    Voice Phenomenon Electronic

    Praised by Morton Feldman, courted by John Cage, bombarded with sound waves by Alvin Lucier: the unique voice of singer and composer Joan La Barbara has brought her adventures on American contemporary music’s wildest frontiers, while her own compositions and shamanistic ‘sound paintings’ place the soprano voice at the outer limits of human experience. By Julian Cowley. Photography by Mark Mahaney Electronic Joan La Barbara has been widely recognised as a so particularly identifiable with me, although they still peerless interpreter of music by major contemporary want to utilise my expertise. That’s OK. I’m willing to composers including Morton Feldman, John Cage, share my vocabulary, but I’m also willing to approach a Earle Brown, Alvin Lucier, Robert Ashley and her new idea and try to bring my knowledge and curiosity husband, Morton Subotnick. And she has developed to that situation, to help the composer realise herself into a genuinely distinctive composer, what she or he wants to do. In return, I’ve learnt translating rigorous explorations in the outer reaches compositional tools by apprenticing, essentially, with of the human voice into dramatic and evocative each of the composers I’ve worked with.” music. In conversation she is strikingly self-assured, Curiosity has played a consistently important role communicating something of the commitment and in La Barbara’s musical life. She was formally trained intensity of vision that have enabled her not only as a classical singer with conventional operatic roles to give definitive voice to the music of others, in view, but at the end of the 1960s her imagination but equally to establish a strong compositional was captured by unorthodox sounds emanating from identity owing no obvious debt to anyone.

Mike Mantler and Carla Bley, being the only two non-leader members of the Guild, had decided to organize an orchestra made up of musicians both inside and outside the Guild. This group, then known as the Jazz Composer's Guild Orchestra and consisting of eleven musicians, began rehearsals in the downtown loft of painter Mike Snow for its premiere performance at the Guild's Judson Hall series of concerts in December 1964. The orchestra, set up in a large circle in the center of the hall, played "Communications no.3" by Mike Mantler and "Roast" by Carla Bley. The concert was so successful musically that the leaders decided to continue to write for the group and to give performances at the Guild's new headquarters, a triangular studio on top of the Village Vanguard, called the Contemporary Center. In early March 1965 at the first of these concerts, which were presented in a workshop style, the group had been enlarged to fifteen musicians and the pieces played were "Radio" by Carla Bley and "Communications no.4" (subtitled "Day") by Mike Mantler.

    For most people, reaching the age of 60 is a signal to take two of the pieces had arrived - Henze’s intriguingly-titled things easy, to enjoy the benefits of free travel or take that Scorribanda pianistica, and Olicantus, a slow ragtime from world cruise you’d always promised yourself. But pianist George Benjamin, a composer whose music Crossley has Paul Crossley will spend his 60th birthday on 17 May long championed. All five commissions have their origins giving a recital in the Wigmore Hall. The first half of the in their composers’ orchestral output. Scorribanda recital comprises premieres of five new works pianistica, roughly translated as ‘pianistic raiding-party”, commissioned by Crossley and in the second half he plays plunders an earlier orchestral work by Henze which itself one of his party-pieces - Debussy’s Preludes Book 2. It is a raided material from an even earlier work. The title of very Salonen’s piece is Scheggia, literally ‘fragment or ‘chip’ (as in ‘chip off the old block). How does Crossley tackle a new piece once it has dropped on to the doormat? ‘I do what I always do. I hack my way through the jungle from beginning to end. I have Party pieces to find a pathway through it so that I have some feeling for the shape and the climaxes. Then I get down to details.’ Pianist Paul Crossley special birthday present to himself from a pianist Crossley considers himself very fortunate that his whose profile is perhaps not so high as it once was. playing career happened at the right time and concedes has commissioned five There have been three constants in Crossley’s pub- that it’s far harder for a young performer these days to lic pianistic life: the French repertoire and the music carve a niche.

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.
