for Two FlutesWhat could
be more delightful than
playing Telemann duets,
or playing the Telemann
Fantasias? Sharon Sparrow
and Jeffery Zook have
created a remarkable set
of duet adaptations of
the Fantasias,sounding as
if Telemann himself had
composed them as two-part
inventions. The original
Telemann works are shared
between the two players,
mixed with counterpoint
to enhance the authentic
solo works. The result is
equally suitable for
formal recitals and
recreational duet
playing! The present
publication includes two
performance scores of
their settings of
Fantasias 1-6, with a
Volume II to include
Fantasias

ACTIONS,
INTERPOLATIONS AND
ANALYSES, symphonies for
bass-clarinet and large
ensemble (1987-90), is
what is commonly termed a
work in progress. So far
Schaathun has completed
three of five parts. The
is the composer's first
large-scale attempt to
investigate possible
connections between
ostensibly unrelated
material. Explained in
simple terms, it involves
taking two of Schaathun's
own type of texture
(composed by means of
different techniques) and
letting them rotate
around a familiar musical
object (in this case a
short excerpt from
Stravinskij's Symphonies
of Wind instruments in
which he employs the
famous frozen chords). In
the course of the piece
the elements takes over
various characteristics
from one another and the
form progresses from
fairly clear-cut textures
to a situation where the
various textures are
superimposed, creating a
dramatic flow. On a more
advanced level, the piece
is about trying to
mediate between different
musical textures as
metaphors for the
different levels of the
sound itself. One of the
main questions in this
context is; What is size
in music? Is it possible
to take a small
chord(i.e. narrow
register, few
instruments, simple tone
colours) and then blow it
up (wide register, many
instruments, advanced
mixtures) in such a way
that the listener still
perceives it as the same
chord? You have simply
moved closer to the
sound. At any rate, when
Schaathun composed the
piece, he himself
travellig into the sound,
as if were viewing a
texture from a distance.
He then recomposed the
same situation and drew
closer, and then
recompose it a third time
and simply get close
enough to discover the
world of sounds that thus
emerged. A world of
sounds capable of
travelling at a
tremendous speed...
However, like all
concertos, the piece is
of course about the
individual and his
relationship to his
surroundings (society).
Schaathun has often
pondered on the reason
for this preoccupation
wih solo concertos. The
answer derives from his
firm conviction that
nothing would ever happen
if it weren't for the
initiative, the Action,
of the individual.

This
cycle of ten piano
miniatures by Jan Hanus
is intended for the
youngest pianists; an age
group for which it is
usually very difficult to
find adequate recital
pieces that would respect
not only the mentality of
a small child but also
its technical level. The
titles of the individual
pieces (March of the
Industrious Ants,
Sparrows' Party, Bug is
swinging, Musician
Cricket and others)
already give a good
picture of the inventive,
humorous and, to certain
extent, programme
compositions in which one
can easily feel the
atmosphere incorporated
in their titles.
Individual compositions
are supplemented with
lovely illustrations by
Daniela Zichova which
surely makes the
experience of playing the
pieces even more
enjoyable.

More than
my earlier works, this
one is interspersed with
metrically bound rhythms
and musicianly characters
that constantly
recrystallize and drift
towards or away from
familiar situations.The
familiar: These are
dance-like figures and
music-making formulas,
but also songs and, in
two cases fragments of
Bach's music - playfully
collected memories of
impressions in which -
consciously and
unconsciously - I am
embodied with that
collective comfort in
whose protection
bourgeois thinking and
feeling, magically
protected, grow up and
emerge apart.(It is well
known that such security
has its fetishes from the
childlike to the adult
stage: Home, religious
bond, holidays,
tradition, longing for
childhood - the
superficiality may have
little idea of the depth
that opens up underneath.
There is also no question
that we are still marked
by such security even
when the contradictions
and alienation of
existence force us to
step out of their
protection, to recognize
and act upon reality, and
to oppose the domination
of such inner bonds where
their original truth has
become the fatal untruth
of comfortable illusion,
stubbornly and fearfully
conjured idyll and
reactionary
narrow-mindedness.My
music feeds on figures in
which such memories are
encapsulated. It deals
with them not much
differently than in other
pieces with the elements
of the traditional
musical concept of
material, having already
always reflected
compositionally as a
product of sociality and
anticipation of musical
expression, i.e. it moved
into a structurally
expanded context and
expressively redefined
from there.Such an
approach aims at
overcoming lack of
freedom: grasping as part
of conceiving, i.e. not
philosophical reflection,
but rather an
artistically gripping
reflex by intervening in
the physical immediacy of
such predetermined
elements. These penetrate
and infect the structural
events, inducing a
musicianship that cannot
be relied upon; the music
jumps onto rhythms like
onto moving vehicles,
allows for being carried
by them until they deform
or disintegrate. This
creates an incline of
rhythmically shaped
situations: sequence and
interweaving of dances
and structures.The role
of the solo string
quartet is versatile,
obbligato and
concertante, leading and
accompanying in a
changing sense. Set as a
chamber music apparatus
in an orchestral
landscape, it repeatedly
forces its own sound
dimensions onto the
orchestra, it must accept
being drowned out at
times, it nests in the
holes of tutti fields, it
acts as a louse in the
fur, forcing one to
listen in and out.The

These six
short pieces might more
readily be described as
fantasies, each with its
own sound-world but
linked by shared
material. The mood of
each of these short
movements is guided by an
imaginary landscape, one
shadowed by the blackened
tree, a far-away song,
shadows past, a
quickening moon,
forgotten voices, and by
the harrowed land. The
title of the last
movement plays on the
word harrow, something
that is used to break up
the soil, but also
bringing with it
suggestions of a land
both pained and
wounded.

I have
only visited Damascus
once, twenty years ago,
on the way to
Palmyra. I had a
purpose (I was writing
music for a play about
Palmyra’s Queen
Zenobia) but essentially
I was a tourist.
Like any visitor, I was
thrilled to step out of
the noisy modern city
into the magical ancient
world of the walled Old
City, its vibrant souk
leading to the
magnificent mosque, and a
labyrinth of winding,
narrow streets filled
with the smell of
unleavened
bread.
In Palmyra,
I was met with
extraordinary kindness
everywhere. On one
occasion, a little
Bedouin boy noticed that
I was risking sunstroke
wandering bare-headed
among the spectacular
ruins: he showed me how
to tie a turban, then
took me to have tea with
his family in their
tent.
Since then, I
have watched helplessly
as these places of wonder
have been devastated and
their inhabitants
scattered and
killed. When the
Sacconi Quartet suggested
that I might choose a
Syrian poet for our
collaboration, I welcomed
the idea.
I
searched for a long time
to find a contemporary
poet whose work might
gain from any music I
could imagine. I
felt it was important to
find first-hand accounts
of the Syrian experience
– but, of course, I
was always reading them
in translation. In
an anthology
called Syria
Speaks, I was
astonished to read
something that looked
like prose, but was full
of poetry. It was
Anne-Marie
McManus’s fine
translation of Ali
Safar’s A
Black Cloud in a Leaden
White Sky
– an
eloquent, thoughtful,
contained yet vivid
account of life in a
war-torn country, all the
more moving for its
restraint.
In
setting these words, I
have not attempted to
imitate Syrian
music. However,
there is what might be
called a linguistic
accommodation in my
choice of scale, or
mode. Several
movements are in a mode
that I first discovered
while writing a cantata
commemorating the First
World War: it has a
tuning that I associate
with war, its violence
and desolation.
This eight-note
mode is similar to scales
found in Syrian
music. I did not
choose it in the
abstract: it emerged from
the harmonies I was
exploring in the earlier
work, and emerged again
as I was looking for the
right musical colours to
set Ali Safar’s
words. In this
work, its Arabic aspect
is more prominent. -
