»Past, present and future are, as you know,
bound to the procedure of
successiveness merely by their appearance as
cosmic time. In our cognitive
reality, however, this succession does not
exist, possessing a truer reality
than the well-acquainted clock, which basically
indicates nothing else
then the fact that there is no presence in a
strict sense. Time bends itself
into a spherical shape. From within this notion,
[…] I developed my […]
pluralistic compositional technique, which takes
the multiple layers of our
reality into account.«
(Bernd Alois Zimmermann, 1918-1970)
Music and Time is the theme of IEMA’s next
International Composition Seminar,
which – directed by the Ensemble Modern and the
composer and conductor Johannes Kalitzke
– will then be taking place for the sixth time
in 2013.
In Europe, the seminar is still unique in its
bipartite structure:
In a first »try-out« phase, the compositional
ideas, developed for the seminar, sound concepts
and technical approaches will receive two days
of rehearsal and discussion together with
Ensemble Modern and one day together with both
Ensemble Modern and
hr-Sinfonieorchester. Intensive work sessions
will offer the explicit opportunity, to rehearse
only parts of the newly developed or still
nascent compositional ideas or sound visions.
In the second phase, ideas and insights gained
during the first phase are incorporated in the
new pieces; the works are completed. After a
rehearsal phase that also leaves room for
exchange and discussions, the new works see
their premiere.
The International Composition Seminar 2013 and
its two final concerts are integrated into the
second edition of the festival cresc… Biennale
für Moderne Musik which takes place between
21st and 24th November 2013 in Frankfurt and
Darmstadt.
Through the cooperation with the Frankfurt Radio
Symphony Orchestra, hr-Sinfonieorchester,
the International Composition Seminar will again
be giving the opportunity to work together
with a large orchestra.
The seminar will be offering 4 assignments of
works for ensemble and 2 assignments of works
for orchestra and ensemble.
The guiding theme is connected to the festival
theme of cresc… 2013. Under the topic »Music
and Time«, the work and mindscape of composer
Bernd Alois Zimmermann are brought into
focus and contrasted with current approaches to
the topic.
The festival is a joint undertaking of the
partners Ensemble Modern, Hessischer Rundfunk, Alte
Oper, Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt,
Institute of Contemporary Music at the
Frankfurt University of Music and Performing
Arts and Staatstheater Darmstadt.
Composers interested in this project are invited
to participate.
