Hello, and thank you for visiting my channel. I just graduated with my Master's degree in composition from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Tallinn, Estonia and am an advocate for the music of lesser-known composers. On this channel, I publish recordings of my own compositions, as well as score videos of (mostly) rarely performed works. You can find my website here: composingsultasto.com/
If you enjoy any of the content on my channel, please don't forget to subscribe and leave a like on the videos! My goal is to make my music and that of other composers more accessible to conductors, performers, and listeners alike.

Zunduin Khangal - Violin Concerto (Score Video)
00:05 I. Lento molto
07:34 II. Allegro molto
Sergey Kravchenko, violin
Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra conducted by Mark Ermler
Thanks to @YaponyBagsh for the original recordings (linked below); these are the only ones in existence I know of, and I've just cleaned up some of the static and audio clicks. The violinist - a student of Leonid Kogan - isn't quite together with the orchestra, plays a few wrong notes (at least according to this score) and takes some sections up an octave for unknown reasons, but it's hard to blame him as the violin part is fiendishly difficult.

Zunduin Khangal (Зундуйн Хангал; 1948-1996) was a Mongolian composer, the first modernist among composers of "Western" classical music in his country. At the same time, he wrote many lyrical melodies for popular songs and films as well as one of the few concerti for the morin khuur, a Mongolian traditional horsehead fiddle. Khangal received his musical education at the music school in Almaty, in what is now Kazakhstan, as well as at the Sverdlovsk Conservatory in Russia.
Written in 1974, Khangal's violin concerto - one of his less obscure works - is a fragmented and uncompromising work typical of post-Shostakovich composers in the Soviet sphere, but with some surprisingly lyrical moments (touches of Mongolian traditional music, perhaps.) As I mentioned previously, the violin part is incredibly difficult, somewhat like the similarly challenging string writing of Alfred Schnittke.

Very nice, entertaining work without any lengths
Was für eine schöne, einzigartige Sammlung von Stücken. Atemberaubend!

I wish you posted the whole score kept in landscape so the notes would at least come out legible in the full orchestra sections.
@@kablah19 the score was in portrait originally, I don't know what you mean by "kept in landscape". Unlike most of the score videos I post, this is also not my own scan, and there's no way I can magnify anything else beyond what I did already
A lot of the registration indications seem to have been ignored in the performance.
Love this, but it sounds Anatolian rather than Indian.
That's because a lot of Hindustani music came from the Mughals, who were a Turkic people who later migrated into India - you'll find a lot of similarities in the modes that are used in Indian ragas and Turkish maqams, and in many countries in between. As someone of Indian origin with extended family who perform mostly Carnatic music (though I'm not an expert on it at all), the (Indian) tabla and jalataranga are used in a fairly idiomatic manner, and the first two movements - which are named after Carnatic musical forms - are more or less developed similarly to how they are in the actual tradition. As I mentioned, Cowell did spend a few months in then Madras (which the piece is named after), now Chennai, studying Carnatic music - he's not just writing after some vaguely "Eastern" style. It shows.
@@towardthesea_ This is great to know Pranav. Thanks.
If you like this piece, you may also find interest in Colin McPhee's "Tabuh-tabuhan", based on Balinese gamelan music and similarly written by a composer who spent significant time studying that tradition: th-cam.com/video/PAm0Rvz9ESI/w-d-xo.html
If you enjoy this piece, perhaps you might also be interested in Henry Cowell's Symphony No. 13 "Madras", based on elements from north and south Indian traditional music, which I have just uploaded as well. The link is below! th-cam.com/video/H2aQUHM_kXw/w-d-xo.html

Thx for sharing this rare orchestral score. I was looking for the "Ishavet" one, which is a real orchestral gem, do you have it at hand or any idea where I can find it ?
Unfortunately I don't know where it can be purchased, but you can check WorldCat for libraries where it's available - if you're affiliated with an academic institution, you could try to get the score through interlibrary loan. There appear to be three libraries that have it: LIBRIS in Stockholm, the Juilliard library in New York, and the Royal College of Music library in London. (See the WorldCat links below) Alternatively, if you're anywhere near those libraries, you could of course go ask in person. search.worldcat.org/title/938836825 search.worldcat.org/title/1113954945

3:45 - This effect had me almost capsizing on the chair for the surprise, I thought it was something sampled out, but instead it's all done with usual, "acoustic" instruments.
I sat amazed (I think both times I noticed were in the last movement) when I realized that a note that was started in one instrument was seamlessly picked up and continued by another. It was almost like transmutation, with the sound of violin becoming that of flute (for example) without any noticeable shift.
Here because of a fantasy story ("The Pagodas of Ciboure" by M. Shayne Bell) in which 10-year-old Ravel is cured of his leukemia by creatures from French legend called pagodas, which are composed of shards of porcelain. In the story they sing him well, and as an adult he bases some of his compositions (including this one) on their tinkling music.
The key is A minor.
5:08 Is it just me or does it sound like it's in swing?

Thank you! The Sibelius Academy library has so many rare scores by Nordic composers, unfortunately I'm neither a student nor living in Helsinki anymore so things get a bit more complicated...fortunately I had an hour or two to scan the 150+ pages of this one :)
