SOUNDS NEW Contemporary Music Festival, UK together with Coups de Vents, France are offer-ing selected composers a unique opportunity to write for the ICP Ensemble and have their works performed in both England and France.

In 2010, composers from France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are invited to submit works for selection to participate. The winners will create new works for the ICP Ensemble and will be guided throughout the process by leading and influential composition professors and tutors. The final works will be performed in public concerts and winners will be chosen by an international jury.

In 2011, this competition extends its boundary to Europe, where composers can apply to take part in a rigorous advanced composi-tion course. In 2012, the year of the Olympics, an International Composers Competition will be held in Canterbury.

This project is being funded by INTERREG IVA 2 Mers Seas Zeeën – European Union.

For more details and how to apply please visit our website: www.internationalcomposerpyramid.org

For more information about Com-posers Pyramid, please contact the Sounds New offices telephone 0044 1227 780800 or email [email protected]

CALL FOR SCORES

INTERNATIONAL COMPOSER PYRAMID (ICP)


Composers love to tell us about their beliefs, their passions. They tell us their profoundest thoughts using symbolism and numerology is a means of encrypting such ex-pression. We cannot forget Bach’s structures based on the shape of the cross in his Passions or Berg’s expressions of love for a younger woman in his violin concerto.

Seven is a number that has many connotations, be they astrological, astronomical, religious or as seem-ingly mundane as the number of days in a week. This year’s festival takes you on a journey of symbolism, allowing you the chance to discover more about the mysteries the number seven holds. The programme contains music that stretches from 20th century masterworks such as Schoen-

SOUNDS NEW CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL 2010 SYMBOLISM AND NUMEROLOGY IN MUSIC: THE NUMBER SEVENMay 7th – May 16th

berg’s Pierrot Lunaire and Xenakis’ Pleiades to new works specially composed for this festival such as Jack Hues’ response to Haydn’s Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross and the UK Conservatoire young composers’ new composi-tions based on this number.

In case all this sounds very serious, let me remind you that Sounds New likes fun! So we look at seven in amusing ways. Did you know that the harp has seven ped-als? Of course, there is the famous big-bang theory about creation. So, we have invited the great Ronnie Scott’s Big Band to recre-ate the Atomic Mr. Basie! And if you have a penchant for ‘naughtiness’, why not enjoy Kurt Weill’s highly-charged interpretation of The Seven Deadly Sins?

INTRODUCTION


With films, workshops, a massive variety of education projects, a major international conference, a residential course for contempo-rary music aficionados, installa-tions, lunchtime concerts, outdoor events, evening performancesand late-night gigs, Sounds New has something for all tastes, be they seemingly conservative or just plain wild!

On behalf of the Sounds New team, I would like to thank all our very generous sponsors and funders, without whom such a pro-gramme of activities would not be possible! I also thank BBC Radio 3 for their interest in our programme and for recording several of our concerts for national broadcast.

Professor Paul Max Edlin, Artistic Director

Sounds New brings you the world’s leading performers. Ensemble Intercontemporain, Ensemble Modern and Cantus Ansambl are the greatest expo-nents of contemporary music of their respective countries. The Aurora Orchestra, the CBSO Chamber Players and the Ronnie Scott’s Big Band contain the UK’s finest talent. We invite some of the world’s best young artists, notably the outstanding Polish prize-win-ning pianist Barbara Drazkowska and Concertgebouw Prize-winning harpist Lavinia Meijer. We also celebrate the influence of Gustav Mahler in this special anniversary year.

A major new development for 2010 is the International Composer Pyramid – a collabora-tion between Sounds New [UK] and Coups de Vents [France], which, over the coming years, will promote the best composers of the new generations. We thank INTERREG IVA 2 Mers Seas Zeeën – European Union for funding this project.

Film: Il Segreto di Pulcinella10am – Canterbury Christ Church University

At the end of the 18th century, the Venetian painter Giandomenico Tiepolo created an album of 101 drawings of scenes populated by Punchinellos. Tiepolo may have inspired Stravinsky and Picasso’s celebrated collaboration for their creation of Pulcinella for Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes in 1920. Specifically created for television in a ‘blue studio’, and combining sets with computer animation using a technique reflecting tradi-tional painting methods, this highly original and suggestive version of the ballet draws on that same idea, while putting a twist on themes and styles from classical painting and artistic avant-gardes.

2010 PROGRAMME


CoMa AT SOUNDS NEW

Conference at Canterbury Christ Church University

Music and Numbers

An international conference hosted by the Department of Music Can-terbury Christ Church University (14-15 May 2010)

A conference on ‘Music and Num-bers’, in association with Sounds New and the Institute of Musical Research (IMR), and supported by the Society for Music Analysis, will be hosted by the Department of Music of Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU), on Friday and Saturday, 14–15 May 2010. The conference coincides with and augments the long-established Sounds New Music Festival, which is closely affiliated with CCCU.

Building on the festival theme, the conference provides an overview of the latest scholarly work on music, proportion and numbers in composition, and brings together scholars, composers and per-formers. The conference themes include the use of numbers in compositional theory and practice; proportion and cryptographic techniques; the Fibonacci series; other numerical calculations and

constructs, particularly those used in compositions of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, such as the use of numbers in algorithmic composition; the intersections of music and mysticism. The confer-ence key-note speakers are Pro-fessor Douglas Jarman (Emeritus Professor, Royal Northern College of Music), Dr Ruth Tatlow (Associ-ate Professor, Stockholm Univer-sity), and Roy Howat (Keyboard Research Fellow, Royal Academy of Music).

For further details about the conference, conference fees and registration, visit the website: www.cccumusicandnumbers.org.ukor the conference organiser Dr Eva Mantzourani [email protected]

CONFERENCE


CoMA at SOUNDS NEW

From The Seven DaysCoMA at Sounds New Festival, CanterburyFriday 14 – Sunday 16 May 2010

Learn and perform Stockhausen’s iconic music theatre work withLoré Lixenberg at the Sounds New Contemporary Music Festival.

Open to instrumentalists, singers and actors of all abilities

About the work The residency will focus exclusively on the rehearsal and performance of Aus Den Sieben Tagen by Karlheinz Stockhausen. Composed in May 1968, the work is a very personal response to a crisis Stock-hausen suffered during thetime of composition. Its fifteen constitu-ent text-pieces explore questions of composition, improvisation, art, its transmission and its origin, the status of the artist and his way of life and thought. The residency will take partici-pants on a musical and artistic journey exploring the meaning of this remarka-blework and developing improvisation and performance skills, culminating in a concert performance.

Loré LixenbergStar of Jerry Springer – the Opera, Loré Lixenberg boasts a singing careerspanning both worlds of musical theatre and the high avant-garde opera ofBirtwistle and Maxwell-Davies. She is described as a ‘performer of spectacular

intensity and expressiveness’. Loré has sung in opera houses throughoutEurope and as a soloist with a number of major orchestras and ensemblesincluding BBC Symphony Orchestra and Danish National Symphony Orchestra, as well as several television appearances. Loré directed workshops on Mauricio Kagel and Kurt Schwitters at the CoMA Summer School in 2008. Later in 2010 she will be directing a series of three weekend workshops exploring aspects of contemporary music theatre.

2010 PROGRAMME

SOUNDS NEW EDUCATION OUTREACH PROJECTS

FILMS7 schools, composer Stephen Clee and project leader Peter Cook will work with music composition and film to create new works and performances. Silent film and rumbustious music will be performed together. No talkies please! The results will be screened and performed at Orange Street Music Club on Friday 7th May at 1pm [for schools] and Saturday 8th May at 9pm for the general public.

DANCE TO OUR TIMEUsing compositions in the festival’s programme to inspire new dance work, local groups will perform their new crea-tions live to the music.

PHOTO STILL Using the notion of stillness to contrast with the movement of music, photogra-phers from schools, colleges as well as members of the general public, explore the concert programme. Using projec-tions during concerts, and exhibition space, their ‘still points’ will leave a pictorial legacy of the festival.
