Par SETH F.ORTSAO JOSEL. This book, co-written by guitarist Seth F. Josel and composer Ming Tsao, provides a comprehensive survey of contemporary performance techniques on the classical guitar. It was inspired by a new generation of solo guitarists whose extraordinary technical and virtuosic skills have paved the way for a new understanding of instrumental performance practice. Detailed explanations are given for the instrument's technical potential within the historical context of traditional guitar technique. Composers will be interested in the in-depth analyses of contemporary guitar literature, featuring many examples of chamber and ensemble music. Four main chapters describe: - Techniques of the right and left hands - Special harmonies and percussive techniques - The main instruments of the guitar family and their potential - Possible ways of notating contemporary guitar literature The examples discussed in the book are complemented by an enclosed CD and detailed charts on multiphonics, bitones, and percussion techniques. Seth F. Josel is among the leading figures of his generation in modern guitar performance and has taken part in the premieres of more than 100 works as a soloist and ensemble member. A regular guest at Europe's major contemporary music festivals, he has worked with composers of the stature of Mauricio Kagel, Helmut Lachenmann, Tristan Murail and James Tenney and has played with such leading orchestras and ensembles as the New York Philharmonic, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Berlin Staatskapelle. From 1991 to 2000 he was a permanent member of the Ensemble musikFabrik. Today he lives in Berlin. Ming Tsao (b. Berkeley, CA, 1966) is professor of composition at Gothenburg University. His compositions have been performed amongst others by the Arditti Quartet, ensemble recherche and the Stuttgart Opera (premiere of 'Die Geisterinsel” in 2011).

This work written by Maxwell Davies in 1983 for chamber orchestra was commissioned to celebrate the quartercentenary of Edinburgh University. The first performance was given by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra conducted by EdwardHarper in October 1983. Duration c. 29mins.This work was thought through in outline following a visit to the ruined pre-Reformation church of Hoy in Orkney on a fine Spring afternoon after Maxwell Davies had played theharmonium for the tiny congregation in its large bleak Victorian replacement. The old church was surrounded by the graves of centuries the more recent ones with familiar names largely of people who lived in houses now ruinous crofters fishermen clerics sea-captains. Next to it stood the chief farmhouse the Bu going back to Viking times. He thought of the lives and deaths encompassed there expressed through hundreds of years of music in thechurch and in the big barn of the farm.The plainsongs ‘Dies Irae’ and ‘Victimae Paschali Laudes’ are used throughout the work the first concerning the Day of Judgement from the Mass for the Dead the second particular toEaster Sunday and the Resurrection. These are subject to constant transformation the intervallic contour slowly changes from one into the other and their notes are made to dance through Renaissance astrological ‘magic square’patterns.The orchestra consists of double woodwind two horns two trumpets and strings.

Job (Vocal Score)-A substantial work for four soli SATB chorus and orchestra using text from the translation of Stephen Mitchell's The Book Of Job. Like Vaughan Williams in his Job: A Masque for Dancing Davies was inspired inpart by William Blake's 21 engravings for the Book of Job. His oratorio however is less dependent on find parallels for Blake's visual details given the direct poetry in David Lemon's adaptation of the Stephen Mitchelltranslation from the biblical original it is hardly surprising that the spotlight should be so much on Job's suffering litany. The baritone has the lion's share of the setting though the other soloists occasionally reinforce hisplea and chorale-like episodes universalize his predicament. Davies frames with work with two seminal plainsong-like passages; there is also plenty of dramatic contrast both within Job's monologues and in the vivid orchestralwriting for the smarmy Comforters the initially shrill God who finally appears out of a dazzling orchestral whirlwind and the animal life he uses to illustrate the wonders of creation to a humbled Job.Commissioned by theUniversity of British Colombia it was first performed in May 1997 by Valdine Anderson (soprano) Linda Maguire (mezzo soprano) Paul Moore (tenor) and Kevin McMillan (baritone) with the Vancouver Bach Choir and the CBC VancouverOrchestra conducted by the composer.Vocal score with piano reduction of the orchestral score. Duration c. 70mins.

Par GULKE PETER. Peter Gülke widmet sich in 54 Essays dem großen Thema Tod und Abschied in der Musik, aber auch in der Literatur. Mit unnachahmlicher Sprachkraft präsentiert er Erkenntnisse, die von allgemeinem Interesse und bedeutend für den kulturellen Diskurs über Tod und Vergänglichkeit sind. Musik ist als diejenige unter den Künsten charakterisiert worden, die in besonderer Weise von Vergänglichkeit und Tod spricht. Wie aber tut sie das? Peter Gülke gibt darauf vielfältige Antworten. Aus dem Inhalt: - Wieviel Totentanz ist in überlang dahinwirbelnden Finali bei Mozart und Schubert enthalten? - Warum bekommen Tristan und Isolde nicht den Liebestod, den sie so überwältigend besungen haben? - Warum fällt Musik bei Nennung des Todes in einen harmonischen Abgrund? - Wie gehen Komponisten mit den Grausamkeiten der „Dies-irae'-Sequenz um? - Wie gedenken Komponisten verstorbener Kollegen? - Welche Erfahrungen liegen der Todesmystik in Bachs frühen Kantaten zugrunde? - Warum muten etliche Schlusspassagen bedeutender Romane wie insgeheim von Musik unterlegt an? Peter Gülke ist Träger des Ernst von Siemens Musikpreises und des Sigmund Freud-Preises für wissenschaftliche Prosa. Er ist Dirigent, Musikwissenschaftler und Musikschriftsteller./ Livre / Livre
