Marche
fatale is an incautiously
daring escapade that may
annoy the fans of my
compositions more than my
earlier works, many of
which have prevailed only
after scandals at their
world premieres. My
Marche fatale has,
though, little
stylistically to do with
my previous compositional
path; it presents itself
without restraint, if not
as a regression, then
still as a recourse to
those empty phrases to
which modern civilization
still clings in its daily
utility music, whereas
music in the 20th and
21st centuries has long
since advanced to new,
unfamiliar soundscapes
and expressive
possibilities. The key
term is banality. As
creators we despise it,
we try to avoid it -
though we are not safe
from the cheap banal even
within new aesthetic
achievements.Many
composers have
incidentally accepted the
banal. Mozart wrote Ein
musikalischer Spass [A
Musical Jape], a
deliberately amateurishly
miscarried sextet.
Beethoven's Bagatellen
op. 119 were rejected by
the publisher on the
grounds that few will
believe that this minor
work is by the famous
Beethoven. Mauricio Kagel
wrote, tongue in cheek,
so to speak, Marsche, um
den Sieg zu verfehlen
[Marches for being
Unvictorious], Ligeti
wrote Hungarian Rock; in
his Circus Polka
Stravinsky quoted and
distorted the famous, all
too popular Schubert
military march, composed
at the time for piano
duet. I myself do not
know, though, whether I
ought to rank my Marche
fatale alongside these
examples: I accept the
humor in daily life, the
more so as this daily
life for some of us is
not otherwise to be
borne. In music, I
mistrust it, considering
myself all the closer to
the profounder idea of
cheerfulness having
little to do with humor.
However: Isn't a march
with its compelling claim
to a collectively martial
or festive mood absurd, a
priori? Is it even music
at all? Can one march and
at the same time listen?
Eventually, I resolved to
take the absurd seriously
- perhaps bitterly
seriously - as a
debunking emblem of our
civilization that is
standing on the brink.
The way - seemingly
unstoppable - into the
black hole of all
debilitating demons: that
can become serene. My old
request of myself and my
music-creating
surroundings is to write
a non-music, whence the
familiar concept of music
is repeatedly re-defined
anew and differently, so
that derailed here -
perhaps? - in a
treacherous way, the
concert hall becomes the
place of mind-opening
adventures instead of a
refuge in illusory
security. How could that
happen? The rest is -
thinking.(Helmut

The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

It was only
shortly after the 5th
Symphony that Beethoven
completed the Pastoral
Symphony. The two formed
a complementary work
pair, consigned together
to a patron in June 1808,
publicly premiered in
Vienna in December 1808,
and published by
Breitkopf & Hartel in the
spring of 1809. During
this period, Beethoven
revised the symphony
several times. Only in
the course of preparing
for publication did
Beethoven send Breitkopf
& Hartel a letter,
together with a list of
corrections, disclosing
the title that he
desired, Pastoral
Symphony or recollections
of country life. More an
expression of feeling
than painting. The
Pastoral with its
tone-painting elements
gives evidence of
Beethoven's closeness to
nature, characterizing in
five movements his
various experiences and
images of nature. Based
on the music text of the
Beethoven Complete
Edition, the new
performance material of
this recently published
edition presents the
current, authoritative
status of Beethoven
research for this
work.

The Song of
the Earth, composed in
the summer of 1908, is
Mahler's best-known and
most personal work.
Reflecting drastic
changes in his life, its
immense emotional density
is very moving. Until the
very end, Mahler
continued to refine the
extremely differentiated
instrumentation, as is
evident in numerous
retouchings in the
autograph score and
engraver's model. It is
therefore all the more
regrettable that he was
neither able to perform
his Symphony in Songs
himself nor that he was
involved in its printing.
Unfortunately, in the
posthumously published
first edition of 1912 and
the subsequent editions
edited by Erwin Ratz and
Karl Heinz Fussl, many
questions remained
unanswered, while other
were answered in a
dubious way.The edition
is the first
text-critical one of the
work on a scientifically
sound basis. It offers
not only a more reliable
musical text, but also
systematically and
lucidly prepared
information on the
sources, their
transmission and
evaluation. All editorial
decisions have been
documented in a
transparently
comprehensible manner -
in particular those
leading to new audible
results. Work-related
notes on performance
practice, which for the
first time include
Mahler's conducting
indications, offer
valuable, indispensable
interpretive aids. In
addition to the regular
five clarinet parts, the
set of parts includes two
additional parts (3rd
clarinet/Eb clarinet,
bass clarinet/3rd
clarinet in places where
the latter plays Eb
clarinet) to allow
performances with only
four clarinets.The
completely revised piano
reduction reproduces the
orchestral texture true
to the score without
losing sight of
playability. Both
Mahler's piano autograph
and the piano reduction
by Woss, which was
commissioned by the
composer himself, served
as an inspiration for
this.

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.
