Commandé par le théâtre d'Etat Oldenburg, ' Episodes ' pour orchestre complet a été créés en 1962 et a été présentés comme un ballet intitulé ' Pas de deux '. La structure formelle de la composition est basée sur les cinq phases de la classique 'grand pas de deux', avec les deux premières sections Entrée et Adage étant Unis dans un mouvement. La matière musicale de base est définie par un mode de sept-note (tous les demi-tons dans la plage de la Trichrome C - fa dièse) qui varie en fonction de plusieurs façons dans les mouvements rythmiquement influencées. Cette musique, dans sa férocité et pithiness, se classe parmi les plus expressifs scores par Bertold Hummel, et ses représentations de théâtre et de concert visent également à captiver l'auditoire. / Grand Orchestre

“Born in 1958, polish musician Adam Polachowski studied music at the Arts Academy in Poznan, Poland before being appointed as percussionist at the Poznan Wielki Theatre, as well as performing soloistically. As a prolific percussionist himself, Polachowski's Seven Episodes for Snare Drum and Bass Drum are very well-informed. Polachowski's study book is intended for percussionists who have already mastered Bass Drum pedal technique. Seven Episodes for Snare Drum and Bass Drum addresses varying rhythmic combinations, counterpoint, different timbres, dynamic variations and changes of tempo. A helpful glossary is included and, with written instruction in French, English, German, Spanish and Italian, Polachowski's study book is highly accessible. For all aspiring percussionists, Seven Episodes for Snare Drum and Bass Drum is essential.&rdquo.

In deze compositie draait het om de terts. Zoals een persoon zijn of haar voorkomen kan transformeren door het veranderen van kleding of haardracht, zijn hier alle mogelijkheden van de terts gebruikt: majeur, mineur, overmatig enverminderd. Een zelfde thema is in alle drie de delen te herkennen. De terts wordt steeds gevarieerd en veranderd, dat wil zeggen aangepast aan de situatie. Het is mogelijk om de drie delen zonder langere pauzes te spelen als eencompleet stuk (attacca).In verschiedenen Situationen (Episoden) reagiert eine Person aufgrund ihrer Charaktereigenschaften und Verhaltensweisen immer wieder ähnlich. Daher legte Adolf Götz in seiner Komposition für Akkordeonorchester ein aus der Terz gestaltetes Thema allen drei Sätzen zugrunde, mal variiert und umgestaltet und somit der jeweiligen Situation angepasst. Die Sätze können nacheinander oder ohne größere Unterbrechungen als geschlossenes Stück (“attacca“) aufgeführt werden.Episode s est une suite de petites narrations musicales dont chacune est représentée par une figure caractéristique individuelle qui se distingue par un motif de base. Dans cette pièce, il s’agit de l’intervalle de tierce. Toutes les possibilités de l’intervalle sont exploitées la manière d’une personne qui changerait de style en portant d’autres vêtements ou en changeant de coiffure. Ainsi, un thème formé partir d’une tierce pourra être entendu travers les trois mouvements du morceau ; sous forme de variante et retravaillé pour être adapté la situation. Les trois mouvements de cette suite peuvent être enchaînés sans pause, afin de constituer une grande pièce deconcert (attacca).

These short pieces are inspired by the extraordinary piano music of the little known Yorkshire composer William Baines. Baines died in 1922 at the age of 23 but left behind a substantial catalogu e of over 150 works. Likened to that of Scriabin, Baines’ piano music is sensuous, highly coloured and quite unlike anything being written by his British contemporaries. Shadows (Volume I) are reflections on episodes from Baines’ life and diary entries, each piece incorporating a chord, a gesture or a figuration from one of Baines’ solo piano works. It was particularly fitting that the set received its premiere in Yorkshire inthe fabulous surroundings of Ripon Cathedral.

“S entences is a thirty-minute meditation, in collaboration with Adam Gopnik, on several episodes drawn from the life and work of Alan Turing. Turing lived, in a sense, many different lives, but at the heart of his work was, I think, a very musical set of anxieties. Even the idea of code-breaking is inherently musical; the French for score-reading is déchiffrage: deciphering. His wartime work on the Enigma code translated, later in life, to a more nuanced relationship to code in the form of a primitive but emotionally (and philosophically) complicated artificial intelligence. The piece uses a single voice not to speak necessarily as Turing, but as a guide through these various episodes.I've always felt that the question of sentient computers is wildly emotional: we anthropomorphise the Mars Rover, imagining its solitude on that dusty planet. Any act of communication in which the second person is unseen can be a one-way conversation. An email, sent, can never be returned - did it arrive or did it not?, or a text message can be delivered but never read. The thrill of a fast response is immediately tempered with the harsh but empty rudeness of an out-of-office reply. Anybody who has made a condolence phone call only to hear the voice of the deceased on the outgoing answering machine message knows the complexities of what could be a simple binary communication.” –Nico Muhly.
