Cumha, Op. 14 for Large String Orchestra
"The world is still beautiful, even without you in it." This opening line of Somhairle MacGill-Eain's "Cumha" - meaning "Elegie" - was the starting point for work on the piece for String Orchestra which I have eventually settled on having the eponymous title.
The work is intimately linked with the associated poem (and I encourage any listeners to read the brilliant work of this Gaelic writer), but rather than any attempt to trace the poem line-by-line or any associated narrative, the spirit of the narrative, and the feelings it evokes is the catalyst behind this purely instrumental work full of gestures of explosivity, longing, and great lyricism. In the end, the result was a work of extremely intimate expressivity, with the link to the poem - and particularly its opening line - only becoming clear to me nearer the end of the the project.
The setting for string orchestra presents challenges of contrast, balance, and allowing expression to come through amongst all the varied techniques and moving passages - there is the ever-present element of the oceanic turbulence in this piece, perhaps more so than usual even for myself, and that is a reflection on both the external impulse of the Scottish climate, weather, and nautical location, as well as a reflection of the emotive expressivity bound in with this work, which I would consider unusually subjective by my own standards.

Score available at: www.universaledition.com/en/Works/Bocain/P0202110 Bòcain was written for the violinist Rock Lee in the early part of 2019, ahead of its premiere performance later that year in Glasgow, Scotland. The piece was commissioned in order to showcase as many of the violin's technical abilities as possible, with the composer wishing to demonstrate these whilst also allowing for his o...
Ro-Innseann, op. 1 for Solo Flute (2017)
มุมมอง 1034 หลายเดือนก่อน
Ro-Innseann was a little three-part piece for solo Flute wrirten as part of my undergraduate degree studies. A simple A-B-A' form, the piece nonetheless fascinated me deeply, and its themes and harmonic structure grew from this little solo piece into the gargantuan work that is the Symphony, op. 8. An adaption of this little piece for solo Flute can be found there, as the first Interlude, with ...
Òrain à Alba, Op. 11 (2019-21; orch. 2023)

A series of songs-without-words. Originally conceived as a short song cycle, the pieces were then converted into their orchestral format between late 2023 and the first half of 2024. Possibly some cleaning up still needed in some of the orchestration, but overall a set that I think conveys a lot of what the poems variously intended. Orchestration flexible between the various songs, but no large...

Earlier this year I was inspired by more poetry by Scottish gaelic poet Somhairle MacGill-Eain to write some new small pieces in a song-like fashion. I chose instead of a setting with solo voice and lyrics to depict the moods generally of the poems in the form of an instrumental piece. As is becoming a running theme, the project rather spiralled and primarily during the late Spring and early Su...

Two arrangements of choral motets by Anton Bruckner. Each setting is for an associated symphony (in both, themes and keys related to the relevant symphony are present), and have been prepared for the brass section that features in each. I am hoping to complete a set for all or most of the Bruckner symphonies, in order to prelude each Symphony with its associated motet. In this case Bruckner's f...
Beethoven: Sechs Bagatellen, Op.126a (orch. Le Tissier)

Before tackling the final Piano Sonata I thought I'd take a little break from the 'serious' orchestrations and present this interpretation of Beethoven's charming set of Bagatelles, op. 126. Postdating (as far as I'm aware) the 9th Symphony, and certainly all the major piano works, these Bagatelles stand apart from the earlier sets, elevated beyond their status in spite of Beethoven's own 'klei...

Here is a Symphony. I wrote it all by myself. Its pretty long. I've broken down the 'big' structure.

I'm not quite sure what I meant with the title, and I'm not quite sure what I meant with the piece - but I feel like I meant something. First draft version of 'Visions of Nowhere', for both a smaller orchestra than I would normally use, and of a somewhat more petite length. There is a structure in there but things are rather lucid so I won't worry about pointing it out.

I’m pleased you uploaded the piano solo reduction . You get a better sense of the overall architecture that way .
Better? I don't agree.
@@muslit i disagree with your disagreement
I know the comments are glowing, but this not up his usual standards for symphonies. It seems a little dull and lifeless. I'm a Mahler fan, but that's my reaction.
RIP Dale Clevenger
The recording engineers did a great job in capturing the timpani dead center when listening in my headphones
Great timpanist in this recording. I assume Donald Koss?
I realised 5 seconds from the end that this piece is too triumphant for a late monday evening :/
Apparently, I've learned the same thing myself, just three weeks after you did on this late Monday evening that is Labor Day in the US, that the piece is too triumphant to settle one down and ease them off to bed, even if it has been a long day, a long day's journey into night; this work will rouse you, not drowse you. ; )
Every time is the right time for Mahler---and triumph!
Why Mahler?. Because.

Like the first light of dawn, this music opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and torpor of tormented watchmen 🤮

This is even more fascinating than the previous ones: your kind of writing is always about the conceptual fall of the notes, always, in reality, still presents. The same when you keep a tone / sound, which balances that sensation, with the dissonances / disagreements. This is very modern but with old / classic stories / topos / orchestations
I wanted to add: the first and fourth interludes are absolutes masterpieces
Thank you so much, your critique and attentive listening mean a lot!
Hi, it's particularly beautiful... You have to sorry me, but I not sure: you wrote it and what is the role of Francisca Stoecklin!? Thanks
The text is by Stoecklin, music by myself - thank you!
Einfach nur total toll. Durch das "Adagietto" im "Tod in Venedig" unsterblich geworden.
And at the RFK funeral by Bernstein!
Unique masterpiece. A few pieces are better than this.
actually, the opening trumpet motive comes from the first movement of Symphony 4
Guy it sounds really electronic. That's a thing I think you should correct, but it's incredible how can you spend 5 years writing a symphony of more than 2 hours. You overpassed Havergal Brian, dude! 👍🙀
Thank you! I await the day an orchestra lets me put this in front of them but in the meantime Sibelius's sound library will have to do its best! I genuinely didn't mean for it to be this long when I started out but things sort of... spiralled!

@@schrodingersgat4344 🔥
I don't know where I read that the symphony is a kind of representation of an ancient epic battle, and this description makes a lot of sense, especially the first two movements that as everyone knows are linked, or actually the first part. That spectacular moment you mention, for example, seems like the moment when the battle intensifies or breaks down, the trumpet at the beginning seems like the announcement of the fight that is about to begin, the funeral march, in short, everything. The famous adagietto would be something like a rest of peace or a kind of tribute to the fallen, and the typical ending of triumph would be the celebration of victory or that the battle is over or vindication or something like that. this interpretation may or may not be wrong, but I like to see this symphony in this way, and of course with the typical romantic epic style that so characterized Mahler's genius
@@chino9484 to be honest looks like a clown on a small bike running from my corridor...
いかにもショルティらしい楽譜に忠実ながら音色の混ざり具合といい、兼ね合いといい絶妙ではないか。
As similarities with Bruckner but a bit more crazy and creative. Both are great in their own way!
Agree, there is influence but also striking individuality!
Bruckner and Mahler should not be in the same sentence. Bruckner is garbage
Admiro a Bruckner, pero es repetitivo, Mahler, no!
Because Mahler's wife commented that the choral at the end was reminiscent of Bruckner. I can't think of any Bruckner choral that is like the one by Mahler (the only one perhaps being the choral at the end of his fifth symphony). Mahler must have had a chuckle.

The trumpet solo doesn't do it for me. I feel like it should have been a bit slower, and more introspective. But the rest seems fine.
"In gemossenem schritt" the very first instruction at the top of the page means "in measured time". It is meant to be played in a somewhat rigid tempo.
@@conorcorrigan765 I didn't mean rubato, I meant the timbre of the trumpet. Although, looking back at this recording it really isn't that bad
Can you send me the transcription? Tanks
Any chance of a performance of this? It strikes me as a really engaging orchestration.
I’ve got one in the pipeline for May of next year - thank you!

The Trumpet player is Adolf Herseth ?
YES
my favorite mahler 5. the middle symphonies and the 8th by solti are godd. especially the 5th and 6th are outstandingly sharp. no bohemian gemütlichkeit.
I think Solti is a very mediocre Mahler conductor, especially in the middle symphonies.
The opening trumpet motive is far closer to Mendelssohn's Song Without Words op.62 #3 (which is a Funeral March ), than to the opening motive of Beethoven's fifth.
Whilst true, I find it hard to believe that Mahler didn't know what he was doing opening a 5th Symphony in this way. The explicit Beethoven 5 callback doesn't come until later in the movement - and I believe both Mahler and Mendelssohn were quoting the same military fanfare when they used this figure.
It more obviously sounds like the opening of Mendessohn's Wedding March (from his incidental music to A Midsummer's night dream).

Hello. you can hear Solti breathe at 41:38 which is the most conclusive thing I could find to lead me to believe it is the recording below. There are a few other unique bits about this recording but that's my favorite. :) www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=4913
