Echoes of a Solitary Voice

Programnote/Programme Note
Før sin død i juli 2014 var maestro Lorin
Maazel i gang med at komponere et kort værk
for DR SymfoniOrkestret i forbindelse med
orkestrets traditionsrige Malko Konkurrence.
Fire måneder senere, i november, blev jeg af
hans hustru Dietlinde bedt om at undersøge
de skitser og noter, han havde efterladt sig
til værket. At skulle fordybe mig i Maazels
skitser og korte fragmenter var både interessant og afslørende. Hver en detalje og hver en
node var blevet skabt med stor opmærksomhed til både helheden og orkestreringen; alt
sammen tydeligt beskrevet på hver af de 16
sider Maazel havde færdiggjort. Den sidste
side, side 17, var blank.
Before his death in July 2014, Maestro Lorin
Maazel was composing a short work for The
Danish National Symphony as part of the
Orchestra’s long-standing Malko Conducting
Competition. Four months later in November,
Dietlinde asked me to examine the sketches
and autograph manuscript of his unfinished
work. To study this sketch and short fragment
in Maazel’s own hand was captivating and
revealing. Careful attention was paid to every
detail, each note written with keen understanding of orchestration; all clearly evident on
each of the sixteen pages Maazel had thus far
completed. The last page, number seventeen,
was blank.
Efter at have undersøgt Maazels skitse blev
jeg bedt om at benytte dele af værket i kompositionen af mit eget nye værk. Jeg var både
beæret, ydmyg og rædselsslagen. Jeg fordybede mig i Maazels kompositioner, studerede
de væsentligste værker i hans omfattende
produktion: 1984, musik for violin og orkester, musik for cello og orkester og The Giving
Tree. Det blev hurtigt klart for mig, at maestro
Maazel var berømt for sin direktion, men at
han stærkt overset som komponist.
After examining Maazel’s sketch and fragment, Dietlinde asked me to use this work in
some capacity and incorporate it into a new
composition of my own. I felt honored, humbled and terrified. I began by immersing myself
in Maazel’s works, studying his substantial
body of original compositions: Nineteen
Eighty Four, Music for Violin and Orchestra,
Music for Cello and Orchestra, and The
Giving Tree. Soon, it became apparent that despite the Maestro’s renown as a conductor, he
was greatly underappreciated as a composer.
Selvom Echoes of a Solitary Voice er mit eget
værk, kan alle aspekter af dets tilblivelse spores tilbage til Maazels fragmenter. Musikken
væver sig ind og ud af hans skitser, somme
tider med lån fra hans melodiske linjer, harmonier, rytmer og fraseringer, men oftere har
jeg ladet hans elementer udvikle sig og smelte
ind i nye ideer og strukturer. Resultatet er en
hyldest til en af vor tids store genier: Lorin
Maazel, komponisten.
Wayne Oquin
New York, 9. Marts, 2015
Though Echoes of a Solitary Voice is my own,
every aspect of its origins can be traced to
Maazel’s sketch and fragment. The music weaves in and out of his sketches, at times making
explicit use of his melodic gestures, harmonies,
rhythms, and textures, but, more often allowing his elements to develop, evolve and melt
into new ideas and structures. The result is a
tribute to another facet of a great genius of our
time: Lorin Maazel, the composer.
