Getraumt wurde 1989/90 im Auftrag des Deutschen Musikrates komponiert und kann entweder von 36 Frauenstimmen oder 36 Mannerstimmen aufgefuhrt werden. Die Komposition verwendet isolierte Fragmente, die dem Gedicht ,,Nachtflug von Ingeborg Bachmann entnommen sind.Der Gedanke der kompositorischen Verwendung eines homogenen vokalen Klangapparats von vielen solistischen Stimmen, der ahnlich einem ,,Tausendfussler funktionieren sollte, d.h. trotz maximaler Individualisierung der einzelnen Glieder die Scharfe der zentralen Integration nicht verliert, war grundlegend fur dieses Werk. Nicht die Semantik, sondern die Klanglichkeit der Worter, deren Atomisierung, die assoziativen Verbindungen unterschiedlicher Partikel die Isolation und Hervorhebung einzelner Phoneme, standen bei der Komposition im Vordergrund. Die ,,ecriture der im Kreis um den Horer platzierten 36 Stimmen (in der Partitur auf 9 Gruppen zu je 4 Stimmen verteilt) versucht die auskomponierten Raume und die entsprechenden Klangwanderungen wie in einem ,,pulsierenden Ozean schwebender Klange maximal zu differenzieren. So gibt es z. B. in den Takten 50-53 der Partitur elf verschiedene Farbflachenarten, die sich verzahnen: 1) Farbmischung von: gesungen und geflustert auf ,,R 2) knarrende Stimme 3) Sprechgesang-Impulse in den extremen Lagen, so schnell wie moglich 4) Mischung von: a) Schnalzen in Richtung Gaumen, Mundstellung offen/zu, b) Lippengerausch ahnlich dem Gerausch eines Korkenziehers, c) Schnalzen in Richtung vordere Zahne, Mundstellung offen/zu, und d) knarrende Stimme 5) Pfeifimpulse 6) Pfeifen mit gleichzeitigem Sprechgesang, glissando 7) Pfeifen mit gleichzeitiger Singstimme, glissando 8) rhythmisiertes Alternieren von Schnalzen in Richtung vordere Zahne, Mundstellung offen/zu 9) Flustern mit Handvibrato 10) Singstimme auf ,,a 11) ,,Einatmen-Ausatmen-Impul se Das Schleudern der Gerauschpartikel durch den 36kopfigen Klangapparat beruht auch auf Kategorien visueller Dimension: dem Einbeziehen von Nahe und Weite, Linie und Flache, Oszillation und Stillstand, Richtungsanderung oder Pendeln der Klange. In letzter Konsequenz will die Komposition die Illusion eines expandierenden Klangraumes mit migrierenden Punkten und Figuren schaffen. So wird die Partitur zu einer ,,Landkarte der in Raum beweglichen ,,Klanglandschaft, die aus dem Zusammen- und Wechselspiel vieler filigranartiger, in sich geschlossener Klangfelder entstanden ist. Auch wenn grossere Blocke oder Flachen im Werk sich entfalten, deuten sie immer auf die Fluchtigkeit, die Instabilitat und Zerbrechlichkeit des Moments.CDs:ORF-Chor, cond.

Ampero amp modeler & effects processor is a game changer. Its heart pounding amp modeling and uber quality effects are powered by the new-gen CDCM HD (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling High Definition) and F.I.R.E. (Field Impulse Response Enhancement) system, bringing you the absolute best the world has to offer. Packaged in a cool, thin case with a 4-inch hi-def color touch screen, Ampero delivers all the real sounds of rock past and present. Driving Ampero is Hotone's innovative CDCM HD (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling High Definition) and F.I.R.E. (Field Impulse Response Enhancement) system. Built on Hotone's powerful XTOMP platform, acclaimed Binary series, and breakthrough VStomp Amp virtual plugin, the new-gen CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. system showcases Hotone's new high-shelf circuit modeling methods. Mainstream modeling methods are generally based on static state circuitry modeling or “black box” theory, which just “come close” to the modeled sound. CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. employs a complex system based on dynamic feature modeling. In this matrix, the technology rebuilds the entire circuitry using modeled electronic components, resulting in a tone that is vivid, accurate and expressive. More than that, the new system enhances the relationship between amps and PA systems, delivering a realistic feel and response you've never before experienced on digital gear.

The first impulse to compose these 3 Little Suites for Guitar came from the desire to offer very young students compositions not framed by the usual features of â??music for childrenâ?? but, rather, meant to introduce into their musical horizon sonorities, rhythms, and expressive modalities not generally experienced in the more â??traditionalâ?? courses of study.
As the compositions developed, the project underwent some slight modifications, so that in the end one could say that the three suites became progressively more difficult, though remaining, in their deep essence, quite â??simpleâ??.
I would recommend paying careful attention to the titles of the pieces and to the expressive markings. Although it was not my intention to write â??descriptiveâ?? music, I have tried to handle these pieces like stage scripts, giving each a specific â??characterâ??. For this purpose my long experience as a composer of theatre music has been very helpful.
It would give me great satisfaction if guitarists of every age would enjoy performing these suites. I would like teachers to find in them cues for proposing to their pupils further refinements concerning both technique and expression, never forgetting how inexpressible music truly is.
(Carlo de Nonno).

Commissione d by the Kolner Philharmonie (KolnMusik) for the non bthvn projekt 2020 and the Cite de la musique / Philharmonie de Paris Dedicated to Arditti Quartet Each movement of this quartet explores a single state, its lights and its shadows. Each movement, you could say, is a moment . And these moments could last for more or less time without compromising their essential nature. The processes could be extended or compressed, repeated or reversed, but the core ideas - if they are ideas, but maybe they are simply experiences? - are what they are. Despite this, the precise sequence of movements matters a great deal. Heard together they do articulate some kind of linear narrative, maybe even a metaphorical journey (albeit a circular one where the arrival might, who knows, prove to be a new departure). One situation gives way to another and instrumental relationships within the quartet vary, but ultimately the imaginative impulse behind the piece preferences states of unity. Whether or not this unity is expressed texturally - sometimes literal unisons pervade, but not always - there is generally a sense that even seemingly diverse aspects relate to a fundamental condition of concord: a conscious limitation in the pitch structure to spectral emanations of the root notes E-flat and C. At the opening this is unambiguously audible in the perpetual alternation of these two notes in the low cello register. Later the two spectra are woven into a micro-tonal 'double-spectral-mode' (derived from the first 24 partials of the C and E-flat fundamentals), which defines the subtle melodic inflection of the second movement, and the never-quite-chromatic ascending scales of the third. For now this feels like a rich source of melodic possibility, so far only just glimpsed... And why the insistence on E-flat? Probably by way of historical anecdote. Apparently Karl Holz (a member of the Schuppanzigh Quartet) said to Beethoven: We performed your Quartet in E-flat Op. 127 in his [Weber's] honour; he found the Adagio too long; but I told him: Beethoven also has a longer feeling and a longer imagination than anyone standing or not standing today. - Since then, even Linke (another member of the quartet) can no longer stand him: we cannot forgive him for this. Listening again to Op. 127, in light of these comments, I was struck by the opening moment: the unfolding of an E-flat 7th chord over the course of a few bars. Every time I hear it I find myself wishing that Beethoven would have lingered longer there, without resolution or progression, just enjoying that sonority. And maybe - why not? - tune the 7th naturally. And what would it be to stretch that moment into an entire piece? What would Weber think of that?! In the end I was not so extreme in my self-limitation, and other concerns took over, but it was from these thoughts that the composition process began... Lastly, about the title: it comes from a book called 'The Clock of the Long Now' by Stewart Brand, published at the turn of the millennium. It's about the creation of a thousand-year clock to embody the aspiration to thinking in terms of longer time-spans than are presently habitual. If the music of Beethoven embodied a 'longer' feeling and imagination than some of his contemporaries were able to appreciate, what is our relation to time now? Longer or shorter? Maybe it depends who you ask... It's probably more extreme in both directions: attention spans might be diminishing in the digital world, but conversely there is an awareness of distant pasts and potential futures which would have been inconceivable at the time of Beethoven. In any case, the interesting thing is to ponder how societal conditions, assumptions and expectations might - whether consciously or unconsciously - influence the time of art, for listeners and creators alike. And what if time is running out? (Christian Mason)

The Credo belongs to that large group of church works which Vivaldi composed in Venice between 1713 and 1717 for the Ospedale della Pieta, then his primary place of employment. The composition, conceived solely for choir and strings, is characterized by a two-layered formal design: a continuous, basic motivic idea, i.e., a constant rhythmic impulse with rapid tone repetition builds an instrumental layer, while on the other hand the writing for choir renders the text in a blocklike structure in chordal declamation. This structure will only be abandoned briefly in the concluding section of work, where the text Et vitam venturi saeculi is embedded in a concise fugue. Score available separately - see item CA.4000400.

Though the work bearing this title is a portrait of childhood, it is a childhood quite different from the purely gameplaying and dreamlike childhood that is customarily represented. The childhood described here is carrying the seed, in all its purity, of all positive and negative qualities to be found the fully-grown men: a childhood both angelic and diabolical, and indeed very close to Henry James' The Turn of the Screw which was the direct inspiration for this monodrama.Its growth follows the innumerable sudden changes, turns and contrasts of the unsophisticated spirit. There is hardly any development at all, as each idea gives birth to the next or rejects the previons one, being object to every impulse, every tempest, every flux, every fear and delight. After a dreamlike introduction, in which two simple melodies stand out, comes a sudden awakening, Allegro, stamped all over with lavish and forever regenerating dynamism. A sudden halt leads a kind of outburst from the most simple folklore is singing, in regular, repeated notes. Again the question mark leads us to another melody, Tranquillo, of a sweet tempo, but brilliantly decorated with counter-point, its cursive traits leading this time to a kind of roguish march (Vigoroso).Yet soon there emerges a melancholic chant, Largo, in the Cromorne's timbre, and then, in the highest register of the Trumpet there reappears like a metamorphosed memory, the theme of the second movement. Passing other episodes, we come to Tempo giusto, insistent and glorious, interrupted by other passionate figures, cut off by unsettling silent moments and taken up again in always accelerating volleys.

Bei der Arbeit am 'Siebengesang' setzte ich mir zum Ziele, die vielschichtigen Wechselwirkungen zwischen einem Individuum (dem Solisten) und seiner Umwelt (dem Orchester) aufzuzeigen und daraus formgebende satztechnische Impulse zu gewinnen.Das Werk 'Siebengesang' ist 7teilig: in den drei ersten Teilen treten sich das Soloinstrument und verschiedene selbstandige, nach Register und Klangfarben geordnete Orchestergruppen gegenuber. Im 4. Teil durchdringen sich Solooboe und ein Ensemble von 4 linearen Instrumenten. Der 5. Teil ist ein grossangelegtes Orchester-Crescendo. Uber 23 von Gong-Signalen markierten 5-Sekunden-Abschnitten werden nach und nach die verschiedenen Orchestergruppen (jede mit individuellem Tempo) ubereinander geschichtet. Der 6. Teil konfrontiert mit Hilfe eines im Innern des Instrumentes angebrachten Mikrophons verstarkten und verzerrten Oboenklang mit dem ganzen Orchester, wobei die neuen, ungewohnten Klange der Oboe das Klangspektrum des Orchesters in grossem Masse beeinflussen. Auf knappstem Raum werden hier in hektischem Wechsel die aussersten strukturellen Gegensatze zusammengedrangt. Im sehr ruhigen Schlussteil vervielfacht sich die Oboenpartie in 7 Singstimmen, denen als phonetisches Material die Schlussverse von Georg Trakls Gedicht 'Siebengesang des Todes' zugrunde liegen [.].-Heinz Holliger
