Works
of chamber music
including flute and
strings are not nearly as
numerous as those for
clarinet, or even the
oboe. Probably the reason
for this is the less
assertive, more pure tone
the flute possesses - it
can't compete for volume
or range with the
clarinet, except in its
top octave, and the
oboe's tone is more
penetrating and easily
discerned from within a
string texture.
Consequently, composers
who have written for
flute and strings have
done so in lightweight
divertimento works:
compare, for instance,
the delicate flute
quartets of Mozart with
his monumental quintet
for clarinet and strings.
When Karl and Joan
Karber approached me with
the ideas of writing a
work for flute and string
trio, I originally
thought it would be best
to write a humorous,
rather offhand piece -
but a look at their
repertoire (mostly
comprised of smaller
works of the Rococo
period) convinced me that
it was the last thing
they needed. In spite of
the challenge (or maybe
because of it?), I
determined to write a
large work, and a serious
work. Zephyrus (named for
the God of the West Wind,
in deference to the
flute) is a
three-movement work, with
each movement cast in a
very different form, but
all three being built of
the same twelve-note
series. There is also a
rhythmic motive and a
pair of themes that
appear in all three
movements. The
first movement plays with
the idea of contrast and
persuasion. The flute, at
the outset, is the
hell-for-leather
protagonist, charging and
swooping around the
strings - who seem oddly
unconcerned by his
passion. Indeed, they
have a more somber song
to sing - and as the
movement unfolds, the
flute becomes less and
less active, while the
strings become
increasingly enlivened.
By the midpoint, when all
four instruments are
finally in the same meter
and the same tempo, the
flute's energy has
finally infected the
other three players, and
this energy does not let
up until the movement's
abrupt final cadence.
The second
movement begins with a
tag from the first - as
if the energy left over
was too great to simply
stop. At length, though,
a very poignant flute
melody appears over an
almost bluesy harmony in
the strings. After this
has been fully exposed, a
slight increase in
motion, marked gently
rocking in triplets,
features a theme-fragment
from Leonard Bernstein's
Symphony No. 2 (Kaddish).
Bernstein died as I was
writing this work, and it
seemed quite natural to
encourage what was
already implicit in the
music, and create an
Elegy for L.B. The music
rises and peaks, then in
the recapitulation of the
opening the Kaddish theme
reappears, as the
ensemble suggests a
gentle song of sleep.
The final movement
is a Rondo-Variations
form, with the slight
alteration of adding the
main theme of the second
movement in what would be
the trio of the form. The
ritornello theme is a
kind of ethnic dance
music, almost an allusion
to the Klezmer ensembles
of Eastern Europe. The
successive episodes
between the ritornelli
are loosely organized
variations on the basic
theme, but always
beginning with a metric
modulation, a rhythmic
changing of gears. The
movement reaches and apex
of speed and furious
pulsing, then abruptly
pirouttes, and finishes.
Zephyrus was
written between April and
November of 1990 in
Austin, Aspen, and
Honolulu, and is
dedicated to Karl Kraber
and The Chamber Soloists
of Austin. --Dan

The
awardee of two Guggenheim
fellowships, Julia Perry
studied composition with
Luigi Dallapiccola and
Nadia Boulanger, and
conducted her works on a
tour throughout Europe
with the Vienna
Philharmonic and the BBC
Orchestra. She would
become one of the first
African-American female
composers to have an
orchestral work performed
by the New York
Philharmonic. Although
she had an auspicious and
promising career in her
early life, it was
tragically cut short by a
series of strokes leading
to partial paralysis and
eventually, her death, at
age 55 in
1979.Perry’s
catalog is widely varied,
featuring thirteen
symphonies, numerous
chamber and solo works,
pieces for band, choral
and vocal music, and four
operas. Her Violin
Concerto, completed in
1968, shows the influence
of Dallapiccola’s
teachings: sharp harmonic
dissonances organized
around specific pitch
centers, short repetitive
patterns that establish
significant musical
materials, and
contrapuntal textures.
Her fastidious
performance markings in
the solo violin part
indicate her profound
understanding of the
instrument. Angular,
muscled, and sparkling by
turns, this piece is a
sophisticated entry to
the serious violinist's
concert repertoire.There
is no evidence or
documentation that the
Violin Concerto was ever
premiered or performed
during her lifetime,
despite the fact that the
composer prepared a full
score, piano reduction
and orchestral parts.
Regrettably, this is the
case with the majority of
her works composed in the
final decade of her
life. What is
extraordinary about Julia
Perry’s musical
career was the
astonishing success she
attained in her early
years. In her youth she
studied piano, voice,
violin and cello. She
began to compose in her
teenage years, her first
publication being a
choral work in 1947 by
Carl Fischer. Her Stabat
Mater was published in
1951 and would become one
of her most often
performed pieces, with
performances in Europe
and the United States. In
1953 she was awarded a
Guggenheim fellowship to
study with the Italian
composer Luigi
Dallapiccola, first at
the Berkshire Music
Center in Tanglewood,
later in Florence, Italy.
During this time, she
also pursued studies with
Nadia Boulanger in Paris
and was awarded a second
Guggenheim fellowship.
She studied conducting at
this time, touring Europe
in 1957 to conduct her
own works with the Vienna
Philharmonic and the BBC
Orchestra. During her
European sojourns, she
learned and mastered
French, German and
Italian. She would become
one of the first
African-American female
composers to have an
orchestral work performed
by the New York
Philharmonic.Perryâ€
s circumstances would
change dramatically once
she reached forty years
of age, having returned
permanently to the United
States. At some point in
the spring of 1970, she
suffered the first of two
strokes that would
paralyze her right side
and confine her to a
wheelchair for the rest
of her life. Nonetheless,
she continued to compose
and to promote her works
with publishers and
conductors. A second
stroke contributed to her
death in 1979 at age 55.
She likely endured harsh
ethnic and gender
discrimination in the
course of her career, and
her later years would
witness a period of
extreme civil unrest.
These matters and the
significance of music in
her life are undoubtedly
what led her to say,
“Music has a great
role to play in
establishing the
brotherhood of
man.â€Perry’s
catalog is widely varied,
featuring thirteen
symphonies, numerous
chamber and solo works,
pieces for band, choral
and vocal music, and four
operas. Her Violin
Concerto, completed in
1968, is indicative of
the influence of
Dallapiccola’s
teachings: sharp harmonic
dissonances organized
around specific pitch
centers, short repetitive
patterns that establish
significant musical
materials, and
contrapuntal textures.
The work is a single
movement of 392 measures
organized around three
alternating tempos: Slow
(Å’ = 60), Moderate
(Å’ = 84) and Fast
(Å’ = 120). The
opening thirty-measure
cadenza for the solo
violin introduces most of
the thematic material for
the piece. The
orchestration commonly
features antiphonal
writing between
orchestral groups, for
example, strings
alternating with brass,
or strings alternating
with winds. The harp and
piano generally appear as
solo instruments, rather
than as members of the
orchestra. Her fastidious
performance markings in
the solo violin part
indicate her profound
understanding of the
instrument.There is no
evidence or documentation
that the Violin Concerto
was ever premiered or
performed during her
lifetime, despite the
fact that the composer
prepared a full score,
piano reduction and
orchestral parts.
Regrettably, this is the
case with the majority of
her works composed in the
final decade of her
life.

On the
occasion of the
quincentenary of
Reformation Day in 2017,
the composer Enjott
Schneider thoroughly
studied Martin Luther the
individual and all his
contradictions. The
result is a brilliant,
demanding organ symphony
which is perfect for
concerts on the subject
of Reformation and Martin
Luther.The composer
describes the five
movements of the symphony
as follows:'1st
movement:Wir glauben all
an einen Gott with its
quintuplet-like beginning
is very Gregorian in
style, outlining the
range of Lutheran
emotionalism between the
Middle Ages and the
modern era. The
irrationality of faith
ultimately has priority
over any thought and
evidence. At the
beginning of the
movement, sounds of
knocking on wood remind
of the nailing of the
Ninety-Five Theses to the
doors of churches in
Wittenberg. The chorale
melody sometimes hides
with an almost rough
medieval saltarello,
referring to Luther's
robustness and vitality
with which he knew to
carry away even common
people.2nd movement:In
1530, the electoral
prince of Saxony
presented to Luther at
Coburg Castle the golden
signet ring with the
Luther rose which became
the symbol of his
theology of grace. A
white heart with black
cross is fixed on a
five-petalled rose. To
him, white is the colour
of angels and ghosts,
black stands for the pain
of crucification: The
just shall live by faith,
but by faith in the
Crucified. But the fact
that the rose and the
heart are the dominating
symbols shows how
Catholic Marian piety
remained an ingredient of
Luther's spirituality
throughout his life. In
line with the dominant
five-petal structure of
the rose, this movement
was composed, to a large
extent, in accordance
with the floating,
lyrical rhythm in 5/8
time.3rd movement:The
omnipresence of death and
dying - from the plague
and war to the
never-ending dangers of
daily life - was an
essential part of the
world view of that time.
Fears ensued that might
heighten into the
grotesque, e.g. in the
pictures of Hieronymus
Bosch. The Danse macabre
was a popular motif in
those years. Luther's
chorale Mitten wir im
Leben sind / mit dem Tod
umfangen from 1524
(Enchiridion from Erfurt)
is based on the Gregorian
chant Media vita in morte
sumus created in France
around 750 and, with its
idea of transience,
inspired a simplistic
air.4th movement:The
famous confession
delivered at the Diet of
Worms in 1521, I stand
here and can say no more.
God help me. Amen, are
not Luther's words but
the version later used as
text for a pamphlet.
However, it represents
quite plainly the
straightforwardness and
inevitability of his
mission. Musically, it
was made into a perpetuum
mobile, i.e. a dogged,
ostinato and never-ending
musical air.5th
movement:The Mighty
Fortress, on the other
hand, is one of the great
symbols of Martin Luther
which, with its shining C
major key, embodies the
Protestant ideology and
willful nature of the
Reformation unlike any
other song. Heinrich
Heine called it the
Marseille anthem of the
Reformation, Friedrich
Engels the Marseillaise
of the Peasants' Wars.
This disputability is not
thought through to the
end but rather
interrupted: With a
jubilant birdcall version
of the melody, the finale
shows a rather
chamber-music-like side
of the ideals of freedom
of Christians.'.

Commissione
d by the Kolner
Philharmonie (KolnMusik)
for the non bthvn projekt
2020 and the Cite de la
musique / Philharmonie de
Paris Dedicated to
Arditti Quartet Each
movement of this quartet
explores a single state,
its lights and its
shadows. Each movement,
you could say, is a
moment . And these
moments could last for
more or less time without
compromising their
essential nature. The
processes could be
extended or compressed,
repeated or reversed, but
the core ideas - if they
are ideas, but maybe they
are simply experiences? -
are what they are.
Despite this, the precise
sequence of movements
matters a great deal.
Heard together they do
articulate some kind of
linear narrative, maybe
even a metaphorical
journey (albeit a
circular one where the
arrival might, who knows,
prove to be a new
departure). One situation
gives way to another and
instrumental
relationships within the
quartet vary, but
ultimately the
imaginative impulse
behind the piece
preferences states of
unity. Whether or not
this unity is expressed
texturally - sometimes
literal unisons pervade,
but not always - there is
generally a sense that
even seemingly diverse
aspects relate to a
fundamental condition of
concord: a conscious
limitation in the pitch
structure to spectral
emanations of the root
notes E-flat and C. At
the opening this is
unambiguously audible in
the perpetual alternation
of these two notes in the
low cello register. Later
the two spectra are woven
into a micro-tonal
'double-spectral-mode'
(derived from the first
24 partials of the C and
E-flat fundamentals),
which defines the subtle
melodic inflection of the
second movement, and the
never-quite-chromatic
ascending scales of the
third. For now this feels
like a rich source of
melodic possibility, so
far only just glimpsed...
And why the insistence on
E-flat? Probably by way
of historical anecdote.
Apparently Karl Holz (a
member of the
Schuppanzigh Quartet)
said to Beethoven: We
performed your Quartet in
E-flat Op. 127 in his
[Weber's] honour; he
found the Adagio too
long; but I told him:
Beethoven also has a
longer feeling and a
longer imagination than
anyone standing or not
standing today. - Since
then, even Linke (another
member of the quartet)
can no longer stand him:
we cannot forgive him for
this. Listening again to
Op. 127, in light of
these comments, I was
struck by the opening
moment: the unfolding of
an E-flat 7th chord over
the course of a few bars.
Every time I hear it I
find myself wishing that
Beethoven would have
lingered longer there,
without resolution or
progression, just
enjoying that sonority.
And maybe - why not? -
tune the 7th naturally.
And what would it be to
stretch that moment into
an entire piece? What
would Weber think of
that?! In the end I was
not so extreme in my
self-limitation, and
other concerns took over,
but it was from these
thoughts that the
composition process
began... Lastly, about
the title: it comes from
a book called 'The Clock
of the Long Now' by
Stewart Brand, published
at the turn of the
millennium. It's about
the creation of a
thousand-year clock to
embody the aspiration to
thinking in terms of
longer time-spans than
are presently habitual.
If the music of Beethoven
embodied a 'longer'
feeling and imagination
than some of his
contemporaries were able
to appreciate, what is
our relation to time now?
Longer or shorter? Maybe
it depends who you ask...
It's probably more
extreme in both
directions: attention
spans might be
diminishing in the
digital world, but
conversely there is an
awareness of distant
pasts and potential
futures which would have
been inconceivable at the
time of Beethoven. In any
case, the interesting
thing is to ponder how
societal conditions,
assumptions and
expectations might -
whether consciously or
unconsciously - influence
the time of art, for
listeners and creators
alike. And what if time
is running out?

This
composition is based on
the life of the German
cavalry general Hans
Michael Elias von
Obentraut (1574-1625),
who was known for his
nerve, loyalty and
courage. The figure Van
Obentraut is closely
connected to the town of
Seelze, where he died a
heroic death and where a
monument was erected in
his honor. The work
consists of four
movements in which
various aspects of this
historical figure are
featured. What is extra
special about this work
is the fact that its firs
movement (Hymn for a
Hero) had been made
available as an easy
version for flexible
band. This makes it
possible for a youth of
beginner band to play
along with a band of
adults or advanced
players. This hymn can
also be played as a
separate piece.

A high
quality setting of the
Thomas Morley hymn, Sing
We and Chant It, by
popular writer Deborah
Baker Monday. Deborah
understands the idiomatic
nature of the string
orchestra and always
provides teachers with
music that can be used to
teach as well as inspire
musicality. Thomas
Morley (ca. 1557-1602)
lived in England during
the Elizabethan period.
It was a time during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth
when the arts, and
especially music,
flourished.Morley studied
serious music with
William Byrd and
attempted to compose in
his style while holding
an organ post at St.
Paul's Cathedral. He was
inspired by a new vocal
publication brought to
England from Italy. These
madrigals were where
Morley finally found his
compositional direction.
He took aspects of the
Italian style, which
suited his personality
and anglicized them by
applying the English
language and musical
tradition. His works are
considered to show a
wider variety of
emotional color, form and
technique than other
English composers of this
period.

composed and performed
within a 2 week period at
a memorial concert given
for Helen Manheim, a
violist in Mr. Kempton's
Island Chamber Symphony
on Long Island, NY. Ms
Manheim died rather
suddenly and her passing
left the composer with a
deep feeling of regret at
having taken her and so

for granted.
The
piece consists of 3
lengthy phrases. The
first epitomizes the
grief at her passing. The
2nd presents her life and
consists of 3 phrases,
all starting the same but
each striving higher. The

This work

story of the martyrdom of
Saint Stephen,
traditionally regarded as
the first Christian
martyr, asrecounted in
the Acts of the Apostles.
Stephen was a member of
the early Church in
Jerusalem. He was an
inspired and charismatic
preacher, but he aroused
great hostility among the
members of the various
synagogues by his
teachings, and he was
accused of blasphemy. At
his trial he looked up to
heaven and declared that
he saw God in his Glory,
with Jesus standing at
his right hand. This so
enraged the authorities
that he was flung from
the city and stoned to
death. As he died, he
prayed that the Lord
Jesus would receive his
spirit, and that his
killers would beforgiven.
In this setting the choir
recounts the story in
Latin, whilst the solo
horn music depicts the
violence of the stoning.
The work endswith a

Based on the
poems by German poet Carl
Hauptmann (late
Romanticism) and the
English poet William
Wordsworth (early
Romanticism).
Carl Hauptmann was in
poor health as a child,
but highly intelligent.
He studied philosophy,
psychology and biology.
In the latter he was
admitted to the degree of
doctor. His marriage
provided financial
independence, so that he
could focus on his
studies. Hauptmann
wrote various novels,
plays, poetry and
scientific works.
Night
Twilight floats above the
valley's night mists
are hanging, there's
a whispering brook.
Now the covering veil is
lifting quite: come
and look! See the
magicland before our
gaze: tall as dreams
the silver mountains
stand, crossed by
silent silver paths
shining from a secret
land. Noble, pure,
the dreaming country
sleeps. By the path
the shadow black and hogh
of a beach. a wisp of
a white smoke creeps to
the dark'ning sky.
Where the valley is the
darkest hued countless
little lights shine
silently. O my
soul! Drink of
solitude!
Carl
Hauptmann
Wordsworth 'introduced' a
new type of poetry, based
on the speech of the
common man. This was his
answer to the poetry of
the classicism which was
bound by rigid rules. His
definition of poetry was:
the spontaneous overflow
of powerful feelings from
emotions recollected in
tranquility.
My
heart leaps up when I
behold a rainbow in the
sky
My heart
leaps up when I behold A
rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life
began. So is it now I
am a man. So be it
when I shall grow
old, Or let me
die! The Child is
father of the Man.
And I could wish my days
to be Bound each to each
by natural
piety.
William
Wordsworth
In a
truly poetic manner
Harrie Janssen has
transformed the
contemplative thoughts of
the poets into two
compositions for Concert
Band.
Two
Symphonic Interludes is
gebaseerd op gedichten
van de Duitse dichter
Carl Hauptmann (laat
Romantiek) en de Engelse
dichter William
Wordsworth (vroeg
Romantiek).
Carl
Hauptmann had als kind
een zeer zwakke
gezondheidmaar was zeer
intelligent. Hij
studeerde Filosofie,
Psychologie en Biologie.
In het laatste vak
promoveerde hij. Het
huwelijk zorgde voor
financiele
onafhankelijkheid zodat
hij zich kon richten op
zijn verdere studie.
Hauptmannschreef enkele
romans, toneelstukken,
poëzie en
wetenschappelijke
werken.

notes as
follows:
Lennox
Berkeley was born in 1903
and died in 1989. After
reading modern languages
at Oxford he had no
intention of becoming a
composer until he met
Ravel in 1926, who
encouraged him to study
in Paris with Nadia
Boulanger. He stayed in
Paris until 1932,
developing his own
musical language. In
1936, after the death of
his mother, he went to
Barcelona for the
International Society for
Contemporary Music
festival where he met
Benjamin Britten. The two
lived together at Snape
in Suffolk for a while
until the outbreak ofwar,
before Berkeley moved
back to London to work
for the BBC. Here he met
his future wife Freda
Bernstein. He taught at
the Royal Academy of
Music in London from 1946
until 1968, where his
pupils included Richard
Rodney Bennett, Nicholas
Maw and John Tavener,
among others. He was
knighted in 1974.
In early
February 1971 I was
playing in a concert at
St. John's Smith Square,
London, then only
relatively recently
restored as a superb
venue for music. The
programme, which I
believe was being
broadcast, included
Berkeley's Serenade
Op.12. It was a work I
had always enjoyed
playing and was standard
string orchestra
repertoire at the time.
There was initially no
platform at St. John's
and so the audience sat
virtually on top of the
performers. So close were
they on this occasion
that I had to ask for a
little more room in order
to play. At the end of
the piece the orchestra
acknowledged the applause
and the gentleman who I
had all but practically
decapitated with my
over-enthusiastic
playing, stood up and
took a bow. I had been
almost playing in Lennox
Berkeley's lap! The
opportunity was too good
to miss and I wasted
little time in
introducing myself. Mr
Berkeley said that he had
been fascinated by my
playing and asked me to
write to him about a
possible
commission.

In the
latter half of the 18th
and in the 19th century
the Old Preface Testament
Christmas prophecy
(Isaiah 9, 1-6) formed
the basis for numerous
motetto- and cantata-like
compositions originating
from the Erzgebirge and
the Vogtland of Saxony.
From very early times,
this text was included in
Matins for Christmas day,
hut until the period
specified it was usually
intoned on a reciting
note. The present cantata
is one of the few
surviving testimonies to
musical activity in the
small Thuringian town of
Schleiz. The prophecy Das
Volk, so im Finstern
wandelt was written -
probably for performance
at court services - in
all likelihood by Johann
Georg Reichard, a
magistrate in the
Grafschaft (County) of
Reuss who later held
higher judicial
appointments. Reichard
was born at Oels
(Olefoica) in Silesia in
1710 and studied law at
Leipzig from 1732. He
then went to Schleiz and
rose from the position of
archivist to high legal
office, at the same time
succeeding Gottfried
Siegmund Liebich (d.
1736) as director of the
court chapel. He died in
Schleiz on 2 June 1782. A
few of his church
cantatas and other pieces
(serenades etc) written
for the court at Schleiz
once belonged to the
Fursten- and Landesschule
of St Augustine at Grimma
whose music holdings are
now preserved in Dresden.
Some of Reichard's
compositions are
autograph, some in copies
made by his son Heinrich
Gottfried Reichard
(1742-1801) who pursued
an active career at
Grimma both in music and
ancient philology, first
as cantor, finally as
co-rector. The 'Prophecy'
cantata survives
anonymously in a score
copied by Heinrich
Gottfried Reichard who
may well have sung it
himself when he was
fourteen, before bis
voice broke - as the date
Anno 17 56 suggests. He
probably prepared the
score in bis later years
from the original parts,
now no langer existent,
as he did in the case of
other works of his
father's. Whether he
revised the musical text,
and to what extent,
cannot now be
established. This short
and attractive work has
all the lightness and
exuberance of the rococo
as well as genuine
emotional depth. In
addition, it is easy to
perform and should prove
very popular.
Liturgically, it still
occupies a place in
Christmas matins or
vespers. Permission for
