Praise for Anthony de Mare: "Mr. de Mare's protean talents fit his protean program...the Ives's was played as eloquently as I have ever heard it with warm, if troubled nostalgia." - The New York Times "Mr. De Mare is an amazing artist, and must be doing for contemporary piano literature what the Kronos Quartet has done for the contemporary string quartet. He is sure-fingered and dextrous, and puts his whole soul into his work. The results are remarkable." - UW Gazette , Toronto Praise for Steven Mayer: "...piano playing at its most awesome..." - Bernard Holland, The New York Times "The piano was 'smoking' with overt displays of pyrotechnics. Mayer's playing brought sheer delight to his mesmerized crowdleaving attending pianists weeping by the wayside." - Jeff Manookian, The Salt Lake Tribune Praise for Anthony de Mare's Wizards and Wild Men CD: "This is the most illuminating and powerful CRI release I have heard in a very long time...and important as well as exciting release." - American Record Guide "...an audacious disk...de Mare, playing at the keyboard, strumming the strings, and even signing along, plumbs the lustrous beauty lurking in the challenging scores." -

Founded in the 1970's, Klavier was originally set up to record keyboard music of a special type. In the early part of the century, famous pianists had "recorded" their performances on the reproducing piano, a high-tech version of the player piano. A reproducing piano was set up in a concert hall, and recorded in modern stereo. Conventional classical recordings followed. A number of these recordings were done by Keith O. Johnson, who would later make Reference Recordings famous. Today's Klavier is making modern classical recordings, however, sometimes with some of the world's finest artists. Remember...all of the recordings on this list are recommended by UHF. Records shown in red are used by UHF Magazine in its tests of audio equipment. Norman Dello Joio This contemporary composer has long written delightful music for wind band, exploring the sensual, tactile timbres of wind instruments and percussion.

Jose Pablo Moncayo was born June 29, 1912 in Guadalajara, Jalisco. He began his musical studies at the age of seventeen at The National Music Conservatory in Mexico. There he studied composition with Carlos Chavez and harmony with Candelario Huizar. In order to afford his studies and help his family with financial matters he would play the piano in cafes and radio stations. In 1931 he was provided with the opportunity to perform on piano and percussion in the Mexico Symphony Orchestra. In 1935 he formed the Grupo de los Cuatros (Group of Four), which was modeled off of the Group of Five in Russia. Like the Russian group, the Grupo de los Cuatros composed popular ethnic and folk music and aimed to have their pieces performed in public concerts. The first concert occurred on November 25, 1935 at the Orientation Theatre of Public Secondary Education. In 1942 Moncayo received a scholarship to attend the Berkshire Institute and to study with Aaron Copland. During this time he wrote one of his most well known works, Llano Grande. Two years later he won a composition contest with his Sinfonia No. 1, and in 1949 he obtained the Chopin Prize with his Tierra de Temporal Symphony. In addition to being a well recognized composer, Moncayo was also a fine conductor, spending the last fifteen years of his life directing the orchestras of The National Conservatory of Mexico and the Mexico Symphony Orchestra. He died on June 16, 1958 while being robbed in Mexico City. The music of Jose Pablo Moncayo is filled with color and expressiveness, which can be viewed as paying homage to the Mexican people, their land, and their heritage. The basis of many of his pieces are filled with the flavor of the dances and songs of the land. Huapango is such a piece. It was commissioned by the Mexico Symphony Orchestra and was premiered in 1941 under the direction of Carlos Chavez. It has come to be known as one of Mexico’s leading orchestral compositions.

Following studies in Germany, he began a concert career in England and toured South Africa and Australia. In 1906 he met Grieg, who became enthusiastic about Grainger's talent. He settled in the USA, giving a sensational debut in New York in 1915 and gave summer sessions in Chicago from 1919 to 1931. At his marriage to Ella Viola Strom in 1928, a spectacular affair staged at the Hollywood Bowl, he conducted his work To a Nordic Princess . His wide-ranging musical output was influenced by his studies of folk music, and featured experimental combinations of traditional tonality with "gliding" intervals, the use of polyrhythm and unusual, even electronic, instruments. As early as 1937, he wrote a quartet for electronic instruments, notating the pitch by zigzags and curves. and rejected common Italian designations of tempi and dynamics.

In 1906 he met Grieg, who became enthusiastic about Grainger's talent. He studied the Grieg Piano Concerto with the composer in 1907 and published the definitive annotated edition containing Grieg's explicit directions. For his piano recitals he transcribed his favorite melodies from a wide variety of composers including Dowland, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Delius, Fauré and Strauss. He worked unceasingly to promote the music by his contemporaries, especially Cyril Scott, Delius and Grieg.

Grainger, was a well-known architect whose designs included the Princes Bridge in Melbourne. Quite precocious at an early age, Percy made his first concert tour when he was twelve. Soon afterwards, he went to Germany with his mother Rose to further his training as a pianist and composer. Between 1901 and 1914, Percy and his mother lived in London where his talents flourished. In these years he befriended the Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg, whose love of national music inspired Percy to look closely at English folk music. With the aid of a phonograph, Percy collected songs from folk-singers and from these made many famous arrangements from these. His friendships with many Scandinavian and English musical figures (Herman Sandby, Delius, Cyril Scott, Balfour Gardiner) developed during this period. In 1914, Grainger moved to America, where he lived for the rest of his life. He became an American citizen (although he always described himself as Australian) and during a brief spell in the U.S. Army Bands, he "dished-up" (as he put it) the Country Gardens piece which many people now equate with his name.

Percy Grainger........ a little background information percy grainger G rainger was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1882 and died in White Plains, New York in 1961. Although he had a huge reputation in his lifetime as a virtuoso pianist and composer of easy listening pieces such as Country Gardens and Molly on the Shore, amongst contemporary music fans, he is often hailed as innovator and wayward genius. He predicted and experimented with many 20th century music concepts before they became known and credited through the work of other composers. For example, Grainger's The Warriors written in 1913 seems to predict Charles Ives with its use of offstage brass band, rhythmic complexities, masses of tuned percussion, use of two conductors and outbursts of spiky dissonance in basically a tonal piece. Random Round , from 1912, anticipates the indeterminate aleatory music of John Cage and Stockhausen (in the piece, musicians are free to start playing when ever they like...not much of a new idea for improvising musicians but for the composed music of the time, quite radical!) T hroughout Grainger's whole career, he was busy trying to realise the concept of Free Music; a music free from the tonal or atonal structures of western music. Towards the end of his life, he built (with Burnet Cross) a number of Free Music machines out of industrial waste and junk capable of 'non-harmony' and 'gliding tones'. His first experiments with Beatless Music were started as early as 1899 with his piece

Soon afterwards he went to Germany with his mother to further his training as a pianist and composer. Between 1901 and 1914 Percy and his mother lived in London where his talents flourished.

After the war Grainger continued his hectic life of concert tours and lectures, including tours to Australia (during which, in the 1930's he set up the museum). In 1928 he married the Swedish artist Ella Strom. A somewhat original musical thinker for his time he did much to publicise mediaeval European music, and music of other cultures. Towards the end of his life he worked on means for producing "free music" - music not limited by time and pitch intervals. The machines he created in association with the scientist Burnett Cross may be regarded as the crude forerunners of the modern electronic synthesizers. On February 20th, 1961 he died in New York, and is now buried in the family grave in Adelaide, South Australia.

Komponisten von A bis Z Percy Aldridge Grainger Percy Aldridge Grainger wurde am 8. Juli 1882 in Brighton, Victoria (Australien) als Sohn des bekannten Architekten John H. Grainger geboren. Schon sehr früh wurde sein musikalisches Talent deutlich. Mit zwölf Jahren unternahm er seine erste Konzerttournee als Pianist; 1895 ging er nach Europa und studierte vier Jahre am Dr. Hoch'schen Konservatorium in Frankfurt am Main, um seine Ausbildung als Pianist und Komponist zu vervollständigen. Zwischen 1901 und 1914 lebte er mit seiner Mutter in London, wo sein Ruf als Klaviervirtuose und Komponist sich stetig festigte. Seine Zusammenarbeit mit dem Schott-Verlag begann 1911, zu einer Zeit, als die steigende Anerkennung seines kompositorischen Schaffens sich unter anderem in Aufführungen seiner Werke in der Londoner Queen's Hall und der Aeolien Hall dokumentierte. In diesen Jahren entwickelte sich eine Freundschaft zu dem norwegischen Komponisten Edvard Grieg, dessen Liebe zur Musik seiner Heimat Grainger zu einer intensiven Beschäftigung mit englischer Volksmusik inspirierte. Er sammelte mit Hilfe eines Phonographen zahlreiche Beispiele englischer Folk Music, die er dann später in eigenen Kompositionen verarbeitete. Auch seine enge Freundschaft mit Komponisten wie Frederic Delius, Cyril Scott oder mit Persönlichkeiten des englischen Musiklebens wie Herman Sandby und Balfour Gardiner begann zu dieser Zeit.

Truly a twentieth-century radical, he flaunted an originality that even today deserves greater recognition. Pupil of Busoni, friend of Grieg and Delius, he toured the world as a concert pianist before settling in the United States. His first love was folksong, yet his experiments in sonority, his attempts to devise a 'free music' liberated from conventional restraints of rhythm and melody, and his interests in oriental and medieval music show a mind ranging further afield than the pleasures of 'Country Gardens' and 'Molly on the Shore' - "my fripperies" as he called them.

At the age of thirteen I heard a performance of On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring I loved the performance so much I felt I must restrict myself to a single hearing each year. My reason for this strange decision goes back to a performance of the Brahms clarinet quintet I heard at the Oxford Music Society, which intoxicated me with its emotional power. I bought an LP of the work and listened to it too often. It lost its magic. Hearing it too often reduced its impact. This is the sadness of recorded music. We can listen to part of a Mahler Symphony before breakfast and stop the recording when the milkman comes. What a dreadful way to treat the masterpieces of the greatest musical minds in history! When I heard the Ring Cycle for the first time, despite the fact that I had all the orchestral scores, I refused to study it at all until I had heard it fresh just the once. I could listen to it intellectually the second time and the third and fourth. But that first flush of excitement and wonder can come only once. Rarely comest thou, o spirit of delight!

Home Up CHAPTER 6 THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PERCY GRAINGER While the innovations of Colonel Somerville in the music at Kneller Hall had a far-reaching effect on all but the British Army, there had in fact been early stirrings in England. It is tempting to dwell on what might also have happened had Beecham continued his interest in the Beecham Wind Orchestra; In The Musical Times of November 1, 1912 we read: The most interesting feature of the present season hitherto has been the formation and appearance of the Beecham Wind Orchestra or "London Civil Band" under the conductorship of Mr Emile Gilmer. It is the outcome of a desire on Mr Beecham's part to arrest the alleged decline of English wind playing, and to explore new sources of tone colour The constitution of the band or orchestra is as follows: 2 Piccolos 2 flutes 2 oboes 1 bass oboe 1 heckelphone 1 English horn 2 clarinets in Eb 8 clarinets in Bb 2 basset horns 2 bass clarinets 2 bassoons 1 sarrusophone in Bb 1 sarrusophone in C 1 soprano saxophone 1 alto saxophone 1 tenor saxophone 1 baritone saxophone 2 trumpets 1 cornet à pistons in Eb 2 cornet à pistons in Bb 1 bass trumpet 4 French horns 1 alto trombone 1 tenor trombone 1 bass trombone 1 tuba in F 1 tuba in Eb 1 contra-bass tuba in Bb 1 celesta 1 kettle-drum 1 side-drum 1 bass drum and cymbals 1 harp The scheme has not only been formulated but has been carried to completion and, we understand, tested in public. Familiar music has been arranged for the "wind orchestra" and composers of repute have been asked to write new music for it. Once more we are in debt to the enterprise of Mr Thomas Beecham, who has the brain to conceive original plans, and the energy and other essential means to fulfil them.
