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.
Contextures: Riots -
Decade '60 is dedicated
to Mehta, the Southern
California Symphony
Association and the Los
Angeles Philharmonic
Orchestra. The news of
the assassination of Dr.
Martin Luther King came
the afternoon of the
premiere, April 4, 1968.
That evening's
performances, and also
the succeeding ones, were
dedicated to him and a
special dedication to Dr.
King has been inserted
into he score. All the
music that follows the
jazz group - beginning
with the legato bell
sound playing the first 2
notes to We shall
overcome constitutes a
new ending to commemorate
Dr. King's death.

Jean
Sibelius wrote his last
two tone poems
Aallottaret op. 73 and
Tapiola op. 112 as
commissions for the
United States.
Aallottaret is the
original Finnish title of
op. 73, as is found on
the autograph. Discreetly
concealed behind this
title, however, is the
title The Oceanides,
which also stems from
Sibelius, and which
Breitkopf & Hartel gladly
placed in first position
for the first edition of
1915, thus facilitating
the diffusion of the
work. The previously
unpublished early version
of Aallottaret is also
presented in the volume
of the Complete Edition;
it had been hastily
rejected shortly before
the world premiere.
Compared with this
genesis, the origin of
Tapiola , Sibelius last
great symphonic poem, is
relatively unspectacular:
though he was under
pressure to write and
publish the work,
Sibelius produced no
different versions. There
was only one printed
edition from Breitkopf
and no further revisions.
Thanks are given to
Professor Nors S.
Josephson for his
valuable work on this
volume, the editing of
which he began.

'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.

Phaedra by
German composer Hans
Werner Henze is a
'concert opera' in two
acts whose first
performance was given at
the Berlin State Opera in
2007. Phaedra was Henze
's penultimate opera, and
this item presents the
full score, with the
entire work lasting
around 75 minutes.
Featuring a unique
libretto by Christian
Lehnert and sound effects
by Francesco Antonioni,
this opera presents the
wonderful story of
Phaedra, filled with
drama and fantastic
music. This Full Score
presents the work
in German and English
language, and features
detailed instructions for
the supplied CD, on which
some sound effects are
included that are to be
used in conjunction with
the instruments.
Phaedrawas
co-commissioned and
co-produced by Staatsoper
Unter den Linden Berlin,
Berliner Festspiele,
Theatre de la Monnaie
Brussels, Alte Oper
Frankfurt and Wiener
Festwochen. Hans Werner
Henze was a hugely
prolific composer who
drew influences from a
wide number of sources.
Phaedra is regarded as
among his greatest works
and would certainly make
for a stunning
performance.

Symphony
No. 6 for orchestra,
1997-99. Preface /
Program Note:... with the
Lord a day is like a
thousand years, and a
thousand years is like a
day(New Testament, 2
Peter 3:8)My SYMPHONY NO.
6 was commissioned by the
Danish National Radio
Symphony Orchestra, the
Gteborg Symphony
Orchestra and the Oslo
Philharmonic Orchestra,
to be premiered at the
millenium 2000.The
subtitle AT THE END OF
THE DAY can be understood
literally or it can mean
when all is added up.
However, in my opinion,
nothing ever quite adds
up, there is always
something missing, any
ending will be
provisional ...This
symphony appears to end
only a few minutes into
the first movement, the
first passage, as the
music fades away to
almost-silence, after a
start of flying colours.
But then there is still
something, a small motive
(first heard in the
initial sound-waves)
which reappears,
hesitant, but persistent,
and this embryo is what
leads on the musical
progression. An agitated
section of many
instrumental voices comes
next, until all the
voices become obsessed
with the same phrase, a
see-saw motive based on
thirds. This section
evolves into almost
martial ferocity, when
broken off by a tutti
descent into an extreme
bass-world (a bass-world
which actually permeates
the whole symphony,
emplyoing instruments
that I have never used
before: double-bass tuba,
double-bass trombone,
double-bass clarinet, and
bass flute).The second
movement, the second
passage, apparently takes
off where the first
passage ended, but now
the events are more
ambiguous, and the same
music may be perceived as
fast-moving one moment
and slow-moving the next.
This section is a kind of
passacaglia, the
characteristic baroque
bass-variation.Without a
break follows the third
and last passage, in a
contrasting high
register. The music is
rhythmically knotty as
well as freely flowing.
As in the beginning of
the symphony, a
never-ending descent or
fall breaks off the
events, and at the very
end a delta of new
beginnings, of other
worlds, is revealed
....The symphony is
dedicated to Helle, my
wife. - Per Norgard.

“'Kal
aviuka' is an incarnated
figure of the Buddha, the
head of which looks human
and the lower half like a
bird with wings. In my
work I would like to
express the unity of man
and nature, a conception
deeply rooted in
traditional Chinese art
and culture, with a
modern awareness. The
musical material derives
from traditional Chinese
instrumental works which
have birds as their
subjects. In particular,
these are passages
(neither sung nor
melodic) that imitate
birdsong or depict the
forms of birds by means
of various instruments.
These musical sections
mostly consist of a
combination of specially
selected musical
instruments with special
techniques of sound
production. My aim in
composing this piece was
to find out how these
sounds could be
transferred into an
orchestra in order to
develop a new musical
vocabulary and new means
of expression.â€
