But there are reasons far more compelling than mere longevity to regard Elliott Carter as the most eminent of living American composers, and as one of the foremost composers in the world at large. His name has come to be synonymous with music that is at once structurally formidable, expressively extraordinary, and virtuosically dazzling: music that asks much of listener and performer INTRODUCTION alike but gives far more in return. Carter was born in New York and, except during the later years of his education, has always lived there. After college and some postgraduate study at Harvard, like many an aspiring American composer of his generation who did not find the training he sought at home, Carter went off to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger, an experience which, while enabling a necessary development of technique, also lent his work a conservative, neoclassical style for a time.

  • MUSIC for MY LOVE, VOLUME THREE by Martin Anderson
    MUSIC FOR MY LOVE, VOLUME THREE by Martin Anderson Yodit Tekle was born in Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, on 29 December 1977, and came to the United Kingdom as a refugee from the harsh internal policies of her native country. We were introduced by a mutual friend at a concert on 13 April 2008, and she stopped the breath in my throat – I hope you know the feeling when you first see someone and know that’s where you have to be – and, but for a hiatus of a few months, we spent the rest of her short life together. In the autumn of 2014 Yodit was diagnosed with stomach cancer. That kind of news throws everything into perspective and so the first thing I said to her when I went to see her in hospital was: ‘I hadn’t realised I loved you so much’. Quick as a flash, she answered: ‘So where’s the ring?’ I countered: ‘But what happens if we get married and you survive?’ We both laughed loudly – because neither of us thought for a minute that she really might die. Even so, on the bus home that evening I didn’t require much reflection to understand what needed to be done, and as soon as I got in, I went online and bought a ring. We duly got engaged on Christmas Day, when Yodit was so full of life and happiness that even now, years later, it doesn’t seem possible that she had less than five months to live.1 This project of 100+ new pieces for string orchestra had its origins in a Skype conversation with the composer Steve Elcock just after that first shocking diagnosis.

  • John Cage Sonatas & Interludes
    ZUBIN KANGA JOHN CAGE SONATAS & INTERLUDES Wednesday 12 October 6pm | Salon Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre in association with Melbourne Festival ARTIST Zubin Kanga, solo piano PROGRAM John Cage (1912–1992) Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano (1946–1948) Sonata I Sonata II Sonata III Sonata IV First Interlude Sonata V Sonata VI Sonata VII Sonata VIII Second Interlude Third Interlude Sonata IX Sonata X Sonata XI Sonata XII Fourth Interlude Sonata XIII Sonata XIV and XV (“Gemini” – after the work by Richard Lippold) Sonata XVI ABOUT THE MUSIC John Cage towers over modern American music as one of its most original musical voices, and most influential iconoclasts. Cage’s music spans many styles and approaches, from his work with chance operations (using dice and the Chinese ‘Book of Changes’, the I Ching) to his many collaborations with dancers and choreographers including his partner, Merce Cunningham, to his experimentation with graphic notation. Perhaps his most famous work is 4’33” (1948). Consisting of four minutes and 33 seconds of silence, it’s often unfairly used as the punchline for jokes about experimental music, though it deserves to be seen as Cage intended it – as a deeply profound exploration of the rituals of performance and the intensity of performed silence: two obsessions that can be found throughout his oeuvre. One of Cage’s most significant innovations was his radical expansion of the ‘prepared piano’. Although he was not the first to stick objects between the strings of a piano to alter its sound, the extent and complexity of preparations that Cage developed set a new benchmark which has rarely been surpassed.

  • A STUDY of UNSUK CHIN's PIANO ETUDES by SOO KYUNG
    A STUDY OF UNSUK CHIN’S PIANO ETUDES by SOO KYUNG KIM (Under the Direction of Adrian Childs and Evgeny Rivkin) ABSTRACT This document investigates the six piano etudes that have been written to this point (1995-2003) from an envisioned set of “12 Piano Etudes” composed by Korean-born composer Unsuk Chin (b. 1961), one of the most accomplished composers of the twenty-first century. These etudes are an excellent case study in Chin’s developing musical language. They synthesize elements from around the world (scales, rhythms, and harmonies) with influences from composers such as her teacher, György Ligeti. They also reflect her experiments in sound created through her electro-acoustic work. This study provides a brief biography of Unsuk Chin, along with an introduction to her published works. This is followed by a detailed discussion of the six piano etudes. The main body of this study is an analysis of all six etudes with respect to their formal structures, unique harmonic language, and rhythmic virtuosity. Each analysis is followed with performance suggestions to enable pianists to approach the technical difficulty of each work.
