  • 125 Commissions Project and Premieres
    18|19 COMMISSIONS PROJECT Carnegie Hall’s commitment to the music of tomorrow continues with the fourth year of its five-year project during which at least 125 new works will be commissioned from today’s leading composers. Through the 125 Commissions Project, Carnegie Hall expands upon its history as the preeminent venue where music history is made. Launched during the Hall’s 125th anniversary season in 2015, the project features new solo, chamber, and orchestral music from both established and emerging composers, including John Adams, Thomas Adès, Timo Andres, Donnacha Dennehy, Bryce Dessner, Philip Glass, Sofia Gubaidulina, Brad Mehldau, Nico Muhly, Steve Reich, Frederic Rzewski, Caroline Shaw, Tyshawn Sorey, Chris Thile, and Jörg Widmann. As part of the project, Carnegie Hall has sought to partner with co-commissioners as much as possible in order to maximize the number of performances for new each work. As part of the 125 Commissions Project, Kronos Quartet and Kronos Performing Arts Organization continue Fifty for the Future: The Kronos Learning Repertoire. Collaborating with many diverse partners over five seasons, Kronos is co-commissioning 50 new works by 25 men and 25 women devoted to contemporary approaches to the string quartet, designed expressly for the training of students and emerging professionals. Composers commissioned to write works for previous seasons included Fodé Lassana Diabaté, Rhiannon Giddens, Garth Knox, Aleksandra Vrebalov, Wu Man, and Karin Rehnqvist. Commissions for the 2018–2019 season include works written by Bryce Dessner, Susie Ibarra, Jlin, Vladimir Martynov, Missy Mazzoli, Misato Mochizuki, Terry Riley, Henry Threadgill, Mario Galeano Toro, and Lu Yun.

  • Oranit Kongwattananon 1
    Oranit Kongwattananon 1 Introduction Arvo Pärt, an Estonian composer, was born in 1935. He studied at Tallinn Conservatory under his composition teacher, Heino Eller, in 1958-1963. While studying, he worked as a sound engineer at the Estonian Radio, and continued working there until 1968, when he became a freelance composer. At the beginning of 1980, Arvo Pärt and his family emigrated to Austria where he received Austrian citizenship. Afterwards, he received a scholarship from Der Deutsche Akademische Austauschdienst (German Academic Exchange Service) in 1981-1982, so he and his family moved to West Berlin.1 Most of the works at the beginning of his career as a composer were for piano in neo- classical style. He won the first prize of the All-Union Young Composers’ Competition in Moscow in 1962, and turned his interest to serial music at this time. He studied from books and scores, which were difficult to obtain in the Soviet Union. The first work to which he applied serial techniques, Nekrolog, was composed in 1960. Although he was panned by the critics for this work, he nevertheless continued creating his works with serial techniques throughout the 1960s. One well-known piece called Credo, composed in 1968, was the last work combining tonal and atonal styles.2 For several years afterwards, Pärt turned his attention to studying tonal monody and two-part counterpoint exercises.3 Between 1968-1976 Pärt initiated a “self-imposed silence”; during which he published only one work, Symphony no. 3, whilst studing early music: At the beginning of this period, Pärt heard Gregorian chant for the first time in his life and was completely overwhelmed by what he heard: he immediately sought out other examples, and went on to make an intensive study of early music, including not only Gregorian chant, but also the music of the Notre Dame school, Gillaume de Machaut, 1 Wright, Stephen, “Arvo Pärt (1935- ),” in Music of the twentieth-century avant-garde: a biocritical sourcebook, ed.

  • Like Reich on Vodka TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2002 at 4 A.M
    Like Reich On Vodka TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2002 AT 4 A.M. 1 Anton Batagov: relentless rhythmic repetition for meditative purposes By coincidence I arrived in Moscow the day the theater siege began. I found a population distracted and depressed, but not too traumatized to share musical enthusiasms. I hadn't heard a peep of Russian music in decades—only the occasional Estonian like Arvo Pärt and Lepo Sumera, or displaced Ukrainian like Virko Baley. So I was surprised, given Europe's still-modernist tendencies, to find Russia awash in simple tonality, in brash repetition, in its own cheeky form of post- minimalism. Such a large country, so crowded with musicians, is not so simply summed up in stylistic terms, of course. But in Vladimir Martynov, Pavel Karmanov, Anton Batagov, Georgs Peletsis, Alexander Rabinovitch, Sergei Zagny, and Alexander Bakshi, I found an entire generation of in- your-face tonalists. I heard a few live performances, mostly by a scintillating and versatile string orchestra called Opus Posth at the Dom Foundation's Alternativa festival (in which I performed). Wider vistas were opened up by dozens of CDs given to me as I was trying to buy them, many of them by Dom's director, Nicolas Dmitriev, others by critic Dmitri Oukhov, sort of the Kyle Gann of Russia, as he described himself: the only person there whose job consists of writing about new experimental music. With typical European obliviousness to conflict-of-interest issues we're hypersensitive to, Oukhov is not only a leading critic but curator of Alternativa and other festivals.

In our almost mindless symphony in 2004, I could not have foreseen a trajectory drive to progress, to globalise, to embrace technology, we leading to this recording by the London Philharmonic have lost part of our humanity. For whom are we Orchestra at the Abbey Road Studios. It was a leap of faith. ‘progressing’ and ‘globalising’? Martynov was inspired by the idea of a small country The Utopia Symphony is a universal call to arms – to rethink struggling with survival and emerging with something and reshape the principles that underlie our actions and unique and enduring. He set the libretto to the Tao Te existence. It is an attempt to recapture our sense of Ching, an ancient text that speaks of the Tao (‘the Way’) as beauty and order in nature and society; to become better the underlying reality that permeates and drives the beings than ourselves, to re-imagine Utopia. Like the idea universe. Martynov likens the search for Utopia to the Tao: of Utopia, the Symphony will be a work in progress. An ‘The tao that can be described is no longer the Tao’. Utopia allegory for our search for meaning – an empty vessel filled is elusive, not a destination or a state of being, but a by new meanings as time passes, ‘mother of all things’, process of becoming and striving to do better. ‘doing by not doing’, like the Tao.

    Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 1 (2014), Section I: Peer-reviewed Articles, pp. 20-32 https://journal.fi/jisocm Gregory Myers From Out of the Drawer: Faith, Ritual and Russian Orthodoxy - Nikolai Korndorf’s Setting of the Divine Liturgy1 The centerpiece of this study is a remarkable exemplar of sacred music composition literally extracted from the drawer: a complete setting of the Russian Orthodox Divine Liturgy by the late-twentieth-century Russian-Canadian composer, Nikolai Sergeevich Korndorf dated 1978.2 It has a two-fold purpose: (1) to explore some of the circumstances of its creation (how, why and when?) and, (2) to use it to frame a commentary on the impact of the Russian Orthodox Church on Russian music composition in general, looking to nineteenth-century precedents for lingering/prevailing attitudes towards it, posing the questions: Why has the Russian Orthodox Church been largely overlooked in Russian music production and why has it assumed a role in recent years? Example No. 1 – Title Page of Nikolai Korndorf’s Liturgy. Example 1 Title Page of Nikolai Korndorf’s Liturgy From the tenth to nineteenth centuries Orthodoxy defined Russia. The Christianity of the Greek Church, whose mandate was to maintain the pluralism of those lands into which it witnessed, gave both form and content to Russian culture; for centuries its elaborate ritual comings and goings for every conceivable occasion shaped the lives of the Russian people. But Christianity was syncretically adapted to and erected on a preexisting pagan foundation that has continued to underpin it, and both have coexisted to the present among the faithful held in a centuries-old symbiotic balance.
