Frederik Magle – a talented young composer

Joe LI — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 01:39:51 +0000

Frederik Magle is a 32 year old composer and organ player from Denmark. He studied organ and composition at the Royal Academy of Music in Denmark. His fame comes from his compositions for the Denmark Royal Family, including the christening ceremony’s music of Prince Nikolai, ten years ago. His other acclaimed composition uses the writings of Denmark’s Prince Henrik and is called Cantabile.

Cantabile is a symphonic suite, formed of three movements. Magle’s composition skills are mainly self developed. As most of his work, Cantabile is melodic with few atonality components.

The first performances of the Cantabile, all played by The Danish National Symphony Orchestra were appreciated both by the present spectators and the music critiques. While the first movement met its audience in 2004, the other two were first performed only this year.

The symphony’s title coincides with the title of Prince Henrik’s poem book. The music has a strong relationship with the text, the result being astonishing.

Cantabile was a major experience in Magle’s composer evolution. The first movement required an entire year of hard work.

The next two movements proved themselves to be a lot more complicated to write. Magle’s attention to detail and his high aspirations made him rewrite these two movement several times. The whole creation process lasted for five years. The final result proves that it worth the effort though.

Ellery Eskelin and Sylvie Courvoisier - Every So Often (Prime Source, 2008)

Joe LI — Sun, 10 May 2009 00:17:50 +0000

Tenor saxophonist Ellery Eskelin and pianist Sylvie Courvoisier have similar conceptions in jazz and improvised music. They both play wide open improvisations drawing from many traditions and streams of music.This is a disc of nine spontaneously improvised pieces where the two musicians prove that they have much common ground and each proves to be a catalyst for the other, encouraging experimentation, exploration and collaboration in a way that makes for very appealing music. Both musicians have developed unique, individual approaches to improvised music, Courvoisier most fascinatingly, as she strums on the strings of the piano and taps percussively upon it, in addition to her traditional technique which expands the range of the music she is able to produce. Eskelin frequently uses short, clipped notes and bursts of notes the propel his ideas forward. This is a very interesting free jazz album, not free in the sense of squalling intensity, but free in the sense of wide open music that is able to move without constraint in musical space-time according to the wishes of the artists.

Rempis Percussion Quartet - The Dissapointment of Parsley (Not Two, 2009)

Joe LI — Wed, 06 May 2009 00:16:25 +0000

This is a very exciting modern jazz group consisting of Dave Rempis on alto and tenor saxophones, Anton Hatwich on bass, Tim Daisy on drums and percussion and Frank Rosaly on drums and percussion. They play wide open free jazz with snippets of melody. This isn’t just balls to the wall free jazz though, the music is thoughtfully played and the concept of interaction between all of the musicians is key to the success of the music, particularly here in a spontaneous setting as the music was recorded live in Krakow, Poland on April 6, 2008. “The Disappointment of Parsley” opens the disc with an uptempo improvisation that is very appealing. Rempis plays tenor saxophone here, and this was my favorite piece of the three, a dynamic free-bop collective improvisation with a headlong visceral rush of music like shooting the rapids of a canyon. The dual percussion and bass make for an almost hypnotic underpinning for Rempis to improvise over. The second performance, “Zoni ,” is a slower and moving performance dedicated to the leader’s recently deceased grandmother. The music is quieter and reverential, slowing the pace but keeping the edgy feel. The medley of Julius Hemphill’s “C” and the original “Sold at Ten Percent Discount” is an epic performance that ends the album. The music ebbs and flows in a suite like manner form faster more frenetic sections to abstract artistic portions like the tides weaving in and out from the sore of a distant beach. This was exciting and spontaneous music that I enjoyed quite a bit, the group plays very well together and improvises at a very high level. Music like this and the exciting music being performed by the likes of Billy Harper, Charles Tolliver and Ken Vandermark are among my favorite modern jazz, music that is respectful of the traditions of the music of the past but yet seeking ways to bring that excitement and joy into the future.
