Notes on the Program by Joel Sachs

Fault LineSHULAMIT RAN

Shulamit Ran began setting Hebrew poetry to music at age 7. Only two years later she was studying composition and piano with some of Israel’s most noted musicians, and she soon heard her works performed by professional musicians and orchestras. With scholarships from the Mannes College of Music and the America-Israel Cultural Foundation, Ran studied in New York with Norman Dello Joio and in Chicago with Ralph Shapey. In 1973 she joined the faculty of University of Chicago, where she became the Andrew MacLeish Distinguished Service Professor in the department of music as well as artistic director of Contempo, the university’s contemporary chamber players. She considers her teacher, later colleague, and friend Ralph Shapey an important mentor. Ran has been awarded five honorary doctorates, was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and has received major composers’ honors, including the Pulitzer Prize. Her music has been played by major orchestras including the Chicago Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, and American Composers Orchestra, with conductors Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez, Christoph von Dohnanyi, Zubin Mehta, Yehudi Menuhin, Gustavo Dudamel, and others. She was composer-in-residence with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Lyric Opera of Chicago and a resident at the American Academy in Rome. Her music, much of which has been recorded, is published by Theodore Presser Company and the Israeli Music Institute. Ran, now the Andrew MacLeish Distinguished Service Professor Emerita at the University of Chicago, is composing Anne Frank, a full-scale opera with a libretto by Charles Kondek, to premiere in November 2020.

Fault Line, commissioned by the Chicago Symphony’s Music Now program, was begun in May 2005 and completed early the following year. The composer writes:

The title Fault Line is a metaphor for the volatility of human existence. Underneath even the most seemingly orderly of lives, fault lines lie, at times totally invisible on the surface, yet capable of erupting with the power to shutter and change all. Fault Line may be heard as a journey of a life, with all of its exuberance, energy, despair, triumphs and losses, wonder, brashness, and the grace of great tenderness.

In three interlocking sections, the work opens resonantly and deliberately, with the distance bounded by the adjacent notes F and G gradually expanding into larger cycles of growing activity. This first large section of the work is bright and rich in sound, highlighting various ensemble combinations as they move in and out of fuller textures. It is the much sparser, more lyrical and transparent middle portion of the work, replete with solo lines, that transforms Fault Line’s course, with

darker undercurrents assuming a progressively more prominent role. The third and last large section begins with strident brass and timpani chords, gradually building into the work’s most intense stretch, with tutti and solo lines merging together. Fault Line’s opening line briefly comes back much transformed, in no way a recapitulation but rather alluding to the continuous thread of this journey, leading to the final climax which soon disintegrates into hushed silence.

Much of the optional vocal part, appearing late and only fleetingly, is sung in vocalise style (wordless singing). Not wishing to entirely forgo the voice’s capacity to emit the more varied sound of sung speech led me to integrate a text line from Shakespeare’s Othello (final act) that seemed especially appropriate: “Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate …”

SouvenirMAGNUS LINDBERG

Originally a pianist, Magnus Lindberg studied composition at the Sibelius Academy, where his teachers included Einojuhani Rautavaara (‘56, composition) and Paavo Heininen. A leading Finnish modernist in a musically conservative country, Heininen encouraged the study of the European avant-garde, which led to the founding of the Ears Open Society, an informal group—including Lindberg, Eero Hämeeniemi, Jouni Kaipainen, Kaija Saariaho, and Esa-Pekka Salonen—that aimed for greater awareness of contemporary modernism. In 1981 Lindberg moved to Paris for studies with Vinko Globokar and Gérard Grisey, also attending Franco Donatoni’s summer classes in Siena. Other associates from those days included Brian Ferneyhough, Helmut Lachenmann, and York Höller, all leaders of that generation. Over the next few decades, Lindberg explored many of the important trends, becoming one of today’s most prominent orchestral composers, commissioned by many of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors. From 2009 to 2012, he was composer-in-residence of the New York Philharmonic, writing pieces including EXPO, the premiere of which celebrated the opening of the tenure of Alan Gilbert (Pre-College ’85; MM ’94, orchestral conducting) as the orchestra’s music director. Lindberg was appointed composer in residence with the London Philharmonic Orchestra for the 2014-15 through 2016-17 seasons, again writing a host of new compositions. Lindberg’s music, published by Boosey and Hawkes, has been recorded on the Deutsche Grammophon, Sony, Ondine, Da Capo, and Finlandia labels. In 2003, Lindberg was awarded the prestigious Wihuri Sibelius Prize.

Souvenir was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and Gilbert and premiered at Symphony Space in Manhattan by members of the orchestra. It commemorates the French composer Gérard Grisey (1946-98). The piece is unusual for Lindberg in that it is divided into separate movements; he normally writes large pieces in inseparable sections. He says:

I didn’t start out planning this work to reflect my thoughts about Gérard Grisey, yet it ended up having that connection. It’s also connected to the fact that another important feature of my life was the summer I spent with Franco Donatoni in Italy, and my appreciation for his chamber symphony, titled Souvenir, from 1967. The connection of two of my teachers within this project made sense; it became a kind of “souvenir” world that led me back to the concept of the sinfonietta, the works for small orchestra. When you think about the sinfonietta, Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphonies stand as a reference point, but I would also say that sinfoniettas became a big thing in the 1960s and ‘70s, when groups like the London Sinfonietta and [Boulez’s] Domaines Musicales provided small-scale symphonic opportunities for composers who didn’t have the opportunity to work with full orchestras.

I felt nostalgic to get back to this world of the sinfonietta, and so I have scored this work for just one instrument per part—strings and winds (with two horns, because I think of the horns as a pair)—and two percussionists. Having spent many years working with big orchestral textures, I was suddenly faced with the challenge of writing for what, in comparison, seems like an almost ‘naked’ ensemble.

… between the linesALEXANDER GOEHR

Alexander Goehr is the son of the distinguished conductor and Schoenberg student Walter Goehr, who shortly emigrated to the U.K. Well known by age 20, the younger Goehr became a leader of the 1960s Manchester avant-garde, which included his friends Harrison Birtwistle and Peter Maxwell Davies. In 1955-56, having attended Messiaen’s Paris master class, he became a BBC producer and broadcaster and the director of the Music Theatre Ensemble. In 1971 he was appointed professor of music at Leeds University; five years later, he became chair of music at the University of Cambridge, where he is now emeritus professor. Goehr has received commissions from the Boston Symphony, BBC, Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Leeds Festival, Hamburg State Opera, Edinburgh Festival Ballet, Netherlands Wind Ensemble, and other ensembles and institutions. A prolific composer, he has produced numerous stage compositions with orchestra or small ensembles, five operas, choral and vocal music, and

many orchestral, chamber, and solo pieces. His four symphonies, concertos for piano, violin, viola, and cello, and other orchestral compositions have been conducted by Dorati, Boulez, Barenboim, Pritchard, Haitink, Ozawa, Dohnanyi, Rattle, and Knussen, with soloists including violinists Manoug Parikian and Ruggiero Ricci; cellist Jaqueline du Pré; and pianists John Ogdon, Daniel Barenboim, and Peter Serkin. Goehr is an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a former Churchill Fellow, and the 1997 BBC Reith Lecturer. This year he was made an honorary member of the Royal Philharmonic Society in recognition of his lifelong contribution to musical culture. His music is published by Schott and widely recorded, especially on the NMC label. Recent works include the quintet after “The Waking” (2016-17), commissioned by Wigmore Hall and the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and premiered by the Nash Ensemble. Goehr’s fifth quartet, Vision of the Soldier Er (2018), was premiered earlier this year.

Having avoided any dogmatic approach to materials, Goehr has chosen to fuse his heritages of the Schoenberg school and his former teacher Messiaen. He also has enjoyed developing a new polyphony emanating from the masters of the mid-18th century. Moving freely among modality, tonality, and nontonality, he gravitates to short phrases filled with nervous energy, which, he says, “impart a cryptic meaning to material that sometimes has a familiar origin.” … between the lines was commissioned by the Berlin Philharmonic for its Scharoun Ensemble, “for A [a player] who unknowingly provided the title.” It receives its Western Hemisphere premiere tonight. The composer writes:

The composition … has a single subject, as in fugue, played at the outset. It reappears in one form or another, throughout the composition, contrasted only, again as in fugue, by episodes of related but different materials. Each “movement,” each with its own underlying speed and meter relates to the first as an augmentation or diminution of it; that is to say, the subject appears in each section faster or slower than it is at first.

I do not think that any piece described as a Chamber Symphony can hide its genealogy deriving from Schoenberg’s Op. 9. That composition is famous for its unified one-movement structure in four parts and for the difficulty in balancing solo strings and a full and rich wind section. I hope my composition will not incur the same difficulties.

What else to say? The common expression “reading between the lines” suggests that the reader understands from what he reads something that the writer of poem or prose or even letter has not wanted or has wanted but not been able to spell out. But listening between the lines? Hearing the notes, the melodies and rhythms, even the harmonies and making something of these? Is this not enough? Does my title claim that there is something more to be obtained? I do not like the explicit and obvious in the music of the past, I look for the twist in the rope; or rather I do not look for but sometimes find where unexpectedly it leads.

die ReAlisierung einer komPositionBALÁZS HORVÁTH

Balázs Horváth studied composition at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music with Zoltán Jeney, among others. In 2005, already a member of the academy’s faculty, he completed his doctorate, and he now teaches music theory and 20th-century techniques. As composer—mostly of orchestral and ensemble music—he has won several prizes and has had performances in Hungary and abroad. Most of his compositions are written for orchestra or ensemble. Horváth also regularly appears as conductor. He is president of Budapest’s UMZE Association, which runs the new-music Ensemble UMZE. Horváth also founded and has co-curated the Transparent Sound New Music Festival in Budapest with Samu Gryllus since 2014. Their concerts concentrate on the connection of classical contemporary music and the music of the present. Recently Horváth has been particularly interested in the possibilities of combining the popular and the “serious” and integrating theatrical elements into music, composing for orchestra with human beatboxer (Werkmusik), rapper (die ReAlisierung einer komPosition), and DJ scratch sounds with plunderphonic elements (Plunderphonic intermezzi). He is also interested in integrating theatrical elements and text into his music.

die ReAlisierung einer komPosition was composed for rapper and orchestra in 2013 and reworked for chamber orchestra specially for the New Juilliard Ensemble, which gives the world premiere of the new version tonight. Horváth writes:

In 2013, reading György Ligeti’s The Self-Questioning—a “self interview”—it really grabbed me how Ligeti preceived and explained the notion of creation. I enjoyed the plastic formulation of the intuitive and speculative operation of the process of composing. I immediately decided to push this text into music in a way. After a long time planning the piece I realized that the most important section of this text must be placed into a dramatically distanced. The rhythmic sound of the original German text was fed into the music by a machine sound (Google Translator) on the one hand and by a live performer (rapper) on the other. Then I created a connection between the text and the instrumental “background” material that is a rap-like constellation.

die ReAlisierung einer komPosition

German Text

Der kompositorische Prozeß läßt sich deutlich in Initialzündung—das wäre der Rohzustand—und die darauf folgende Ausarbeitung gliedern. Auch sind oft Vorstellung und Ausarbeitung durch eine zeitliche Zäsur insofern getrennt, als die Ausarbeitung mehrere Jahre nach der ersten Konzeption eines Stückes erfolgen kann. Das Rückkopplungsverhältnis bezieht sich eher darauf, daß während der Ausarbeitung stets neue Vorstellungen von Musik entstehen, überlegte Konstruktion und naive Vorstellung durchdringen sich gegenseitig. Und auch der Arbeitsvorgang selbst ist nicht nur bewußt und überlegt, die Konstruktion enthält ebenso intuitive Züge wie die Initialvorstellung spekulative. Die Unterscheidung läßt sich eher durch die Dosierung begründen: Die primäre Vorstellung einer Musik ist überwiegend intuitiv, die Ausarbeitung überwiegend spekulativ. Und ebenso wie die sinnliche Vorstellung von Musik durch den historischen Kontext Präformiert wird, weisen Konstruktionen und Arbeitsvorgänge solch eine Präformierung auf: Das Reagiren auf die Arbeitsmethoden der anderen wie auch auf die eigenen vorangegangenen Arbeitsmethoden bedingt eine stete Modifizierung der konstruktiven Prinzipien.

English Translation

The compositional process can be clearly decided into initial inspiration (i.e., the raw state) and subsequent working out ... The feedback relationship has more to do with the fact that during the working-out process new musical ideas arise: structural deliberations and naïve idea mutually affect each other. And the working method is itself not just a matter of cold calculation: there are intuitive features in the construction just as there are speculative features in the initial idea. The distinction can be better explained in terms of dosage: the primary musical idea is predominantly intuitive, the working out predominantly speculative. And, just as the musical idea conceived by the senses is preshaped by historical associations, so too structural processes and working methods are subject to similar pre-shapings: individual reactions to the working methods of other composers as well as to one’s own working methods in relation to earlier works, lead to a constant modification of constructive principles.
