Earth and Sky was commissioned by the BBC for the Proms 2000 season. In keeping with the millennial theme, a work presenting a vision of the future was requested. Trying to be helpful, the BBC provided me with the predictions of various pundits, but their ideas seemed dizzyingly contradictory. Then the simple thought struck me that however varied and complex the answers, the big questions will always remain the same. We may now have a map of the human genome, but how to use the map? How shall I know where I should go? How may I see the I that's me?
As a musician I am hopeful that, no matter how the world develops, future generations will still come together to dance and sing and play. The mysterious power of music to bind us socially and inspire us individually seems to be built into our genes. So, a song of questions; a song about music---these were the ideas which I took to Vikram Seth, who had generously agreed to write the words for me. The resulting poem provided lots of inspiration. It is entirely monosyllabic, enabling considerable variety of rhythmic treatment. I love its permutations and its imagery of paradox and inversion and I have amused myself by playing similar games with the musical material. But there is seriousness as well as fun---the text's juxtaposition of the certainty of death with the search for purpose in life achieves great poignancy when sung by young voices.

Clarinet & Piano

SKU: AP.12-0571539726

Clarinet & Piano. Composed by Anders Hillborg. Masterworks; Solo; Solo Small Ensembles; Woodwind - B-flat Clarinet Solo. Faber Edition. 20th Century; Masterwork. Part(s). Faber Music #12-0571539726. Published by Faber Music (AP.12-0571539726).

ISBN 9780571539727. English.

The music of Anders Hillborg's virtuosic Tampere Raw for clarinet and piano alternates between two vividly different characters: one slowly flowing texture, composed completely intuitively, and one fast, fiercely rhythmical and pulsative texture, where the tone material for the most part is generated from permutations of prime-number series.

A thrilling addition to the repertoire, this seven-minute work was commissioned by the Swedish Royal Academy of Music in 1991 for Swedish musicians Martin Fröst and Roland Pöntinen, who later recorded it on BIS records.

SKU: HL.48185421

Composed by Olivier Messiaen. Leduc. Classical. Softcover. 407 pages. Alphonse Leduc #AL28973. Published by Alphonse Leduc (HL.48185421).

UPC: 888680991944. 8.0x11.0x1.082 inches.

Part of the Treatise on rhythm, colour and ornithology written in French by Olivier Messiaen, this third volume talks about symmetric permutations, the ?out of tempo? and analyses'Four rhythm studies', the 'Organ Book', 'Time-colour' for Orchestra, 'Amen visions' for two Pianos and 'Harawi for Piano and Voice. This treatise depicts the full theory behind Messiaen?s compositions and how he composed music, including his conception of rhythms, his incorporation of birdsong and his relation to sound and colours. While most of the composers struggle to explain their composition, Messiaen has managed to write a Treatise in 7 volumes to explain all the important aspects of his work. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music, he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity, its diatonic aspect, its harmony with limited transposition, its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong, including the 'Bird Catalogue' in 7 volumes..
