The piece
traces key events in the
life of Haakon the Good,
later to become King
Haakon I (ca. 921-960),
who had been fostered by
King Athelstan of England
as part of a peace
agreement made by his
father (“The Future
King”). The English
king brought him up in
the Christian religion
and, on the news of his
father's death, provided
him with ships and men
for an expedition against
his half-brother Eirik
Bloodaxe, who had been
proclaimed king of
Norway. On his arrival he
travelled north
(“The Journey to
Trondheim”), where
he began to gain the
support of the landowners
by promising to give up
the rights of taxation
his father had previously
claimed. Elrik's sons
allied themselves with
the Danes, but were
invariably defeated by
Haakon, who was
successful in everything
he undertook except in
his attempt to introduce
Christianity to the
country (“The
Missionary King”),
which aroused an
opposition he did not
feel strong enough to
face. One of his most
famous victories was
“The Battle of
Rastarkalv” (near
Frei) in 955. By placing
ten standards far apart
along a low ridge (to
give the impression his
army was bigger than it
actually was), he managed
to fool Eirik's sons that
they were outnumbered
(the ten standards are
represented by ten loud
chords that begin in m.
420). The Danes fled and
were slaughtered by
Haakon's army.

The Book of
Urizen is a work for
concert band, solo
soprano, and a male
narrator in which sound
collages of religious
expressions are used. The
piece is inspired by the
compelling visionary poem
of the same name (which
the poet
illustratedhimself) by
the Englishman William
Blake (1757-1827), who
occupies a unique
position in western
literature and the visual
arts. He was not just a
poet and a writer, but he
was also a graphic
artist, a painter, an
illustrator, a
spiritualist, areligious
visionary, and a mystic
philosopher. For the
performance of this work,
a professional sound
system, including two
microphones and a CD
player, is needed. The
three sound collages are
three separate tracks on
the enclosed CD and can
beplayed easily at the
right moment. The Book
of Urizen bears
resemblance to Genesis
and Exodus, of which the
contents form the basis
of the Christian, Jewish,
and Islamic faith. Blake
adhered to the principle
that all religions are in
fact one,and that deities
reside in human beings.
In The Book of
Urizen this is
represented in “The
Net of Religion,â€
which is spanned over the
earth by Urizen. The
sound collages, compiled
by Jacob de Haan in the
studio, find their origin
inJerusalem, the Holy
City, where the
afore-mentioned faiths
“come
together.†In the
first movement of
this composition, The
Vision, Urizen
prepares his vision of
the world, and he
presents this to the
“Eternals.â€
His vision is
rejected,and Urizen locks
himself up in his own
abstract world. When he
does emerge again, he is
confronted with rage by
the gathered Eternals.
Urizen flees the wrath of
the Eternals, “the
flames of eternal
fury,†and enwombs
himself in his own world.
Whenthe Eternals see
Urizen in his
“stony
sleep,†they wonder
if this is death. The
blacksmith Los is torn by
grief because of the
isolation of Urizen. It
brings him to rouse his
fires, prepare his forge,
and to give
Urizen’s world
concrete form. In
thesecond
movement, The
Creation,
Urizen’s world,
but also man, woman, and
child are created. Los is
horrified with the
appearance of
Urizen’s body. He
mourns and pities Urizen,
and from his blood a
female form comes into
being, with thename
Enitharmon. The Eternals,
fearful of the female
form, decide to erect a
tent to obstruct their
view to eternity.
Enitharmon and Los beget
a son, called Orc. Los
baptizes him as a child
of the “fallen
world.†Orc is fed
at Enitharmon’s
breast,which makes a
girdle of jealousy
restrict Los’
chest. He takes the child
to the top of the
mountain and chains him
down. The cries of Orc
awaken Urizen, who
explores his world
creating instruments of
scientific measurement to
do so. Los encircles
theface of Enitharmon
from the sight of Urizen
and Orc. She then
populates the earth by
giving birth to an
enormous race.The

Urizen is now

Taking as a
basis the events at the
funeral service for Pope
John Paul I, the
conclave, the
inauguration of the new
pope, and the visit of
Benedict XVI at the
Synagogue of Cologne,
through Benedicere -
Litanei, Helmschrott
presents a piece of
'experienced music'. He
translates his
experiences into music -
which is exemplified in
the All Saints' Day
litany that was heard
again and againat the
festivities in Rome, or
the shofar which was
played in Cologne. He
sees his work as a symbol
of what he has
experienced and an
invocation of the past,
as an appeal for a better
future.
Trans
figured Life - Still
Life, Op. 165 (violin and
piano) - David
Braid
I am keen on
concise musical forms
such as Prelude and
Fugue, where there is one
clear straightforward
idea, followed by another
that is more involved and
developed.
In
keeping with that idea,
this work consists of two
distinct pieces, the
first - Transfigured Life
- aims to draw in the
listener with its quick,
dancing rhythm and
simple, melodic violin
part. It 'transfigures'
via a few short solo
piano interludes into
just two alternating
notes to end - which are
the core of the original
idea, now made clear by
clearing everything else
out of the
way.
The second
piece - Still Life -
retains its sense of
stillness through an
uncomplicated piano line
that gives lots of space
for the violin's
contrasting (but again
simple) part. As an
absolute, not
programmatic, piece the
title refers to the
atmospheric colour and
pacing only; it's up to
the listener to see
'Still life' of their
choosing in their own
mind.
A note on
performance: Despite
my reference to 'simple'
lines, and the work's
determined avoidance of
mainstream modernist
squeak - the work has
certain performance
challenges of phrasing
and ensemble that
requires considerable
skill and musicianship.
The work has had the
privilege of being
recently recorded by
violinist Ezgi
Sarıkcıoğlu and
pianist Rossitza
Stoycheva, and is
available on all major

The
harmonic turns and piano
configurations in La vie
anterieure - the former
life - seem almost
exuberantly lyrical. At
the beginning, the
archaic sounds and words
of the male choir conjure
up a dream world that is
soon flooded with the
power of the waves and
the rich polyphonic
harmony of the choir and
the piano. With the
outcry C'est la que j'ai
vecu! [I have lived
there] which expresses
the fervent yearning to
return to a past life,
the collective
desperately reinforces
the longing for the past.
Once more, the women's
choir conjures up this
lost paradise in an
undulating soft sound
before the desolate
sadness is pierced by the
power of the music of the
piano postlude, creating
a moment that is
completely in the
present.
