Concertante
Access:

Recording of Samuel Headrick's Concertante for Violoncello and Magnetic Tape.

The title describes the concert-piece in which both instruments are used in virtuosic solo capacities. It was inspired by Brahms's Symphony Number One, First Movement and Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Ulysses."

Lettres à M.
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Elżbieta Sikora's "Lettres à M" ("Letters to Mr."), for tape. The composition was a commission from the studios of the Polish Experimental Radio in June 1980. These "letters" were not written for Mr., as Mr. does not represent any person, and any association to any particular person is purely accidental. However, these letters have had to be materialized because of the composer's need to give form to an unexamined idea. Therefore, Mr., whoever you are, Sikora awaits your answer to these letters.

Estallido Breve
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ricardo Mandolini's Estallido Breve. The piece tries to develop in a progressive yet minimalistic way the repetition of a percussion sound, of which the tiniest variations are in the first few milliseconds of the attack. This attack always follows a long extinction, which is also affected by minute changes. The addition of a second kind of sound material, a perpetual crescendo/accelerando, contributes to the accentuation of the dramatic character of this ostinato. The ostinato ends in an explosive short resolution, which explains the title chosen for this piece. The piece was composed in 1980 at the Institute for Systematic Musicology in Ghent, Belgium. It is stereophonic. The piece also existed as a mixed version (Estallido Breve II) for electroacoustic tape and bass clarinet.

The piece is based on military orders in different languages, as well as the sounds emitted by human groups (soldiers), which constitute the answer itself or accompany the answer that is required. The composer processes the sounds of the orders to deepen the grotesque and lugubrious character that these orders contain.

The harvest of sorrow and loneliness
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Robin Julian Heifetz's The harvest of sorrow and loneliness. This work is elegiac in character and is best summed up in the following poetic passage from Thoms Wolfe's "From Death to Morning": "There has been... loneliness enough... to crust (my) lips with its hard and acrid texte of desolation... (For I had) heard the... music... crying and singing a strange and bitter prophecy of love and death... (and I had seen) my brother... die in the dark in the dark mid-watches of the night, and I (had) know... the figure of... Death when he had come..." The piece was realized during a period of the composer's depression and proved to be a cathartic experience for him.

Play bach
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Mayako Kubo's Play bach for eight channel tape. Play Bach is mainly based on two elements: first, there is no fixed form and no fixed duration because the composition consists in a mobile-system; second, the sound material uses only the tones B (Si-flat), A (La), C (Do), and H (Si) in different octaves performed by three instruments and with the letters B, A, C, and H spoken with human voice. Because the eight tracks are combined using a mobile system, each performance presents different combinations and thus a different performance each time.

Recording of Mark Schubert's Merchants. This piece is a progression from single isolated events to total unification of all sounds. The method of doing so involved simple mixings of the different sounds (first individually presented), extending the events with loops, rapidly splicing different timbres together, and finally using tape echo, blending all the sounds into a climactic ending.

Recording of Arsène Souffriau's Fusar 3 for four mixed voices, four percussionist and two synthesizers. This piece is aleatoric music and is a collective improvisation by the performers. This recording of the collective improvisation took place on Thursday, September 1979 at around midnight. The interpreters were Viollette Beaujeant, Madeleine Fabrice, André Van Belle, and Arsène Souffriau. During the recording, each performer spoke, sang and manipulated various percussion instruments. Then, a selection was made and various sequences retained by Souffriau were reworked electro-acoustically. He then manipulated these sequences in order to create the stereophonic version presented here.
