Mariss Jansons (Kompositionsauftrag des BR),,Nirai beschreibt ein imaginiertes Land ein Paradies. Zu Beginn meiner Arbeit hatte ich diese beiden Vorstellungen: von einer Fuge und von den Wurzeln auf Okinawa einer tropischen Insel im Suden Japans. Dort haben viele Baume ganz unglaubliche Formen besonders die Wurzeln haben mich fasziniert. Sie ergeben ausserst komplizierte und organische Gebilde die mich an eine Frage erinnerten. ,,Nirai heisst wortlich ,,aus den Wurzeln kommend oder ,,in Richtung der Wurzeln oder auch ,,Land der Wurzeln. Man verwendet dieses Wort um etwas zu beschreiben das aus der Vergangenheit kommt und das noch heute also in der Gegenwart sinnvoll ist. Genau wie es in Platons ,,Phaidon heisst: Alle alten Dinge kommen aus den neuen und alle neuen Dinge kommen aus den alten. Ich wollte diese Dualitat oder Interaktion zwischen zwei verschiedenen Epochen darstellen. Als Beethoven seine Symphonien schrieb benutzte er die kompositorischen Moglichkeiten die ihm zu jener Zeit zur Verfugung standen. Ich wollte das auch. Wir haben heutzutage ein riesigen Archiv an Techniken und Asthetiken auf die wir zuruckgreifen konnen. Wir konnen aus ihnen die passenden auswahlen oder sie auch kombinieren. In gewisser Weise kann man auch zu diesem Archiv ,,Nirai sagen denn es stellt das Erbe eines Volkes dar. Also wollte ich gerne eine alte Satzweise verwenden die heutzutage nicht so oft zum Einsatz kommt. Ursprunglich wollte ich das ganze Intermezzo in Fugentechnik schreiben. Aber das hat sich als zu schwierig herausgestellt. Ein Rest dieser ursprunglich geplanten Fuge ist am Anfang noch erkennbar. Die Faktur insgesamt ist eher einfach gehalten. Im Stuck ist ein stetes Accelerando angelegt fur den Horer gut wahrnehmbar obwohl mehrere Melodien gleichzeitig in unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten erklingen.Was den Beethoven-Bezug betrifft so nahm ich eine kurze Phrase aus dem Schluss des letzten Satzes der Zweiten Symphonie funf kurze Wechselnoten. Daraus entwickelte ich das Stuck. Bei Beethoven steht diese Phrase in D-Dur naturlich ubernahm ich die Tonart nicht. Was mich reizte war die Tatsache dass es sich um eine kleine Sekunde handelt - das Intervall das in der zeitgenossischen Musik bevorzugt verwendet wird. Die kleine Sekunde ist sehr flexibel sie ermoglicht einem viele Formen der Verwendung. Beethoven war seinen Zeitgenossen vor allem als genialer Improvisator bekannt also nahm ich diese kleine Phrase als Thema einer Improvisation und behandelte es auf sehr freie Art. Von der Sechsten Symphonie entnahm ich keine musikalischen Zitate; stattdessen entwickle ich dieses kurze Intermezzo in ,,pastoraler Form.(Misato Mochizuki) UA der zweisatzigen Fassung: 21.10.2011 NULL World premiere version with two sets: Oct. 21 2011 NULL.

Ton Koopman's new edition of all 16 organ concertos by Handel has drawn to a close. The quality of this edition has been highly praised from all quarters. Source-critical responsibility goes hand in hand with a high level of performance practice when Koopman provides interpretative tips for the ad libitum passages in the organ part without restricting the creativity of the interpreter who is interested in stylistic matters and prefers to work out his own solutions.The popular Concerto Op. 4 No. 6 in B flat major was originally a harp concerto (and is thus called Concerto per la Harpa in the autograph) and was performed in this version at its premiere in 1736, when it was inserted into Handel's oratorio Alexander's Feast in order to illustrate the harp playing of the Greek singer Timotheus. A harp edition is also in preparation.I want to make an edition that is not a Koopman interpretation, but contains only that which Handel really wrote. Nevertheless, there are occasional performance suggestions in small print which are elucidated in the Critical Commentary. (Ton Koopman in Concerto) Koopman offers a basically unmarked text, thus leaving the performance details up to the performer. Especially note-worthy is the clear printing, extensive preface and detailed Critical Notes. (Katholische Kirchenmusik)Whoever wishes to hear the entire Koopman edition on CD can look forward to the new recording by Christian Schmitt and the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester (Brilliant Classics). This is the first recording for which all 16 new Koopman editions were used as the basis for the performance.

The concertos in A minor, B flat major and A major were first written as violoncello concertos between 1750 and 1753. They thus rank among the very first concertos for solo cello in Germany. The A minor Concerto, composed in 1750, is performed quite frequently today. C. P. E. Bach most likely wrote the Concerto in B flat major Wq. 171 as the last of the little work group in 1753 in Potsdam, at the court of King Frederick the Great. He reworked the composition for flute and harpsichord shortly thereafter. Various sources prove that copies of the work had made it known quite extensively in the second half of the 18th century. In his new Urtext edition, Ulrich Leisinger bases himself on two reliable manuscripts.

Mississippi I. Father of Waters: born of the Highlands and the Lakes; the Glaciers, the Mountains, and the Prairies. The picture of your birth is clounded in the ice and mists of ancient ages but your spirit remains our life stream. II. The Red Man knew your bountiful gifts and gave thanks to the Great Spirit on your banks. -- The Spanish and French Fathers brought the glory of Christianity to America on Mississippi. But all men, white and dark; -- Indian, Spaniard, and Negro; Bourbon and Yankee, combined to make Mississippi the heart of America. Saga of the Mississippi Harl McDonald Born near Boulder, Colorado, July 27, 1899 Now living in Philadelphia The original suggestion for a symphonic work on the subject of the Mississippi came indirectly from the late Booth Tarkington who saw in it color and movement and atmosphere translatable into the terms of music. In the course of time, by the mysterious processes of composers' chemistry, it took shape as a tone-poem of two sections, one representing the rise of the great stream from its primeval geologic sources, the other the human history of the river. Mr. McDonald devised the following verbal outline of the general scheme of his diptych: I. Father of Waters: born of the Highlands and the Lakes; the Glaciers, the Mountains, and the Prairies. The picture of your birth is clounded in the ice and mists of ancient ages but your spirit remains our life stream. II. The Red Man knew your bountiful gifts and gave thanks to the Great Spirit on your banks. -- The Spanish and French Fathers brought the glory of Christianity to America on Mississippi. But all men, white and dark; -- Indian, Spaniard, and Negro; Bourbon and Yankee, combined to make Mississippi the heart of America. The first of the two movements, beginning molto andante, is vaguel modal to hint at antiquity. It is built upon the conventional two themes, with an episode, poco piu mosso, misterioso, for prehistoric murk and muck. There are various changes of pace and mood. The second, Allegro ma vigorosamente, prefigures an Indian ceremony. A theme presented by flute, clarinet and bassoon is a Canadian Indian fishing call collected by the late J.B. Beck. A later passage of quasi-Gregorian chant identifies the French and Spanish priests who made the great river their highway. The fishing-call is altered in rhythm and harmony to represent Negro field hands and roustabous. A turbulent close brings all these elemts together in the muddy swirling currents of the Mississippi. The work was begun in the summer of 1945, and was revised and completed in the summer of 1947. Harl McDonald, who is the manager of The Philadelphia Orchestra, has concerned himself with music as an art, as a science and as a business in course of his career. He was born on a cattle ranch in the Rockies, but since his was a musical family, his up-bringing combined piano lessons with ranch life. Years of study and professional experience followed in Los Angeles and in Germany. In 1927 he was appointed lecuter in composition at the University of Pennsylvania and he has since then made is home in Philadelphia. In 1933 under a grant of the Rockefeller FOundation he collaborated with physicists in research dealing with the measurement of instrumental and vocal tone, new scale divisions and the resultant harmonies. In that same year he was named head of the University's music faculty and conductor of its choral organizations. In 1939, having been a member of the Board of Directors for five years, he was appointed manager of The Philadelphia Orchestra. He continus to write, but otherwise his entire attention is now devoted to managerial duties. Chief items in the catalogue of his compositions are four symphonies, three orchestra suites, a half-dozen tone-poems, three concertos and considerable quantity of choral music.
