Melodia
for Solo Harp/ Alleluja
Modo II - Wachet auf for
Harp and
Organ
This
publication gathers
together in these three
pieces the only
compositions by Santucci
devoted to the harp, both
as a solo instrument and
in dialogue with the
organ, his favourite
instrument. The little
Melodia per arpa,
a simple piece having an
apparently didactic
purpose, does not show
the date of composition
but, judging by the
handwriting of the
manuscript, it probably
dates back to the period
between 1980 and 1990. No
other information has
reached us as to why the
piece was
composed. The two
pieces Alleluja Modo
II and Wachet
auf, both dated 20
March 1993, composed for
the unusual duo of harp
and organ, are dedicated
to Anna Maria Restani,
first harp in the
orchestra of the Teatro
Comunale of Bologna from
1965 to 2002, and to her
son Wladimir Matesic,
organist and now teacher
at the Conservatoire in
Trieste. Gregorian chant
is the protagonist of the
first piece, evoking a
Gothic and rarefied
atmosphere. The second is
instead a blatant tribute
to Johann Sebastian Bach
(right from the first
bars the reference to
Prelude no. 1 of the
Well-Tempered
Clavier is clear),
through one of his most
famous chorales
(Wachet auf, ruft uns
die stimme), also
used by Santucci for
numerous other
compositions, including
Il corteo dei Magi
[for trumpet, organ,
orchestra and choir,
1986, ms.], still
performed in the
Christmas concerts in
Bologna. (Giuseppe
Monari).

Although
'Rhinegold', like any of
the following three
parts, is a drama on its
own, it reveals its
entire meaning only as
introduction to the
complete work. In 'The
Nibelung's Ring', Wagner
used his own word
creations the principal
characteristics of which
are effective
alliterations. For the
first time, this first
part of the 'Ring' also
contains the
'reminiscence motifs' (it
was not until after
Wagner's death that Hans
von Wolzogen invented the
expression of the
'leitmotif' as it is used
today).Apart from the
libretto, this edition
contains introductory
commentaries of Kurt
Pahlen who also adds
information on the
compositional structure
and context to the
musical as well as
external and internal
dramatic action of the
opera. A short synopsis
and a brief outline of
the genesis bring the
work into relation with
the composer's entire
oeuvre and life, thus
offering a comprehensive,
richly illustrated
introduction.

Merilainen's second

first dates from the
1950's) is a musical
study of the concept of
time. The strings provide
an element of stasis,
while other orchestral
sections are used as
active blocks. The
extensive percussion
section is used to
discreetly mark the
passing of time and plays
on the edge of silence.

Among
Campra's Latin works, the
,Messe de mort' is
perhaps one of the more
successful and today it
is one of the more
frequently performed. It
is also the most
enigmatic score of his
entire output. Despite
extensive researches, no
evidence of any sort has
yet been brought to light
to document its origin,
purpose, date of
composition, first
performance or reception.
A stylistic analysis
indubitably supports the
contention that the
,Messe de mort' is a late
work, composed perhaps
between 1722 and 1729.
The present edition
is based on the
manuscript from the
Bibliotheque Nationale de
France (Paris). It it the
oldest known source of
the work. The very few
errors have been
corrected. (Jean-Paul

liturgische Agnus Dei
rahmt den deutschen Text
Eh das Madchen entschlief

years he was an important

father devoted a lot of
time and energy to
musical education and
activities of my sister
and me using often quite
original methods such as
teaching of intervals and
counterpoint through
Bartok's Microcosmos ear
training filling all
imaginable moments of
everyday life or lessons
of harmony analysis
starting with Overture to
Tristan and Musorgsky's
Catacombs. The Martinu
song Wondering Maiden was
his solo number in our

which he used to sing
with amazing devotion
while his huge voice was
audible in several

is closely bound to all
this history e.g. by
using canon and
preferring beauty of
dissonant seconds like
Bartok or quoting Martinu

neoclassical harmony.
Father would be probably
a bit critical about the
minimalistic monotony of
the main body of the
piece. Nevertheless
firstly he would
improvise a short lecture

Among
Campra's Latin works, the
,Messe de mort' is
perhaps one of the more
successful and today it
is one of the more
frequently performed. It
is also the most
enigmatic score of his
entire output. Despite
extensive researches, no
evidence of any sort has
yet been brought to light
to document its origin,
purpose, date of
composition, first
performance or reception.
A stylistic analysis
indubitably supports the
contention that the
,Messe de mort' is a late
work, composed perhaps
between 1722 and 1729.
The present edition
is based on the
manuscript from the
Bibliotheque Nationale de
France (Paris). It it the
oldest known source of
the work. The very few
errors have been
corrected. (Jean-Paul
Montagnier) Vokalensemble
Stuttgart und den
Kammerchor des
Kopernikus-Gymnasiums
Wasseralfingen. Fur diese
beiden ganz
unterschiedlichen
Chorformationen hat
Martin Smolka 2012 auch
gezielt seine Partitur
angelegt. Biografisch ist
das Agnus Dei eine Art
kleines Requiem fur
seinen kurz zuvor
verstorbenen Vater. Das
liturgische Agnus Dei
rahmt den deutschen Text
Eh das Madchen entschlief
... der bei Auffuhrungen
in anderen Landern durch
eine Ubersetzung ersetzt
werden soll.
Der
SWR-Redakteur Hans-Peter
Jahn schreibt dazu im
Programmheft: Die fur
Smolka typischen
minimalistischen
Taktzellen schaffen eine
archaische Sinnlichkeit.
Eine einfache und
zugleich streng gebaute
Vokalmusik mit
Tiefenwirkung.
Nac
h der Urauffuhrung war
die Esslinger Zeitung
hellauf begeistert:
Smolka ist ein Meister
der Stimmbehandlung und
der chorischen
Klanggestaltung. Im
Zentrum des Stucks gerat
die Musik zum Stillstand:
im leisen gleichmassigen
Summen uber dem plotzlich
fortissimo ein
tschechisches Kinderlied
erklingt eines das der
Vater seinen Kindern
haufig vorgesungen hat.
Das alles war sehr
beruhrend. Und eigentlich
noch mehr als das. My
father PhDr. Jaroslav
Smolka (1933-2011) was a
leading Czech
musicologist author of
books Czech Cantata and
Oratorium Fuga in Czech
Music Smetana's Orchestra
Music Smetana's Vocal
Music monography of Jan
Dismas Zelenka and many
others. He was a
legendary teacher of
Music History at Prague
Music Academy critic
recording producer
composer; for almost 50
years he was an important
and highly respected
personality of Prague
musical life. My
father devoted a lot of
time and energy to
musical education and
activities of my sister
and me using often quite
original methods such as
teaching of intervals and
counterpoint through
Bartok's Microcosmos ear
training filling all
imaginable moments of
everyday life or lessons
of harmony analysis
starting with Overture to
Tristan and Musorgsky's
Catacombs. The Martinu
song Wondering Maiden was
his solo number in our
home vocal productions
which he used to sing
with amazing devotion
while his huge voice was
audible in several
neighboring
streets. My Agnus Dei
is closely bound to all
this history e.g. by
using canon and
preferring beauty of
dissonant seconds like
Bartok or quoting Martinu
and his refined
neoclassical harmony.
Father would be probably
a bit critical about the
minimalistic monotony of
the main body of the
piece. Nevertheless
firstly he would
improvise a short lecture
of history of Agnus Dei
in Requiem in Czech Music
naming by heart many
dates and all examples of
changes of order of the
