Rookh Quartet
Rookh Quartet Friday 29th January 2021, 1200 Programme Jamie Keesecker The Impetuous Winds Violeta Dinescu Abendandacht Drew Hammond Soliloquy (world premiere) Elizabeth Raum Quartet for Four Horns I. Allegretto con brio II. Andante con moto III. Scherzo IV. Echoes Alisson Kruusmaa Songs of a Black Butterfly Michael Kallstrom Head Banger Jane Stanley the evolution of Lalla Rookh* * This piece won’t be performed on Friday, but will be added to the programme following the initial YouTube livestream and will be available on our YouTube cannel together with the rest of the programme until 28th February. Q&A with Andy Saunders from Rookh Quartet and composers Jane Stanley and Drew Hammond after the performance Programme notes Jamie Keesecker: The Impetuous Winds (2008) The Impetuous Winds was written in 2008 for a composition workshop with visiting horn quartet Quadre, whilst horn player Jamie Keesecker was studying for his Masters in composition at the University of Oregon. Quadre were struck by the drama and excitement in the work, and took it into their repertoire, including it on their album ‘Our Time’. The whole range of the instrument is covered – almost 4 octaves – and there is a vast array of colour and contrast in the piece. The punchy opening uses the quartet as a mini-big band at times, with rhythmic drive and thick, luscious harmonies. The central section of the work has a long melodic line, which never quite goes in the expected direction, and there are echoes of Mahler’s horn writing in the duet that sits over a muted figure from two of the players. -

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers. -
Incantations Analytical Commentary Graham Waterhouse
Incantations Concerto da Camera for Piano and Ensemble (2015) The balance of traditional and progressive musical parameters through the concertante treatment of the piano Analytical Commentary Graham Waterhouse A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Birmingham City University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2018 The Faculty of Arts, Design and Media, Birmingham City University (Royal Birmingham Conservatoire) Abstract The aim of this research project is to investigate concertante techniques in composition with reference both to traditional models and recent works in the genre, and to redefine a contemporary understanding of concertante writing in preparation for the principal work of this thesis, Incantations for Piano and Ensemble. Starting with the contradictory meanings of the word “concertare” (to compete and to unite), as well as with a fleeting, non-musical vision of combining disparate elements, I investigate diverse styles and means of combining soloist (mainly piano) and ensemble. My aim is to expand my compositional “vocabulary”, in order to meet the demands of writing a work for piano and ensemble. This involved composing supporting works, both of concerto-like nature (with more clearly defined functions of soloist and tutti), as well as chamber music (with material equally divided between the players). Part of the research was to ascertain to what extent these two apparent opposites could be combined to create a hybrid concerto/chamber music genre in which the element of virtuosity transcends the purely bravura, to embrace a common adaptability, where soloist and ensemble players are called upon to assume a variety of roles, from the accompanimental to the soloistic. -
Symposium Zwischen Zeiten Und Welten. Leben Und Werk Von Béla
Symposium in memoriam Lory Wallfisch Zwischen Zeiten und Welten. Leben und Werk von Béla Bartók und George Enescu. Delmenhorst, 18.-20. November 2011 Organisation: Prof. Violeta Dinescu und Roberto Reale Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg 1 6. Zwischen Zeiten Symposium in memoriam Lory Wallfisch (1922-2011) Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg in Kooperation mit dem Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg Delmenhorst/HWK Delmenhorst Zwischen Zeiten & Welten Leben und Werk von Béla Bartók und George Enescu 18.-20. November 2011 In diesem Jahr ist der 130. Geburtstag von zwei der schillerndsten musikalischen Persönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts zu feiern: Béla Bartók und George Enescu. Deswegen widmet sich das 6. Zwischen Zeiten-Symposium an der Universität Oldenburg diesen beiden Komponisten. Bartók und Enescu verbindet viel: Beide sind im osteuropäischen Raum geboren, beide haben ihre Heimat verlassen und dies als existentielles dramatisches Erlebnis empfunden, beide waren nicht nur Komponisten, sondern hervorragende praktizierende Musiker (Bartók als Pianist, Enescu als Violinist, Pianist und Dirigent), und schließlich haben beide in ihrem Werk das Eigene ihrer Herkunft bewahren können und Fremdes assimiliert. Bartók war ein angesehener Musikethnologe, dessen Recherchen bis heute Gültigkeit haben. Seine Transkriptionen und Analysen der traditionellen Musik Osteuropas sind Meilensteine der Forschung und haben zugleich seine eigene Musik inspiriert. Dass (und wie) diese Quellen seine Musik beeinflusst haben, bleibt in seiner Vielfalt noch zu entdecken. George Enescu hingegen hat keine wissenschaftlichen Feldforschungen wie Bartók betrieben, doch hat er, kaum weniger auf die traditionelle Musik seiner Heimat Bezug nehmend, eine Tradition begründet, die sich gänzlich von der Bartóks unterscheidet. Enescu wie Bartók haben mithin musikalische Sprachen entwickelt, die bei allen Gemeinsamkeiten außerordentlich individualisiert sind. -

Die Komponistin Violeta Dinescu
Musik Die Komponistin Violeta Dinescu Von Kadja Grönke Seit die aus Rumänien stammende Komponistin Violeta Dinescu am Institut für Musik der Universität Oldenburg den Lehrstuhl für angewandte Komposition innehat, wird das international orientierte Profil des Faches durch ihre weltweiten künstlerischen Kontakte entscheidend mitgestaltet. Zugleich kristallisiert sich ein neuer osteuropäischer Schwerpunkt heraus. Das Komponieren Dinescus ist durch ihre rumänische Herkunft geprägt; zugleich lebt es vom lebendigen Kontakt mit ausgezeichneten Interpreten. Ihr universitäres Engagement zeugt von dem Wunsch nach effektiver Vermitt- lung zeitgenössischer Musik und von einer besonderen Offenheit gegenüber Von Musik ungewöhnlichen, aber überregional besessen: beachteten und publikumswirksamen die Kom- Veranstaltungsformen. ponistin Violeta Dinescu. ls Violeta Dinescu 1982 nach Deutsch- der Universität Oldenburg eine Professur für Aland kam, lagen eine profunde künst- angewandte Komposition erhielt. lerisch-praktische Ausbildung an einer der Ursprünglich hatte Violeta Dinescu in besten Musikhochschulen Europas und vier Deutschland allerdings ein ganz anderes Jahre aktiver Lehrtätigkeit hinter ihr: Am Ziel: Sie wollte ein zweites Mal studieren, Bukarester Konservatorium hatte sie Klavier, und zwar Musikwissenschaft.

Coons *World Premiere Program Notes Plainsound Litany for violoncello solo op. 46a (2004) This virtuoso solo piece is an intonation study exploring some appropriate microtonal non- vibrato tuning and playing techniques which may serve to optimize the sonority of precisely tuned double stops, focusing the ear on particular partials and combination tones within their compound sound spectra. The composition features the consonance of various just intervals derived from the first eleven notes of the overtone series. Its first part begins with familiar intervals like fifths and thirds, and it ends with the microtonal sound of the “Lesser Diesis”, which is the difference between an octave and the sum of three pure major thirds, with a size of about 1/5 of a whole tone (41 cents). The middle section presents the peculiar timbre of septimal harmonies, i.e. sounds employing the natural seventh (like the consonant diminished fifth with a frequency ratio of 7/5, the narrow minor third 7/6, or the large septimal whole tone 8/7, which is only a sixthtone smaller); and the final section highlights some of the most euphonious quartertone harmonies which are based on the eleventh note of the harmonic series, namely the interval 11/4 (a fourth augmented by a quartertone plus an octave) and the neutral seventh 11/6. -
INTERVIURI De Vorbă Cu Violeta Dinescu
Revista MUZICA Nr. 5 / 2017 INTERVIURI De vorbă cu Violeta Dinescu Andra Apostu Câți dintre noi se pot numi patrioți? Ce cuvânt... aproape desuet! Compozitoarea Violeta Dinescu, stabilită în Germania de peste 30 de ani îl trăiește, îl simte și îl arată. În amintirile cu Myriam Marbe, în muzica pe care o scrie și pe care o doinește fără intenție, în orele de curs pe care le susține și în fiecare inițiativă prin care susține muzica și compozitorii din România. A.A.: Stimată doamnă Violeta Dinescu, aș vrea să vă invit la o călătorie în timp care sigur vă va face plăcere. Povestiți-ne despre începuturile dvs. muzicale, despre perioada de formare artistică. Ce „intersecții” interesante ați avut, ce relații cu oameni speciali v-au influențat? V.D.: Mă bucur să pot răspunde la aceste întrebări. Am avut noroc să am parte de maeștri care ne-au instruit cu dărnicie - o calitate care nu este de la sine înțeleasă și de care mi-am dat seama mult mai târziu, când am privit în urmă. Am studiat cu Aurel Stroe și Nicolae Beloiu instrumentație și orchestrație, cu Alexandru Pașcanu armonie, cu Ioana Ștefănescu istoria muzicii, cu Emilia Comișel la folclor (cu dânsa am mers încă din primul an la culegere de folclor și am și 3 Revista MUZICA Nr. 5 / 2017 avut intenția serioasă să devin folcloristă). Nu în ultimul rând, am avut privilegiul de a studia cu Ștefan Niculescu analiză muzicală. Îmi amintesc că la dânsul rămâneam în fiecare zi de luni, în primul an de studiu, la toate orele pe care le avea - începea cu anul nostru și continua cu ceilalți ani; domnia sa mi- a îngăduit să particip și la cursurile pe care le susținea colegilor mai mari iar în anii care au urmat mi-am dat seama că el niciodată nu se repeta ci descoperea mereu noi analize pentru studenții lui. -

ADOLF BUSCH: CHAMBER MUSIC, VOLUME TWO – MUSIC for CLARINET II by Jürgen Schaarwächter
ADOLF BUSCH: CHAMBER MUSIC, VOLUME TWO – MUSIC FOR CLARINET II by Jürgen Schaarwächter Although his reputation as a legendary violinist has remained constant, it is only in recent years that Adolf Busch (1891–1952) has obtained a degree of fame as a composer. At the age of two-and- a-half he received his first violin lessons from his father, Wilhelm; at four he made his first public appearance, and the label of child prodigy was soon applied. From 1902 to 1909 he studied at the Cologne Conservatoire with Willy Hess, Bram Eldering and Fritz Steinbach, a renowned Brahmsian and Regerian, who was his composition teacher. Busch’s compositional activities accompanied his brilliant career as performer all through his life, but always remained subordinate to his performing – not least because he very rarely programmed music of his own in his concerts. He produced a total of seventy works with opus numbers, including several symphonies, a violin concerto, piano concerto, piano and organ music and songs and, especially, chamber music for a variety of forces.1 Not all of these compositions were intended to be performed in concert – time and again Busch created Hausmusik (‘Domestic Music’), as he called it, for professional musicians and for gifted amateurs alike, to be performed (if possible prima vista) simply for the joy of playing it. The Hausmusik, Op. 26, composed in 1921, was especially popular, partly because it was published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1926 when similar pieces by Hindemith and others had revived interest in domestic music-making. Opp. 26a and 26b (given as Nos. -
