The Sieidi concerto is in one movement but divided into several sections both faster and slower, wildly rhythmic, lyrical and more static. For the soloist it is extremely demanding because he is constantly having to switch from one technique to another - for djembe and darabuka playing with the hands differs radically from that of tom-tom or drumstick technique or the playing of pitched percussion instruments such as the marimba and vibraphone.

Normally, in a percussion concerto, the soloist has to play surrounded by a huge battery of instruments, often behind the orchestra. In Sieidi he uses only nine instruments, and he is in front of the orchestra the whole time. The instruments are in a row in front of the platform, starting with the djembe on the far right (as viewed by the audience) and ending with the tam-tam on the far left. The soloist plays only one instrument at a time.

The title of the concerto, Sieidi, is Sami - a language spoken in the northern region of Finland, Sweden and Norway known as Lapland. It denotes an ancient cult place such as an unusually-shaped rock, sometimes also a special rock face or even a whole mountain fell.

Oper in einem Akt. Composed by Krzysztof Penderecki. This edition: Saddle stitching. Book. Edition Schott. Classical. Text book/libretto. Composed 1984-1986. 52 pages. Duration 100'. Schott Music #BN 3651-10. Published by Schott Music (HL.49013489).

Wortlich ubersetzt ist das Libretto ein 'kleines Buch', ein 'Buchlein'. Doch nicht irgendein Buchlein. Seit es Opern gibt, gibt es die Textbucher dazu. Oft erzahlen die Universalsprache Musik und der Ausdruck der Darsteller die Geschichte, auch wenn man die Worte nicht versteht. Trotzdem ist ein Libretto sehr hilfreich fur das Verstandnis der Details. Gerade dann, und das fast immer, wenn die Oper in der Originalsprache aufgefuhrt wird. In den Libretti ist in der Regel das Original der Ubersetzung gegenubergestellt. Sie konnen so problemlos parallel Handlung und Inhalt folgen. In den meisten Fallen existiert das Textbuch Oper bevor die Musik dazu komponiert wird. Spannende und dramatische Geschichten bilden die Grundlage fur faszinierende Opernkompositionen.

'LISTENING EARTH' is a symphonic drama, a one- movement composition in four parts based on the work by two writers, Joseph Addison (1672-1719) and W.H.Auden (1907-1973). Joseph Addison is not particularly well known; he was English, a classical scholar, essayist, poet and politician, but one of his hymns was used by Benjamin Britten. in his setting of a Thomas Tallis canon.
The hymn is singularly beautiful and being a composer always inspired by extramusical stimuli such as poems, nature, paintings, I was immediately convinced when I carne across the Addison hymn, that here was exactly what I wanted to use as my major source of inspiration for this piece, commissioned by and written for The Berlin Philharmonic.
I don't refer to the hymn in its entirety, but have chosen the following 3 excerpts, all acting as mottos for the first three sections of the piece, thus turning the piece into a straightforward tonepoem in the classical.
