Programme Note SIRENENGESANG was composed in the spring 1994 and was commis-sioned by the AVANTI! Chamber Orchestra. The work was written with support from NOMUS. The music is not a romantic reflection on presumed siren songs. The title expresses an impalpable conception which manifests itself in dense quartertone-distorted melodies and manic, almost frozen tone-repetitions. Sometimes the music becomes static screams, sometimes there is room for small naive fragments of melody. By the end of the piece a fragment from the 'Angel-Duet' of my THE ECHOING GARDEN emerges. SIRENENGESANG is dedicated to Per Norgard. Bent Sorensen.

If you're lucky, somewhere in your past is that one person who changed your life forever. The one who pushed you to dream bigger and to reach higher, and who set you straight on what matters in life. For Joanne Lipman and Melanie Kupchynsky, that person was a public-school music teacher, Jerry Kupchynsky, known as Mr. K - a Ukrainian-born taskmaster who yelled and stomped and screamed, and who drove his students harder than anyone had ever driven them before. Through sheer force of will, he made them better than they had any right to be. Strings Attached tells the inspiring, poignant, and powerful story of this remarkable man, whose life seemed to conspire against him at every turn and yet who was able to transform his own heartache into triumph for his students. Lyrically recounted by two former students - acclaimed journalist Joanne Lipman and Mr. K's daughter, Chicago Symphony Orchestra violinist Melanie Kupchynsky - Strings Attached takes you on a journey that spans from his days as a forced Nazi laborer and his later home life as a husband to an invalid wife, to his heart-breaking search for his missing daughter, Melanie's sister. This is an unforgettable tale - a captivating narrative that is as absorbing as fiction - about the power of a great teacher, but also about the legacy that remains long after the last note has faded into silence: lessons in resilience, excellence, and tough love.

Žibuoklė Martinaitytė tells about the background of Aletheia (2022) for mixed choir (SSSSAAAATTTTBBBB): Aletheia is variously translated from Greek as unconcealedness, revealing or unclosedness. It is uncovering of the Truth - the one we are afraid to face, the truth that can only be expressed directly through the pre-verbal communication. How do you find words for the horrors of the war, for all unimaginable global atrocities? How do you even allow yourself to feel it out? Solely through art, through music that offer a safe space and a formalized framework for processing these accumulated complex emotions and sharing them with others in a moment. This piece has no verbal text and it is based on various combinations of vowels and consonants, thus connecting us on a deeper level through the immediate emotional experience.The war in Ukraine in spring of 2022 had an impact on all of us and shattered my deeply rooted Lithuanian identity. When the freedom is threatened and innocent people are dying, it is hard to make sense out of the reality. Yet there is poetry even in the worst nightmares. I was imagining that the only instrument people have even in situations of destruction, in the midst of the war, is their VOICE. It brought back memories of my youth when Singing revolution was taking place in the Baltic countries. Human voice was the only weapon that people used to express their determination for freedom and independence. Voice is our first and the very last instrument we have in our lifetime. Thinking in these terms brings almost a sacred dimension to the voice as an expression of the life itself - from the very first baby's scream until the last breath and whisper.Duration c. 15'The works of New York -based Lithuanian composer Žibuoklė Martinaitytė (b. 1973) have been lauded as breathtaking and profoundly moving. Her stimulating music bristles with energy and tension and revolves often around the subject of beauty, which she calls both a guiding principle and an aesthetic measure for sonic quality.

The stands are packed, two world-class teams are on the field, the smell of hotdogs fills the air and fans chant and scream. All of these contribute to create stadium fever. The composer has conveyed these elements in the composition including the aspect integral to the fever: an atmosphere full of excitement. De tribunes zitten stampvol, er staan twee teams van wereldklasse op het veld, de geur van hotdogs hangt in de lucht, de toeschouwers juichen - allemaal factoren die horen bij het verschijnsel ‘stadionkoorts’. De componist heeft indit uitbundige werk dan ook al deze elementen verklankt. Het meeslepende Stadium Fever zal in de concertzaal absoluut een opgetogen stemming creëren!Volle Zuschauerränge, zwei Spitzenteams auf dem Rasen, der Duft von Imbissständen, Jubel und Gesänge - das sind Faktoren, die unweigerlich Stadionfieber“ auslösen. All diese Elemente - und das eindeutige Symptom der Krankheit“: eine tolle, überschäumende Stimmung - übertrug der Komponist in sein Stück Stadium Fever. Ein mitreißendes Stück, dessen Atmosphäre sich auch im Konzertsaal garantiert keiner entziehen kann! Les gradins sont bondés, deux équipes de niveau international s’affrontent sur le terrain. Il plane une odeur de hot-dogs, les chants et les hurlements des supporters retentissent inlassablement - tous les éléments sont réunis pour engendrer la fièvre du stade. Le compositeur a su concentrer tous ces symptômes dans son œuvre afin d’inoculer tous les auditeurs, l’excitation et la fièvre du stade. Thomas Doss descrive l’atmosfera unica di uno stadio prima e durante un incontro al vertice. Non solo il gioco, ma anche e soprattutto i tanti striscioni, e i canti provenienti dalle curve fanno da padroni in Stadium Fever, un brano dall’energia travolgente.
