Quilting,
co-commissioned by the
BBC Symphony Orchestra
and the Los Angeles
Philharmonic, is my first
stand alone work for
orchestraand is loosely
inspired by the American
tradition of quilt
making. I composed
Quilting while living
most of last year in
Paris.During my time
there, I thought a lot
about what it means to
compose symphonic music
as a young American in
the 21st century, when so
many of the many
masterworks which are
programmed year in and
out by orchestras across
the country are European.
I considered which
artistic traditions
defined the American
19th-century. I began to
think of the American
crafts-tradition of
quilting as a foilto the
high-art tradition of
European orchestral
composition. As the score
for my new work began to
take shape, I started
thinking about the
manuscript itself as an
object, its vertical and
horizontal planes create
a kind of patterned
geometry of their own.
Visually the way a
musical score is woven
together like patchwork
brought to mind quilts
and the great American
tradition of quilting. I
imagined about how
conducting an orchestra
can feellike stitching a
piece together, or sewing
together a large number
of musical ideas and
musicians into a coherent
and transcendent whole.
Quilting was an integral
part of American
vernacular in the 18th
and 19th centuries, the
African-American quilting
tradition is especially
fascinating, and the
quilts tell the stories
of the women and
communities who made
them. The names of the
quilt patterns themselves
can have their own sense
of narrative: 'jacobs
ladder', 'drunkards
path', 'solomon's
puzzle', and (my favorite
for its relevance to this
piece) 'the road to
California. - Bryce

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

The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

Franz von
Schober.
In late
September or early
October 1821 Schubert and
his close friend, Franz
von Schober, vacationed
in the countryside of
Lower Austria. Their
first stopover was at
Ochsenburg Castle, which
belonged to the Bishop of
St. Pölten (a close
relative of
Schober’s), after
which they moved on to
St. Pölten itself.
Roughly a year earlier,
two stage works by
Schubert had been
performed in Vienna: the
one-act singspiel Die
Zwillingsbrüder and
the melodrama Die
Zauberharfe. The
librettos were both
written by the seasoned
Viennese playwright Georg
von Hofmann, who blamed
the press for the
indifferent reception the
two works were given by
the audience. Schubert
and Schober now decided,
it would seem, to write a
grand romantic opera
uninfluenced by the
workaday world of the
theatre and beholden
solely to their own ideas
of what an opera should
be.
Not until 24
June 1854 was the opera
finally performed in
Weimar, under the baton
of Franz Liszt. It only
achieved success,
however, in an
arrangement by Johann
Nepomuk Fuchs that was
staged on many German and
Austrian stages in
1881–2, allegedly
with brilliant
acclaim.

The Cello
Concerto is in four main
sections that are played
without a break. As with
most of my work, the
music throughout is
generated from the ideas
presented in the fi rst
few bars, and these ideas
and their variants appear
freely in the different
sections. Recurring
material and references
to earlier sections are
used deliberately to
create not only a sense
of unity but also an
impression of familiarity
that aspires to induce a
dream-like perception of
the passing music, a kind
of spiral. The piece
opens with a slow
introduction that
gradually quickens into
the first main section,
an allegro. The form of
the second section, which
is in a lighter mood, is
based on an early 13th
century verse form, the
Sestina, which consists
of six stanzas of
sixlines each, followed
by an envoi. The words
that end each line in the
first stanza are rotated
in a strictly prescribed
pattern* to give the
line-endings of the
remaining stanzas; in
this adaptation, each
line consists of four
bars, and the repetitions
ensue according to the
plan. The intricate
repetition inherent in
this form can also be
seen as a form of spiral.
The third section is an
extended slow movement
interrupted by a quicker
episode that refers to
the fi rst section.
Generally lighter and in
a similar vein to the
second section, the final
section includes a
reference to the slow
movement before returning
to the lighter music that
ends the piece. This work
is dedicated to Natalie
Clein.

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

“Over
the years my orchestral
music has become simpler
and more expansive.
Clouds of Forgetting,
Clouds of Unknowing
(1991-95) contains four
different musical
textures. In the White
Silence (1998) has three.
For Lou Harrison (2002)
reduces this to just two.
In Dark Waves (2007), I
finally got to one. When
I first heard that piece
I began to wonder if I
could sustain a similar
sound for a longer span
of time. The result is
Become Ocean, a
meditation on the vast,
deep and mysterious tides
of existence. The title
is borrowed from a
mesostic verse that John
Cage wrote in honor of
Lou Harrison's birthday.
Likening Harrison's music
to a river in delta, Cage
writes: Listening to it
we become ocean. Life on
this earth first emerged
from the sea. And as the
polar ice melts and sea
level rises, we humans
find ourselves facing the
prospect that once again
we may quite literally
become ocean.†John
Luther Adams.

Composer's
Note Once, we had a joint
conception to create a
concert telling a life
story. The premiere was
planned to take place on
the Acropolis in Athens.
It was intended to be a
large event, a hybrid of
a mystery play and an
opera. Krzysztof
Kieslowski would be the
director, Krzysztof
Piesiewicz was
responsible for the
script, and I was
planning to compose the
music. We thought it
might be the first of a
series of musical
performances, to be
developed in various
interesting places around
the world in the next few
years. But it was life
that authored a different
ending: Krzysztof
Kieslowski died in March
of 1996. The first part
of Requiem for My Friend
is meant as a farewell to
Krzysztof Kieslowski. I
dedicate this music to
him. Zbigniew
Preisner.
