This
publication presents
under one cover various
short works for sundry
orchestral scorings.
Larghetto for Orchestra
is MacMillan's
orchestration (2017) of
his celebrated Miserere
for a cappella mixed
choir (2009), a setting
in Latin of Psalm 51,
'Have mercy upon me, O
God, according to thy
great mercy', the
penitential text famously
set in the 17th century
by Gregorio Allegri. The
Larghetto orchestration
was commissioned by the
Pittsburgh Symphony
Orchestra in celebration
of Manfred Honeck's 10th
Anniversary as Music
Director. Memoire
imperiale is one of a
number of variations on
General John Reids march
tune Old Gaul
commissioned from
Scottish composers to
mark the centenary in
1994 of the Faculty of
Music at Edinburgh
University. The Faculty
was established following
a bequest by General Reid
(1721-1807), a former law
student at the University
and a renowned flute
player and composer of
marches for the
BritishArmy, and he asked
that an annual concert be
organised at which one or
more of his compositions
be played. Composed in
2012 for the Britten
Sinfonia, One is a monody
in which a single line is
passed around the
instruments, painting it
with different colours as
it emerges and develops.
Lasting only a few
minutes, its singularity
is maintained until
blossoming in the lastfew
bars. For Sonny (2011,
orch 2013) and Ein
Lamplein verlosch (2018,
orch 2019) are short,
private memorial tributes
originally for string
quartet and here rescored
for string orchestra.
Hirta was composed in
2016 as part of Deccas
The Lost Songs of St
Kilda project. Nearly a
century ago, the last 36
residents were evacuated
from the most remote part
of the British Isles, St
Kilda, an isolated
archipelago off the
beautiful and rugged
western coast of
Scotland. After 86 years,
the music of St Kilda was
rediscovered, recorded in
a Scottish care home by
Trevor Morrison, an
elderly man who had been
taught piano by an
inhabitant of St Kilda.
The songs were
'reimagined' for the
Decca album by
various.

Symphony
No. 6 for orchestra,
1997-99. Preface /
Program Note:... with the
Lord a day is like a
thousand years, and a
thousand years is like a
day(New Testament, 2
Peter 3:8)My SYMPHONY NO.
6 was commissioned by the
Danish National Radio
Symphony Orchestra, the
Gteborg Symphony
Orchestra and the Oslo
Philharmonic Orchestra,
to be premiered at the
millenium 2000.The
subtitle AT THE END OF
THE DAY can be understood
literally or it can mean
when all is added up.
However, in my opinion,
nothing ever quite adds
up, there is always
something missing, any
ending will be
provisional ...This
symphony appears to end
only a few minutes into
the first movement, the
first passage, as the
music fades away to
almost-silence, after a
start of flying colours.
But then there is still
something, a small motive
(first heard in the
initial sound-waves)
which reappears,
hesitant, but persistent,
and this embryo is what
leads on the musical
progression. An agitated
section of many
instrumental voices comes
next, until all the
voices become obsessed
with the same phrase, a
see-saw motive based on
thirds. This section
evolves into almost
martial ferocity, when
broken off by a tutti
descent into an extreme
bass-world (a bass-world
which actually permeates
the whole symphony,
emplyoing instruments
that I have never used
before: double-bass tuba,
double-bass trombone,
double-bass clarinet, and
bass flute).The second
movement, the second
passage, apparently takes
off where the first
passage ended, but now
the events are more
ambiguous, and the same
music may be perceived as
fast-moving one moment
and slow-moving the next.
This section is a kind of
passacaglia, the
characteristic baroque
bass-variation.Without a
break follows the third
and last passage, in a
contrasting high
register. The music is
rhythmically knotty as
well as freely flowing.
As in the beginning of
the symphony, a
never-ending descent or
fall breaks off the
events, and at the very
end a delta of new
beginnings, of other
worlds, is revealed
....The symphony is
dedicated to Helle, my
wife. - Per Norgard.

Time
is one of the main
factors impacting the
world and our lives.
Einstein saw time as the
relationship of the
motion of one object
relative to the position
of another object, as
measured through
observation. But can we
really measure time
objectively? Music, the
art which moves through
time, can affect our
perception of time, and
can affect each person's
perception of time
differently. Depending on
the emotion it
stimulates, music can
make time seem to pass
quickly or slowly. A
composer can use music to
convey time to an
audience and different
musical ideas can create
different sensations of
time. Absence of Time is
a concerto for woodwind
quartet and orchestra. It
has three main sections
(fast, slow, fast),
recalling traditional
concerto form, but it
does not use the solo
instruments in the
traditional way, i.e., as
soloists in contest with
the orchestra. Inspired
by the idea of
juxtaposing different
experiences of time, I
divided the instruments
into two groups: the four
soloists and the
orchestra. The orchestra
functions mostly as the
keeper of time (real
time) while the quartet
of soloists fluctuates
(in imaginary time or in
the absence of time)
around the orchestra's
time. While the quartet's
instruments do play
solos, they also play in
ensemble with the
orchestra. You could say
that they play in both
imaginary time (as
soloists) and in real
time (with the
orchestra). In addition
to this, the woodwind
section of the orchestra
plays in conversation
with the solo quartet,
calling it back to real
time. Fusion is achieved
at the end of the piece
through the use of
strong, driving rhythm.
Absence of Time was
commissioned by the
Pacific Symphony and was
first performed by the
Pacific Symphony and the
Pacific Symphony Woodwind
Quartet with Carl St.
Clair as conductor on
October 20, 2016.

Leoš
Janácek’s
symphonic fragment Dunaj
(The Danube) dates from
the period of the
composition of
“Katya
Kabanovaâ€. The
composer was not
concerned with a
musical-picturesque
description of a river
landscape, but with the
mythical link between
women’s destinies
and
water.
“Pale
green waves of the
Danube! There are so many
of you, and one followed
by another. You remain
interlocked in a
continuous flow. You
surprise yourselves where
you ended up – on
the Czech shores! Look
back downstream and you
will have an impression
of what you have left
behind in your haste. It
pleases you here. Here I
will rest with my
symphony.†Thus
Leoš Janácek
described the idea behind
the composition project
which occupied him in
1923/24. However, after
further work, it remained
incomplete in 1926. His
“symphonyâ€
entitled Dunaj has
survived as a
continuously-notated,
four-movement bundle of
sketches in score form.
It is one of the works
which occupied him until
his death. The scholarly
reconstruction by the two
Brno composers Miloš
Štedron and Leoš
Faltus closely follows
the original
manuscript.
A
whole conglomeration of
motifs stands behind the
incomplete work. What at
first seems like a
counterpart to
Smetana’s Vltava,
in fact doesn’t
turn out to be a musical
depiction of the Danube.
On the contrary, the
fateful link between the
destiny of women, water
and death permeates the
range of motifs found in
the work. It seems to be
no coincidence that
Janácek, whilst
working on the opera
Katya Kabanova, in which
the Volga, as the river
bringing death plays an
almost mythical role,
planned a Danube
symphony, and that its
content was linked with
the destiny of women: in
the sketches, two poems
were found which may have
provided the stimulus for
several movements of the
symphony. He copied a
poem by Pavla
Kriciková into the
second movement, in which
a girl remarks that
whilst bathing in a pond,
she was observed by a
man. Filled with shame,
the young naked woman
jumps into the water and
drowns. The outer
movements likewise draw
on the poem
“Lola†by the
Czech writer Sonja
Špálová,
published under the
pseudonym Alexander
Insarov. This is about a
prostitute who asks for
her heart’s
desire: she is given a
palace, but then goes on
a long search for it and
is finally no longer
wanted by anyone. She
suffers, feels cold and
just wants a warm fire.
Janácek adds his
remark “she jumps
into the Danube†to
the inconclusive
ending.
To these
tangible literary models
is added Adolf
Veselý’s verbal
account which reports
that the composer wanted
to portray “in the
Danube, the female sex
with all its passions and
driving forcesâ€.
The third movement is
said to characterise the
city of Vienna in the
form of a
woman.
It is
evident that in his
composition, Janácek
was not striving for a
simple, natural lyricism.
The River Danube is
masculine in the Slavic
language –
“ten Dunajâ€
– and assumes an
almost mythical
significance in the
national character,
indeed often also a role
bringing death. The four
movements are motivically
conceived. Elements of
sound painting, small
wave-like figures in the
first movement, motoric,
driving movements in the
third are obvious
evocations of water. And
the content and the
literary level are easy
to discover. The
“tremolo of the
four timpaniâ€,
which was amongst
Janácek’s first
inspirations, appears in
the second movement. It
is not difficult to
retrace in it the fate of
the drowning bather. The
oboe enters lamentoso
towards the end of the
movement over timpani
playing tremolo, its
descending figure is
taken over by the flute,
then upper strings and
intensified considerably.
The motif of drowning
– Lola’s
despair – returns
again in the fourth
movement in the clarinet,
before the work ends
abruptly and
dramatically.
One
special effect is the use
of a soprano voice in the
motor-driven third
movement. The singer
vocalises mainly in
parallel with the solo
oboe, but also in
dialogue with other parts
such as the viola
d’amore, which
Janácek used in
several late works as a
sort of “voice of
loveâ€.

Thi
s edition unites all the
purely instrumental parts
of Rameau’s
comdie-ballet “Les
Paladins†for
performance as a suite in
the concert
hall.
In view of
the wealth of the
work’s musical
treasures and the
stylistic innovations
– similar to the
“Boradesâ€
– the rather
frosty reception of the
premiere series in the
spring of 1760 seems
completely
incomprehensible to us
today. It led to this
stage work not being
performed again until
well into the 20th
century. The story that
the comdie-ballet tells
is based on a fable by La
Fontaine, “Le Petit
chien qui secoue de
l’argent et des
pierreries†(i.e.
“The little dog who
shakes silver and
stonesâ€). In
medieval Veneto, the
guardian Anselme
undermines the love
affairs of his ward
Argies. Scenes of tragic
expression are contrasted
with folk-comic ones; and
last but not least, the
sexually ambiguous fairy
Manto may have caused
difficulties for the bold
work at the Paris
Opra.
This
critical edition is based
on the corresponding
volume issued in the
series “Opera omnia
Rameau†(BA
8870-01). Since
“Les
Paladins†remained
unpublished during
Rameau’s lifetime
and was also not included
in the “Œuvres
complètesâ€, this
is the first edition of
the work. It satisfies
both scholarly demand and
the practical needs of
musicians.
The
orchestral parts are
available on
hire.

'LIST
ENING EARTH' is a
symphonic drama, a one-
movement composition in
four parts based on the
work by two writers,
Joseph Addison
(1672-1719) and W.H.Auden
(1907-1973). Joseph
Addison is not
particularly well known;
he was English, a
classical scholar,
essayist, poet and
politician, but one of
his hymns was used by
Benjamin Britten. in his
setting of a Thomas
Tallis canon. The hymn
is singularly beautiful
and being a composer
always inspired by
extramusical stimuli such
as poems, nature,
paintings, I was
immediately convinced
when I carne across the
Addison hymn, that here
was exactly what I wanted
to use as my major source
of inspiration for this
piece, commissioned by
and written for The
Berlin Philharmonic.
I don't refer to the
hymn in its entirety, but
have chosen the following
3 excerpts, all acting as
mottos for the first
three sections of the
piece, thus turning the
piece into a
straightforward tonepoem
in the classical.

After
completing his studies
with Zoltan Kodaly, the
Hungarian composer
Mathias Seiber
(1905-1960) first worked
as a musician in a dance
orchestra on an ocean
liner which gave him the
opportunity to listen to
jazz music in New York.
From 1928 he taught the
first jazz class
worldwide at Dr. Koch's
Conservatoire in
Frankfurt. In the winter
term of 1928/29, 19
students had registered
with whom he gave a
public concert on 3 March
1929 which was broadcast
by Radio Frankfurt. After
the Nazis had seized
power, the jazz class was
dissolved, Seiber lost
his job and emigrated to
London.In 1932 he wrote
his piano cycle 'Leichte
Tanze' (Easy Dances), one
of the early examples of
the adoption of jazz
forms and styles in
so-called serious music.
The present arrangement
for orchestra is easily
playable and is aimed at
youth and amateur
orchestras.

A
Programmatic Declaration
of BeliefFelix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy
composed his Reformation
Symphony for the
celebrations marking the
300th anniversary of the
Confessio Augustana, the
Protestant declaration of
faith. Owing to various
and only partially
explained reasons, there
was no performance in
1830, the year in
question; it was only two
years later that the
composer conducted the
premiere of his work, now
heavily revised, in
Berlin. There was only
one more performance in
Mendelssohn's lifetime,
this one conducted by
Julius Rietz in
Dusseldorf; the composer
had since distanced
himself from his
opus.Conceived for the
concert hall, the
symphony formulates its
theological references
through the integration
of various motives. This
occurs in the finale, for
example, in which
Mendelssohn quotes the
Luther chorale Ein feste
Burg in the flute, from
where it builds up to a
triumphant principal
theme. The strong
extra-musical aspect must
have been one of the
reasons for the
composer's later
avoidance of this score,
especially since
Mendelssohn was becoming
increasingly skeptical
about explicitly
programmatic music in the
instrumental domain. Next
to the Dusseldorf
performance material of
1837, two scribal copies
have been examined for
the first time; they
transmit the main stages
of the version of
1830.
