It rvasnot until nineteen ]'eils later that he continued with the work and he fin- ishedjt on 17 August 1979. The poem "Greetings"forms the basisof the first movement. It was written by Henrik Visnapuu (born 1890-died in NervYork 1951)during theEstonianwuofindependenceinl9l9.

The text of the fourth movement,"Lilac" (Henrik Visnapuu),again dates from 1919. The poet contrastsboughs of lilacwith riflesand war. The fifth movement beginswith a lengthy trumpet slo and the choir repeatsthe text and music of the first morement though in an aliered form. Here again one can find parallels to the classicalre- quiem. At the end one hears the trumpet play some notes from the Estonian folksong "Beneath the wise man'slodging". Tubin saidhimself in this connectionthat the dying pldier's lastthoughts go to thos at home. The Requiem was first performed on 17 IIay 1981 in Stockholm'sHedvig EleonoraChurch with rhe composerconducting. Those partjcipatingwere Stockholm'sEstonian Male Choir, IleanaPeter- sn (contralto),I{ark Falsjci(organ), Torben Rehnberg(trumpet), Seppo Asikainen(side-drum) and Richad Sundstedt(timpani). This wasEduard Tubin's lastappearance as a conductor. Eduard Tubin was born on 18th June 1905 at Kallaste on Lake Peipus in Estonia. He receivedhis mu' sical education at the Tartus Musical High School, where he passedihrough Heino Eller's composition class. In the autumn of 1944 he and his family fled to Sweden, and he lived in Stockholm until his deathon 17th November1982. Tubin,s Tenth Symphony was commisioned by the Gothenburg Orchestral Society. Tubin stdted work on it on 1Oth Jinuary 1g?3 and three months later, on 4th April, it was ready. "As I was in a huny, the symphony has only one movement," the composer commented half in jest. But this one movement contiins in truth the elementsof four movements fused together into a singleunity. The Tenth symphony starts with a melancholy Adagio from the strings (l). Their forwad motion is interupted Uy u n"rri call (II), which returns later. Piltly this call forms a contrast to the strings' sentimentality and languor, and partly it links the separate"moyements". I'rom the call chords often 'lhe develop which accompany the themes themselves,and also certain rhythmic motifs. oboe pre" sents the third theme (III) accompanied by the second violins and violas. In the last two bars we find m oboe decoration (a) which will asume great significancelater. From the Adagio, a timpani accelerandoleads to the main part of the work - Allegro molto ma energico. This starts with violent chords from the trombones and tuba, showing some resemblanceto the horn calls earlier.These chords ale then taken over by the clarinets, bassoons,violas and cellos. The first theme of the classicalsonata-form allegro is given to the violins (V), and later to the full orchestra. A horn solo leads to a lyrical episode where the following musical material (VI) is develo- ped. The oboe returns with its decoration. which is then passedto the full orchestra. In the development we hear first the main theme (V), which then appears in an energetic and powerful form (VII). It is accompanied by the syncopated rhythm from the lyrical episode. The dotted rhythm of the horn call (II) is recalled in the strings' mysteriously coloured ostinato (VIII). To this accompaniment we hear again the powerful theme (VII), now solidly with extended note- values (IX). The horn call (II) leads on from the development, this time played by the whole bras section except the tuba. Now comes the reprise, at the end of which we hetr the oboe decoration (a), now played first by the flute, then the oboe and finally by the full orchestra. After a major subsidenceTubin basesthe entire scherzo (X) upon the apparently insignificant oboe decoration (a). After a lyrical interlude, featuring a lengthy violin solo, the stormy scherzo continues until it is suddenly cut off by the horn call(II). Now the Adagio festivo begins, which grows with enolmous power until the symphony,s biggest climax and then dies away to the peaceful ending of the work. Tubin's Tenth Symphony was first played by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra on 27th September 1973, conducted by the American, William Byrd. The composer himself was present to receiveovatiods from the public and the orchestra alike. Tubin alustas Reekviemi komponeerimist 1950.a., kuid Il osa keskel jiti ta tod pooleli.

  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • Here Has Been a Steady Production of Operas Since the Season 1918/19
    ESTONIAN NATIONAL OPERA Article provided by the Estonian National Opera At a glance The roots of the Estonian National Opera go back to 1865, when the song and drama society “Estonia” was founded. In 1906, the society became the basis for a professional theatre. The ballet troupe began regular work in 1926, but the first full-length ballet, Delibes’s “Coppélia” was performed in 1922 already. Since 1998, the theatre is officially named the Estonian National Opera. Estonian National Ballet that operates under Estonian National Opera was founded in 2010. The Artistic Director and Chief Conductor is Vello Pähn, the Artistic Director of the Estonian National Ballet is Thomas Edur and the General Manager is Aivar Mäe. The theatre’s repertoire includes classical and contemporary operas, ballets, operettas and musicals. In addition, different concerts and children’s performances are delivered and compositions of Estonian origin staged. Estonian National Opera is a repertory theatre, giving 350 performances and concerts a year, being famous for its tradition of annual concert performances of rarely staged operas, such as Alfredo Catalani’s “La Wally”, Verdi’s “Simon Boccanegra”, Rossini’s “Guillaume Tell”, Bizet’s “Les pêcheurs de perles”, Bellini’s “I Capuleti e i Montecchi”, “I puritani” and “Norma”, Rimsky-Korsakov’s “The Tsar’s Bride” and “Snegurochka”, Strauss’ “Der Rosenkavalier”, etc. History of the Estonian National Opera In 1865, the song and drama society “Estonia” was founded in Tallinn. Acting was taken up in 1871. From 1895 onwards the society began to stage plays regularly, which usually included singing and dancing. In 1906, the society became the basis for a professional theatre called “Estonia Theatre” founded by the directors and actors Paul Pinna and Theodor Altermann.

  • With a Rich History Steeped in Tradition, the Courage to Stand Apart and An
    With a rich history steeped in tradition, the courage to stand apart and an enduring joy of discovery, the Wiener Symphoniker are the beating heart of the metropolis of classical music, Vienna. For 120 years, the orchestra has shaped the special sound of its native city, forging a link between past, present and future like no other. In Andrés Orozco-Estrada - for several years now an adopted Viennese - the orchestra has found a Chief Conductor to lead this skilful ensemble forward from the 20-21 season onward, and at the same time revisit its musical roots. That the Wiener Symphoniker were formed in 1900 of all years is no coincidence. The fresh wind of Viennese Modernism swirled around this new orchestra, which confronted the challenges of the 20th century with confidence and vision. This initially included the assured command of the city's musical past: they were the first orchestra to present all of Beethoven's symphonies in the Austrian capital as one cycle. The humanist and forward-looking legacy of Beethoven and Viennese Romanticism seems tailor-made for the Symphoniker, who are justly leaders in this repertoire to this day. That pioneering spirit, however, is also evident in the fact that within a very short time the Wiener Symphoniker rose to become one of the most important European orchestras for the premiering of new works. They have given the world premieres of many milestones of music history, such as Anton Bruckner's Ninth Symphony, Arnold Schönberg's Gurre-Lieder, Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand and Franz Schmidt's The Book of the Seven Seals - concerts that opened a door onto completely new worlds of sound and made these accessible to the greater masses.
