Zum ersten Mal wird hier gewagt, eine Geschichte der musikalischen Bildung in einen Zeitrahmen von mehr als 3.000 Jahren zu stellen. Damit verbindet sich der Anspruch, ein Bild zu zeichnen, das nicht erst - wie bisher ublich - um 800 oder gar erst um 1.800 beginnt. Denn die Grundentscheidungen uber den Bildungsrang der Musik im europaischen Abendland sind da langst gefallen: in den antiken Hochkulturen und im Christentum.Musik ist mehr als Musik - und Bildung ist mehr als Padagogik, denn Musik ist ein unubertroffener Spiegel der Welt. Musikalische Weltbilder haben ganze Nationen, Geschichtsepochen und Kulturkreise bis in ihre politische Gestalt hinein gepragt: Musik hat gebildet im ursprunglichen Sinn des Wortes. Die Geschichte der musikalischen Bildung gibt Antworten auf Fragen wie:- Welche Rolle spielen Musik und Bildung in verschiedenen Epochen?- Welche Funktion hat musikalische Bildung fur den Staat und fur die Entwicklung der Personlichkeit?- Wie geben ein Schamane in Sibirien, ein Ritter aus dem hohen Adel und ein lutherischer Lehrerkantor musikalisches Wissen (vermutlich) weiter?- Wie funktionieren musikbildende Institutionen wie die Schola Cantorum, die Meistersingerschulen oder das Thomaskantorat unter J.S. Bach?- Was denken Augustinus, Luther, Comenius, Rousseau, Goethe, Frobel und Adorno uber musikalische Bildung und Praxis?Der Leser wird zu 40 Stationen unserer Kultur- und Bildungsgeschichte gefuhrt - von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart.Ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Musikeditionspreis 2006.

At First Light was commissioned by Eric Bruskin, a resident of Philadelphia, USA, in memory of his mother. Eric had a longstanding enthusiasm for my work, and I was touched to be the person he approached for a task which is both a privilege and a daunting responsibility. In a sense, no music can ever measure up to the weight of love or the hope of consolation vested in it under such circumstances - but in memory I carry the deaths of both my own parents, and I was able to draw upon that. Eric's fondness for my Cello Sonata (itself written in memoriam) led him to ask that I include a solo 'cello part in the new work - but his attachment also to my polyphonic sacred choral writing meant that he wanted a centrepiece which would be both a showcase of that approach and the celebration of a life well lived. Therefore, the seven movements of At First Light arrange themselves as a series of slow meditations surrounding an exuberant 9-minute motet in which the lamenting cello falls temporarily silent.Eric's Jewish faith meant that approaching an agnostic humanist brought up within the Anglican tradition was hardly free of problems! Gradually, though, I was able to win his approval for a collated mosaic of texts. This embraces some liturgical Latin (necessary for the motet) as the shared preserve of broad western culture in general, but balances it with a secular approach to loss, celebration, remembrance and the many shades of our mourning those whom we see no longer. Eric was adamant that he did not want the title Requiem; but what has emerged is still a form of semi-secular Requiem in all but name, taking its title instead from a phrase in the poem by Thomas Blackburn set as the third movement. This seemed to suggest succinctly how the loss of one very close to us is an awakening into an unfamiliar world where everything is changed. Following the exuberant central movement, the texts by the Lebanese-born Kahlil Gibran and the US, Kentuckian poet Wendell Berry first address the departed loved one directly, then place us within an imaginary funeral cortege, where the perennial and universal in human experience become personal without subscribing explicitly to any particular faith (or lack of it). The final text of all is a translation of a Hebraic prayer, requested and provided by Eric Bruskin, which serves to mirror its Latin counterpart heard at the outset.Throughout , the lamenting cello represents a commentary on the experience articulated in the text. It evokes and, in a sense, tries to embrace and sanctify the individual existential journeys of the bereft, as they in turn seek to make their own sense of what the short-lived Second World War poet Alun Lewis called 'the unbearable beauty of the dead' (movement 5).In a modern world hostage to ever greater menace, displacement, bloodshed and anguish, I hope fervently that this music not only brings a measure of solace to the person who commissioned it, but also makes its own small contribution to bailing out the sinking ship of humanity.
