Autograph
lays bare Mendelssohn's
Overture to A Midsummer
Night's Dream To this
day, Mendelssohns
epoch-making Overture to
A Midsummer Night's Dream
has been performed on the
basis of a more than
dubious transmission.
Neither the first edition
of the parts (1832), and
certainly not the print
of the score based on
these parts (1835) go
back directly to the
autograph of the
17-year-old composer,
which is now located in
Krakow. No wonder, since
Mendelssohn had breezily
given away his original
at an early date. The
result: during his
lifetime, versions were
published with his
authorization, even
though they were full of
unintended
inconsistencies. Yet the
autograph of 1826 is
unequivocal: it is clear,
practically free of
irregularities and
diverges considerably
from the corrupted
printed version.
Christian Martin Schmidt
comes up with
occasionally differing
musical passages, but
above all with logical
and compositionally
compelling performance
instructions, laying bare
to musical practice the
original form buried
beneath layers of
falsified material for
the first
time.

Mic
hael Nyman's
Musique A Grande
Vitesse
(MGV)
translates as ‘high
speed music’ and
was commissioned by the
Festival de Lille for the
inauguration of the TGV
North EuropeanParis-Lille
line in 1993.
This
piece of sheet music runs
continuously, but was
conceived as an abstract,
imaginary journey; or
rather five
inter-connected journeys,
each ending with a slow,
mainly stepwise melody
which isonly heard in its
'genuine' form when the
piece reaches its
destination.
Thematic
'transformation' is a key
to MGV
as a whole. Throughout
the piece ideas -
rhythmic, melodic,
harmonic, motivic,
textural -constantly
change their identity as
they pass through
different musical
'environments'.
The opening bars
establish both a
recurrent rhythmic
principle - 9, 11, or
13-beat rhythmic cycles
heard against a regular 8
- and aharmonic process -
chord sequences (mainly
over C and E) which have
the note E in common.
(Coincidentally,
MGV
begins in C and ends in
E). A later scalic,
syncopated figure (again
first heard over C, E and
A)begins the second
section, featuring Brass,
in D flat.
The
topography of
MGV
should be experienced
without reference to
planning, description or
timetables. Its tempo
changes and unpredictable
slowings downbear no
logical relation to the
high speed of the
Paris-Lille journey,
while the temptation to
treat
MGV as a
concerto grosso, with the
Michael Nyman
band as the ripeno, was
resisted: more suitably
theband (amplified in
live performance) lays
down the tracks on which
MGV
runs.

A Grateful Tail
- Movement by Movement
Siriusly, Dog Star
Sirius, the brightest
star in the night sky,
has been used by
travelers and navigators
for thousands of years as
a guiding star and so it
is here as the opening
movement for the
symphony. Sirius, the
cornerstone to the
constellation Canis
Maggiore or Big Dog sits
at the foot of Orion, the
hunter, leading the way.
Highly cinematic, the
movement evokes both a
musical and visual sense
of the mythological and
mysterious elements of
Sirius and its Dog
Godstar secrets. From the
clarion call of the
opening, Sirius theme,
the sound is buoyant and
frisky emulating the
nature of doggy playtime.
Puppy pleasures abound as
a doggy four-step, my
turn on the traditional
American two-step dance,
is introduced. The
movement transforms into
an actual orchestrated
frolic of small, large
and medium dog barks
beginning with the winds
(smaller dogs) and
ultimately, the big dog,
brass. The movement
climaxes with the coda
or, Dog Park, where the
winds and the brass bark
and play together over
the, doggy ostinato
four-step rhythm,
culminating with the
final call of the Sirius
theme. Let Sleeping Dogs
Lie, Peacefully It's all
in a dog's day and life.
Tranquility presides over
this supremely gentle,
intermezzo-like movement.
After a day of play,
every dog needs rest. Let
Sleeping Dogs Lie, is a
lyrical andante inspired
by the profound serenity
and beauty of a dog at
rest. The Last Will and
Testament of Silverdene
Emblem O'Neill Based on a
powerful piece of prose
written by the American
playwright, Eugene
O'Neill this text was
intended as a consolation
piece for Carlotta, his
wife, who had become
grief-stricken over the
loss of their beloved
dog, the Dalmatian known
as Blemie.Written for a
singing actor who
personifies the role of
Blemie, a dog at the end
of his life, the movement
plays like a one act,
musical drama as we
follow Blemie through a
wonderfully
three-dimensional,
emotional and
psychological journey
writing his Last Will and
Testament, for those who
have loved him. Wagging
the Tail: Ossia Fido's
Lament A life-affirming
rumba/samba using
Blemie's final words from
O'Neill's text, this
final movement employs
the most unique American
musical invention, the
gospel choir. In order to
make the dances come
alive, this movement also
calls upon the colors of
a rhythm section.
Creating the spirit of an
Irish Funeral, the
movement is a joyful and
revival-like celebration
of a dog's life as its
spirit lives on forever
in the hearts and minds
of dog lovers everywhere.
Remember Me, remember me!
My spirit is wagging a
grateful tail. Published

A
Programmatic Declaration
of BeliefFelix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy
composed his Reformation
Symphony for the
celebrations marking the
300th anniversary of the
Confessio Augustana, the
Protestant declaration of
faith. Owing to various
and only partially
explained reasons, there
was no performance in
1830, the year in
question; it was only two
years later that the
composer conducted the
premiere of his work, now
heavily revised, in
Berlin. There was only
one more performance in
Mendelssohn's lifetime,
this one conducted by
Julius Rietz in
Dusseldorf; the composer
had since distanced
himself from his
opus.Conceived for the
concert hall, the
symphony formulates its
theological references
through the integration
of various motives. This
occurs in the finale, for
example, in which
Mendelssohn quotes the
Luther chorale Ein feste
Burg in the flute, from
where it builds up to a
triumphant principal
theme. The strong
extra-musical aspect must
have been one of the
reasons for the
composer's later
avoidance of this score,
especially since
Mendelssohn was becoming
increasingly skeptical
about explicitly
programmatic music in the
instrumental domain. Next
to the Dusseldorf
performance material of
1837, two scribal copies
have been examined for
the first time; they
transmit the main stages
of the version of
1830.

From the outset, he
worked in all musical

several of his musical

individual,
self-contained works but
as work cycles with
different functional
relationships. These
contrasting pieces
complement each other if
experienced as part of
the overall structure.
Hindemith himself not

edition of his collected
works but had begun
planning it; at his death
he left a detailed list
of 'Unpublished pieces

Programme
note
Morpheus in the Greek
mythology is the most
powerful of the Oneroi,
the gods of dreams. He is
the one who sends us our
dreams and he may appear
to us within the dreams
in disguise.
Analogous to the logic
of dreams, in
Morpheus
everything is interwoven,
as chains of associations
appear to logically lead
us from one line of
thought to another.
Everything seems
strangelyfamiliar. But
the logic is treacherous
and we already feel, it
may only be valid within
the dream. Nothing that
appears similar is
actually ever really the
same.
Half
awakening, we struggle to
hold on to a vanishing
world we felt we were on
the verge of
understanding, but which
we already know will
eventually escape us when
we fully awake.

Despite the
numbering, the overture
Leonore No. 2 was
Beethoven's first effort
to precede his only opera
with an adequate
introduction. It had been
composed last minute and
in between the rehearsals
for the premiere of the
opera Leonore oder Der
Triumph der ehelichen
Liebe (Leonore, or The
Triumph of Marital Love)
on 20 November 1805 at
the Theater an der Wien.
This comprehensive,
programmatic work was met
with incomprehension at
first performances just
like the opera itself.
Beethoven felt compelled
to re-write Leonore
completely and presented
it under its new title
Fidelio. In 1806 he
revised the overture to
such an extent that a
symphonic sonata movement
emerged; with another
incorrect numbering,
Leonore No. 3 has gone
down in music history and
above all it has achieved
a regular place in
concert repertory. And in
order to complete the
confusion: written in
1806/07, only Overture
No. 1 is Beethoven's
chronologically last
effort to write an
overture for Leonore,
before he - many years
later - put an end to
this infinite subject
with the so-called
Fidelio overture for the
third version of the
opera. After all, thanks
to the search after a
dramaturgically
convincing beginning of
the opera, the music
world has been enriched
by four quite different
orchestra scores.The
music text of the present
score is based on Volume
11 of the Supplements to
the Complete Edition. The
performance material of
the Fidelio and Leonore
No. 3 overtures is

In 1998, at
the end of the 20th
century, Breitkopf &
Hartel started the
publication of the
Complete Edition, which
is made possible thanks
to the cooperation of the
various Sibelius
publishers. The Editors
(Helsinki University
Library and The Sibelius
Society of Finland) and
the Editorial Committee
(Chairman: Timo Virtanen,
Helsinki) believe that
the volumes of JSW will
provide the basis for a
now conception of the
creative work of Jean
Sibelius.Reviews: One
immediately recognizes
the towering production
quality of these volumes
- a point that can be
extended to all volumes
thus far published in the
set. The music is a joy
to read; and the lucidity
and thoroughness of the
texts … are models
of scholarly editions,
and should be required
reading for all
bibliography and
music-editing courses.
… In sum, the JSW
is a remarkable project:
the scholarship is
impeccable, the music
scores and texts are
simply a joy to study.
Edward Jurkowski, Notes
December 2011: 442-443At
the back of this
magnificent book are
pages of critical
commentary on a
bar-by-bar analysis of an
endless supply of musical
notation requiring
interpretation by the
editor. … For the
general, non-musically
trained, purchaser of the
edition there is the
magisterial introduction
to read, and fascinating
reading it is. Edward W.
Clark, Sibelius Society
Newsletter 2009 The
Sibelius pieces, however,
are a revelation. I
opened this magnificently
produced volume -
complete with
multilingual critical
report and generous
facsimiles of original
manuscripts - expecting
Grieg-style
quasi-nationalistic
character pieces, and was
instead presented with an
incredible array of
styles, textures,
harmonic languages and
levels of difficulty.
Chris White, Piano
Professional Summer 2009:
2This is not only a
scholarly edition of one
of the composer's major
works, it is also a model
for the philological
editing of music in
general. … JSW has
chosen to have the
emendations reflected in
two places, in certain
cases even in three: as
graphic indications in
the music text, in prose
form in the critical
commentary, and sometimes
also in the form of a
warning footnote on the
music page. There can be
no doubt that such a
procedure is very
user-friendly, but it
disturbs the appearance
of the music and may
mislead the user into
thinking that there are
two or more equally valid

The work of
Paul Hindemith is
encyclopedic in nature.
From the outset, he
worked in all musical
genres and devised
several of his musical
ideas and projects not as
individual,
self-contained works but
as work cycles with
different functional
relationships. These
contrasting pieces
complement each other if
experienced as part of
the overall structure.
Hindemith himself not
only wanted a complete
edition of his collected
works but had begun
planning it; at his death
he left a detailed list
of ‚Unpublished
pieces for an eventual
complete
edition‘.The
Complete Works contain
all finished works in all
extant versions, newly
engraved for the edition.
Sketches and fragments
are published in
appendices of the
relevant volume, and are
evaluated in the
Introduction and Critical
Commentary by the
respective volume
editor.Each volume
contains a preface by the
editorial directors and
an introduction by the
volume editor,
delineating the genesis
and performance history
of the work, with
authentic performance
instructions, an
evaluation of extant
recordings by Paul
Hindemith himself and a
Critical Commentary.The
Complete Works of Paul
Hindemith are thus
presented in a critical,
scholarly edition which
is equally appropriate
for study and
performance. Hindemith
researchers will welcome
the numerous first
publications of works by
the composer, and
practical musicians will
appreciate the newly
prepared, philologically
ordered performance
material.

In
1998, at the end of the
20th century, Breitkopf &
Hartel started the
publication of the
Complete Edition, which
is made possible thanks
to the cooperation of the
various Sibelius
publishers. The Editors
(Helsinki University
Library and The Sibelius
Society of Finland) and
the Editorial Committee
(Chairman: Timo Virtanen,
Helsinki) believe that
the volumes of JSW will
provide the basis for a
now conception of the
creative work of Jean
Sibelius.Reviews: One
immediately recognizes
the towering production
quality of these volumes
- a point that can be
extended to all volumes
thus far published in the
set. The music is a joy
to read; and the lucidity
and thoroughness of the
texts ... are models of
scholarly editions, and
should be required
reading for all
bibliography and
music-editing courses.
... In sum, the JSW is a
remarkable project: the
scholarship is
impeccable, the music
scores and texts are
simply a joy to study.
Edward Jurkowski, Notes
December 2011: 442-443At
the back of this
magnificent book are
pages of critical
commentary on a
bar-by-bar analysis of an
endless supply of musical
notation requiring
interpretation by the
editor. ... For the
general, non-musically
trained, purchaser of the
edition there is the
magisterial introduction
to read, and fascinating
reading it is. Edward W.
Clark, Sibelius Society
Newsletter 2009 The
Sibelius pieces, however,
are a revelation. I
opened this magnificently
produced volume -
complete with
multilingual critical
report and generous
facsimiles of original
manuscripts - expecting
Grieg-style
quasi-nationalistic
character pieces, and was
instead presented with an
incredible array of
styles, textures,
harmonic languages and
levels of difficulty.
Chris White, Piano
Professional Summer 2009:
2This is not only a
scholarly edition of one
of the composer's major
works, it is also a model
for the philological
editing of music in
general. ... JSW has
chosen to have the
emendations reflected in
two places, in certain
cases even in three: as
graphic indications in
the music text, in prose
form in the critical
commentary, and sometimes
also in the form of a
warning footnote on the
music page. There can be
no doubt that such a
procedure is very
user-friendly, but it
disturbs the appearance
of the music and may
mislead the user into
thinking that there are
two or more equally valid
readings. Niels Krabbe,

This work,
written by Maxwell Davies
in 1983 for chamber
orchestra, was
commissioned to celebrate
the quartercentenary of
Edinburgh University. The
first performance was
given by the Scottish
Chamber Orchestra
conducted by Edward
Harper in October 1983.
Duration c. 29mins. This
work was thought through
in outline following a
visit to the ruined
pre-Reformation church of
Hoy in Orkney, on a fine
Spring afternoon after
Maxwell Davies had played
the harmonium for the
tiny congregation in its
large bleak Victorian
replacement. The old
church was surrounded by
the graves of centuries,
the more recent ones with
familiar names, largely
of people who lived in
houses now ruinous -
crofters, fishermen,
clerics, sea-captains.
Next to it stood the
chief farmhouse, the Bu,
going back to Viking
times. He thought of the
lives and deaths
encompassed there,
expressed through
hundreds of years of
music in the church, and
in the big barn of the
farm. The plainsongs
'Dies Irae' and 'Victimae
Paschali Laudes' are used
throughout the work - the
first concerning the Day
of Judgement, from the
Mass for the Dead, the
second particular to
Easter Sunday and the
Resurrection. These are
subject to constant
transformation - the
intervallic contour
slowly changes from one
into the other, and their
notes are made to dance
through Renaissance
astrological 'magic
square' patterns. The
orchestra consists of
double woodwind, two
horns, two trumpets and
strings.
