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.

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

Conte
xtures: Riots -Decade '60
was commissioned by Zubin
Mehta and the Southern
California Symphony
Association after the
successful premiere of
the Concerto for Four
Percussion Soloists and
Orchestra. It was written
during the spring and
summer months of 1967.
Riots stemming from
resentment against the
racial situation in the
United States and the war
in Vietnam were occurring
throughout the country
and inevitably invaded
the composer's creative
subconscious.
Contextures, as the title
implies, was intended to
exploit various and
varying textures. As the
work progressed the
correspondence between
the fabric of music and
the fabric of society
became apparent and the
allegory grew in
significance. So I found
myself translating social
aspects into musical
techniques. Social
stratification became a
polymetric situation
where disparate groups
function together. The
conflict between the
forces of expansion and
the forces of containment
is expressed through and
opposition of tonal
fluidity vs. rigidity.
This is epitomized in the
fourth movement, where
the brass is divided into
two groups - a muted
group, encircled by the
unmuted one, which does
its utmost to keep the
first group within a
restricted pitch area.
The playful jazzy bits
(one between the first
and second movements and
one at the end of the
piece) are simply saying
that somehow in this age
of turmoil and anxiety
ways of having fun are
found even though that
fun may seem
inappropriate. The piece
is in five movements,
with an interlude between
the first and second
movements. It is scored
for a large orchestra,
supplemented by six
groups of percussion,
including newly created
roto-toms (small tunable
drums) and some original
devices, such as muted
gongs and muted
vibraphone. There is also
an offstage jazz quartet:
bass, drums, soprano
saxophone and trumpet.
The first movement begins
with a solo by the first
clarinetist which is
interrupted by
intermittent heckling
from his colleagues
leading to a
configuration of large
disparate elements. The
interlude of solo violin
and snare-drum follows
without pause. The second
movement, Prestissimo, is
a display piece of
virtuosity for the entire
orchestra. The third
movement marks a period
of repose and reflection
and calls for some
expressive solos,
particularly by the horn
and alto saxophone. The
fourth movement opens
with a rather lengthy
oboe solo, which is
threatened by large
blocks of sound from the
orchestra, against an
underlying current of
agitated energy in the
piano and percussion.
This leads to a section
in which large orchestral
forces oppose one
another, ultimately
bringing the work to a
climax, if not to a
denouement. Various
thematic elements are
strewn all over the
orchestra, resulting in
the formation of a
general haze of sound. A
transition leads to the
fifth movement without
pause. The musical haze
is pierced gently by the
offstage jazz group as if
they were attempting to
ignore and even dispel
the gloom, but a legato
bell sound enters and
hovers over both the jazz
group and the orchestra,
the latter making
statements of disquieting
finality. Two films were
conceived to accompany
portions of Contextures.
The first done by Herbert
Kosowar, was a
chemography film
(painting directly into
the film using dyes and
various implements) with
fast clips of riot
photographs. The second
was a film collage made
by photographically
abstracting details from
paintings of Reginald
Pollack. The purpose was
to invoke a non-specific
response - as in music -
but at the same time to
define the subject matter
of the piece. The films
were constructed to
correspond with certain
developments in the piece
and in no way affect the
independence and musical
flow of the piece, having
been made after the piece
was completed.

Work on this
piece began in the spring
of 1899 durng Kar owiczs
studies in Berlin and he
finished it after
graduating and returning
home in June 1902. Its
premiere took place on
March 21, 1903 in Berlin,
and the Polish premiere
on April 7, 1903 in Lviv.
The symphony has a
classic, four-movement
structure, but in terms
of architecture it is
much closer to symphonic
poems. It consists of the
movements: 1. Andante.
Allegro 2. Andante non
troppo 3. Vivace 4.
Allegro maestoso. ''In
terms of orchestration
and instrumentation
technique it represents
Kar owiczs early,
academic period. The
composer still used
double wind enriched with
piccolo flute, unlike in
his later orchestral
works the symphonic
poems. The orchestration
of the work indicates
that the composer was
guided by Tchaikovskys
symphonic model. Kar
owicz here still
willingly operates with
various sound blocks of
entire instrumental
groups, treating them in
a choral manner, with
tight chordal pillars''
(Leszek Polony). Before
the Polish premiere the
composer gave a
comprehensive literary
programme of the work in
the Lviv newspaper S owo
Polskie, in which he
referred to each
consecutive movement of
the Symphony. In his last
words he wrote, ''We hear
a hymn of revival, at
first quiet and sweet,
then wider and wider, and
fuller. Already the time
has come; to hear the
fanfare. Only one more
step! And although the
spirits fall again in
doubt, we hear a powerful
and solemn hymn of
rebirth.''.

full score. Text in
Polish, German, and
English. This edition of
the works of Mieczyslaw
Karlowicz is based on
critically examined
sources. It includes all
his compositions. The aim
of the edition is to
present the composer's
original text as
authentically as
possible. This is not an
easy task. The source
materials of Karlowicz's
music are very diverse in
nature. Apart from most
of the songs, the
composer prepared for
printing and published in
his lifetime the
following: Serenade for
Strings Op. 2, Prelude
and Fugue Op. 5, Concerto
in A major for Violin and
Orchestra Op. 8,
Returning Waves Op. 9 and
Eternal Songs Op. 10.
Being highly experienced
in writing for a symphony
orchestra, and
knowledgeable in the
modern method of
instrumentation in the
neoromantic style, he
prepared his scores with
great care. The remaining
symphonic poems were not
published before the
composer's death; and the
'Rebirth' Symphony, the
manuscript of which
miraculously survived the
ravages of World War II,
was issued only in 1993,
as part of the present
Complete Works edition.
During this war the
autographs of the most
compositions by
Karlowicz, including all
his symphonic poems
(except for The Sorrowful
Tale), were lost. The
present publication,
therefore, is based as a
rule on the first
editions, compared with
extant autographs or
authorized copies of the
scores. The amendments of
misprints or self-evident
mistakes on the part of
the composer are not
indicated graphically in
the text but referred to
in the Editorial

Rhapsody (Rapsodia
litewska), Op. 11 is the
third - after Returning
Waves and Eternal Songs -
of the six symphonic
poems by Mieczyslaw
Karlowicz. Composition
was probably taking shape
during the summer months
of 1906 in Warsaw.
Lithuanian Rhapsody
differs significantly
from the other parts of
'programme cycle' which
Mieczyslaw Karlowicz's
symphonic poems may be
regarded as forming. This
is a work based primarily
on thematic material
derived from folk output
(something that would
never again occur in the
composer's brief
biography), compared with
the earlier score of
Eternal Songs or the
later Stanislaw and Anna
Oswiecim it displays much
greater stylistic
independence of the
German music embodied
around the turn of the
twentieth century.

New
York is the city which
fascinates and inspires
Ruders. Time and again he
goes back there to work.
'Manhattan Abstraction'
(1982) subtitles - a
symphonic skyline for
large orchestra - was
conceived there. Ruders'
Brittish colleague Oliver
Knussen defines the piece
as: - a performance of an
extraordinary
Morden-Times-like
construction. It is a
sort of symphonic
sculpture, which in the
composer's own words
words propels forth from
one particular
inspiration: the New York
profile, as seen from
Liberty Island, one icy
cold January day with
it's open, clear sky and
dazzling sun light.
'Manhatten Abstraction'
appears as an amalgam of
some of the
compositorical habits
found in present pieces.
For instance, are present
here compositorical ideas
and melodic loans from
'Capriccio Pian'e Forte',
2nd String Quartet(1979),
'Four Compositions'
(1980), and 2nd Piano
Sonata(1982). The
question at hand is
mainly concerned with the
enhanced elaboration of
Ruders' use of the
classic English
change-ringing system: a
permuting method
pre-determining the order
of tone-appearances and
/or tone groups; a serial
technique in other words.
In spite of the rigidly
fixed material, Ruders
somehow manages to chisel
out a personal expression
by way of emphasising
contrasting elements
already existing within
the material itself. The
spiky, repetitive
sections form a
counterpart to a more
human violin-solo. This
dialectical tension is -
as hinted by the title -
a symphonic abstraction
of a fascinating
metropolis; the most
beautiful and the
ugliest. The subtitle: a
symphonic skyline
reflects the musical
erection of the Manhattan
profile, which under the
clear sky, materializes
into the most powerful
and compelling man-made
sculpture on earth. Thus
'Manhattan Abstraction'
is a homage to, as well
as a vision of, this
giant contraption of
concrete, glass, and
chrome.

Comp
leted while Ritchie was
Composer-in-Residence
with the Dunedin Sinfonia
in 1993, Boum is named
after a mysterious echo
heard by characters in
E.M. Forster's novel A
Passage to India. The
echo comes to symbolise
the mysteries of life and
death, and was a starting
point to a general theme
of existentialism and
human struggle that
pervades Ritchie's
symphony.An eclectic
range of influences can
be heard across Boum's
four movements. A
languid, Eastern-sounding
violin theme in the first
movement is influenced by
gamelan music,
referencing the pelog
scale. Inspired by
traditional music of the
Cook Islands, the jaunty
second movement is a
vigorous scherzo
dominated by the sound of
log-drum and tom-toms.
The third movement is a
lament for the victims of
the Bosnian war, its
evocative opening
inspired by the wailing
of a Maori karanga, while
the fourth movement can
be thought of as a
symphonic dance, its
pulse and motivic ideas
reminiscent of rock
music.

Gesualdo,
Don Carlo, Furst von
Venosa (1560-1613) gehort
zu den eigenwilligsten
italienischen
Madrigal-Komponisten der
Spatrenaissance. Seine
ungewohnlich kuhne,
selbst fur heutige Ohren
modern klingende
Harmonik, seine
chromatischen
Stimmfortschreitungen,
seine ubersteigerte
expressive Tonsprache
regten mich schon vor
Jahren zu einer grosseren
Orgelkomposition an und
inspirierten mich 1981 zu
den >>Sinfonischen
Metamorphosen<<. Dieses
Werk ist eine
vielgestaltige
weitausgesponnene
Fantasie. Sieben
choralartige typische
Klangbeispiele aus
Gesualdos spaten
funfstimmigen Madrigalen
(4., 5. u. 6. Band)
werden teils streng,
teils frei zitiert und
von Holz- oder
Blechblasern intoniert.
Diese Zitate gliedern,
als formale und
inhaltliche Schwer- und
Ruhepunkte, den Verlauf
des gesamten Werks. Jedes
Zitat steht zu Beginn
eines neuen
Satzabschnitts; die
darauffolgenden
>>Metamorphosen<<
entwickeln sich als
rhapsodische
kontrastreiche
Charakterstucke. Im
>>Preludio<< werden aus
den vertonbaren
Buchstaben vom Namen
>>Gesualdo<< (G - E - Es
- A - D) schwebende
Klangflachen,
rezitativische Gedanken
und ein pragnantes
rhythmisches Paukenthema
gebildet. Diese
,,Grundelemente
(Grundstrukturen) tauchen
im Verlauf des Stucks
immer wieder
leitmotivisch auf. Im
zweiten Abschnitt stehen
sich lineare
Streicher-Episoden und
dichte
Blaser-Klangballungen
kontrastierend gegenuber.
Der dritte Teil lauft als
Passacaglia (Thema ist
der Bass eines
Gesualdo-Zitats) in
mehreren Variationen ab.
Im vierten Abschnitt
dominiert lebhafte
Streicherbewegung,
kontrapunktiert von
tiefen Blaser-Signalen.
Der funfte Teil steigert
sich- nach kantablem
Beginn- zum ekstatischen
Trauermarsch. Abschnitt
sechs stellt sich als
>>Rondello<< dar, mit um
sich selbst kreisenden
Klangfiguren (in
verschiedenen Tongruppen
(zwei, drei, funf). Im
siebten und letzten Teil
wird die
verhalten-resignierende
Stimmung des Anfangs
beschworen, ehe eine
knappe Stretta in den
hymnischen Schluss
mundet. In den Textender
ausgewahlten Zitatstellen
geht es meist um
Todessehnsucht,
Liebesqual und
Verzweiflung. z. B. 1.
und 2. Zitat: Moro lasso,
al mio duolo (Ich sterbe,
matt, an meiner Qual) (6.
Buch) 3. Zitat: Gia
piansi nel dolore; o
dolorosa Sorte (Schon
weinte ich in Schmerzen,
oh schmerzliches
Geschick) (6. Buch) 4.
Zitat: Ahi gia mi
discolero (Ach schon
entfarbte ich mich)
(Wehe, der Tod kommt) (4.
Buch) 5. Zitat:
Dolcissima mia vita (Mein
allerliebstes Leben)
(Dich zu lieben oder zu
sterben) (5. Buch) 6.
Zitat: lo moro (Ich
sterbe) (5. Buch) Dem
Werk liegen zwar eine
Reihe von
dodekaphonischen
Strukturen zugrunde (die
teilweise von Gesualdos
Klangzitaten abgeleitet
wurden), doch sind die
einzelnen Abschnitte
auf,,tonale Pfeiler (G -
E - A - D) gegrundet; das
Stuck beginnt in G und
endet aufD, ist also
ubergeordnet tonal
konzipiert, - der Versuch
einer Synthese moderner
Ausdrucksmittel von
Vergangenheit und
Gegenwart. Die
>>Metamorphosen<< sind
ein Stuck Bekenntnismusik
- Bekenntnis zum Leben
und Schaffen Gesualdos,
eines Mannes, der vom
Schicksal gezeichnet war,
denn der Chronik Neapels
bekannt war durch die
Ermordung seiner ersten
Frau und ihres
Liebhabers. Dieser
eminente Musiker war
zugleich ein Mensch von
ubertriebener
Sensibilitat und wilder
ekstatischer Heftigkeit:
,,Er wurde von einer
Horde von Damonen
heimgesucht, die ihm
keine Ruhe gaben, heisst
es in einem
zeitgenossischen Bericht.
Seine Kunst und sein
Leben stand unter dem
Gesetz der inneren
Zerrissenheit, zwischen
Auflehnung und
Resignation (Verzweiflung
und Hoffnung), zwischen
Zartheit und
Leidenschaft. Davon will
meine Musik etwas
aussagen. (Jurg

The
New Mozart Edition offers
researchers a
musicologically
unimpeachable text based
on all the available
sources (first and
foremost Mozart's
autograph manuscripts).
At the same time, it also
serves as an aid to
authentic
performances.
The
principal Series I to IX,
containing Mozart's
actual oeuvre, appeared
between 1956 and 1991.
They are regarded as a
supreme achievement of
Mozart scholarship in our
time; modern performances
of Mozart's music are
unthinkable without them.
The important
supplementary volumes
shed fresh and
illuminating light on
neglected aspects of
Mozart's creative work,
such as his activities as
a teacher or as an
arranger of other
composer's works.
