I composed
the Piano Concerto in two
stages: the first three
movements during the
years 1985-86, the next
two in 1987, the final
autograph of the last
movement was ready by
January, 1988. The
concerto is dedicated to
the American conductor
Mario di Bonaventura. The
markings of the movements
are the following: 1.
Vivace molto ritmico e
preciso 2. Lento e
deserto 3. Vivace
cantabile 4. Allegro
risoluto 5. Presto
luminoso.The first
performance of the
three-movement Concerto
was on October 23rd, 1986
in Graz. Mario di
Bonaventura conducted
while his brother,
Anthony di Bonaventura,
was the soloist. Two days
later the performance was
repeated in the Vienna
Konzerthaus. After
hearing the work twice, I
came to the conclusion
that the third movement
is not an adequate
finale; my feeling of
form demanded
continuation, a
supplement. That led to
the composing of the next
two movements. The
premiere of the whole
cycle took place on
February 29th, 1988, in
the Vienna Konzerthaus
with the same conductor
and the same pianist. The
orchestra consisted of
the following: flute,
oboe, clarinet, bassoon,
horn, trumpet, tenor
trombone, percussion and
strings. The flautist
also plays the piccoIo,
the clarinetist, the alto
ocarina. The percussion
is made up of diverse
instruments, which one
musician-virtuoso can
play. It is more
practical, however, if
two or three musicians
share the instruments.
Besides traditional
instruments the
percussion part calls
also for two simple wind
instruments: the swanee
whistle and the
harmonica. The string
instrument parts (two
violins, viola, cello and
doubles bass) can be
performed soloistic since
they do not contain
divisi. For balance,
however, the ensemble
playing is recommended,
for example 6-8 first
violins, 6-8 second, 4-6
violas, 4-6 cellos, 3-4
double basses. In the
Piano Concerto I realized
new concepts of harmony
and rhythm. The first
movement is entirely
written in bimetry:
simultaneously 12/8 and
4/4 (8/8). This relates
to the known triplet on a
doule relation and in
itself is nothing new.
Because, however, I
articulate 12 triola and
8 duola pulses, an
entangled, up till now
unheard kind of polymetry
is created. The rhythm is
additionally complicated
because of asymmetric
groupings inside two
speed layers, which means
accents are
asymmetrically
distributed. These
groups, as in the talea
technique, have a fixed,
continuously repeating
rhythmic structures of
varying lengths in speed
layers of 12/8 and 4/4.
This means that the
repeating pattern in the
12/8 level and the
pattern in the 4/4 level
do not coincide and
continuously give a
kaleidoscope of renewing
combinations. In our
perception we quickly
resign from following
particular rhythmical
successions and that what
is going on in time
appears for us as
something static,
resting. This music, if
it is played properly, in
the right tempo and with
the right accents inside
particular layers, after
a certain time 'rises, as
it were, as a plane after
taking off: the rhythmic
action, too complex to be
able to follow in detail,
begins flying. This
diffusion of individual
structures into a
different global
structure is one of my
basic compositional
concepts: from the end of
the fifties, from the
orchestral works
Apparitions and
Atmospheres I
continuously have been
looking for new ways of
resolving this basic
question. The harmony of
the first movement is
based on mixtures, hence
on the parallel leading
of voices. This technique
is used here in a rather
simple form; later in the
fourth movement it will
be considerably
developed. The second
movement (the only slow
one amongst five
movements) also has a
talea type of structure,
it is however much
simpler rhythmically,
because it contains only
one speed layer. The
melody is consisted in
the development of a
rigorous interval mode in
which two minor seconds
and one major second
alternate therefore nine
notes inside an octave.
This mode is transposed
into different degrees
and it also determines
the harmony of the
movement; however, in
closing episode in the
piano part there is a
combination of diatonics
(white keys) and
pentatonics (black keys)
led in brilliant,
sparkling quasimixtures,
while the orchestra
continues to play in the
nine tone mode. In this
movement I used isolated
sounds and extreme
registers (piccolo in a
very low register,
bassoon in a very high
register, canons played
by the swanee whistle,
the alto ocarina and
brass with a harmon-mute'
damper, cutting sound
combinations of the
piccolo, clarinet and
oboe in an extremely high
register, also
alternating of a
whistle-siren and
xylophone). The third
movement also has one
speed layer and because
of this it appears as
simpler than the first,
but actually the rhythm
is very complicated in a
different way here. Above
the uninterrupted, fast
and regular basic pulse,
thanks to the asymmetric
distribution of accents,
different types of
hemiolas and inherent
melodical patterns appear
(the term was coined by
Gerhard Kubik in relation
to central African
music). If this movement
is played with the
adequate speed and with
very clear accentuation,
illusory
rhythmic-melodical
figures appear. These
figures are not played
directly; they do not
appear in the score, but
exist only in our
perception as a result of
co-operation of different
voices. Already earlier I
had experimented with
illusory rhythmics,
namely in Poeme
symphonique for 100
metronomes (1962), in
Continuum for harpsichord
(1968), in Monument for
two pianos (1976), and
especially in the first
and sixth piano etude
Desordre and Automne a
Varsovie (1985). The
third movement of the
Piano Concerto is up to
now the clearest example
of illusory rhythmics and
illusory melody. In
intervallic and chordal
structure this movement
is based on alternation,
and also inter-relation
of various modal and
quasi-equidistant harmony
spaces. The tempered
twelve-part division of
the octave allows for
diatonical and other
modal interval
successions, which are
not equidistant, but are
based on the alternation
of major and minor
seconds in different
groups. The tempered
system also allows for
the use of the
anhemitonic pentatonic
scale (the black keys of
the piano). From
equidistant scales,
therefore interval
formations which are
based on the division of
an octave in equal
distances, the
twelve-tone tempered
system allows only
chromatics (only minor
seconds) and the six-tone
scale (the whole-tone:
only major seconds).
Moreover, the division of
the octave into four
parts only minor thirds)
and three parts (three
major thirds) is
possible. In several
music cultures different
equidistant divisions of
an octave are accepted,
for example, in the
Javanese slendro into
five parts, in Melanesia
into seven parts, popular
also in southeastern
Asia, and apart from
this, in southern Africa.
This does not mean an
exact equidistance: there
is a certain tolerance
for the inaccurateness of
the interval tuning.
These exotic for us,
Europeans, harmony and
melody have attracted me
for several years.
However I did not want to
re-tune the piano
(microtone deviations
appear in the concerto
only in a few places in
the horn and trombone
parts led in natural
tones). After the period
of experimenting, I got
to pseudo- or
quasiequidistant
intervals, which is
neither whole-tone nor
chromatic: in the
twelve-tone system, two
whole-tone scales are
possible, shifted a minor
second apart from each
other. Therefore, I
connect these two scales
(or sound resources), and
for example, places occur
where the melodies and
figurations in the piano
part are created from
both whole tone scales;
in one band one six-tone
sound resource is
utilized, and in the
other hand, the
complementary. In this
way whole-tonality and
chromaticism mutually
reduce themselves: a type
of deformed
equidistancism is formed,
strangely brilliant and
at the same time
slanting; illusory
harmony, indeed being
created inside the
tempered twelve-tone
system, but in sound
quality not belonging to
it anymore. The
appearance of such
slantedequidistant
harmony fields
alternating with modal
fields and based on
chords built on fifths
(mainly in the piano
part), complemented with
mixtures built on fifths
in the orchestra, gives
this movement an
individual, soft-metallic
colour (a metallic sound
resulting from
harmonics). The fourth
movement was meant to be
the central movement of
the Concerto. Its
melodc-rhythmic elements
(embryos or fragments of
motives) in themselves
are simple. The movement
also begins simply, with
a succession of
overlapping of these
elements in the mixture
type structures. Also
here a kaleidoscope is
created, due to a limited
number of these elements
- of these pebbles in the
kaleidoscope - which
continuously return in
augmentations and
diminutions. Step by
step, however, so that in
the beginning we cannot
hear it, a compiled
rhythmic organization of
the talea type gradually
comes into daylight,
based on the simultaneity
of two mutually shifted
to each other speed
layers (also triplet and
duoles, however, with
different asymmetric
structures than in the
first movement). While
longer rests are
gradually filled in with
motive fragments, we
slowly come to the
conclusion that we have
found ourselves inside a
rhythmic-melodical whirl:
without change in tempo,
only through increasing
the density of the
musical events, a
rotation is created in
the stream of successive
and compiled, augmented
and diminished motive
fragments, and increasing
the density suggests
acceleration. Thanks to
the periodical structure
of the composition,
always new but however of
the same (all the motivic
cells are similar to
earlier ones but none of
them are exactly
repeated; the general
structure is therefore
self-similar), an
impression is created of
a gigantic, indissoluble
network. Also, rhythmic
structures at first
hidden gradually begin to
emerge, two independent
speed layers with their
various internal
accentuations. This
great, self-similar whirl
in a very indirect way
relates to musical
associations, which came
to my mind while watching
the graphic projection of
the mathematical sets of
Julia and of Mandelbrot
made with the help of a
computer. I saw these
wonderful pictures of
fractal creations, made
by scientists from Brema,
Peitgen and Richter, for
the first time in 1984.
From that time they have
played a great role in my
musical concepts. This
does not mean, however,
that composing the fourth
movement I used
mathematical methods or
iterative calculus;
indeed, I did use
constructions which,
however, are not based on
mathematical thinking,
but are rather craftman's
constructions (in this
respect, my attitude
towards mathematics is
similar to that of the
graphic artist Maurits
Escher). I am concerned
rather with intuitional,
poetic, synesthetic
correspondence, not on
the scientific, but on
the poetic level of
thinking. The fifth, very
short Presto movement is
harmonically very simple,
but all the more
complicated in its
rhythmic structure: it is
based on the further
development of ''inherent
patterns of the third
movement. The
quasi-equidistance system
dominates harmonically
and melodically in this
movement, as in the
third, alternating with
harmonic fields, which
are based on the division
of the chromatic whole
into diatonics and
anhemitonic pentatonics.
Polyrhythms and harmonic
mixtures reach their
greatest density, and at
the same time this
movement is strikingly
light, enlightened with
very bright colours: at
first it seems chaotic,
but after listening to it
for a few times it is
easy to grasp its
content: many autonomous
but self-similar figures
which crossing
themselves. I present my
artistic credo in the
Piano Concerto: I
demonstrate my
independence from
criteria of the
traditional avantgarde,
as well as the
fashionable
postmodernism. Musical
illusions which I
consider to be also so
important are not a goal
in itself for me, but a
foundation for my
aesthetical attitude. I
prefer musical forms
which have a more
object-like than
processual character.
Music as frozen time, as
an object in imaginary
space evoked by music in
our imagination, as a
creation which really
develops in time, but in
imagination it exists
simultaneously in all its
moments. The spell of
time, the enduring its
passing by, closing it in
a moment of the present
is my main intention as a
composer. (Gyorgy

Since
the bassoon is my own
instrument, many people
have asked me why I've
written so little for the
instrument. Beyond my
early Concerto Da Camera
for bassoon and small
orchestra, written for
Leonard Sharrow in 1975,
I've not written a single
piece that features the
bassoon as a solo vehicle
(though I have written
three woodwind quintets).
When I first began
composing seriously,
critics were quick to
point out that my
orchestral writing
revealed nothing of my
roots as a woodwind
player--and bassoonists
asked why my pieces
didn't have more bassoon
solos. Perhaps I was so
aware that people were
looking at me as a
bassoonist/composer that
I was determined to
remove that stigma. Now
that my transformation
from performer to
composer is complete,
however, it's time to
re-address my instrument.
I wanted this new piece
to be serious rather than
whimsical. The Wind Won't
Listen represents my
return to the bassoon as
the highly expressive,
poetic soul that it is.
As such, it
shouldn't come as a
surprise that the piece
is based on a poem, and
that the title of the
piece as well as both its
movement titles come from
lines in that poem. I
first read Beth Gylys'
poem Split at the
MacDowell Colony in the
summer of 2001, and it
made a big impression on
me. My personal life had
been ruptured by divorce
in the preceding year.
This poem, with its dry
insistence on observation
rather than feeling,
expressed the wrung-out
state of my emotions at
the time better than any
I had seen. I set it to
music, as a song,
immediately. In this
format, for voice and
piano, I was able to put
a musical note to every
word of the poem. The
first lines of the poem,
Everyone I know is
crying, or should be
crying, became a melody
that haunted me even
without the words.
The work for bassoon and
string quartet is an
outgrowth of the song.
The first movement is
labeled Romanza, and has
a loose formal arch
structure of A-B-C-B-A,
with B and C being fast
sections framed by the
lamenting A music. In
addition to hearing the
bassoon's first notes
attached to the lines
Everyone I know is
crying, there's a sense
of agitation, of loss, of
longing, and at times of
desperation in the music.
At one point, the opening
theme from Tristan even
appears in the strings.
The second
movement follows, without
a real pause--the
pizzicato final chords of
the first movement
becoming the increasingly
aggressive opening chords
of the second. The
recitative is actually a
foreshadowing of the
basic theme that will be
varied, again to the
words of the song: Life
makes itself without us.
Don't let me tell you how
it is. Go out. Look. The
recitative begins in an
anguished state, but
subsides into more gentle
singing by the end, when
it simply falls into an
ostinato 5/8-3/4 pattern
to begin the variations.
Marked Very steady tempo;
Dancing, this set of
variations consists of
three dances, each faster
than the previous. The
first, in the
aforementioned 5/8-3/4
meter, gives way to a 3/8
scherzo, which in turn
takes on a furious 2/4
scurrying motion. The
music becomes breathless,
almost pulse-less, and an
ethereal theme appears in
the violins while the
rushing music continues,
sotto voce in the
bassoon. This new theme
is also from the song:
Why do I do this? The
wind won't listen. The
bassoon re-states its
Everyone I know is crying
melody from the first
movement, and at length
the 5/8-3/4 music
returns, more subdued
this time. The piece ends
on a major-minor chord,
suspended. The
Wind Won't Listen is
dedicated to the man who
commissioned it,
bassoonist Steven
Dibner--who shares my
passion for poetry and
language. --Dan
Welcher.

The
third symphony by Camille
Saint-Saens, known as the
Organ Symphony, is the
first publication in a
complete
historical-critical
edition of the French
composer's instrumental
works.
I gave
everything I was able to
give in this work. [...]
What I have done here I
will never be able to do
again.Camille Saint-Saens
was rightly proud of his
third Symphony in C minor
Op.78, dedicated to the
memory of Franz Liszt.
Called theOrgan
Symphonybecause of its
novel scoring, the work
was a commission from the
Philharmonic Society in
London, as was
Beethoven's Ninth, and
was premiered there on 19
May 1886. The first
performance in Paris
followed on 9 January
1887 and confirmed the
composer's reputation
asprobably the most
significant, and
certainly the most
independent French
symphonistof his time, as
Ludwig Finscher wrote in
MGG. In fact the work
remains the only one in
the history of that genre
in France to the present
day, composed a good half
century after the
Symphonie fantastique by
Hector Berlioz and a good
half century before
Olivier Messiaen's
Turangalila
Symphonie.
You
would think that such a
famous, much-performed
and much recorded opus
could not hold any more
secrets, but far from it:
in the first
historical-critical
edition of the Symphony,
numerous inconsistencies
and mistakes in the
Durand edition in general
use until now, have been
uncovered and corrected.
An examination and
evaluation of the sources
ranged from two early
sketches, now preserved
in Paris and Washington
(in which the Symphony
was still in B minor!)
via the autograph
manuscript and a set of
proofs corrected by
Saint-Saens himself, to
the first and subsequent
editions of the full
score and parts. The
versions for piano duet
(by Leon Roques) and for
two pianos (by the
composer himself) were
also consulted. Further
crucial information was
finally found in his
extensive correspondence,
encompassing thousands of
previously unpublished
letters. The discoveries
made in producing this
edition include the fact
that at its London
premiere, the Symphony
probably looked quite
different from its
present appearance
...
No less
exciting than the work
itself is the history of
its composition and
reception, which are
described in an extensive
foreword. With his
Symphony, Saint-Saens
entered right into the
dispute which divided
French musical life into
pro and contra Wagner in
the 1880s and 1890s. At
the same time, the work
succeeded in preserving
the balance between
tradition and modernism
in masterly fashion, as a
contemporary critic
stated:The C minor
Symphony by Saint-Saens
creates a bridge from the
past into the future,
from immortal richness to
progress, from ideas to
their
implementation.
On
19 March 1886 Saint-Saens
wrote to the London
Philharmonic Society,
which commissioned the
work:
Work on the
symphony is in full
swing. But I warn you, it
will be terrible. Here is
the precise
instrumentation: 3 flutes
/ 2 oboes / 1 cor anglais
/ 2 clarinets / 1 bass
clarinet / 2 bassoons / 1
contrabassoon / 2 natural
horns / [3 trumpets /
Saint-Saens had forgotten
these in his listing.] 2
chromatic horns / 3
trombones / 1 tuba / 3
timpani / organ / 1 piano
duet and the strings, of
course. Fortunately,
there are no harps.
Unfortunately it will be
difficult. I am doing
what I can to mitigate
the
difficulties.
As
in my 4th Concerto [for
piano] and my [1st]
Violin Sonata [in D minor
Op.75] at first glance
there appear to be just
two parts: the first
Allegro and the Adagio,
the Scherzo and the
Finale, each attacca.
This fiendish symphony
has crept up by a
semitone; it did not want
to stay in B minor, and
is now in C
minor.
It would be
a pleasure for me to
conduct this symphony.
Whether it would be a
pleasure for others to
hear it? That is the
question. It is you who
wanted it, I wash my
hands of it. I will bring
the orchestral parts
carefully corrected with
me, and if anyone wants
to give me a nice
rehearsal for the
symphony after the full
rehearsal, everything
will be fine.
When
Saint-Saens hit upon the
idea of adding an organ
and a piano to the usual
orchestral scoring is not
known. The idea of adding
an organ part to a
secular orchestral work
intended for the concert
hall was thoroughly novel
- and not without
controversy. On the other
hand, Franz Liszt, whose
music Saint-Saens'
Symphony is so close to,
had already demonstrated
that the organ could
easily be an orchestral
instrument in his
symphonic poem
Hunnenschlacht (1856/57).
There was also a model
for the piano duet part
which Saint-Saens knew
and may possibly have
used quite consciously as
an exemplar: theFantaisie
sur la Tempetefrom the
lyrical monodrama Lelio,
ou le retour a la Vie op.
14bis (1831) by Berlioz.
The name of the organist
at the premiere ist
unknown, as,
incidentally, was also
the case with many of the
later performances; the
organ part is indeed not
soloistic, but should be
understood as part of the
orchestral
texture.
In fact
the subsequent success of
the symphony seems to
have represented a kind
of breakthrough for the
composer, who was then
over 50 years of age.My
dear composer of a famous
symphony, wrote
Saint-Saens' friend and
pupil Gabriel Faure:You
will never be able to
imagine what a pleasure I
had last Sunday [at the
second performance on 16
January 1887]! And I had
the score and did not
miss a single note of
this Symphony, which will
endure much longer than
we two, even if we were
to join together our two
lifespans!

A stunning
and heart-wrenching
composition based on the
Jewish folk son Shlof,
Mayn Kind. You can
hear the emotional
content pour out of this
piece written in memory
of an outstanding
orchestra director. The
piece beginnings with
original material to set
the tone, followed by
a clarinet solo on the
song. It then develops
through a variety of
different harmonic
presentation before
building to a nice key
change and climatic
moment. The piece ends as
it began, but with a more
hopeful tone. An amazing
piece. Sleep, My Child
was commissioned by the
Madison Middle School
Band and Orchestra in
Tampa, Florida, and is
dedicated to the memory
of their Director of
Orchestras Kevin Frye.
Director of Bands Chris
Shultz championed the
commissioning of this
piece to honor Kevin
after he passed away in
December 2016. Mr. Frye
was a beloved member of
the staff at Madison
Middle as well as the
music community of Tampa
and the state of
Florida. I was a
personal friend of
Kevin’s. We were
in several musical groups
together when we were
young that were formative
to both of our musical
careers. I also guest
conducted his Madison
Middle School Orchestra
several times over the
past four years. His
musicianship, teaching
skills and love for his
students were
exemplary.When taking on
the challenge of writing
a piece to honor
Kevin’s legacy,
Mr. Shultz and I decided
to try and include
several important aspects
of Kevin’s life
into the piece. Kevin was
proudly Jewish, a
fantastic trumpet player
and loved Jazz. With that
in mind, and after a lot
of research, a Jewish
folk song Shlof, Mayn
Kind was selected as the
basis for the piece, not
to be religious, but to
honor his faith and
heritage. Plus it is a
beautiful song, and I
felt the title reflected
the sentiment I was
looking to express, which
is of someone taking rest
after a long battle with
illness. Thus, a lullaby
seemed appropriate.I also
wanted to incorporate
Jazz into the piece, but
in a concert setting, so
you will hear as the
piece develops, the
harmonies of the folk
song expand into ones
found more commonly in
Jazz compositions. Not
in a far out way, but in
a subtle way to again
honor this part of his
life. For example the
climactic moment of the
piece at the fermata in
m. 57 is a Dbmaj9#11
chord. It appropriately
give the piece the angst
that I was looking for at
this moment in the piece,
while honoring the
importance of Jazz in
Kevin’s musical
life.The piece was also
conceived to include both
the Madison band and
orchestra in the
performance at the
premiere. I wanted the
pieces to work separately
by the band and
separately by the
orchestra, but I also
wanted them to be able to
play the piece together
to honor Kevin.The piece
begins with original
material designed to set
the mood of the piece
with a tempo/style
marking of pensive, but
also as material that I
used as connective
musical tissue between
statements of the folk
song. After this
introduction, the folk
song is presented by a
solo violin (or clarinet)
with orchestral
accompaniment in a simple
straight forward
presentation of the song.
This is followed by a
woodwind section
statement of the folk
song accompanied by muted
trumpets. During this
presentation the harmony
starts to expand with
more color notes in the
chords. The low brass are
added half way through
this statement to add
depth and lushness.The
introductory material
returns, but with some
angry hits in the lower
voices. This leads to a
full ensemble state of
new material that is used
to transition to the
climax of the piece, and
to build tension. After
the build, the piece
modulates to a shortened
statement of the folk
song with more advanced
harmonies and an active
counter line in the
violas, horns, saxes and
first clarinets to
further build the
tension. This tension
is released at the
fermata in m. 57, as
mentioned above. After a
thoughtful pause, the
piece concludes with a
completion of the folk
song again with a solo
violin (or clarinet)
followed by a return of
the introductory material
to tie the piece
together. The piece ends
hopeful, with a solo
trumpet (Kevin’s
instrument) that is
dissonant at first, but
then resolves as if to
say - everything will be
OK! It has been my
distinct honor to have
been asked to write this
piece in Kevin’s
memory! I hope that in
some small way the piece
helps to bring comfort to
his family, students,
colleagues and to all
those that knew
him!–Larry
