Sinfonie (1923-1928). Composed by Leos Janacek. Arranged by Leoš Faltus and Miloš Štedron. This edition: complete edition, urtext edition. Linen. Complete Critical Edition of the Works of Leos Janacek H/3. Complete edition, Score, Set of parts. Duration 40 minutes. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA06861_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA06861).

Leoš Janácek’s symphonic fragment Dunaj (The Danube) dates from the period of the composition of “Katya Kabanova”. 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 “symphony” 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 forces”. 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 Dunaj” – 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 timpani”, 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 love”.

Palle Mikkelborg GOING TO PIECES WITHOUT FALLING APART 2002 for violin, harpe og strygereTilegnet Elise Batnes og Helen DaviesForord l Programnote En solful d morgentur i Melbourne bragte mig forbi en boghandel der specialiserede sig i spiritualbooks, og i vinduet faldt mine ojne pa et citat som ojeblikkeligt ramte mig folelsesmaessigtstaerkt- og jeg folte at jeg havde fundet titlen pa den komposition jeg pa tankeplan allerede vari gang med. Citatet lod:going to pieces ... without falling apartTre temaer og relaterede skalaer, baseret pa henholdsvis Elise Batnes', Helen Davies' og BergenKammerensembles navne, har vaeret afgorende for dele af tonesproget, og forekommer badeielose-up og mere douche i kompositionens syv hovedafsnit. Det barnlige, det enkle, det her-og-nu naive, det umiddelbare, kom til at spille en vigtig rolleunder arbejdet. Ikke fordi selve mit tonesprog er saerligt meget anderledes end ellers (hvordanskulle det ogsa kunne blive det?), men formuleringen: at go to pieces fik mig til at taenke pa atblive som barn pa ny, atter at vaere u-bange, at turde tro pa det enkle.Udover denne- i bedste betydning- enkle inspiration er onsket at kompositionens kurve kanopleves som en mulig meditiations-rejse: i starten en tro pa egen ro, langsomt breder uroensig, og i lystfulde glimt ser man sig selv danse en rituel dans, med andehuller her og der: ogfristelsen til at rive forhaenget vaek og go to pieces, og angsten for maske at miste sig selv undervejs,breder sig. Dog, til sidst erkender man at det var rejsen vaerd, og at man heller ikke denne gangfaldt apart, men kan se frem mod atter at vise livet sin respekt ved spirituelt fuldstaendigt at givesig hen, dog vel vidende at livet merciless & merciful, med kaerlig hand villade diggo to pieces ... without falling apartMen selvklart er mit egentlige onske: at man blot lader musikken leve sit eget ordlose liv - atlytteren har sin egen rejse. Palle Mikkelborg.

New Schubert Edition (Neue Ausgabe samtlicher Werke) Series II, Volume 6. 3 part volumes. Opern, dt. (German Opera). Complete edition, Score. D 732. Duration 2 hours, 30 minutes. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA05540_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA05540).

ISBN 9790006497126. 33 x 26 cm inches. Text: 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.

Three movements, 15:00 total. South Florida Classical Review called Setting Century ...ingeniously crafted. The score is an imaginative essay in orchestral rhythm and color. The initial section Ticking is based on a brief, repeated figure in the violins, like the machinery of a clock. Gradually larger melodic threads emerge. The piano imitates bells over long string lines in Tolling. As the winds and strings branch out to broader, more complex patterns, the overall effect is powerful. Dance-like themes give the entire orchestra a good workout in Streaming. An extended episode for winds exploits the individual instruments’ timbres in striking fashion. ~ Lawrence Budmen. 2(1) 22 2(1); 4231; timp, 2 perc, pno; stgs Duration: 15' Composed: 2004/16 Published by: Distributed Composer Performance materials available on rental only:.
