Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)

The great 19th century French composer Hector Berlioz holds a unique place in musical history. Far ahead of his time, he was one of the most original of great composers, but also an innovator as a practical musician, superb conductor, a writer and critic whose literary achievement is hardly less significant than his musical output. Few musicians have ever excelled in all these different fields at…

In 1892 Dvorak landed in the USA, newly appointed director of the National Conservatory of Music of America, in New York City. During his three years in the USA, he was also tasked with the job of spearheading the synthesis, or creation, of a truly (North) ‘American’ musical form of expression. Though still a post-colonialist viewpoint -widespread quintessentially North-American music already existed in the form of the music of black and native peoples- the choice of Dvorak, as a composer who might be able to do this was within the realm of art music, was an inspired one. Dvorak had for years made music of his native Bohemia an integral part of his compositional output. Children of this effort include his symphony no.9 ‘From the New World’, the cello concerto, and the ‘American’ string quartet, performed tonight.

At the Conservatory, one of his black students, singer, composer, and arranger Mr. Harry T Burleigh frequently shared black, and other native music, with Dvorak. It was through Burleigh that Dvorak came to feel that much of this music was (as still is much native music in many other parts of the world) based on the pentatonic scale. Every theme in the ‘American’ string quartet is pentatonic, as is the anonymous negro spiritual ‘Deep River’.

The British-Sri Lankan composer Yshani Perinpanayagam has based her ‘We Folk Disquieten’, here a world premiere, also on the pentatonic scale; or rather, several. There is really only one pentatonic scale, which can be anchored to any given note, ie played ‘higher’ or ‘lower’. Perinpanayagam, giving each instrument a distinct pentatonic scale, represents the local voices of different peoples in different parts of the world, gathering them in a single, powerful, unified voice as the work unfolds.

‘Pyramid in an Urban Landscape’ by the Mexican (hence North American) composer Diana Syrse is given here its UK premiere. In it she combines the use of traditional string quartet instruments with pre-Columbian ones. At first, one may wonder why these pre-Columbian shapes and sounds are irrupting into the old, established order of the string quartet- until we realise it is the ‘West’, the colonisers, who have encroached around the pyramids, the ayoyote, the ocarina and the shaker, all of whom were there first.

The title of the concert, ‘Emerging’, evokes the idea of the new: new music, new paintings, new art. But these final expressions cannot be understood without also delving somewhat into the different processes and cultural environments, which lay out the conditions in which artists work, to generate this new art. We invite the audience to join us in being a part of the process that underpins the genesis of some of the works we perform today.

Variations

Composers have used variations in music for centuries. Renaissance and Baroque composers wrote variations on a short tune in the bass which was repeated again and again. Handel wrote a famous set of variations for harpsichord and Bach wrote his monumental Goldberg Variations. Mozart, Beethoven Brahms, Elgar, Schoenberg and Britten all contributed to the genre so the the prohramme today explores…
