This concert is patronated by

It is a great pleasure to have the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir in Brussels to take part
in the Klarafestival. The Orchestra dates back to 1932 and has long had an international outlook
in terms of its musicians and where it has played. More recently, it was the orchestra selected to
record the world’s national anthems for the London 2012 Olympics and also performed as part
of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the River Thames in 2012.
The first appearance of the London Philharmonic Choir with the London Philharmonic Orchestra
was at the Royal Albert Hall on 15 May 1947 when they performed the Beethoven Ninth.
I am looking forward with anticipation to their performance together at BOZAR on 11 March.

Suffering and redemption on the Cross
“Stabat Mater dolorosa, iuxta crucem lacrimosa,
dum pendebat Filiu”. In English: “The sorrowful mother
stood tearfully by the cross as her son hung there.” The
Latin text of the Stabat Mater evokes the suffering of Mary
at the foot of the Cross. It is a representation of the greatest
suffering imaginable: a mother who sees her child suffer
and finally witnesses his death. The Stabat Mater appeals
to a deeply human capacity for compassion, even beyond
its specific meaning in a Christian context.
This concert will also show Gubaidulina’s sober
arrangement of the last seven words uttered by Christ on
the Cross, one of two at Klarafestival. Again we hear the
story of Jesus’ death and again his words conjure up human
emotions that are at once recognisable and tragic. “My God,
why have you forsaken me?” These words may very well
be the purest embodiment of the loneliness of existence,
of floating through life, abandoned in the emptiness like a
particle in space, without any footing or allegiance, trapped
in what Sofia Gubaidulina refers to as the ‘staccato of life’.
Sofia Gubaidulina
Sieben Worte (1982)
Boisterous tripe instead of veritable musical innovation is how the Soviet regime described the music of Sofia
Gubaidulina in 1979. The communist state deemed the Russian
composer’s creations ‘irresponsible’. Put differently, the innovative merit of Gubaidulina’s music did not fit the regime’s
ideology. Yet Gubaidulina persevered, especially after her
introduction to Dmitri Shostakovich in 1959. He encouraged
her to do what she does well and continue along ‘her mistaken
path’, making it accessible.
Sofia Gubaidulina is one of the most important
composers of our time. Her compositions mix philosophical,
spiritual, religious and poetic ideas which give the music a
mystic power. Gubaidulina’s style is unique and difficult to
shoehorn into the usual categories. She draws inspiration
from the polyphonic stratification of Josquin des Prez, the
dodecaphony of the Second Viennese School and Wagnerian
drama. At the same time, she also absorbs Russian and Asian
folk music. However, Gubaidulina’s greatest source of inspiration is spirituality. Without the power of her beliefs she would
never have found her way to composing: “There is no more
serious reason for composing music than spiritual renewal”.
Gubaidulina’s musical language was strongly influenced by her third husband, musicologist and conductor Pyotr
Meshchaninov. He made her realise that the 12 tones in an
octave are insufficient on which to build a story. According
to her husband, an octave is comprised of 72 units and
Gubaidulina uses this in her creative process. Two successive
tones (microtones) are so close to each other that they simultaneously sound the same and different. For the rhythm she
often uses the Fibonacci sequence in which every number is
the sum of the two previous ones. This explains the rhythmic
complexity and the absence of a steady pulse in Gubaidulina’s
work. The result is an abstract musical language, yet one that
can be understood on an intuitive level.
Sieben Worte
Religion is the starting point of the Sieben Worte for
cello, bayan (a Russian button accordion) and strings from
1982. The title refers to the final words that Jesus spoke from
the Cross. Gubaidulina states that she carries the life and story
of Christ in her heart. She says that it may very well be the
most important thing in her life and the Sieben Worte play a
very big part in that.
This work is all about the Cross, for Gubaidulina a
symbol of opposing forces: past versus present and human
versus superhuman. In the composition this becomes cello
versus bayan. The two solo instruments challenge each other
as well as complement each other. Also in their interaction
with the strings, the soloists are somewhat at odds with a
glissando of the strings cutting through long, persistent cello
notes. The same kind of effect is achieved with the bayan by
playing neighbouring buttons.
The four Gospels refer to a total of seven sentences
Jesus supposedly uttered before his death. These serve to
structure Gubaidulina’s Sieben Worte. One sentence is attributed to each part. In the first part, Vater, vergib ihnen, denn
sie wissen nicht, was sie tun, the sounds of the cello and the
bayan are indistinguishable. The instruments melt together
into one timbre. Strings imitate the experiment of the soloists
and assume a thin melodic form. This image continues into the
second part. Together, the cello and the bayan continue to look
for the ultimate, sometimes with strong outbursts. The middle
part, Mein Gott, mein Gott, warum hast du mich verlassen? is
the centre of the composition. The contrast between soloists
and strings gradually dissipates with both groups exchanging
thematic material and providing a rich sonority. Like one great
lamentation (‘why have you abandoned me?’), all instruments
seek comfort with each other. Silence functions as spiritual
contemplation. The process of imitation and integration is
further developed in the three following parts. In Mich dürstet
the two soloists play a fragment from the Sieben Letzte Worte
by Schütz. The accordion gets entangled in its own game, as
it were, and the cello literally goes beyond the instrument’s
limits by playing on the other side of the bridge over which
the strings are suspended. In the seventh part, the process of
exchange and transformation is completed. The solo instruments have reached a new world and are trying to find their
place in it: Vater, ich befehle meinen Geist in deine Hande.

Alexander Zemlinsky
Psalm XXIII, op. 14 (1910)
Alexander Zemlinsky started his music career
with strong credentials. His first chamber music, which he
composed at the age of 22, was recommended to the coveted
publisher Simrock by Brahms. In the years that followed,
Zemlinsky conducted the amateur orchestra Polyhymnia
where he became acquainted with Arnold Schönberg, in the
role of cellist. The meeting led to a life-long friendship and a
mutual source of inspiration. Still, Zemlinsky missed the qualities to set himself apart in Vienna, city of stars. Overshadowed
by personalities greater than himself, Zemlinsky produced a
modest but very solid oeuvre.
The three psalm adaptations are the only sacral
music Zemlinsky ever wrote. Psalm 23, from 1910, is a musical
impression of the psalm in which God is compared to a shepherd: just like a shepherd stands guard over his sheep, God
protects every individual on earth. This God ‘allows everybody to rest in great meadows, leads them to fresh water and
makes whole every fearful soul’.
The music emanates a sense of contentment and has
a pastoral character: a solo for oboe depicts the idyllic landscape, a powerful horn section evokes the atmosphere of the
hunt and of excitement, and exotic instruments (percussion,
celesta, glockenspiel and two harps) refer to nature as well.
For the melodies, Zemlinsky drew from memories of
his youth: as the son of a Jew, the composer spent much time
in the synagogue where he learned how to play the organ
and was introduced to Jewish chanting. Zemlinsky was also
susceptible to contemporary influences: the hand of Brahms
is clearly recognisable in the choral parts.
Karol Szymanowski
Stabat Mater (1925-1926)
During the First World War, Karol Szymanowski
retreated to his family’s estate in Tymoszowka, nowadays
Ukraine. There, he composed a great deal of chamber music,
his Third Symphony and his First Violin Concerto. The atmosphere of these compositions is imbued with a Wagnerian,
late-romantic idiom with modern French timbres along the
lines of Ravel and Debussy. The October revolution of 1917
ended the composer’s quiet and isolated life. The crisis
aroused fundamental questions in him: what was his social
role as a composer? What did his music need to sound like
in a new political climate? After all, Poland had now become
independent. The national pride had been found again, a
turnabout that also showed in Szymanowksi’s music. The
composer decided to study the musical heritage of his country.
In 1992, he travelled into the Tatra mountain range where he
went looking for folk idioms of the Góral or highland music.
Szymanowksi’s late-romantic style made way for Polish folk
music. It was during this search for authenticity he composed
Stabat Mater.
The first ideas for the Stabat Mater took shape in 1924
when Szymanowksi received a large sum of money from the
patron of music Winnaretta Singer, better known as Princess
Edmond de Polignac. She commissioned a work for choir,
soloists and orchestra along the lines of ‘a Polish requiem’.
However, the contact between Szymanowksi and the Princess
waned as a result of which the plans were never carried out.
The idea resurfaced a year later when an industrialist from
Warsaw, Bronisław Krystall, commissioned a work in honour of
his deceased wife. During that same time, Szymanowksi went
through a difficult period himself. His niece Ala had died in
an accident. Szymanowksi was comforting and supporting his
sister hence the choice for a Stabat Mater with the theme of
a grieving mother in the commission for the entrepreneur. To
make the work even more personal and direct, the composer
used a Polish translation of the medieval poem.
In six small movements, emotions of mourning and
hope take turns. As an antidote for the pain, the orchestra
opens in the first part with restrained and soft melodies. The
timbre is rather dark, orchestra and choir form a safety net for
the grieving mother. The baritone in Quis est homo qui non
fleret calls for compassion – who is not moved by the image of
a mother whose soul is torn? The calm returns in Eia mater fons
amoris. This is where the contralto starts a moaning dialogue
with the clarinet. The soprano and the women’s choir support
her with the words Matko, Matko (Mother, Mother). The atmosphere changes, the part is given a dark, ominous undertone.
The low bass registers allow you to partake in the pain of the
loss. The sacral dimension of the Stabat Mater is clearest in
the fourth part. The homophony in this passage refers to the
church songs that were a great inspiration for the composer.
The fifth part, Virgo virginum praeclara, opens with a vigorous
baritone, accompanied by choir and orchestra, and leads to a
second climax. As the mediator between the worldly and the
otherworldly, the baritone asks not to burn in purgatory. The
human voice humbly asks for a heavenly life after death. The
floating melody – which, according to Szymanowksi himself,
is the most beautiful one he ever composed – dissolves in a
great major chord. Heaven is attained.
