Past Carryovers
Global Music
On Saturday, April 10, at 6 p.m., the final concert of the seminar “Global Music—Crossover Between Middle Eastern/Oriental and Western Music (Jazz, Pop, Classical),” led by Andreas Heuser, was broadcast live.
The mutual influence between Middle Eastern/Oriental and Western music has been taking place for decades: jazz musicians use Oriental scales and rhythms in their improvisations and compositions, while Middle Eastern ensembles harmonize their pieces according to Western models: This has given rise to ensembles in which classical Western and traditional Oriental instruments are played together, composers of serious music draw inspiration from Oriental scale systems, and much more. The seminar was intended to offer an opportunity to be part of this process.
The practical seminar, led by Andreas Heuser, made it possible—along with other small-scale projects—to ensure that music students could earn their ensemble participation certificate as part of a course held under COVID-19 restrictions.
The live broadcast was produced by staff at the recording studio affiliated with the Music Institute and streamed on the Music Institute’s YouTube channel.
Tangos! ...and Mass.
On Sunday, April 11, at 5 p.m. , the closing concert of the practical seminar “Tangos! ...and Mass” was broadcast live , featuring participating students, staff, and friends of the Institute for Music and Musicology at TU Dortmund University. The program featured Astor Piazzolla’s *Five Tango Sensations * and Martín Palmeri’s *Misa a Buenos Aires*.
Mezzo-soprano: Janina Harwardt
Bandoneon: Dr. Maik Hester
Piano: Charlotte Trenk
Conductors: Dr. Maik Hester and Jonas Gansau
“Five Tango Sensations,” Astor Piazzolla’s last major composition, is a tour de force
through the human emotional landscape: As one awakens from sweet dreams, love, fear, and despair—even a panic-stricken fear of death—are impressively translated into sound.
Palmeri’s *Misa a Buenos Aires*, also known as *Misatango*, combines the classical Ordinary—Kyrie, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus Dei with Piazzolla’s Tango Nuevo style to create a passionate mass for choir, strings, piano, bandoneon, and mezzo-soprano solo.
The practical seminar led by Dr. Maik Hester (rehearsal director for the instrumental ensemble and bandoneon) and Jonas Gansau (rehearsal director for the vocal ensemble and conductor) made it possible, alongside other small-scale projects, to ensure that music students could earn their ensemble participation certificate as part of a course held under COVID-19 restrictions.
The live broadcast was produced by staff at the recording studio affiliated with the Music Institute and streamed on the Music Institute’s YouTube channel.
