Rolf Alexander Wilhelm Rolf Alexander Wilhelm Rolf Alexander Wilhelm (23 June 1927 Munich - 17 January 2013) was a German composer, film composer, arranger and conductor, sometimes referred to as the German John Williams. At the age of seven, Wilhelm began piano lessons. He then attended school in Berlin and Vienna. From 1942 he studied piano and composition with Joseph Marxat the Vienna Academy of Music. His studies were interrupted by service in World War II. Thereafter he graduated from the Hochschule für Musik in Munich where he studied with Henry Squire (conducting), Joseph Haas (composition) and Hans Rosbaud (Master Class). In 1946, Wilhelm produced a radio play, The Canterville Ghost. This work was impressive enough to secure the 19-year-old composer his first commission, and he soon became a busy freelance employee of the radio station. Even for the relatively new medium television, he composed music for different characters stories from Reiner Zimnik, such as for The Angler Jonas (1954) or The Crane (1956). Wilhelm's first major film music was for the 1954 first film of the 08/15 trilogy, the most successful films of the postwar era include. Through the 1990s, he composed music for 62 feature films, including classics like And Forever Sing the Woods (1959), It may not Always be Caviar (1961), The Black-White-Red- Poster Bed (1962), Scotland Yard Hunts Dr. Mabuse (1963), Lausbubengeschichten (1964), The Flying Classroom (1973), The Serpent's Egg (1977), Ödipussi (1988) and Pappa ante Portas (1991). Among his most complex film work is the music for major German production Die Nibelungen (1966/67). Wilhelm also composed the music for far more than 250 radio plays, more than 350 television and 300 commercials. In addition, he created numerous stage musicals , orchestral suites and literary songs. From: International Tuba Euphonium Association Honorary Life Members .

    Vielen Dank an Wolfgang Haas, der uns diese Biographie zukommen ließ. Joseph Haas Joseph Haas wurde am 19. März 1879 in Maihingen im schwäbischen Ries als 3. Kind des dortigen Lehrers geboren. Schon früh zeigte sich seine musikalische Begabung. Zunächst wurde er aber Lehrer. Nach erfolgreicher Prüfung versuchte er seine musikalischen Studien zu vervollkommnen. Entscheidend war dabei die Begegnung mit Max Reger, dem er bis Leipzig folgte. Schon bald zeigten sich die ersten Erfolge als Komponist, die ihm 1911 die Berufung als Lehrer für Komposition am Konservatorium in Stuttgart und 1921 die Berufung an die Akademie der Tonkunst in München brachten. Konsequent ging er in seinem Schaffen von der Kammermusik über Lieder und Chorwerke zu den großen Orchesterwerken, Oratorien und Opern. Von den bedeutenden Werken seien die beiden Opern "Tobias Wunderlich" und "Die Hochzeit des Jobs", die Oratorien "Die heilige Elisabeth", "Das Lebensbuch Gottes", "Das Jahr im Lied" und "Die Seligen", von den Liederzyklen "Gesänge an Gott" nach Gedichten von Jakob Kneip und "Unterwegs" nach Gedichten von Hermann Hesse, von den Messen die "Speyerer Domfestmesse" und die "Münchner Liebfrauenmesse" sowie von den Kammermusikwerken das Streichquartett A Dur op. 50, die Violinsonate h Moll op. 21 und die Klaviersonate a Moll op. 46 genannt. Im Jahre 1921 gründete Joseph Haas mit Paul Hindemith und Heinrich Burkard die "Donaueschinger internationalen Kammermusikfeste für Neue Musik" und bewies damit seine Aufgeschlossenheit für alles Neue, obwohl er selbst stets tonal komponierte. Schon bald war er einer der gesuchtesten Kompositionslehrer in Deutschland. Aus seiner Meisterklasse gingen so unterschiedliche Künstler hervor wie Karl Amadeus Hartmann, Karl Höller, Philipp Mohler, Cesar Bresgen oder die Dirigenten Eugen Jochum und Wolfgang Sawallisch.

  • CUL Keller Archive Catalogue
    HANS KELLER ARCHIVE: working copy A1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49 A1/1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49: independent work This section contains all Keller’s unpublished manuscripts dating from the 1940s, apart from those connected with his collaboration with Margaret Phillips (see A1/2 below). With the exception of one pocket diary from 1938, the Archive contains no material prior to his arrival in Britain at the end of that year. After his release from internment in 1941, Keller divided himself between musical and psychoanalytical studies. As a violinist, he gained the LRAM teacher’s diploma in April 1943, and was relatively active as an orchestral and chamber-music player. As a writer, however, his principal concern in the first half of the decade was not music, but psychoanalysis. Although the majority of the musical writings listed below are undated, those which are probably from this earlier period are all concerned with the psychology of music. Similarly, the short stories, poems and aphorisms show their author’s interest in psychology. Keller’s notes and reading-lists from this period indicate an exhaustive study of Freudian literature and, from his correspondence with Margaret Phillips, it appears that he did have thoughts of becoming a professional analyst. At he beginning of 1946, however, there was a decisive change in the focus of his work, when music began to replace psychology as his principal subject. It is possible that his first (accidental) hearing of Britten’s Peter Grimes played an important part in this change, and Britten’s music is the subject of several early articles.

    ICH SITZE UND SCHAUE AUS: GENESIS, EVOLUTION, AND INTERPRETATION OF K.A. HARTMANN’S FIRST SYMPHONY by DAVID ALLEN CHAPMAN, JR. (Under the Direction of David Haas) ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to identify the personal forces that motivated the composition of the Karl Amadeus Hartmann’s Symphony no. 1, Versuch eines Requiems, and how these may inform an interpretation of the Symphony today. These issues include the influences that led to Hartmann’s unique style in the 1930s, the politics of the work’s would-be reception in the early years of the Nazi Regime, and the post-war changes in the composer’s own interpretation of the work. The final chapter proposes an interpretive reading of the work as a dramatic monologue by the Allmutter, personified by the alto singer, and who mourns the loss of “her sons, her daughters” in a great and oppressive “misery” – an obvious comment on the cruelty and destruction of the Third Reich. The untexted theme and variations movement is seen as a meaningful gesture of identification with those oppressed by the Regime.

  • Figuration and Form in Hartmann's Concerto for Viola, Piano, Wind Instruments, and Percussion (1954-6)
    Historicist Modernism? Figuration and Form in Hartmann's Concerto for Viola, Piano, Wind Instruments, and Percussion (1954-6) Larson Powell I. Modernity The ongoing reevaluation of twentieth-century music, with its debates over the modernist canon and erosion of older teleological models of music history,1 has come to include a number of composers once marginalized by the post-1945 mainstream. Among them is Karl Amadeus Hartmann, whose work, fallen into neglect after his death in 1963, has been revived in a series of recent recordings,2 with attempts at "rehabilitation" in scholarly work as well.3 Much of the older discussion around Hartmann has centered firstly around his work's political status (as supposedly "engaged" composer, despite his having been more of an "inner emigrant"),4 or secondly on the relation of his eight symphonies to the larger history of that genre.5 His two concertos of the 1950s––which mark the caesura between his series of symphonies rewritten from prewar or wartime 1 Paul Attinello, Christopher Fox, Martin Iddon, eds., Other Darmstadts (Abington: Routledge, 2007); Björn Heile, ed., The Modernist Legacy: Essays on New Music (Farnham: Ashgate, 2009); Martin Iddon, New Music at Darmstadt: Nono, Stockhausen, Cage and Boulez (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2013). 2 The complete symphonies, conducted by Ingo Metzmacher, were released in 1999 (EMI 5-56911-2), as was the early work Miserae (Telarc 80528); the completed Wachsfigurenkabinett was recorded in 1999 (Wergo 6640-2), and the Viola Concerto in 2007 (Capriccio 71-112) and 2009 (Wergo 6714-2); the first version of the opera Simplicius Simplicissimus was released in 2009 (BR Klassik 1900-301).

    DEGENERATE MUSIC?! MUSICAL CENSORSHIP IN THE THIRD REICH by Mark Lewis Singer Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts 2011 Advisory Committee Professor Gerald Fischbach, Chair Professor Evelyn Elsing Professor Barbara Haggh-Huglo Professor Marsha L. Rozenblit Professor James Stern ABSTRACT Title of dissertation DEGENERATE MUSIC?! MUSICAL CENSORSHIP IN THE THIRD REICH Mark Lewis Singer, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2011 Dissertation directed by Professor Gerald Fischbach School of Music In 1938, in Düsseldorf, the Nazis put on an exhibit entitled "Entartete Musik” (degenerate music), which included composers on the basis of their “racial origins” (i.e. Jews), or because of the “modernist style” of their music. Performance, publication, broadcast, or sale of music by composers deemed “degenerate” was forbidden by law throughout the Third Reich. Among these composers were some of the most prominent composers of the first half of the twentieth-century. They included Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Webern, Berg, Mahler, Ernst Krenek, George Gershwin, Kurt Weill, Erwin Schulhoff, and others. The music of nineteenth-century composers of Jewish origin, such as Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer, was also officially proscribed. In each of the three recitals for this project, significant works were performed by composers who were included in this exhibition, namely, Mendelssohn, Webern, Berg, Weill, and Hans Gal. In addition, as an example of self-censorship, a work of Karl Amadeus Hartmann was included. Hartmann chose “internal exile” by refusing to allow performance of his works in Germany during the Nazi regime.
