The Spectrum 'New Music' Experimental sensitivity by Steven N. Swartz “Evenings for New Music” at the Albright-Knox could make a New York concert-goer jealous of Buffalo. The setting is intimate and comfortable, the acoustics excellent, the audience astute and appreciative; and most importantly, the programming and performances are of uniformly high quality. Last Sunday’s concert in this series was no exception. It was thought-provoking, entertaining, and quite well-attended (which, unfortunately, cannot be said of all of the “Evenings” concerts). Like most of the concerts in this series, both 20th-century classics and a new piece were presented. In the first half of the concert, Schoenberg’s Phantasy for Violin and Piano, and two pieces by Pierre Boulez were featured. The second half of the concert was devoted to the Buffalo premiere of Julius Eastman’s “If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich?”, a piece which shocked, amused and aggravated the audience for its 30-minute duration. But first, a few words about the Schoenberg and the Boulez. Asymmetrical elegance The Phantasy for Violin and Piano by Arnold Schoenberg, the father of serial (12-tone) composition, displayed the asymmetrical elegance and bittersweet mood for which this Viennese composer is most famous. This short, somewhat wistful piece poured smoothly and effortlessly from under the fingertips of Charles Haupt (violin) and Stephen Manes (piano). The violin part is strongly coloristic, calling for pizzicati, double-stops and various harmonics; the piano part somewhat less virtuosic, but requiring notable sensitivity. From broken, halting sections to the waltzish interlude, a clear and thoughtful outline of the piece emerged. From a piece by an old master at the height of his powers, the focus shifted to a younger master at the beginning of his career. Boulez’s Sonatine for Flute and Piano, played by Robert Dick on flute and Manes again on piano, displays the struggles of a gifted composer trying to “find his voice.” The piece is somewhat similar to the Schoenberg piece in structure, and gets off to a slow, majestic and very beautiful beginning, but after awhile, its energy begins to dissipate. One feels two contradictory tendencies at work: a tendency towards singular, loping contrapuntal lines, and on the other hand, a desire to make the piano writing “pianistic” — I.E., chordal or arpeggiated. It is through this conflict, which is never truly resolved, that the piece misses its focus. The performance was, technically speaking, very accomplished; however, I also felt that the piece’s sang-froid called for a more detached attitude than the one presented by Dick, whose playing seemed at times a little hammy. Poise and control Much more mature and well-conceived was the second of the two Boulez pieces (actually two pieces in itself) Improvisations sur Mallarme 1 and 2. Boulez has set two poems by the visionary French Symbolist Stephane Mallarme for soprano and percussion ensemble (including harp, celesta and piano). The title is illuminating: these songs use their texts as points of departure for essays in color and sound. The orchestration is brilliantly realized, and speaks of a sensitivity to sound which is matched by few other composers. Deserving of special mention is Phyllis Bryn-Julson, whose poise and control were truly remarkable, and provided her with the resources for a detachment appropriate to the material. The ensemble was conducted by Jan Williams with characteristic and sensitivity confidence, Finally, we have the piece by Julius Eastman. The audience, lulled into French complacency by the Boulez, was heard to nudge each other and giggle when Eastman, who conducted his piece, walked out on the stage in a grey sweatshirt, rumpled levis and winter boots. Assorted brasses plus two sets of tubular bells, two electrified contrabasses, and piano remained silent while Eastman conducted a single trumpet playing a slow chromatic scale ascending in Rubank first-grade rhythm. The trumpet ended up on its absolute highest pitch, paused, played it again (at earsplitting volume), paused, played it again. Little by little, as the rest of the ensemble entered, the audience realized that this bargain-basement theme (the ascending chromatic scale), was the major content of the piece, and that the piece had two dynamic levels: extremely loud, and even louder than that. By this time people began to notice that there was an empty seat on the stage which held an electric violin hooked up to a Fender amp. After about eight minutes, the soloist, Benjamin Hudson, climbed onto the stage and picked up the violin. At precisely the perfect moment, he began to play an earsplitting parody of a romantic violin solo, interspersed with the chromatic “theme.” Now people were holding their ears, members of the audience began to leave (about a dozen in all), composers in the audience were dissolving into delighted laughter, and dogs several miles away were perking up their ears. The vicious humor, the careful construction, and the raw absurdity of the piece made for an experience the audience was not likely to forget. Welcome to Punk-Classical. The next “Evening for New Music” will happen on March 18. If you have read this far, all I can say is, don’t miss it. The “Evenings” concerts are always thought-provoking and often full of surprises. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

And then the spitting rage of Julius Eastman in his brass-knuckled chromatic assault on an indifferent or contemptuous society. Jan Williams was at the The 1978 piece is titled “If You re So Smart Why Aren’t You Rich?” It’s a question the immensely gifted, often-broke singer, pianist, actor and dubi ous composer has had to con tend with the whole of his mi grant outsider’s life. He came in from The Bronx. The Evenings for New Music series concert was distinguished by artists who could have taken these performances straight to Lincoln Center and rivaled just about anything in the chamber music life there. Here in Albright-Knox Art Gallery auditorium, on frozen Sunday evening, there was quite a decent audience for them, considering the bone-warming alternative of staying home. * * * The Visiting artist was soprano Phyllis Bryn-Julson, with a velvety voice and unerr ing pitch in the “Improvisations sur Mallarme” Nos. 1 and 2 by Pierre Boulez, with harp, piano, celeste, vibes and percussion. Bryn-Julson must have floored the composer when she did these with him in Paris. Her chest register is quiet and bur nished, like the clarinet’s chalu meau, and she picks a precise tone anywhere in the heights for pinging attack or sostenuto. But it was the musical nuance and the easy-seeming finesse that really did it, not to mention a fine French delivery. Doubt less there was invaluable coach ing by Boulez in the European performances. * * podium here, one of the most versatile and accomplished con ductors of modern music in the country. That is apt to be over looked, since he has been a Buffalo resident for several years, and the town is somehow against celebrating its own. A lovely job, anyway, estab lishing the steel-wire strengths of the slender-lined work as well as its wispy evanescences. Philharmonic concertmaster Charles Haupt and pianist Ste phen Manes played the 1949 Phantasy Op. 47 of Arnold Schoenberg, written in Califor nia when he was 75. It’s amazing how this piece, once so forbidding to listeners and performers, sounds so hei misch and Viennese and altmo disch now. It was played that way, deep bowed tremolos and trills and spiccato and whatnot, by violin ist Haupt with a pulsing drive reflected admirably in the pre cisely ordered tone-cluster accompaniment. * * * Flutist Robert Dick, a rare virtuoso surely on his way to an international career, and pianist Manes beguiled us with the 1946 Sonatina of Boulez. It’s a rather consciously gymnastic piece with borrowed Impressio nistic manners. Beautifully played. Julius Eastman conducted a brass nonet, wired string basses, a pair of chimes belters and Benjamin Hudson as soloist on an amplified fiddle. The performers, including high coronettists, lashed out in painful chromatic ascents, high er and higher, wounding their lips and our ears. Then down again while new voices ascend ed, and the large brass choir eventually built up the roaring menace of a street riot. In the past composer East man has been wildly funny with his campy slurps and his outra geous satire. (“Eine Kleine Knock Music,” for instance.) But this had the feeling, for me, of deadly reprisal, by a compos er who had suffered a deep, deep wound. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This program put side by side some classic 20th century compositions by Schoenberg and Boulez, and some very contemporary chromatic scale brass scorings by Julius East man, a former Creative As sociate returning to conduct his music. The Beauty violin was that in the “Phantasy" of Schoen berg played by Charles Haupt, the Buffalo Philharmonic con certmaster and himself a Crea tive Associate before taking his orchestra post. Stephen Manes was the pianist in this last work of the great Viennese atonalist. Argument for the Mind The “Phantasy” is music which argues the supremacy of mind over matter. The Schoenberg music has powers that stir and quicken; it is broad and clear in its ges tures, or it is terribly skittish; there is an aggressive attack, and a nearly childish sweet ness — this despite its rigorous intellectual design. Haupt — for it is chiefly a violinist’s piece — played the "Phantasy” with appropriate graduations of attack and with an appreciation of its several faces. It was heroism of a ro mantic stamp that he provid ed, but reduced somewhat to a delicate vigor. Manes and Haupt were well-joined rhyth mically, and the pianist was characteristically incisive. Taking Stand for Beauty Haupt was only the first of the performers taking the stand in the case for Beauty — here understood in large part as the beauty of mind and log ic. Later, flutist Robert Dick, also with pianist Manes, played Boulez’s Sonatina, giv ing it a purred effect in the flutter-tongue passages, and phrasing the arching lines with a good sense of continuity and lyricism. Dick and Manes were out standing in their playing together, their tricky coinci dences, especially in a passage near the end when accelerations bring the piece to a boil, when feeling is intensified. Precision in Soprano In the larger Boulez music of the night, guest soprano Phyl lis Bryn-Julson sang the two sets of “Improvisations sur Mallarme,” with a chamber ensemble of percussion in struments (including harp, vi braphone, piano, celesta and chimes) that Jan Williams con ducted, with emphastic preci sion. Miss Byrn-Julson gave a re markable performance, one that was melodious and pure. Her voice joined disjointed tones with clarity, and whether in attacks or disappearances it was a nimble force. Probably more than most singers of the disjunct atonal music, Miss Bryn-Julson sings with a soft edge and not as if she were throwing darts at pitches. “If you’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich?” by East man began with a rising chro matic scale (played on the pic colo trumpet by Charles Li rette), and it used this therma tic material later in unison Storing for an ensemble of brass instruments and am plified double basses (whose groa ning were those of heavy animals). Matter is everything, mind little, in this music, in which an electronically amplified vi olin (the beast), played by Benjamin Hudson (yet another returning Creative associate), screeches something awful. Vigorous Contacting Eastman conducted vigor ously, urging the band on, hop ping on the stage and getting surprising elevation. The mu sic is what you might expect if an American big band played a one-night stand in Concord, Mass. There is a bleating trumpeter in the section who could be on leave from May nard Ferguson’s band; and there are cutoffs that leave other instruments hanging on Two sets of chimes play tones that are pure enough. But toughness prevails, a kind of thug simplicity that tells the mind to take a walk. I is an entertainment — certain massed, dissonant, blurred brass chromaticisms appeal and one that may be an argumen that music not be ele gant. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The music would have to be played with only two rehearsals, the notes had to be clear. Eastman’s method of composing was the old one of putting notes on paper: “You sit down and you start writing at the table.” The Table Was in the kitchen of his grandmother’s apartment in the Bronx. “She listens to WMCA all the time,” Eastman said. “That call-in station.” “It’s One Of the best pieces I’ve done, one of the most profound.” Eastman was not even smiling. “There’s no experimentation in it It doesn’t strive to be modern in any way. I must say, at this point I know the meaning of the notes.” In other pieces he’s glad to exper iment. “In Art You strive for tradition, or to copy nature in a certain way — go from the one to the many, the many to the one. This is no attempt to copy nature.” He already had ruled out tradition. Since writing “If You’re So Smart” Eastman has composed experimental pieces, pieces that may have numer ical systems as the basis of the composing method, or that have other methods that he does not prefer to discuss, merely saying of them “Blahblah-blah.” “Blah-Blah-Blah” articulated slowly, nearly solemnly, is a way of showing pretension the door. Experimental music doesn’t try to be good music, Eastman said. “You do experiments, you don’t expect them to be satisfying. An experiment is just an experiment. It shouldn’t have a goal. “A True experimentalist shouldn’t look for people to pat him on the back after a concert to say ‘Oh, this is a great piece!’ You can write a piece of music that fails.” He wonders about his piece, “If You’re So Smart,” if it is more American or more European in its effect. ("Kitchen Composer...' con'd.) “I Would Like to know if it has an American flavor,” Eastman said. “It is a little on the empty side,” he slowly said, “you know what I mean? I wonder how this piece comes off. I didn’t begin with a real motive in mind. It’s a piece that players could perform immediately, with minimum amount of fuss. The language had to be precise. “It’s Not Back to harmony. “It’s not back to exhalation — to something that will thrill the listener. “It’s not holding up the Western tradition.” He Mentioned one of his pieces, “Feminine,” that he composed with a motive in mind, or rather, with the audience in mind, wanting to please it. “It is totally harmonic, and certainly excludes any unpleasantness — unless you consider it boring,” said Eastman. “The piece at the end sounds like the angels opening up Heaven.” The composer was about to smile. “Should we say euphoria?” One Last Question Eastman didn't answer: “If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich?” "It's what my mother always asked,” Eastman said, “don’t you know.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It would be a limited remembrance , however. What talents Eastman possesses are easily counted: He’s a pianist, vocalist (with a range from bass to counterten or), composer, choreographer, poet. It is remarkable that one person holds the talents, not a quintet in residence. The Method Of his talent also is diverse. One of his first performances in Buffalo in the late 1960’s was in the Haydn oratorio, “The Creation,” when he sang the bass part of Adam for a performance by the Buffalo Choral Arts Society that Robert Schultz conducted. It wasn’t too long before the more avant-garde leanings of Eastman were appreciated by Lukas Foss at the University of Buffalo’s Center of the Creative and Performing Arts, which admitted Eastman as a Creative Associate in 1969. Eastman was a rather polite, terri bly concentrated pianist when he appeared for the first time, playing his own solo piano music, on an Evenings for New Music concert; but when he sang Davie’s “Eight Songs for a Mad King” on the series during the 1970-71 season he had fully progressed. Since Then it has been impossible to think of Eastman as anything but a remarkable extrovert, a quiet and unassuming performer, an inventor with the ability to imagine plots and poetries of music that appear absurd to those who believe an artist’s mind should live in small spaces. Lately he has been living in New York City on the Lower East Side, performing in the Kitchen Club, and giving concerts of his own music. Eastman was back in town a short while ago, in preparation for the performance of his recent piece, “If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich?” on the Evenings for New Music program tonight at 8 in the auditorium of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. It’s Impossible to report an interview with Eastman that catches the intonations and pitches of his words, which rarely read the way they ("Kitchen Composer..." Con'd.) sound. When he says “Listen,” for example, he places an accent on both syllables, making it sound like a word full of s’s. "Listen,” Eastman said, giving his brief report on the condition of the railroads, one of which carried him to Buffalo, “those trains — they need help.” Nearly Every serious comment is a prelude to his enjoyment of the absurdity of seriousness. Nor does he merely smile, but laughs out loud. A reporter, to preserve the integrity of his remarks about his own music, hesitates to comment while Eastman recalls the genesis of “If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich?” The piece was written for Lukas Foss, and performed last year for the first time by the Brooklyn Phil harmonia conducted by Foss. It was done once after that on one of East man’s own concerts in New York. Eastman Said that “If You’re So Smart” was composed “hamburger style,” and he went on to explain that the music had to be composed rather the way fast food is prepared. There were only two rehearsals before the performance, and as East man said, “Everything had to be written, there was no room for chance.” "It’s Really a brass piece, with violin and chimes," Eastman said. “It was written in such a mood,” he began to explain. “The piece doesn’t come from a certain tradition” (im provisatory, for example, or Western). “It was just written in such a way — it’s very difficult to explain without being pretentious.” There Was a brief silence that invited just enough pretension to allow him to continue: “Well, if you don’t believe in anything then what do you write? That’s what it is.” It was not clear if Eastman was describing a lack of belief in any composing technique, or something more philosophical. Or perhaps the one disbelief was somehow connected to the other, greater, disbelief. "None Of Us has any real infor mation,” Eastman said, settling in the greater field of doubt. “Where we came from, what purpose there might be. “We do know if we don’t eat we get hungry, and if we get too cold we freeze to death.” Just as he seemed pleased to affirm facts of the world, so as a composer he is pleased to affirm the facts of notes, and it is notes that make up “If You’re So Smart.” “It’s a piece written at the table,” Eastman said. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The movements and their dates of composition are: Don (1961), Improvisation 1 (1958-60), Improvisation 2 (1958), Improvisation 3 (1960), and Tombeau (1959). All of the movements are set to the poems of symbolist poet Stephane Mallarme who died in 1898. Boulez states that he was drawn to Mallarme by the density of his texture and the obscurity of his language with its resistance to easy comprehension. "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?"

We do not know what we were before we took on a physical being or if in fact we were. And we have no choice whether to end or not to end our physical being (except in the case of suicide), nor do we know the state of our existence after the demise of our physical body. What we do know is that cold and hunger cause pain. Having been brought into existence on a planet where humans hardly communicate with one another and where there is such a gross lack of meaningful information, I feel that I need not in any way imitate human or universal models in my music. The one thing that I feel that I must do is to respect those with whom I am dealing, and that is all." - Julius Eastman � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She made the wide-flung intervals sound easy; her pitch was flawless; her sound was consistently pure and instrumental-like.” Rounding out the program will be works by the 20th century classicist, Arnold Schoenberg, and by Julius Eastman, a former Creative Associate, whose brilliant performances here, in composition, voice, dance and music theatre, made him one of the best-known and most popular of the Creative Associates.

By Renate Strauss Special to Buffalo Evening News Julius Eastman is a composer, Grammy Award-nominated singer-actor, a fine pianist and a musician who easily relates to classical music, avant-garde or jazz. This amazingly versatile artist, who has a diploma in composi tion from the Curtis Institute and studied piano with Mieczyslaw Hors zowski, is also a skillful choreographer and a film maker — with four films already completed and shown at film festivals around here. Eastman joined the UB Creative Associates in ’69, taught theory and composition at the university and zoomed into prominence as a multifaceted talent in prestigious music centers here and abroad. "I did a lot of things between 1970-75,” he recalled. “Zubin Mehta intro spective probings, they don’t sound invited me to sing ‘Essay’ (by Hans self-righteous or self-pitying. His Werner Henze) with his orchestras Weltanschauung does not include in Los Angeles and Tel Aviv. such sentiments. “I premiered Henze’s ‘El Cimar Seeing man’s journey through life ron’ in Pittsburgh. Lukas Foss had rather like a bizarre adventure punc me conduct one of my pieces, ‘Seven tuated with inspired lunacy, East Trumpets,’ on his Marathon Series man has nevertheless not given up with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. the search for fresh and honest feel “My music has been performed ings no matter how irreverent. all over Europe by the Creative As sociates and the S.E.M. Ensemble often with me at the keyboard. They are playing my pieces on European radio stations all the time. And,” he said. "I have a suitcase full of reviews.” His portrayal of the mad King George TH in Peter Maxwell Davies’ music-theatre piece “Eight Songs for a Mad King” created waves of ex citement both here and in New York. He repeated the role with the New York Philharmonic under Pierre Boulez on the Prospective Encoun­ ters Series, and made a recording of the piece in London with composer Davies. • • All That momentum came to a crashing diminuendo a while ago, as though Eastman had suddenly turn ed his back on success. “It was very simple,” said East man, who is dividing his time now between his jazz ensemble and filling out forms for grants so that he can continue writing and playing his music. “I did not think the Creative As sociates were very creative any more. I had no power to plan pro grams and none of the stuff that I suggested was taken up. “So the only thing I really did was to come up with these hit shows once in a while — ‘The Mad King,’ the de Pablo piece, so on and so forth — I was a kind of talented freak who occasionally injected some kind of vitality into the pro gramming,” he said laughing. "What I am trying to achieve is “It just didn’t work any more. I to be what I am to the fullest — am not blaming anybody,” con Black to the fullest, a musician to cluded the slender, tallish Eastman. the fullest, a homosexual to the Dissatisfied with his teaching as fullest. well — “The stuff I was doing at the "It is important that I learn how university was not very creative” — to be, by that I mean accept every Eastman felt his time was up. thing about me.” Homosexuals, he feels, have "When you see that your time is up, then your time is up. If you go on caused all their own problems be just for the money, and I mean I cause they are afraid to admit what liked the money, you know that can’t they are. "What amazes me is how few art work.” Obviously going through a drastic ists of all people are willing to admit revision of his inner life, discarding their homosexuality,” he said and worn-out ideas and tired cliches, added: “I have discovered that most artists are uptight on that subject, Eastman is clearly groping. afraid to reveal themselves, and Whatever the nature of his afraid to admit to the world who they are. ‘‘People fear punishment,” he continued. “There is always some body who is trying to crush you. I re fuse to think about that, I refuse to be afraid of my comrades, of being castigated, thrown out or thought of badly.” * * * This Search for identity East man feels is helping him enormously to locate his heritage as a composer. “Our whole Western thought is a kind of futuristic thinking. When I look back, that was the thought I was into,” he admitted. “I was writ ing symphonies, sonatas—I was working for the future. “I am not writing for some kind of futuristic thing anymore, for lifeafter-death,” he declared. “I don’t give a hoot about the future, posteri ty or anything else along those lines. “You know, I think that is a step in the right direction—hopefully backwards (cascades of laughter).” His intense involvement in jazz at the moment is a revelation to Eastman. “I really enjoy playing with my group. What happens now, instead of getting up every morning compos ing, I get up and practice the piano, improvise—it’s jazz, that’s the difference. “I have always tried to incorpo rate all these synchopations, but not until now have I come to the essence of that music. “Jazz is so exciting,” Eastman pointed out. “because it. allows for instant expressions of feelings; it has immediacy and it also has style. "When 1 am playing this music,” he confessed, “I feel as if I am trying to see myself—it’s like diving into the earth, that's what it feels like.” Whereas playing Beethoven, Schubert or Bach was so very differ ent for him. “The principal thing is to come close to these composers’ thoughts—thoughts and essences that have already been accepted and well established. “I just want to break through all this to arrive at pure thought,” he said. After a long pause he added: “So I came to jazz because I feel it comes closer than classical music to being pure, instantaneous thought.” His group — the Space Perspective—has performed at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, on WBFO radio and at clubs around town. Basically, however, Eastman is living on hope—hope that he’ll get a grant, and many more engagements for his group. He admits its life in transition, and that he often feels like a wander ing soul. What provides him with the glue to hang together while he is planning and waiting is that he knows what he wants—his strong inner focus. "The arts are so vital to me,” he said finally, “playing the piano, sing ing or composing helps me to get closer to myself. “It’s through art that I can search for the self and keep in touch with my resources and the real me.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He wants it to be clear, that it’s like looking through transparent water at the pebbles in a stream.” Cage reported that when asked to advise a fretful music improvisation group, he told them to open the windows. “I asked them to listen to the sounds that were coming through the open windows and then make a sound that wouldn’t interfere with the sounds coming through the windows.” He then passed around slides of Thoreau’s drawings telling Morton Feldman, “Morty this is a person who has no expertise and you’ll love it.” Feldman (holding slide to light), “What is it? Is this an animal?” Cage (merrily), “We don’t know what it is.” A student asked an extremely bright question. “In some of your writings, you don’t seem to see any difference between art and life.” The brightness dimmed. There was a pause, a Cageian silence before he said, “I wish I felt that way but I don’t.” A New System Of Love Wednesday evening, at a public concert, the S. E. M. Ensemble per formed his 1970-72 Song Books in which each performer is supposed to devise his own program of activity independently of the others. One male performer brought out a young, blond man and a young black woman and proceeded to spiel out a broadly funny lecture on “a new system of love” with virulent homosexual overtones. At the end of it, the young man was undressed and the subject of the performer’s mock advances. Another performer drew pictures and threw a ball of string around the audience. Another smashed a cream pie, licked the paper it was on, and hopped around Baird Hall on skis dressed in a blue plastic cat mask. Pounding The Piano: The Perilous Night Thursday’s seminar—Cage stalked up and down the room, extremely agitated. Something had to be said but there was to be a preface first. Cage told the students that one performance of “The Perilous Night,” an early prepared piano piece, was so bad, “I blamed myself for having written something that had become so hideous.” After years of avoiding performances of the piece, he was badgered by one pianist to listen to his version which turned out to be beautiful, making him again content with the piece. “Last night when I heard the S. E. M. Ensemble play Song Books, I regretted that I composed it. I regret that my work now exists as something so widely misunderstood There is no solution to this talk. At the most I wish to make suggestions, to make those suggestions ambiguous.” “What disturbs me so deeply is that the history of civilization is the history, not of the wars, is the history that includes Thoreau. Why can’t we learn? When something is possibly beautiful, why do we find every way that is in our hands to possibly trample on it? It’s difficult to understand. Perhaps there is no hope for us. “I have apparently done my work in such a way that when people do their worst work they connect it with me.” He slammed his palm against the piano lid. “No matter how many times I say ‘You can’t do what you want’, people always interpret it as you can do anything you want.” Cage protested that homosexuality is particularly not suggested “in this work. The work says connect Satie with Thoreau, neither of whom had any relationship with anyone ... I don’t approve because the ego of (the performer) is closed in on the subject of homosexuality. In a Zen situation he wouldn’t know the first step to take.” “(The performers) became caricatures of people rather than people on the path to unknown revelations. Each one had a tic. “The reason the problem is insoluble is that you know I don’t want to say what I just said, that I don’t want a situation where my feet are clean and yours are dirty.” Other subjects intervened but Cage couldn’t shake himself from the aftermath of the performance and the melancholy and anger it caused. “At the end (one performer) put on her hat and said, ‘Don’t you wish you were up here doing this piece?’ meaning, ‘Don’t you wish you were able to do any damn thing you want in public?” “Silence is becoming free of one’s intentions, very few people are willing to do that.” His voice cracked, his breathing halted, it sounded as if he were fighting back tears as he said, “I have the feeling I have to keep on saying it endlessly.” Instead of tears, there was a long pause and he laughed. “Just the phrase I’ve said so many times ‘purposeful purposelessness’ has to be said again and again. “Everything I’ve done has been to go in the direction of those sounds which I didn’t intend. I have decided to take the attitude of silence, of listening.” To do a Cage piece “in the spirit of putting their ideas across in the most conventional ways, why mustn’t I draw the line and say what I don’t accept?” Earlier, he had told a story about an aging anarchist who adopted two young children. Their first night in his home, they were so happy for they spent all night bouncing on their beds. Finally, as the man told Cage, he— who didn’t believe in rules and had never before made one for anyone—had to go up and tell the children, “No Jumping On The Bed!” And so Cage, after a lifetime of denying the ego and trying to over throw it, after a life spent trying to bring the holy democracy of Whitman and especially Thoreau into the performance of music, must object to jumping on the beds if his life’s work is to have any meaning. At one point in “M”, Cage asks, “What may a man do and not be ashamed of it?” — the gravest question human beings ever ask. That he now feels constrained to object to performance abuse, implies that the world (of music and beyond) rarely shares Cage’s qualities — to quote Arthur Koestler on another subject, “a sophisticated form of innocence on a higher turn of the spiral.” One doesn’t have to have revered Cage (as I have) for years or to have used his books as bedside books and wisdom books to know that it is indeed tragic that John Cage may have been too naive for the real world of music and that he may now know it. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

E. M. Ensemble on Wednesday night in Baird Recital Hall at the University of Buffalo. “Atlas Eclipticalis” for an ensemble that includes violin, flute and three percussionists, is a quiet (mostly) exercise in slow coordination, its parts synchronized loosely, so that the music will never be the same from performance to performance. The effect is peaceful but not very moving, although some listeners were moved enough to leave early. Suzy Hawkins con ducted, with slow-motion downand up-beats, about two minutes per beat. She sensibly alternated arms to avoid fatigue. Musicians Praised Cage, who is in residence this week at the university to teach as part of Morton Feldman’s summer composition seminar, went on stage after the performance to congratulate the musicians. The piece involved such minimal gestures as a flute dot, violin pluck, percussion accent. Together the parts are supposed to form a college landscape of tones. (These joined the sounds of the building — a motor’s tonic hum, a distant piano, the squeaks of auditorium seats.) It was interesting to watch the performers prepare their sounds. Even so, one was sur prised by the sudden clatter when Jan Williams, director of the Creative Associates, pushed a chain off a table onto the floor. He also rubbed objects on the amplified head of a bass drum, and struck a gong with a soft mallet, very quietly. Instruments Amplified John Boudler stirred the air a few times by giving the timpani a good whack, and Donald Knaack once looked as if he were about to do something with a chain but if he did it was very little. The violinist was Benjamin Hudson, and Eberhard Blum was the flutist. Ralph Jones manned the electronic controls (all the instruments were equipped with contact microphones). This performance presented only one of the four pages of “Atlas,” and lasted 40 minutes. The parts allow freedoms of choice for the performers, such as the order in which pitches are played, and the method of tone production (for example, in the violin part, arco or pizzacato). Allows Liberties The individual parts may be played separately as solos, and “Atlas Eclipticalis” may be performed with other music by Cage (it has been done that way here before).' The S.E.M. Ensemble re peated its theatrical per formance of Cage's "Song Books.” done earlier at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. Performers included Judith Martin, who vocalized with the aid of distorted amplification; Jan Williams, on amplified typewriter; and Petr Kotik, who did a sleep-walking dance with his coat pulled over his head. The final Cage concert Friday night at 8 o’clock includes simultaneous performances of works for speaker, percussion ist, pianist, violinist, and flutist. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

But the second all-Cage program of the State Uni versity of Buffalo Music Department’s “June in Buf falo” filled Baird Hall with the John Cage of the public mind — oceans of silence and flurries of wild, some times funny activity where the composer has left the musicians’ options completely open. The mock-scandal came with Julius Eastman’s part of the S.E.M. Ensemble’s perform ance of Cage’s 1970 Song Books 1 and 2. For his unspecific part of Cage’s piece, Eastman had prepared a mock-lecture as "Professor Paga of La Hois. Calif.” on "a new system of love.” With Eastman as Professor were two live “speci mens” whom he named “Mis ter Charles and Miss Susiana.” By the time Eastman’s little performance was finished, Mis ter Charles was completely un dressed and Eastman’s leering, libidinous, lecture-performance had everyone convulsed with the burlesque broadness of his homoerotic satire. It was both sadly puerile and enormously funny at the same time. There were other bits of busi ness too. Petr Kotik shaved, skied across the stage and up the aisles in a blue plastic cat mask, and viciously pounded a cream pie with a stick, licking up the remains. Judith Martin tossed a ball of string around the audi ence, painted a bit, drank some brandy, passed out flowers and did most of the singing. Jan Williams’ typing and a few other bits were left over from an earlier realization of the piece by the group in the Albright-Knox auditorium. Wednesday evening’s Baird Hall version compared to that one as Andy Warhol’s “Lone some Cowboys” might com pare to “The Little House on the Prairie.” The oceans of silence were integral parts of Cage’s 1961-2 “Atlas Eclipticalis,” a compo sition whose configurations on paper are taken from the con figurations of a star map. Most of the occasional sounds were pianissimo brushings, thumpings and pluckings in the midst of vast amounts of si lence during which you could hear the Baird Hall air condi tioning, auditorium doors being gingerly open and shut to accommodate late arrivals, and the squeaking of seats as people shifted position. * * * Using Jan Williams’ real ization of the piece, conductor Suzy Hawkins conducted in the traditional Cageian way — with arms moving slowly like the second hand of a clock in an elongated world where time moves at a tempo a mere frac tion of ours. This was the same way Cage conducted his Con cert for Piano and Orchestra when the piece was performed by David Tudor and the Buffalo Philharmonic at one of the mid-60’s Buffalo Festivals for the Arts. The performers of “Atlas Eclipticalis” were Creative As sociates Donald Knaack, Eber hard Blum, Benjamin Hudson, Williams, Ralph Jones and John Boulder. At the end of the piece Cage kissed conductor Hawkins and shook a few hands. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On a much smaller scale, it may even remind area music goers of the mid-’60s Buffalo Festivals for the Arts in its concentration of new music events. The entire festival will be centered around the work of John Cage, Earle Brown and Christian Wolff who will serve one-week residencies on the campus. With UB’s Morton Feldman, they were the composers who lead the Ameri can vanguard in the 1950s and whose chance, indeterminate techniques have become com monplace for composers worldwide. At the age of 63, John Cage is virtually the gray eminence of the world’s experimental music. Every practice com monly termed “avant-garde” for 20 years finds a precedent in his work — electronicism, Chance, multi-media. His Books of collected writ ings — “Silence,” “A Year From Monday” and “M” — are considered by many as important works of American literature. Brown and Wolff, both in their forties, occupy almost opposite poles in the Cageian esthetic—Brown, an advocate of balance between control and non-control and Wolff, whose work tends to be daring and experimental. To support their work, Brown has been a recording engineer and Wolff has been a classics professor. In addition to the music of Cage, Brown and Wolff, there will be a program of the piano sonatas of Charles Ives. A few programs will also feature works by resident Buffalo composers Morton Feldman and Lejaren Hiller. Cage’s week-long residency will begin June 2; Brown’s June 9 and Wolff’s June 16. Each composer will run daily workshops from 10:30 AM to noon and seminars from 2 to 4 PM.. With All events in Baird Hall at 8 PM. the schedule is: June 2 — All-Cage program featuring his early music for Toy Piano, Six Melodies for Violin and Keyboard and his Third Construction. June 4 — All Cage Program by the S.E.M. Ensemble featur ing the Song Books and Atlas Eclipticalis. June 6 — Various Cage works performed simultaneously as well as “Etcetera”. June 11 — Christian Wolff’s “Snow Drops”, Earle Brown’s “Corraboree,” Feldman’s “Four Pianos” and Cage’s “Winter Music.” June 13 — All Brown pro gram featuring “Novana, Hodograph, Times 5, Decem ber. New Piece 1971, Syntagn No. 3”. June 16 — The Buffalo String Quartet plays Brown’s String Quartet, Feldman’s Three Pieces for String Quartet, Hill er Quartet No. 6, Jan Williams and Donald Knaack will per form filler’s “Three Rituals for Percussion”. June 17 — The Piano Sonatas of Charles Ives performed by Mils Vigeland (the first) and Yvar Mikhashoff, (the “Con cord” Sonata). June 18 — “Changing the System” by Christian Wolff, a work described as being for “from 10 to 50 people”. June 20 — All Wolff pro gram: “Songs for Solo Voice” performed by Julius Eastman and excercises. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The real grabber of the group was Soledad Interrumpida, a collaborative creation with tapes realized by Luis De Pable, former visiting UB Slee professor; filmed by Ed Emsh willer, and Jose Luis Alexan co’s sculpture, all under the technical direction of Ralph Jones. Red, black and white projec tions from three sources cover ed a screen and adjacent walls with shapes ranging from ab stract to stylized and distorted ranks of nude bodies, all in con stant, pulsing, seething motion, while two tape sources provid ed lip-smacking, whining, motorboating, dopplering, puf fing, chirping and other vari eties of sonic ambience. Meanwhile, three flaccid rub ber sculptures resembling human forms did a slow dance of repeated inflation-delation. The combined effect was steadily mounting tension, and it made the succeeding pieces for three synthesizers, voice and drums by Judith Martin, Chorale and Touch, seem aim less by comparison. Perform ing were the composer, Tom Constanten, Alan Pearce, Jan Williams, Julius Eastman and Gerald Eastman. Here it would seem that the synthesizer has not yet been taken beyond the raw experi mental stage and made suc cessfully into a purposeful composing tool. Miss Martin is not alone in this search. The program had begun with Donald Knaack and Jan Wil liams in Steve Reich’s 1973 Clapping Music, the stepwise de-phasing of a unison hand clap rhythm coming full circle to unison again. Immediately MR. Knaack slipped into the fast lisping sound of Werner Heider’s 1970 “Edition,” which alternated wordless vocal effects with lightly glossed instrumental interludes, largely in percus sion. Messrs. Williams, Con stanten, Benjamin Hudson and Eberhard Blum performed. Wine, cheese and MR. Con stanten’s outre theater piece, “When You Get To The,” were offered to attendees in the res taurant after the program. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The nonstop, music will begin with Steve Reich’s “Clapping Music” a rhythmic piece which Williams will perform with fellow percussionist Donald Knaack. But not until the regular program is completed will the audience have a reason to clap for music. Pieces by Werner Heider, Luis DePablo and Judith Martin will follow the Reich, without Interruption, in performances by the University of Buffalo Creative Associates. Then the program moves from the audi torium to the gallery restaurant for a party of theater music, wine, and cheese. “The idea is to make transitions from piece to piece smooth and connected," Williams said, “to form an in tegrated whole.” Multimedia Work Most likely the “Evenings” format will not lead to doing away with applause at concerts, although it may demonstrate the ability of performers to survive in a world of one-armed music lovers. “Soledad Interumpida” is a multimedia work, with tape music by former UB Slee Prof. Luis DePablo, film by Ed Emshwiller (formerly with UB’s media studies) and in flatable dolls made by Jose Luis Alexanco. The film will be projected on three screens; one projector will aim the film images at a series of mirrors, which will reflect the film to a screen. Thus, a projectionist becomes a live performer. The four-foot dolls, which also will be deflated in the course of the performance, will be set up in front of the main screen. Other works are Heider’s “Edition” in a realization by Eberhard Blum for in strumentalists who vocalize, and two live-electronic pieces by Judith Martin, a Creative Associate whose instrument is the synket, a small synthesizer. Moves to Restaurant Her “Chorale" (using notes b Bach which will not be recognizable) and “Touch” (whose poetic text will be live and recorded) will be perform ed by Miss Martin with Williams, percussion, Julius Eastman, voice, and Gerald Eastman, electric bass. After the regular program the audience will go to the gallery restaurant where Tom Jan Williams ... nonstop music Constanten’s humorous theater piece, “When You Get to the Asterisk,” will be performed by Blum, Knaack, Constanten and Ben Hudson. Williams, ending his first year as director of the UB Center of the Creative and Performing Arts, said he has been pleased by what the Creative Associates have ac complished this season, the 11th for the center. “The musicians have been able to realize a lot of their personal projects,” Williams said, citing Blum’s programs built around Karlheinz Stockhausen and Joseph Kubera’s resuscitation of the 12tone music of Josef Matthias Hauer, an early experimenter. Foreign Appearance Williams and Knaack go to Yugoslavia next week for a program May 15 at the Zagreb Musical Biennale, when Williams also will investigate bookings for the Creative Asso ciates next fall. Already the CAs are schedul ed to play at the Warsaw Autumn Festival in Poland on Sept. 24. A small tour could in clude programs in Eastern and Western Europe. Williams said Moscow has shown interest in welcoming “Evenings for New Music.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I won’t pretend to you that the Baird Hall UB Composers Workshop concert Friday evening was a full house but the audience was more than ample considering that April has decided to be 'the most idiotic month if not the cruellest. And the “draw” was the piece that elicited the largest audience reaction, Andrew Velcoff’s ballet “Visit to Tran sylvania,” expressly composed for performance by Karl Sin gletary’s Buffalo Inner-City Ballet Company. Julius Eastman narrated the prologue with macabre canni balistic hilarity to get things off to a suitable start. * * * The Ballet that followed had everything from Vampires and Frankenstein monsters to a little Kung Fu around the witches cauldron. Singletary’s very young company perform ed well, especially 17-year-old Marvin Askew as Dracula and Dawn Shields as his paramour of the underworld. But it was Velcoff’s music I found especially delightful. It was accurately redolent of Uni versal Studios circa 1931 (tympani rolls, tremolos ga lore) but generally kept a straight face. Well, almost. Some bluesiness from Andrew Stiller’s bass clarinet over a pounding ostinato made for a funny way to announce one of Dracula’s big entrances. And then there was that Johann Strauss parody. In an odd way, young student-composer workshops are really where the action is in modern music. They are where you find out what will be fashionable for a while. * ** Judging From the first half of Friday evening’s con cert, Morton Feldman’s resi dence in Buffalo has not exact ly gone unnoticed in the musi cal styles of the UB composers. Long sustained notes, an over all deliberateness of pace and a predilection for soft but chilly instrumental combinations characterized almost all the pieces in the first half of the concert. Soprano Winifred Black, oboist Paul Schlossman and pianist Claudia Hoca per formed Charles Casavant’s “Vocalise” which had a rather beautifully sustained, pointillis tic flow growing steadily more dramatic. Violinist Carol Zeavin, the composer at the piano and Beye Fyfe playing offstage French horn played Nils Vigeland's “Largo” in tribute to Ives’ 100th birthday. The off stage instrument — a favorite Ivesian device (for instance “The Unanswered Question”) — was used with almost comic Ivesian nonchalance here. * * * The Major work in the first half was Michael Christo pher’s engagingly delicate “La Coupole” well-performed by soprano Elaine Sheean (a dif ficult part that) and instrumentalists Gary Hatt, Will Rogers, Neal Hatch, Mich ael Andriaccio, Maureen Galla gher under the composer’s direction. The second half began with Joseph Rothstein’s “The Trial of Socrates” for a group which would have inspired the Stra vinsky followers in Nadia Bou langer’s 20’s salon — flute (the composer), clarinet (Hatt), oboe (Schlossman) and bassoon (Sylvia Graff). Other participants in “A Visit to Transylvania” were: Carl Askew, Deatra McComb, Regi na Askew, Edward Hughes, Martha Caldwell, Russell McKinnon, April Anise Stone, Kelvin McHenry, Curtis Chap man, Mark Waddell, Andre Williamson, Debbie Nash, and Paul Askew. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

E. M. Ensemble: Feldman Soars and Cage Bores By Jeff Simon Things began auspiciously with Jan Williams’ flour ish of stereophonic typing. As the sound of keys, car riage returns and bar spaces shifted back and forth between speakers on either side of the Albright-Knox Auditorium, it sounded a bit like the mez zanine of the old Buffalo Eve ning News building (the Sports Department was on one side, columnists and critics were on the other and there was an empty no-man’s land in be tween. Then, with shoes off, Nora Post began to knit, Petr Kotik stalked on stage and made ridiculous, monster-ish gestures wearing his black overcoat backwards over his head. • • The S.E.M. Ensemble’s per formance of John Cage’s “Song Books 1 and 2” Saturday evening also featured: Williams taking many slugs from a leather-covered flask and showing slides of what may well be the Williams fam ily romping in the woods; Kotik chanting, “The best form of government is no govern ment at all,” next to the anarchists’ black flag; Julius Eastman skipping rope; Kotik emerging from backstage with a silly lion’s mask and eating a sandwich; and, in what I felt was the coup of the evening, Nora Post casually wheeling a supermarket shopping cart from behind the curtain, throw ing her belongings inside and propelling it like a scooter around the hall. All of this was mixed in with electronically distorted vocalizations from Williams, Kotik and Judith Martin. *** Like So Much of Cage’s work, it sounds better on paper than it plays. There is no rea son on earth why any of this should be boring. However, it very definitely is. Someone once said to Cage: “You’re never bored are you?” He replied that when you drop the idea of dramatic climax in life or performance, nothing bores you. The rest of us, imprisoned by the world of Kojak and prescribed work days, get bored rather easily. I think that’s Cage’s problem as well as ours. The substantial work of the evening was “Instruments” by UB Composer Morton Feld man, a work commissioned by the world-touring S.E.M. Ensemble and premiered by the Buffalo-based group in West Germany in January. Lake all of Feldman’s work it has the character of eternal si lence casually ornamented with beautiful, low-level sound. * * * A Fascinating thing about Feldman’s work is that, from its will-less origins in artistic non-interference with pure sound, it is inching its way toward a fully structured and determined, personal, ex pressive “art” music. It is do ing this at about the respira tory tempo of the average Feldman composition (inhale and exhale deeply and you’ll know the approximate average length between sounds in a Feldman piece). But it is do ing it, nevertheless. Actually, this doesn’t sur prise me in the slightest al though it may surprise some of his older friends and associ ates. The whole Feldman es thetic is Romantic to begin with. * * * “Instruments” is full of accidental “melodies” and directions for sound color changes from trombone, oboe, flute, piccolo and English horn. With the celestial acoustics of the Albright Sculpture Court, it sounded magnificent. As this development of Feld man continues, he may be come the pivotal man in world music of the mid-century.

Ensemble Review Cage Oddities Contrast With Feldman’s Beauty By Thomas Putnam The S.E.M. Ensemble staged John Cage’s “Song Books 1, 2” Saturday night at the AlbrightKnox Art Gallery Auditorium, producing amusement and no little tedium in the course of exploring the world of artistic disobedience. Also on the program by the group, whose name is an acronym for nothing in particular, was the first American performance of Morton Feldman’s “Instruments,” composed last year and given its premiere by S.E.M. earlier this year for West German radio in Cologne. Things happened in the Cage comedy of loose ends. Jan Williams used a typewriter as his percussion instrument, turning out copy in a slow clat ter which was amplified through either of two speakers or both. He also sipped the contents of a flask. A Bit of Knitting Nora Post took up her knit ting nearby, quite the picture of domestic bliss. After writing on a large pad while seated comfortably on the stage floor, Judith Martin walked around the auditorium, spoke to a few people, and later chanted an invocation which was electronically distorted. Petr Kotik walked across the stage with his overcoat but toned over his head: it looked as if he didn’t have a head on his shoulders. Later he set up a political streetcomer with a black flag and chanted a message from Thoreau about the best form of government being no government at all. Jumprope Amplified Julius Eastman jumped rope slowly but loudly, the stage area being amplified. He might have been in training but he didn’t appear to be working out vigorously. A few slides were projected on the wall, including one which showed a tree with fungus growing on it. The Feldman music was played in the Sculpture Court by Kotik, alto flute and piccolo; MS. Post, oboe and English horn; Donald Miller, trombone (mostly muted); Ms. Martin, celesta; and Williams, percus sion. Feldman’s music is pretty in its careful coordination of tones. Melodies are small, harmonies pungent. Some en trances seemed not to be played with uniform attack. Most of the instruments are sustaining instruments, although a cymbal dies. Nearby a large Sam Francis painting looked like the magnification of minute life. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Creative Associates and S.E.M. Ensemble The New Music is Alive And Well in Buffalo The Center of the Creative and Performing Arts at U/B, still savoring critical acclaim following its European tour last winter, can be seen and hearing during three Evenings For New Music concerts at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. Dates are Saturday, February 15; Sunday, March 22, and Sunday, May 4. Admis sion is $2.00 for general public and $1.00 for un iversity students, faculty and staff, gallery members, and dues paying Alumni who show their membership cards. This is the 11th season for the Center, operating under a new administrative structure with Jan Williams as music director, Renee Levine as managing director and a music ad visory board made up of Lukas Foss, Allan Sapp, Lejaren Hiller and Morton Feldman. The Center has been presenting several new works it has commissioned with the assistance of the New York State Council on the Arts. In 1971 the u/b alumni Center won the New York State Award for “significant contributions to the field of new music and the experimental performing arts.” New members of the Center this season are Tom Constanten, pianist/composer from California who has studied with Luciano Berio and is a former member of the Grateful Dead; Donald Knaack, percussionist, formerly with the Louisville Orchestra and who is presently editing and arranging for marimba a book en titled “Music of the Renaissance and Early Baroque Periods”; Joseph Kubera, pianist with degrees from U/B and the Peabody Conservatory of Music; Judith Martin, composer/performer from Indiana University specializing in live elec tronics and Margaret Scoville, archivist/librarian who will edit and catalogue the Center’s collection of performance tapes of the past 10 years. Miss Scoville is a PH.D. can didate in composition at SUNYAB. The Center’s artists received superlative reviews in England, Scotland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France and Poland, with only German critics showing mixed reactions. “The one cons tant virtue of American music is its bubbling self-confidence,” said a London Observer critic. And the Scottish Arts Council called the Center Jan Williams February, 1975 ... And the S.E.M. Ensemble “. . . probably the most important force in the ‘new music’.” Another innovative musical group, some of whose members are Creative Associates in the Center, is the S.E.M. Ensemble. It will also per form concerts at Albright-Knox and at the Niagara Center (watch your newspaper). The S.E.M. Ensemble was founded by Petr Kotik in 1970. Members of the group, in addition to Kotik, are Julius Eastman, Jan Williams, Garret List and Nora Post. Kotik, Eastman and Williams are on the U/B music faculty. The group has just returned from its sixth European tour, and is the only group of ex perimental music in existence outside of New York City enjoying such a favored international reputation. Since its inception, according to one reviewer, “S.E.M. has performed a service in the exploration of the most absurd areas of the avant-garde.” S.E.M. Ensemble in rehearsal.

You heard me, a cello. Neck back, strings taut, all curves and sultry promise, bathed in a ruby light. Before you know it, Julis Eastman leaps out of the shadows and tries to kill her, it, with a knife and fork. But his hand is stayed by a mysterious force. He leaves. All the while there are bird calls, shepherd’s pipes, chimes, drum throbs, and the strange multiple moan of a Jew’s-harp trio. Eastman returns. DR. East man, this time, stethoscope and thermometer, surgical gloves, exquisite bedside manner. He probes, pats, advises, pre scribes, leaves. Enter white-gowned, trilling coloratura Isabelle Ganz, slid ing up to the divan and luring a new Eastman back to the scene. It’s Eastman the lover, now, only he’s in love with the cello, not the soprano. And I’m tell ing you, no one could doubt it, from here on in. * * * It’s A fatal love, evidently, and the lover and soprano carry the cello off in mournful cortege, to darkness. So went the music-theater piece "Berceuse” by Spanish composer Luis DePablo on the "Evenings for New Music” series in Albright-Knox Art Gallery auditorium. The Saturday program was by the UB Creative Associates and included four shorter works. The series, in its 11th season, has been rather tame, lately, tending to avant-garde redun dancies and intended jolts that have long since exhausted their shock potential. As you can see, things are picking up. • • • The Opening "Capricorn Flakes” by Arne Mellnas — Donald Knaack on vibes, harpsichordist Joseph Kubera, pianist Judith Martin — should have stayed with its two good jokes out of several. One player crawls inside the grand piano and goes to sleep. Another munches corn flakes crashingly into a hopped-up mike. Violinist Benjamin Hudson gave splendid performances of two unaccompanied works. “Mikka,” by Xenakis is a demented cadenza with ex traordinary leaps, rustles and shimmers to strong dramatic effect. "The Great Bass” by Eric Richards searches through brilliantly gymnastic variations on an invisible pedal-point. • • In Darkness relieved only be a few glimmering candles, Joseph Kubera conducted a chamber group in Robert Moran’s vampirish ode, "L’Apres-Midi du Dracoula.” It was a delightfully ghoulish impression — bat cries, were­ wolf howls, creaking doors, sounds of terror and menace raising the very image of evil Count Dracula at midnight in the Carpathians. Resined fingers along the surfaces of various instruments produced some of the unusual effects. The program brought the Creative Associates back to what they should be involved in — imaginative theatrical and musical ideas, rather than a wearying stretch of playing musical games. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In October it was all a dedi cated listener to the new and untried could do T. Putnam not to beat a retreat from Pauline Oliveros’ “Crow,” in which the composer and Julius Eastman confronted each other in a slow mirror dance of uncertain ritual, to music of intermittent tones and pulses from the musicians scattered about the hall. Other elements of multi media were projections on the walls on either side of the stage of geometric images such as circles (with black spots at the centers), triangles and crosses, and finally views of reddish brown earth (“Crow” is dedi cated “to the Indians of North America"). Happily the program included Satie’s “Entr’acte" with the delightfully absurd film by Rene Clair, Messiaen’s “Oiseaux Exotiques,” with Joseph Kubera giving an ex cellent account of the brightly figured piano part, and two short pieces by Ives to cele brate the Yankee composer's centennial. But “Crow" coming as the entire second half of the pro gram was a piece of mysterious meaning and obvious boredom. It was not as easy to resist retreating from Alvin Lucier’s multimedia work on the Eve nings program last week, since it was a retreat not from bore dom only, but from pain being administered by the sine-wave oscillators whose “sound en vironment" was meant to simulate live performers and a dancer to respond meaningfully. Others left early, not because they are know-nothings, but presumably because they knew something that the University of Buffalo’s Center of the Crea tive and Performing Arts did not wish to acknowledge; namely, that stasis in theater, may lead to a very different meaningful response, which is to flee the environment’s sounds when they seem to be going nowhere. Supporters of new music need not become captives, and when they vote with their feet it is an exercise of criticism. Walking out on the redundant is a step in the right direction. Lucier, A Composer from the faculty of Wesleyan University who was very grateful to the UB Center for presenting a nearly complete performance of his media work (it had been performed in smaller versions previously), has a fondness for the arcane, and is credited with being the first composer to use brain waves in a performance (“per cussion instruments resonated by bursts of alpha’’). He has solid avant-garde credentials as a founder in 1966 of the Sonic Arts Union with composers Robert Ashley, David Behrman (a former Creative Associate at UB) and Gordon Mumma. His live-electronic work presented here is called “Still and Moving Lines of Silence in Families of Hyperbolas," for since-wave oscillators, high voices, instruments, video (de signed by Bill Viola) and dancer (Linda Swiniuch). "Hyperbolas’’ opens with the drawn-out tonal preparation of “Rheingold” but with none of that opera prologue's beauty. The oscillators’ sound waves penetrate slowly but surely, until one is forced to look the nearest electronic speaker in the cone in order to shield the ear, or to retreat to the back of the auditorium and take up a position near the floor. The video images were biackand - white verticals which sometimes lazily drifted across four screens, and were visual translations of the sound waves. The music looked no better than it sounded. As for MS. Swiniuch, she is a dancer, past per formances confirm that, but here she walked in carefully placed steps across the stage, following the rhythm of the music and taking forever to make the crossing. But Essentially nothing happens in “Hyperbolas.” There is a restriction of par ticipation from the in strumentalists, as it they felt no need to contribute to the en vironment. There was one passage to ward the end, however, when the vocalists blended harmonies with the electronic sound waves; it was pretty, perhaps, in suggesting the pure tone of the human voice. A lot of work went into the preparation of Lucier’s music, which would have gone into preparing another piece. But what piece? What music is being denied a place on the Evenings for New Music con certs when Cliveros and Lucier are brought here (from the West Coast and Connecticut) to put on their own stuff? Resident composer Tom Con stanten’s new piece for per cussionist Donald Knaack, “A Giraffe of Whine (And Thou)” at least was entertaining on the last program, and its very lack of pretentiousness was Its sav ing quality (before playing it Knaack took a glass of wine, although from the bottle, not a carafe). Evenings For New Music should not be restricted to presenting music of any par ticular school or design, and indeed it ranged freely. Nor does it exclude music by the modern masters. In fact, re sponsibility to the new includes a respect for tradition. Although an argument can be made that the series is intended to explore, few are persuaded when the exploration is a dead end. When boring and redundant pieces are exhibited for an au dience, the result could be to turn off that audience. Even an open mind has closing hours eventually.

He is a pianist, a composer and a choreographer, and when he sings he is able to plumb the bassic depths or scale the fal setto heights. Now Eastman is taking up a new role as impresario, although he has yet to assume an office with J. Eastman Inc. on the door in gold letters. His new series at 1350 Main St. will begin Saturday with a concert-dance at 9 P.M. featur ing Imani, a band that includes Ann Harris on keyboard. On the second day of the new year 1975 Eastman will present a program of his own music, being three pieces of what he calls his “boy series” (“That Boy,” “Joy Boy,” “Love Boy”), as well as another work for in struments and voice, “Femi nine.” The series will continue through May, and so far includes a piano recital Feb. 21 by Julius Robinson, a black artist from New York City, playing works by Scarlatti, Schubert, Schu mann and Berg, and a program by the Buffalo String Quartet, resident artists at College B on the University of Buffalo’s Am herst campus, whose program sometime in March Eastman hopes will include Borodin’s “Stranger in Paradise” String Quartet. Community Orchestras -Mezzo-soprano Marlene Badg er will be soloist with the Cheek towaga Community Symphony Orchestra conducted by Manuel Alvarez on a program at 8:15 P.M. Wednesday at Cheektowaga Central High School . . . Bari tone Dominic Guastaferro will be soloist with the Orchard Park Symphony Orchestra directed by Joseph Wincenc on an operaChristmas program at 8:15 P.M. Friday at Orchard Park High School. . . . Susan Marshall will be cello soloist and Car men Hughes hornist with the Amherst Symphony Orchestra conducted by Joseph Wincenc on a program including concer tos by Saint-Saens and Richard Strauss at 7:30 P.M. Sunday at Williamsville South High School. Sephardic Songs will be presented by Spanish soprano Sofia Noel on a program with guitarist Pedro Elias at 8:30 P.M.

His techniques included the simple drawing of notes from a hat, which resulted in Er ratum Musical for three voices, and a more complicated proc ess of pulling a toy train of seven open cars under a fun nel full of numbered balls, each number representing a note, then assigning each car ful of notes to an instrument. The work so conceived is called “The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even. Erratum Musical.” These two 1913 pieces were performed here on May 31, and reviewed in this column, the latter in a version for three pianos, following Duchamp’s own number sequences. Since then, SEM director Petr Kotik has been busy with the train, funnel and balls (on display at the performance) and has produced another ver sion which was given its prem iere. The new piece was per formed by SEM members Ko tik, alto flute, Julius Eastman, celeste, Jan Williams, marim baphone, plus guests Garret List, muted trombone and Nora Post, English horn. Lacking conciseness of Du champ’s earlier version, it rambled on for 45 minutes, cast in many distinct sections, each representing one pass­ through of the train. Early-on it consisted mostly of slow tones of equal duration, but later sections were of irregu lar meter and rhythm, the re sult of preselection by the per formers. A fourth work was entitled Musical Sculpture and was de scribed by Kotik as “an un dated, unspecified piece.” Du champ’s connection with the piece remaining unclear. It consisted of a stacked-up col lection of music boxes, wind up toys that play tunes, includ ing a stuffed yellow bunny, and two aerosol-powered marine warning horns. After every thing was set in motion, audi ence members were encour aged to provide rewinds and horn blasts, but interest paled rather quickly and the sculp ture ran down. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jan Williams, beginning his first year as music director of the Center of the Creative and Performing Arts, conducted Satie’s “Entr’acte” for the film by Rene Clair, which originally (1924) was part of the surreal ist ballet “Relache.” This provided a lot of laughs, being full of an imaginative discontinuity that, if one were to give it a balletic name, might be called What de Deuce. Simple and Lyrical Satie’s music is extremely simple and lyrical, and trom bonist James Kasprowicz should be given credit for sticking with his redundant trombone frag ment. The music is as light headed as Clair’s film, which treats the earth's surface as a trampoline for slowly bouncing fools; reality is not solid. More deadly serious was Pauline Oliveros’s "Crow,” which was given its premiere (it was commissioned by the University of Buffalo Center of the Creative and Performing Arts). “Crow” is one of Ms. Oliv eros’s "sonic meditations,” which often presume to use psychic energy from the audi ence. The West Coast composer invites the audience to join "Crow” "by trying to imagine a perfectly black spot.” The piece is a very slow mo tion ceremonial dance by two combatants (Ms. Oliveros and Julius Eastman) who are dress ed for long distance running. They approach each other from opposite sides of the stage, each mirroring the other, finally to dance around each other and disappear in opposite directions. Symmetrical Combat There is no contact; the ritual is a symmetrical combat of wills. When the two are close to each other, they seem to enter a glass revolving door, which prevents a collision. Sym metry then runs its too-predict able course. Meanwhile, pulses and inter mittent tones from musicians scattered about the hall (includ ing a bass clarinetist seated on the stage piano) provided a background music. The work, dedicated “to the Indians of North America.” may be an at tempt to revitalize contemporary art through social ritual. In this sense it may not be off the point that, as a note explain ed. “MS. Olliveros’ current in terests are interdisciplinary and include human relations, exotic foods, karate and shamanism.” Come to think of it, the choreo graphy seemed an exercise in karate. Geometric Images There was, in addition, a lady in black, carrying stuffed crows (exotic food?) who circled slow ly, and images of circles (with a black spot at the center), tri angled and crosses were pro jected, each from merging into the next, finally to be replaced by aerial photos of land — not cities, but reddish brown earth. Williams also conducted Mes siaen’s “Oiseaux Exotiques," a work which praises the asym metrical tunes and rhythms of birds. Joseph Kubera gave an excel lent performance on the piano, playing the quick figures bright ly, and among the instrumental ists who provided a chattering dialogue in this antiphonal avi ary was Donald Knaack, playing the xylophone. Messiaen is a great orchestra tor of pointed color; he enjoys in this piece the percussive stac cato of winds. Finally, however, the technical accomplishment — the perky dazzle of art—is not exhilarating; nature does not compose music, nor does Mes siaen lay eggs. Redundant Piece In the foyer as the audience entered Satie’s “Carrelage Pho nique,” a redundant little piece, was played over and over by the Buffalo String Quartet, flutist Eberhard Blum and clarinetist Edward Yadzinsky. And in recognition of the Ives centenary, Williams conducted two small pieces by the Yankee original, “Adagio sustenuto” and something called “All the Way Round and Back,” a lively con fusion of independent parts. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They are better known in these pages and elsewhere as Creative Associates. In past seasons they have come from several countries. This year the newcomers are Americanbased, though it just turned out that way, nothing exclusive intended: Tom Constanten, a novel inclusion since the California pianist-composer is a former member of The Grateful Dead. Donald Knaack, a percussionist formerly with the Louisville Orchestra, now at work on a book of early music arranged for marimba. Joseph Kubera, returning Buffalonian, a pianist with de grees from State University of Buffalo and Peabody Conservatory. Judith Martin, electronics specialist from Indiana University. Margaret Scoville, archivist who will edit and catalogue the center’s impressive collection of performance tapes of the past 10 years. Returning members are violinist Benjamin Hudson, flutist Eberhard Blum, elec tronic engineer Ralph Jones, composer-instrumentalists Juli us Eastman, Dennis Kahle and Petr Kotik. Two administrators of the center since its founding by Lukas Foss and Allen Sapp have been advanced in the re structuring. Renee Levine be comes managing director, Jan Williams music director. The advisory board is made up of founders Foss and Sapp, and internationally known composers Morton Feldman and Lejaren Hiller. DR. Hiller has been co-director since 1968. The center’s “Evenings for New Music” series in AlbrightKnox Art Gallery auditorium will open Oct. 20. The pro grams also are carried to Carnegie Recital Hall in New York, and to several cities and campuses. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jan Williams, the percussion ist who has been with the Center from the start, and who in re cent seasons has conducted and been instrumental in planning programs, now has the title of music director. Reneee Levine, Center co ordinator, also from the first year of new music at UB, is now managing director. Previous codirectors, Lukas Foss and Lejaren Hiller have joined Morton Feldman and Allen Sapp on the music ad visory board. Foss and Sapp were the origi nal dreamers of the Center idea, which Foss once defined “. . . help the performer, give fel lowships, enable our more tal ented performers to work with leisure on new music so that they may come to realize that they can fulfill themselves as professionals in the field of music.” Grants Pending Originally the Center was supported by the Rockefeller Foundation. This season grants from the New York State Coun cil on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts are still pending. Mrs. Levine says, “this year-to-year thing is sap ping our strength.” This season the Center is down to about 10 Creative As sociates, from close to 20 in the early years. Returning CA’s are Eberhard Blum (flute), Benjamin Hudson (violin), Julius Eastman (com poser, pianist, singer, choreog rapher), Peter Kotik (flute, com poser) Dennis Kahle (percussion, composer), and Ralph Jones, a graduate fellow (electronicist, horn, composer). Eastman, Kahle and Kotik, along with Williams, are mem bers of the UB faculty, a situ ation which reflects the increas ing integration of the Center with the Music Dept. New members of the Center are Tom Constanten, pianist and composer who has worked with the Grateful Dead and the In credible String Band; Donald Knaack, percussion, formerly a member of the Louisville Orches tra; Joseph Kubera, pianist with degrees from UB and the Pea body Conservatory of Music; and Judith Martin, a composer from Electronic Center at Indiana University and performer on the keyboard synthesizer. Williams says the Center will continue to draw on the re sources of the community (Buf falo Philharmonic concertmas ter Charles Haupt is a former CA). “The big difference this sea son is a resident music direct or,” Williams said. "It should be a smoother operation.” But Williams also will change the emphasis slightly, for he is concerned that the Center has gotten a reputation as an establishment group. “I want to shake it up a little,” he said Wednesday in the Center’s office at Cooke Hall on campus. “We will come up with new directions, but continue to present a broad spectrum. We’ll do everybody’s music, as before, but I hope to seek out really interesting new works, and people.” Gaps Noted This season there is no res ident clarinetist (although sev eral were auditioned) or cellist, and Williams notes that the pianist, Kubera, is not a com poser. (However, former CA Amrom Chodos will still be available from the community for clarinet duties; and although cellist David Gibson has joined the State University faculty at Al bany, MRS. Levine expects he might be around now and then.) Evenings for New Music, the series at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, opens Oct. 20 (8 P.M.) with works by Messiaen, Satie (his music for “Entr’acte” with the film by Rene Clair) and Pauline Oliveros (world pre miere). Other dates are Dec. 8, Feb. 15, Mar. 22 and May 4. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is the conception of Pauline Oliveros, prominent West Coast composer currently holding forth at UB in lectures, seminars and performance The composer advises the audience, in effect, to throw objective listening habits out the window and to regard the proceedings as a passive hap pening. Under these ground rules, of course, the event, like so many others, is not review able except by impressionist observations. Of about two hours duration, the piece was inward-turned, static and timeless for the first hour, with a sharp upthrust in dynamics and pace in the long final part. * * * “The Greeting” found 12 participants seated on stage in front of a projection of the 8c Earhart air mail stamp. They periodically emitted “om-m-m” sounds, to which some mystic faddists attribute great occult powers. Nothing happened. “Teach Yourself to Fly” invited the audience to join in concentrated deep breathing and whatever vocal sound production seemed most natu ral. In “Telepathic Improvisation ,” audience will-power was exerted to force the partici pants to start, stop, change dynamics, or select pitches of held tones. * * * In Contrast “Embrace Tiger Return to Mountain” was a series of long crescendos of savage fervor, with the contin uous beat of drums and other percussion dominating, and occasional soft or frenetic interjections by voices or in struments. All the time, the composer and Julius Eastman imitated and stalked each other with deathly slow and convo luted gestures, finally disap pearing out the back doors via the tops of the seats. A consistently high-solemn attitude infused the whole af fair, likening it to a giant, psy chic requiem. But I’m afraid it didn’t sustain my interest near ly so well as some of the earli er and much more inventive Oliveros pieces. — Buffalo Courier-Express.

Con'd.)] Described by pianist Julius Eastman as “experimental,” the work consisted of a 65-note melodic sequence played in unison in gradually increasing, then diminishing progressions. The audience was restless, Interrupting three times with applause, and there were boos and catcalls interspersed with clapping when the work was over. Backstage, inmate Alexander Del Hoye, a member of the prisoners' Cultural Committee which helps to promote the concerts, shrugged off the pri soners’ mixed reaction. "This Audience is very critical." he said. “Inmates are probably harder to please than any other group you could think of.” Flutist Petr Kotik was also unconcerned about the boos. “We have performed this piece many times before many dif ferent audiences, and there is not such thing as a “general reaction’ to it,” he said. “When we played it in Brussels we got a standing ovation.” “Night Journeys,” a 1972 bal let choreographed by 80-year-old Anthony Nelle to be danced to an electronic tape by Ralph Jones, was resoundingly ap plauded by the crowd. Set “in the 1940s in a port town,” the ballet features com pany director Karl Singletary and lead danseuse Karen Shc neggenberger in the roles of a sailor and a provocative street walker. It was a dress rehearsal for the ballet, which is to premiere June 7 and 9 in a program at Woodlawn Junior High. Fin ishing touches had been put on the dance only the night before. The last work performed, “Stay On It,” is a 1973 compo sition by UB Music Dept, facul ty member Julius Eastman. Again inmates cheered and Whistled at the close of the performance to express their appreciation. “We try to get inmate feed back to help us make suggest ions about what programs we’d like to see here.” said inmate Norman “3X” Butler, another member of the Cultural Com mittee. “but the administration is hesitant about letting us do things for ourselves. As long as they can start it, they’ll let us finish it.” After The concert, Butler and Del Hoye talked at length about their feelings toward pri son reforms and the complaints uppermost in prisoners’ minds. “There’s a lot of dissatisfac tion here with the programs of fered,” Butler said. “We don’t get enough latitude to get enough done on our own. We get movies, but they’re all Grade B and C, R-rated films. We get concerts, but they’re chosen by the administration.” Butler and Del Hoye talked about the recent decision to re house men in Cell Block D, where the prison rebellion broke out in 1971. At that time there were 2,200 men in Attica State Prison. After the riots, the pop ulation was reduced to 1.600 and cell block D remained unoc cupied. Now the prison popula tion is increasing again, and all available space is once again needed to accommodate the new numbers. “We’ve got men now in puni tive segregation for refusing to move to Cell Block D,” Del Hoye said. “No one wants to be around where those men died.” “They Haven’t done any “This Is The first time we've ever been brought here painting there since the riot took by the Center for the Perform place. There are some cells ing Arts, although we’ve per there with bloodstains on the formed here four times before," Singletary said. “Our reception has always been excellent here, and we’re grateful for the chance to try a new work out so we can see our mistakes and really polish it up.” Although Singletary said he has “begged, borrowed or stol en” to put together Attica per formances in the past, this time the UB Center has offered [text is cut off] Ballet Company Cheered at Attica floors. The least they could do is repaint the cells,” Butler said. Later a guard said tension was high throughout the prison over the move to reopen Cell Block D. “Sure the prisoners are spooked,” he said. “The guards are spooked about it too, and it’s going to be even spookier around here when they get the popula tion level back up to what it was at the time of the riot.” The guard was displeased with many aspects of current admin istrative policy at the state fa cility but unwilling to officially register complaints he said were widespread among security per sonnel. “If you really want to know what the major problem is here, I’ll tell you,” he said. "This should be a regional facility, and they insist on us filling it up with inmates from New York City.” “You Get A prisoner here from Buffalo or Rochester and chances are his crime is per sonal, committed against some one he knew. In New York City, its a street crime. These guys didn’t snatch a purse from a real person, it was just some body passing on the street. In New York City, they get four years—for a guy from upstate it may be 15. That’s bound to cause problems.” “There’s a conflict in value systems. A guy from upstate borrows a cigarette, he returns it. A guy from the city borrows one, you never see it again. They’re hustlers, street people,” he said. But according to Del Hoye and Butler, solidarity among prisoners is widespread, and inmates are rarely aware of the nature of their fellow pri soners’ crimes. “There’s a lot of camaraderie here. Unless a man talked a lot about his past, no one would know what he was in for," Butler said. In 1971, Wage reform was high on the prisoners’ list of demands for reform. Today, workers in the prison's metal shop are still paid an average of 25 cents a day. A pack of cigarettes in the prison com missary costs 38 cents. “There’s been a lot of agita tion here to start a prisoners’ labor union,” Del Hoye said. "We haven’t really got a legiti mate reason to believe that things will change drastically, but the issue provides a good way to put pressure on the ad ministration for change.” “If you asked me what I really wanted, there’s no limit to what I would ask for,” But ler said. “It’s all a question of the way you view the purpose of a prison term. If you say it’s purely punitive, fine. But if you say it’s for rehabilitation pur poses, then a lot of changes have got to come.” A guard said he regretted that he didn’t feel free to discuss his own feelings about prison life. “They Call us rednecks here because we’re supposed to be prejudiced against everyone," he said. “We’ll I'm prejudiced, but I don’t take it out on any one.” “If an inmate’s a good man, then I like him, just like with anyone else,” he said. “Sometimes maybe I’ll meet you in a bar and we can really talk about this place,” he said regretfully as I left. "There’s a lot of talking that can go on be tween people, but not between institutions. There’s just too much friction.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Frederic Rzewski This composition was written in March, 1969. The melodic sequence of 65 notes is gradually built up by adding a note with each repetition, then diminished by subtracting from the beginning. This operation is performed by any number of musicians playing in unison. The title refers to Rabelais’ story of Pantagruel's friend, who by playing the fool, managed to get rid of a whole shipload of cheating merchants and their faithful sheep, causing them to throw themselves into the sea one after another. - F.R.

Monday, April 22, 1974 Music Review Hudson Strays From Beaten Path By Thomas Putnam Benjamin Hudson took his violin recital off the beaten path by including on it a new micro-tonal sound piece by Julius Eastman, Saturday night for a small audience in the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library Auditorium. Even without this inclusion of the avant-garde, the recital, part of the Creative Associate series sponsored by the Music Dept. of the University of Buf falo, offered sonatas that are not the true but tired. Besides repeating his per formance of the Copland Sonata for Violin and Piano (1943) with pianist Yvar Mikhashoff, Hudson played Ysaye’s Sonata No. 3 (“Ballade”) for solo violin and Enesco’s Sonata No. 3 for Violin and Piano. The Ysaye was a clear demon stration of Hudson’s consider able energy and technique. Here he showed what he can do with the heroic literature; you might say he sawed his bridges behind him. With Mikhashoff he offered a colorful, fascinating perfor mance of the Enesco Sonata, which is marked “In the Pop ular Romanian folk-style.” There was close attention to tonal details. In the final movement the performers were alert, closely joined; the violin was burly, the piano percussive. Eastman introduced his work, “440” explores a limited scale mentary about an electronic device called a “frequency counter,” which, if we under stand it, is somehow plugged into the voice (Eastman’s) to reinforce the vibrations. The title refers to the number of vibrations per second which are produced by the concert pitch A. “440” was performed by East man (voice), Hudson (violin), Maureen Gallagher (viola) and James Van Demark (double bass), all of whom stray from the concert pitch in micro-tonal steps, so that the unison sonority gradually disintegrates. The re sulting frequency sag and slip gives the effect of a power brownout. The hooing and scratching is that of an elec tronic A train; this pitch is a slider. The music goes on much too long, and would be twice as effective if there were half as much. “440” explores a limited scale and discovers infinite space, but after the experience one feels tired from going nowhere. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

MR. kept chuckling throughout the next 15 minutes. A burdock, as everybody knows, is any plant of the genus Arctium. What the title “Burdocks” has to do with the music is anybody’s guess. The title is part of the genial insanity of the score. It is not for nothing that MR. Wolff has been associated for so many years with John Cage and his group.

Christian Wolff Coming Together (1972) Frederic Rzewski In “Burdocks,” the musi cians have bits of stage business, the narrator takes a few falls from his chair and the music itself goes on in little blobs of sound. It is really very simple-sounding music, not dissonant at all, even easy on the ears. It has no development and buildup as such; it just goes on, with microscopic motifs and little twiddles and twaddles. Otherwise all was serious, all was earnest on the pro gram. It opened with Karl heinz Stockhausen’s “Spiral,” Rzewski took as his text parts of a letter written in jail by Sam Melville, de scribed by the composer as “a political prisoner already known for his leadership in the Columbia protests and one of the leaders in the re bellion at Attica.” Sam Mel ville was one of the Attica fatalities. MR. Rzewski’s work is probably intended as a pro test piece. It is a series of verbal crescendos and de crescendos against an osti nato background. Once the basic pattern has been set— and it starts out for all the world like a movie music background—it repeats itself with very little change for almost 20 minutes. The nar rator operates almost like a tape loop, constantly repeat ing sentences. A few minutes of this, all right. But 20 minutes, and it ends up music to sleep by. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rzewski perhaps found in Mel ville’s reference to “the speed of the passing time” in prison the idea for composing music which is essentially an ostinato tempo. The ensemble, with the composer at the piano, includes violin, cel lo, flute, alto saxophone, trom bone, vibraphone and fender bass, which in itself is a “com ing together” of classic and jazz types. Eastman spoke the text in a monotone crescendo that was dramatic, sounding a note of optimism in a tone of despair. Yet the effect on listener, who knows that the voice was killed, is calculated. Here is a man, telling of his good health, yet with strange prescience describ ing “the inevitable direction of my life . . . there are subtle surprises ahead.” The text is served by Rzew ski’s energetic music, which chases itself in repeating fig ures; yet within the tempest the voice of the prisoner is steady. A pentatonic scale provides the melodic material, both in the propelled descending figure, and in music of quiet lyricism for violin, flute and cello. A different world is described by Ralph Jones’s “Saturday Afternoon—5 o’clock,” perform ed by five flutists (Robert Ait ken, Eberhard Blum, Petr Kotik,, Eileen O’Connor and Susan Stenger). The title, the composer says, is a personal reference; but the music is in deed program music, telling us about a time of reverie. The music is simple, non-active, slow; and it is like Rzewski’s music in its repetition of ma terial. Octaves and major seconds are breathed softly; and as simple as the intervals are the rhythms. Jones puts the mind at ease; his music is spiritual escape, not political engagement. David Gibson has composed a beautifully muted percussion score for Dennis Kahle, who per formed “182 Norwood,” which is named after a place (rather than a time) but is about the sounds of non-reverberating wood in struments, and tempo, which in the second part is treated to pleasing modulations. Gibson de signed some of the instruments, including a “wood harp” made from dowels, and another instru ment of steel pipes, used spar ingly. Kahle is a deft knocker, and his rapid-fire movements produced clear, dry tones. Erhard Grosskopf’s Sonate 3 for flute (Blum) and string trio (Benjamin Hudson, violin; Del mar Stewart, viola; David Gib son, cello), is a work of careful ly chosen sounds and careful construction, given a well-timed performance. The program in cluded Lejaren Hiller’s “Al gorithms 1,” for tape and instru ments, composed by a computer, which may explain its lack of musical engagement. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It wound up the UB Creative Associates’ Evenings for New Music series program Sunday evening in Albright-Knox Art Gallery, a thrusting contrast to some preceding works of allu sive delicacy. The 1972 piece uses a letter by Attica inmate Sam Melville, who was killed during the uprising of 1971, though just how has not been determined. It is not a political message, as such, but an affectively personal and self-reflective word to someone on the outside. Melville speaks of the curious nature of time, his new found grasp of mental equilibrium and physical well being, the nourishment he has found in books and meditation. He is saying, in effect, that he feels physically and spiritu ally prepared to live life well. It was written in the spring, and he would die a few months later, in the Attica explosion in the fall. The foreknowledge of this adds a considerable emotional dimension. But it’s a strong work in any case. The spoken phrases are repeated again and again in layered intensity, over a jazzslanted chamber group building up a high dramatic pressure, in driving syncopations along a pentatonic scale. Narrator Eastman is a musician-actor of unusual qual ity and theatrical instinct, and it was an excellent instrumen tal performance. A mixed quartet played Sonata Three of Erhard Gross kopf, a rather desultory work in a sort of delayed Hindemith style. There was an arresting texture and fleecy feel to a work for five flutes by Ralph Jones titled “Saturday Afternoon, Five O’Clock,” and I know just how he feels. A 1968 version of Lejaren Hillers Algorithms, composed entirely with computer, involv ed two tape channels and chamber septet, Jan Williams conducting. We’ve heard other versions here, a highly recondite kind of music-making with a kind of disembodied tapestry effect, as if someone had found a way to vaporize a Persian rug and leave only the design. A solo percussion piece by David Gibson was titled “182 Norwood.” Percussionist Dennis Kahle played in such wispy and hushed innuendo on bells, pots, blocks and so on, that the auditorium air-condi tioner sounded at times like a Niagara generator. A lovely piece, really, and it did rise to poetic climaxes. But the central vein was subtle, very quiet, very slight contrast in lightly touched wood and metal. Poet Reed at Brockport Special to Buffalo Evening News Brockport, April 1 — Ish mael Reed, who was raised in Buffalo and is a talented young black writer, will be among 16 poets who will read and discuss their work at the State Univer sity College at Brockport Tues day through Friday.

Earlier this year the Cleve land Quartet, resident ensemble at the University of Buffalo, went abroad with string quar tets by such as Brahms and Charles Ives. Most recently, the Creative Associates from UB’s Center of the Creative and Performing Arts spent a month in Europe, and next month, the SEM En semble of avant-gardists led by Petr Kotik embarks for the Continent. For the Creative Associates, the European tour was certainly a chance to see the world; but more Important, for Europe it was a chance to see Evenings for New Music. Perhaps a high point was Barcelona, where the CA’s played a concert as part of New Music Week, and appropriately Offered a world premiere by Spanish composer Luis de Pablo, the recent UB Slee Pro fessor. In This Spanish city, the audience went wild, according to Renee Levine, managing director of the Center. One of the secrets of success in touring is the stimulus pro vided by a new audience. Eve nings for New Music today (8 P.M. at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery) will be for the old audience, and MRS. Levine, re calling the bullish response in Barcelona, hopes that Buffalo says “ole!” The CA tour began Feb. 7 with a tape session in Paris for ORTF, the French radio, and continued in Great Britain with concerts in London, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Reviewing the London performance in the Waterloo Room of Festival Hall, William Mann of The London Times was impressed by "the greatly ex pert and stylish players,” and he was grateful to hear music by Lukas Foss (“Paradigm”), Morton Feldman (“For Frank O’Hara”), Christian Wolff, Le jaren Hiller and Julius East man. The message to Europe was musical, communicating not only the new music virtuosity of American instrumentalists, but the musical works by com posers other than our standard brands. Other Evenings for New Music were presented in Lisbon (where evidently a Portuguese restaurant now has a trans atlantic clientele); Perugia and Rome in Italy; and, in West Germany, Karlsruhe and West Berlin, where the tour ended for most of the group on March 1. However, two percussionists — Jan Williams and Dennis Kahle — continued to Poland for concerts in Warsaw and Kracow, playing works by Feld man, De Pablo, Foss and Hiller (Hiller, codirector of the UB Center with Foss, is presently in Poland as a Fulbright scholar). The CA’s have made a home in Buffalo, developing for the past 10 years their series of Evenings for New Music. There has never been any thing parochial about their music, so it is only natural that a world audience is ready to lis ten. SEM Ensemble Is chamber avant-garde, including flutist Petr Kotik, vocalist Julius Eastman, percussionist Jan Williams, electronicist Clifford Stoll, and, new this season, obo ist Nora Post. The group plays concerts Saturday (8:30 P.M.) and next Sunday (noon to 5 P.M.) at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, then departs for Eu rope, for a performance at the “Witten Days for New Chamber Music” in Witten, Germany, April 27 and 28. The seminal composer in the SEM repertory is Cage. Most important, the concert format itself is changed. When SEM plays next Sunday, for example, there will be five rotating per formances, beginning on the hour. As we read it, “The per forming area will be open con tinuously so that one could come and go at will. If someone comes in during the middle, he could wait for the next round." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

R. Sorgi Frederic Rzewski is repre sentative of the new breed of composer who wants to free mu sic from the hold of a socially elite audience. Thus it is with some delicacy that the composer, whose music will be performed on the Eve nings for New Music concert Sunday at 8 at the AlbrightKnox Art Gallery, says he is sorry his piece is being done at the Gallery, where what he calls “the common avant-garde audi ence of students, aficionados, other musicians and rich people who patronize this sort of thing” will be his listeners once again. Rzewski is a returning Crea tive Associate pianist and com poser, with the University of Buffalo’s Center of the Crea tive & Performing Arts, which puts on the Evenings for New Music series. Thus before his semester residence is finished he may find a place in Buf falo that allows him to reach a new audience. “But I’m glad my piece is being done in Buffalo,” Rzewski says, adding that this is ap propriate since the piece deals with the Attica prison tragedy, whose reverberations were closely felt here. “Coming Together” was com posed in 1971, after the Attica rebellion, and it uses for its text one of the letters written from the Attica prison by Sam Melville, a prisoner killed during the uprising. Jazz Concert Also Rzewski was attracted to the lyricism of the letter, which he said describes “the ex perience of passing time.” The music itself has no definite instrumental group, and is improvisational. (Julius East man, the voice of the prisoner, and pianist Rzewski are among the performers). Rzewski has been preparing his piece in Baird Hall, but after an interview on Wednesday he was leaving for New York for a jazz concert at Washington Square Peace Church. Recently, he has been perform ing more frequently with jazz musicians, but Rzewski explains that what some people call jazz and what others call avantgarde coexist in “an expanding area of common exploration.” His goal is to bring together a new audience for his music. “We must reflect what people need and want,” he says. Reaching New Ears “We’re trying to break out of the concert syndrome,” Rzewski explained. Help in reaching a larger audience has been pro vided by the Center for New Music in New York, which as sists musicians in making their own records. “Coming Together” for ex ample is available on Opus One records, circulated by the New Music Distribution Service. “We must make an effort to organize collectively to reach new ears,” Rzewski said. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ció porta chia ramente ad una molteplicita di atteggiamenti e di linguag gi in fórmale contrasto ed a volte antitetici in un substrato culturale per lo pió diverso nei vari contenuti espressivi.

Il « Largo » di Ives. che ha aperto il programma, non puó certamente essere definita composizione d'avanguardia, anzi taluni suoi impasti tim brici, unitamente ai frequenti guizzi lirici bistrumentali (pia noforte-violino, pianoforte-cla rinetto) fanno pensare piutto sto ad un illanguidimento dei valori tonali filtrati da un cro matico tutto esteriore.

Mrs. Levine is managing director of the UB Center of the Creative and Performing Arts and currently is accompanying the associates — a group of 13 composer-performers — on a concert circuit of seven coun tries. Two other members of the tour party, percussionists Jan Williams and Dennis Kahle, have been invited by the Polish government to give three concerts in Warsaw and elsewhere in Poland. Already on the Warsaw scene for several months is composer Lejaren Hiller, co-director of the UB-based center. He is spending the academic year as a senior Fulbright Lecturer in Poland. Prof. Hiller will go along on part of the tour. The tour group left Feb. 6 and the main party will return in time to present their tour program on March 31 in Albright-Knox Art Gallery auditorium. The itinerary includes Paris, London, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lisbon, Barcelona, Perugia, Rome, Karlsruhe and Berlin. They will make tape recordings for both the South German Radio and Rome Radio. Widely known American composer Morton Feldman, center advisor, is on the trip, along with composer perform ers Eberhard Blum, Amrom Chodos, Benjamin Hudson, Julius Eastman, David Gibson, Ralph Jones, David Sussman, and Peter Gena. Works of Lukas Foss, the other center co-director; Charles Ives, George Crumb (former UB Creative Associate and Pulitzer Prize Composer), Feldman, Christian Wolf and Hiller. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

To anyone with a preliminary knowledge of "the new music” the names of Feldman. Lukas Foss and Lejaren Hillerare well known. (To me they were a mystery until a month ago). An impressive list of credentials backs up the group of musicians touring with Feldman - Ralph Jones studied with Robert Moog (of synthesiser fame); most of the group teach or have taught their various instruments; they carry lengthy strings of initials after their names. But before we dazzle you with science let's get on to the singing whales . . . Vox Balanae (Voice of the whale) is one of the pieces which will be performed by the centre musicians. George Crumb, composer, instructs that it be played by three musicians wearing halfasks: “It was inspired by the singing of the humpback whale ... the masks, by effacing a sense of human projection, give a symbolic representation of the powerful impersonal forces of nature.” Other music in the programme includes Lejaren Hiller’s Algorithms, written entirely by computer; two pieces sharing four movements, but each movement has four alternative versions any of which may be chosen for performance. T he possible permutations, therefore heighten the difference in shape that an apparently minor change can make. Stay On It is described by a poem, also by Julius Eastman, part of which reads: "lies that move and break / disappear, and reform again, are not ties that stay on it. T hey are sometimy bonds. These bonds cause screens like the Edge of Night, with Ivory snow liquid to appear." Morton Feldman's For Frank O'Hara was composed last year and. like all his music sustains a "flat surface" with a minimum of contrast. O'Hara was poet laureate of the New York art scene in the '50s. He died after a beach taxi accident on Fire Island in 1966. Feldman’s co-artistic director from the Centre for the Creative and Performing Arts. Lukas Foss has a contribution to the programme called Paradigm (“for my friends”). It has five musicians, all have notes to play and words to speak, whisper or shout. Words are treated like notes. 1 he words are assembled in a grid which allows random selection and also a lecture which Nuspeak found irresistible: To take refuge in the past is to play safe. Avoidance of truth. To burn the past is to play safe. Avoidance of knowledge. Safeness lurks wherever we turn. Improvisation that works is improvisation made safe: one plays what one can play, that is. what one knows, and one observes rules, insurances against disorder, traffic controls. Chance music is safe music if we accept any result as nature having its way. To control the result is also to play safe: freedom, choice handed to the performer because it doesn't matter what he does: the given entities control the music, neutralising the performer’s personal additions. Electronic music is safe: escape from the most dangerous element in music: performance. Shock in music is always effective, hence safe. Program notes in pseudo scientific jargon are safe: language used to conceal rather than reveal. Silence is safe, even virtuous. Show me dangerous music.” Foss says the Centre for Creative and Performing arts was “born out of the conviction that the young professional musician needs musical guidance and financial help at the critical moment when he is just out of school, lest he lose himself in a commercial situation.” 1 he Centre, based at the University of New York at Buffalo, has gained an International reputation as a major force in modern music and both Hiller and Foss received awards last year from the American Society of Composers. Authors and Publishers which is the official "trade association" and collects copyright fees on recordings. I he musicians from the Centre will be performing at the Haldane Building. Hill Street on February 16.

George Crumb Benjamin Hudson, Eberhard Blum, Amrom Chodos, Julius Eastman Composed during the spring of 1966 for the Aeolian Chamber Players, the eleven pieces are performed without interruption. "Although Eleven Echoes has certain programmatic implications for the composer, it is enough for the listener to infer the significance of the motto-quote from Federico Garcia Lorca: '... y los arcos rotos donde sufre el tiempo’ (’... and the broken arches where time suffers’). These words are softly intoned as a preface to each of the three cadenzas (echi 5-7) and the image ’broken arches’ is represented visually in the notation of the music which underlies the cadenzas.’ — George Crumb Algorithms 2, Version 1) Algorithms 1 , Version 1) Lejaren Hiller Algorithms 2, Version 2) Eberhard Blum, Benjamin Hudson, Amrom Chodos, David Sussman, Julius Eastman, Dennis Kahle, David Gibson Part of a cycle of three compositions composed entirely with a computer.

Lukas Foss Amrom Chodos, Benjamin Hudson, David Gibson, David Sussman, Jan Williams, pereussionist/conductor, Ralph Jones, electronics All five musicians have notes to play and words to speak, whisper, or shout. Words are handled like notes. 1 - Session. Each player has three tasks and proceeds from one to the other, sometimes at random, sometimes on cue - a syllable from: "Someone will be held responsible". 2 -Reading. Each player has moments of word choice. A poem should result from the 8X8 available word juxtapositions. 3-Recital. An instrumental interlude. Every sound is cued by the percussionist whose flexaton serves as a baton. 4 -Lecture. Imitation techniques of all kinds. The words are taken from a recent lecture.

Morton Feldman Eberhard Blum, Amrom Chodos, Julius Eastman, David Gibson, Benjamin Hudson, Dennis Kahle, Jan Williams "My primary concern (as in all my music) is to sustain a ’flat surface’ with a minimum of contrast. Frank O’Hara was the ’Poet Laureate’ of the New York Art World during the 1950's.

Com'on now baby, stay on it. Change this thread on which we move from invisible to hardly tangible. With you movin and groovin on it, making me feel fine as wine, I don't have to find the Meaning, because you will have filled in his most invisible and intangible Majesty's place; But only if you stay on it. You Dig Although his majesty does stay with it, he can't stay on it. (Does that move you?) Ties that move and break, disappear, and return again, are not ties that stay onit. They are sometimy bonds. These bonds cause screens like the Edge of Night, with Ivory snow liquid to appear. This is why baby cakes, I'm ringing you up in order to relay this song message so that you can get the feel in O sweet boy Because without the moving and the groovin, the carin and the sharin, the reelin and the feel in, I mean really. - J.E. Julius Eastman, born in 1940 in New York, holds a diploma from the Curtis Institute of Music. He is a member of the faculty of the State University of New York at Buffalo Music Department. As a performer, Mr. Eastman has received great acclaim for his performance as George 3rd in Peter Maxwell Davies "Eight Songs for a Mad King".

It was quite a jolly trip down memory lane to sit once again in the same cupboard, now grandly entitled Waterloo Room, last night when Park Lane Group brought the Centre of the Creative and Performing Arts in the State University of New York at Buffalo to give one of its famous Evenings for New Music in our own metropolis across the pond. The sightlines are no more gratifying, the chairs seem almost more uncom fortable, but the acoustics for a time sounded less claustropho bic, with a small instrumental group playing clean new music, than in the days of blanket pianos and bathtowel chamber orchestras. Our transatlantic visitors from Buffalo can muster an ensemble of greatly expert and stylish players, as subtly balanced in corporate whispers as in their earsplitting massed fortissimi. They brought American music (a nutritious food-parcel for us who hardly hear any USA com poser younger than Bernstein) but not all from Buffalo. The most enjoyable piece, fun with thought-provoking undertones, was Paradigm by Lukas Foss who does work there. It is quite wild, uses words for random semantic as well as purely per cussive purposes, and com municates in at least three of its four movements at a vital level. I would buy a record of it for the infectious pulse of Session and the prismatic allure of Read ing, though the punch-line of the final Lecture, “Show me dan gerous music" is, predictably, not fulfilled in Foss’s noisy, slightly pompous musical game. There was a Jong, charac teristic, gently coloured piece by Morton Feldman, “For Frank O’Hara”, best heard perhaps in private on stereo headphones, but most delicately played here. Christian Wolff’s Burdocks, already known here, was given a sensitive, shapely performance by bass-flute, violin, cello and percussion. Lejaren Hiller’s Algorhythms 1, computer-com piled, displayed less than usual of this composer’s searching imagination. I liked the metrical construction of Julius Eastman’s Stay on it but the relentless squeaks and clatters induced a headache that made me long for the lulling tranquillity of the Sweet’s “Teenage Rampage”. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Spectrum A European tour The University's Center of the Creative and Performing Arts will celebrate its tenth anniversary with a European tour to begin February 6, including stops at major cities in France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Poland. The group will return to Buffalo in March, when they will perform an "Evenings for New Music at the Albright-Knox Museum on the 31st. The Center's Creative Associates have been under the guidance of such noted musicians as the composer Lukas Foss, former conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra; Lejaren Hiller, a pioneer in computer music; and State University of Buffalo professor, Morton Feldman, another well-known composer who will accompany the group on tour. Renee Levine, the Center's managing director, has been invited to Poland to negotiate the possibility of bringing the group back to that country next year to perform in an arts festival. The Center is one of Buffalo's most renowned cultural groups, and already has an international reputation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Is it a collection of brash esoteric noise that makes one long for the days of Beethoven and Schubert? Does it signify the end of the creative realm of art music, or does it represent the search for the deeper meaning of its own aesthetic by those who compose it? Well, in the concert per formed by members of Center of the Creative and Performing Arts, one could find music that could fit each of the above categories—the vulgar and the ludicrous with the beautiful and the profound. The first work, Algorithms I by Lejaren Hiller, was, as the title implies, motivated through the use of the computer. In com posing it, MR. Hiller used techniques that anyone who hasn’t had Math 6 would find hard to understand. What results is a highly organized work with an esoteric structure and elaborate, almost ostentatious writing for the eight musicians who perform it, but Algorithms I remains a work without a soul. The musicians on stage gave an interpretation reflective of their intimacy with the work but they could not imbue the mechanical nature with life. The next work, Burdocks by Prof. Christian Wolff, had more vital spirit behind it. The music, although similar to Algorithms I in its abstractness and almost unfathomable meaning still breathed, a happy property that the four Buffalo musicians were quick to seize and bring to the audience. Flautist Eberhard Blum deserves special notice not only for his superb playing but also for his interpretative antics. A work with the impressive name Paradigm was written by Lukas Foss and followed next in the program. This four movement work was played by all but two of the ensemble and seemed to be loaded with the gimmicks that one finds in the best of Luciano Berio’s music jazzed up at times with Bern steinian rhythms and served up at times with an ear-shattering gusto that reminds one of a typical Dartmouth dormitory during a Big Weekend. The quieter parts were interesting enough, but this reviewer got the feeling that he has heard them someplace else. In any case, this example of “Modern Music for the Masses” was extremely well- by the small audience in liked Spaulding and the pursuant in termission found many eager to hear what would follow. What followed was probably the best work of the program, a poignant tribute by Morton Feldman entitled For Frank O’Hara. Although it was MR. Feldman’s purpose to “sustain a “flat surface” in his music, one could feel depth in the work, something penetrating and sometimes beautiful in every combination of sounds. The last work of the concert was performed by all members of the ensemble save for the flautist. Stay on It was its name and it was written by the only black member of the group Julius Eastman and is a sort of “Phillip Glass with soul” with a certain constant rhythm and theme that held its various jangly episodes together. In the concert of music from Buffalo played by musicians of Buffalo, one could see many of the myriad directions in which contemporary music is going. I left Spaulding, confident that Buffalo will be known for more than just grain mills and a hockey team. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Intermission Morton Feldman (B.1926) For Frank O’Hara Eberhard Blum, Benjamin Hudson, Dennis Kahle, Jan Williams, Amrom Chodos Julius Eastman David Gibson For Frank O’Hara was composed especially for the tenth anniversary of the Creative Associates. My primary concern (as in all my music) is to sustain a “flat surface” with a minimum of contrast. Frank O’Hara was the “Poet Laureate” of the New York art world during the 1950’s. He was gravely wounded (at forty) by a beach taxi on Fire Island on July 24, 1966, and died the following day. M.F. Stay On It (1973) Julius Eastman (B. 1940) Eberhard Blum, Dennis Kahle, Amrom Chodos, Julius Eastman, Jan Williams David Sussman Benjamin Hudson Com’on now baby, stay on it. Change this thread on which we move from invisible to hardly tangible. With you movin and groovin on it, making me feel fine as wine, I don’t have to find the meaning, because you will have filled in his most invisible and intangible Majesty’s place; But only if you stay on it. You Dig Although his majesty does stay with it, he can’t stay on it. (Does that move you?) Ties that move and break, disappear, and return again, are not ties that stay on it. They are sometimy bonds. These bonds cause screens like the Edge of Night, with Ivory snow liquid to appear. This is why baby cakes, I’m ringing you up in order to relay this song message so that you can get the feelin O sweet boy Because without the moving and the groovin, the carin and the sharin, the reelin and the feelin, I mean really. -J.E.

Bruno Maderna’s "Honey reves” is tonally resourceful music for flute and piano, and it provides a range of expres sion for the performers in its delicacy and strength. Eberhard Blum, the flutist who actually stalks the music he is reading, played with command, whether the tone was lackluster or bright as his golden flute. Ivar Mikhashoff was the plucky pianist, who found inside the piano colorful tones, not out of chance. The two performers worked together smartly in Ma derna’s intelligent world. “Hon eyreves” was played in memory of the Italian composer who died last month. Liberated A more liberated virtuosity is apparent in Luis De Pablo’s “Masque,” which the University of Buffalo Slee composer wrote this year. There is a theatrical version, but even this concert version is activated, since the percussionist is responsible for "generating the reactions of the ensemble.” Performers were Blum, clar inetist Amrom Chodos, percus sionist Dennis Kahle, and pian ist Thorkell Sigurbjornsson. Kahle played first skin instru ments, then metal, finally wood; in a brief interlude between metal and wood the four per formers played on slide whistles. De Pablo chooses to drama tize the stimulating nature of sound, and it is effective when flutist Blum is threatened by Kahle’s manner of scraping wooden percussion sounds in his direction. De Pablo came up on stage to thank the performers; he seemed pleased as punch. Virtuosity Nowhere Virtuosity is nowhere about in Morton Feldman's new work, "For Frank O'Hara,” composed this year for the 10th anniver sary of the Creative Associates. "My primary concern (as in all my music)," the composer writes, “is to sustain a ‘flat sur face’ with a minimum of con trast.” Fiat is a way of describ ing the blending of tone colors, in which unisons erase differ ences (low clarinet and timpani, for example). This is not “hard” music (in fact, it is soft); one does not so much practice it as think about it. Tones are sustained (long, soft cello; or wavering flute tri tone, a slow devil). “For Frank O'Hara" is delicate, harmonic, adrift; melodies for flute and cello rise slowly in the harmonic progression, simple and scalar. A startling roll on the snare drum was Feldman's most ac tive thought. The composer stood and applauded the per formers, who conducted them selves (they kept the pulse alive as in a relay race, handing it on when there was music to be played; some race). Getting With It Julius Eastman’s shunning of virtuosity is more a matter of getting with it. His work for jazz singer (Georgia Mitoff) and mixed ensemble (clarinet, vio lin, piano, percussion and saxo phones) is called “Stay On It,” which is the vocal refrain and performance instruction to the musicians, who in the course of play keep falling off it, it being a short riff which is repeated and repeated. These cats whine, but whenever they break out some performer puts the mind less refrain back on the track. As the music develops the per formers indulge their simple dis obedience. Thorkell Sigurbjornsson’s "Hasselby” Quartet has sec tions of lyric and rhythmic strength. The string quartet was comprised of Benamin Hudson, Carol Zeavin, Delmar Stewart and David Gibson. Not much of the contemporary string quartet literature is explored on these programs, so this was a refresh ing encounter with the tradi tional form. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Lately we have been having a glorification of monotony, as a visitor to Wednesday’s Evenings for New Music concert at Car negie Recital Hall can testify. The monotony came in several varieties and the first performance of Morton Feld man’s “For Frank O’Hara” (1973), another of his ex tended essays in attenuated sound, demonstrated the quiet type. The seven play ers took turns conducting, which afforded mild visual stimulation, and the blending of long-held tones was car ried on with much sensitivity by instrumentalists from the Center of the Creative and Performing Arts of the State University of New York at Buffalo. Monotony in a loud variety came in Julius Eastman’s “Stay On It” (1973). While MR. Eastman, at the piano, chanted his own metapoetry in a piercing falsetto, six other instruments, amplified, hammered out an eight-note motive that occasionally shifted perspective because of overlaid patterns and phase-shifts. • Nor was the over-all effect of Luis de Pablo’s “Masque” (1973) really much more ex citing. True, he did offer a comic touch or two, such as a quartet of pennywhistles for which the players stood and took their spotlight break like the trombonists in Glenn Miller’s band. The piece dealt much in dabs of tone, glis sando and microtone effects, graphic notation and im provisatory games led by the percussionist. Thorkell Sigurbjornnson’s “Hasselby” Quartet (1968) took desultory steps in a Bartokian direction at times, but was leaden of foot and grayly monotonous in its ideas and their development. Kazuo Fukushima’s “ShunSan” (1969) was a flute solo that yoked Japanese medita tive music to technical de vices of early Varese. There were a few violent outbreaks, deftly negotiated by Eber hard Blum, but on the whole the work, like the program it inhabited, fulfilled what MR. Feldman in a program note called his own primary con cern: “To sustain a flat sur face.” Donal Henahan � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Sculpture Court of Albright-Knox Art Gallery made a fine setting for the Saturday program on the State University of Buffalo Creative Associates’ “Evenings for New Music” series, before a goodly crowd. * * Composer Henze, using well-worked materials but with an acute theatrical sense, has scored it for solo actor-bari tone, flutist (Eberhard Blum) and guitar (Stuart Fox) with elaborate percussion (Dennis Kahle.) The eloquently moving story and Mr. Eastman’s unusual gift for putting heart, soul and sing ing art into his portrayal are the main things. The music, it seems to me, relies a great deal on device and may not stand well on its own. The score is vivid, certainly, and more than melodramatic, with police whistles, simulated crowd noises, fragments of folk and inspirational themes and the tonal equivalent of emotional color. It calls for a busy and chal lenging instrumental perform ance, admirably done here, within a lighting script of flashes and mood settings, the singer moving in terrified flight or melancholy solitude amid the gallery statuary. MR. Eastman has made his international mark via recordings and New York reci tal with his solo tour de force in the Maxwell Davies “Mad King.” This will make an effective sequel, though the Henze musi cal concept probes nowhere so deeply as Maxwell Davies’ remarkable heartache of a score expressing the afflictions of England’s George 3. Staging was by Beverly Wideman of the UB theater department, English version by Christopher Keene, lighting by Paul Brown, adapted text of Paul Barnet by Hans Enzensberger. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The earlier revolt as seen from the perspective of a slave is the subject of Hans Werner Henze’s “El Cimarron,” per formed by baritone Julius East man and three instrumentalists Saturday night at the AlbrightKnox Art Gallery. First by Henze It was the first appearance of music by Henze on “Even ings for New Music,” the series by the University of Buffalo’s Center of the Creative and Per forming Arts. The didacticism of "El Cimarron” is a deterrent to dramatic interest. As a political piece, it compares with Henze’s “Das Floss der Medusa” which the composer dedicated to Che Guevara in 1968 and which was not performed in Hamburg af ter students put up a red flag and police intervened, causing Henze to refuse to conduct. That same year Henze an nounced his political stand, which is reflected in “El Cimarron”: “Unnecessary are new museums, opera houses, and world premieres. Neces sary, to set about making dreams come true. Necessary, to abolish the dominion of men over men. Necessary, to change mankind, which is to say, Neces sary, the creation of mankind’s greatest work of art: the World Revolution.” Literary Work “El Cimarron” is essentially a literary work, a “recital for four players” using a text bas ed on the memoirs of the for mer Cuban slave Esteban Mon tejo (these were taken down with a tape recorder by Miguel Barnet, who discovered the 104year-old former slave in Cuba, and published as “The Auto biography of a Runaway, Slave”). Heard in the gallery Sculp ture Court the text was not uniformly clear. Eastman had to contend with impossibly live acoustics, although some of the narrative came across beauti fully when he sang, when the vocal projection was less rich. Spoken narrative, of which there is a lot, was clearer but less colorful, too. “El Cimarron” has the poten tial for exciting theater, but Henze compresses the drama to fit the concert format. Light ing effects by Paul Brown did not significantly enlarge the sense of theater, and staging by Beverly Wideman was sporadic (and when it was best one felt the essence of charac terization came from Eastman himself, for he gave the pre miere in this country in Pitts burgh). Superbly Agile Eastman is superbly agile in extending his vocal range, most uncanny when suddenly insert ing a falsetto tone in such a phrase as “They cap-” (stratos pheric emphasis) “-tured me.” Stuart -Fox was the guitarist in music of clearly articulated lines, and Eberhard Blum played a series of flutes — including piccolo, bass flute, wood flute and double-pipe or gan — to convey a variety of moods from modern to primi tive. These two performers also oc casionally played percussion instruments with Dennis Kahle. Percussion music animated the rise and fall -of tension, especially in the battle when Eastman danced a series of leaps. Beating with Chains In a section describing the slave’s flight Eastman ran about the Sculpture Court, while Kahle suggested the hunting overseer as he moved among his percussion collection. East man protested the state of slav ery by beating with chains, in toning “I smashed his bloody face.” The opening music creates a haunted atmosphere with bowed guitar and bowed metal objects, music which is repeated at the end when Eastman is the old Esteban telling his present thoughts, not wanting to die. Henze uses dance rhythms sparingly, ironically (“If a Ne gro child caught the master’s eye . . .”), and he parodies religious music for guitar and flute in a section reviling the clergy. In the forest, the wooden flute plays the primitive spirit in slow glissando; the flute moans the sound of slav ery with bent pitches. The music is motivated by the story; Henze’s piece is an environment of clever sound ef fects, often mournful, often disturbing. Unfortunately the work is not engrossing, at least when heard under conditions which disturb the continuity of narrative. —Thomas Putnam � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
