Classical Music Discord: (http•••) OFFICIAL VIDEO: (http•••) Original BiliBili Upload: 【【米歇尔·凡·德·亚】近处 (Michel van der Aa - Up-Close) (2011)】 (http•••) Michel van der Aa ( b. 1970 ) Michel van der Aa (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌmixəl vɑn dər ˈaː]; born 10 March 1970) is a Dutch composer of contemporary classical music. Up-Close, for Cello, String Ensemble and Film ( 2010 ) In Michel van der Aa’s Grawemeyer Award winning cello concerto Up-close, the traditional interaction of soloist and ensemble is reflected by a mysterious, mirror reality seen on film. When the piece begins, a solo cellist and string ensemble sit on the right of the stage; on the left stands a large video screen. On the screen we see an elderly lady sitting among an arrangement of chairs and music stands that parallels the real-life version on the other side of the stage. It soon becomes clear that this is only one of a variety of interactions across a hall of mirrors created by the soloist, ensemble and film. Are the elderly woman and the cellist playing out the same role? The film is seen in excerpts ‘inserted’ into the music, so is the music driving the film, or the film the music? The music never ‘narrates’ the film, but somehow the two layers seem to extend one another around a common subject. Furthermore, the live instruments are augmented with an electronic soundtrack, which at some times seems closely related to their music and at others appears to derive from the ‘concrete’ sounds of the action on screen. Are these plural realities or versions of a single experience. Much is left unexplained and the course of the piece, including a striking coup de théâtre towards the end, provides no easy answers. One theme that does emerge, however, concerns loneliness. As in other Van der Aa pieces – such as the video opera One or the ensemble piece Mask – elements of an uncanny, inscrutable ceremony are never far away, and in Up-close these become part of the difficult ritual of human to human contact.

In the English capital he met again a former pupil of his father’s: the viola da gamba player and composer Karl Friedrich Abel. It was for the latter’s father, Christian Ferdinand Abel, a member of the Coethen orchestra, that Johann Sebastian had composed his Suites for unaccompanied cello. In London Johann Christian joined forces with the son, Karl Friedrich, and founded a concert society. They were joint directors from 1764 to 1781, and Abel continued for a while after Johann Christian’s death. They gave a concert every week and, as Burney tells us, "as their own compositions were new and excellent, and the best performers of all kinds, which our capital could supply, enlisted under their banners, this concert was better patronised and longer supported than perhaps any one had ever been in this country; having continued for full twenty years with uninterrupted prosperity.’ Johann Christian was among the first to play the pianoforte publicly in London (June 2, 1768). He and Abel thus presented themselves as performers and composers at the same time. When the eight-year-old Mozart arrived in London in 1764 he found Johann Christian concert director, harpsichord teacher to Queen Charlotte, accompanist to the King (who, like Frederick the Great, played the flute), and music master to the royal children. Mozart listened with all his ears to the new compositions of the two German masters who were then setting the tone of English musical taste, and even copied some of them out. (It is known that the Symphony in E flat major, K. 18, formerly attributed to Mozart, is actually by Abel.) Several sets of works have come down to us in which Johann Christian employs wind instruments, sometimes alone and sometimes in combination with strings. Opus 11 — six quintets for flute, oboe, violin, viola, and bass — was published by Welcker in London about 1776. The Quintet in D major, Op. 22 has the same instrumentation. Other works include a Quintet in F major for oboe, violin, viola, cello, and harpsichord, four wind quintets published in Dublin after the composer’s death and known as Military Pieces, and six Sinfonias for two clarinets, two horns, and bassoon usually regarded nowadays as arrangements. Mrs. Papendieck’s diary recounts an episode in Johann Christian’s life about 1776. "John Bach’ was in the habit of playing every Thursday at her house with the Queen’s chamber musicians, and he and Abel would take turns to compose something for these gatherings. One day, having forgotten that it was his turn, Johann Christian sat down before dinner and composed "a ravishing first movement for a quintet in E flat major"; two copyists wrote out the parts at his dictation as the work proceeded. This was the origin of the fourth Quintet of Opus 11. The completed set was dedicated to Karl Theodor, Elector Palatine at Mannheim, where Johann Christian had enjoyed a real triumph with his Temistocles in 1772, and where he presented Lucio Silla in 1776. The dedication of the Quintets read as follows: "Your Highness’s benevolent approval of my efforts at Mannheim has given me infinite satisfaction. Music and the fine arts, supported by your favor and guided by your taste and the thoughtful strength of your judgment, flourish there with unsurpassed vigor. Your Highness’s new command gives me the greatest joy. I am also eager to offer Your Highness this modest token of my constant gratitude for the consideration you have been pleased to accord me.”

Tchaikovsky: Six Romances, Op. 57 (1884) V. Death (Смерть) Moderato (F major) Tchaikovsky's Six Romances (Шесть романсов), Op. 57 (TH 105 ; ČW 275-280), were mostly written between September and November 1884, except for No. 1 which is from an earlier date. Instrumentation: Scored for high voice (Nos. 1, 5), medium voice (Nos. 3, 4), baritone (No. 2) or low voice (No. 6), with piano accompaniment. Tchaikovsky made minor changes to the texts of the poems used in On the Golden Cornfields (No. 2), Do Not Ask! (No. 3), Sleep! (No. 4), and more significant changes in Only You Alone (No. 6). Movements: V. Death (Смерть) Moderato (F major) If the roses fall silently If the stars fade in the sky The waves crash on the rocks, The ray of dawn on the clouds goes out, It's death, death. This is death, but without a painful struggle; This is death, captivating beauty, Promises a delightful rest, The best gift of all-good nature. She, the teacher of the divine, Learn, people, to die, So that with a meek and solemn smile, So that with a meek and solemn smile, Meekly meet your end. Dmitry Merezhkovsky, from an untitled poem (by 1883). Composition: The earliest of the romances to be written was Tell Me, What in the Shade of the Branches? (No. 1). In a letter to Pyotr Jurgenson of 1/13 December 1884 (see below). the composer expressed his surprise at this discovery of this romance, which it seems he had forgotten about. The exact time and place of its composition are uncertain. On the Golden Cornfields (No. 2) and Do Not Ask (No. 3) were composed at Pleshcheyevo in late September 1884. Before the rough draft of No. 2 in the composer's notebook is the date "Pleshcheyevo, 26 Sept 1884". Do Not Ask (No. 3) was composed next, and its text was probably chosen by Tchaikovsky after he read Goethe's novel The Apprenticeship of Wilhelm Meister("God, how marvellous this is..."), which he found in Nadezhda von Meck's library at Pleshcheyevo [4]. The remaining three romances were written in Paris between 19 November/1 December (the date of his arrival) and 1/13 December 1884, when Tchaikovsky wrote to Pyotr Jurgenson: "I was very surprised to learn that Komissarzhevsky has my romance. Incidentally, I already have another five. Congratulations to you on my new opus". Writing to Modest Tchaikovsky from Paris on 3/15 December 1884, the composer reported: "I cannot say that I am bored from idleness. I managed here to devise the main revisions to Vakula, and to write three new romances, and one church number". Publication: The romances were published by Jurgenson in April 1885, and in 1940 they were included in volume 45 of Tchaikovsky's Complete Collected Works, edited by Ivan Shishov and Nikolay Shemanin. Autographs: Tchaikovsky's manuscript scores of Nos. 2 to 6 are now preserved in the Russian National Museum of Music in Moscow (ф. 88, No. 143). The autograph of No. 1 is lost. Dedication: Each romance is dedicated to a different person: V. Dmitry Usatov (1847–1913), tenor who premiered the role of Andrey in Mazepa.

He was the son of a choirmaster and teacher, Johann Gänsbacher +••.••(...)), and as a boy sang in church choirs in Sterzing, Innsbruck, Hall and Bolzano; he also had lessons in piano, organ, violin, cello and thoroughbass. In 1795 he went to the university at Innsbruck and studied first philosophy, then law, supporting himself by giving music lessons, playing the organ, singing in church choirs and playing in the theatre orchestra. His first compositions date from this period. While at university he took part in four campaigns against Napoleon. In 1801 he went to Vienna to continue his musical studies, and was relieved of financial worries when Count Firmian, who further promoted his career as a musician, took him into his family as a son in about 1803. In Vienna he had lessons from the Abbé Vogler +••.••(...)) and from Albrechtsberger (1806). A Mass in C, composed through the offices of Vogler for Nikolaus Esterhazy in 1806, established his reputation as a composer. Nevertheless, he returned to Vogler in Darmstadt for a short period in 1810, where his fellow-pupils and friends included Weber and Meyerbeer, who admitted him as a founder-member of the ‘Harmonische Verein’, for which he was active until 1813. In January 1813 he met Weber in Prague and recommended him for the post of Kapellmeister of the theatre. In the summer of the same year Gänsbacher returned to the Tyrol to join the fighting to liberate the province from the Bavarian occupation. After the end of the war he did not return to the Firmian family but joined the army as a first lieutenant (1814). He was stationed first in Italian garrisons, in Trient, Mantua and Padua then at Innsbruck in 1815, where he again tried to gain a foothold as a musician. He worked as a conductor and director of a church choir, and helped to found the Musikverein, though he did not gain the position of chief conductor. He did not accept the post of director of music in Dresden, offered him at the instigation of Weber in 1823, since (after representations against the election of Joseph Weigl), he was appointed Kapellmeister of the Stephansdom in Vienna as successor to Josef Preindl in September 1824. One of the choristers was his nephew Anton Mitterwurzer +••.••(...)), later famous as an opera singer. From this time on Gänsbacher composed mainly church music, and only a few homage cantatas. By the time of his death he was one of the most famous musicians in Vienna. Some of Gänsbacher's early instrumental compositions, such as the Clarinet Concertino and the sonatas in F major (1803) and G minor (1810), are remarkable for the individuality of their ideas and their unconventional structure, while his Italian canzonettas and terzetti are effective for their reticent simplicity. Yet the works he composed later for social performance clearly show a deterioration of quality. Even before his 20 years at the Stephansdom, sacred music was becoming central to his output. Starting with the masses in C and B and the Requiem (1812), he wrote some creditable and well-regarded works in this field. Although they do not stand out from the manner of their time, and show little stylistic innovation, they nonetheless show Gänsbacher's considerable skill as a composer. His son Josef Gänsbacher +••.••(...)) studied the piano, the cello and singing, and went to university to read law, graduating in 1855. He practised law for a number of years, but concurrently gave piano and singing lessons, and in 1868 devoted himself entirely to teaching singing. From 1875 to 1904 he was a tutor at the conservatory of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, becoming by the turn of the century the most highly-regarded singing teacher in Vienna. Some of his pupils achieved international recognition, including Maria Wilt, Milka Ternina, Leopold Demuth and Julius Liban. Brahms dedicated his cello sonata op.38 to him. He was a composer, chiefly of songs but also of piano and choral pieces, and was a co-editor of the Schubert complete edition.
