Mark Andre - ...auf... I, for orchestra (2005/06) SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg Conductor - Sylvain Cambreling Mark Andre s compositions '...auf...' [...on...] are three independent orchestral pieces. Taken together, they can be heard as a cycle or as a triptych, like a three-part altarpiece. Though they are related, each work begins again the search for new resonances and means for transitions between sounds. ...auf...1 begins with a sustained and spherical sound of the strings. Later the band of sound is invaded by short impulses of the other instruments: the harps play with plectrums while the cellists and double-bass players briefly tap with their fingertips on the resonating bodies of their instruments, the trumpets whistle, and the horn players tap on their mutes with the palms of their hands. Two essential elements of the piece are a short, impulsive attack of a sound, on the one hand, and its resounding and fading away over a long period of time, on the other hand. In ...auf...2 at first two pianos present a dialogue of short events rich in accents and colours before the other orchestral instruments join in. Harmonious, inharmonious, and noise-like sounds are juxtaposed to each other. Compared to ...auf...1 , the orchestral instruments in this piece move even more strongly into strange sometimes metallic and technical, sometimes surreal spheres of sound. Here too, the sonorities coalesce into short impulses and long bands of sound. For the orchestral layout of ...auf...3 the percussion section is expanded to six players positioned around the audience; in addition, a sampler keyboard is supposed to be on the stage as well as live electronics with loudspeakers surrounding the audience. The live electronics follow a precise plan as to when which sounds of the orchestra are to be reproduced additionally from which loudspeaker. A special program for electronic sound transformation permits the so-called convolution of two different input signals: this makes it possible to connect the attack of one instrument with the resonance of another. A drumbeat can for example produce the resonance of a piano, or a string pizzicato can become a sustained flute sound. In the course of composing ...auf...3 the use and implementation of this still-quite-young process was pioneering work for the participating sound engineers and the composer.

Henri Dutilleux - Correspondances, for soprano and orchestra (2002-03) Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France Conductor - Esa-Pekka Salonen Soprano - Barbara Hannigan I. Gong 1 - 0:00 II. Danse cosmique - 1:36 Interlude - 4:01 III. À Slava et Galina... - 4:55 IV. Gong 2 - 10:15 V. De Vincent à Théo... - 12:29 Correspondances is a song-cycle for soprano and orchestra written by the French composer Henri Dutilleux in 2002–2003. It consists of five episodes and an interlude. The work was premiered by Simon Rattle and Dawn Upshaw with the Berlin Philharmonic on 5 September 2003 and has since been performed all over the world. It lasts 22 minutes. The title refers both to letter writing and to synaesthesia in the Baudelairian sense i.e. symbolic "correspondences" between the senses and the world. It is based on texts by Rainer Maria Rilke, Prithwindra Mukherjee, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Vincent van Gogh. Although they come from disparate sources, they are unified by their mystical inspiration and especially their concern about the place of humanity in the Cosmos. Each episode highlights a particular family of instruments. For instance, woodwinds and brass are prominent in De Vincent à Théo..., echoing the painter's use of colour while an accordion and strings, in particular a cello quartet, dominate in À Slava et Galina (that letter was addressed to legendary cellist Mstislav Rostropovich and his wife, soprano Galina Vishnevskaya). Danse cosmique, opens with timpani and pizzicato strings before the whole orchestra surrounds the singer. The work contains quotations from Modest Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov as well as Dutilleux's own Timbres, espace, mouvement in Solzhenitsyn's letter and van Gogh's respectively. It was recorded by Esa-Pekka Salonen and Barbara Hannigan (for whom the composer wrote a new finale) with the Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France in 2013. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondances Join the Score Video Creator Discord Server: https://discord.gg/QRbwTRs PATREON - Pay a small monthly fee and gain access to my online score library, full of rare scores that I have used in videos - https://www.patreon.com/ryanpower PAYPAL - Donations of any amount welcome! - https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/officialryan3?country.x=GB&locale.x=en_GB ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqYsMlc1F9g
