Extractions: An interview with Gavin Bryars PARIS - On the Paris stop of a European junket for the launch of a new compact disc, British Composer Gavin Bryars talked to Klassiknet about his "post-minimalist" music ( Cello Concerto: Farewell to Philosophy; One Last Bar, Then Joe can Sing; By the Vaar ). Strongly attracted to percussion instruments, the 53-year-old contemporary of Cornelius Cardew and rocker Brian Eno swapped the violins in an orchestra for a marimba and sound bells. klassik net : Point Music is the new music label of Philips Classics, which commissioned you to write the cello concerto for Julian Lloyd Webber. Did the record company give you any directives about the concerto's composition? Bryars : No, they didn't tell me what key to write it in. They indicated a duration of around 25 - 30 minutes. In the end I came out with 35, which wasn't a problem. Philips did stipulate that Julian and I had to iron out our relationship. I had to could come up with something we would both be happy with. klassik net : Couldn't this be restrictive though, a commission from a recording company whose objective is essentially to sell records?
Extractions: Gavin Bryars' musical clarity apparently has its source in confusion. Early works like The Sinking of the Titanic (1969) were meshes of found sounds and notated segments. When composing more traditional arrangements, he writes for specific musicians, not just specific instruments, so his scores persistently smudge the line between where his transcribed intentions end and a performer's voice begins. And asked from professorial advice, he might reply with a handy paradox. For example, what would the composer, whose touring ensemble includes a keyboard-synthesizer player and an electric guitarist, suggest to a student writing for a mix of acoustic (or "non-amplified") and electric instruments? "I would recommend that the student see what are the acoustic properties of the amplified instruments," says Bryars, who teaches music at De Montfort University in Scraptoft, England. "I remember once, when I started writing for the alto saxophone, a saxophonist told me to think of it as being like a cross between an oboe and a viola, but louder. That tends to make you think of different instruments as already being hybrids. so there are all sorts of ways of blending." To write best for a specific instrument is to understand that it is, in fact, many instruments at once. If his answer has a tidy Zen contradiction at its heart, his music is similarly marked by a monastic intent: stillness, meditaion and the conservatively planted epiphany are all hallmarks of his compositions. Bryars had a surprise hit last year when his most overtly non-secular title;
Decca Music Group - Composers (1943 ), Yorkshire, England. Biography. http://www.deccaclassics.com/music/composers/bryars.html
Extractions: Gavin Bryars is one of Britain's leading composers. He was born in Yorkshire in 1943. He first acquired a reputation in the music world as a jazz bassist working in the mid-sixties with improvisers Derek Bailey and Tony Oxley. He also worked closely with composers such as Cornelius Cardew, as well as founding the Portsmouth Sinfonia, which acquired a cult status for its performances and recordings of the classical repertoire with minimal music skills. The first recording Gavin Bryars made on the Point Music label was released in 1993. This was a new version of the 1970's cult work, Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet, which was a world-wide hit. (Originally, Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet was released on Brian Eno's Obscure Label, alongside The Sinking Of The Titanic (1969), which was his first major work as a composer.) A brand-new version of The Sinking Of The Titanic was released on Point Music in autumn 1994. Releases planned on Pont Muisc for 1996 include an album with his Cello Concerto, featuring cellist Julian Lloyd Webber. Recording for labels other than Point include the albums Three Viennese Dancers, After The Requiem, The Black River, and Vita Nova, featuring the Hilliard Ensemble. In 1995 his String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2 were released, performed by the Balanescu Quartet.

Extractions: Yorkshire-born Gavin Bryars is one of England's most distinctive and likeable composers, whose music ranges from the conventional to the quirky, but is always accessible - and often deeply haunting. For example, his most famous work is 'Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet', a bizarre and haunting work based on a tape loop of a tramp singing one verse of that hymn, repeated hundreds of times, with a string quartet gradually faded in. His earlier work 'Sinking of the Titanic', inspired by the submersed sounds of the band which reputedly played as the ship went down, was another hit which appealed to the 'modern classical/pop' crossover audience. It would be wrong to think of Bryars as a gimmick merchant though: his moving 'Cadman Requiem', for a colleague who was killed in the Lockerbie bombing, combines medieval texts and instruments with modern sensibilities. Gavin Bryars was born in Goole, Yorkshire. His first musical reputation was as a jazz bassist working in the early sixties with improvisers Derek Bailey and Tony Oxley. He abandoned improvisation in 1966 and worked for a time in the USA with John Cage. From 1969-78 he taught in departments of Fine Art in Portsmouth and Leicester, and during the time that he taught at Portsmouth College of Art he was instrumental in founding the legendary Portsmouth Sinfonia.
Gavin Bryars 16Feb3 gavin bryars Sinking of the Titanic Documentary profile on the Yorkshireborncomposer and his haunting, meditative, beautiful, and sometimes quirky music http://www.artsworld.com/tv/programme-highlights/030215-week-7/gavin-bryars-16fe
Extractions: In the early 1990s his haunting remixed composition Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet , based on looped tape of a tramp singing a hymn, was a big-selling hit in both classical and pop categories. It didn't exactly make the Yorkshireman an overnight success - he was already a respected and in-demand composer - but it did bring him wider attention. A follow-up disc was issued of the work discussed in this programme, Sounds for the Sinking of the Titanic (composed around 20 years before James Cameron's film made the famous ship's icy demise a household concept) and that release too enjoyed healthy popular sales. Long before 'Titanic fever', Bryars was fascinated by the sinking of the luxury liner. The notion that the ship's orchestra continued to play as the vessel sank captured his imagination and he scored his Sounds for the Sinking of the Titanic indeterminately to convey the notion of the music still echoing under water to this day.

Mais il est vrai ausi que des courants naguère underground remontent actuellement à la surface. On n'aurait, par exemple, jamais pris au sérieux des gens comme Arvo Pärt il y vingt ans. Il faut se rendre à l'évidence que le courant "tonal" n'est plus considéré comme anachronique mais comme parfaitement contemporain. Dans le même temps, il faut être conscient que certaines pièces écrites aujourd'hui de manière tonale n'auraient jamais pu voir le jour sans le travail de John Cage ou Pierre Boulez.
