Hiératique - Lent [10:16] Ensemble Modern Orchestra, Pierre Boulez (2007) "The first orchestral arrangement of Douze Notations was made shortly after the collection had been composed. The 11 orchestral pieces (Notation 6 was omitted because of its pianistic texture) are direct transcriptions of the versions for piano. Leaving the substance of the originals intact, Boulez merely orchestrated them in the way piano music had customarily been arranged for orchestra. In later years, however, he distanced himself from this initial arrangement of Notations, which explains why this student effort, unlike the original piano version, is still unpublished and unperformed. Boulez returned to his youthful Notations from a new vantage point in the latter half of the 1950s. In 1957 he used material from it in music for a radio play. One year later he drew on it for his Mallarmé cycle, Pli selon pli. For example, a passage from the second section of that work, 'Première Improvisation sur Mallarmé', is based on Notations 5 and 6. Boulez's major involvement with the material of Notations began in the late 1970s. In the background were his acoustical experiments at the IRCAM in Paris and his intense study of the music of Richard Wagner. In 1976 he conducted Patrice Chéreau's groundbreaking new production of the Ring at the Bayreuth Festival. Over the next three years Boulez continued to spend part of the summer in Bayreuth conducting the repeat performances of this so-called 'Centenary Ring'. It was in this context, in 1978, that he lit on the idea of returning to his early work, still lying in his filing cabinet. He started to produce a second orchestral arrangement on days when he did not have to conduct or rehearse. 'First I thought of a straightforward orchestration. But then I noticed that more was needed, since the pieces were far too short for a large orchestral apparatus. After all, there is, more or less, a relation between the length of a piece and the size of the orchestra. So I had to treat these ideas as raw material. I thought, "All right, I've got these ideas which are very short. I'll have to expand them and see how they develop." It was very interesting work. On the one hand there was a great distance from the ideas, which lay far back in time; yet on the other hand the ideas were, for me, full of possibilities that I had entirely overlooked in 1945. They were early pieces viewed through the looking glass of today.' The resultant 'Notations pour orchestre', which remains unfinished, is thus a fresh recasting of the early piano pieces. The ideas stated there in rough outline function like germ cells, unfolding in the light of possibilities raised by the medium of the orchestra. The proliferation, expansion and multiplication of the basic material are so far-reaching that the connections between the piano pieces and their orchestral counterparts often become evident only after deeper study. For example, Boulez developed the roughly one-minute piano piece Notation 7 into an orchestral piece of some nine minutes' duration. The orchestral versions of Notations 1-4 were premièred in June 1980, with Daniel Barenboim conducting the Orchestre de Paris. Some 17 years later Boulez developed an orchestral version of Notation 7, which Barenboim premièred with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on 14 January 1999 (it was subsequently revised). And as recently as summer 2012, the composer confided that he was working on an orchestral version of Notation 8. In short, the Notations project was Pierre Boulez's most longstanding 'work in progress'. Still incomplete at the time of his death, it reflects his fascination with the metamorphosis and further evolution of his own musical creations: 'Proust wrote only one novel. Joyce, too, wrote only about Dublin: first Dubliners, then Ulysses and finally Finnegans Wake. It is practically the same book, but with enormous differences. I work in a similar vein; my work consists of spirals. I frequently adopt the metaphor of the spiral because it’s always endless – a form at once complete and incomplete, finite and infinite. That fascinates me. It’s why, to my mind, the most interesting museum is the Guggenheim in New York. We view exhibitions there differently than in a normal museum because we see the future, the present and the past all at once. We see what we’ve seen, and we see what we’re about to see. I find that a very interesting perspective.'" (source: excerpted from Explore the Score) * This is by far the largest orchestral score I have made a video for. Apologies if it is unreadable, but I love these works too much to pass on making this. 8K version of the video here: (http•••) *
