Twisting curls of smoke rise from chimneys. In the distance, a church bell tolls. Leaves scuttle across the courtyard, which is empty save for a dying man swinging from the gallows. As the rest of the villagers go about their daily business, he raises his darkening eyes for one final glimpse of the sun, and listens to his death knell.

Extractions: 20th Century Composers message board: leave your comments The composers in this section all composed their music during the last century. Some of them are still composing today. Seems simple enough. But over the last 100 years, ideological changes and technical advances have affected not only the way that music is enjoyed but also the way that it is composed. These composers have all explored new and uncharted territory in terms of tone and structure, often abandoning or combining preconceived notions about the nature of classical music. Schoenberg developed the equally weighted twelve-tone scale, which abolished previously held ideas about tone. Debussy and Ravel experimented with Impressionism, which further destroyed traditional tonality.
Extractions: Crotchet Amazon UK Amazon USA Henry Cowell (1897-1965) pioneered most of the extended piano techniques now commonplace, and he wrote many pieces with his trade-mark 'tone clusters' (he invented the term) before he was 15. He founded New Music Quarterly and wrote an important book, New Musical Resources. Dubbed in London 't he Loudest Pianist in the World ' by The Times in 1920, his body of piano music is so large, and has become so influential, as to warrant in his honour a whole three-day festival in 1997 at Berkely, California, from which derives these recordings by four of the pianists who took part. Besides works like The Banshee and Aeolian Harp , which take us inside the piano lid, there are many other curiosities in this selection covering his output from 1912-1929, some of the pieces still unpublished. Cowell brings to mind another maverick original, Percy Grainger, which may give a lead as to what to expect. Each pianist describes what Cowell has meant to him/her.

Extractions: Much of what makes Matthias Goerne's artistry so special is that this young German baritone launched his international career as a song recitalist before branching out into opera, instead of the other way around. A virtually peerless interpreter in the core repertoire of German lieder the 19th-century romantic art song of Schubert, Schumann, Wolf and Brahms Goerne possesses an impeccably schooled voice of uncommon warmth and expressivity, emitting poetic words with melodious translucence and a heart-surrendering sense of truth and urgency. Coming directly from the hallowed art-song tradition of legendary postwar German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Goerne himself is often mystified by the largely intuitive interpretive process. Speaking from his home in Hamburg, Germany, the singer says that "the important part is to touch the center of the piece, the human conflict contained in these songs," as he prepares for his unprecedented series of recitals in San Francisco this month, performing a triptych of Schubert's great songs cycles. The lieder repertoire is among the most erudite and cultivated genres of chamber music, often requiring analytical as well as technical skills from the interpreter. But, ultimately, Goerne believes that performers have to touch the audience with the inner confrontation the singer creates when he or she is onstage working with this material.

Extractions: New Music: Piano Compositions by Henry Cowell (New Albion) MOST FANS of avant-garde jazz and improvised music are familiar with the extended techniques fists bashing against the keys, hands reaching inside to pluck the strings used by such innovative pianists as Cecil Taylor, Marilyn Crispell, and Greg Goodman. But fewer probably understand the seminal contribution of the late Henry Cowell (1897-1965). This compelling 70-minute distillation of three all-piano concerts from the 1997 "Cowell and His Legacy" tribute festival is a brilliant corrective. Held in UC Berkeley's Hertz Hall, the festival included performances of music by such Cowell students and colleagues as Lou Harrison, John Cage, Charles Ives, and Ruth Crawford, along with new music by Terry Riley, Meredith Monk, "Blue" Gene Tyranny, and others. But the relatively short Cowell pieces 26 of them here established the tone and organizing principle of the event. Derk Richardson Buena Vista Social Club presents Ibrahim Ferrer (World Circuit/Nonesuch) LAST YEAR when the Afro-Cuban All-Stars performed at UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall, the snow-haired Ibrahim Ferrer awed the audience with his big Buena Vista Social Club hit "Dos gardenas." It's a beautiful bolero, and Ferrer articulated its melodicism with his warm voice and well-seasoned wisdom. It was a stunning moment for the 72-year-old sonero from Santiago, Cuba, who in the heyday of Havana was a popular musical performer onstage and on radio, scoring a big hit in the '50s with "De camino a la vereda."

Extractions: By Laurence Donohue-Greene Griffin was soon joined by oboist Matt Sullivan and conductor David Gilbert (Boulezs assistant conductor at the New York Philharmonic throughout the 70s), who stepped up to center stage from where he was seated to the side of the stage during the opening duration of the trombone, trumpet, clarinet trio. The ensuing traffic Gilbert casually directed included a climaxing momentum of random sounds presented, in particular, by trumpeter London. Londons diverse experiencewith such artists as John Zorn, Mel Torme, David Byrne, LL Cool J, They Might Be Giants, The Klezmatics, as well as his own group Hasidic New Wave-serves as a perfect example of what kind of varied background most members of the Downtown Ensemble are capable of having. Second oboist, Jacqueline Leclair and bassoonist John Winder, joined London in the bombardment of indiscriminate, yet effective stray notes. Collectively, the remaining members of the Downtown Ensemble manned their stations so to speak, raising their respective horns up to mouth level on cue. With all members participating in a minimalist and post-minimalist fashion showering of overtones and undertones, the string section began to serve as a layer atop the reeds, as the reeds glided over the brass section in a texturally haunting mode. The string section of viola, three cellos, and bass moved enmasse from bowing to plucking while trombonist, Zummo, filled the leftover gaps.

Extractions: Phrygian Gates c ommissioned by Mack Mccray Fitst performed, March 17, 1997 by Mack McCray, pianist, Hellman Hall, San Francisco Duration: 22 minutes China Gates written for pianist Sarah Cahill Duration: 5 minutes Publisher for both works: Associated Music Publishers (G. Schirmer, Inc.) Phrygian Gates and its little companion piece, China Gates , are products of a critical period in my career as a composer. Together they comprise what could be my "opus one" by virtue of the fact that they appeared in 1977-78 as the first coherent statements in a new language. Several earlier pieces from the 1970’s, American Standard Grounding and some tape compositions, seem in retrospect to be inventive but still searching for a means of holding themselves together. Phrygian Gates I Ching did not seem all that far removed from making them by consulting a tone row. Minimalism, alhtough an admittedly reduced and at times naive style, offered me a way out of this bind. I found the combination of tonality, pulsation and large architectonic structures to be extremely promising. Phrygian Gates shows in as clear a way possible how I approached these potentials of Minimalism. Paradoxically it also reveals the fact that from the start I was already searching for ways to convolute and enrich the inherent simplicities of the style. (The phrase, often attributed to me, that I was "a Minimalist bored with Minimalism", was the remark of another writer, yet it was not far from the mark.)

Extractions: My earliest technical training was in the tradition of the finger independence and stretching exercises that are far too familiar to most pianists. However, I eventually studied with a teacher who encouraged a technique that resulted in less stress to the body. This approach involved much relaxation and was a welcome change from the finger isolation of my earlier playing. For a number of years, I believed that this relaxed approach would prevent future injury and satisfy my needs as a pianist. Unfortunately, as years passed I became less satisfied with my tone production. My sound often seemed uncentered, particularly in passages of extreme speed. As a result of this dissatisfaction, I started making a transition back toward finger isolation. In March 2000, I was busy, but not unusually so, learning pieces for composers and accompanying instrumentalists. I generally spent between eight and ten hours at the piano each day. One week, I began learning a piece with many intervals of tenths and even a few elevenths, many of which also included a third note in the middle. (At that time, I naively took pride in not needing to arpeggiate the large intervals). Within the first few days, I began to experience an unusual pain in my left thumb. Focused on upcoming performances, I denied the pain until one morning when the pain woke me after only a few hours of sleep. I reluctantly postponed some
