Ursula Mamlok Komponistin Die Musik Ist Meine Heimat Ursula Mamlok Komponistin Die Musik ist meine Heimat URSULA MAMLOK Biografie Ursula Mamlok wurde 1923 in Berlin geboren, wo sie schon früh mit ihrer musikalischen Ausbildung begann. Einer ihrer wichtigsten Lehrer war Gustav Ernest, Dozent an der Humboldt-Akademie in Berlin. Aufgrund ihrer jüdischen Abstammung von den Natio- nalsozialisten verfolgt, verließ Ursula Mamlok gemeinsam mit ihren Eltern Berlin und wanderte 1939 nach Ecuador aus. Hier konnte sie ihre musikalische Ausbildung nicht fortsetzen. Sie schickte die Manuskripte ihrer zahlrei- chen Kompositionen zu verschiedenen Konservatorien in die USA. Im Sommer 1940, im Alter von 17 Jahren, verließ sie Ecuador ohne ihre Eltern, um in New York ein Stipendium an der Mannes School of Music anzutre- ten. Dort war einer ihrer ersten Kompositionslehrer der Dirigent Georg Szell. 1947 heiratete sie Dwight Mamlok. 1955 musste sie 2 noch einmal zur Schule zu gehen, um ihren Bachelor und Master of Music bei Vittorio Giannini an der Manhat- tan School of Music abzuschließen. Bereits 1944 ermög- lichte ihr ein dreimonatiges Stipendium den Besuch des berühmten Black Mountain College.

Biography Ursula Mamlok, born 1923 in Berlin began her musical studies at an early age with Gustav Ernest, professor at the Humboldt Academy. Persecuted by the Nazis she had to leave Berlin in February 1939 going to Guayaquil/Ecuador with her parents. Not being able to continue her studies in Ecuador she sent the manuscripts of her numerous compositions to conser- vatories in U. S.. The Mannes School of Music in New York gave her a full scholarship and she left without her parents at age 17 for New York in 1940. There her teacher was the conductor George Szell. Ursula Mamlok married Dwight Mamlok in 1947 and retur- ned to school in 1955 to obtain her Bachelor and Master of Music with Vittorio Giannini at the Manhattan School of Music. 4 Already a scholarship at the music institute of Black Moun- tain College in 1944 gave her the opportunity to work with Ernst Krenek und Eduard Steuermann which started her desire to change her to style from less complex tonal music to complex non tonal sounds. Her study of twelve tone music afforded her to employ Arnold Schönberg’s system, however modified to suit her own work. Ursula Mamlok am Klavier, New York, 1965 Her later studies with Roger Sessions, Jerzy Fitelberg, Ursula Mamlok was honoured among others by the Stefan Wolpe, and Ralph Shapey proved to be a major following awards: influence in her musical development from 1960 on. 1968 and 1981 National Endowment for the Arts 1981 American Academy and Institute Ursula Mamlok taught composition at New York Univer- of Art and Letters sity, Temple University, City University and over 40 years 1981 and 1982 The Martha Baird Rockefeller Fund composition at the Manhattan School of Music. for Music Recording Award Her work list encompasses over 60 works: for orchest- 1989 Commission of the Koussevitzky ra, chamber music, vocal music, compositions for solo Foundation instruments as well as music for children. 1994 Fromm Foundation Grant Her works are published by Boosey & Hawkes · Bote 1995 John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship & Bock, C.

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.

In 1936 he was asked by choreographer and dancer Léonide Massine to collaborate on a ballet project and Hindemith proposed scenes from the life of St Francis of Assisi. The resulting ballet, Nobilissima Visione (The Noblest Vision), is a work of lyricism, elegy and majesty. This is the first recording of the complete ballet score, not the three-movement concert suite that Hindemith later extracted. The Five Pieces for String Orchestra is an earlier, spirited work dating from 1927. Gerard Schwarz © Ben Vanhouten Sales Points: Most recordings of Hindemith’s attractive, moving, and majestic score for the ballet Nobilissima Visione (The Noblest Vision), are of the three-movement concert suite he extracted from it for performance and which lasts only about 20-minutes. This is invariably coupled with The Four Temperaments (as by DePriest on Delos), or the Symphony in E flat (Tortelier/EMI), or with Mathis der Maler, as on Naxos’ own 1995 disc [8.553078] with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Franz Paul Decker.

  • CELEBRATING URSULA MAMLOK a Portrait Concert of the Berlin-Born American Master
    CELEBRATING URSULA MAMLOK A Portrait Concert of the Berlin-Born American Master CONTINUUM, Cheryl Seltzer and Joel Sachs, directors, presents the second concert of its 44th New York season on Wednesday, January 13, 8 PM, at Merkin Concert Hall at Kaufman Center, 129 West 67th Street. Continuum has enjoyed a long association with Ursula Mamlok, performing her music regularly in the U.S. and abroad -- as far afield as Mongolia and Kazakhstan! Born in Berlin in 1923 she started composing as a youngster. The catastrophe of Hitler forced her family to seek refuge in Ecuador. As a very enterprising teenager, she made contact with Mannes College and still during wartime traveled on her own to New York to accept their offer of a scholarship. She subsequently earned degrees from Manhattan School of Music. Her earlier compositions were in the prevailing traditional mode of the conservatories, but she felt a need to explore more progressive currents. She pursued studies with several pioneers of the day; most influential were Stefan Wolpe, and especially Ralph Shapey, and became an important part of New York’s contemporary music scene from the 1960s onward. Her music of the 60s and 70s boldly employs the new spatial concepts and liberated tonal language of the post-Schoenberg/Webern era. In recent decades she has developed a highly personal, creative use of the 12-tone technique. Attention is focused on melodic elements, intricate contrapuntal inter-weavings, and vivid juxtaposition of contrasting musical characterizations. Ursula Mamlok has written symphonic works (including for the San Francisco Symphony), but most of her music is chamber music.

  • The Clarinetist's Guide to the Performance of the Clarinet, Viola
    The Clarinetist’s Guide to the Performance of the Clarinet, Viola, and Piano Trios by Mozart, Bruch, and Larsen. D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Adrienne Marie Marshall, M.M. & M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Caroline Hartig, Advisor, Karen Pierson Daryl Kinney Copyright by Adrienne Marie Marshall 2013 Abstract The purpose of this study is to provide clarinetists with a study guide for the teaching and performance of the clarinet, viola, and piano trios of Mozart, Bruch, and Larsen. A select bibliography of additional compositions for this medium is also provided. Performance practice details, technical suggestions, historical information, and publication details are included for each work. Although there is a sizeable repertoire for this combination of instruments, only a few works have become recognized as standards of the repertoire, including the trios of Mozart and Bruch. A newer addition to this medium is Libby Larsen’s Black Birds, Red Hills, which is likely to become integrated into the standard repertoire. An interview with composer Libby Larsen regarding new music and her compositions is included. It is recommended that complete scores be obtained to accompany this performance guide. The document will conclude with recommendations to further the creation and performance of this medium. ii Dedication This document is dedicated to my family, Christopher Lape, & Dr. Elfie Schults-Berndt. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor Caroline Hartig, and committee members Karen Pierson and Daryl Kinney for their patience and guidance regarding scholarly research and writing for this document.
