Double and other multiple concertos were quite common in the High Baroque, including lots of examples by Vivaldi and, under his influence, Bach, but the solo concerto dominates the Classical period and beyond, with relatively few notable exceptions—Mozart’s two-piano concerto and sinfonias concertante, Beethoven’s Triple, Brahms’s Double—remaining solidly in today’s orchestral repertoire. This concert’s variety of approaches has as its chronological and stylistic extremes Michael Tippett’s 1939 GER Concerto for Double String Orchestra—one of the composer’s first works of significance— N and the brand-new, up-to-the-moment world premiere of the Double Concerto for Baritone GRAI Saxophone, Percussion, and Orchestra written for BMOP by Pittsburgh-based Mathew CLIVE Rosenblum.

    0912 BOX Program Notes

    THE BOX–music by living composers NotaRiotous Microtonal Voices Saturday, September 12, 2009 About the composers and the music Ben Johnston Johnston began as a traditional composer of art music before working with Harry Partch, helping the senior musician to build instruments and use them in the performance and recording of new compositions. After working with Partch, Johnston studied with Darius Milhaud at Mills College. It was, in fact, Partch himself who arranged for Johnston to study with Milhaud. Johnston, beginning in 1959, was also a student of John Cage, who encouraged him to follow his desires and use traditional instruments rather than electronics or newly built ones. Unskilled in carpentry and finding electronics then unreliable, Johnston struggled with how to integrate microtonality and conventional instruments for ten years, and struggled with how to integrate microtones into his compositional language through a slow process of many stages. However, since 1960 Johnston has used, almost exclusively, a system of microtonal notation based on the rational intervals of just intonation. Other works include the orchestral work Quintet for Groups (commissioned by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra), Sonnets of Desolation (commissioned by the Swingle Singers), the opera Carmilla, the Sonata for Microtonal Piano (1964) and the Suite for Microtonal Piano (1977). Johnston has also completed ten string quartets to date. He has received many honors, including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1959, a grant from the National Council on the Arts and Humanities in 1966, and two commissions from the Smithsonian Institution.
