Abstract Mosaics was inspired by the mosaic artwork of Sonia King. By nature, mosaics are synergistic - many small pieces structured together to make an artistic whole. Needham's work vividly captures this construction from small elements. Each of the work's four sections highlights a particular sonic quality, and each of the instruments, or pieces of the quintet, works in concert with one another creating the musical landscape, instead of the traditional model of one voice carrying the main melodic content. Abstract Mosaics was commissioned by the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Faculty Brass Quintet in celebration of the group's 25th anniversary.

By their nature, mosaics are synergistic – that is to say, many small pieces make up the whole of the artwork. The musical work attempts to capture this idea of synergy. Cast in four main sections, each part highlights a particular sonic quality unique to the brass quintet. Like mosaic artwork, the instruments, or “pieces” of the quintet, work in concert with one another to create the musical landscape instead of the more traditional modelof having one voice carry the main melodic content while others accompany.I felt this was particularly important to equally showcase the talents of all members of the UW-Whitewater Quintet as they celebrate 25 years of dedication to performing as a group.– Clint Needham.

The powerful intensity of colour and expressiveness of the mosaic images in the apse and altar area of the late antique church of San Vitale (from the 6th century) in Ravenna made a lasting impression on Zsigmond Szathmáry. The fascination of how imposing images emerge from tiny, luminous mosaic cubes and vividly tell the biblical stories inspired the composer to write his piano piece: In my composition, I tried to follow this path: to organise the smallest coloured and angular glass cubes â?? that is, the smallest coloured and angular musical miniature events â?? in such a way that they constantly grow and finally culminate in a tangible musical statement. Despite this seemingly archaic procedure, the composer wants his piece to be understood as a continuation of the virtuoso piano music tradition of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Mosaikbilder â?? (Mosaic Pictures) are dedicated to the great Hungarian pianist Zsoltán Kocsis, for whom they were written in 2012.

New edition of this charming suite by the British composer Richard Walthew (1872-1951), originally published in 1900. The work was frequently performed by Lionel Tertis over his long career; his fingerings and bowings are of great interest to students and scholars, so these are included for reference in the viola cue stave in the piano score; the viola part itself is left 'clean' for performers to make their own decisions In 1943 Tertis premiered A Mosaic in Ten Pieces in the version for viola and orchestra in a concert broadcast by the BBC. The performance was reviewed in the Musical Times: “It is the work of a happy craftsman, genial, jesting (so few composers joke now). In a slow movement Walthew is at his serene best. Brahms would have enjoyed the Valsette, and Elgar beamed upon other parts. Tertis's phrasing is the best lesson I can imagine for any young musician...”.

At First Light was commissioned by Eric Bruskin, a resident of Philadelphia, USA, in memory of his mother. Eric had a longstanding enthusiasm for my work, and I was touched to be the person he approached for a task which is both a privilege and a daunting responsibility. In a sense, no music can ever measure up to the weight of love or the hope of consolation vested in it under such circumstances - but in memory I carry the deaths of both my own parents, and I was able to draw upon that. Eric's fondness for my Cello Sonata (itself written in memoriam) led him to ask that I include a solo 'cello part in the new work - but his attachment also to my polyphonic sacred choral writing meant that he wanted a centrepiece which would be both a showcase of that approach and the celebration of a life well lived. Therefore, the seven movements of At First Light arrange themselves as a series of slow meditations surrounding an exuberant 9-minute motet in which the lamenting cello falls temporarily silent.

Eric's Jewish faith meant that approaching an agnostic humanist brought up within the Anglican tradition was hardly free of problems! Gradually, though, I was able to win his approval for a collated mosaic of texts. This embraces some liturgical Latin (necessary for the motet) as the shared preserve of broad western culture in general, but balances it with a secular approach to loss, celebration, remembrance and the many shades of our mourning those whom we see no longer. Eric was adamant that he did not want the title Requiem; but what has emerged is still a form of semi-secular Requiem in all but name, taking its title instead from a phrase in the poem by Thomas Blackburn set as the third movement. This seemed to suggest succinctly how the loss of one very close to us is an awakening into an unfamiliar world where everything is changed. Following the exuberant central movement, the texts by the Lebanese-born Kahlil Gibran and the US, Kentuckian poet Wendell Berry first address the departed loved one directly, then place us within an imaginary funeral cortege, where the perennial and universal in human experience become personal without subscribing explicitly to any particular faith (or lack of it). The final text of all is a translation of a Hebraic prayer, requested and provided by Eric Bruskin, which serves to mirror its Latin counterpart heard at the outset.

Throughout , the lamenting cello represents a commentary on the experience articulated in the text. It evokes and, in a sense, tries to embrace and sanctify the individual existential journeys of the bereft, as they in turn seek to make their own sense of what the short-lived Second World War poet Alun Lewis called 'the unbearable beauty of the dead' (movement 5).

In a modern world hostage to ever greater menace, displacement, bloodshed and anguish, I hope fervently that this music not only brings a measure of solace to the person who commissioned it, but also makes its own small contribution to bailing out the sinking ship of humanity.

Six Bagatelles is a set of whimsical character pieces which, in my own composer’s perception, provided balance to some of the heavier works I had written over the previous several years. The first movement, Humming, not only hums along like a well-tuned engine, but it also evokes a melody that someone might actually hum. Let Evening Come is an arrangement of a song, for baritone or mezzo-soprano, flute, and piano, on Jane Kenyon’s poem of the same name—part of a cycle from 1994 called Night Will Blossom. The title Melancholy speaks for itself, as does that of the fifth movement, Solace. Skirmish started out as a march, but when changes of meter emerged in the composing of the piece, I realized it was no longer marchable, though still martial in character. The final movement is a Mosaic in two senses: the accompaniment in the strings in the outer sections of the piece is made up of small bits of material, combining to create an overall texture; and its middle section is made up of fragments of material heard in earlier movements. —Mark Carlson Flute & String Quartet Composed: 1995 Published by: Pacific Serenades.

The first thing that appears in a Sonatas' volume is the thematic index, which reproduces the first bars of all of them. In my Sonata I have tried to reproduce an accumulative scheme of some imaginary sonatas' first bars, as a kind of fragmented mosaic made by minimal elements. Composed in Kristiansand (Norway) during Summer 1995, it was premiered by Humberto Quagliatta, at the Hamburg (Germany) Hochschule fur Musik, on October 20th, same year.

«Come se, nell’inserire al posto giusto le tessere di un mosaico, mi accorgessi che ciascuna di esse origina attorno a sé un ulteriore arcipelago di lacune. La storia è così».

Opera ambiziosamente trivalente: racconto di detection in cui i tetti da scoperchiare – come gli assassini che vi si riparano sotto – sono più di uno, storia cui i puntini sulle i non bastano mai e, surrettiziamente, riflessione metodologica sulla storia e sui modi di metterli, e di ometterli, questi benedetti puntini sulle i.

Da molti, troppi anni lo studio del canto si e ridotto a un grottesco rompicapo meccanico-muscolare, spesso corredato da risibili tentativi di giustificazione scientifica. Che rapporto ci sia tra queste tecniche e il vero canto e presto detto: lo stesso che intercorre tra un triciclo e un'aquila... Con questa differenza: che il triciclo, per quanto elementare nella sua meccanica, assolve perfettamente alla sua funzione, mentre i metodi di canto attuali (anche dando per buona l'ipotesi assurda che la voce sia una macchina) si basano su una logica funzionale talmente astrusa che, se applicata a una qualsiasi macchina reale, ne causerebbe automaticamente l'immediata rottura. Questo e vero sia per il canto classico, sia per il canto moderno, che dal punto di vista tecnico-vocale non ha fatto che riciclare il peggio di quanto e stato prodotto dal canto classico.
Il crescente successo di queste tecniche suscita degli interrogativi sulla sua causa, che tra gli altri produce questo effetto comico-surreale: la diffusione epidemica di una sorta di canto 'virtuale', nel senso che costringe i suoi 'utenti' a stare rigorosamente lontani dai palcoscenici reali, rimanendo a casa propria a cantare con la stessa perfezione (immaginaria) dei cantanti piu ammirati e applauditi...
Una 'magia' cosi stupefacente e resa possibile solo da una cosa: il potere di suggestione ipnotica che promana dall'idea-idolo della tecnologia scientifica. Il risultato concreto dell'applicazione di questa ideologia a un fenomeno come il canto, che non e meccanico, ma senso-motorio e sinestetico, e la distorsione acustica. Questa distorsione acustica puo essere piu o meno grave, puo essere 'giustificata' con le piu svariate teorie estetiche, sociologiche e persino 'scientifiche', ma sempre porta allo stesso risultato, che e la risonanza forzata, l'affaticamento vocale e, a lungo andare, l'irreversibile logorio dello strumento voce e la distruzione stessa dell'oggetto di studio: il canto.
Risalire alla fonte originaria del vero canto e del suo vero controllo, che non e esterno, localizzato e meccanicistico, ma interiore, centrale e olistico, e l'obiettivo che si e posto l'autore di questo libro nella sua ricerca vocale, durata anni, che in questo libro viene raccontata. Essa lo ha portato a conoscere i piu noti cantanti e studiosi della vocalita del secolo scorso (alcuni dei quali sono entrati nella storia del canto): Carlo Bergonzi, Giuseppe Taddei, Gerard Souzay, Lajos Kozma, Richard Miller, Rodolfo Celletti, Giuseppe Giacomini e molti altri. Ognuno di loro ha dato all'autore una tessera di quel mosaico della voce, il cui disegno originale e compito di ogni serio studente di canto ritrovare in prima persona dentro di se e poi 'incarnare' con la propria voce per sempre.
