Vals
d'la Masca; Il racconto
della Montagna; Sequenze
sotterranee
Th
e Alpinia Suite
was commissioned and
composed for the festival
<>
and is dedicated to my
friend and colleague Elio
Galvagno. It was
performed for the first
time on August 30, 2011,
in the Church of San
Giovanni in Saluzzo, by
an ensemble of
professional and student
guitarists from all over
Europe. This piece was
written to commemorate
the first ascent of mount
Monviso, by William
Mathews, Frederick
Jacomb, Jean Baptiste
Croz and Michel Croz,
exactly 150 years before,
on August 30,
1861. The first
movement is a small
Waltz. I imagined a
Masca (a sort of
alpine pixie, a teasing
sprite), dancing all
around the house and
playing tricks, mostly
harmless and funny. The
Masca is a
legendary and very
important character in
the folklore of my
valleys, and all
rationally inexplicable
events of everyday life
are ascribed to her -
such as objects that
cannot be found anymore,
holes in flour sacks,
salt in sugar
bowls... The next two
movements are a homage to
the Mountains. The Tale
is a sort of journal, a
bright and peaceful
chronicle of a hike
uphill, in which the
beauty of the place is
highlighted by an easy
harmony and a sweet
melody. After this,
Underground
sequences evokes that
same world in a darker
and nocturnal way; the
faster pace and the
choice of repeated and
varying patterns are
meant to show the
transformation of the
former environment into
something more complex
and tormented. Here
mountains are a metaphor
of human life, warts and
all: their sundrenched
slopes and their green
pasture grasslands, but
also their icy and
dangerous northern sides,
which demand calm,
training and
caution. (G.
Signorile).

Barca
rolles for a Sinking City
was inspired by the city
of Venice, a place that
has long held the
fascination of artists,
writers and composers,
and which I have been
lucky enough to visit on
several occasions. Sadly
it seems that future
generations may not be so
lucky: in addition to the
city's slow sinking and
recently discovered
tilting, studies predict
that if global warming
and the resultant rise of
ocean levels is unabated,
the entire city (as well
as many other coastal
cities around the globe)
will be under water by
2100. I. Funeral
Gondola The late, cryptic
piano works of Franz
Liszt made a profound
impression on me as a
young composer, among
them two works he
entitled La Lugubre
Gondola (usually
translated as The Funeral
Gondola ) which were said
to be a premonition of
Wagner's death in Venice,
his coffin transported
through the canals in a
black gondola. These late
pieces of Liszt acquired
even greater significance
to me after I spent two
summers in Bayreuth under
the patronage of
Friedelind Wagner, the
granddaughter of Wagner
and great-granddaughter
of Liszt. This movement
is a meditation on
Wagner, Liszt, Venice and
its own evanescence. II.
Barcarolle/Quodlibet The
Quodlibet (Latin for what
pleases) is a musical
form dating back to the
15th century where many
disparate melodies are
juxtaposed. Popular in
the Renaissance, sacred
and secular melodies were
combined, often to
comical effect due to the
resultant incongruity of
the words. The form was
considered the ultimate
test of a composer's
mastery of counterpoint.
The most famous Quodlibet
is without doubt the
final Variation of Bach's
Goldberg Variations. As a
form the Quodlibet is
less common in more
recent music, although
examples can be found in
the works of Kurt Weill
and David Del Tredici.
My own
Barcarolle/Quodlibet was
inspired by the (perhaps
apocryphal) story of the
funeral where musicians
were asked to play a Bach
Choral, but due to
miscommunication played
instead the Bacarolle
from The Tales of
Hoffmann. Here, the Bach
Choral Allen Menschen
mussen sterben (All Men
Must Die) is heard in the
strings pizzicato, with a
tempo indication In slow
motion. The alto line of
the Bach suggests a
phrase from Beethoven's
Ninth Symphony (Alle
Menchen werden Bruder)
heard in the muted
trombone. Before long,
the famous tune from
Offenbach's opera is
heard, followed by
quotations from iconic
Barcarolles by Chopin,
Mendelssohn and Faure, as
well as two Venetian
popular songs and more
Beethoven. III.
Barcarola/Ostinato/Carill
on An ostinato is a
repeated musical figure,
and carillon is Italian
for music box. This
movement references the
obsolete genre of salon
pieces that imitated
music boxes: such works
by composers like Liadov
and Gretchaninov used to
be a mainstay of
pianists' encore
repertoire. This movement
is however much darker in
conception than those
pleasant trifles.
Utilizing the full
battery of percussion,
the carefully notated
temporal slowing of the
ostinato becomes
overwhelmed by a poignant
chorale melody before
this box is snapped shut.
IV. Barcarolle
Oubliee (Forgotten
Barcarolle) Marked
limpido (still) the final
movement begins with the
sound of rain produced by
a percussion instrument
called (appropriately) a
rain stick. Halting
phrases in the harp
coalesce into the
accompaniment for a
plangent melody heard in
the clarinet. The central
Adagio of this movement
leads to a shattering
climax, before the
opening phrases return
and dissipate into
nothingness.

I wrote
this piece with a darker
sonority and an emphasis
on lyricism, qualities
that I associate with the
viola. In the first
movement, titled
Fantasia, the viola
begins with a quiet and
free cadenza, becoming
more passionate until the
woodwinds join in
dialogue with the
soloist. Gradually the
rest of the orchestra
enters, exploring ideas
from the solo cadenza
while introducing a new
theme that reappears in
the last movement. The
second movement is a
scherzo, mischievous in
mood with the orchestra
and viola trading barbed
jokes. The antics are
interrupted by a brass
chorale with
embellishment from the
viola. The scherzo then
resumes with prominent
contributions from the
bassoons. The last
movement, titled
Nocturne, plays with
different kinds of music
associated with the
night. A sensual and
romantic atmosphere gives
way to something more
menacing and ultimately
violent. After a climax
from the full orchestra,
soft strings and solo
viola lead us into the
coda, taking an ambiguous
idea from the first
movement and transforming
it into a lyrical and
heartfelt prayer. The
concerto ends with the
solo viola ascending on
the crest of an
orchestral wave of
sound.

Cica
da larvae live
underground for years,
creeping about slowly and
peacefully in the
darkness until that
sudden, beautiful brief
moment when, one warm,
damp summer’s eve,
they emerge,
metamorphosed into a
highly mobile life form.
Gaily they dance in the
sunshine, singing
ardently to the trees in
all their greenery ---
but only for a short
while, for, just as
suddenly, they are gone.
The same process repeats
year upon year. The life
cycle of this string
quartet resembles that of
the cicada. Initially,
two embryonic cells
remain hidden within
dense, gloomy
note-clusters; over time
they evolve into buds,
grow and then blossom.
They appear for the first
time in their adult form
in the fast middle
section, where they
assume the shape of two
very popular Chinese folk
melodies, Jasmine and Old
Six Blows, albeit in
wholly chromaticized and
defamiliarized variants.
After their grand
efflorescence, these
forms gradually dissolve
into transparent wisps of
sound.

Musicians
onstage stand in the
limelight and enjoy their
fame whereas after
performance they become
shrouded in a strange fog
of isolation. Light is
associated with ascent
and descent: it can lead
into brightness, but
equally into darkness.
Light can illuminate and
yet bedazzling; fog
stands for insecurity,
uncertainty and anxiety
... but also for
mysticism and wafting
dreams. Somehow time
stands still...

Corona -
The Solar Trilogy No. 3
for Orchestra was
composed by Poul Ruders
in 1995. Programme note:
CORONA makes the final
part of the
SOLAR-TRILOGY, a huge
symphonic triptych about
the life and behavior of
the Sun. The first'panel'
GONG depicts the birth,
life and final collapse
of our nearest star, the
second ZENITH describes
in its ultra-slow tempo
the patient rise of the
Sun toward midday
ferocity and its
subsequent setting.
CORONA, then, is a
symphonic 'portrait' of
the phenomenally hot
whispy brim encircling
and radiating from the
Sun, a sizzling halo of
electrons and photons
visible only during a
total eclipse. Formally
CORONA follows the
process of such
totalityin progress:the
gradual eclipsing by the
Moon - total darkness
with thefierce, sparkling
outer corona - the
gradual 'rebirth' of the
light toward the full
gl.ory and warmth of the
Sun.Besides the obvious
astronomical narrative of
the SOLAR-TRILOGY there's
a metaphysical angle too,
underlying each of the
three compositions: GONG,
in spite of its apparent
energy, may be the most
pessimistic of them all,
epitomizing the death and
ultimate annihilation of
the prime source of Life
itself. ZENITH is a
hommage to human
aspiration and spiritual
endurance and CORONA ends
with Hope and Glory after
a journey from depression
throughtotal despair.
Super-structurally, the
zenith of ZENITH makes
the zenith of the entire
trilogy, i.e. when the E-
flat of the unisone horns
in ZENITH is heard, we
are exactly halfway
through the collected
work. Poul Ruders.

For
generations, the people
of the world walked in
darkness, unable to find
their way. They yearned
for a king who would lead
them. Could This Be
the Day? is one of
the most memorable
moments from Joseph and
Pamela Martin's cantata,
Canticle of Joy,
and is available here as
a separate octavo.
Orchestrated by Brant
Adams and incorporating
“O Come, O Come.
Emmanuel,” this
hauntingly beautiful
Advent choral expresses
the world's deep longing
and emotional prayers of
hope that the Messiah
will come.
