Extractions: 20 November 2002 Kevin Volans is the South African composer whose music gained a much wider audience when the Kronos Quartet asked him to re-write his early 80's opus White Man Sleeps for string quartet. Volans had his doubts: this after all was his attempt to cross-fertilise the musical traditions of western Europe with African tradition, without falling into the trap of producing a classical piece plus 'local colour' . . .the essence of airport art, as Volans himself puts it. Western instruments, yes, but the modern grand piano and symphony orchestra were too standardised, inflexible and bland for Volans, who found what he wanted in early instruments: harpsichord for its percussive quality and the ease with which you could get it to adopt the unfamiliar tunings of African music; plus viola da gamba for its 'whooping, nasal' sound. So how was a standard string quartet going to compete with that?

Extractions: During the rehearsals for the string quartet version of "White Man Sleeps," a strong artistic bond developed between the work's performers, the renowned Kronos Quartet, and its composer, Kevin Volans. This led Kronos to commission a second-string quartet from Volans, especially written for the musicians. Like "White Man Sleeps," it is a stunning piece of music, recommended to every world music lover who wants to cross the bridge to contemporary, modern music. The work comes in three movements, each one with a different character. Most remarkably are the Ethiopian influences in the beginning bars of the first movement (compare this motive with the vocal style of the distinguished Ethiopian singer Aster Aweke) and the joyous Southern African dance-like motive featuring after the more contemplative opening of the second movement. The slightly melancholic song-like structure of the short third movement draws the work to a close.

Extractions: To my shame, the music of the Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer (b. 1933) was scarcely known to me, and this was both a brave and a wise programming choice for Blackheath's Sunday Morning series, which is justifiably attracting increasing attention. The audience was, predictably, not large, but less attenuated than had been the dire effect of presenting a notable trio with wind instruments (notoriously death to the box office!) the previous week. Relevant to those problems, Shafer himself can be heard on line in his interview excerpt Music behind walls , discussing his dissatisfaction with the limitations of concert halls and how in his forties he began to radically transform audience experience and expectations with musical theatre pieces in a variety of mostly outdoor settings often at dawn or overnight. Schafer talks about conventional critical divisions within the world of music and proposes a very different way of looking at cultural change.
