Ferneyhough - Adagissimo for String Quartet (1983) (with score)
Переглядів 2 тис.2 роки тому
"Composed in November 1983 as an eightieth birthday tribute to Sir Michael Tippett, this brief movement employs an array of prolational canonic techniques applied to the rhythmic structure of a five-measure passage for four horns extracted from my orchestral work "La Terre est un Homme". The discourse is divided into two concurrent processual strata clearly distinguished by timbral and textual ...
Brian Ferneyhough - no time (at all) for two guitars (2004) (with score)
Переглядів 3,2 тис.2 роки тому
The two guitars are tuned a quarter-tone apart, creating a "delicious wonkiness" (SundayTimes).
Brian Ferneyhough - Lemma-Icon-Epigram (1981) (with score)
Переглядів 1,9 тис.2 роки тому
"The title of this work refers to a poetic form, the Emblema, developed most notably by the Italian poet Alciati during the first half of the sixteenth century. In general usage, the term is taken to mean an epigram which describes something so that it signifies something else. Later developments distinguished three components: 1. Lemma - A superscription (or adage) 2. Icon - An image 3. Epigra...
Brian Ferneyhough - Missa Brevis (1969) (with score)
Переглядів 2,2 тис.2 роки тому
Performed by the BBC Singers, cond. Odaline de la Martinez. "...it's one of the most important of Ferneyhough's early works, composed at the time he was moving from Britain, where he had been studying with Lennox Berkeley, to Amsterdam, where the musical culture was much more forward-looking. Powerfully wrought and fiercely concentrated, it shows how far stylistically Ferneyhough had developed ...
Ferneyhough - La Chute d'Icare (1988) (with score)
Переглядів 6 тис.2 роки тому
"Like many of Ferneyhough's compositions, La Chute D'Icare has an extramusical inspiration. In this case, it is Pieter Brueghel's 1558 painting "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus." In Brueghel's painting, as in Ferneyhough's score, the individual is dwarfed by the landscape around him, and the dreamer's failure to overcome the laws of nature and subsequent crash is ignored by the people around....
Brian Ferneyhough: String Quartet No. 5 (2006) (with score)
Переглядів 2,3 тис.2 роки тому
Ferneyhough's 5th quartet was originally three movements compressed, or rather overlapped into one. "The piece is characterised by a series of textures that vary from the harmonics that return periodically (like a ritornello) to violent snap pizzicato and rapid staccato. The contrasting nature of neighbouring textures results throughout in a dynamic pattern of juxtaposition and release, aided (...
Birtwistle - Tenebrae (1992) (with score)
Переглядів 1 тис.3 роки тому
"Pray, Lord,/Pray to us,/We are near." Paul Celan, Tenebrae What greater blasphemy could one imagine then Celan's simple inversion? But blasphemy is not the order of the poet's famous verse Tenebrae, and certainly not the blasphemer's arrogance and pride. Celan's poem is one of the twentieth century's more lacerating responses to the horror of death camps, a kind of deliberately impossible requ...
Ferneyhough - Coloratura (1966)
Переглядів 2243 роки тому
An early piece by master of neo-complexity Brian Ferneyhough. "This short work for oboe and piano, composed in Coventry in 1966 and given its first performance in1972 by Heinz Holliger and Klara Körmendi in 1972, takes as its point of departure the very different natures of the chosen instruments. While each participant is assigned material of a particularly idiomatic nature (the oboe florid an...
Berio - String Quartet No 1 (1956)
Переглядів 5493 роки тому
Luciano Berio's first quartet was composed while he was still much influenced by Bruno Maderna, who had introduced the younger composer to the techniques of total serialism and the aesthetic of the Darmstadt school. "It is a typical work of its time, pointillist in its colours and textures, fragmentary in gestures, though even in such an early piece there are anticipations of the mature compose...

Xenakis - Plektó (1993)
Переглядів 1113 роки тому
Plektó means "braids," a term that refers to the contrapuntal weaving of strands into a whole. Xenakis treats the notion of strand in an abstract and deeply musical way, applying it to shifting elements throughout the piece. One braid is the juxtaposition of linear, melodic material with more chordal, percussive elements. The piano provides the balance to the sustaining instruments, and Xenakis...
Birtwistle - Duets for Storab (1983) (with score)
Переглядів 1 тис.3 роки тому
Harrison Birtwistle asked his publishers what they could sell most of, and the answer came "flute duets". So he wrote one each day over six days. "From 1975 to 1983 I lived in the Hebridean island of Raasay. On the ordinance survey map the name of Storab appears three times. Loch Storab, Storab's Burn and Storab's grave. Legend has it that Storab, a Viking prince, was shipwrecked and sought ref...

He passed away after he composed the last part of "Klang" - "Paradies". Still hard to understand his music, but interesting, though. Maybe he flew away to the paradise where he was thinking when he was alive - maybe he is still making his electronic music in his paradise. Rest in peace.
thank you for posting this.

bravo
Dear Contemporary Classical, It would be appropriate to credit the performers in the videos you post (thank you for this great resource, by the way), as a token of respect for the huge amount of work that all this sophisticated music requires, and the tantamount energy spent performing it. Best,
This is so beautiful...

Bin wegen der Biographie von oppie hier 😅
Trying to do this in my parish , Saint Georges church. So excited to see the result! Just wondering though, how many rehearsals will the assembly need to correctly answer to the Gloria
Icarus' fall as illustrated by that Herculean clarinet cadenza had me speechless when I first heard this. Most of Ferneyhough is admittedly beyond me, but I love this to bits. Hopefully I'll grow in to more of his work.

Сегодня, (17.06.2023 г.), День Рождения Игоря Фёдоровича Стравинского: 17 июня 1882 года. А Реквием 'Заупокойные песнопения', является Высшим достижением И. Ф. Стравинского; отличающимся истинным художественным прозрением. Он создал его в 84 года!
Computer music my phone AI can make.
This computer-assisted and generated music was greatly appreciated by my robot dog.
Is this performance by the composer himself?
yes it is.
Just Intonation makes the whole thing different...unique texture...Ferneyhough is just not from this Planet
If you’re on Facebook, check out the deluge of reactions to my post there.
I’m listening to it as I’m typing this. I’ll comment further when it’s finished. So far, it reminds me of the 60’s avant-garde. I was an undergraduate in the late 1960’s. It’s the type of music that I found very exciting at the time.. I have not listened to this music recently. I t is a masterpiece in the context of the 1960s. How does it fit in the bigger picture? I would like some insights into that. I’m not sure what to think.
In my personal opinion chiral works of Xenakis are more interesting, such as Serment, Nuits, Knephas, etc.

cool and beautiful. let's give some credit to Webern's op 11 for piano + cello, third piece's ending.
Yes, there are connections between the two pieces

It seems that the same performer played with overdub. It is so precise!
