It has been 18 years since we launched the first Musicarama festival in 1992. The mission of Musicarama is to promote creativity, innovative ideas, advanced musical appreciation, and virtuosic performance. In the past 18 years, we have witnessed the success of many Hong Kong composers who have had their commissioned works premiered in the festivals by distinguished overseas or local musicians and were subsequently having their pieces performed or broadcast elsewhere or won international prizes. The participation of visiting ensembles and overseas composers in Musicararma has also strengthened our tie with contemporary music development elsewhere in the world and provide local audience with good opportunities to experience some very fine music.

With the generous support from our major sponsors CASH Music Fund and the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, Musicarama 2010 is able to present over 30 compositions in five concerts this year. In this year’s programme, we have 10 premieres and many latest works written by the Hong Kong composers, including one by the cross-over composer/musician Chris Babida. A new feature in Musicarama 2010 is the incorporation of three featured composers of different generations and artistic outlooks: Masataka Matsuo (Japan), Dobrinka Tabakova (Bulgaria/UK), and Chan Hing-yan (Hong Kong). Besides having their music featured in the concerts, these composers will present their composition ideas in three Composer’s Forum sessions. We are honoured to have the distinguished Japanese ensemble next mushroom promotion performing in this festival, with the sponsorship of Japan Foundation. Locally, we are also grateful for the keen support the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, the Chinese Music Virtuosi, and the Four Gig Heads Percussion Group. This year also marks the third collaboration between the Guild and the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong whose innovative programming have been their trademark in the last 10 years. We owe our thanks to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department who provides us the excellent venue facilities, and to RhapsoArts Management Ltd who has been giving us the very important administrative support. I hope you will share our enjoyment of the exciting music in this festival.

Dr. Joshua Chan Chairman of the Hong Kong Composers' Guild

我們自1992年第一次主辦「音樂新文化」至今已經18年了。「音樂新文化」的使命是推廣創作、創新思維、深究音樂欣賞、及推介技巧高超的音樂演出。在過去18年間，我們見證了很多香港作曲家的成功例子。他們藉著這個音樂盛會而得到出色的海外及本地音樂家首演其委約作品，並因而得到及後的海外演出及廣播機會，或贏取國際作曲獎項。海外演奏隊伍及海外作曲家的參與「音樂新文化」也加強了我們與世界音樂發展潮流的聯繫，也讓本地聽眾有很好的機會接觸到一些非常精緻的音樂。

我們非常感謝香港作曲家及作詞家協會轄下的CASH音樂基金及香港藝術發展局的慷慨贊助。在這些財政資助下，今年的「音樂新文化」共有30首作品於五場音樂會中發表，當中包括10首首演作品及多位香港作曲家的近期新作，包括跨界別音樂家鮑比達的作品。「音樂新文化2010」的其中一項新猷是推介三位不同年代及藝術取向的主題作曲家：松尾祐孝（日本）、塔芭高娃的（英國/保加利亞）及陳慶恩（香港）。他們將在三個特設的作曲家論壇上暢談他們的作曲理念，我們也會在音樂會中欣賞到他們的多首作品。我們深感榮幸能在日本基金會的支持下邀請到日本著名的現代音樂組合nmp合奏團來港獻藝，也感謝本地傑出隊伍香港創樂團、龢鳴樂坊及四擊頭敲擊樂團的鼎力支持。今年也是聯會與香港城市室樂團的第三次合作。他們在過去十年間成功樹立了富於曲目創新的美譽。康樂文化事務署給予我們的各項場地設施亦是這個音樂節能成功舉辦的重要一環，特此鳴謝。我們也感謝華意堂藝術策劃提供至為重要的行政協助。我祝願各位聽眾能與我們分享這個音樂節的奇妙音樂旅程。

Paul Zukofsky is a violinist, conductor, and chamber musician. He is generally associated with the advancement and performance of modern music, having premiered and recorded works by Wuorinen, Glass, Carter, Babbitt, and numerous other twentieth century composers. But he has also divulged a sympathy for the music of Bach in his well-received recordings of the solo sonatas and partitas.

Zukofsky showed interest in music before the age of three and started taking his first lessons on the violin at four. His skills advanced so rapidly that he began studies with Ivan Galamian when he was just seven. His resumé as a child performer is equally impressive, having given his first public concert at six and his first with an orchestra, the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, when he was 10. Three years later, he gave a recital at Carnegie Hall. By the mid-1960s, Zukofsky had become well known in both solo and chamber repertory. In the latter genre, he would team up with Gilbert Kalish for many concert appearances and recordings over the years. He also began conducting orchestras, often chamber-sized ensembles and usually in modern repertory. He served as music director for one season (1978-1979) of the Colonial Symphony Orchestra, a Madison, NJ, based ensemble. In this post, however, he also conducted works by Beethoven, Mozart, and other mainstream composers. Zukofsky has also led the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble since the 1970s, becoming its conductor in 1984. Beginning in the 1970s, Zukofsky developed a relationship with the Reykjavik College of Music in Iceland, regularly appearing in concerts and conducting seminars there. He also appeared in many concerts as conductor at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in the last two decades of the twentieth century, often leading the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble and the Juilliard Orchestra. Zukofsky became a close friend of composer Philip Glass in the early 1970s and even appeared as Einstein in his opera Einstein on the Beach (1976). The character Zukofsky portrayed, of course, does not sing, but plays the violin instead. Zukofsky inspired Glass to write his Violin Concerto (1986-87) and gave the work's premiere on April 5, 1987, with the American Composers Orchestra under the direction of Dennis Russell Davies. From 1992-96, Zukofsky was director of the Arnold Schoenberg Institute at the University of Southern California. As both a conductor and violinist, he remains active in the new century and has made over 60 recordings for a number of labels, including Sony, Camerata, CRI, and one of his own, CP2, of whose parent company, Musical Observations, Inc., he is president. He has extensively recorded for this label since the early 1990s, issuing performances of works, often in premiere issues, by Cage, Feldman, Xenakis, Glass, and several other modern composers. ~ Robert Cummings, Rovi

素高斯基身兼小提琴演奏家、指揮家及室樂演奏家於一身。除了精於當代音樂之外，其演繹的巴赫無伴奏小提琴奏鳴曲及組曲專輯，亦獲高度評價。

素高斯基幼時是音樂神童，10歲已與紐黑文交響樂團同台演出，13歲登上卡內基音樂廳的舞台。至1960年中期，他以其獨奏及室樂作品的演奏而稱譽樂界，多年來與卡利希合作於不同的音樂廳演出及灌錄唱片。自1970年代起，他開始指揮交響樂團，尤以室樂團為主，並主力演奏現代作品。自那時起他便與當代室內樂團合作，並於1984年成為該團的指揮。自1970年代起，他經常與冰島的雷克雅未克音樂學院合作，並於該校演出及講課。1980至2000年，他常以指揮身份，帶領當代室內樂團及茱莉亞樂團於林肯表演藝術中心演出。1970年代初，他與Philip Glass成為密友，並於他的歌劇《海灘上的愛因斯坦》(1976)中擔演愛因斯坦一角。素高斯基啟發了Philip Glass創作《小提琴協奏曲》 (1986-87)，並為該作品於1987年的首演擔任獨奏，演出的還有由美國作曲家交響樂團。1992-96年，他於南加州大學擔任荀伯格研究所的總監。本世紀至今，素高斯基仍以指揮及小提琴家身份活躍樂界，並為多個品牌包括Sony、Camerata、CR1及CP2錄製超過60張專輯，其中CP2是他名下的品牌，他自1990年起多次為此品牌錄製專究輯，當中包括多首樂曲的首演，包括Cage、Feldman、Xenakis、Glass,及其他當代作曲家的作品。

Home (2010) Galison Lau (b. 1983)

I came across this part of the World history, the World War II, recently, especially after I made a Jewish friend. His passion to his race has moved me. In addition, I was also deeply moved by my visit to the New England Holocaust Memorial during a trip to Boston. It touched me even though it is a small place. As a result, I gathered some information about the concentration camps, and also read a book which features drawings and poetries of children then imprisoned.

The idea of this musical work comes from a children’s poem from the Terezin Concentration Camp, 1942-1944. Here is the poem entitled Home.

I look, I lookinto the wide world,into the wide, distant world.I look to the southeast,I look, I look toward my home.I look toward my home,the city where I was born.City, my city,I will gladly return to you.

~ Franta Bass

The piece’s beginning portrays the gloomy atmosphere of the concentration camp. It moves on closely following the poem’s narratives. The mood is twisted at the end as the author could not make it home.

* * *Galison Lau completed his Bachelor’s degree at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA), studied with Wing-fai Law, Clarence Mak, and Samuel Lo. He also completed his Master’s degree at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), studied with Leonardo Balada and Fabien Lévy.

Mr. Lau’!s composition Spelling Vocabularies was performed in ISCM – ACL World Music Days 2007. It was also being chosen as one of the pieces from Hong Kong in the 2006 International Rostrum of Composers in Paris. The same work was selected to be performed in Musicarama 2005 in Hong Kong, and was chosen for the finals of the New Generation 2005 in Hong Kong.

Last Year, Scents, for string quartet, was read by Parker String Quartet and was chosen to be first prize in CMU Student Composer's String Quartet Readings. Dairy Farm with Composers is written for the opening of the new theater of the HKAPA. In November of 2005, Jasmine and the Lotus Land was performed at the Lilian Baylis Theatre in Sadlers Wells, London. Finally, his work Emotions was performed in June of 2005 by the Varshavsky Shapira Piano Duo.

家 (2010) 劉詠 (1983年生)

早前我對第二次世界大戰的史事很有興趣，尤其當我交了位猶太人朋友之後，他對自己種族的熱情打動了我。另外，去年於波士頓參觀新英倫浩劫紀念公園的感受也很深，所以之後找了一些關於集中營的資料，以及一本書，收集了當時集中營中小朋友的畫與詩。

此曲靈感來自一位於1942 - 1944年生活於泰雷津集中營的小朋友所作的一首詩。

7

音樂開端形容集中營的氣氛，隨後緊貼詩中的描述。由於那位小朋友最終仍不能回家，所以音樂最後加了一段道出現實的淒慘。

* * *劉詠 畢業於香港演藝學院，師隨羅永暉、麥偉鑄及盧厚敏。去年於美國卡內基美隆大學碩士學位畢業，師隨Leonardo Balada及Fabien Lévy。

作品《學生字》於2007國際現代音樂節演出。亦曾被獲選代表香港於巴黎的2006 International Rostrum of Composers 播放。同曲亦入選音樂新一代2005決賽，及後這首曲亦被選於音樂新文化 2005演出。

去年由Park String Quartet於卡內基美隆大學試奏作品《氣味》，獲得弦樂四重奏比賽冠軍。2006年他為香港演藝學院新落成的劇院開幕創作了《牛奶瓶與作曲家們》。《蓮花地上的茉莉花》是為香港演藝學院與英國Guildhall School of Music & Drama交流而作，於英國倫敦演出。此外，為雙鋼琴而作的《情感》，亦由兩位以色列鋼琴家於2005年演出。

Exuberance (2010) Ng Wah-hei (b. 1982)

In this scherzo-and-trio-like composition, the composer tries to combine the oboe and the brass trio in different ways - at first the oboe is obviously a soloist (indeed the piece starts with a oboe solo), presenting a comic theme (perhaps with a bit of seriousness) over a march-like accompaniment of the brasses. The atmosphere in the trio is somber and the brasses try to merge with the oboe to share an equal role. The piece ends with a varied reprise of the scherzo with exciting brass writing.

* * *Ng Wah-hei obtained his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Music degrees from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, studying composition with Wing-wah Chan and Victor Chan. He also obtained his DMA degree at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), where he taught non-Western music and composition to undergraduates. His composition teachers at UMKC include Chen Yi, Zhou Long and James Mobberley. His music has been performed by violinist Liu Xiao, Jenga Percussion Quartet, Talea Ensemble, NEXTET, Les Six, and Grammy Award-winning conductor Charles Bruffy with his Kansas City Chorale.

During his undergraduate study, Ng was twice awarded the Yu-luan Shih Creativity Award of Chung Chi College. He is a regional winner of SCI/ASCAP Student Composition Commission 2008. He also won the Crescendo Choral Competition. Music festivals in which his music has been featured include the Asia Pacific Festival, the Oregon Bach Festival, Nevada Encounter of New Music, the CHASM Festival at Florida State University and Palatino Festival in Beijing.

Ng was also awarded the First Prize in the Chamber Music Composition Competition at UMKC and the Max Di Julio Prize at the Nevada Encounter of Music. Recently, he was awarded the 2nd place at the Beethoven Club/Belvedere Festival Composition Contest and was chosen as one of the four participants in the EarShot/Pioneer Valley Symphony New Music Readings.

Ng’s compositions have been performed in different countries. His trio Sleepless City was performed in New Zealand in 2006, and Four Rossetti’s Poems for soprano and piano received its UK premiere in 2007. Beyond the Life for solo violin was performed in Beijing at Palatino Festival 2008.

躍 (2010) 伍華晞 (1982年生)

如何在這首諧謔曲似的作品中結合雙簧管和銅管樂器是一個很難處理的問題。作曲家首先把雙簧管定為獨奏樂器，銅管樂只是伴奏。直到那深沉的中段時，兩組樂器才慢慢的結合，樂曲最後在令人興奮的銅管樂演奏下結束。

* * *伍華晞曾於香港中文大學音樂系就讀，獲文學士及音樂碩士學位，主修作曲，師承陳永華教授和陳偉光教授，並於美國密蘇理州州立大學取得音樂博士學位，其老師包括陳怡、周龍、及James Mobberley。

他的音樂曾經由本地和國際著名音樂家演出，包括中央音樂學院小提琴教授劉宵、格林美得主Charles Bruffy、紐約Talea現代音樂室樂團、六秀士等。作品多次獲獎，並在香港、美國、紐西蘭、英國及中國等地方演出。

The Night has Gone (2010) Victor Chan (b. 1959)

This is a new version of my earlier work Music for Eleven Instruments, in which the ensemble is consistently divided into the string quartet, the woodwind quartet, and the brass trio, with the interactions among the three groups being the major element of interest. Great emphasis has been given to exploring the subtly changing harmonic colours building on the principle of conventional harmony. The mood of the music changes accordingly, reminding people of the hope for a brighter tomorrow, as suggested by the title of the piece.

* * *Victor Chan is an active composer, conductor and contemporary music promoter. He has produced over 200 works to date, ranging from opera, orchestral works, to numerous chamber works, choral pieces and songs, many of which are published and released on CD.

Major works of him include commissions for the 1997 reunification, the 1997 WBG/IMF, the Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France, the 50th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, the centenary of the Citigroup, and the 30th anniversary of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra.

Victor Chan served as vice-chairman of the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild for twelve consecutive years since 1993. From 1997 to 2000 he was appointed Composer-in-Residence of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. In the year 1998, he was granted the ‘Ten Outstanding Young Persons Award’. Victor Chan joined the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1989 and was the former Dean of General Education of the Chung Chi College. He is now serving as Professor at the Music Department and Director of its MA Programme.

長夜不再 (2010) 陳偉光 (1959年生)

這是以早期作品「為十一件樂器而寫的音樂」為基礎的一個全新版本，樂曲有致地把十一件樂器分為一隊弦樂四重奏、一隊木管樂四重奏、以及一隊銅管樂三重奏，三組的互動是主要的趣味所在。樂曲也極強調在傳統和聲運用上，探索和聲色彩的微妙變化，樂曲的氣氛也就隨著此種變化，相應地、緩慢地轉變起來，彷彿在黑夜中，漸漸看到黎明的曙光，長夜不再。

* * *陳偉光是一位活躍的作曲家，亦積極從事現代音樂推廣。至今他已完成超過二百多個作品，包括有歌劇、管弦樂曲、室樂作品、樂器獨奏曲、合唱及獨唱歌曲等，其中不少已出版及灌錄成唱片。

9

陳偉光的主要作品以管弦樂居多，包括了應「九七回歸慶典」、「世界銀行及國際貨幣基金組織年會」、「法國電台管弦樂團」、「中國建國五十週年慶典」、「花旗集團一百週年慶典」、及「香港管弦樂團三十週年慶典」而委約的原創音樂。

陳偉光自1993年起連續十二年出任「香港作曲家聯會」副主席，並於1997至2000年獲委任為「香港管弦樂團駐團作曲家」。1998年，他獲選「全港十大傑出青年」。自1989年至今，他一直任教香港中文大學，並曾出任「崇基學院」通識教育主任，現為音樂系教授及文學碩士課程主任。

Café Concertino (1984) Carl Vine (b. 1954)

Café Concertino revolves around a simple cycle of fifths. Although in a single movement, the work contains four distinct sections. The first interprets the series C-G-D-A-E-B as a C major tonality, and the following series (F#-C#-G#-D#-A#-E#) as an F# major tonality. The complementary series of [Eb-Bb-F-C-G-D] and [A-E-B-F#-C#-G#] give the remaining tonal centres of A and Eb major respectively. This approach to fifths and the consequent tritones (C-F#, Eb-A) continues through each section, with an emphasis on creating tonal ambiguity through chord inversion and octave doubling. The tonal "centre" of the second section is A, while in the third F# major and Eb minor are visited alternately. The final section is a recapitulation centering on the tritone and its derivation from the cycle of fifths.

Although overtly academic in structure, Café Concertino gleans much of its gestures and materials from chamber music of the last century, not always with due reverence.

Café Concertino was commissioned by the Australia Ensemble with assistance from the Music Board of the Australia Council. It was first performed by the Australia Ensemble at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, on the 16th November, 1984.

* * *Carl Vine first came to prominence in Australia as a composer of music for dance, with over 20 dance scores to his credit. His catalogue now includes 6 symphonies, 4 concertos, music for film, television and theatre, electronic music and numerous solo and chamber works. Although primarily a composer of modern 'classical' music, he has undertaken tasks as diverse as arranging the Australian National Anthem and writing music for the Closing Ceremony of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics (the Sydney 2000 presentation).

Born in 1954 in Perth, Western Australia, he studied piano with Sephen Dornan and composition with John Exton at the University of Western Australia. Moving to Sydney in 1975, he worked as a freelance pianist and composer with a wide variety of ensembles, theatre and dance companies. He has been resident composer with the Sydney Dance Company (1978), the London Contemporary Dance Theatre (1979), the New South Wales State Conservatorium (1985), the Australian Chamber Orchestra (1987) and the Western Australian University (1989).

In 1979 he was co-founder of the contemporary music ensemble Flederman, which specialised in the performance of new Australian music and presented many of Carl's own works. He has given the premiere performance of several Australian works for solo piano, and has appeared as conductor and pianist in Europe, UK and the USA. From 1980 to 1982 he was Lecturer in Electronic Music Composition at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music.

咖啡室小協奏曲 (1984) 凡恩 (1954年生)

《咖啡室小協奏曲》以五音階的簡單循環為主軸，雖然樂曲為單章節，但卻有四個獨特的段落，第一段以C-G-D-A-E-B音列來詮釋C大調作為主調，第二段以F#-C#-G#-D#-A#-E#的音列來強調F#大調調性，其餘兩個輔助的音列[Eb-Bb-F-C-G-D] 及[A-E-B-F#-C#-G#]則分別以A大調及Eb大調為重心。五度音程的處理及接著的「三全音音程」 (C-F#及 Eb-A) 貫穿每個段落，透過轉位和弦及八度重奏來加強調性的含糊感。第二段的主調為A，第三段則為F#大調與Eb小調的相間互動。最後一段是重現部，強調「三全音音程」及五度音程循環的重現。

這作品的結構學術味雖然較濃，其素材與音樂意象卻源於上世紀的室樂作品，但也非一成不變。

《咖啡室小協奏曲》由澳大利亞樂團在澳大利亞議會音樂理事會的資助下委約創作，並由該樂團於1984年11月16日於倫敦伊麗莎白女王音樂廳作首演。

* * *凡恩於澳洲以編寫舞蹈音樂而漸露頭角，其舞蹈作品超過20首。他亦曾創作6首交響曲及4首協奏曲，其餘包括電影、電視及戲劇配樂、電子音樂，以及獨奏及室樂作品。他的作品雖然以現代「古典」音樂為主，不過其風格多樣化，他亦曾改編澳洲國歌，以及為1996年亞特蘭大奧運閉幕禮2000年悉尼奧運前瞻環節編寫音樂。

凡恩1954年生於西澳洲的柏斯。他於西澳洲大學分別隨Sephen Dornan及John Exton學習鋼琴及作曲。1975年他遷居悉尼，並為多個樂團、戲劇及舞蹈團擔任特約鋼琴師及作曲家。他亦曾為以下機構擔任駐團作曲家，包括悉尼舞蹈團 (1978)、倫敦當代舞蹈團 (1979)、新南威爾斯省音樂學院 (1985)、澳洲室樂團 (1987) 及西澳大學 (1989)。

1979年他成為當代樂團Flederman的聯合始創人，該樂團主力演奏澳洲新音樂，當中包括不少由凡恩編寫的作品。他曾首演多首澳洲鋼琴獨奏作品，並曾於歐洲、英國及美國擔任指揮及鋼琴獨奏。1980至1982年，他於昆士蘭音樂學院出任電子音樂作曲的教授。

Vortex Temporum (1995) Gérard Grisey (1946-1998)

The title Vortex Temporum indicates the beginning of a system of rotation, repeated arpeggios and their metamorphosis in various transient passages. There are three basic original events - a sinusoidal wave - and two continuous events, an attack with or without resonance as well as a sound held with or without crescendo. There are three various spectra: harmonics, 'stretched disharmonics' and 'compressed disharmonics'; three different tempos: basic, more or less expanded, and more or less contracted. These are the archetypes that guide Vortex Temporum.

The piano used in the work is tuned a quarter tone lower, which changes the sound of the instrument, at the same time facilitating the integration within micro-intervals, which are essential in this work.

The three portions of the first part, dedicated to Gérard Zinsstag, develop three aspects of the original wave: the sinusoidal wave (vibration formula); the square wave (dotted rhythm) and the jagged wave (piano solo).

The second part, dedicated to Salvatore Sciarrino, approaches the same material in expanded

11

time. Initial Gestalt appears here only once, spreading throughout the entire part. I tried here to create the feeling of the confused speed inside the slow tempo.

Part three, dedicated to Helmut Lachenmann, introduces a long process allowing the creation of interpolation, which appears between the various sequences. Continuity gradually establishes, and expands, finally becoming a kind of widely conceived projection of the events from the first part.

Short interludes are planned between the parts of Vortex Temporum. A few breaths, noises and discrete noises colour the awkward silence, and even the discomfort of the musicians and listeners, who hear their own breathing between the parts.

Vortex Temporum was commissioned by the French Ministry of Culture, Ministerium für Kunst Baden-Würtemberg and the Westdeutsche Rundfunk Köln, at the special request of 'Ensemble Recherche'.

~ Gérard Grisey

* * *Gérard Grisey was born in Belfort on June 17th, 1946. He studied at the Trossingen Conservatory in Germany in 1963-65 before entering the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris, where he won prizes for piano accompaniment, harmony, counterpoint, fugue and composition. During this period, he also attended Henri Dutilleux's classes at the Ecole Normale de Musique (1968), as well as summer schools at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena (1969), and in Darmstadt with Ligeti, Stockhausen and Xenakis in 1972.

He was granted a scholarship by the Villa Medici in Rome from 1972 to 1974, and in 1973 founded a group called L'Itinéraire with Tristan Murail, Roger Tessier and Michael Levinas, later to be joined by Hugues Dufourt. Dérives, Périodes and Partiels were among the first pieces of spectral music. In 1974-75, he studied acoustics with Emile Leipp at the Paris VI University, and in 1980 became a trainee at the I.R.C.A.M. In the same year he went to Berlin as a guest of the D.A.A.D. He was professor of theory and composition at the University of California at Berkeley in 1982-86. After returning to Europe, he taught composition at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris, and held numerous composition seminars in France (Centre Acanthes, Lyon, Paris) and abroad (Darmstadt, Freiburg, Milan, Reggio Emilia, Oslo, Helsinki, Malmö, Göteborg, Los Angeles, Stanford, London, Moscow, Madrid, etc.). Gérard Grisey died in Paris on 11 November 1998.

Among his works, most of which were commissioned by famous institutions and international instrumental groups, are Dérives, Jour, contre-jour.

時間的漩渦 (1995) 里塞 (1946-1998)

《時間的漩渦》這命題描述一旋轉體系的開始，在不同的音樂段落中加入重覆及其蛻變。作品運用了三個原型：一組正弦曲線波及兩類持續音樂型態、另一組時有時沒有共鳴的擊打音嚮，及一種或可漸強與否的聲音。另外尚有三組聲譜：和弦、延伸的不協調和弦及壓緊的不協調和弦；三組不同節奏式：基本、稍作擴大及稍作收縮。這些就是《時間的漩渦》的原型。

用以演奏此曲的鋼琴，比正常調低了1/4音，除改變了樂器的音色外，更提供了微音程整合的方便，於作品中極為重要。

第一部份反分三段，題獻給Gérard Zinsstag，以原來的音波型作發展：正弦波 (振動公式)；矩形波 (點陣節奏) 及鋸齒狀波 (鋼琴獨奏)。

第二部份，題獻給Salvatore Sciarrino，以擴張的時間觀來處理同樣素材。最初的原型只出現一次，但伸展至整個部份，我嘗試於慢節拍中製造令人迷惑的節奏。

第三部份，題獻給Helmut Lachenmann，引出一個延長的過程，從而容許於不同的系列中製造插補。持續性續漸形成並擴展，最後變成第一部素材的化身。

《時間的漩渦》的不同部份之間有短暫的停頓。呼吸聲、雜音及互不相連的聲音讓令人困窘的靜寂，甚至利用段與段之間演奏家與聽眾聽到自己的呼吸聲所感到的不安來增強音樂的色彩。

《時間的漩渦》獲法國文化部、巴登符騰堡文化部及科隆的西德廣播公司所委約，特別為Recherche樂團而作。

Founded in 1983, the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild is a professional association of serious composers with objectives to promote and cultivate music composition in Hong Kong. Apart from organizing concerts, publishing scores and producing recordings of works by Hong Kong composers, the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild also takes an active part in arousing interest in composition especially amongst youths and in developing music as a vital creative art form in Hong Kong. Organizing composition competitions and sending composers to the community and schools are its regular activities. The Guild works closely with professional musicians and institutions in not just concert performances, but orchestration workshops, field trips, forum, commissions, and community services. It has also established strong links with many international organizations and has played a significant role in international music exchanges.

Apart from being the Founding Member of the Asian Composers’ League, the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild is a National Section of the International Society for Contemporary Music. It also co-operates with RTHK to send a composer as representative to the International Rostrum of Composers organized by UNESCO in Paris each year. The Guild’s predecessor is the Hong Kong Section of the Asian Composers' League which was founded in 1973. With the leadership of the former and present Chairmen Doming Lam (1973-1983), Richard Tsang (1983-1993), Chan Wing-wah (1993-2004) and Joshua Chan (2004-), the Guild has hosted the following cultural events which have contributed significantly to the musical development of Hong Kong:

With its outstanding track record of musical contribution, the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild is highly respected by the international community of composers. Besides having Hong Kong composers' works frequently featured in international music festivals, the Guild’s Honorary President Doming Lam was named the ISCM Honorary Member in 2007. Its Founding Chairman Richard Tsang was elected as the ISCM President in 2002 and 2005. Its present Chairman Joshua Chan was elected as the ACL Chairman in 2007 and 2009. The Guild's former Chairman Chan Wing-wah also served the ACL as the Vice-Chairman and Executive Committee member on various occasions.

The daily operations of the Guild have been carried out with voluntary services by its council members who are elected once every 2 years. In order to ensure the best financial accountability, the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild, as a non-profit-making organization, has registered as a company limited in 2001. In July 2010, the Guild has been given the first time an One-year Grant by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, which would enable the Guild to hire a part-time staff and rent a small office.

香港作曲家聯會成立於1983年，是本地嚴肅音樂作曲家為培育及推介音樂創作而成立的一個專業組織，現有超過90名會員。除定期舉辦新作品音樂會、出版樂譜及唱片錄音外，香港作曲家聯會更致力提高大眾、特別是青年人對作曲的興趣，及在香港將音樂作為一種極為重要的創意藝術來推動其各方面的發展。香港作曲家聯會已經與許多國際組織建立緊密的聯繫，並在國際現代音樂交流方面擔當一個非常重要的角色。

香港作曲家聯會除了是亞洲作曲家同盟創會成員國（地區）外，也是國際現代音樂協會的會員國（地區）。香港作曲家聯會更與香港電台合作，每年派出一名作曲家代表香港出席巴黎舉行的聯合國文教科學組織「國際作曲家論壇」。香港作曲家聯會的前身是成立於1973年的亞洲作曲家同盟香港分會。在歷任主席林樂培（1973-1983）、曾葉發（1983-1993）、陳永華（1993-2004）及陳錦標（2004-）的領導下，聯會共在香港主辦了以下多項音樂盛會。這些活動對推動香港的音樂發展作出了顯著的貢獻。

1973 第一屆亞洲作曲家同盟會議及音樂節1981 第七屆亞洲作曲家同盟會議及音樂節1986 第一屆中國現代作曲家音樂節1988 國際現代音樂協會世界音樂日暨亞洲作曲家同盟會議及音樂節1989至今 音樂新一代：青年作曲家作品匯演1990及1991 香港音樂新環境音樂會系列1990至今 學校音樂創藝展1992至今 音樂新文化：國際現代音樂節1999至2001 學校音樂創意研習系列2001/02 國際現代音樂協會世界音樂日前奏：學校「現代音樂教育推廣計劃」2002 國際現代音樂協會世界音樂日2003 2003華人作曲家音樂節2005/06 荃灣大會堂藝術家駐場計劃：「互動作曲工作坊與示範音樂會系列」2006/07 荃灣大會堂節目夥伴計劃：「作曲與現代音樂多面體」2006至2008 2007年香港國際—亞太現代音樂節「音樂創意推廣計劃」2006至2008 香江華采：香港中樂團委約創作、潮汕惠深采風、作曲家配器工作坊2007 創作兼演出組合音樂大賽2007 2007年香港國際—亞太現代音樂節2008 聲樂發展研討會：20世紀下半葉聲樂發展概況2008 香港中央圖書館展覽：「從傳統到創新：香港現代音樂創作的生命力」2008 德國現代合奏團作曲工作坊2008/09 康文署學校藝術培訓計劃：「創意聲響與創意音樂」2009 青年作曲家工作坊2009/10 康文署學校藝術培訓計劃：「個性化的創意音樂」2009至2011 作曲與現代音樂實踐及表演系列

建基於其出色的工作及對推動音樂的積極貢獻，香港作曲家聯會多年來得到國內及國外作曲界朋友的充份認可。除了很多香港作曲家的作品在外地多個重要音樂節及無數音樂會中得到選演外，本會名譽會長林樂培更於2007年獲選為國際現代音樂協會名譽會員；本會創會主席曾葉發於2002年及2005年獲選為國際現代音樂協會的主席；本會現任主席陳錦標於2007年及2009年獲選為亞洲作曲家同盟的主席。本會前任主席陳永華也曾於不同時期擔任亞洲作曲家同盟的副主席及執行委員會成員。

香港作曲家聯會每兩年選舉一次，日常事務均由各理事會成員義務處理。為能確保具備最佳的財政問責，聯會作為一個非牟利團體於2001年註冊成為「香港作曲家聯會有限公司」。2010年7月起，香港作曲家聯會獲香港藝術發展局一年資助。
