Shout
along, stomp along, or
just plain enjoy! This
infectious, rhythmic song
will keep the students
engaged and be fun to
play. The groove is easy
to learn, even by ear.
One Foot, arranged by
veteran writer Victor
López, is the lead
single for Walk the
Moon's fourth studio LP
What if Nothing. This
dynamic American rock and
roll band has once again
delivered a high-energy
pop song, which hit No. 1
on Billboard's
Alternative Songs. One
Foot follows the band's
breakout hit Shut Up and
Dance, which also hit No.

Enjoy the disco-like
groove with a tribal
chant chorus custom-made
for shouting along, which
has become the group's
signature foot-stomping
sound.

Over the
years Janácek’s
uvre has increasingly
received the recognition
it so richly merits and
performances of his works
are becoming more and
more frequent. This
development is, however,
offset by a manuscript
tradition so disorderly
that some of
Janácek’s works
continue, as before, to
be played in versions
which are heavily
adapted, corrupt or
otherwise contrary to the
composer’s
intentions. Thus, a
critical edition of
Janácek’s music
is indispensable for
scholars and performers
alike.
This editon
presents an authentic
printed text based on all
available sources for
each work. In addition to
the musical text, each
volume also contains a
critical report (Czech /
German), a rendition of
deleted or rejected
versions, and a
comprehensive appendix of
facsimiles.

Leoš
Janácek’s
symphonic fragment Dunaj
(The Danube) dates from
the period of the
composition of
“Katya
Kabanovaâ€. The
composer was not
concerned with a
musical-picturesque
description of a river
landscape, but with the
mythical link between
women’s destinies
and
water.
“Pale
green waves of the
Danube! There are so many
of you, and one followed
by another. You remain
interlocked in a
continuous flow. You
surprise yourselves where
you ended up – on
the Czech shores! Look
back downstream and you
will have an impression
of what you have left
behind in your haste. It
pleases you here. Here I
will rest with my
symphony.†Thus
Leoš Janácek
described the idea behind
the composition project
which occupied him in
1923/24. However, after
further work, it remained
incomplete in 1926. His
“symphonyâ€
entitled Dunaj has
survived as a
continuously-notated,
four-movement bundle of
sketches in score form.
It is one of the works
which occupied him until
his death. The scholarly
reconstruction by the two
Brno composers Miloš
Štedron and Leoš
Faltus closely follows
the original
manuscript.
A
whole conglomeration of
motifs stands behind the
incomplete work. What at
first seems like a
counterpart to
Smetana’s Vltava,
in fact doesn’t
turn out to be a musical
depiction of the Danube.
On the contrary, the
fateful link between the
destiny of women, water
and death permeates the
range of motifs found in
the work. It seems to be
no coincidence that
Janácek, whilst
working on the opera
Katya Kabanova, in which
the Volga, as the river
bringing death plays an
almost mythical role,
planned a Danube
symphony, and that its
content was linked with
the destiny of women: in
the sketches, two poems
were found which may have
provided the stimulus for
several movements of the
symphony. He copied a
poem by Pavla
Kriciková into the
second movement, in which
a girl remarks that
whilst bathing in a pond,
she was observed by a
man. Filled with shame,
the young naked woman
jumps into the water and
drowns. The outer
movements likewise draw
on the poem
“Lola†by the
Czech writer Sonja
Špálová,
published under the
pseudonym Alexander
Insarov. This is about a
prostitute who asks for
her heart’s
desire: she is given a
palace, but then goes on
a long search for it and
is finally no longer
wanted by anyone. She
suffers, feels cold and
just wants a warm fire.
Janácek adds his
remark “she jumps
into the Danube†to
the inconclusive
ending.
To these
tangible literary models
is added Adolf
Veselý’s verbal
account which reports
that the composer wanted
to portray “in the
Danube, the female sex
with all its passions and
driving forcesâ€.
The third movement is
said to characterise the
city of Vienna in the
form of a
woman.
It is
evident that in his
composition, Janácek
was not striving for a
simple, natural lyricism.
The River Danube is
masculine in the Slavic
language –
“ten Dunajâ€
– and assumes an
almost mythical
significance in the
national character,
indeed often also a role
bringing death. The four
movements are motivically
conceived. Elements of
sound painting, small
wave-like figures in the
first movement, motoric,
driving movements in the
third are obvious
evocations of water. And
the content and the
literary level are easy
to discover. The
“tremolo of the
four timpaniâ€,
which was amongst
Janácek’s first
inspirations, appears in
the second movement. It
is not difficult to
retrace in it the fate of
the drowning bather. The
oboe enters lamentoso
towards the end of the
movement over timpani
playing tremolo, its
descending figure is
taken over by the flute,
then upper strings and
intensified considerably.
The motif of drowning
– Lola’s
despair – returns
again in the fourth
movement in the clarinet,
before the work ends
abruptly and
dramatically.
One
special effect is the use
of a soprano voice in the
motor-driven third
movement. The singer
vocalises mainly in
parallel with the solo
oboe, but also in
dialogue with other parts
such as the viola
d’amore, which
Janácek used in
several late works as a
sort of “voice of
loveâ€.

Librett
o by James Fenton
In a
make-believe world, based
loosely on Bombay and
Kashmir, the story of
Haroun is a tale of a
fight between the free
imagination and the
powers that oppose it.
Haroun's father, Rashid,
the Shah of Blah, is a
professional and gifted
story-teller, a popular
figure much in demand at
public events. Feeling
neglected, his wife is
persuaded to leave him
and run away with a
neighbor. After this,
Rashid loses confidence
in his powers of
story-tellling, haunted
by his son's question:
'What's the use of
stories that aren't even
there?' Rashid is due to
speak at a political
rally to be held by the
sinister politician,
Snooty Buttoo. He is told
that if he does not come
up with his usual fund of
tales, his tongue will be
cut out. As Rashid
despairs, Haroun
determines to rescue his
father's talent - a
project in which he
learns that the Ocean of
the Sea of Stories, the
source of all stories, is
being polluted by the
enemy of all stories, the
evil Khattam Shud. In a
series of brilliant
imagined adventures,
Haroun succeeds in
defeating the powers of
darkness, and restoring
happiness to his family,
and to the city where he
lives.
Salman
Ruishdie's children's
book, written in the
aftermath of the fatwa,
has an effervescent style
which is full of rhymes
and wordplay. The
libretto stays very close
to the spirit of the
original, conjuring up a
fantasy world in which,
nonetheless, one never
loses sight of harsh
political reality and the
great issues of freedom
of speech and
imagination. -- James
Fenton, 1998

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

Joachim
Raff's Fifth Symphony
Lenore op. 177, composed
in 1872, reveals the
composer as a
representative of the
middle ground between
Neo-German aesthetics and
the symphonic tradition.
It owes its name to G. A.
Burger's ballade, which
is the programmatic basis
of the final movement.
Using this literary
model, Raff oriented
himself to the Berlioz
program symphonies and
the Liszt symphonic-poem
concept, on the one hand,
but on the other, he let
the three preceding
movements follow
traditional symphonic
form. Raff conducted the
Lenore symphony's
premiere in December 1872
in a concert by the
Furstliche Hofkapelle in
Sondershausen. The
concert went to his
satisfaction, although
the audience evidently
did not know what to make
of the work: [...] and
the symphony [...] was
played before this
faintly musical party.
Essentially for the
greater glory of God and
my edification, less for
that of the said public,
which seems to have been
rather horrified by it.
His friend Hans von Bulow
had, however, a great
pleasure in hearing the
symphony the following
year in Berlin. In her
preface, the editor Iris
Eggenschwiler provides
detailed information
about the work's genesis,
documents Raff's ideas
and intentions, and
facilitates a
comprehensive orientation
within the historical
context. Breitkopf &
Hartel is now presenting
for the first time with
this symphony an
orchestral work by Raff
in a modern Urtext

continuing its
collaboration with the

This

performance aspect of
Haydn’s Symphony
in G major that has long
been misunderstood: in m.
1 of the second movement
(Largo) the viola,
violoncello and several
wind instrument parts are
marked
“soloâ€,
indicating that they play
important motifs or
themes and ought to stand
out. Contrary to
other editions, the
“soloâ€
marking in the
violoncello should not be
construed as indicating a
solo instrument with the
remaining cellos doubling
the basses. Rather, the
cellos should play as a
section so as to stand
out all the more
clearly.

Brown, Bruce
Alan.
To conclude
Series II (Dance Dramas)
from the Gluck Complete
Edition (GGA), this
volume of Christoph
Willibald Gluck's
earliest contributions to
the genre comprises six
ballet scores from 1759
(La Promenade, Les
Jardiniers, Les Turcs,
Les Savoiards, Les Amours
de Flore et Zphire, and
Le Suisse) as well as the
ballet music for Les
Vendanges, which dates
from 1761. These works
belong to the
compositions â also
called Krumau ballets
because of their musical
transmission â which
Gluck created in Vienna
between 1759 and 1765 for
the court theatres in
Laxenburg and
Schönbrunn as well as
the
Kärntnertortheater,
and which are to be
attributed to him as a
ballet composer around
the middle of the 18th
century in Viennese
theatre life based on the
considerations presented
in the general
preface.
Together
with volumes II/3 to
II/5, ballet music by
Gluck is available whose
sources come from the
former Schwarzenberg
court archive in Ceský
Krumlov, Czech Republic,
and which until the
Velvet Revolution of
1989, lay behind the Iron
Curtain remaining largely
inaccessible and
unexplored by Western
scholars. These volumes
reflect two fundamental
developments in Gluck
research: on the one
hand, they provide a
significantly expanded,
historically more
accurate idea of what it
meant to compose for the
ballet in the 18th
century; on the other
hand, they bring to light
an immense treasure trove
of sources formerly of
Viennese
provenance.
In
addition to the detailed
introduction by this
volumeâs editor on
the ballet choreographies
of Gasparo Angiolini and
Carlo Bernardi, on the
formation of the ballet
troupes of the Viennese
theatres in Gluck's early
years there, on ballet
types and genres, as well
as a detailed account of
the individual titles,
the volume includes a
general preface to
volumes II/3 through II/5
by Bruce Alan Brown,
which discusses Gluck's
ballet music in Vienna in
general as well as the
development of research
into this genre.
Extensive illustrations
(partly from the
so-called Durazzo
Collection) with
reference to the
choreographies enrich the
discussions. The ballet
works, which have

Bach's
harpsichord concerti,
extremely popular among
pianists, are presumably
reworkings of pieces
originally written for
the violin. Bach,
however, succeeded in
transferring the diverse
idiosyncrasies of violin
technique to the keyboard
with such ingenuity that
most of today's pianists
also include these
concerti in their
standard repertoire. The
first concerto in D minor
is perhaps the most
popular - not least
because of its jaunty
outer movements and the
eminently forceful solo
part. Now, as a prelude
to a series of all of
Bach's harpsichord
concerti, G. Henle
Publishers presents a
piano reduction and study
edition (score) of the
D-minor concerto. None
other than András
Schiff, the outstanding
Bach expert, has provided
fingering
suggestions.

Jacob vs. Angel
is a piece about crisis
of conscience, ambiguity,
and misinterpretation
expressed through the
depiction of a major
battle, the goal of which
is never made entirely
clear. Based on the
biblical story, the work
is highly programmatic,
with each of the six
movements reflecting a
corresponding stanza from
the titular poem by Alice
Weaver Flaherty. The
piece was originally
composed as a vehicle for
virtuoso organist
Heinrich Christensen, and
later orchestrated. The
first movement introduces
the main musical
material--a five note
motive, the intervals of
which are reorganized to
create melodic and
harmonic development
throughout the piece. The
second, third, and fourth
movements depict the
brutal fight between
Jacob and the angel, and
lead one to the next
without pause. The fifth
movement is about the
post-battle scene, and
the final movement is an
epilogue, reframing the
ideas from the previous
movements. The music
elucidates various
actions from the Flaherty
poem—sand
skittering across the
desert, aggressive acts
of violence and
sensuality between the
protagonists, the beating
of wings, feathers
blowing in the wind, etc.
But beyond the music's
more literal elements,
the work is designed to
express an abstract state
of mind, a sense of
unease, and anticipation
of what is yet to come.

The twelve
“London
Symphoniesâ€
comprise the sublime
final statement of
Haydn's symphonic oeuvre.
They were written for the
London impresario Johann
Peter Salomon, and Haydn
himself conducted their
premieres during his
lengthy stays in the
English metropolis in
1791/92 and 1794/95.
Hailing from 1791, the
Symphony in D major no.
96 numbers among the
first symphonies written
in and for London. The
epithet given to it by
posterity, “The
Miracleâ€, was
bestowed erroneously, for
the miracle - that no one
was injured when a
chandelier fell during a
concert - took place
during a performance of a
different Haydn symphony.
And yet it is a miracle
of musical esprit
nonetheless; from the
subtle relations between
the motives consisting of
broken triads that open
all four movements, to
the virtuosic shifts in
mood owing to surprising
harmonies, Haydn here
submits a prime example
of how he develops
musical ideas. This study
edition adopts the
musical text of the Haydn
Complete Edition, thereby
guaranteeing the highest
scholarly quality. An
informative preface and a
brief Critical Report
make the handy score an
ideal companion for all
current and soon-to-be
Haydn fans.

ever-changing time
signatures that will
intrigue and challenge
the young string

mood shifts in the piece,

Luckily, and Happily ever
after. But what, exactly,
is the story? That's up
to your students and your

charming piece is simple
rhythmically and

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.

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.

Franz von
Schober.
In late
September or early
October 1821 Schubert and
his close friend, Franz
von Schober, vacationed
in the countryside of
Lower Austria. Their
first stopover was at
Ochsenburg Castle, which
belonged to the Bishop of
St. Pölten (a close
relative of
Schober’s), after
which they moved on to
St. Pölten itself.
Roughly a year earlier,
two stage works by
Schubert had been
performed in Vienna: the
one-act singspiel Die
Zwillingsbrüder and
the melodrama Die
Zauberharfe. The
librettos were both
written by the seasoned
Viennese playwright Georg
von Hofmann, who blamed
the press for the
indifferent reception the
two works were given by
the audience. Schubert
and Schober now decided,
it would seem, to write a
grand romantic opera
uninfluenced by the
workaday world of the
theatre and beholden
solely to their own ideas
of what an opera should
be.
Not until 24
June 1854 was the opera
finally performed in
Weimar, under the baton
of Franz Liszt. It only
achieved success,
however, in an
arrangement by Johann
Nepomuk Fuchs that was
staged on many German and
Austrian stages in
1881–2, allegedly
with brilliant
acclaim.

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.

Of all his
symphonies, Mahler gave
the Fourth, his favorite
and problem child, his
most particular
attention. The Heavenly
Life, a humoresque
composed in 1892 for
soprano and piano, which
he already wanted to use
in the final movement of
the Third Symphony under
the title What the Child
Tells Me, ultimately
became the nucleus and
final movement of the
Fourth. Even after
publication in 1901,
Mahler kept repeatedly
refining the
orchestration. His maxim
not without my retouching
led to a whole series of
revised reprints. It is
probably no coincidence
that Mahler performed
especially the Fourth
Symphony in his last two
New York concerts in
February 1911, using this
opportunity to review
once again the score and
parts. This performance
material with his
retouching served as the
main source for the new
edition. Furthermore,
included for the first
time were corrections and
annotations in
conjunction with
performances of the
Fourth, which Mahler
entered into the scores
of conductors such as
Mengelberg and
Wickenhauser. PB 5664 has
been awarded the Presto
Sheet Music Award
2020.
