SSSAAATTTBBB. a cappella -- This extended choral work was composed in 1996, and first performed by the Latvian Radio Choir conducted by Kaspars Putnins at the Festival of New Latvian Choral Music. In 1997 it won First Prize at the International Competition organized by the Barlow Foundation, USA. At the Edge of the Earth is in four sections, based on two short passages from the play Prometheus Bound by the Greek dramatist Aeschylus. circa 525- 456 BC. Prometheus, one of the Titans. the Elder Gods, eventually overthrown by Zeus and the Olympian Gods. , felt sympathy for mankind, and so he stole fire from the Olympians and gave it to mankind as a gift. As punishment for this crime, Zeus orders Hephaestus. god of fire. to take Prometheus to the top of a mountain and chain him to a rock. Thunder and lightning will split the rock and bury Prometheus underground, where by day an eagle will rip his flesh and eat his liver. and by night the liver will grow back again, so that on the ensuing day the torture can be renewed. The first two sections of the composition are based on the opening of the play, as two servants of Zeus. Strength and Violence. drag Prometheus to the rock and remind Hephaestus of Zeus' orders. The third section follows attacca, but we are now right at the end of the play. Prometheus addresses a prayer to his mother, Gaia. Earth. The fourth section follows, as thunder and lightning are about to begin. I had the idea for creating the Theatre of Voices Edition when my researches into Baltic repertoire suggested to me that far more wonderful music was being composed than existing publishing houses have recognized. It seemed to me there might be room for a new perspective, publishing fine music that I know singers enjoy singing and audiences enjoy hearing. TOVE will therefore present a very personal selection, but one rooted in the direct experience of knowing the composers and performing the music. And for similar reasons, TOVE will also be an outlet for my work in early music and in the strangely neglected field of 19th century English music. In addition, we will publish little books, pamphlets, and other musical miscellania, as time and opportunity affords. Paul Hillier. -- Maija Einfelde was born in Valmeira. Latvia. on January 2nd, 1939. Choral Works. including Oratorios.

SSSAAATTTBBB. a cappella - Hierdie uitgebreide koorwerk is gekomponeer in 1996, en die eerste keer deur die Lets Radio Koor onder leiding van Kaspars Putnins by die fees van die Nuwe Lets Choral Music. In 1997 was dit die eerste prys gewen by die internasionale kompetisie georganiseer deur die Stigting Barlow, VSA. Op die rand van die aarde is in vier afdelings, gebaseer op twee kort uittreksels uit die drama Prometheus Bound deur die Griekse dramaturg Aeschylus. circa 525-456 vC. Prometheus, een van die Titans. die ouderling gode, uiteindelik 'n omkering deur Zeus en die Olimpiese gode. , Voel simpatie vir die mensdom, en so het hy gesteel het vuur van die Olympians en gee dit aan die mensdom as 'n geskenk. As straf vir die misdaad, Zeus beveel Hephaestus. god van vuur. Prometheus te neem na die top van 'n berg en ketting hom na 'n rock. Donder en weerlig sal die rock verdeel en begrawe Prometheus ondergronds, waar deur die dag 'n arend sy vlees rip en eet sy lewer. en in die nag die lewer sal weer groei, sodat op die daaropvolgende dag het die marteling hernu kan word. Die eerste twee dele van die samestelling is gebaseer op die opening van die drama, as twee dienaars van Zeus. Krag en geweld. sleep Prometheus van die rots en herinner Hephaestus van Zeus se bestellings. Die derde afdeling volg attacca, maar ons is nou aan die einde van die drama. Prometheus spreek 'n gebed aan sy ma, Gaia. Aarde. Die vierde afdeling volg, soos donder en weerlig is oor te begin. Ek het die idee vir die skep van die Teater van Voices Edition toe my navorsing in die Oossee repertoire aan my voorgestel dat baie meer wonderlike musiek is gekomponeer word as die bestaande uitgewers het erken. Dit lyk vir my daar dalk ruimte vir 'n nuwe perspektief, publiseer fyn musiek wat ek weet sangers geniet sing en gehore geniet hoor. Tove sal dus bied 'n baie persoonlike keuse nie, maar een gewortel in die direkte ervaring van kennis van die komponiste en die verrigting van die musiek. En vir soortgelyke redes, sal Tove ook 'n uitlaat vir my werk in vroeë musiek en in die vreemd verwaarloosde gebied van die 19de eeu Engelse musiek. Daarbenewens sal ons boekies, pamflette en ander musikale Varia publiseer, soos wat die tyd en die geleentheid tot die grootste. Paul Hillier. - Maija Einfelde is in Valmeira gebore.
