The
violin concerto is
commissioned by Friends
of Dresden Music
Foundation for American
soloist Mira Wang and the
New York Philharmonic and
Staatskapelle Dresden as
an American commemoration
of the reconstruction of
the Dresden Frauenkirche,
60 years after its
destruction in World War
II by American and
British Forces. The world
premiere is given at the
Semperoper in Dresden,
Germany, on October 9, 10
& 11, 2005, conducted
by Ivan Fischer. Full of
excitement and inner
power, the musical image
is vivid, energetic,
sometimes lyrical and
sometimes dramatic. The
major angular thematic
material (a three note
motive) consists of big
leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minor seventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for the cadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments. The musical
imagination of the violin
concerto came from an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title, written
by Du Fu (712-770) in
Tang Dynasty. Happy Rain
on a Spring Night by Du
Fu (712-770 in Tang
Dynasty) Happy rain comes
in time, When spring is
in its prime. With night
breeze it will fall, And
quietly moisten all.
Clouds darken wild roads,
Light brightens a little
boat. Saturated at dawn,
With flowers blooming the
town. (English
translation by Chen Yi
from the original poem in
Chinese) The following is
the poem in its original
Chinese form, and the
detailed introduction on
the structural plan of
the violin concerto
Spring in Dresden. It's
like the welcome rain on
a quiet spring night that
nurtures the budding
seeds, our new society is
pushing us forward to the
new future. The music
reflects the scenes and
the expression according
to the meaning of the
poem when it's being
unfolded line by line.
Although the tempo is set
63 quarter notes per
minute throughout (played
vividly, never slow
down), the tension is
being built up from the
quiet background in the
beginning, to the
sustained climax towards
the end. The musical
image in Rehearsal A and
B (measures 39-80)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
wind instruments response
to the rustling of fast
moving notes on muted
string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokes produced by
metallic string sound and
high woodwind gestures.
The music in Rehearsal C
and D (measures 81-126)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a little light
in the boat is shimmering
on the lake... The
breathy sound and key
slaps on the flutes
create a mysterious
atmosphere, in a dialogue
with other instruments.
The cello glissandi
recite the poem in the
tone of Mandarin, echoed
by the string harmonics.
The music in Rehearsal F,
G and H (m 129-202) is a
toccata, starting in the
orchestra (led by the
marimba), which builds up
a big shape, to reach the
climax in m. 157
(Rehearsal G, the
location of the Golden
Section, according to the
length of the music
without cadenzas), and
keeps the vivid scene
towards the coda (from
Rehearsal I, m. 203),
which stands on the
energetic peak until the
clear cutoff on measure
239, followed by the
short, yet powerful solo
conclusion with the
lingering echo produced
by the high string
harmonics. On the top,
there is a recall of the
three note motive in the
sound of wonderland,
touched by the motor-on
vibraphone meaningfully.
The music is written for
2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2
clarinets (in Bb), 2
bassoons, 4 French horns
(in F), 2 trumpets (in
Bb), 3 trombones, tuba,
harp, 3 percussion
players (Perc. 1:
xylophone; Perc. 2:
suspended cymbal,
Japanese high woodblock,
snare drum, bass drum and
vibraphone; Perc. 3:
marimba and tam-tam),
solo violin, and strings.

vibraphone; Perc. 3:
marimba and tam-tam),
solo violin, and strings.
Duration is about 20
minutes. The violin
concerto is commissioned
by Friends of Dresden
Music Foundation for
American soloist Mira
Wang and the New York
Philharmonic and
Staatskapelle Dresden as
an American commemoration
of the reconstruction of
the Dresden Frauenkirche,
60 years after its
destruction in World War
II by American and
British Forces. The world
premiere is given at the
Semperoper in Dresden,
Germany, on October 9, 10
& 11, 2005, conducted by
Ivan Fischer.Full of
excitement and inner
power, the musical image
is vivid, energetic,
sometimeslyrical and
sometimes dramatic. The
major angular thematic
material (a three
notemotive) consists of
big leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minorseventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for thecadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments.The musical
imagination of the violin
concerto came from an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title, written
by Du Fu (712-770) in
Tang Dynasty.Happy Rain
on a Spring Nightby Du Fu
(712-770 in Tang
Dynasty)Happy rain comes
in time,When spring is in
its prime.With night
breeze it will fall,And
quietly moisten
all.Clouds darken wild
roads,Light brightens a
little boat.Saturated at
dawn,With flowers
blooming the
town.(English translation
by Chen Yi from the
original poem in
Chinese)The following is
the poem in its original
Chinese form, and the
detailed introduction
onthe structural plan of
the violin concerto
Spring in
Dresden.It’s like
the welcome rain on a
quiet spring night that
nurtures the budding
seeds, our newsociety is
pushing us forward to the
new future. The music
reflects the scenes and
theexpression according
to the meaning of the
poem when it’s
being unfolded line by
line.Although the tempo
is set 63 quarter notes
per minute throughout
(played vividly,
neverslow down), the
tension is being built up
from the quiet background
in the beginning, tothe
sustained climax towards
the end. The musical
image in Rehearsal A and
B (measures39-80)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
wind instruments response
to therustling of fast
moving notes on muted
string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokesproduced by
metallic string sound and
high woodwind gestures.
The music in RehearsalC
and D (measures 81-126)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a littlelight in
the boat is shimmering on
the lake... The breathy
sound and key slaps on
theflutes create a
mysterious atmosphere, in
a dialogue with other
instruments. The
celloglissandi recite the
poem in the tone of
Mandarin, echoed by the
string harmonics.
Themusic in Rehearsal F,
G and H (m 129-202) is a
toccata, starting in the
orchestra (led bythe
marimba), which builds up
a big shape, to reach the
climax in m. 157
(Rehearsal G,the location
of the Golden Section,
according to the length
of the music
withoutcadenzas), and
keeps the vivid scene
towards the coda (from
Rehearsal I, m. 203),
whichstands on the
energetic peak until the
clear cutoff on measure
239, followed by the
short,yet powerful solo
conclusion with the
lingering echo produced
by the high
stringharmonics. On the
top, there is a recall of
the three note motive in
the sound ofwonderland,
touched by the motor-on
vibraphone
meaningfully.The music is
written for 2 flutes, 2
oboes, 2 clarinets (in
Bb), 2 bassoons, 4 French
horns (in F), 2 trumpets
(in Bb), 3 trombones,
tuba, harp, 3 percussion
players (Perc.
1:xylophone; Perc. 2:
suspended cymbal,
Japanese high woodblock,
snare drum, bass drum and
vibraphone; Perc. 3:
marimba and tam-tam),
solo violin, and
strings.Duration is about
20 minutes.

BACH TO THE FUTUREFor
many years I have been
specially fascinated by
three of the preludes of
Bach's Well-tempered
Piano, and I wish with
this concerto-version for
percussion-duo and
orchestra to highlight
some of the structural
aspects of these pieces:
It is my belief that
there is a tradition in
the music history, that
makes it possible to let
certain germs in an
earlier period unfold
into new, but not
heterogenious, dimensions
of a perhaps several
hundred years later phase
of the tradition.This
concerto is a result of
several years
collaboration with Uffe
Savery and Morten Friis
(Safri-Duo), as well in
original compositions -
(Resonances,
Repercussion, Resume in
EchoZone I-III) as in
arrangements of the 3
Bach preludes, preparing
for the enormous
stylistic challenges of
this work.A few
introductory comments to
each movement:I Movement:
The archetypal sequence
of broken chords within
C-major has established
itself as almost a
cultural code, allowing
the composer of 1996 to
tell his tale-in-tones
only by stressing and
colouring the tones in
the original piece
without changing the
pitches or (relative)
durations as a
'palimpsest' containing
as well the old as the
new musical tale
simultaneously. Later in
the movement, this
singleline is multiplied
by the, till then
discrete, but permanently
pervading, proportion -
throughout the piece -
very close to the 'Golden
Section'(= 3:5:8.t.i:8
before repetition, 5
before starting anew from
the deepest tone, 3 as
the rest etc. unchanged).
The 3 tonal levels as
well as the 3 relative
speeds are treated
according to these
proportions for certain
passages, but even in
those the main focal
point is directed at the
freely invented melody
(by me) incarnating
itself solely by the
unpermutad sequels of the
original prelude.II
Movement: One feature of
the F sharp-prelude
pervades all the six
minutes-long second
movement: A 4 times
identical rhythmic
pattern = 6:4:3:2:3:4:6 -
as an hourglass-shaped
timeshape - inspired me
by the closeness of this
pattern to a shape within
the infinity-drumming of
my invention, called
Wide-Fan and Narrow-Fan ,
referring to pattern
consisting of
8:4:2:1:2:4:8, the
familiarity with the
above - quoted one being
obvious. New and old
elaborations of this
pattern-pair permeates
the movement, especially
since the Safri-Duo by
their performance of my
Repercussion had
augmented my appetite for
including this idiom in a
wider context:III
Movement: Without the
existence of the
d-minor-prelude I doubt
that I would have dared
to write a work like
this, since it is the
inexhaustible, rare
quality and pecularity of
this piece, which has
stimulated my feeling of
wonder and 'modernity'
(or: eternity!) of this
piece, of which I know of
no equal in its special
respect: the perpetual
ambiguity of melodic
foothold in the rhythmic
ostinato of a broken
descending triad, co.

Ich
steh mit einem Fuss im
Grabe (I stand with my
open grave before me) BWV
156 is one of the few
surviving cantatas of
Johann Sebastian Bach
that is based on texts
from the so-called
Picander cycle. As in
several other cantatas
that use texts from this
poet, Bach opens the work
with a sinfonia, most
likely taken from an
earlier concerto that
didn't survive and is
later reused as the slow
movement of the famous
harpsichord concerto in F
minor BWV 1056. In the
first aria, the poet
combines his text with a
well-known chorale, a
technique that is often
found in Bach's cantatas,
particularly those from
the pre-Leipzig period.
The cantata is comprised
of six short movements;
the choir is used only in
the final chorale. Score
