'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.

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.

Eino
juhani Rautavaara
(1928-2016) was one of
Finland's internationally
most successful
composers. He made his
major breakthrough with
the Symphony No. 7, Angel
of Light, in the 1990s,
but his output includes
numerous classic operas,
concertos, chamber music
and choral works.
Over his extensive
career, he progressed
from Neo-Classicism to
strict dodecaphony to
free-tonal
Neo-Romanticism,
combining modernism with
mystical romanticism in
his later works.
According to the
composer, the role of the
composer is to be
mediator, a midwife, who
helps the music become
alive on its own terms;
Listen to what the music
wants to tell you, he
told his composition
students, sense where it
wants to go.
Rautavaara rose to great
international fame with
the success of his
Symphony No. 7, Angel of
Light (1995) powered by
the prize-winning
recording (Helsinki
Philharmonic, Segerstam,
Ondine label) later the
same year. Many
high-profile
international commissions
followed, creating yet
more prize-winning
recordings. To mark
the 25th anniversary of
the work's premiere - in
its original form as the
Bloomington Symphony - by
the Bloomington Symphony
Orchestra and conductor
David Pickett, Fennica
Gehrman is publishing an
entirely new edition of
the symphony based on all
available sources,
including the composer's
manuscript and his
markings in various
printed scores. This
is a large-sized
conductor score with
extensive analysis of the
work and its genesis.

Christmas Fugue, like

time, Robert Bennett
Brown is District
Supervisor of Music for

Public Schools.
Previously, for some
nineteen years, he taught
in Bronxville, N.Y.
where, as Chairman of
Music, he brought about
an extremely high level
of school orchestral
achievement. he was
educated at New York
University and Teachers
College, Columbia
University. He has served
as a field supervisor of
student teaching for New

For the past two years he
has been a member of the

Conductor: You will find
this work to be the
conductor's dream. Parts
are easy but impressive
sounding. The total
effect will give your
orchestra that typical
classical sound so
satisfying to performer
and listener alike. Full
or exact instrumentation
is not a must; cross-cues
will carry critical areas
where a specified
instrument may be
lacking. Piano, tuba, and
saxophone parts are
written to accommodate
those players where they
exist. These parts are
not essential to the
instrumentation. Though
Christmas Fugue is well
suited to the interests
of high school orchestra
pursuits, its grade of
difficulty is easily
handled by any junior
high school group of
average ability.
 . Program
note:Christmas Fugue,
like the charming English
folk tune on which it is
based, is full of the
spirit and fun that is
Christmas. After a slow
shimmering introduction
which imparts an
impression of Christmas
morning, the fugue
subject is abruptly
introduced. The fugue
subject: We Wish You a
Merry Christmas. The work
develops through a series
of playful musical
episodes which afford

John Corigliano (b.
1938) is an American
composer. One of his most
enjoyable compositions is
The Mannheim
Rocket,
commissioned by the
Mannheim orchestra in the
year 2000. It takes
inspiration from
theRocket of the
title – a famous
compositional device
invented by the orchestra
in the 1700s. From there
it swiftly traverses 200
years of German music,
cleverly hiding quotes
from some of the most
famous orchestralworks of
the era, rising to its
zenith before falling
back to earth –
exactly as a real rocket
would.
Described
by the composer as a
“marvellous
journey”, this
orchestral piece is one
of the mostentertaining
in the repertoire –
both to play and to
listen to.

2016 Published by: Amy
Mills Music, LLC Like a
modern Pictures at an
Exhibition…. Ha
Shamayim is an original
piece for orchestra that
was inspired by
photographs taken by the
Hubble space telescope.
Each section is inspired
by one photo; the title
of each section is the
title that NASA gave to
the photograph. The words
Ha Shamayim are Hebrew
for The Heavens. They are
written in Genesis 1:1,
In the beginning God
created the heavens and
the earth. The words are
also seen in Psalm 19.
Section I: Warped Edge-On
Galaxy ESO 510-G13
The piece begins in outer
space with its glistening
stars. Glissandi are used
to depict the strange but
beautiful warp seen in
the photograph. Section
II: Galaxy Fires at
Neighboring Galaxy
Suddenly the piece erupts
as one galaxy fires blue
gas at its neighbor. They
engage in a cosmic
battle. Section III:
Youthful-looking Galaxy
May Be an Adult The
adolescent galaxy is
personified by a
humorous, gawky melody
reminiscent of teenage
boys who walk on feet
that are still too big.
Occasionally there is an
argument with an
authority figure, but the
joy of exploring the
universe quickly returns.
Section IV: Star Birth in
Galaxy M83 The
dramatic photograph looks
like a womb with veins.
The music begins on one
note, then it begins to
explore the initial
swelling and stretching.
It morphs into an
energetic fast theme,
still growing. Ultimately
it becomes glorious and
expansive, like the new
star. Section V: String
of ‘Cosmic
Pearls’ Surrounds
an Exploding Star The
first theme is a happy
circle dance inspired by
the circle of white dots
in the photograph. The
second theme is noble and
joyful. It is reminiscent
of the melody in the
famous chorus in
Haydn’s The
Creation with the words
from Psalm 19, The
heavens are telling the
glory of God. The music
then has flashbacks to
the earlier sections, and
ends in triumph. The five
sections in Ha Shamayim
are continuous with no
breaks. Difficulty Level:
5 (Advanced/Professional)

Bryce
Dessner's Lachrimae was
commissioned by the
Amsterdam Sinfonietta,
the Scottish Ensemble,
and the Norwegian Chamber
Orchestra. Composer's
Note: Lachrimae is a
direct reference to John
Dowland's work of the
same name. I had played
that that piece in school
on guitar and decided
that I wanted to base
something on it. Dowland
himself adapted the piece
several times into
different versions and
there's also a Benjamin
Britten composition based
on the same piece of
music, so that was part
of my inspiration. When I
wrote my work I
waslistening to string
orchestra music and I
think Bartok's
Divertimento is the
pinnacle of string
writing. So the piece is
kind of equally inspired
by Dowland's Rennaissance
Lachrimae and by Bartok's
Divertimento.

“In
early 2006 I was
commissioned to write a
piece to be premiered in
a church. Before
beginning work on it, I
tested the acoustics
there, according to which
the compositional concept
developed. Somewhat later
I began to compose the
piece 'with the church',
so to speak. During the
process of composition,
however, the music
gradually distanced
itself from the original
spatial conditions and
developed into a piece
whose characteristics
were transformed into a
church-acoustical
structure. 'I see your
music when I hear it', a
listener once said to me.
Does one really see the
music? Can fragrances be
heard? Or can one smell
colours? This 5-part
composition is music in
which the tones move in
space on different
levels, even when they
are sometimes very quiet
and slow; they are clear
and transparent even when
they are apparently
dense, complicated and
energetic.â€
