Until 1940 he lived in Rotterdam, where most of his scores were destroyed during the bombing by the Germans in May of that year. During World War II Escher composed Musique pour l'esprit en deuil +••.••(...)), which was first performed in 1947 by the Concertgebouw Orchestra under van Beinum and which made him overnight the most important composer in the Netherlands. From 1945 until his death he lived in Amsterdam. After a short study at the Electronic Studio of the Delft Technical University he taught +••.••(...)) at the Amsterdam Conservatory. From 1964 to 1977 he taught theory of contemporary music at the University of Utrecht. The result of his teaching is to be found in many studies in the field of music theory and audiology. He was also a talented writer and painter, continuing to publish poetry in literary magazines until well into the 1950s. From 1945--1946 he wrote on music and art for the Groene Amsterdammer. Escher's music is lyrical, expressive and elegiac, with a great propulsive force, more French then German in its orientation (the main influences being Ravel, Debussy and Mahler). It is always basically tonal, and mostly cast in a strictly contrapuntal frame with chains of variations. Everything he wrote can be clearly discerned by the ear. In 1938 he wrote: 'The miracles of a piece of music will never be revealed, unless in a natural way, through sounding and hearing. That means sounding well and hearing well. The latter condition is a priori impossible if the former one cannot be fulfilled'. (Toscanini en Debussy). Apart from this technical aspect of composing, Escher discerned a psychic one: 'The technique of a composer is intimately related to his spiritual and intellectual self, his psyche'. This can be seen in his war compositions, such as Musique pour l'esprit en deuil, the Sonate concertante (1943) for cello and piano, Arcana (1944) for piano (originally called Arcana Musae Dona), and the first two movements of the Sonata for cello solo (1945; the third movement was completed in 1948). Each of these compositions is in a way an impressive 'document humain'. The works written immediately after 1945 do not reflect the war in the same way, but Escher's longing for peace is reflected in the 'Arcadian' choral works such as Songs of Love and Eternity (1955) and Ciel, air et vents (1957). As a theorist, Escher analysed many 20th-century scores from Debussy to Boulez, explaining the latter on the basis of Escher's own analysis of the former's music. As a composer, however, he preferred to remain true to the music of Debussy and Ravel without denying the technical implications of the music of the serialists, as in his Second Symphony (1958, revised in 1980), Wind Quintet (1967) and Monologue for flute solo (1969). In the early sixties Escher tried to extend his technique towards electronic music and serialism, but after several crises he was unable to find a technique which would allow him at the same time to remain true to his psyche. The results of this search are nevertheless interesting, and the brilliant Wind Quintet (1967) and Summer Rites at Noon for two orchestras (1971) are examples of Escher's technical and emotional powers. The sound of the Wind Quintet is dominated by the timbres of alto flute, oboe d'amore and bass clarinet. Only at the end is the alto flute replaced by a normal flute for a brilliant and exciting 'lark solo'. Here Escher combines Debussian intervallic manipulations with Boulezian structural formulae. Kernels of intervals grow into motifs and melodies through rhythmical development. The main structure consists of three movements (A1--B--A2), which are linked by two short bridges (Z1 and Z2). Each movement consists again of three segments (a--x--a), which results in six 'a' segments accelerating from Largo to Prestissimo, while at the same time the 'x' segments slow down from Moderato to Largo. The Prestissimo combines the flute's 'lark solo' with the other instruments playing Largo underneath. Escher received several prizes for his compositions, including the van der Leeuw Prize (1959) for Le tombeau de Ravel, the Visser-Neerlandia Prize (1961 and 1968) for Nostalgies and the Wind Quintet, the Willem Pijper prize (1966) for the Sonata concertante for cello and piano and the Johan Wagenaar prize for his total output.

Poco lento - 12:36 Doris Hochscheid, cello Frans van Ruth, piano The CD and more information on Dutch Cello Sonatas are available at: www.cellosonate.nl Sem Dresden was a Dutch composer and teacher. The scion of a diamond-broking family, his father tried to suppress his musical interests; nevertheless he managed to study with Roeske and Zweers in Amsterdam. On the strength of a promising student piano piece, he was sent in 1903 to study composition and conducting under Pfitzner at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin. Pfitzner unexpectedly steered his compositional interests towards French Impressionism; he also encouraged Dresden to remain in Germany as an opera conductor. After two years, however, he returned to the Netherlands. There, aided by his wife Jacoba, a noted alto, he began a career as choral conductor; he also continued to compose. From 1914 to 1926 he directed the nine-member Madrigal Society, which earned international repute for its painstaking performances of Renaissance and contemporary choral music; it was succeeded, from 1928 to 1940, by a larger chamber choir in Haarlem. In 1919 he had been appointed head of composition at the Amsterdam Conservatory and was its director from 1924 to 1937. With Pijper in 1922 he established the Dutch ISCM chapter. His erudite articles in De Amsterdammer and De Telegraaf +••.••(...)) were a progressive influence in Dutch musical life. Dresden was named director of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague in 1937 but served only three years before being dismissed, due to his Jewish ancestry, by German Occupation functionaries. He spent most of the war interned on an estate in Wassenaar; despite dangerous conditions he composed assiduously through these years. He resumed his post in The Hague after liberation, remaining until his retirement in 1949. Many noted Dutch musicians were his students, including Monnikendam, Godron, Smit, van Beinum, Felderhof, van Otterloo, Mul and Cor de Groot. Throughout his career Dresden served on numerous boards and committees, especially in choral education and music for youth. Such administrative functions together with composing occupied him after retirement. In his final hours, confirming the religious tendencies in his later works, he became a convert to Roman Catholicism. The compositions written shortly after his return from Berlin show largely French influences, as in the four suites for wind and piano composed for the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Sextet. The impressionistic Sonata for Flute and Harp (1918), which emphasizes contrasting instrumental timbres, was acclaimed in both France and Holland. Dresden's later music is essentially tonal, but with modal twists and frequent added-note chords. An elastic use of metre may reflect his lifelong involvement with Renaissance polyphony. Long-arched, soaring melody is another hallmark, present in virtually every work from the Sonata for Flute and Harp onwards. Through his choral experience he became fascinated with traditional Dutch songs, of which he made many popular arrangements. In addition, he used these tunes to generate themes in original compositions, either overtly (Quartet no.1) or as a form of musical punning or submerged quotation (Cello Sonata no.2, Piano Trio); Bizet and Wagner fragments are treated similarly in the Flute Concerto. This concern with motivic development carries over into the Dansflitsen, where a seven-movement dance suite grows out of one small motif. In the Chorus tragicus (1927), to a text by Vondel concerning the fall of Jerusalem, unusual choral techniques are used, with suggestive sound effects in the brass and percussion accompaniment. In this work, the Chorus symphonicus, St Antoine (written for an international congress of church music in Augsburg), Psalm 84 and St Joris, Dresden emerges as his country's leading twentieth-century composer of oratorios and festive choral music. The Chorus symphonicus, his most monumental composition, was written during World War II. The texts, from the penitential psalms, reflect the hardships and bitterness of everyday life in those years. By contrast, the operetta Toto, about a little dog concealed from licensing authorities, is a humorous representation of Dresden's own existence during the Occupation. Dresden's last composition was the one-act opera François Villon, to his own text. His pupil Jan Mul prepared the orchestral score after the composer's death, and the work was first performed during the 1958 Holland Festival. It was praised as the most striking Dutch opera to date.
