On
letting go(Concerning the
selection of the texts)
In the selection of the
texts, I have allowed
myself to be motivated
and inspired by the
concept of 'letting go'.
This appears to me to be
one of the essential
aspects of dying, but
also of life itself. We
humans cling far too
strongly to successful
achievements, whether
they have to do with
material or ideal values,
or relationships of all
kinds. We cannot and do
not want to let go,
almost as if our life
depended on it. As we
will have to practise the
art of letting go at the
latest during our hour of
death, perhaps we could
already make a start on
this while we are still
alive. Tagore describes
this farewell with very
simple but strikingly
vivid imagery: 'I will
return the key of my
door'. I have set this
text for tenor solo. Here
I imagine, and have
correspondingly noted in
a certain passage of the
score, that the
protagonist finds himself
as though 'in an ocean'
of voices in which he is
however not drowning, but
immersing himself in
complete relaxation. The
phenomenon of letting go
is described even more
simply and tersely in
Psalm 90, verse 12: 'So
teach us to number our
days, that we may apply
our hearts unto wisdom'.
This cannot be expressed
more plainly.I have begun
the requiem with a solo
boy's voice singing the
beginning of this psalm
on a single note, the
note A. This in effect
says it all. The work
comes full circle at the
culmination with a repeat
of the psalm which
subsequently leads into a
resplendent 'lux
aeterna'. The
intermediate texts of the
Requiem which highlight
the phenomenon of letting
go in the widest spectrum
of colours originate on
the one hand from the
Latin liturgy of the
Messa da Requiem (In
Paradisum, Libera me,
Requiem aeternam, Mors
stupebit) and on the
other hand from poems by
Joseph von Eichendorff,
Hermann Hesse,
Rabindranath Tagore and
Rainer Maria Rilke.All
texts have a distinctive
positive element in
common and view death as
being an organic process
within the great system
of the universe, for
example when Hermann
Hesse writes: 'Entreiss
dich, Seele, nun der
Zeit, entreiss dich
deinen Sorgen und mache
dich zum Flug bereit in
den ersehnten Morgen'
['Tear yourself way , o
soul, from time, tear
yourself away from your
sorrows and prepare
yourself to fly away into
the long-awaited
morning'] and later: 'Und
die Seele unbewacht will
in freien Flugen
schweben, um im
Zauberkreis der Nacht
tief und tausendfach zu
leben' ['And the
unfettered soul strives
to soar in free flight to
live in the magic sphere
of the night, deep and
thousandfold']. Or Joseph
von Eichendorff whose
text evokes a distant
song in his lines: 'Und
meine Seele spannte weit
ihre Flugel aus. Flog
durch die stillen Lande,
als floge sie nach Haus'
['And my soul spread its
wings wide. Flew through
the still country as if
homeward bound.']Here a
strong romantically
tinged occidental
resonance can be detected
which is however also
accompanied by a
universal spirit going
far beyond all cultures
and religions. In the
beginning was the sound
Long before any sort of
word or meaningful phrase
was uttered by vocal
chords, sounds,
vibrations and tones
already existed. This
brings us back to the
music. Both during my
years of study and at
subsequent periods, I had
been an active
participant in the world
of contemporary music,
both as percussionist and
also as conductor and
composer. My early scores
had a somewhat
adventurous appearance,
filled with an abundance
of small black dots: no
rhythm could be too
complicated, no register
too extreme and no
harmony too dissonant. I
devoted myself intensely
to the handling of
different parameters
which in serial music
coexist in total
equality: I also studied
aleatory principles and
so-called minimal music.I
subsequently emigrated
and took up residence in
Spain from where I
embarked on numerous
travels over the years to
India, Africa and South
America. I spent repeated
periods during this time
as a resident in
non-European countries.
This meant that the
currents of contemporary
music swept past me
vaguely and at a great
distance. What I instead
absorbed during this
period were other
completely new cultures
in which I attempted to
immerse myself as
intensively as possible.I
learned foreign languages
and came into contact
with musicians of all
classes and styles who
had a different cultural
heritage than my own: I
was intoxicated with the
diversity of artistic
potential.Nevertheless,
the further I distanced
myself from my own
Western musical heritage,
the more this returned
insistently in my
consciousness.The scene
can be imagined of
sitting somewhere in the
middle of the Brazilian
jungle surrounded by the
wailing of Indians and
out of the blue being
provided with the
opportunity to hear
Beethoven's late string
quartets: this can be a
heart-wrenching
experience, akin to an
identity crisis. This
type of experience can
also be described as
cathartic. Whatever the
circumstances, my
'renewed' occupation with
the 'old' country would
not permit me to return
to the point at which I
as an audacious young
student had maltreated
the musical parameters of
so-called contemporary
music. A completely
different approach would
be necessary: an
extremely careful
approach, inching my way
gradually back into the
Western world: an
approach which would
welcome tradition back
into the fold, attempt to
unfurl the petals and
gently infuse this
tradition with a breath
of contemporary
life.Although I am aware
that I will not unleash a
revolution or scandal
with this approach, I am
nevertheless confident
as, with the musical
vocabulary of this
Requiem, I am travelling
in an orbit in which no
ballast or complex
structures will be
transported or intimated:
on the contrary, I have
attempted to form the
message of the texts in
music with the naivety of
a 'homecomer'. Harald

Gesualdo,
Don Carlo, Furst von
Venosa (1560-1613) gehort
zu den eigenwilligsten
italienischen
Madrigal-Komponisten der
Spatrenaissance. Seine
ungewohnlich kuhne,
selbst fur heutige Ohren
modern klingende
Harmonik, seine
chromatischen
Stimmfortschreitungen,
seine ubersteigerte
expressive Tonsprache
regten mich schon vor
Jahren zu einer grosseren
Orgelkomposition an und
inspirierten mich 1981 zu
den >>Sinfonischen
Metamorphosen<<. Dieses
Werk ist eine
vielgestaltige
weitausgesponnene
Fantasie. Sieben
choralartige typische
Klangbeispiele aus
Gesualdos spaten
funfstimmigen Madrigalen
(4., 5. u. 6. Band)
werden teils streng,
teils frei zitiert und
von Holz- oder
Blechblasern intoniert.
Diese Zitate gliedern,
als formale und
inhaltliche Schwer- und
Ruhepunkte, den Verlauf
des gesamten Werks. Jedes
Zitat steht zu Beginn
eines neuen
Satzabschnitts; die
darauffolgenden
>>Metamorphosen<<
entwickeln sich als
rhapsodische
kontrastreiche
Charakterstucke. Im
>>Preludio<< werden aus
den vertonbaren
Buchstaben vom Namen
>>Gesualdo<< (G - E - Es
- A - D) schwebende
Klangflachen,
rezitativische Gedanken
und ein pragnantes
rhythmisches Paukenthema
gebildet. Diese
,,Grundelemente
(Grundstrukturen) tauchen
im Verlauf des Stucks
immer wieder
leitmotivisch auf. Im
zweiten Abschnitt stehen
sich lineare
Streicher-Episoden und
dichte
Blaser-Klangballungen
kontrastierend gegenuber.
Der dritte Teil lauft als
Passacaglia (Thema ist
der Bass eines
Gesualdo-Zitats) in
mehreren Variationen ab.
Im vierten Abschnitt
dominiert lebhafte
Streicherbewegung,
kontrapunktiert von
tiefen Blaser-Signalen.
Der funfte Teil steigert
sich- nach kantablem
Beginn- zum ekstatischen
Trauermarsch. Abschnitt
sechs stellt sich als
>>Rondello<< dar, mit um
sich selbst kreisenden
Klangfiguren (in
verschiedenen Tongruppen
(zwei, drei, funf). Im
siebten und letzten Teil
wird die
verhalten-resignierende
Stimmung des Anfangs
beschworen, ehe eine
knappe Stretta in den
hymnischen Schluss
mundet. In den Textender
ausgewahlten Zitatstellen
geht es meist um
Todessehnsucht,
Liebesqual und
Verzweiflung. z. B. 1.
und 2. Zitat: Moro lasso,
al mio duolo (Ich sterbe,
matt, an meiner Qual) (6.
Buch) 3. Zitat: Gia
piansi nel dolore; o
dolorosa Sorte (Schon
weinte ich in Schmerzen,
oh schmerzliches
Geschick) (6. Buch) 4.
Zitat: Ahi gia mi
discolero (Ach schon
entfarbte ich mich)
(Wehe, der Tod kommt) (4.
Buch) 5. Zitat:
Dolcissima mia vita (Mein
allerliebstes Leben)
(Dich zu lieben oder zu
sterben) (5. Buch) 6.
Zitat: lo moro (Ich
sterbe) (5. Buch) Dem
Werk liegen zwar eine
Reihe von
dodekaphonischen
Strukturen zugrunde (die
teilweise von Gesualdos
Klangzitaten abgeleitet
wurden), doch sind die
einzelnen Abschnitte
auf,,tonale Pfeiler (G -
E - A - D) gegrundet; das
Stuck beginnt in G und
endet aufD, ist also
ubergeordnet tonal
konzipiert, - der Versuch
einer Synthese moderner
Ausdrucksmittel von
Vergangenheit und
Gegenwart. Die
>>Metamorphosen<< sind
ein Stuck Bekenntnismusik
- Bekenntnis zum Leben
und Schaffen Gesualdos,
eines Mannes, der vom
Schicksal gezeichnet war,
denn der Chronik Neapels
bekannt war durch die
Ermordung seiner ersten
Frau und ihres
Liebhabers. Dieser
eminente Musiker war
zugleich ein Mensch von
ubertriebener
Sensibilitat und wilder
ekstatischer Heftigkeit:
,,Er wurde von einer
Horde von Damonen
heimgesucht, die ihm
keine Ruhe gaben, heisst
es in einem
zeitgenossischen Bericht.
Seine Kunst und sein
Leben stand unter dem
Gesetz der inneren
Zerrissenheit, zwischen
Auflehnung und
Resignation (Verzweiflung
und Hoffnung), zwischen
Zartheit und
Leidenschaft. Davon will
meine Musik etwas
aussagen. (Jurg

Meine
eigene neue
Orchesterkomposition hat
den Titel ,,SCHREIBEN.
Die praktische Aktion des
Schreibens, als
mechanisches Einwirken
per Hand, Stift, Pinsel,
auf eine Flache (Papier,
Pergament, Stein etc.),
ausgelost und gesteuert
von einem kommunikativen
Bedurfnis und, bei aller
Spontaneitat, beherrscht
durch die Regeln von
Schrift und Sprache, ist
fur mich einer der
geheimnisvollsten
Vorgange im
zwischenmenschlichen
Alltag, bei dem
menschlicher Geist und
tote Materie einander
begegnen: Gedanken bzw.
Gedachtes werden auf
einer Flache - Papier,
Pergament, Stein -
festgehalten, ihr
sozusagen anvertraut. Und
auf diesem Umweg uber
Sprache, Schrift und
Gravur begegnen sie dem
Geist des lesenden oder
entziffernden
Mitmenschen. Als
Komponist aber frage ich:
gibt es auch einen
anderen
Kausalitatszusammenhang,
gibt es z. B. ein
,,autonomes Schreiben,
eine sinn-freie
Zeichengebung, durch
entfesselte, losgelassene
Fortbewegung der
schreibenden Hand, wo der
Schreibende seinem
eigenen Schreiben nur
noch staunend zusieht?
Werden nicht in Japan
Bilder, auch ,,abstrakte,
geschrieben??? (In einem
Underground-Film der
70er-Jahre uber den
jungen Mozart sieht sich
der Zuschauer versetzt in
ein Zimmer eines
italienischen Gasthauses,
in dem der junge
durchreisende Mozart am
Tisch eilig die
Rezitative einer seiner
italienischen Opern zu
Papier bringt. Mehr als
eine Viertelstunde lang
sind wir dabei, horen
nicht die entstehende
Musik, sondern das
nervose Kratzen der Feder
auf dem groben
Notenpapier in
nachmittaglicher Stille -
nur der gleichmassige
Pendelschlag der Wanduhr
ist noch zu horen -, und
wir erleben diese
sekundare Klangwelt kaum
weniger intensiv als
nachher andere Horer die
dabei stumm entstehende
Musik.) Das Orchester in
meinem Stuck ,,schreibt.
Es fugt Strich zu Strich,
versteht sich selbst als
eine Art vielfaltiges
,,Schreib-Gerat. Wir als
Horer lesen nicht das
,,Geschriebene, aber wir
horen den Vorgang des
Schreibens, den
Bogenstrich, die Bewegung
des scharrenden Holzstabs
auf Fell oder Tamtam, und
wir beobachten dessen
Imitation bzw.
Transformation durch -
zeitweise auch tonlos -
sich zu linearen
Gestalten verbindende
Blasinstrumente als eine
Art klingender
Schreib-Zeremonie. Es
ergibt sich eine Musik,
die gelegentlich ihren
gedanklichen
Ausgangspunkt vergisst
und sich als autonome
Klang-Situation
fortentwickelt und
verwandelt, und die
schliesslich im hochsten
Register eine Art
,,Kantilene be-schreibt.
Wer das deutsche Wort
,,Schreiben (engl. ,,to
write) schreibt, der
schreibt dabei auch
unweigerlich das Wort
,,Schrei (engl. ,,shout),
und er schreibt auch das
Wort ,,reiben (engl. ,,to
rub). So emotional der
erste Begriff gedacht
werden kann, so
nuchtern-praktisch ist
der zweite. Von beiden
Aspekten, samt ihrer
Gegensatzlichkeit, ist
mein Stuck gepragt.

Marche
fatale is an incautiously
daring escapade that may
annoy the fans of my
compositions more than my
earlier works, many of
which have prevailed only
after scandals at their
world premieres. My
Marche fatale has,
though, little
stylistically to do with
my previous compositional
path; it presents itself
without restraint, if not
as a regression, then
still as a recourse to
those empty phrases to
which modern civilization
still clings in its daily
utility music, whereas
music in the 20th and
21st centuries has long
since advanced to new,
unfamiliar soundscapes
and expressive
possibilities. The key
term is banality. As
creators we despise it,
we try to avoid it -
though we are not safe
from the cheap banal even
within new aesthetic
achievements.Many
composers have
incidentally accepted the
banal. Mozart wrote Ein
musikalischer Spass [A
Musical Jape], a
deliberately amateurishly
miscarried sextet.
Beethoven's Bagatellen
op. 119 were rejected by
the publisher on the
grounds that few will
believe that this minor
work is by the famous
Beethoven. Mauricio Kagel
wrote, tongue in cheek,
so to speak, Marsche, um
den Sieg zu verfehlen
[Marches for being
Unvictorious], Ligeti
wrote Hungarian Rock; in
his Circus Polka
Stravinsky quoted and
distorted the famous, all
too popular Schubert
military march, composed
at the time for piano
duet. I myself do not
know, though, whether I
ought to rank my Marche
fatale alongside these
examples: I accept the
humor in daily life, the
more so as this daily
life for some of us is
not otherwise to be
borne. In music, I
mistrust it, considering
myself all the closer to
the profounder idea of
cheerfulness having
little to do with humor.
However: Isn't a march
with its compelling claim
to a collectively martial
or festive mood absurd, a
priori? Is it even music
at all? Can one march and
at the same time listen?
Eventually, I resolved to
take the absurd seriously
- perhaps bitterly
seriously - as a
debunking emblem of our
civilization that is
standing on the brink.
The way - seemingly
unstoppable - into the
black hole of all
debilitating demons: that
can become serene. My old
request of myself and my
music-creating
surroundings is to write
a non-music, whence the
familiar concept of music
is repeatedly re-defined
anew and differently, so
that derailed here -
perhaps? - in a
treacherous way, the
concert hall becomes the
place of mind-opening
adventures instead of a
refuge in illusory
security. How could that
happen? The rest is -
thinking.(Helmut

Richard
Strauss's last completed
tone poem is regarded as
the pinnacle of his art
of orchestration: Now
I've finally learned to
orchestrate, he himself
is once supposed to have
said about it after the
dress rehearsal. The
single-movement Alpine
symphony that we know
today ultimately evolved
- over almost 15 years -
from the original drafts
of an artist's tragedy,
titled Der Antichrist.
Eine Alpensinfonie [The
Antichrist. An Alpine
Symphony] up to the stage
of the last sketches.
With unprecedented
plasticity, the work
showcases a
(metaphysical?) mountain
hike with stops in the
forest, at the waterfall,
on the alpine pasture
and, of course, at the
summit. Apropos alpine
pastures: up to the
score's fair copy stage,
Strauss envisaged a high
and a low alphorn for the
section Auf der Alm [On
the Alpine Pasture] and
the well-known Dulioh
theme, though for various
reasons first detailed in
our new Urtext edition,
these exotic instruments
did not find their way
into the printed version.
In the new edition, the
editor, Nick Pfefferkorn,
reproduces the alphorn
passages in small print,
also adding two alphorn
parts to the performance
material, besides
evaluating the
corrections made by
Walter Seifert at
Strauss's
request.

An
excellent example of
Baroque literature in a
non-contrapuntal style,
the parts in this setting
are technically simple,
thereby allowing
directors ample time to
work on concepts of
musicality and
interpretation during
rehearsals. In his score
notes, John also explains
that in Handel's day this
piece was typically
played three times--
strings alone, winds
alone, then strings and
winds together-- and
gives specific
suggestions for directors
interested in
supplementing this
edition with wind parts.
An optional piano part is

Arnold
Schonberg ist die
zentrale Erscheinung der
Musik dieses
Jahrhunderts. Seine
Bedeutung ist noch zu
seinen Lebzeiten offenbar
geworden, sein Einfluss
uber seinen Tod hinaus
machtig. Seine Werke
haben eine grundlegende
Wandlung des
musikalischen Weltbildes
eingeleitet.Die Ausgabe
samtlicher Werke von
Arnold Schonberg nimmt
fur sich in Anspruch, der
Forschung wie der
musikalischen Praxis
gleichermassen zu dienen.
Sie erscheint in zwei
Serien: Die Serie A in
Folioformat enthalt die
vollendeten Werke, die
vom Komponisten
gefertigten
Klavierauszuge und die
auffuhrbaren
unvollendeten Werke;
ferner Fragmente, die in
dieser Serie wegen des
Grossformats (grosse
Partituren) besser
unterzubringen sind. Die
Serie B in Quartformat
enthalt Fruhfassungen,
Skizzen, Entwurfe und
Fragmente sowie den
Kritischen Bericht und
die Genesis.

Debussy
wrote these two short
dances to a commission
from the
instrument-making firm of
Pleyel, which was keen to
use famous names in the
marketing of its
newly-developed chromatic
harp. The dances are also
playable without problem
on the pedal harp, which
was to replace the
chromatic harp on the
concert platform. The
archaic style of the
pieces, including modal
harmonies, used to
express a
“sacred†rite
and a
“profaneâ€
dance of joy, points to
the enthusiasm for
antiquity of Debussy
himself and of the
artistic world around
1900. This is Henle's
first critical edition of
the pieces, and is based
on careful checking of
the autograph and first
edition.

Jahre nach seiner
Entstehung (als

Dandin, aus der
anschliessend ein Ballett
wurde mit dem englischen

Titelrolle), ist es mir
darum gegangen, den alten
Notentext auszulosen und
sein thematisches und
harmonisches Material
nach Kriterien zu ordnen
und zu entwickeln, die
mir seinerzeit noch nicht
zur Verfugung standen,
und die recht
skizzenhafte Anlage des
Urtexts in eine Klangwelt
heruberzutragen, die
meinen heutigen
Vorstellungen und
Wertbegriffen von Theater
und Musik entspricht und
die gleichzeitig das
heutige kulturelle Klima
Neapels widerspiegelt und
damit eine besondere Art
von Wirklichkeit, die
mich einmal so sehr
gefangengenommen,
bezaubert und beeinflusst
hat.- Hans Werner

The twelve
“London
Symphoniesâ€
comprise the sublime
final statement of
Haydn's symphonic oeuvre.
They were written for the
London impresario Johann
Peter Salomon, and Haydn
himself conducted their
premieres during his
lengthy stays in the
English metropolis in
1791/92 and 1794/95. The
E-flat-major Symphony no.
103 was composed in 1795
as the penultimate of the
London Symphonies. It
owes its epithet to its
unique beginning; a solo
drumroll in the timpani
ushers in the slow
introduction. This
opening bar, marked with
Haydn's heading
“Intrada†and
a pause, even inspires
many a performer to
venture a short timpani
improvisation. This study
edition adopts the
musical text of the Haydn
Complete Edition, thereby
guaranteeing the highest
scholarly quality. An
informative preface and a
brief Critical Report
make the handy score an
ideal companion for all
current and soon-to-be
Haydn fans.

Bei der
Arbeit am 'Siebengesang'
setzte ich mir zum Ziele,
die vielschichtigen
Wechselwirkungen zwischen
einem Individuum (dem
Solisten) und seiner
Umwelt (dem Orchester)
aufzuzeigen und daraus
formgebende
satztechnische Impulse zu
gewinnen.Das Werk
'Siebengesang' ist
7teilig: in den drei
ersten Teilen treten sich
das Soloinstrument und
verschiedene
selbstandige, nach
Register und Klangfarben
geordnete
Orchestergruppen
gegenuber. Im 4. Teil
durchdringen sich
Solooboe und ein Ensemble
von 4 linearen
Instrumenten. Der 5. Teil
ist ein grossangelegtes
Orchester-Crescendo. Uber
23 von Gong-Signalen
markierten
5-Sekunden-Abschnitten
werden nach und nach die
verschiedenen
Orchestergruppen (jede
mit individuellem Tempo)
ubereinander geschichtet.
Der 6. Teil konfrontiert
mit Hilfe eines im Innern
des Instrumentes
angebrachten Mikrophons
verstarkten und
verzerrten Oboenklang mit
dem ganzen Orchester,
wobei die neuen,
ungewohnten Klange der
Oboe das Klangspektrum
des Orchesters in grossem
Masse beeinflussen. Auf
knappstem Raum werden
hier in hektischem
Wechsel die aussersten
strukturellen Gegensatze
zusammengedrangt. Im sehr
ruhigen Schlussteil
vervielfacht sich die
Oboenpartie in 7
Singstimmen, denen als
phonetisches Material die
Schlussverse von Georg
Trakls Gedicht
'Siebengesang des Todes'
zugrunde liegen
