Matthias Giesen (Austria)

Matthias Giesen (Austria) The biography of each musician is published as it has been sent by its author Matthias Giesen (*1973) was born in Boppard/Rhein in Germany. After the final school examination he studied church music, organ and music theory at the Music University in Cologne, Stuttgart and Vienna. His organ teachers were the Cologne Cathedral organist Clemens Ganz, Johannes Geffert and Bernhard Haas, music theory he studied with Johannes Schild and Friedrich Jaecker. He joined several organ courses with Marie-Claire Alain, Guy Bovet, Lorenzo Ghielmi, Jean-Claude Zehnder, Michael Radulescu etc. In 1998 he won the First Prize of the Bayreuth Organ Competition. After his organ examinations he studied music theory with Martin Eybl at the Vienna University of Music. In 1999 he was organist in several parishes in Cologne (Germany); in August 1999 he was chosen as the organist of the Bruckner-Organ of the Augustinian Monastery St Florian/Austria. He is also in charge of the Monastery´s music archive. He participated in several recordings for broadcast and television (Italian, Japanese, US-American- Television, Austrian television ORF). This involvement in many international concerts has contributed to his artistic activity (Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Poland, Greece, Algeria, Mexico, Slovakia, Russia, Australia etc.). In May 2002 a CD featuring Giesen playing the Bruckner Organ with organ compositions of the 19th century (Liszt, Schumann, Reger and Bruckner transcription) was published. It also includes a transcription of one of Anton Bruckner´s works. Several other CD projects are planned. In the following time different articles about the organ composers Jean Guillou (in 2001 Giesen made a collaboration project with him), André Jolivet, Leos Janacek and Max Reger were published. Moreover he also taught music theory for two years at the Cologne Music University. Giesen is currently teaching music theory at Vienna Music University and at the Institute of Musicology. Since 2003 he is master of choir and orchestra of church music at the basilica of St Florian (music director) and organizer of the International Anton Bruckner Organ Competition Linz and St Florian. Since 2005 he is artistic director of the festival St Florianer Brucknertage. .

She received a BM in music composition from the University of Florida, an MM in music theory from Bowling Green State University, and an MA in psychology from the University at Buffalo. Her music theory thesis focused on atonal segmentation. At Buffalo, she worked in the Auditory Perception and Action Lab under Peter Pfordresher, and completed a thesis investigating metrical and motivic interaction in the perception of tonal patterns. Her research interests include musical segmentation and categorization, form, schema theory, and pedagogical applications of cognitive models. A Romantic Turn of Phrase: Listening Beyond 18th-Century Schemata (with Andrew Aziz) The analytical application of schemata to 18th-century music has been widely codified (Meyer, Gjerdingen, Byros), and it has recently been argued by Byros (2009) that a schema-based listening approach is actually a top-down one, as the listener is armed with a script-based toolbox of listening strategies prior to experiencing a composition (gained through previous style exposure). This is in contrast to a plan-based strategy, a bottom-up approach which assumes no a priori schemata toolbox.

Brahms's Arrangements of Bach's Cantatas
Volume XXXI, Number 2 Fall 2013 “In Concert-Life, the Most Striking, Most Pleasing of Adventures” – Brahms’s Arrangements of Bach’s Cantatas When in October 1874 Brahms wrote to his friend, the musicologist and Bach specialist Philipp Spitta in the above terms, he was describing his own concert performances of cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, specifically his recent performances of Christ lag in Todesbanden BWV 4 and Nun ist das Heil BWV 50.1 He had begun performing Bach cantatas with the first mixed-voice choir he directed on a regular basis, the Singverein at the Detmold Court (1857–60), and he continued when he got to Vienna with the Singakademie in 1863–64 and the Singverein of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in 1872–75. Table 1 lists all his known performances of Bach’s vocal music, from which we can see that he gave complete or nearly complete performances of five cantatas, of the St. Matthew Passion, and of four of the six parts of the Christmas Oratorio. For these performances, especially for those of the cantatas, Brahms prepared arrangements that met the practical requirements of his time, though he would often do this in imaginatively creative ways. Broadly speaking, he (1) added instruments to support Brahms in 1853. Photo courtesy of the Brahms-Institut and color Bach’s vocal parts where he thought necessary; an der Musikhochschule Lübeck.
