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.

Phaedra by
German composer Hans
Werner Henze is a
'concert opera' in two
acts whose first
performance was given at
the Berlin State Opera in
2007. Phaedra was Henze
's penultimate opera, and
this item presents the
full score, with the
entire work lasting
around 75 minutes.
Featuring a unique
libretto by Christian
Lehnert and sound effects
by Francesco Antonioni,
this opera presents the
wonderful story of
Phaedra, filled with
drama and fantastic
music. This Full Score
presents the work
in German and English
language, and features
detailed instructions for
the supplied CD, on which
some sound effects are
included that are to be
used in conjunction with
the instruments.
Phaedrawas
co-commissioned and
co-produced by Staatsoper
Unter den Linden Berlin,
Berliner Festspiele,
Theatre de la Monnaie
Brussels, Alte Oper
Frankfurt and Wiener
Festwochen. Hans Werner
Henze was a hugely
prolific composer who
drew influences from a
wide number of sources.
Phaedra is regarded as
among his greatest works
and would certainly make
for a stunning
performance.

Mic
hael Nyman's
Musique A Grande
Vitesse
(MGV)
translates as ‘high
speed music’ and
was commissioned by the
Festival de Lille for the
inauguration of the TGV
North EuropeanParis-Lille
line in 1993.
This
piece of sheet music runs
continuously, but was
conceived as an abstract,
imaginary journey; or
rather five
inter-connected journeys,
each ending with a slow,
mainly stepwise melody
which isonly heard in its
'genuine' form when the
piece reaches its
destination.
Thematic
'transformation' is a key
to MGV
as a whole. Throughout
the piece ideas -
rhythmic, melodic,
harmonic, motivic,
textural -constantly
change their identity as
they pass through
different musical
'environments'.
The opening bars
establish both a
recurrent rhythmic
principle - 9, 11, or
13-beat rhythmic cycles
heard against a regular 8
- and aharmonic process -
chord sequences (mainly
over C and E) which have
the note E in common.
(Coincidentally,
MGV
begins in C and ends in
E). A later scalic,
syncopated figure (again
first heard over C, E and
A)begins the second
section, featuring Brass,
in D flat.
The
topography of
MGV
should be experienced
without reference to
planning, description or
timetables. Its tempo
changes and unpredictable
slowings downbear no
logical relation to the
high speed of the
Paris-Lille journey,
while the temptation to
treat
MGV as a
concerto grosso, with the
Michael Nyman
band as the ripeno, was
resisted: more suitably
theband (amplified in
live performance) lays
down the tracks on which
MGV
runs.

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.

“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.

Miniature
Score. This work was
commissioned by the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra.
It was first performed on
13th May 1998 London.
This piece is based on a
genuine old tune
'Maxwell's Strathspey'
which the composer found
in an 1824 collection of
Scottish melodies, and
which unfolds at the
start of the piece on
solo cello. Variations
and a bold up-tempo to
the quick dance we know
as a reel ultimately
yield to the magic that
has been promised right
at the start: the
northern lights take over
at the end of the piece.
Its inspiration comes
from a walk to a
community event in Hoy
Hall, during which Davies
saw the lights in the sky
pulsing in and out of
time with the sounds
coming from the hall.
Duration 12 minutes.
Conductor's score and
orchestral parts are
available on hire.

Commissione
d by the first Sibelius
Conductor's Competition
held in Helsinki in May
1995, as an obligatory
piece to be rehearsed by
all the competitors,
Arena was performed in
its totality at the
annual Avanti! Chamber
Orchestra's festival in
Porvoo (Finland).
Thematic thinking has
never been a main feature
in Lindberg's music, but
here horizontal lines
(one would not yet dare
to call them melodies)
gain some independence,
for example in ornamental
figures and in the
intense cello solo around
the middle of the piece.
Arena also reveals some
clearly new material -
Lindberg has talked about
Beethoven-like formal
thinking, referring to a
passage where the sense
of movement seems to
accelerate to an extreme
so that finally one
perceives only a
motionless surface.
Another new element -
which was already used to
some extent at the warmly
hovering ending of Aura -
is the almost romantic
sound world and the
suspension of the
harmonies in the final
climax, which can make
one think of Mahler and
Berg, or Lindberg's grand
predecessor and
compatriot, Sibelius.

the pieces is

Fuego Fatuo has
an interesting history.
Manuel De Falla
(1876-1946), often
regarded as the greatest
Spanish composer of the
20th century, wanted to
write an opera based
around themes from
Chopin, whomhe greatly
admired. The stage work
was never finished;
however, several attempts
have been made to arrange
the work for orchestra,
most successfully by the
Catalan conductor
Antoni
Ros-Marba.
Des
pite its history,this
orchestral suite is far
from being a mere
mish-mash of Chopin
melodies; it is more of a
meditation on Chopin's
work in general, with the
focus on the harmonic and
textural elements which
De Falla drew
from his work.It forms a
fascinating insight into
the mind of a great
musician.

The
original version of this
work, scored for chamber
orchestra, was written in
1950 in response to a
commission from Warsaw
Radio. In the following
year the composer revised
and slightly extended the
work and rescored it for
symphony orchestra. The
first performance was
given by the Warsaw Radio
Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Grzegorz
Fitelberg, in Warsaw in
April 1951. The work uses
folk melodies from the
village of Machow in the
region of Rzeszow, east
of Cracow. Duration c.11

Love from a
Stranger was a 'thriller'
starring Ann Harding and
Basil Rathbone, based on
an Agatha Christie short
story, Philomel Cottage.
As well as Britten's
score, the film also
included excerpts from
Grieg's Peer Gynt music,
and a contemporary dance
band. Not all of the
present score was used -
No. 3, Brighton, was
omitted and cuts were
made in nos. 5 and 6. In
the latter, a savage cut
deleted the references to
the music of the other
numbers in bars 13-20,
including the trombone's
scale, which alludes to a
scene in which a child
practices the piano
unseen. Britten was not
happy with the way his
music was used, and this
was to remain his only
work for the commercial
cinema composed in
1936.
