Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki: Genesis 1 - Elementi Op.19 No.1 (Full Score)

The first part of Gorecki's remarkable cycle Genesis is a gritty and unforgiving exploration of pure sound and sonority. The strings are treated to a huge variety of effects and techniques including tremolandi, glissandi, bridge bowing and de-tuning. This approach creates an ever changing and fluctuating timbral journey that has more in common with the Fluxus school, Gerard Grisey or even Edgard Varese than with the seminal Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. Music of the very elements themselves.

Robert Saxton: Krystallen For Flute And Piano

'Krystallen', for flute and piano, was written in 1973 for the flautist, Susan Milan, who gave the first performance on BBC Radio 3 with Clifford Benson in January 1975.The music is in three sections, the last of which is a varied repeat, with palindromic elements, of the opening. These outer sections are texturally three-part inventions, consisting of gently interweaving, equal-voiced polyphony while, in the central passage, individual figures are isolated and exchanged by both instruments.

Peter Maxwell Davies: The No. 11 Bus Libretto

The No. 11 Bus is a music-theatre work in which musicians, dancers and mime all play an equal part. It has been described as an apocalyptic comedy, and both comic and terrifying elements should be exploited as far as possible. The setting is a mythical journey of the No. 11 bus in London, which runs between Liverpool Street and Hammersmith. This can be adapted to suit the needs of the particular group that is performing it.Words and music by Maxwell Davies, with German translation by Gunther Bauer-Schenk. Text Only

Dave Heath: On Fire For Violin and Piano

On Fire is in one movement, fast ? slow, fast with a quiet coda section. The first part is a combination of contemporary rock linn drum patterns in the piano part with Jimi Hendrix-like North Indian cello lines. It builds up to a crescendo leading to a quiet section. Out of this comes a slow movement and a cadenza for the solo cello. In the final section all the elements of the piece at last come together. It is dedicated to Jacqueline du Pré and much of the string writing is highly influenced by Nigel Kennedy?s revolutionary style of playing.

Africa: The Piano Album

Sarah Class’ score for the TV series Africa gives full rein to her talent for evoking contrasting musical moods in outstanding documentaries. Whether it’s the rhythmic progress of rivers and waterfalls, a dramatic confrontation between two giraffes or varying shades of mercurial behaviour by other wildlife or the natural elements themselves, her score always complements the visuals, subtly enriching the potency of breath-taking photography with no hint of intrusion. These selections from her score have been expertly arranged for solo Piano and the collection features some unforgettable images from the acclaimed six-part TV series.

Bowen: Berceuse Op. 83 for Solo Piano

This berceuse – or cradle song – certainly manifests musically ‘rocking’ elements, but in a style both Romantic and modern that is Bowen’s own creation. York Bowen was a British composer whose fifty-year career musical career spanned much of the 20th century. Bowen was not only a prolific composer, he was also a pianist, conductor, Organist, Violinist and Horn player. He premiered many important works and his own music was featured many times at the Proms, among other concert series. Sir Henry J Wood believed Bowen had never received proper recognition and Camille Saint-Saens regarded him as the ‘finest of English composers’ early in his career.

De Falla: Fuego Fatuo Suite For Orchestra (Full Score)

Fuego Fatuo has an interesting history. Manuel De Falla (1876-1946), often regarded as the greatest Spanish composer of the 20th century, wanted to write an opera based around themes from Chopin, whom he greatly admired. The stage work was never finished; however, several attempts have been made to arrange the work for orchestra, most successfully by the Catalan conductor Antoni Ros-Marbà . Despite its history, this orchestral suite is far from being a mere mish-mash of Chopin melodies; it is more of a meditation on Chopin’s work in general, with the focus on the harmonic and textural elements which De Falla drew from his work. It forms a fascinating insight into the mind of a great musician.

Kaija Saariaho: Lonh (Soprano/Electronics)

Kaija Saariaho ’s Lonh , scored for Soprano Voice and Electronics, was commissioned by the Wien Modern Festival and premiered on the 20th October 1996. The title  Lonh , meaning far away or distant, is derived from the old Provençal language, in which this piece is performed. The text itself, a poem about distant love, popular among the medieval scholars and poets, is attributed to the medieval troubadour Jaufré Rudel. Formally, the piece loosely follows the form of the poem, and is thus divided into nine sections. Some of the symmetrical and repeating aspects are found in the solo soprano part, which as such uses rather freely the elements for the original text, so that the resulting text is rather a collage based on Rudel’s song.

Peter Maxwell Davies: Turn Of The Tide, Final Chorus (Chorus Part)

The task: to write a piece that could involve children as players, singers and composers alongside a professional symphony or chamber orchestra. The solution: a peace-cry for the biosphere, in which the collaborative nature of the enterprise is a metaphor for a wished-for human enlightenment to the ways of the natural world. Davies provides five musical elements and five ways of development, and uses these to illustrate five branches of life on earth: water-plants, trees, fish, birds and mammals (including man). There is a space for answers from children's instrumental groups, and then a larger space in which the children can develop the given ideas, perhaps with members of the orchestra. Davies returns as composer to depict, through an excess of development, creation turned sour. Finally everyone comes together with a unison hymn, with orchestra and instrumental groups, celebrating the turn of the tide.This work for young instrumentalists, children's chorus and orchestra, was commissioned by the Association of British Orchestras as the centrepiece of an education project which coincided with the implementation of the National Curriculum for music in schools in England and Wales, echoing similar developments in Scotland and Northern Ireland.Score. Duration c. 25mins.

Michael Nyman: Mose (Vocal Score)

Composer's Notes:When I was asked to write a piece to celebrate the restoration of Michelangelo?s Mosè, I returned to the paper written by Sigmund Freud on the sculpture which I had discovered by chance many years ago. Freud?s fascination with the Mosè began in 1901 when he visited San Pietro in Vincoli for the first time. A series of subsequent visits culminated in the publication of the Moses of Michaelangelo in 1914, from which I have used two extracts to ?frame? the main body of my text which consists of selections from Michelangelo?s own letters. In 1505 Michelangelo was summoned to Rome by Pope Julis II and was commissioned to build a tomb which would reflect the magnificence of the Pontiff?s reign. Forty years and four Popes later, the tomb, modified and scaled down due to a variety of financial and political changes of circumstance, was completed. The letters give the impression of an idealist at work: Michelangelo personally selected each piece of marble and supervised its transportation to Rome by his more worldly and capricious paymasters. His creative and artistic frustrations are mirrored by problems of a more a practical nature; payment for both his services and the materials is erratic. At one point his is accused of embezzling funds. The complete text tells the story of an artists struggle and eventual triumph against external circumstances. The Mosè, by virtue of its very nature combines the elements of the physical and the spiritual with which Michelangelo challenged and eventually triumphed over the restraints of the context in which he had to work. The lovingly selected and cared for marble in the hands of the unpaid, exploited artist is transformed into something more substantial and eternal. Michael Nyman
