Pat-a-Pan, this exciting
arrangement by Mary
McDonald tells the story
of the shepherds who,
awakened by an angel in
brilliant starlight, run
to Bethlehem to see the
Child who is born the
Lamb for all mankind.
Easy to prepare and sing,
it has several equally

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

On
letting go(Concerning the
selection of the texts)
In the selection of the
texts, I have allowed
myself to be motivated
and inspired by the
concept of 'letting go'.
This appears to me to be
one of the essential
aspects of dying, but
also of life itself. We
humans cling far too
strongly to successful
achievements, whether
they have to do with
material or ideal values,
or relationships of all
kinds. We cannot and do
not want to let go,
almost as if our life
depended on it. As we
will have to practise the
art of letting go at the
latest during our hour of
death, perhaps we could
already make a start on
this while we are still
alive. Tagore describes
this farewell with very
simple but strikingly
vivid imagery: 'I will
return the key of my
door'. I have set this
text for tenor solo. Here
I imagine, and have
correspondingly noted in
a certain passage of the
score, that the
protagonist finds himself
as though 'in an ocean'
of voices in which he is
however not drowning, but
immersing himself in
complete relaxation. The
phenomenon of letting go
is described even more
simply and tersely in
Psalm 90, verse 12: 'So
teach us to number our
days, that we may apply
our hearts unto wisdom'.
This cannot be expressed
more plainly.I have begun
the requiem with a solo
boy's voice singing the
beginning of this psalm
on a single note, the
note A. This in effect
says it all. The work
comes full circle at the
culmination with a repeat
of the psalm which
subsequently leads into a
resplendent 'lux
aeterna'. The
intermediate texts of the
Requiem which highlight
the phenomenon of letting
go in the widest spectrum
of colours originate on
the one hand from the
Latin liturgy of the
Messa da Requiem (In
Paradisum, Libera me,
Requiem aeternam, Mors
stupebit) and on the
other hand from poems by
Joseph von Eichendorff,
Hermann Hesse,
Rabindranath Tagore and
Rainer Maria Rilke.All
texts have a distinctive
positive element in
common and view death as
being an organic process
within the great system
of the universe, for
example when Hermann
Hesse writes: 'Entreiss
dich, Seele, nun der
Zeit, entreiss dich
deinen Sorgen und mache
dich zum Flug bereit in
den ersehnten Morgen'
['Tear yourself way , o
soul, from time, tear
yourself away from your
sorrows and prepare
yourself to fly away into
the long-awaited
morning'] and later: 'Und
die Seele unbewacht will
in freien Flugen
schweben, um im
Zauberkreis der Nacht
tief und tausendfach zu
leben' ['And the
unfettered soul strives
to soar in free flight to
live in the magic sphere
of the night, deep and
thousandfold']. Or Joseph
von Eichendorff whose
text evokes a distant
song in his lines: 'Und
meine Seele spannte weit
ihre Flugel aus. Flog
durch die stillen Lande,
als floge sie nach Haus'
['And my soul spread its
wings wide. Flew through
the still country as if
homeward bound.']Here a
strong romantically
tinged occidental
resonance can be detected
which is however also
accompanied by a
universal spirit going
far beyond all cultures
and religions. In the
beginning was the sound
Long before any sort of
word or meaningful phrase
was uttered by vocal
chords, sounds,
vibrations and tones
already existed. This
brings us back to the
music. Both during my
years of study and at
subsequent periods, I had
been an active
participant in the world
of contemporary music,
both as percussionist and
also as conductor and
composer. My early scores
had a somewhat
adventurous appearance,
filled with an abundance
of small black dots: no
rhythm could be too
complicated, no register
too extreme and no
harmony too dissonant. I
devoted myself intensely
to the handling of
different parameters
which in serial music
coexist in total
equality: I also studied
aleatory principles and
so-called minimal music.I
subsequently emigrated
and took up residence in
Spain from where I
embarked on numerous
travels over the years to
India, Africa and South
America. I spent repeated
periods during this time
as a resident in
non-European countries.
This meant that the
currents of contemporary
music swept past me
vaguely and at a great
distance. What I instead
absorbed during this
period were other
completely new cultures
in which I attempted to
immerse myself as
intensively as possible.I
learned foreign languages
and came into contact
with musicians of all
classes and styles who
had a different cultural
heritage than my own: I
was intoxicated with the
diversity of artistic
potential.Nevertheless,
the further I distanced
myself from my own
Western musical heritage,
the more this returned
insistently in my
consciousness.The scene
can be imagined of
sitting somewhere in the
middle of the Brazilian
jungle surrounded by the
wailing of Indians and
out of the blue being
provided with the
opportunity to hear
Beethoven's late string
quartets: this can be a
heart-wrenching
experience, akin to an
identity crisis. This
type of experience can
also be described as
cathartic. Whatever the
circumstances, my
'renewed' occupation with
the 'old' country would
not permit me to return
to the point at which I
as an audacious young
student had maltreated
the musical parameters of
so-called contemporary
music. A completely
different approach would
be necessary: an
extremely careful
approach, inching my way
gradually back into the
Western world: an
approach which would
welcome tradition back
into the fold, attempt to
unfurl the petals and
gently infuse this
tradition with a breath
of contemporary
life.Although I am aware
that I will not unleash a
revolution or scandal
with this approach, I am
nevertheless confident
as, with the musical
vocabulary of this
Requiem, I am travelling
in an orbit in which no
ballast or complex
structures will be
transported or intimated:
on the contrary, I have
attempted to form the
message of the texts in
music with the naivety of
a 'homecomer'. Harald

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.

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).

This work
was written with a mix
between computer
technology and the more
traditional orchestra,
the piece was composed in
such a way that it would
support its own
acoustics. Lindberg
worked with amplification
of instruments and
electronically
transformed sounds thus
producing greater
possibilities to abandon
acoustic limits. In order
for the piece to be
supported by it's own
acoustics, the piece had
to be written in terms of
foreground and background
harmony, every foreground
chord would always have
it's background, a shadow
existing without it's
main chord. Another theme
to the piece is that of
textural motion as rapid
gestures and motions are
a big part of the
composer's interest.
Static repitions seemed
to limit the piece
however so they were
compensated for on
another level, so with a
repetitive rhythmic
pattern, the harmonic
material changes rapidly
or when a chain of chords
is static the rhythmic
and timbral qualities
vary frequently. Work for
orchestra commissioned by
the Finnish Broadcasting
Company.
