800 Autoren aus 58 Ländern.

  • Hit-Recycling: Casting-Shows Un Die Wettbewerbsstrategie "Coverversion"
    HIT-RECYCLING: CASTING-SHOWS UND DIE WETTBEWERBSSTRATEGIE »COVERVERSION« Marc Pendzich 1. Einleitung Seit mittlerweile zehn Jahren bestimmen Coverversionen1 ganz wesentlich das Bild der internationalen und insbesondere der deutschen Single-Charts. Seit 1996 sind jährlich durchschnittlich 38 der 200 bestverkauften Titel Coverversionen. Der Anteil von Neuaufnahmen hat sich damit seit Mitte der 1980er Jahre mehr als verdreifacht. Alles in allem ist heute durchschnittlich jeder fünfte aktuelle Hit, der im Radio oder im Musikfernsehen gespielt wird, eine Coverversion (vgl. Pendzich 2004: 323). Die Flut von Neuauf- nahmen geht überwiegend von den Machern der Recycling-Musikstile HipHop und Techno/Dance aus, wird jedoch letztlich von Musikern aller Pop-Musik- stile getragen. Auch qualitativ sind Veränderungen nachzuweisen: Neuauf- nahmen von zuvor wenig bekannten Songs spielen im Gegensatz zu früher keine Rolle. Coverversionen sind heute in der Regel Secondhand-Hits. Ein wesentlicher Teil von heutigen Coverversionen beruht auf Crossover- Marketing-Produkten. Mit diesem Begriff werden hier Single-Veröffent- lichungen von singenden Schauspielern, Models, TV-Moderatoren und Soap- Stars umschrieben. Solche Produkte als Seitenprojekte von Nicht-Musikern werden oft aufgrund von Marketing-Erwägungen veröffentlicht: Die Pro- duzenten eines kurzfristig über ein TV-Format bekannt gewordenen Men- schen versuchen durch Veröffentlichung von Musik-CDs auf einem weiteren Medienfeld, dem Musikmarkt, Erfolg zu haben. Im aktuell letzten Entwick- lungschritt dieses Marketing-Bereichs ist die Tonträgerindustrie gemeinsam mit dem Privatfernsehen dazu übergegangen, die Präsentatoren ihrer Mar- 1 Definition: »Coverversionen sind neue Fassungen von zuvor auf Tonträger veröf- fentlichten Musikwerken, die i.d.R. von anderen Interpreten neu eingespielt und/oder live dargeboten werden. Obwohl der Grad der Veränderung dabei recht unterschiedlich ausfallen kann, bleiben die Originalwerke in ihren we- sentlichen Zügen erhalten« (Pendzich 2004: 22).
