Ludwig Van Beethoven FIDELIO
UniTeL and Classica present Ludwig van Beethoven FIDELIO Melanie Diener Roberto Saccà Sandra Trattnigg Alfred Muff Bernard Haitink Opernhaus Zürich Ludwig van Beethoven his opera will win me the martyr’s crown”, lamented “ Beethoven about his “Fidelio”. Indeed, it cost him almost Tsuperhuman efforts to find an adequate musico-dramatical way of bringing to the stage the battered ideals of the French Revolution, “freedom, equality, fraternity”. The opera underwent FIDELIO and survived two titles, three librettists, three versions and four overtures until it was finally given its successful world premiere in Vienna in 1814 in the two-act form we are familiar with today. Conductor Bernard Haitink Beethoven blends Singspiel, drama, tragedy and a hymn to Orchestra Orchestra of the Zurich Opera House humanity into a unique whole. Chorus Chorus of the Zurich Opera House Chorus Master Ernst Raffelsberger With his “Fidelio”, Bernard Haitink, at the head of the orchestra Don Fernando Krešimir Stražanac of the Oper Zürich, proves that he is an ideal interpreter Don Pizarro Lucio Gallo of Beethoven’s masterwork by delivering an unforgettable Florestan Roberto Saccà performance. Haitink, as we can read in the “Neue Zürcher Leonore/Fidelio Melanie Diener Zeitung”, “grabs the score, carves it into a warm and compact Rocco Alfred Muff musical shape, and sheds the brightest light onto the multitude Marzelline Sandra Trattnigg of motivic connections and contrapuntal reactions”. Haitink drew Jaquino Christoph Strehl storms of applause from the Zurich public especially with his First Prisoner Bogusław Bidziński decision to insert the Third Leonore Overture between the Second Prisoner Morgan Moody dungeon scene and the oratorical closing jubilatory chorus. -

Snakebite by Stephen Montague Born March 10, 1943, in Syracuse, New
Snakebite By Stephen Montague Born March 10, 1943, in Syracuse, New York After growing up in Idaho, West Virginia, and Florida, Stephen Montague studied composition, conducting, and piano at Florida State University (1963-67). He received his doctorate in composition from The Ohio State University in 1972. Additional studies include conducting at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria (1966), computer music at IRCAM, Paris (1981), and at Stanford University, California(1984). After he was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship/Polish Cultural Grant to work at the Experimental Music Studio of Polish Radio in Warsaw, Poland (1972 -74), he moved to London where he was a musician with Strider Dance Company, and has since remained a UK resident while composing and touring worldwide. Though he has been described as a “Romantic minimalist” in the past, his compositions have spanned a considerably wider range of genres and settings than that description might suggest. He has worked with many of the world’s leading modern-era composers such as John Cage, Mauricio Kagel, Steve Reich, Conlon Nancarrow, and Astor Piazzolla. As the prominent classical music writer and broadcaster Stephen Johnson has observed, “In an age when most American composers seem happy to play safe, Stephen Montague’s extrovert, quirkily individual, energetic music recalls older, more adventurous times. …Montague experiments, takes risks, but he still has the common touch.” In a BBC Radio interview, Montague commented: "I have lived in Britain since 1974 but my musical heroes remain American. I admire Charles Ives's unapologetic juxtaposition of vernacular music and the avant-garde, Henry Cowell's irreverent use of fist and arm clusters, the propulsive energy of minimalism, and John Cage's radical dictum that 'all sound is music'. -

Tandis qu’en 1262 Strasbourg E xpositions PAGE 16-17 Gastronomie PAGE 21 est ville libre du Saint-Empire romain germanique, la dynastie des Habsbourg, qui a régné presque sans discontinuer sur l’Autriche, voit Rodolphe Ier monter en 1273, sur le trône de l’Empire. Ce lien historique, ajouté à une proximité géographique tenant à nos frontières communes avec l’Allemagne, a contribué à forger des liens amicaux et chaleureux. Mais ces rapprochements sont aussi culturels, Vienne et Strasbourg partageant un patrimoine architectural ayant subi les mêmes influences ainsi qu’une semblable effervescence intellectuelle, reconnue dans toute l’Europe. C’est donc avec un grand bonheur que nous nous apprêtons à vivre à Strasbourg ces six mois de Présidence du Comité des Ministres du Conseil de l’Europe par l’Autriche. La dernière Présidence autrichienne en 1993 avait été particulièrement féconde avec l’arrivée de trois nouveaux États membres du Conseil de l’Europe. Depuis, ces 20 dernières années ont vu l’adhésion de 15 autres pays. Cette évolution souligne l’importance politique du Conseil de l’Europe et de ses responsabilités à l’égard de cette nouvelle Europe. C’est pourquoi l’Autriche, consciente du programme politique ambitieux qui l’attend, assumera sa mission avec détermination. Elle compte bien sûr la mener en étroite coopération avec tous les États membres du Conseil de l’Europe. -

IM-OS Improvised Music – Open Scores Issue 5, Fall 2020 IM-OS, issue 5, Fall 2020 1 Contents: Editorial (Carl Bergstrøm-Nielsen) 3 Open Forms - Open Decisions, part 2 (Alexis Porfiriadis) 5 Quintet (1976) (Stephen Montague) 18 Enquete: Discussing open scores (Joe Scarffe, Ruedi Debrunner, Stephen Montague, Federico Pozzer, Dennis Bathory-Kitsz) 20 Punctuation (Juan María Solares) 38 Contributors 45 Editors: Carl Bergstrøm-Nielsen, Denmark Teglgårdsvej 649, DK-3050 Humlebaek Jukka-Pekka Kervinen, Finland ISSN 2596-9080 (paper) ISSN 2596-9099 (online) [email protected] http://im-os.net Copyright © 2020 authors, unless otherwise stated. IM-OS, issue 5, Fall 2020 2 Editorial Welcome again - to the IM-OS mix of open scores and texts! This issue includes an enquete in which five specialised composers and musicians discuss open scores - answering questions regarding their experiences, their view of open scores within art and culture, their experiences within concert life and institutions, and the ambitions and challenges they see connected to both composition and performance. A many-sided discussion could certainly continue from all this, and here is a small picking of possible appetizers. As Dennis Bathory-Kitsz says, “graphical scores occupy a field rather than a road” Yet, as in every exercise of craft and art, quality matters as Stephen Montague assures us. Joe Scarffe calls for “clarity of ambitions” in composing and Ruedi Debrunner asserts the necessity of “a deep understanding of the ways of communication within a group” He also stresses the “common understanding” in his Schwarm 13 project as a relevant ambition, and the challenge may intensify with a combined group of different participants.
