INTERNATIONAL COMPOSER PYRAMID (ICP) CALL FOR SCORES SOUNDS NEW Contemporary Music Festival, UK together with Coups de Vents, France are offering selected composers a unique opportunity to write for the ICP Ensemble and have their works performed in both England and France.

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

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.

This project is being funded by INTERREG IVA 2 Mers Seas ZeeĂŤn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; European Union.

INTRODUCTION

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

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 expression. 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 seemingly 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 Schoen4

www.soundsnew.org.uk

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 compositions 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 pedals? Of course, there is the famous big-bang theory about creation. So, we have invited the great Ronnie Scott’s Big Band to recreate the Atomic Mr. Basie! And if you have a penchant for ‘naughtiness’, why not enjoy Kurt Weill’s highlycharged interpretation of The Seven Deadly Sins?

INTRODUCTION Sounds New brings you the world’s leading performers. Ensemble Intercontemporain, Ensemble Modern and Cantus Ansambl are the greatest exponents 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-winning 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 collaboration 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.

With films, workshops, a massive variety of education projects, a major international conference, a residential course for contemporary music aficionados, installations, lunchtime concerts, outdoor events, evening performances and 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 programme 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

Film: Il Segreto di Pulcinella 10am – 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 traditional 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.

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 Stockhausen suffered during the time of composition. Its fifteen constituent 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 participants on a musical and artistic journey exploring the meaning of this remarkablework and developing improvisation and performance skills, culminating in a concert performance.

Star of Jerry Springer – the Opera, Loré Lixenberg boasts a singing career spanning both worlds of musical theatre and the high avant-garde opera of Birtwistle and Maxwell-Davies. She is described as a ‘performer of spectacular 32
