Between 1982-87 he was rector of the Cracow Music Academy, between 1987-90 he was music director of the Cracow Philharmonic. His debut with the London Symphony Orchestra started a conducting career, which includes collaboration with world's top orchestras and performances of standard repertoire pieces, as well as own works. He rose to fame after he was awarded three main prizes (for works Strophes, Emanations, and From David's Psalms) at the 1959 Young Polish Composers Competition. Later works, like Anaklasis (written for the I960 Donaueschingen Festival), Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima, or St Luke Passion, met with wide recognition in Europe and the United States. Rising number of commissions, invitations to universities, and numerous honorary doctorates are proof of worldwide acclaim and growing popularity of his works. One of the secrets of his success lies in his extraordinary ability to strike the listener by an accessible, and yet contemporary language. Works (selection): Strophes for soprano, speaker and 10 instruments (1959), Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima for 52 string instruments (I960), Anaklasis for string orchestra and percussion groups (I960), Polymorphia for 48 string instru­ ments (1961), Florescences for orchestra (1961), Stabat Mater for 3 choirs a cappel- la (1962), Sonata for Cello and orchestra (1967), St Luke Passion for solo voices, choir and orchestra (1967), SiringQuartetNo 2 (1968), The Devils ofLoudun, opem after Aldous Huxley (1968/1969), Cosmogony for solo voices, choir and orchestra (1970), Utrenya for solo voices, choir and orchestra (1970), De natura sonorisll for orchestra (1971), Concerto

  • Gardner • Even Orpheus Needs a Synthi Edit No Proof
    James Gardner Even Orpheus Needs a Synthi Since his return to active service a few years ago1, Peter Zinovieff has appeared quite frequently in interviews in the mainstream press and online outlets2 talking not only about his recent sonic art projects but also about the work he did in the 1960s and 70s at his own pioneering computer electronic music studio in Putney. And no such interview would be complete without referring to EMS, the synthesiser company he co-founded in 1969, or namechecking the many rock celebrities who used its products, such as the VCS3 and Synthi AKS synthesisers. Before this Indian summer (he is now 82) there had been a gap of some 30 years in his compositional activity since the demise of his studio. I say ‘compositional’ activity, but in the 60s and 70s he saw himself as more animateur than composer and it is perhaps in that capacity that his unique contribution to British electronic music during those two decades is best understood. In this article I will discuss just some of the work that was done at Zinovieff’s studio during its relatively brief existence and consider two recent contributions to the documentation and contextualization of that work: Tom Hall’s chapter3 on Harrison Birtwistle’s electronic music collaborations with Zinovieff; and the double CD Electronic Calendar: The EMS Tapes,4 which presents a substantial sampling of the studio’s output between 1966 and 1979. Electronic Calendar, a handsome package to be sure, consists of two CDs and a lavishly-illustrated booklet with lengthy texts.

    Revista Vórtex | Vortex Music Journal | ISSN 2317–9937 | http://vortex.unespar.edu.br/ D.O.I.: https://doi.org/10.33871/23179937.2020.8.1.12 Teaching electronic music – journeys through a changing landscape Simon Emmerson De Montfort University | United Kingdom Abstract: In this essay, electronic music composer Simon Emmerson examines the development of electronic music in the UK through his own experience as composer and teacher. Based on his lifetime experiences, Emmerson talks about the changing landscape of teaching electronic music composition: ‘learning by doing’ as a fundamental approach for a composer to find their own expressive voice; the importance of past technologies, such as analogue equipment and synthesizers; the current tendencies of what he calls the ‘age of the home studio’; the awareness of sonic perception, as opposed to the danger of visual distraction; questions of terminology in electronic music and the shift to the digital domain in studios; among other things.

The remark of Arnold Schoenberg (in the 1911 Preface to his Theory of Harmony) – “This book I have learned from my pupils” – is true for me, too. Teaching is E learning – without my students I would not keep up nearly so well with important changes in approaches to music making, and it would be more difficult to develop new ideas and skills.

Gemeinsam können wir auf ein gutes Jahr für die Kunst zurückblicken: nationale und internationale Preise für den österreichischen Film, die Umsetzung der Kinodigitalisie- rung für die Programmkinos, ein vielbeachteter Beitrag Österreichs bei der Kunstbiennale in Venedig, weitere Stärkung des zeitgenössischen Kunstschaffens und die nachhaltige © Hans Ringhofer Umsetzung der Nachwuchsförderung und Kulturvermittlung.

The technological boom during and following the Second World War provided composers with a new wave of electronic devices that put a wealth of new, truly twentieth-century sounds at their disposal. Percussionists, by virtue of their longstanding relationship to new sounds and their ability to decipher complex parts for a bewildering variety of instruments, have been a favored recipient of what has become known as electroacoustic music.

But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years.

    PHILHARMONIC HALL LINCOLN CENTER F O R T H E PERFORMING ARTS 1968-1969 MARQUEE The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center is Formed A new PERFORMiNG-arts institution, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, will begin its first season of con­ certs next October with a subscription season of 16 concerts in eight pairs, run­ ning through early April. The estab­ lishment of a chamber music society completes the full spectrum of perform­ ing arts that was fundamental to the original concept of Lincoln Center. The Chamber Music Society of Lin­ coln Center will have as its home the Center’s new Alice Tully Hall. This intimate hall, though located within the new Juilliard building, will be managed by Lincoln Center as an independent Wadsworth Carmirelli Treger public auditorium, with its own entrance and box office on Broadway between 65th and 66th Streets. The hall, with its 1,100 capacity and paneled basswood walls, has been specifically designed for chamber music and recitals. The initial Board of Directors of the New Chamber Music Society will com­ prise Miss Alice Tully, Chairman; Frank E. Taplin, President; Edward R. Ward­ well, Vice-President; David Rockefeller, Jr., Treasurer; Sampson R. Field, Sec­ retary; Mrs. George A. Carden; Dr. Peter Goldmark; Mrs. William Rosen- wald and Dr. William Schuman. The Chamber Music Society is being organ­ ized on a non-profit basis and, like other cultural institutions, depends upon voluntary contributions for its existence. Charles Wadsworth has been ap­ pointed Artistic Director of The Cham­ ber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
