  • Fabulously Tidal — Issue 117, 1 January 2018
    Fabulously Tidal — Issue 117, 1 January 2018 SPONSORED FEATURE — PHILIP SAWYERS' THIRD SYMPHONY Alice McVeigh: 'This is a fabulously tidal symphony, with wild expanses of differing moods, but it begins with a ripple of unease. We in the cello section were told to play the opening with as much stillness as possible, allowing the first theme to grow as it weaves into violins and violas, into threads of flute and oboe, and — from there — into a tempestuous section of interweaving themes. The argument descends into a woodwind quarrel, resolved by flute and oboe, decorated by horns — while the strings continue to niggle and churn away at any sense of calm. 'Then solo bassoon ignites a new, still tenser, section. The violins take over, lightly but resolutely, answered by middle strings conveying a sense of tenderness — but with a bitter aftertaste. (This is incidentally one of Sawyers' most characteristic strengths: a tenderness, never saccharine, often undermined by subtle discontent.) From the brass comes the first glimpse of escape: the powerful broken octave theme over which the other themes furiously contend. 'The cellos at the recapitulation, now deepened and enriched, are twisted by Sawyers into something passionate and grounded in lower brass, reinforced by timpani. The movement ends with the heavy brass seemingly triumphant over the strings' stubborn reiteration of the theme. Still, the lower strings' pessimism prevails. 'Tutti violins kick-start the second movement with a dramatic leap from their richest register, only yielding to keening solo oboe. 'The sobered strings leave the solo winds to mourn, yet, with characteristic Sawyers intensity, something is brewing at subterranean depths: eventually, the violas' chuntering is answered by full insistent brass, in a stormily ecstatic tantrum.

Others used the medium as an outlet for fun and lighthearted entertainment. The music was traditionally performed in homes. The Flagler name has long been associated with great music, as Henry and Mary Lily Flagler frequently hosted musical performances in Whitehall’s elaborate Music Room. The Flagler Museum Music Series captures the spirit of traditional chamber music, and welcomes world renowned performers to the finest chamber music venue in South Florida. Here, performers and visitors can experience chamber music as it was intended in a gracious and intimate setting. Due to its intimate nature, chamber music has been described as “the music of friends.” Consequently it is frowned upon to use stages and amplifying devices. The audio devices you will see tonight record the performance for national public radio broadcast and archival purposes.

  • Rautavaara Rubáiyát, Balada, Canto V Four Songs from Rasputin
    RAUTAVAARA RUBÁIYÁT, BALADA, CANTO V FOUR SONGS FROM RASPUTIN GERALD FINLEY MIKA POHJONEN HELSINKI MUSIC CENTRE CHOIR HELSINKI PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA JOHN STORGÅRDS 1 he process of musical composition is always a mysterious and essentially inexplicable thing. Einojuhani Rautavaara is one of the many composers to emphasise its unconscious dimensions, its T likeness to a mystery. He has often said that in the process of the birth of his compositions he is the midwife, not the mother; the mediator, not the creator. Sometimes the interval between impulse and implementation can be unexpectedly long. Rautavaara noted that he first came across the poetry of Persian mathematician, astronomer and philosopher Omar Khayyam (1048–1131) as a music student in his 20s in 1949 and immediately decided that he would one day set that poetry to music. But it took 63 years for him to act on that impulse: when Wigmore Hall in London commissioned him to write a song cycle for Gerald Finley, he responded with Rubáiyát (2014/15). The intervening decades span almost an entire human life and a brilliant career with a huge output in a succession of styles that has made Rautavaara one of the most frequently performed composers of our time. His development progressed from early Neo-Classicism to dodecaphony and serialist experiments in the late 1950s, then to a freer and more varied style often described as ‘Neo-Romantic’ or ‘post-modern’ in the late 1960s, and finally to his late style, a synthesis of all that had gone before. Through all this, the idea of setting Khayyam to music remained on the back burner.
