ToelichtingenBenedict Weisser - A Secret A Secret is dedicated, with love, to Sylvia Stoetzer. Samuel Vriezen - Seizoenen "Zijnde drie cycli van een veranderlijk muzikaal ecosysteem in de vorm van een kamersymfonie in drie in opvolging trager wordende fugatische delen op primitieve motivische themas, in het eerste deel vijfvoudig, in het tweede achtvoudig en in het laatste drievoudig, met voor-, tussen- en naspelen." 'Seizoenen' is opgedragen aan de nagedachtenis van mijn moeder, Hermien Rozemond (1932-1999) ClÈo Palacio-Quintin - synesthesia 2 : Le sourire de l'Ètoile bleue (synesthesia 2: The Blue Star's Smile) for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, percussions and tape (2002) written for Ensemble Non Sequitur, with a text by Jessica Vigneault synesthesia borrowed from the greek scientific term sunaisthÕsis "simultaneous perception" (1865), derived from sunaisthanesthai "feel with", a verb composed of sun "together, with" and aisthanesthai "perceived by the senses". Term characterizing a sensorial experience of certain individuals (synesthetes) who perceive an objective sensation accompanied by supplementary sensations that occur in a different part of the body than the originally excited one, or in a different sensorial domain. The most frequent case is colored hearing. Bleu, si beau tu baignes mes yeux, Libre, abyssal, tendre et frileux... EpithËte d'un spleen... Usurier, mais heureux. Orange, abricot, clÈmentine, crÈpuscule, Rouge de braise, jaune qui bršle, Accroche un sourire ý tes mille feux! Nirvana monotone... Gardien d'une mort vive et certaine, Eblouissant dÈclin des feuilles en automne... - Jessica Vigneault Blue, so beautiful, you bathe my eyes, Free, abyssal, tender and shivery... Epithet of an usurious, yet fortunate spleen. Orange, apricot, clementine, twilight, Ember red, burning yellow, Hang a smile on to your thousand fires! Monotonous Nirvana... Gardian of a vivid and certain death, Dazzling decline of the leaves in autumn... (translation by Jessica Vigneault) "Le temps est un espace, le son est une couleur, l'espace est un complexe de temps superposÈs" - Olivier Messiaen Emily Doolittle - Weather Songs La Foudre Il a plu, cette nuit. Le chemin a l'odeur de l'herbe mouillÈ, Puis, ý nouveau, la main de la chaleur Sur notre Èpaule, comme Pour dire que le temps ne va rien nous prendre. Mais lý O˜ le champ vient buter contre l'amandier, Vois, un fauve a bondi D'hier ý aujourd'hui ý travers les feuilles. Et nous nous arrÕtons, c'est hors du monde, Et je viens prËs de toi, J'achËve de t'arracher du tronc noirci, Branche, ÈtÈ foudroyÈ De quoi la sËve d'hier, divine encore, coule. La Neige Elle est venue de plus loin que les routes, Elle a touchÈ le prÈ, l'ocre des fleurs, De cette main qui Ècrit en fumÈe, Elle a vaincu le temps par le silence. Davantage de lumiËre ce soir A cause de la neige. On dirait que des feuilles bršles, devant la porte, Et il y a de l'eau dans le bois qu'on rentre. - Yves Bonnefoy The Lightning It rained, during the night, The path smells of wet grass, Then, once again, the hand of the heat On our shoulder, to say That time will never take anything from us. But look, There where the field runs up against the almond tree, A beast of prey has sprung From yesterday to today through the leaves. And we stop, it is outside the world, And I come toward you, I finish tearing you from the blackened trunk, Branch, lightning-struck summer From which yesterday's sap flows, still divine. The Snow It has come from further than the roads, It has touched the meadow, the ochre of the flowers, With the hand that writes in smoke, It has vanquished time through silence. More light this evening Because of the snow. You would think the leaves in front of the door were burning, And there is water in the wood we bring in. - translated by John Naughton Patrick David Clark - Rhyming Shapes It is often only after hearing a piece of music that we as listeners can truly engage with it in an active sense. Through recollection we have the freedom to dwell selectively on the moments that we are most attracted to and are able to find connections which are not necessarily explicit in the work as object. In a word, music becomes 'subjective' only after it is heard. In the first movement of Rhyming Shapes I have explored this issue as it relates to my experience of 'Round Midnight' by Thelonious Monk, and have allowed my own stream of consciousness to fragment and reconstruct the head tune. In the second movement ("It Begins to Tell...") the music deals with the anticipation of a moment rather than the moment itself. Through concentration on "anticipation," the arrival of the moment as "object" is blended with the uncertainty of subjective expectation, and dissipation of the moment then leads to new expectations. The third movement ("Myriad Libidinal Dance Figures") responds to this dreamy expectation through its clear and bright presentation of earlier material in an ecstatic visceral dance. BiografieanNON SEQUITUR Non Sequitur is recognized as one of the most exciting and versatile new music ensembles emerging today. Taking contemporary music as a point of departure, Non Sequitur's performances bring together works from composers such as Boulez, Mingus, Xenakis, and Zappa, and incorporate improvisation, theatre, and popular and non-western music. The group first formed as the Aspen Contemporary Ensemble, in residence at the Aspen Music Festival from 1996 to 1998. Over their five years together, they have given over 100 U.S. and world premieres, including works by Thomas AdÀs and Michael Torke, and have a well-respected reputation for their ability and insight in preparing new works. Gabriel Bolkosky currently resides in Ann Arbor, Michigan where he is the artisitic director of The Phoenix Ensemble, a musicians collective specializing in enhancing the artistic and educational community. He has worked as a soloist with such musicians as William Bolcom, John Lindberg and the Cavani String Quartet, and with the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago. As a teacher Gabe has been a guest clinician for teachers and students across the United States.Patrick David Clark Emily Doolittle ClÈo Palacio-Quintin Samuel Vriezen Benedict Weisser CONCERTEN TOT EN MET Sinds 1997 geeft het door jonge componisten georganiseerde Concerten Tot en Met componisten de kans de concerten van hun dromen te organiseren met de uitvoerders van hun dromen, en vice versa. Meer Concerten Tot en Met horen? Dat kan: 28 April - Ensemble Jubelpark is een experimenteel duo, dat werken speelt die zich tussen improvisatie en compositie ophouden op een zorgvuldig geselecteerd instrumentarium van welluidende gevonden voorwerpen. Zij spelen, naast eigen werk, met pianist Samuel Vriezen 'For One, Two or Three People' van Christian Wolff en met zangeres Kristina Fuchs werk van Margriet Hoenderdos. Tevens werk van J. S. Bach, een blues van Dante Oei en Toccata I van Vriezen. 12 Mei - Ditmaal in de Vondelkerk! Het Zephyr Kwartet speelt een programma met oude en nieuwe strijkkwartetten van Rudiger Meyer, Benedict Weisser, Martijn Voorvelt, Rocco Havelaar en Gijsbrecht RoyÈ. SEIZOENEN Goed.
