Princeton University Press Princeton, New Jersey Erich Leinsdorf Paul Fromm GUNTHER SCHULLER The Berkshire Music Center In 1940, the Berkshire Music Center was established at Tanglewood by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in fulfillment of the dream of Serge Koussevitzky, its Music Director, to provide an environment in which young musicians could continue their professional training and add to their artistic experience through the guidance of eminent musicians. The Center was developed under his leadership until his death in 1951, when he was succeeded by Charles Munch. Erich Leinsdorf has been Director of the Center since 1963 and Joseph Silverstein, Concertmaster of the Orchestra, is Chairman of the Faculty. The Fromm Music Foundation The Fromm Music Foundation is dedicated to the furtherance of contemporary music. Wishing to bring the living flow of musical creation closer to the public, the Foundation aims to return the initiative to the composer and to strengthen the most Vital source of a healthy musical culture: composition. To foster the realization of this aim, the Founda- tion commissions new works, awards prizes for existing works, and spon- sors the study, performance, publication and recording of contemporary music. The Foundation is headed by Paul Fromm of Chicago, its founder and President. The Fromm Music Foundation program at Tanglewood was begun in 1957. Composers at Tanglewood The Contemporary Music Activities Program of the Berkshire Music Center offers instruction, on an advanced level, for a limited number of especially talented composers. The course is directed toward the com- poser whose previous studies and experience have prepared him for work in more advanced forms. A series of seminars and individual instruction in composition have been offered during the 1967 session, and composi- tions of the students have been performed at various Berkshire Music Center concerts. Joseph Silverstein is Chairman of the Faculty. Gunther Schuller, President of the New England Conservatory of Music, is the supervisor of contemporary music performance and head of composition seminars. He is assisted by Stanley Silverman and Paul Zukofsky. Mr. Schuller has replaced Aaron Copland, who retired in 1965 after twenty- five years as head of Contemporary Music Activities at the Center. 7 - 3 - LDS MCDEDN The World of Charles Ives: Three Foss: Time Cycle—Adele Addison Places in New England—Eugene (soprano); Lukas Foss (piano); Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra; Howard D.

Founded in 1942 by Serge Koussevitzky, then Music Direc- tor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, in memory of his late wife Natalie, the Foundation celebrates its 25th anni- versary this year. Its early activities included the annual commissioning of new works and providing aid to the stu- MRS. SERGE KOUSSEVITZKY dents at the Center. In 1950 the Foundation established a PRESIDENT permanent endowment in the Library of Congress, Wash- ington, D. C, with the purpose of continuing the annual program of commissions. In addition, the Foundation has granted scholarships and composition prizes at the Center, as well as sponsored many concerts of new music both here and abroad. In 1965, the Foundation published A Tanglewood Dream, a collection of photographs and memora- bilia which trace the history of the Berkshire Music Center from the time of its estab- lishment in 1940 to its present activities. In connection with its 25th Anniversary, the Foundation, with the cooperation of the National Federation of Music Clubs, has built the Koussevitzky Studio for composers on the grounds of Seranak, the Kous- sevitzky estate near Tanglewood. The Berkshire Music Center and the Fromm Music Foundation are honored to open the celebration of the Koussevitzky Music Founda- tion's 25th anniversary by performing during the Festival of Contemporary American Music some of the many works commissioned by the Foundation. These are Leonard Bernstein's Serenade, George Crumb's Madrigals, Salvatore Martirano's Octet, and Edgard Varese' Nocturnal. In addition, on July 26 the Berkshire Music Center Orches- tra conducted by Koussevitzky Fellow Lawrence Foster gave a performance of Bela Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra. Mrs. Serge Koussevitzky, President of the Koussevitzky Music Foundation, spoke at the Opening Exercises of the 1967 session of the Berkshire Music Center. The following excerpts are from that address: "The month of June, 1967 marks the 25th birthday of the Koussevitzky Music Foundation and I am bringing you our greetings ...

    WIND DRUM The music of WIND DRUM is composed on a six-tone scale. In South India, this scale is called "hamsanandi," in North India, "marava." In North India, this scale would be played before sunset. The notes are C, D flat, E, F sharp, A, and B. PREFACE The mountain island of Hawaii becomes a symbol of an island universe in an endless ocean of nothingness, of space, of sleep. This is the night of Brahma. Time swings back and forth, time, the giant pendulum of the universe. As time swings forward all things waken out of endless slumber, all things grow, dance, and sing. Motion brings storm, whirlwind, tornado, devastation, destruction, and annihilation. All things fall into death. But with total despair comes sudden surprise. The super­ natural commands with infinite majesty. All storms, all motions cease. Only the celestial sounds of the Azura Heavens are heard. Time swings back, death becomes life, resurrection. All things are reborn, grow, dance, and sing. But the spirit of ocean slumber approaches and all things fall back again into sleep and emptiness, the state of endless nothingness symbolized by ocean. The night of Brahma returns. LIBRETTO I VI Stone, water, singing grass, Flute of Azura, Singing tree, singing mountain, Fill heaven with celestial sound! Praise ever-compassionate One. Death, become life! II VII Island of mist, Sun, melt, dissolve Awake from ocean Black-haired mountain storm, Of endless slumber. Life drum sing, III Stone drum ring!

  • ALAN HOVHANESS: Meditation on Orpheus the Japan Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra William Strickland, Conducting
    ALAN HOVHANESS: Meditation on Orpheus The Japan Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra William Strickland, conducting ALAN HOVHANESS is one of those composers whose music seems to prove the inexhaustability of the ancient modes and of the seven tones of the diatonic scale. He has made for himself one of the most individual styles to be found in the work of any American composer, recognizable immediately for its exotic flavor, its masterly simplicity, and its constant air of discovering unexpected treasures at each turn of the road. Meditation on Orpheus, scored for full symphony orchestra, is typical of Hovhaness’ work in the delicate construction of its sonorities. A single, pianissimo tam-tam note, a tone from a solo horn, an evanescent pizzicato murmur from the violins (senza misura)—these ethereal elements tinge the sound of the middle and lower strings at the work’s beginning and evoke an ambience of mysterious dignity and sensuousness which continues and grows throughout the Meditation. At intervals, a strange rushing sound grows to a crescendo and subsides, interrupting the flow of smooth melody for a moment, and then allowing it to resume, generally with a subtle change of scene. The senza misura pizzicato which is heard at the opening would seem to be the germ from which this unusual passage has grown, for the “rushing” sound—dynamically intensified at each appearance—is produced by the combination of fast, metrically unmeasured figurations, usually played by the strings. The composer indicates not that these passages are to be played in 2/4, 3/4, etc. but that they are to last “about 20 seconds, ad lib.” The notes are to be “rapid but not together.” They produce a fascinating effect, and somehow give the impression that other worldly significances are hidden in the juxtaposition of flow and mystical interruption.

  • A Heretic in the Schoenberg Circle: Roberto Gerhard's First Engagement with Twelve-Tone Procedures in Andantino
    Twentieth-Century Music 16/3, 557–588 © Cambridge University Press 2019. This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi: 10.1017/S1478572219000306 A Heretic in the Schoenberg Circle: Roberto Gerhard’s First Engagement with Twelve-Tone Procedures in Andantino DIEGO ALONSO TOMÁS Abstract Shortly before finishing his studies with Arnold Schoenberg, Roberto Gerhard composed Andantino,a short piece in which he used for the first time a compositional technique for the systematic circu- lation of all pitch classes in both the melodic and the harmonic dimensions of the music. He mod- elled this technique on the tri-tetrachordal procedure in Schoenberg’s Prelude from the Suite for Piano, Op. 25 but, unlike his teacher, Gerhard treated the tetrachords as internally unordered pitch-class collections. This decision was possibly encouraged by his exposure from the mid- 1920s onwards to Josef Matthias Hauer’s writings on ‘trope theory’. Although rarely discussed by scholars, Andantino occupies a special place in Gerhard’s creative output for being his first attempt at ‘twelve-tone composition’ and foreshadowing the permutation techniques that would become a distinctive feature of his later serial compositions. This article analyses Andantino within the context of the early history of twelve-tone music and theory. How well I do remember our Berlin days, what a couple we made, you and I; you (at that time) the anti-Schoenberguian [sic], or the very reluctant Schoenberguian, and I, the non-conformist, or the Schoenberguian malgré moi.

Toen wij de eerste keer met Tycho op reis wilden - hij was toen 10 maanden - kwamen er alle mogelijke betuttelaars in de weer. L. kwam zelfs met haar psychiater aandragen, vol afgrijzen over het te kwetsen zieleheil en dat het kind er nog jaren later moeilijkheden van zou ondervinden. Op die tientallen die zich vol bezorgdheid keren tegen het meenemen van kinderen op reis, is er nooit één die problemen ziet in het achterlaten bij verzorgers of in een tehuis. Ik weet niet, misschien is dat bij elk kind weer anders, maar wat mij zelf betreft ondervind ik nu, na bijna dertig jaar, de herinnering aan het 4 weken verzorgd achtergelaten zijn in een Hervormd Weeshuis, als een niet verdwenen aantasting. Een week voordat mijn jongste broer werd geboren, op mijn zevende verjaardag, werden mijn andere broer en ik door een tante die werksterdiensten verrichtte in de familie naar het Hervormde Weeshuis gebracht in de Volkerakstraat. Ik herinner me van de eerste dag een man met lange witte baard, de directeur, manden met potten jam, kinderen joelend op de binnenplaats. De kinderen droegen een uniform in de stijl van de tekeningen van Jetses, in de boekjes van Ot en Sien, mode van ±40 jaar tevoren. De meisjes droegen lang haar tot op de schouders (kort was toen mode), de jongens waren kaal met een kuifje van voren.
