This is one of the early works by which the clarinettest Jorg Widmann also made himself a name as a composer. The form develops from the - at first only tentative - interaction of the three instruments. Sound-sensitive and eruptive moments alternate unexpectedly. Between 'jazzy-secco' and the 'Spieluhr' solo, the piano announces the passage of time: '12 Glockenschlage Mitternacht'.

Ein Liebespaar, unter deren Gier der Boden nachgibt und deren Lust zu Treibholz wird: dies ist das Herz von Hans Thills Gedicht Paradox und stellt den ersten Moment der Inspiration fur Christian Jost dar, diesem Text musikalische Gestalt zu verleihen. Die reduzierte Sprache des Gedichts, seine surreale erotische Welt, eroffnet Raume, in denen Satze zu Romanen und einzelne Worter zu endlosen Linien werden. Kompositorisch hat dies fur Jost nicht nur die Moglichkeit geschaffen, eine Geschichte hinter der Geschichte zu erzahlen, sondern auch jedes einzelen Wort in Klange einzuschweissen, deren Richtung er bestimmt. Folgerichtig ist demnach im Text und nicht an ihm entlang komponiert worden. Was bedeutet: der ohnehin zerschnittenen Sprache wurde eine weitere Ebene hinzugefugt, indem die jeweiligen Textschwerpunkte in verschiedene Klangbilder gefasst wurden, deren Summe dann die Dramaturgie des Ganzen bestimmt hat. Dadurch haben sich grossere atmosplarische Unterschiede und Spannungen ergeben, als das sehr lyrische Gedicht vermuten liesse. So aber konnte der Komponist eine Dichte an Ausdruck und Intensitat entwickeln, die bereits im Text enthalten sind, auch wenn er sich in ein lyrisches Gewand verkleidet hat.

In a magazine with reports on mental institutions, Thomas Larcher came across interviews with patients: 'These sentences are of a strong inner power, yet do not claim to convey an overall picture of these people. There rather appear snatches from their world like a stroboscope.' The soprano part in Larcher's composition attends to these texts in a very restraint, often introverted manner, but they continue to have an effect in the instrumental parts, like catalysts of seemingly disturbing processes. The world premiere with Juliane Banse, Christian Tetzlaff, Nikolaj Schneider and the composer on the piano took place at the renowned festival 'Spannungen' in the power station of Heimbach in 2002. Recently, a recording has been released by ECM New Series.

In this trio, as in most of his compositions, Jost has pictures and associations with true incidents, films and novels in his mind. What inspired him to write this piece was Joseph Conrad's novel 'Heart of Darkness' in which the protagonist Marlow says about the city of Brussels: 'In a few hours I arrived in a city that always make me think of a whited sepulchre.'In 'Sepulchral City', a work commissioned to mark the tenth anniversary of the Jerusalem Chamber Music Festival, however, the title refers to Jerusalem, the city of white tombs. The topic of Jost's trio is a travel into the soul and living spirit of a city, with no physical movement being needed to find the heart of impenetrable darkness: It lies within the city walls.In this respect, 'Sepulchral City' equals a compositionally unfolded funeral bell. Even the animated middle section rather has insisting than progressive power. At the end, the only thing to do is to inhale and exhale.

As a prestigious composer of the late 18th century, Luigi Boccherini's (1743-1805) Rondo, transcribed for the cello by Paul Bazelaire, contains many features which continue to make the composer's music popular and loved to this day. Known for his courtly, gallant style, Rondo, originally composed for violin and harpsichord, clearly exemplifies these qualities through the 2/4 time signature, flourishing cello lines and evocative, chordal and rhythmic Piano accompaniment. Moreover, syncopation rhythms and ornamentation heard throughout the piece create further excitement. All of these musical elements combine to create a highly enjoyable piece for the cello repertoire. In addition, the clear print of separate cello and piano parts in this edition of Rondo add to this irresistable purchase for budding cellists.

'El-Metfarnageen' is the first piece by the young Egyptian composer and percussionist Mohamed Saad Basha published by Schott Music.In the Egyptian colloquial language, 'El-Metfarnageen' refers to a person who, strongly influenced by the Western way of living, has almost forgotten his/her true origin. As a consequence, the piece's musical motifs critically examine the influence of Western culture in North Africa while at the same time emphasizing the origins of Egypt's own musical culture shaped over millennia.'El-Metfarnageen' was commissioned by the world-famous Bibliotheca Alexandrina and performed for the first time in its historic rooms.

If a chanson is combined with a birthday celebration (in this case, that of the Ensemble Utopik who commissioned this new work), this inevitably brings back scenes of childhood. For me, Adieu Madras conjures up memories of the homeland of my family, and in particular Henri and Jacqueline Salvador whose wonderful TV programmes I watched during the 1970s. It is without doubt thanks to Henri Salvadors wonderful interpretation that this old chanson from Martinique, dating from the late eighteenth century and almost a national anthem both in Martinique and Guadeloupe, has also gained such popularity in France.

For clarinet in C/violin, cello and piano As is typical of Finnissy, this piece is demanding for the performers. The tempo is slow and much of the music of the upper two parts consists of sustained notes, with more movement occurring in the piano. The clarinet part can be played on the violin.

The title of the piece refers to the Agama, a fundamental holy scripture of early Buddhism. The young composer says about it: 'The basic ideas of these writings were a source of my inspiration. The compositional material corresponds to my own musical language and is strongly linked to the spirit and concept of these Buddhist writings.'The result is a very lively and spirited interplay of the musical passages among the different instruments. The piece is a harmonious blend of Chinese contemporary music and distinct reminiscences of tradition.

Another commissioned work has Ewazen borrowing from his own The Eternal Dance of Life for a special new gift for cello and piano. The composer says it best: As a former cellist in my youth, have always loved the instrument, and have enjoyed writing for it. The work contains swirling arpeggiated gestures, a lilting compound meter and a real sense of expressivity, allowing the cello to sing with soaring lines and genuine lyricism. For advanced performers.

The film noir genre of 1940s cinema typically includes a strong but flawed male lead (often a detective), a beautiful woman who coerces the male into committing murder or is a killer herself (a “femme fataleâ€), and a twisting plot line that involves one or more homicides. These movies typically are shot in black and white, with emphasis on shadows and light, alcohol and cigarettes, trench coats and fedoras. Most of the story lines do not have happy endings. Inspired by this genre, NOIR VIGNETTES consists of four movements, each depicting an aspect of film noir: Murder at Midnight, Loaded Gun, Femme Fatale, and Last Cigarette.In the mid-1940s, film critics in France noticed a trend emerging in movies from the United States, which they coined film noir (which translates to “black filmâ€). These movies were dark, moody, and pessimistic, reflecting the agitation and anxiety present in society following World War II. Several characteristics are commonly found in many of these movies, including a strong but flawed male lead (often a detective), a beautiful woman who either coerces the male lead into committing murder for her or is a killer herself (a “femme fataleâ€), and a twisting, turning plot line that involves one or more homicides. Additionally, there are several visual elements that these movies share: many are shot in black and white, with great emphasis on the use of shadows and light; alcohol and cigarettes are heavily consumed by men and women alike; and men typically wear trench coats and fedoras. Most of the story lines do not have happy endings. Examples of film noir include Orson Welles’ The Lady from Shanghai, Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity, and John Huston’s The Maltese Falcon.NOIR VIGNETTES consists of four movements, each depicting a different aspect of film noir: Murder at Midnight, Loaded Gun, Femme Fatale, and Last Cigarette.This piece was commissioned by the University of Illinois Research Board on behalf of double bassist Michael Cameron; and it also published for Double Bass and Piano (114-41811). The cello version is transcribed by the composer.-- Stacy Garrop.
