“'Kal aviuka' is an incarnated figure of the Buddha, the head of which looks human and the lower half like a bird with wings. In my work I would like to express the unity of man and nature, a conception deeply rooted in traditional Chinese art and culture, with a modern awareness. The musical material derives from traditional Chinese instrumental works which have birds as their subjects. In particular, these are passages (neither sung nor melodic) that imitate birdsong or depict the forms of birds by means of various instruments. These musical sections mostly consist of a combination of specially selected musical instruments with special techniques of sound production. My aim in composing this piece was to find out how these sounds could be transferred into an orchestra in order to develop a new musical vocabulary and new means of expression.” (Guoping Jia) The work was commissioned by Munich Biennale 2012 and Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung.

Corona - The Solar Trilogy No. 3 for Orchestra was composed by Poul Ruders in 1995. Programme note: CORONA makes the final part of the SOLAR-TRILOGY, a huge symphonic triptych about the life and behavior of the Sun. The first'panel' GONG depicts the birth, life and final collapse of our nearest star, the second ZENITH describes in its ultra-slow tempo the patient rise of the Sun toward midday ferocity and its subsequent setting. CORONA, then, is a symphonic 'portrait' of the phenomenally hot whispy brim encircling and radiating from the Sun, a sizzling halo of electrons and photons visible only during a total eclipse. Formally CORONA follows the process of such totalityin progress:the gradual eclipsing by the Moon - total darkness with thefierce, sparkling outer corona - the gradual 'rebirth' of the light toward the full gl.ory and warmth of the Sun.Besides the obvious astronomical narrative of the SOLAR-TRILOGY there's a metaphysical angle too, underlying each of the three compositions: GONG, in spite of its apparent energy, may be the most pessimistic of them all, epitomizing the death and ultimate annihilation of the prime source of Life itself. ZENITH is a hommage to human aspiration and spiritual endurance and CORONA ends with Hope and Glory after a journey from depression throughtotal despair. Super-structurally, the zenith of ZENITH makes the zenith of the entire trilogy, i.e. when the E- flat of the unisone horns in ZENITH is heard, we are exactly halfway through the collected work. Poul Ruders.

“Comp osed in 1978 by Henri Dutilleux, Timbres, Space, Movement is a work for Orchestra, also named ?The starry night? after a painting by Van Gogh. It was commisioned by Mstislav Rostropovich for the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington and is dedicated to Charles Münch. This great orchestral work lasts approximately 20 minutes and depicts the content of the painting. It is written for a full orchestra without Violins or Violas. A sketch of the placement of the instruments is given in the book as its disposition differs from a full orchestra: The Cellos placed in a half-circle in front of the conductor. The Cellos represents the space with twirling solos and more stagnant sections while the lack of Violins and Violas is for the quiet and motionless part of the painting. The solo of the Winds and Drums characterizes the clouds and the light of the moon and the stars. It is divided in two parts: 1. Nébuleuse (Nebula) and 2.Constellations, which are divided by a Cello interlude. Henri Dutilleux was internationally acclaimed for his work winning prizes such as the Gold Medal of the Royal Philharmonic Society and the UNESCO's International Rostrum of Composers, amongst many others. His work also includes a Piano sonata, two symphonies, the Violin concerto 'L'arbre des songes' (The tree of dreams) and the Cello concerto 'Tout un monde lointain' (A whole distant word).”.

Jeder Kultur wohnt eine Moral inne, welche die menschlichen Handlungen bewertet und in zwei Kategorien einteilt: gut/schlecht, positiv/negativ usw. Der Titel HARTO - zu deutsch: satt, uberdrussig - bezieht sich auf das Unbehagen, das diese dichotomische Auffassung hervorruft: eine Auffassung, die gleichwohl in uns verwurzelt ist und gerade darum den Prozess Wahrnehmung Ausserung Kenntnis beeinflusst, ihm zugehort. Tatsachlich wird das musikalische Phanomen dualistisch konzipiert: Klang = Ton/Gerausch; Tonhohenanordnung = Konsonanz/Dissonanz, tonal/atonal; Struktur = symmetrischer Bau (Vordersatz/Nachsatz), das scholastische Ideal des Gleichgewichts, das seinerseits eine Symmetrieachse zur Voraussetzung hat. Diese Strukturierung des Materials ergibt sich aus dem fast ausschliesslichen Interesse des Komponisten an den expressiven Moglichkeiten des musikalischen Apparats. Die Motivation des Komponierens aus dem Drang, etwas Inneres ausdrucken zu mussen, erscheint mir jedoch heute der Grundlage zu entbehren und folglich auch unnotig. Die letztliche Daseinsberechtigung dieser Motivation liegt in der dualistischen Vorstellung, die beim Menschen zwischen Leib und Seele unterscheidet. Ein Bluff, Produkt kleinlicher Disputiersucht. Eine Analyse auf der Basis empirischer Logik stellt fest, dass es keine Seele gibt, sondern ein Nervensystem mit bestimmten Fahigkeiten, und dass nichts auszudrucken ist, weil Musik die Empfindungen des Komponisten nicht wiedergeben kann. sondern lediglich unbestimmte Eindrucke im Horer erzeugt. Da aber jede bewusste Wahrnehmung Erkenntnis ist, ware es nun die Aufgabe des Komponisten, Musik mit diesem Ziel, das heisst: Musik als Erkenntnismittel zu schaffen. Dies alles ist der Versuch, die Erkenntnistheorie von David Hume und anderen, spateren Epistemologen auf Musik anzuwenden. Der Beitrag des Empirismus zur Erkenntnistheorie wurde zwar in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung genutzt, fand jedoch in der Kunst kaum, in der Musik keinerlei Beachtung. Warum? Vielleicht, weil in der Musik noch immer der naive, >>expressive<< Komponist vorherrscht, den das elitar-bourgeoise Publikum verlangt und dem es applaudiert. Der Einwand, dass Kunst immer bourgeois war und es weiterhin ist, gibt zwar keine Losung, sollte aber auch nicht unterschatzt werden. Ich habe HARTO in zwei Teilen konzipiert, wobei jeder Teil im Verhaltnis zum anderen sowohl irgendwie das gleiche als auch das Gegenteil darstellt. Der Grund fur diese Zweiteilung des Werkes ist leicht aus dem vorhin Gesagten abzuleiten. Als Vorarbeit zur Komposition habe ich versucht, die historische dichotomische Gestaltung des Materials besonders hervorzuheben, und zwar durch eine Potenzierung jener Aspekte, die diesen -zweigeteilten<< Charakter in sich tragen. Ich habe also den Zeitverlauf lediglich als eine Folge von Spannungs- und Entspannungs-Einheiten betrachtet; ich habe Tonhohen-Anordnungen verwendet, die ausschliesslich auf Symmetrie beruhen; ich habe zweiteilige Strukturen aufgebaut, deren Halften durch eine Pause mit konstantem Wert geteilt sind; ich habe - je nach den Moglichkeiten des Orchesters - den Gerausch- oder Tonanteil des Klanges ubertrieben. Dieser Gedankengang wurde im Hinblick darauf realisiert, neue Anwendungsmoglichkeiten zu finden, die fur das Ziel einer Musik als Erkenntnismittel von Nutzen sein konnen.(Manuel Hidalgo).
