On
letting go(Concerning the
selection of the texts)
In the selection of the
texts, I have allowed
myself to be motivated
and inspired by the
concept of 'letting go'.
This appears to me to be
one of the essential
aspects of dying, but
also of life itself. We
humans cling far too
strongly to successful
achievements, whether
they have to do with
material or ideal values,
or relationships of all
kinds. We cannot and do
not want to let go,
almost as if our life
depended on it. As we
will have to practise the
art of letting go at the
latest during our hour of
death, perhaps we could
already make a start on
this while we are still
alive. Tagore describes
this farewell with very
simple but strikingly
vivid imagery: 'I will
return the key of my
door'. I have set this
text for tenor solo. Here
I imagine, and have
correspondingly noted in
a certain passage of the
score, that the
protagonist finds himself
as though 'in an ocean'
of voices in which he is
however not drowning, but
immersing himself in
complete relaxation. The
phenomenon of letting go
is described even more
simply and tersely in
Psalm 90, verse 12: 'So
teach us to number our
days, that we may apply
our hearts unto wisdom'.
This cannot be expressed
more plainly.I have begun
the requiem with a solo
boy's voice singing the
beginning of this psalm
on a single note, the
note A. This in effect
says it all. The work
comes full circle at the
culmination with a repeat
of the psalm which
subsequently leads into a
resplendent 'lux
aeterna'. The
intermediate texts of the
Requiem which highlight
the phenomenon of letting
go in the widest spectrum
of colours originate on
the one hand from the
Latin liturgy of the
Messa da Requiem (In
Paradisum, Libera me,
Requiem aeternam, Mors
stupebit) and on the
other hand from poems by
Joseph von Eichendorff,
Hermann Hesse,
Rabindranath Tagore and
Rainer Maria Rilke.All
texts have a distinctive
positive element in
common and view death as
being an organic process
within the great system
of the universe, for
example when Hermann
Hesse writes: 'Entreiss
dich, Seele, nun der
Zeit, entreiss dich
deinen Sorgen und mache
dich zum Flug bereit in
den ersehnten Morgen'
['Tear yourself way , o
soul, from time, tear
yourself away from your
sorrows and prepare
yourself to fly away into
the long-awaited
morning'] and later: 'Und
die Seele unbewacht will
in freien Flugen
schweben, um im
Zauberkreis der Nacht
tief und tausendfach zu
leben' ['And the
unfettered soul strives
to soar in free flight to
live in the magic sphere
of the night, deep and
thousandfold']. Or Joseph
von Eichendorff whose
text evokes a distant
song in his lines: 'Und
meine Seele spannte weit
ihre Flugel aus. Flog
durch die stillen Lande,
als floge sie nach Haus'
['And my soul spread its
wings wide. Flew through
the still country as if
homeward bound.']Here a
strong romantically
tinged occidental
resonance can be detected
which is however also
accompanied by a
universal spirit going
far beyond all cultures
and religions. In the
beginning was the sound
Long before any sort of
word or meaningful phrase
was uttered by vocal
chords, sounds,
vibrations and tones
already existed. This
brings us back to the
music. Both during my
years of study and at
subsequent periods, I had
been an active
participant in the world
of contemporary music,
both as percussionist and
also as conductor and
composer. My early scores
had a somewhat
adventurous appearance,
filled with an abundance
of small black dots: no
rhythm could be too
complicated, no register
too extreme and no
harmony too dissonant. I
devoted myself intensely
to the handling of
different parameters
which in serial music
coexist in total
equality: I also studied
aleatory principles and
so-called minimal music.I
subsequently emigrated
and took up residence in
Spain from where I
embarked on numerous
travels over the years to
India, Africa and South
America. I spent repeated
periods during this time
as a resident in
non-European countries.
This meant that the
currents of contemporary
music swept past me
vaguely and at a great
distance. What I instead
absorbed during this
period were other
completely new cultures
in which I attempted to
immerse myself as
intensively as possible.I
learned foreign languages
and came into contact
with musicians of all
classes and styles who
had a different cultural
heritage than my own: I
was intoxicated with the
diversity of artistic
potential.Nevertheless,
the further I distanced
myself from my own
Western musical heritage,
the more this returned
insistently in my
consciousness.The scene
can be imagined of
sitting somewhere in the
middle of the Brazilian
jungle surrounded by the
wailing of Indians and
out of the blue being
provided with the
opportunity to hear
Beethoven's late string
quartets: this can be a
heart-wrenching
experience, akin to an
identity crisis. This
type of experience can
also be described as
cathartic. Whatever the
circumstances, my
'renewed' occupation with
the 'old' country would
not permit me to return
to the point at which I
as an audacious young
student had maltreated
the musical parameters of
so-called contemporary
music. A completely
different approach would
be necessary: an
extremely careful
approach, inching my way
gradually back into the
Western world: an
approach which would
welcome tradition back
into the fold, attempt to
unfurl the petals and
gently infuse this
tradition with a breath
of contemporary
life.Although I am aware
that I will not unleash a
revolution or scandal
with this approach, I am
nevertheless confident
as, with the musical
vocabulary of this
Requiem, I am travelling
in an orbit in which no
ballast or complex
structures will be
transported or intimated:
on the contrary, I have
attempted to form the
message of the texts in
music with the naivety of
a 'homecomer'. Harald

As I
sit myself down to write
this brief foreword, I
ask myself can there be
music more stirring than
these old Cornish folk
melodies? Though not
Cornish myself (I confess
to being born a little
further up the road, in
Bristol), I feel I have
spent sufficient time in
these 'ere parts to
resonate with the sturdy
brass band tradition that
continues to permeate
this incomparably
beautiful, rugged county.
One can almost detect a
French 'accent' when
listening to the piano
music of Debussy, and
likewise, speaking as a
lapsed brass player,
there is undoubtedly
something of the Cornish
twang about Trelawny when
played on a cornet or
euphonium. Then again,
one gets a different, yet
entirely convincing
effect upon hearing these
melodies rendered on
woodwind instruments;
hence, with a little
gamesmanship on my part,
I am pleased to see my
collection of these
fifteen delectable
ditties come to fruition
in the form of
arrangements for treble
clef brass instruments
(in B flat and E flat),
trombone and tuba (bass
clef), horn in F, flute,
clarinet and bassoon.
While many will find
themselves humming the
likes of Going up
Camborne Hill, Lamorna or
The Helston Furry Dance
even before they have
turned to the first page
- for these are indelibly
intertwined with Cornish
culture – I wonder if I
might draw your attention
to The Cornish Squire,
The Pool of Pilate and
Cold Blows the Wind Today
Sweetheart, which are
quite simply sublime
melodies, perhaps needing
that extra bit of help in
bringing them to mind
nowadays. In the best
tradition of musical
hand-me-downs, Cornish
folk music works equally
ideally sung and played,
and only by doing so on a
regular basis can such
traditions hope to
continue forward with
vigour and authority. A
legitimate way of
achieving this is to
revitalise the harmonic
scheme of these ancient
tunes and bring them up
to date for a modern
audience; after all, it
was such an approach that
fuelled the imagination
of Benjamin Britten and
Ralph Vaughan Williams in
decades past, while
skilfully paying homage
to the underlying charm
and, for want of a better
word, simplicity, of the
original music. But this
is only a start – for
without an energetic
response from younger
generations, Cornish folk
music is destined to
wither on the vine in
much the same way as is
happening with the
Cornish dialect. So, put
your instrument to your
lips and proceed, not
with caution, but with
enthusiasm and a smile,
for your great
grandparents (and perhaps
even their grandparents)

Marche
fatale is an incautiously
daring escapade that may
annoy the fans of my
compositions more than my
earlier works, many of
which have prevailed only
after scandals at their
world premieres. My
Marche fatale has,
though, little
stylistically to do with
my previous compositional
path; it presents itself
without restraint, if not
as a regression, then
still as a recourse to
those empty phrases to
which modern civilization
still clings in its daily
utility music, whereas
music in the 20th and
21st centuries has long
since advanced to new,
unfamiliar soundscapes
and expressive
possibilities. The key
term is banality. As
creators we despise it,
we try to avoid it -
though we are not safe
from the cheap banal even
within new aesthetic
achievements.Many
composers have
incidentally accepted the
banal. Mozart wrote Ein
musikalischer Spass [A
Musical Jape], a
deliberately amateurishly
miscarried sextet.
Beethoven's Bagatellen
op. 119 were rejected by
the publisher on the
grounds that few will
believe that this minor
work is by the famous
Beethoven. Mauricio Kagel
wrote, tongue in cheek,
so to speak, Marsche, um
den Sieg zu verfehlen
[Marches for being
Unvictorious], Ligeti
wrote Hungarian Rock; in
his Circus Polka
Stravinsky quoted and
distorted the famous, all
too popular Schubert
military march, composed
at the time for piano
duet. I myself do not
know, though, whether I
ought to rank my Marche
fatale alongside these
examples: I accept the
humor in daily life, the
more so as this daily
life for some of us is
not otherwise to be
borne. In music, I
mistrust it, considering
myself all the closer to
the profounder idea of
cheerfulness having
little to do with humor.
However: Isn't a march
with its compelling claim
to a collectively martial
or festive mood absurd, a
priori? Is it even music
at all? Can one march and
at the same time listen?
Eventually, I resolved to
take the absurd seriously
- perhaps bitterly
seriously - as a
debunking emblem of our
civilization that is
standing on the brink.
The way - seemingly
unstoppable - into the
black hole of all
debilitating demons: that
can become serene. My old
request of myself and my
music-creating
surroundings is to write
a non-music, whence the
familiar concept of music
is repeatedly re-defined
anew and differently, so
that derailed here -
perhaps? - in a
treacherous way, the
concert hall becomes the
place of mind-opening
adventures instead of a
refuge in illusory
security. How could that
happen? The rest is -
thinking.(Helmut

As I
sit myself down to write
this brief foreword, I
ask myself can there be
music more stirring than
these old Cornish folk
melodies? Though not
Cornish myself (I confess
to being born a little
further up the road, in
Bristol), I feel I have
spent sufficient time in
these 'ere parts to
resonate with the sturdy
brass band tradition that
continues to permeate
this incomparably
beautiful, rugged county.
One can almost detect a
French 'accent' when
listening to the piano
music of Debussy, and
likewise, speaking as a
lapsed brass player,
there is undoubtedly
something of the Cornish
twang about Trelawny when
played on a cornet or
euphonium. Then again,
one gets a different, yet
entirely convincing
effect upon hearing these
melodies rendered on
woodwind instruments;
hence, with a little
gamesmanship on my part,
I am pleased to see my
collection of these
fifteen delectable
ditties come to fruition
in the form of
arrangements for treble
clef brass instruments
(in B flat and E flat),
trombone and tuba (bass
clef), horn in F, flute,
clarinet and bassoon.
While many will find
themselves humming the
likes of Going up
Camborne Hill, Lamorna or
The Helston Furry Dance
even before they have
turned to the first page
- for these are indelibly
intertwined with Cornish
culture – I wonder if I
might draw your attention
to The Cornish Squire,
The Pool of Pilate and
Cold Blows the Wind Today
Sweetheart, which are
quite simply sublime
melodies, perhaps needing
that extra bit of help in
bringing them to mind
nowadays. In the best
tradition of musical
hand-me-downs, Cornish
folk music works equally
ideally sung and played,
and only by doing so on a
regular basis can such
traditions hope to
continue forward with
vigour and authority. A
legitimate way of
achieving this is to
revitalise the harmonic
scheme of these ancient
tunes and bring them up
to date for a modern
audience; after all, it
was such an approach that
fuelled the imagination
of Benjamin Britten and
Ralph Vaughan Williams in
decades past, while
skilfully paying homage
to the underlying charm
and, for want of a better
word, simplicity, of the
original music. But this
is only a start – for
without an energetic
response from younger
generations, Cornish folk
music is destined to
wither on the vine in
much the same way as is
happening with the
Cornish dialect. So, put
your instrument to your
lips and proceed, not
with caution, but with
enthusiasm and a smile,

grandparents (and perhaps

BACH-SHARDS
was commissioned by the
Brentano String Quartet
as part of their Art of
the Fugue companion-piece
project. Ran deliberately
stays within the realm of
Bach-like vocabulary,
altering syntax in ways
that add up to something
slightly different from
the anticipated sum of
the parts. The work
builds up to a climax
that makes the entry
point into Bach’s
Contrapunctus X seem
thoroughly
natural. While
composing Bach-Shards I
found myself gravitating,
intuitively and
gradually, toward a dual
goal. First, though
the tension and
dissonance inherent in
certain moments of
Bach’s own
maze-likeÂ
contrapuntal structures
could quite easily and
naturally lead one into a
pungent contemporary
terrain, I opted not to
stray outside the realm
of Bach-like materials
and harmonic
language. Instead, it
was my hope to alter
their relationships and
context in ways that add
up to a something
that’s slightly
different than the
anticipated sum of the
parts. A mildly
deconstructed Bach, if
you will. The other
important challenge I set
for myself was building
up the latter,
toccata-like portion of
Bach-Shards in a way that
would make the entry
point of the fugue which
it precedes,
Contrapunctus X, seem
thoroughly natural.Â
It was my intent to have
the first fugal entrance
feel like a huge and much
welcome release of the
energy created by my
Prelude’s
penultimate stretch, with
its bravura figurations
elaborating on an
insistent dominant pedal
point.

This
stunning addition to the
bassoon repertory
features dramatic outer
movements framing a slow
and plaintive aria.
Harberg’s program
notes put the drama and
its crying-out high notes
in the context of writing
in 2021: “The
composition was deeply
influenced by disruptive
forces unfolding around
us. While this unrest
made writing difficult at
times and brought me to
uncomfortable places
within myself, the
process was also full of
unexpected discoveries
and musical solutions I
never would have found in
less troubled
times.â€. Connect
ions are all around us. I
first met bassoonist
Adrian Morejon while
writing my Suite for Wind
Quintet for the Dorian
Wind Quintet in 2017. He
and I quickly became fast
friends and decided to
collaborate on a new
piece. Over the next two
years, Adrian assembled a
phenomenal group of 28
bassoonists from around
the world to be
co-commissioners. Adrian
and I premiered the
resulting sonata at the
International Double Reed
Society’s 2021
Virtual Symposium.The
SONATA was composed
between January and June
2021. In composing it, my
goal was to offer
bassoonists a substantial
work that would show off
the instrument’s
remarkable strengths
including its athletic
agility, gorgeous singing
qualities, and enormous
range. While I generally
avoid being programmatic,
this composition was
deeply influenced by the
disruptive forces
unfolding around us.
While this unrest made
writing difficult at
times and often brought
me to uncomfortable
places within myself, the
process was also full of
unexpected discoveries
and musical solutions I
never would have found in
less troubled times.I am
deeply grateful to Adrian
for our collaboration,
and to everyone in the
consortium for making the
SONATA possible.
