  • The Music Room Conversations About Music with Zoë Beyers Episode
    The Music Room Conversations about Music With Zoë Beyers Episode One Kenneth Woods Conductor, Writer, Cellist (First broadcast 19th June 2020) Programme Notes Gustav Mahler Mahler’s Journeyman Songs We begin this episode in the world of Mahler, with the second movement of his song cycle Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen in Arnold Schoenberg’s 1920 arrangement for small ensemble. This work is not only intensely personal, but also semi-autobiographical. At the time of writing (1884-1885), Mahler was a young, itinerant composer. He was also heartbroken in the wake of a failed romance with the singer Johanna Richter. Ging heut ’Morgen über’s Feld I Walked Across the Fields This Morning Gustav Mahler English translation © Richard Stokes Ging heut ’morgen über’s Feld, I walked across the fields this morning, Tau noch auf den Gräsern hing; Dew still hung on the grass, Sprach zu mir der lust’ge Fink: The merry finch said to me: „Ei du! Gelt? ‘You there, hey - Guten Morgen! Ei, Gelt? Du! Good morning! Hey, you there! Wird’s nicht eine schöne Welt? Isn’t it a lovely world? Zink! Zink! Schön und flink! Tweet! Tweet! Bright and sweet! Wie mir doch die Welt gefällt!“ O how I love the world!’ Auch die Glockenblum ’am Feld And the harebell at the field’s edge, Hat mir lustig, guter Ding’, Merrily and in good spirits, Mit den Glöckchen, klinge, kling, Ding-ding with its tiny bell Ihren Morgengruß geschellt: Rang out its morning greeting: „Wird’s nicht eine schöne Welt? ‘Isn’t it a lovely world? Kling! Kling! Schönes Ding! Ding-ding! Beautiful thing! Wie mir doch die Welt gefällt! O how I love the world!’ Und da fing im Sonnenschein And then in the gleaming sun Gleich die Welt zu funkeln an; The world at once began to sparkle; Alles, alles, Ton und Farbe gewann! All things gained in tone and colour! Im Sonnenschein! In the sunshine! Blum ’und Vogel, groß und klein! Flower and bird, great and small.

    NORTHERN STARS MUSIC FROM THE NORDIC AND BALTIC REGIONS NAXOS • MARCO POLO • ONDINE • PROPRIUS • SWEDISH SOCIETY • DACAPO Northern Stars Often inspired by folk tradition, nature, landscape and a potent spirit of independence, the music of Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltic states is distinctive and varied, with each country’s music influenced by its neighbours, yet shaped and coloured by its individual heritage. Traveling composers such as Sweden’s Joseph Kraus introduced 18th and early 19th century classical trends from Germany and Italy, but with national identity gaining increasing importance as Romantic ideals took hold, influential and distinctive creative lines were soon established. The muscular strength of Carl Nielsen’s symphonies grew out of the Danish nationalist vigor shown by Friedrich Kuhlau and Niels Gade, extending to names such as Per Nørgård today. Gade was a teacher of Edvard Grieg, who owes his position as Norway’s leading composer, at least in part, to the country’s traditional folk music and the poignant lyricism of the Hardanger fiddle. The music of Finland is dominated by the rugged symphonies of Jean Sibelius, and his Finlandia ensured his status as an enduring national symbol. Sibelius successfully combined the lessons of Viennese romanticism with a strong Nordic character, and this pragmatic approach has generated numerous contemporary giants such as Aus Sallinen, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Kalevi Aho and Kaija Saariaho. Turbulent history in the Baltic States partially explains a conspicuous individualism amongst the region’s composers, few more so than with Arvo Pärt, whose work distils the strong Estonian vocal tradition into music of striking intensity and crystalline beauty.
