Stra
uss's first tone poem
distinguishes itself from
all other subsequent
orchestral compositions
in its existence in three
different versions. Even
among the operas and
other compositions in his
hand there is no other
work with a comparable
history of origin and
publication. What is
more, the final version
of Macbeth is the only
valid form of the work
and the only variant with
further sources (cf.
Critical Report) in
addition to the autograph
score. In contrast, the
second version has only
been preserved in an
autograph score and
autograph piano reduction
(the orchestral parts
which must have existed
have obviously not
survived). This was never
printed and was replaced
by the published third
version. The two
surviving versions should
therefore not be
considered to be of equal
status. Unlike the case
of Ariadne auf Naxos in
which the earlier version
was for a time the sole
valid alternative and was
yet never completely
displaced by the soon
dominating later version
of the opera, only the
final third version of
Macbeth is considered as
valid. Right from the
outset, it was a matter
of course for the editors
of the present volume to
include the second
version as a first
publication (in addition
to the above-mentioned
surviving pages of the
first version), albeit in
different forms. The
surviving pages of the
first version are
reproduced in facsimile
and the second version,
as a subordinate form of
the work, appears
alongside Strauss's piano
reduction in a modified
source edition, i.e.
without intervention on
the part of the editors.
The ultimate third
version is published as a
full edition (please
refer to the Critical
Report for further
details). In order to
facilitate a comparative
study of the second and
third versions, the
relevant page numbers of
the score are placed
opposite one another (the
autograph piano reduction
of the second version is
included at the end of
the music section of the
volume). The editors hope
that this synoptic
representation will
prompt interest in
further studies on
Strauss's art of
orchestration: a field of
research which has still
remained insufficiently
examined. A study of
Macbeth namely
illuminates as clearly as
could be wished how much
significance Strauss
allotted to sound
alongside form. The
subjects were not merely
intended to generate an
individual figure, but
also specific tonal
colours, and the
instrumentation was
simultaneously designed
to provide an optimal
communication of
thematic-motivic texture
to the audience. The 'new
path' threw up
consequences which caused
Strauss a considerable
amount of difficulty. He
was however a fast
learner and had already
swum free with Don Juan
and all the more with Tod
und Verklarung.

Lilb
urn's A Song of Islands
(1946) is an essential
work to study in the
history of New Zealand
orchestral music. This
early work is a fine
example of how Lilburn
directly intended to
capture the essence of
New Zealand as a whole.
Central to this work is a
chorale-like theme that
develops through an
arch-like form. This
critical edition is the
first computer-engraved
publication of the work,
and is the third of four
volumes published in
celebration of the
centenary of Lilburn's
birth in 1915.Douglas
Lilburn occupies a
pre-eminent position in
New Zealand music, with a
legacy extending well
beyond his compositional
output. As a composer,
teacher and mentor he
presided in innumerable
ways over the artistic
growth of New Zealand
from 1940 onwards. From
the early works redolent
of the influence of
Sibelius and Vaughan
Williams, to the
electro-acoustic pieces
of his later years, his
works have been
instrumental in
establishing a genuine
vernacular in New Zealand
classical music.

Conte
xtures: Riots -Decade '60
was commissioned by Zubin
Mehta and the Southern
California Symphony
Association after the
successful premiere of
the Concerto for Four
Percussion Soloists and
Orchestra. It was written
during the spring and
summer months of 1967.
Riots stemming from
resentment against the
racial situation in the
United States and the war
in Vietnam were occurring
throughout the country
and inevitably invaded
the composer's creative
subconscious.
Contextures, as the title
implies, was intended to
exploit various and
varying textures. As the
work progressed the
correspondence between
the fabric of music and
the fabric of society
became apparent and the
allegory grew in
significance. So I found
myself translating social
aspects into musical
techniques. Social
stratification became a
polymetric situation
where disparate groups
function together. The
conflict between the
forces of expansion and
the forces of containment
is expressed through and
opposition of tonal
fluidity vs. rigidity.
This is epitomized in the
fourth movement, where
the brass is divided into
two groups - a muted
group, encircled by the
unmuted one, which does
its utmost to keep the
first group within a
restricted pitch area.
The playful jazzy bits
(one between the first
and second movements and
one at the end of the
piece) are simply saying
that somehow in this age
of turmoil and anxiety
ways of having fun are
found even though that
fun may seem
inappropriate. The piece
is in five movements,
with an interlude between
the first and second
movements. It is scored
for a large orchestra,
supplemented by six
groups of percussion,
including newly created
roto-toms (small tunable
drums) and some original
devices, such as muted
gongs and muted
vibraphone. There is also
an offstage jazz quartet:
bass, drums, soprano
saxophone and trumpet.
The first movement begins
with a solo by the first
clarinetist which is
interrupted by
intermittent heckling
from his colleagues
leading to a
configuration of large
disparate elements. The
interlude of solo violin
and snare-drum follows
without pause. The second
movement, Prestissimo, is
a display piece of
virtuosity for the entire
orchestra. The third
movement marks a period
of repose and reflection
and calls for some
expressive solos,
particularly by the horn
and alto saxophone. The
fourth movement opens
with a rather lengthy
oboe solo, which is
threatened by large
blocks of sound from the
orchestra, against an
underlying current of
agitated energy in the
piano and percussion.
This leads to a section
in which large orchestral
forces oppose one
another, ultimately
bringing the work to a
climax, if not to a
denouement. Various
thematic elements are
strewn all over the
orchestra, resulting in
the formation of a
general haze of sound. A
transition leads to the
fifth movement without
pause. The musical haze
is pierced gently by the
offstage jazz group as if
they were attempting to
ignore and even dispel
the gloom, but a legato
bell sound enters and
hovers over both the jazz
group and the orchestra,
the latter making
statements of disquieting
finality. Two films were
conceived to accompany
portions of Contextures.
The first done by Herbert
Kosowar, was a
chemography film
(painting directly into
the film using dyes and
various implements) with
fast clips of riot
photographs. The second
was a film collage made
by photographically
abstracting details from
paintings of Reginald
Pollack. The purpose was
to invoke a non-specific
response - as in music -
but at the same time to
define the subject matter
of the piece. The films
were constructed to
correspond with certain
developments in the piece
and in no way affect the
independence and musical
flow of the piece, having
been made after the piece
was completed.
Contextures: Riots -
Decade '60 is dedicated
to Mehta, the Southern

Association and the Los

the assassination of Dr.

King has been inserted
into he score. All the
music that follows the

with the legato bell

Inspired by
his friend, the composer
Balakirev Tchaikovsky
decided in 1869 to write
an overture to
Shakespeare's drama Romeo
and Juliet. The work was
completed the same year
and received its premiere
soon thereafter, on March
4th, 1870 in Moscow under
the direction of Nikolay
Rubinstein. Following the
performance the composer
worked over the piece
again at Balakirev's
instigation: he wrote a
new introduction and
altered the return and
the end, too. The new
version was first
performed under the baton
of Napravnik in St
Petersburg on February
5th, 1872. By that time
it had become clear that
the composition was
closer to the genre of
symphonic poem than to
that of a theatrical
preludewhich is also
indicated by the
subtitle: 'fantasy
overture'. In the 1880s
Tchaikovsky carried out
further changes in the
score and thus the third
version of Romeo and
Juliet emerged that was
first performed by
Ippolitov-Ivanov as
conductor in Tbilisi on
April 19th, 1886.

Like my
oratorio Novae de
infinito laudes, this
work, too, has been
influenced by the human
world and the scenery of
Rome, indeed, perhaps
even by the greater
hardness of the roman
language compared to that
of Naples. The first four
notes of the subsidiary
theme of the second
movement which appears
for the first time in bar
36 are borrowed from the
song My own, my own from
the second act of my
opera Elegy for Young
Lovers; they appear again
and again in various
forms, even in the second
and third movements.-

Farewell
Tod und Verklarung marks
a turning point in
Richard Strauss's corpus
of tone poems: Even
before the November 1889
premiere of his previous
work Don Juan, Strauss
had finished his third
work in this genre. He
leads the listener with
great clarity through the
dying hour of a person
who had pursued the
highest ideals. The
present Urtext edition
evaluates for the first
time all the corrections
that Strauss made in the
galley proofs of the
work's full score and
parts, correlating these
to the music text. The
preface provides insight
into the genesis and
reception history, while
the detailed Critical
Report systematically
documents all of the
editorial decisions.

A Hymn to the
Thames was commissioned
by James Turnbull and the
Music Director of the St
Paul’s Sinfonia, Andrew
Morley. It was begun in
2019 and completed early
in 2020. There are four
movements played without
a break, which follow the
Thames from its Cotswold
source to the North Sea.
As the first performance
took place in St
ALfege’s Church,
Greenwich, this seemed
appropriate. The solo
oboe represents both a
wanderer along the river
path and the spirit of
the river. The pitch
centres of the movements
spell out the musical
letters of the river
(tHAmES—B natural, A, E
and E flat) so that the
river’s name is
projected across the
whole work. In addition,
the musical letters found
in James Turnbull, Andrew
Morley and my wife,
Teresa Cahill ( who was
born in Maidenhead and
brought up by the river
in Rotherhithe) are
entwined in various
guises. The first
movement grows from the
depths, the soloist
entering with
fanfare-like gestures,
followed by lyrical music
and breaks into a dance
as the river gathers
momentum. The third
movement is slow and
sustained and
geographically the Thames
flows through Oxford. The
music is based on the
well-known In Nomine
‘head motif’ from the
Gloria tibi Trinitas Mass
by the early Tudor
composer, John Taverner,
who was the first
Director of Music at
Christ Church, Oxford.
The orchestra provides a
screen or veil above
which the solo oboe
dreams and ruminates.
This leads directly into
the fourth and final
movement which begins in
the depths once more,
interrupting the oboe’s
held note from the end of
the third movement. The
waters’ increasing
intensity and power are
represented throughout by
a moto perpetuo of quick,
steady semiquavers. Near
the close, the woodwind
play O Nata Lux by Thomas
Tallis, the great Tudor
composer who, with his
wife Joan, is buried in
St Alfege’s. Beneath
this, the lower strings
continue the fast
semiquaver movement of
the river and, above, the
violins are heard as a
halo of harmonics. At the
close, the oboe rises,
opening out to the
future, and celebrating
its voyage, while the
orchestra fades as the
river meets the sea. A
Hymn to the Thames lasts
approximately 17
minutes.

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€.

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.

SYNOPSIS
Aribert Reimann's
'Trilogie lyrique' is
based on three plays by
Maurice Maeterlinck: In
L'Intruse, a family is
sitting at the table with
their blind grandfather.
They are waiting for the
doctor to arrive and tend
to his daughter who is
lying ill in bed after
having given birth: her
new-born son has not yet
made a single sound. The
old man senses that
something is wrong due to
the uneasy atmosphere in
the room. Who is sitting
in our midst? he asks. He
is the only one who
cansee the presence of
death. Interieur: Once
again a family is
gathered round the table
in the evening, but this
time we observe the
action from outside,
looking through the
window with the
grandfather and a
stranger: no sound can be
heard. Outside the house,
the stranger reports that
the eldest daughter has
drowned and that he has
pulled her out of the
river. Although the
corpse is already being
carried through the
village to the family,
the grandfather cannot
bring himself to destroy
this idyll. La Mort de
Tintagiles: The young
Tintagiles is told a
story about a mysterious
castle and the aged queen
who has all potential
heirsto the throne
murdered. His siblings
sense that Tintagiles has
been summoned to the
castle to be murdered,
but nobody openly
expresses this fact. It
is the sinister
messengers of death from
the interludes, now
visible as the queens
servants, who ful?l her
demand and snatch the
sleeping boy from his
sisters'arms. Commentary
'In comparison with his
Medea for example with
its stormy outbreaks of
emotion and violence,
Reimann's score is worked
in an impressive
refinement of sound. It
begins with rumbling,
hesitating and expressive
music in the first
section, demanding highly
ingenious sound effects
from the lower strings
including tapping and
faltering glissandos in
its noisy expression of
mortal fear. Inthe second
part, the woodwind
formation plays at times
almost in chamber music
fashion and is then
suddenly painfully
shrill. The third part
luxuriates and rages in
its rich, full
orchestration. The manner
in which Reimann displays
his mastery in textural
shading, the invention of
sounds welling up and
fading away, the rhythmic
and melodic capacity of
suffering and the music's
inner violence are all
utterly
compelling.'(Wolfgang
Schreiber, Opernwelt,
November 2017).

Sandwiched
between the popular
Symphonies Nos. 7 and 9,
the relatively short
Eighth Symphony finds
itself in a difficult
position even now. Right
after the premiere in
February 1814, one critic
opined that it had made
“no splash.â€
At first glance it makes
recourse to already
outmoded forms and
genres, even reviving a
minuet for the third
movement (in lieu of a
slow movement) after an
Allegretto scherzoso. But
Beethoven engages
intensively with music
history, breaking apart
traditional procedures
and patterns and finding
new, surprising solutions
that make his Eighth a
milestone in symphonic
history. Based on the
musical text of the
Beethoven Complete
Edition and furnished
with a new preface, this
recently prepared edition
reflects the latest in
Beethoven scholarship.
Now,in this study
edition, it is available
to everyone at a
reasonable price and in a
handy format.

I
wrote my First Symphony
while studying in the
United States in 1955,
but the work has since
undergone two substantial
changes. The original
four-movement structure
changed into a
two-movement structure in
1988, with an expansive,
Romantic and pathos-laden
principal movement
followed by a grotesque
and ironic scherzo. This
version seems to owe
something to Dmitri
Shostakovich, one of the
idols of 1950s Modernism
in Finland. Later I found
that the structure was
out of balance, and in
2003 I added a lyrical
slow movement (Poetico)
between the two existing
ones. In order to
preserve the 1950s spirit
of the original work, I
based the slow movement
on solo song written
around the same time
(third movement from the
song cycle Die
Liebenden).

Jacob vs. Angel
is a piece about crisis
of conscience, ambiguity,
and misinterpretation
expressed through the
depiction of a major
battle, the goal of which
is never made entirely
clear. Based on the
biblical story, the work
is highly programmatic,
with each of the six
movements reflecting a
corresponding stanza from
the titular poem by Alice
Weaver Flaherty. The
piece was originally
composed as a vehicle for
virtuoso organist
Heinrich Christensen, and
later orchestrated. The
first movement introduces
the main musical
material--a five note
motive, the intervals of
which are reorganized to
create melodic and
harmonic development
throughout the piece. The
second, third, and fourth
movements depict the
brutal fight between
Jacob and the angel, and
lead one to the next
without pause. The fifth
movement is about the
post-battle scene, and
the final movement is an
epilogue, reframing the
ideas from the previous
movements. The music
elucidates various
actions from the Flaherty
poem—sand
skittering across the
desert, aggressive acts
of violence and
sensuality between the
protagonists, the beating
of wings, feathers
blowing in the wind, etc.
But beyond the music's
more literal elements,
the work is designed to
express an abstract state
of mind, a sense of
unease, and anticipation
of what is yet to come.
