ARKA
stammt aus dem
Sanskrit und bedeutet so
viel wie Strahl, Blitz,
Sonne, Licht, aber auch
Lied, Feuer und Hymnus,
und entwickelt in meiner
Vorstellung sehr viele
unterschiedliche
Assoziationsfelder. In
ARKA stecken
auch die Worter arc
(beten) und ka (Wasser),
und es kann auch
ubersetzt werden mit:
,,Das Wasser stromt aus
dem heraus, der mehr
weiss.
Mein neues
Werk fur Pipa, Oboe,
Pauke, Schlagzeug und
Orchester entstand im
Auftrag der
Kammerakademie Neuss und
auf Anregung des Oboisten
Christian Wetzel. Es
entstanden drei Rituale
mit zum Teil szenischen
Elementen fur die
Solisten und das
Orchester.
Inspirationsquelle in
der Vorbeschaftigung
waren zwei Quellen und
Bucher. Das Daodejing von
Laozi in der
hervorragenden
Neuubersetzung von Viktor
Kalinke, eine der
wichtigsten Quellen
chinesischen Denkens und
der Philosophie dieser
grossen Kulturtradition
und die chinesische
Tradition der
5-Elementelehre und der
Wandlungsphasen. Als
zweites Buch hat mich
,,Die Glut von Roberto
Calasso inspiriert, ein
Buch uber die indischen
Veden in Verbindung mit
den Ursprungen des
Buddhismus und den damit
verbunden Ritualen.
In den letzten 20
Jahren habe ich mich
intensiv mit
ostasiatischer Musik,
Kunst und Philosophie
beschaftigt und habe das
auch durch langere
Studienreisen und
kompositorische Projekte
vertiefen konnen. U.a.
wurde 2012 mein Chorwerk
PRAN in Kolkata in Indien
uraufgefuhrt
(Goethe-Institut),
ebenfalls 2012 ,,in
between VI fur Sho und
Sheng in Tokyo und 2013
,,Mirror and Circle fur
Pipa, Cello und
chinesisches Orchester in
Taipeh/Taiwan
(Auftragswerk der
taiwanesischen
Regierung). Mit der
chinesischen
Pipa-Virtuosin Ya Dong
arbeite ich seit 2000
zusammen und habe fur sie
mehrfach komponiert
(Urauffuhrungen u.a. in
Hannover/EXPO 2000,
Rottweil 2001, Taipeh
2013, Magdeburg 2016).
Auch mit Christian Wetzel
arbeite ich seit uber 20
Jahren zusammen und habe
ebenfalls haufig fur ihn
komponiert (UA u.a. in
Bonn 1999, Hannover/EXPO
2000, Rottweil 2001,
Darmstadt 2004 und
etliche weitere
Projekte).
Jedes
dieser drei Rituale hat
eine Lange von ca. 6-7
Minuten und stellt
unterschiedliche
Qualitaten und
Besonderheiten der beiden
Soloinstrumente heraus,
immer in Verbindung mit
der Interaktion zwischen
Soli und Orchester. Die
Besetzung war fur mich
ausserst reizvoll, da
beide Instrumente in
dieser Kombination noch
nie so erklungen sind.
Die Pipa ist ein ungemein
modernes und
ungewohnliches
Instrument, reich an
Farben und vor allem an
perkussiven Effekten. Das
Tonmaterial wurde zum
grossten Teil aus den
Namen der beiden Solisten
gewonnen und ergibt
interessanter zwei
gespiegelte
Viertonmotive. In der
asiatischen Kultur
spielen der Spiegel und
der Kreis eine wichtige
Rolle, und so werden die
Tone, Rhythmen und Formen
eingewoben in diese drei
Rituale, welche am Ende
des dritten Satzes wieder
kreisformig an den Anfang
des ersten Rituals
anknupfen. Ein von den
Streichern und der Pauke
erzeugtes Gerausch,
verbunden mit dem
Rhythmus der grossen
Trommel, welcher einen
Herzschlag symbolisieren
soll. Die drei Untertitel
der Rituale Himmel, Erde
und (atmospharischer)
Raum spielen im vedischen
und chinesischen Denken
eine grosse Rolle und war
fur mich beim Komponieren
ebenfalls eine sehr
starke
Inspirationsquelle. In
vielen meiner
Kompositionen gibt es
Raumeffekte, Annaherungen
an das Publikum, das
Verschieben von
Perspektiven, die
Dekonstruktion und das
Hinterfragen der ublichen
Konzertsituation, so u.a
in meinem Beuys-Zyklus
oder in den Zyklen ,,CUT
und ,,in between.
In ARKA geht
es mir besonders um die
Interaktion zwischen
westlichem und ostlichem
Denken, um das
gegenseitige Durchdringen
dieser auf den ersten
Blick so
unterschiedlichen Denk-
und Lebensweisen, um eine
Verschmelzung scheinbarer
Gegensatze - um
Annaherung!

AGNI is the
Hindu god of fire; the
elemental and
transformative force
inherent in
everything:
Every
flame, every fire, every
light, every warmth is
AGNI.
AGNI is
omnipresent, establishing
everything and ending
everything.
AGNI is
often depicted with seven
tongues which represent
different aspects of his
being.
These
include: creating,
sustaining, cleansing,
purifying, priestly,
martial, devastating,
destructive, and
consuming.
Derived
from Franke's concerto of
the same name, this solo
work for bass clarinet
compositionally traces
the transformative
processes initiated by
the divine fire. The solo
takes seven pieces from
the concerto, presenting
vivid character pieces
exploring the creative
possibilities and wide
tonal range offered by
the bass
clarinet.
This
version of AGNI
for bass clarinet solo
was premiered on 4
December 2020 in Leipzig
by Volker Hemken, the
principal bass
clarinetist of the
Gewandhausorchester
Leipzig. EP14437a
convinces with its
excellent and clear
notation, making the
piece a new standard for
bass clarinet.

Based on a traditional
Scottish/Irish 'farewell'
song, this short piece is
one of six works written
to express my love of
Scotland. After living
there for nearly half my
life, and raising a
family, I moved back to
England in 2018, and
remarried in 2019.
Of course, there were
many different emotions
attached to the move
south: especially the joy
and excitement of new
beginnings, and
reconnection with friends
from my youth.
But this piece
expresses the wrench I
experienced after a last
family meal in Glasgow,
and the realisation of
all I was about to leave
behind.
I have
taken the melody of the
original song, and
expanded it, exploring
the detail of its
patterns, so that it
becomes a timeless
meditation.
The
six pieces in the
'farewell' series are for
6 violas, string quintet,
string quartet, trio,
violin and clarinet duo,
and solo clarinet.
The Parting Glass
was composed in 2020
during the coronavirus
lockdown, which
intensified the feeling
of separation from my
Scottish family, as well
as from other musicians.
It was
commissioned by Vittorio
Ceccanti for the
ContempoArtEnsemble.

Maple arose
from a commission to
write a work for solo
cello, to be performed
alongside readings from
artist John Newling's
collection of letters
entitled 'Dear Nature'; a
poetic manifestation of
our relationship with the
natural world.
The
piece is in eight short
sections, to be
interspersed with
readings of groups of the
poems. It may also be
performed as a single
movement. It begins with
a seed - the seed of a
maple tree, as it hangs
on the mature tree, ready
to drop. The seeds are
like propellers,
sometimes travelling more
than a mile before
landing on the ground.
Maple follows
the growth of the tree to
maturity - which in
reality would take at
least a hundred years.
'Roots, shoots' grows
downwards and upwards
from a pedal note, and
the dance-like 'Flowers'
is followed by the
stately 'Tree', and then
the warm, cascading
'Autumn'. Maple is very
often the wood of choice
for the back of a
stringed instrument, and
the last section uses
open strings to explore
the full resonance of the
cello.
The piece
starts with a 'seed' of
only five notes, which
grows into different
configurations. It is
intended to be played in
an improvisatory
style.
Maple was
co-commissioned by
Brighton Festival, Ars et
Terra Festival with SACEM
and Ditchling Arts and
Crafts Museum, to be
performed by Margarita
Balanas as part of the
Brighton Festival's 'Dear
Nature' project.

Origins of the
Tarantella The tarantella
is a popular southern
Italian dance with
origins in the 11th
century. (There is even
some mention of the
tarantella in ancient
Greek mythology.) Of the
possible sources of the
dance, the most popular
comes from the villages
of Tanto and Tarentum
(little spider), Italy.
During harvest, workers
in the field were
sometimes bitten by the
tarantula spider. To
combat the poison, the
afflicted workers went
into a frenetic, almost
musical exorcism to sweat
the venom out of their
pores. In the millennium
since, the very energetic
nature of the dance has
remained, although the
curative focus of the
dance has given way to
more enjoyable endeavors,
even stately courtship.
Origins of the Text
Christopher Smart
(1722-1771), also known
as Kit Smart or Jack
Smart, was born in Kent,
England and suffered from
what is now believed to
be acute asthma and other
health issues as a child.
As such, he did not work
in the fields, but spent
much time reading and
writing, a passion that
he nurtured for a
lifetime. Well known in
London literary circles,
his career as a writer
floundered due to
mounting debts and his
falling out of favor with
the literary
establishment: Sadly, he
was forced to confinement
at St. Luke's Hospital
for Lunatics, though this
was based on his mounting
debt, and not on
insanity. (Confinement,
or debtor's prison, was
common during this period
if one's debts could not
be paid.) During his
confinement, he worked on
two of his most famous
works, Jubilate Agno and
A Song of David. (Part of
Jubilate Agno [Rejoice in
the Lamb] was set to
music by English
composer, Benjamin
Britten.) Smart's writing
style (which, at times,
bordered on the absurd),
along with his many
obsessions, lead to
frequent misperceptions
of his work and his
lucidity. In this present
work, portions of Smart's
Jubilate Agno were used
in mm. 24-31, 103-110 and
149-156. The remaining
text was gathered by the
composer, including the
rapid, almost
patter-like, delivery of
words from A-Z in the
alphabet. (Christopher
Smart had a preoccupation
with the alphabet.) These
words both rhyme and
accentuate the frenetic
nature of the spider
dance: theraphosa
[teh-rah-fo-sa] a genus
of tarantula spiders
bellicose
[beh-lee-ko-sah] hostile;
aggressive odiosa
[o-dee-o-sa] hateful;
vexation tenebrosa
[teh-neh-bro-sa]
creeping; dark nemorosa
[neh-mo-ro-sa] wooded;
shady lapidosa
[lah-pee-do-sa] stony
area; gritty The
convergence, then, of the
medieval tarantella
(spider dance), the
writings of a brilliant
poet who bordered on the
absurd, and the infusion
of strong, descriptive
and otherwise random,
rhyming words,
synthesizes to make
dramatic lyrics for this
work. About the Composer
Z. Randall Stroope is an
American composer and
conductor. He has served
as Professor of Music at
three universities (an
Endowed Professor at
two), conducted 47
all-state choirs, and
directed over 40 times at
Carnegie Hall, among
other American venues.
Randall guest conducts
full-time, and composes
from his home studios on
Merritt Island, Florida
and in Sandia Park, New
Mexico. Performance Notes
Text: In Latin, the r is
flipped; use s instead of
z on endings such as
phosa, cosa, and so on;
the Latin o is a cross
between oh and aw; in the
transliteration above, I
chose to simply use an o
for consistency. The
director will blend the
oh and aw in the
rehearsals to his/her own
preference. Lastly,
tarantula is pronounced
tah-rah-n-too-lah (avoid
teh-ran-choo-luh) within
the confines of this
text. Stomp: This can be
done by the entire
chorus, or just the first
row. It is as much visual
as it is auditory. The
string quartet is
preferred over piano when
that option affords
itself. I created a piano
score that is a viable
option and included it in
the piano/vocal score if
a performance uses
chorus/piano. The

Vistas. My second
string quartet,
“Vistasâ€, is
a work cast in a
traditional four-movement
formal mold, with the
outer movements,
presenting and later
returning to the
work’s principal
musical materials,
surrounding a slow
movement and a
scherzo-type third
movement.While the four
movements’
“properâ€
names -- Maestoso con
forza, Lento, Scherzo
impetuoso, and
Introduzione; Maestoso e
grande – give some
indication of the general
character of the
individual movements, I
have also subtitled, less
formally, each movement
as follows:Â 1)
Concentric:Â from the
inside out 2)Â
Stasis 3) FlashesÂ
4) Vista. The images
evoked by these titles
tell one, I think, a bit
more about the inner
workings of the
quartet.In the first
movement, a prominently
presented opening pitch
(E) reveals itself, as
the movement unfolds, to
be a center of gravity
from which ever-growing
cycles of activity
gradually evolve.Â
While various important
themes come into being as
the movement progresses,
their impact on the
listener has, I believe,
a great deal to do with
their juxtaposition and
relationship to the
initial central point of
gravity.Stasis is, as the
name implies, a movement
where activity seems, at
times, almost
suspended. Being
also, as Webster’s
Dictionary reminds us,
“a state of static
balance and equilibrium
among opposing tendencies
or forces,†it
develops various
materials, including ones
from the first movement,
without bringing them to
points of
resolution.Flashes is
short and very fast,
evoking in my mind the
quick shimmer of
fireflies, a
“sudden burst of
lightâ€, but also a
“brief
timeâ€. Perhaps,
even, a
“smile�Final
ly, the last movement,
Vista, is not only
“a view or
outlookâ€, but also
“a comprehensive
mental view of a series
of remembered or
anticipated
events.â€Â After
a brief recall of the
opening of the second
movement, this movement
brings back all the
important themes of the
first movement in their
original order. But
just as going back can
never really mean going
back in time, the
movement is much more
than recapitulatory.Â
By cutting through
previously transitory
passages and presenting
the main ideas in a
fashion more direct yet
more evolved, it also
sheds new light on
earlier events, offering
a retrospective, synoptic
view of the first
movement as it brings to
culmination the work as a
whole. “Vistasâ

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

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

No matter the
occasion, string quartets
are always in demand.
Music for
Celebrations features
eight works by composers
ranging from Marc-Antoine
Charpentier to Charles
Gounod which rank among
the most popular wedding
classics, with many of
the pieces also well
suited for other
occasions. The arranger
Anthony Gröger has
succeeded in transforming
the works, some of which
originally had extensive
instrumentation, into
compelling string quartet
arrangements that are
also easy to play while
preserving much of the
familiar character of the
originals. The third
violin part, which can
replace the viola part if
no violist is available,
is an added
bonus.
Er is
altijd vraag naar
strijkkwartetten voor
diverse feestelijke
gelegenheden. Music
for Celebrations
bevat acht werken van
verschillende bekende
componisten, van
Marc-Antoine Charpentier
tot Charles Gounod, die
behoren tot de meest
geliefde klassiekers voor
bruiloften, maar veelal
eveneens geschikt zijn
voor andere gelegenheden.
Arrangeur Anthony
Gröger is erin
geslaagd de stukken
waarvan sommige
oorspronkelijk voor een
omvangrijke
instrumentatie zijn
geschreven te
transformeren tot
overtuigende, goed
speelbare muziek voor
strijkkwartetbezetting,
waarin het vertrouwde
klankbeeld grotendeels
behouden is gebleven. Een
handig extraatje is de
toegevoegde
derdevioolpartij, die de
altvioolpartij kan
vervangen als er geen
altviolist beschikbaar
is.
Bei
festlichen Anlässen
diverser Art sind
Streichquartette immer
wieder gefragt. In
Music for
Celebrations sind
acht Kompositionen von
Marc-Antoine Charpentier
bis Charles Gounod
versammelt, die besonders
auf Hochzeitsfeiern zu
den beliebtesten
Klassikern zählen,
wobei viele der Stücke
sich auch für andere
Gelegenheiten bestens
eignen. Dem Arrangeur
Anthony Gröger ist es
gelungen, die teilweise
umfangreich besetzten
Originalwerke in
überzeugende, gut
spielbare
Streichquartettsätze
zu verwandeln und dabei
viel vom vertrauten
Klangbild zu bewahren.
Ein Bonbon ist die
zusätzlich beiliegende
dritte Violinstimme, die
anstelle der
Bratschenstimme genutzt
werdenkann, falls kein
Bratschist zur
Verfügung steht.
