Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre Karol Kisiel Vision of the Artistic Profile of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre Karol Kisiel Vision of the artistic profile of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir represented by its chief conductors: Tõnu Kaljuste, Paul Hillier and Daniel Reuss A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music) Supervisor: Prof. Toomas Siitan Tallinn 2013 Vision of the artistic profile of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir represented by its chief conductors: Tõnu Kaljuste, Paul Hillier and Daniel Reuss Abstract The research focuses on the impact of the chief conductors of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir (henceforth EPCC) on the choir’s artistic profile. The author concentrates mainly on the comparison of the conductors’ approach towards the EPCC’s sound and its specifics. The researchers point of view on what are the essential elements contributing to the determining the quality of the choir’s sound serves as the methodological model. Based on this, the author compares the conductors approach towards mentioned elements, and pictures its general influence on the EPCC’s sound. Since the differences between the musical background and artistic principles represented by all conductors are notable (due to their different nationalities, education, technical skills etc.), it is valuable to observe the choir’s response to their individual ideas. An important part of the dissertation are the interviews done by the author with all of the chief conductors of the EPCC, interviews with singers expressing their thoughts on each conductor and his vision for the choir, and the comparison of the recordings of Kreek’s Psalms which have been done by the EPCC under all of the artistic directors. 2 Table of contents 1.

The EPCC’s discography under Tõnu Kaljuste, Paul Hillier and Daniel Reuss..79 3 1. Introduction The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir was celebrating its 30 th anniversary in 2011. During those thirty years the choir was led by a relatively small number of chief artistic directors: Tõnu Kaljuste, Paul Hillier and Daniel Reuss – three highly professional conductors with strong personalities, clear musical ideas and widely differing visions of the choir sound. The choir is a specific reflection of conductor’s ideas and musical taste. Every artistic director, while working with any ensemble, may see the result of his touch in the sound produced by his singers. It is fascinating for me to observe the work of these inspiring conductors and learn how much and in what way one can model the choir’s sonority. For me as an aspiring conductor, the following research is of great importance, because thanks to it I have established a close relationship with one of the best chamber choirs in the world. During my first appearances at the EPCC’s rehearsals I was truly astonished by its volume, beauty of sound and perfect intonation. I could not find any feature to complain about, which on one hand was exciting, but also gave me a reason to think about my artistic imagination and musical skills. After some time I started to understand more of the structure of this particular choir, its needs and desires. I came to understand where the weaker points of the group were and which features should just be maintained in their perfection. The conductor’s “instrument” is a choir or an orchestra. This type of instrument is special, because consists of people who usually express their opinions about their leader rather freely. Therefore it is essential for any conductor to understand the needs of his instrument and to be able to adjust quickly to the particular character and demands of the choir and orchestra he happens to work with. 1.1. Aims of the research The main area of my research is the evolution of the artistic profile of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir under chief conductorships of Tõnu Kaljuste, Paul Hillier and Daniel Reuss. Since their musical backgrounds and artistic ideas are noticeably different, I intended to discover what features of their artistic approach dominated their tenure and if they were able to establish a reasonable balance between introducing their individual vision of the choir’s sonority and general outlook, and respect the native features characteristic for this particular choir. 4 I intend to describe concrete factors related to choral singing and conducting craft, in order to illustrate how much of the choir shape depends on conductor’s vision. I would also like to picture the choir’s reactions (positive and negative) to decisions made by the artistic directors. Since the process of choir development, forming its common sound, balance, blend, and technical abilities etc. can be considered only in longer time periods, in my dissertation I will concentrate only on the chief conductors of the EPCC assuming that many, but short projects with guest directors may not have particular influence on a general state of the choir. The possibility of rehearsing frequently, having close contact with the singers and observing their development and vocal evolution placed Tõnu Kaljuste, Paul Hillier and Daniel Reuss in comfortable situations while introducing their own visions to the choir. 1.2. Background to the research The essential theoretical ground for my dissertation was studying literature documenting research on the choir performance with particular emphasis on the specifics of the sound. I needed to investigate what elements create the overall sonority of the choir and developing which features allow the conductor to develop and to shape the sound according to his own vision. An additional task was discovering if, and to what extent these features are changeable. An important aspect where a majority of researchers seem to represent similar approach, is the

  • Erkki-Sven Tüür
    © Kaupo Kikkas Erkki-Sven Tüür Contemporary BIOGRAPHIE Erkki-Sven Tüür Mit einem breit gefächerten musikalischen Hintergrund und einer Vielzahl von Interessen und Einflüssen ist Erkki- Sven Tüür einer der einzigartigsten Komponisten der Zeitgenössischen Musik. Tüür hat 1979 die Rockgruppe In Spe gegründet und bis 1983 für die Gruppe als Komponist, Flötist, Keyboarder und Sänger gearbeitet. Als Teil der lebhaften Szene der Zeitgenössischen Musik Estlands unternahm er instrumentale Studien an der Tallinn Music School, studierte Komposition mit Jaan Rääts an der Estonian Academy of Music und erhielt Unterricht bei Lepo Sumera. Intensive energiereiche Transformationen bilden den Hauptcharakter von Tüürs Werken, wobei instrumentale Musik im Vordergrund seiner Arbeit steht. Bis heute hat er neun Sinfonien, Stücke für Sinfonie- und Streichorchester, neun Instrumentalkonzerte, ein breites Spektrum an Kammermusikwerken und eine Oper komponiert. Tüür möchte mit seiner Musik existenzielle Fragen aufwerfen, vor allem die Frage: „Was ist unsere Aufgabe?“ beschäftigt ihn. Er stellte fest, dass dies eine wiederkehrende Frage von Denkern und Philosophen verschiedener Länder ist. Eins seiner Ziele ist es, die kreative Energie des Hörers zu erreichen. Tüür meint, die Musik als eine abstrakte Form von Kunst ist dazu fähig, verschiedene Visionen für jeden von uns und jedes individuelle Wesen zu erzeugen, denn wir sind alle einzigartig. Sein Kompositionsansatz ähnelt der Art und Weise, mit der ein Architekt ein mächtiges Gebäude wie eine Kathedrale, ein Theater oder einen anderen öffentlichen Ort entwirft. Er meint dennoch, dass die Verantwortung eines Komponisten über die eines Architekten hinausgeht, weil er Drama innerhalb des Raums mit verschiedenen Charakteren und Kräften konstruiert und dabei eine bestimmte, lebende Form von Energie kreiert.

  • The Choral Compositions of Arvo Pärt As an Example of “God-Seeking” Through Music in Soviet Russia

PÄRT All rights reserved. 85 THE CHORAL COMPOSITIONS OF ARVO PÄRT AS AN EXAMPLE OF “GOD-SEEKING” THROUGH MUSIC IN SOVIET RUSSIA TATIANA SOLOVIOVA* 1. EMERGING FROM THE UNDERGROUND OF ‘OFFICIAL ATHEISM’ OF THE SOVIET ERA Arvo Pärt was a representative of the underground music in the former Soviet Union. His music, like the works of many other musicians and art- ists, did not fit within the narrow bosom of Socialist Realism – the prevail- ing ideology of the time.1 He had to struggle in order to write the music he wanted. Nowadays there is no Soviet Empire anymore, and the composi- tions of Pärt represent “the face” of contemporary music. He is one of the few composers whose art music enjoys success similar to that of pop. He is widely known, and his works are being performed all over the world. Arvo Pärt was born in 1935 in Paide, near Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, one of the Western republics within the former USSR. Between the First and the Second World War this little country enjoyed a short period of in- dependence. Life for Pärt till 1980 was inseparably connected with his Motherland Estonia on one hand, and with Russia, which was the political and cultural dominant at that time, on the other hand. Pärt knew and loved national traditions, as well as he knew European and Russian culture: he called the composer Glazunov who taught his teacher Heino Eller ‘my musi- * Tatiana Soloviova studied at Moscow State University and obtained her PhD in His- tory.

  • 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.

  • Suffering and Social Conscience in the Passion Genre from JS Bach's
    Messiahs and Pariahs: Suffering and Social Conscience in the Passion Genre from J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) to David Lang’s the little match girl passion (2007) Johann Jacob Van Niekerk A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Giselle Wyers, Chair Geoffrey Boers Shannon Dudley Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music ©Copyright 2014 Johann Jacob Van Niekerk University of Washington Abstract Messiahs and Pariahs: Suffering and Social Conscience in the Passion Genre from J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) to David Lang’s the little match girl passion (2007) Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Giselle Wyers Associate Professor of Choral Music and Voice The themes of suffering and social conscience permeate the history of the sung passion genre: composers have strived for centuries to depict Christ’s suffering and the injustice of his final days. During the past eighty years, the definition of the genre has expanded to include secular protagonists, veiled and not-so-veiled socio- political commentary and increased discussion of suffering and social conscience as socially relevant themes. This dissertation primarily investigates David Lang’s Pulitzer award winning the little match girl passion, premiered in 2007. David Lang’s setting of Danish author and poet Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Match Girl” interspersed with text from the chorales of Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) has since been performed by several ensembles in the United States and abroad, where it has evoked emotionally visceral reactions from audiences and critics alike.
