The Ricciotti Ensemble, performing 'Le Sacre du Sacre'. A piece with a few original idea's.Conductor: Bas Wiegers.Oboe: Esther KurtzTrumpet: Michael InofuentesConcert Master: Vera van der BiePiano: Laura HolzenspiesFilmed by Floris van Bergeijk.17th of March 2003, Fentener van Vlissingenzaal, The Utrecht Conservatory (HKU)This piece was originaly composed solemnly for one purpose; namely as a closing piece of my graduation exam.The usual norm in the contemporary conservatory holds that you will not be regarded as a serious and valued composer unless you compose a-tonaly. In the fifties, pupils like Penderecki would be pushed to compose classical and romantic pieces almost every day. During the same period a new stream came up led by people like John Cage, who almost offensively tried to break all the classical rules, demanded artistic freedom and an (arguably) justified discussion.The days in which you were practicaly forced to compose 'conservative classical' music are over. Now you are forced to compose conservative avant guarde. As a pupil you will hardly ever dare use a cantabile line or a diatonic harmonic progression.You are constantly under a lot of pressure of composing music which is not too attractive, not cantabile, not tonal and in many cases you are literaly obliged to neglect any emotion.This occurs while quoting Ligeti and Stravinksy who according to many teachers are the pure visionaries of how you are supposed to compose today.I say that Stravinsky was great because he broke the rules of the beginning of the 20th century, that he does have a lot of sense of humor, and my favourite quote of his is this:'...a good composer does not immitate. He steals!..'This might be a reason why some members of the jury during my exam were not amused. This piece is made with truely deep respect for Stravinsky, out of love for his music, and to protect his image from some idiots in the conservatories who claim to be able to advocate in his name.Enjoy!* NEW - You can now purchase the score.
