Fausto Romitelli Professor Bad Trip: Lesson III (2000) One of the most promising of the young generation of Italian composers, Fausto Romitelli, born in Gorizia in 1963, died prematurely in 2004 after a long illness. He fi rst studied under at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena, and later at the Scuola Civica in Milan. His works include: Ganimede (1986), for alto, and Kû (1989), for 14 musicians. In the 1990s, he continued his investigations of sound at Ircam in Paris, and with the musicians of L’Itinéraire—Tristan Murail, Gérald Grisey, Michael Lévinas and Hugues Dufourt. Anything but a formalist composer, Romitelli did not shy away from hybridization, breaking down the barrier between art music and popular music. Distortion, saturation, psychedelic rock—inspired compositions and “dirty” harmonies were part of his musical universe, evident in Acid Dreams & Spanish Queens (1994), for amplifi ed ensemble, EnTrance (1995), and Cupio Dissolvi (1996).

  • Female Composer Segment Catalogue
    FEMALE CLASSICAL COMPOSERS from past to present ʻFreed from the shackles and tatters of the old tradition and prejudice, American and European women in music are now universally hailed as important factors in the concert and teaching fields and as … fast developing assets in the creative spheres of the profession.’ This affirmation was made in 1935 by Frédérique Petrides, the Belgian-born female violinist, conductor, teacher and publisher who was a pioneering advocate for women in music. Some 80 years on, it’s gratifying to note how her words have been rewarded with substance in this catalogue of music by women composers. Petrides was able to look back on the foundations laid by those who were well-connected by family name, such as Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, and survey the crop of composers active in her own time, including Louise Talma and Amy Beach in America, Rebecca Clarke and Liza Lehmann in England, Nadia Boulanger in France and Lou Koster in Luxembourg. She could hardly have foreseen, however, the creative explosion in the latter half of the 20th century generated by a whole new raft of female composers – a happy development that continues today. We hope you will enjoy exploring this catalogue that has not only historical depth but a truly international voice, as exemplified in the works of the significant number of 21st-century composers: be it the highly colourful and accessible American chamber music of Jennifer Higdon, the Asian hues of Vivian Fung’s imaginative scores, the ancient-and-modern syntheses of Sofia Gubaidulina, or the hallmark symphonic sounds of the Russian-born Alla Pavlova.

    XcapeSeason_SongscapeProgram.pdf 1 9/30/15 2:41 PM C M Y CM MY CY CMY K Message from the Artistic Director Welcome to the 2015-16 Season of the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players! And, welcome to our first concert, Songscape, in which we’ll examine the nature of utterance and memory through song. The beginning of every concert season is a fresh opportunity for exploration: new ideas to be illuminated and new options to be considered. But with Songscape we’ll start by thinking about the end of things, by examining the language of loss. In Death Speaks, David Lang culls photo by Bill Dean through the songs of Franz Schubert for instances in which death speaks to the living. Lang uses excerpts from thirty-two songs, cutting and assembling them to form a melancholy collage of music and a terrifying image of the voice of death. Whether as “Der Erlkönig,” in which death is as fleet as a racing horse or Die Schöne Müllerin, in which it is a seductress, beckoning the miller to cross the veil, the voice of death is rendered audible, personal and powerful. Lee Hyla’s We Speak Etruscan imagines the sound of ancient Etruscan as it might be spoken by modern reed instruments. It also forces us to contend with the death of a language. How did Etruscan (from this word we get the modern name, Tuscany), the forerunner of Latin, and the language of a major indigenous culture of significant artistic refinement, simply vanish? That is not far from a more tantalizing question: what happens to the past when we can no longer hear its sounds? By this I don’t mean when we can no longer hear the music of the past.

  • Reinterpreting the Concerto Three Finnish Clarinet Concertos Written For
    Reinterpreting the Concerto Three Finnish clarinet concertos written for Kari Kriikku Sapphire Clare Littler MA by Research University of York Music December 2018 Reinterpreting the Concerto: Three Finnish clarinet concertos written for Kari Kriikku Abstract The origins of the word concerto can be traced to two different sources: the first is the Italian translation, to mean ‘agreement’, and the other stems from the Latin concertare, which means ‘to compete’. Ironically, the duality presented by these two translations encapsulates the true meaning of the concerto: opposition and resolution. This thesis focuses on Finnish works for clarinet and orchestra composed for Kari Kriikku in the last forty years, and seeks to analyse three in depth: Jukka Tiensuu’s Puro (1989); Magnus Lindberg’s Clarinet Concerto (2002); and Kaija Saariaho’s D’OM LE VRAI SENS (2010). The works have been chosen as these composers were all born around a similar time in Finland, and all worked with the same clarinettist, whom they all know personally. Through analysis, Reinterpreting the Concerto seeks to discover how each of these composers tackled the pre- existing model of the concerto, and suggest reasons for compositional decisions. The thesis will end with a discussion of clarinet technique, and how much writing for Kriikku in particular may have influenced the works. This essay will be formed of several sections, with the first examining the traits which could be considered important to each of the pieces: form, and how this results in the linear progression of the work; continuity and discontinuity created through melodic treatment, and how the soloist interacts with the ensemble.
