I
became interested in the
work of Plato through my
friend and collaborator,
the writer and
philosopher Paul
Woodruff. Paul's new
translation, with
Alexander Nehamas, of the
Symposium gave me
insights into ancient
Greek ways of thinking
about Love, Beauty, and
Wisdom -- and managed to
keep the earthy, and
often bawdy side of it
all in full view. But
their new translation of
Plato's later dialogue
Phaedrus went even
further: the beauty of
the speeches is
breathtaking, and the
discourse itself is
enough to keep one awake
at night. Basically the
Great Speech of Socrates
in the Phaedrus dialogue
has to do with the place
of Eros in the world, and
with the conflict in the
soul between fleshly
pleasure and philosophic
discovery. I will not
attempt to encapsulate
this brilliant discourse
in a program note:
suffice it to say that
reading it gave rise to
my two-sided work for
clarinet, violin, and
piano, Phaedrus. The
first movement represents
the Philosophic life, and
is thus subtitled
Apollo's Lyre (Invocation
and Hymn). It begins with
an unaccompanied melody
for the clarinet, which
(after a pair of
harp-like flourishes for
the piano, expands into
an accompanied canon. The
voices in the dialogue
(clarinet and violin)
follow each other by a
prescribed number of
beats, but the music is
totally devoid of any
meter at all. The piano,
representing the lyre,
accompanies this lyric
love-feast with repeated
strummed chords. The
canon has three large
sections, and ends with
violin echoing the
unaccompanied clarinet
invocation as the sound
of the lyre fades. The
second movement, called
Dionysus' Dream-Orgy
(Ritual Dance) presents,
after a brief
introduction, another
kind of unmetered music.
Rather than long lyric
flights of philosophic
song, however, this time
we hear a unison dance of
unbridled energy and
sensual transport. The
piece soon forms itself
into a loose arch form,
with contrasting metered
dance sections divided by
the unison unmetered orgy
tune. Midway through the
movement, Apollo's melody
returns from the first
movement, but it is a
temporary reminiscence.
The orgiastic dance
returns, reaches a
climax, and ends with a
stomping of feet. While
Plato asserts that a
proper balance between
lust and reason is
necessary in all men, he
(naturally) gives the nod
to Philosophy as the
better choice in which to
live. Not so in my music:
the two sides are meant
to coexist and to
complement each other. No
sides are taken. Phaedrus
was commissioned of the
Verdehr Trio by Michigan
State University. It is
dedicated to the Vedehr
Trio with great affection
and admiration.

These six
short pieces might more
readily be described as
fantasies, each with its
own sound-world but
linked by shared
material. The mood of
each of these short
movements is guided by an
imaginary landscape, one
shadowed by the blackened
tree, a far-away song,
shadows past, a
quickening moon,
forgotten voices, and by
the harrowed land. The
title of the last
movement plays on the
word harrow, something
that is used to break up
the soil, but also
bringing with it
suggestions of a land
both pained and
wounded.

Es war
1996, als mir Christoph
Poppen, der damalige
Leiter des Munchener
Kammerorchesters, von
einem kuriosen Konzert in
Munsing (Ammerland)
erzahlte: wahrend eines
seiner Konzerte mit dem
Orchester in der dortigen
Kirche gab es, fur alle
hor- und sichtbar, eines
der grossten Unwetter,
das die Region je gesehen
hatte. Dabei schlug der
Blitz ein in eine Art
Wahrzeichen des Ortes,
eine mehrere Jahrhunderte
alte Linde. Unter den
Zuhorern damals: die dort
lebende Dichterin und
Schriftstellerin Diana
Kempff. Sie war
unmittelbar erschuttert
vom Tod der Linde und
schrieb unter diesem
Eindruck einige Gedichte.
Christoph Poppen wiederum
war - wie in vielen
anderen Zusammenhangen
auch - genialer
Vermittler und stellte
alsbald den Kontakt zu
mir her. Die Idee: am Ort
des Geschehens, in der
Munsinger Kirche, solle
ein Jahr spater die
Urauffuhrung einer Art
Requiem fur diesen Baum,
der so vieles 'gesehen'
hatte, erklingen. Im
Rahmen der Holzhauser
Musiktagen mit den Texten
von Diana Kempff und
meiner (noch zu
schreibenden) Musik.Es
gab bald eine wunderbare,
sehr intensive Begegnung
von Diana Kempff und mir,
bei der sie etwas fur
Schriftsteller nicht
gerade Typisches tat: sie
stellte mir frei, aus den
vorliegenden Gedichten
nach Belieben lediglich
Teile, sogar nur
Zeilenfragmente zu
verwenden und auch die
Reihenfolge nach meinen
Bedurfnissen anzuordnen
und zu gestalten. Sie
begriff sofort (und
wunschte!), dass durch
die Musik ohnehin etwas
Drittes, etwas ganz
Anderes entstehen wurde.
Die Tatsache, dass wir
Monate spater eine
sichtlich bewegte Diana
Kempff auf die Buhne
holen durfte, freute uns
alle besonders. Ihre
Lyrik ist Ausdruck einer
offenkundig zutiefst
gequalten Seele und kommt
uns oft
wunderlich-versponnen
entgegen. Einer
zerbrechlichen Zartheit
steht eine bisweilen fast
brutale Harte
unversohnlich gegenuber.
Das Schubert'sche 'Fremd
bin ich eingezogen' gilt
fur sie in besonderer
Weise und aussert sich in
ihren Versen in einer
Nahe zu allem Fremden
(trotz des gleichzeitigen
manischen Umkreisens des
Eigenen und der eigenen
Erinnerung), Abseitigen
und auch (bei aller
gleichzeitigen Skepsis)
Ubernaturlichen. Dieses
geisterhaft-spukige
Element versuchte ich
durch meine Textauswahl
und mit musikalischen
Mitteln in diesen nun
'Sieben Abgesangen' zu
verdeutlichen. Das erste
Stuck ist eine karge
Studie uber das Verrinnen
der Zeit, das Nichts; das
Zweite beschwort den
Regen (den
heilbringenden) herbei,
der dann spater -
wenngleich mit
entsetzlicher Wirkung -
auch kommt. Den dritten
Abgesang habe ich 'Tanz
der toten Seelen'
betitelt; es ist ein
Zwiefacher, der jedoch
durch seine
duster-halbseidene
'Wiener' Chromatik alles
Liebenswurdig-Oberbayeris
che langst verloren hat.
Das klanglich vielleicht
avancierteste und
dichteste Stuck ist der
vierte Abgesang, der ganz
aus der Perspektive der
Linde selbst erzahlt
wird. Der funfte Abgesang
zu den Worten 'Und wenn
der Tod so kommen mag'
ist im Stile einer
traurigen Volksweise
bewusst schlicht
gehalten. Wahrend der
sechste Satz in seinem
expressionistischen
Gestus nicht ungefahrlich
das Monodram streift, ist
es schliesslich die Seele
(die ausgehauchte, die
weiterexistierende?), die
wortlich den letzten
Abgesang uber die Baume
und die Seelen pragt.
Diana Kempffs Gedichte,
der Enthusiasmus
Christoph Poppens, die
phantastischen
Urauffuhrungs-Interpreten
, allen voran die
Sangerin Juliane Banse,
haben mich zur
Komposition dieser
'Sieben Abgesange auf
eine tote Linde'
angeregt.Die 'Sieben
Abgesange' sind nunmehr
auch eine Erinnerung an
die erst jungst
verstorbene Diana Kempff.

Char
les Camilleri (1931 -
2009) was a Maltese
composer. As a teenager,
he composed a number of
works based on folk music
and legends of his native
Malta. He moved from his
early influences by
Maltese folk music to a
musical form in which
nothing is fixed and his
compositions evolve from
themselves with a sense
of fluency and
inevitability. He
composed over 100 works
for orchestra, chamber
ensemble, voice and solo
instruments. Camilleri's
work has been performed
throughout the world and
his research of folk
music and improvisation,
the influences of the
sounds of Africa and
Asia, together with the
academic study of
European music, helped
him create a universal
style. Camilleri is
recognized in Malta as
one of the major
composers of his
generation. He died on 3
January 2009 at the age
of 77. His funeral took
place two days later at
Naxxar, his long-time
town of residence. Flags
across Malta were flown
at half-mast in tribute
to him. Just like Bach's
6 suites for cello solo,
these 6 arabesques are
composed of a number of
distinct movements which
follow the suite
principle. The melodies
in these 6 arabesques are
influenced by
Mediterranean folk
music.
