„Über das Rätselhafte“ ("About the mysterious")

 

While working on "Air mit Sphinxes", Nicolaus A. Huber had the opportunity to listen to Robert Schumann's piano work "Carnaval" live in concert and was captivated by the mysteriousness of the Sphinx melodies it contains:
The riddle of the environment, the riddle of length as a melodic tone, the riddle of repetition and also the riddle of the sphinxes' own structure, the limbs.
For him, “sphinx-like” means the high, deep, wide and full in his piece, without being wide, deep, high and full.
The enigma in Gerald Eckert's “An den Rändern des Maßes” is presented differently:
Energy states that arise from shattered sound fields and the aesthetic qualities of their remains. The interior is veiled, the sonic reality overshadows the origin and makes the core itself “virtual”. Interspersed harmonic fields show a tendency to volatilize as soon as they are created. Moments of pause are accompanied by an increase in fragility.
With a large cast, the Ensemble Reflexion tries to get to the bottom of the enigma in both works and first presents the audience with excerpts from “Air mit Sphinxes” and “An den Rändern des Maßes” before playing both compositions in full length in the concert situation presents.
 

Program:
 
Nicolaus A. Huber
"Air mit Sphinxes" (1987) for large ensemble
 
Gerald Eckert
"An den Rändern des Maßes" (2005/ 11) for two enseble groups

„Über dunkle Energien und leere Räume“ ("About dark energies and empty rooms")

 

Dark energies are the starting point for the work cycle “energeia aphanés” by Michael Quell. In astrophysics, this mysterious phenomenon serves as a hypothetical attempt to explain the observed increasing speed of expansion of the universe, which otherwise stands in clear contradiction to the gravitational effects caused by matter. Its existence has not yet been proven, so it itself cannot be observed, but, like dark matter, it essentially determines the space-time structure of the universe.
In the works of the same name, this idea becomes a symbol of a musically aesthetic world whose actual control principles remain consistently hidden, but whose results determine the world of experience. Space, time and the idea of ​​time dissolution play a central role.


Program:

Michael Quell
"energeia aphanés II" (2018) for contrabassclarinet and accordion
 
Gerald Eckert
"außen, von tief innen" (2015) for bassflute, contrabassclarinet and violoncello

„Gestade in Fernen“

 
 
Music for the day of the liberation of Auschwitz on January 27th

In its program “Gestade in Fernen”, the ensemble reflection K deals with human suffering in its most diverse manifestations and forms.
The musicians present works by Brigitta Muntendorf, Gerald Eckert, Johannes Kalitzke and Dieter Schnebel, which were created between 1988 and 2016, in different spatial configurations in the Eckernfoerder St. Nicolai church and the Zionschurch Bielefeld-Bethel. They all deal with the theme of war, death and pain, but also with the human misconduct that triggered this. The underlying text fragments come from such high-ranking authors as Heinrich Böll, Paul Celan, Raoul Schrott and from the Stabat Mater Dolorosa (13th century).
In contrast, the ensemble presents various short antiphons by the abbess Hildegard von Bingen from the years 1150 to 1160, sung by the soprano Irene Kurka, who, with her life-affirming character singing about the "miracle of creation", present themselves as a strong contrast, but also as a connection to the works from the 20th and 21st centuries.

"n.e.u.e_b.a.h.n.e.n"
A "short ride through the avant-gardes of music history" from Machaut via Monteverdi, Beethoven, Liszt, Dvorak, Satie and Webern to a world premiere by Gerald Eckert.

The title of the program alludes to Robert Schumann's article "Neue Bahnen" in the "Neue Musikzeitung", which praised the young Johannes Brahms as the composer of the future. And so this program not only deals with the music of the present time, but also presents avant-gardists from 700 years of music history, beginning with a motet by the French Guillaume de Machaut, of whom not only the oldest mass setting has survived, but also the fundamental ones established rules of counterpoint and melody that still apply today.
It will also be heard how Carlo Gesualdo, Franz Liszt or Ludwig van Beethoven broke the harmonic habits of their time, how Claudio Monteverdi, Carl Philip Emanuel Bach or John Cage invented new forms of composition, or how Antonin Dvorak, Eric Satie or Anton Webern made traditional forms create something new.

Aux mains de l'espace

concert 03. June 2021, 8 p.m
St. Nicolai church Eckernfoerde

 

Aux mains de l’espace – in the hand of the space
Portrait concert Gerald Eckert

 

“Aux mains de l’espace” is not just the title of an electronic piece by Gerald Eckert. You often feel in the "hand of the room" when listening to his music, which takes you again and again into new, innovative and inspiring soundscapes.
Research into the extreme areas of sound and silence constantly brings the unexpected to light. Hardly audible is enlarged, alienated, like with a "zoom". The audience can often not really be sure which instrument is being heard, when a transition has taken place or whether an electronic sound is being heard.
Gerald Eckert uses his knowledge with mastery and virtuosity in his compositions and always works with his interpreters to push the technical boundaries outwards. In the musicians of Ensemble Reflexion K, he has found equal partners who understand his sound ideas both intuitively and intellectually and are also able to implement them or develop them further together with him.
Gerald Eckert and the Ensemble Reflexion K have been working together artistically and personally for 20 years, exploring the new and unknown in sound and since then have been shaping the musical present, not just in the north. So it's time for a portrait.

The concert takes place in compliance with the currently valid distance and hygiene rules. Admission from 7.30 p.m. with a completed contact sheet and a negative corona test.

Like the composition “Charisma” (1971) by Iannis Xenakis, which is based on a verse from Homer's Illias, all of the works selected by Ensemble Reflexion K for its “Vertical Time” program were created from a wide variety of poetological approaches and, with their poetics and musical structure, are able to “create a meaning in the world”.

Hear statements from new music from the past 50 years by Iannis Xenakis, Elliott Carter, Gerald Eckert, Juan Campoverde Q. and Dieter Mack, who has been professor of composition at the Lübeck University of Music since 2003 and who retired in March of this year.

 

programme:

Dieter Mack (*1954, D) „Sprachtanz“ (2010) for clarinet solo 

Juan Campoverde Q. (*1964, EC/USA) „Estelas Australes“ (2021) for flute and violoncello   UA

Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001, GR/F) „Charisma“ (1971) for clarinet and violoncello

Mikrophonie

concert 24. September 2021, 8 p.m
St. Nicolai church Eckernfoerde

 

... In Mikrophonie I, musicians put a large tam-tam in vibration by means of various materials. Two musicians move the microphones by hand over the surface of the tam-tam and a third group of musicians transforms the recorded vibrations with electric filters and regulators. Together with the original sound of the tam-tams, they are simultaneously played back via loudspeakers. The division of the musical processes into three independent sectors (sound making, sound recording, sound transformation) makes it possible to continuously link all the instrumental experiences with the electronic sound technique. That way any source of sounds (traditional instruments, sound events of any nature) can be integrated in a sound composition which seeks coherence. Thus making the dualism between instrumental technique and electronic music disappear.

Furthermore, the title Mikrophonie points out that normally inaudible sounds (of a tam-tam) can be made audible by an active process of “auscultating” (comparable to the auscultating of a body by the doctor). The microphone contrary to its usually passive function as a playback unit becomes an active musical instrument. In Mikrophonie I the sound processing and the tape montage, which up to now took place exclusively during long working hours in the studio for electronic music, is carried out simultaneously with the making of the sounds and the result can be heard at once. It goes without saying that the then automatic, and in a short period of time controllable electronic process of sound transformation, has to be further developed...

außen, von tief innen

concert 25. September 2020, 8 p.m
St. Nicolai church Eckernfoerde


With "außen, von tief innen" ("outside, from deep inside"), the Ensemble Reflexion K presents you a program with works by mostly younger international composers, almost all of whom were guests at the Schleswig-Holsteinische Artists Residence in Eckernfoerde as scholarship holders. And although the corona pandemic has not yet played a role in the planning of this concert, the background and themes of the individual compositions could not be more current at the moment.
In the booklet text for Gerald Eckert's new CD "absence", which will also be presented that evening, it says: "His main focus is often not on a central, triggering event, a center of the happening, but on what is happening this event was triggered and how the consequences develop from it ..... So through an increase in complexity (...) condensation occurs precisely in the dilution, the space is reshaped and restructured by the sound. And conversely, structures seem to dissolve by becoming brittle and - above all - instantaneous ...." Just as Gerald Eckert musically deals with the consequences of an event, the whole world is currently concerned with the effects of Covid-19 on it own country and own life. Some relationships become denser and more intense due to the restrictions, while others become more fragile and dissolve.
Less people had heard of "social distancing" at least until March this year. Now the term is on everyone's lips and we stick to it more or less enthusiastically or demonstrate against it. In the series "Landscape with a Rainbow", "distance" is the central concept that Elnaz Seyedi deals with. Here main focus is on the possibilities that open up with a certain distance. While she comes to the conclusion that distance creates clarity, Katharina Roth in "Snake Charmer" deals with misleading ways that can currently be observed en masse in the demonstrations against the corona measures. Their whole composition consists of lines or signals that indicate changes or can cause confusion. They run through the piece, as she herself writes, "like a red thread - like snakes in search of their prey. But they are deceived by false calls."

The concert takes place in compliance with the current Corona rules. There is space for 50 listeners in the St. Nicolai Church. Tickets are available in advance at the EZ-Ticketcenter and at the box office. In both cases, please bring a completed sheet of paper with your contact details and note the currently severely restricted opening times of the EZ-Ticketcenter Monday to Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You need mouth and nose protection for the concert, which can then be removed during the concert.

duo concert I - Microjornadas Cordoba at Eckernfoerde

special concert 16. October 2020, 8 p.m
St. Nicolai church Eckernfoerde

On October 16 and 30, the Duo Reflexion K with Beatrix Wagner and Gerald Eckert invites you to two special concerts with very special programs in the St. Nicolai Church.
The two musicians would normally have been on a concert tour in Argentina during this time and would have presented the winning pieces of the international composition competition initiated especially for the duo at the "Microjornadas Córdoba" festival. Since the 10th edition of the Microjornadas has to be canceled this year, the Argentinian festival organizers, musicians and award winners are very happy that the world premieres of their compositions will take place on October 16th in Eckernfoerde. A German-Argentinian internet video co-production that is being created soon will enable the composers and their works to be presented to an audience all over the world.
The program contains the latest music from Uruguay, Ecuador, Argentina and Taiwan, but also from Germany, which the duo would have liked to present to their Latin American audience at the 10th Microjornadas in Córdoba.
On October 30th, the "Meditation" program of the duo will lead to Reformation Day on October 31st. With the 12-minute "Nachtbogen" by Gerald Eckert and the 45-minute world premiere of "Composizione per flauto e violoncello" by Emiliano Turazzi, it contains two very sensual, fine and contemplative works that invite the audience to concentrate and in to sink the sound current.
The new CD from Ensemble Reflexion K with works by the Italian composer, who also participated in the recording of two pieces, will then also be available.

Both concerts will be held in compliance with the current Corona distance and hygiene rules, each with an audience of 35. Admission is 6 Euros per concert, there are no discounts. Tickets can be purchased at the box office and at the EZ customer center.
Pre-orders are possible at beatrix.wagner@freenet.de, but have to be picked up at the box office between 7.30 and 7.40 p.m., otherwise they will go back to general ticket sales.

concerts 2010

 

for the moment only in german:

Mit colours - Farben geleiten die Konzertreihe Neue Musik Eckernförde 2010 und das Ensemble Reflexion K Sie farbenreich durch die Krise. Um Lösungsmöglichkeiten zu finden, ist zuallererst einmal eine Bestandsaufnahme erforderlich. Sie erfolgt mit colours I und beleuchtet mit Lust die Melancholie, eine von Trauer, Schmerz oder Nachdenklichkeit geprägte Gemütsstimmung, in der wir uns mehr oder weniger alle gerade befinden dürften.
New Gates / colours II zeigt dann anhand der fast 100-jährigen Farbtradition der Triobesetzung Flöte, Viola und Harfe Aussichten, wie Türen geöffnet und neue Wege beschritten werden können und in Gegendämmerung / colours III schauen wir in die Renaissance mit ihren "universal gebildeten" Menschen und kontrastieren die Vokalfarben der ältesten erhaltenen vierstimmigen Messe, die "Messe de Nostre Dame" von Guillaume de Machaut (ca. 1300 bis 1377) mit Werken des zeitgenössischen Klangfarbenspezialisten Gerald Eckert.
Das vierte Konzert Samen.Sprungfedern / colours IV schließlich ist mit der Besetzung vier Flöten und zwei Schlagzeuger eine Hommage an die Flöte und zeigt, wie bei nahezu gleich bleibender Grundlage immer wieder neue Möglichkeiten kreiert werden. Als eines der ersten Musikinstrumente überhaupt, anfangs aus Knochen hergestellt, spielte sie in vielen Epochen eine wichtige Rolle, so auch besonders bei der Erforschung neuer Spieltechniken in der modernen Musik.
Fin des Terres? Weltenende? Wie die Lage der Welt zum Zeitpunkt unseres letzten Konzertes colours V aussehen wird und welchen Beitrag wir selbst dazu geleistet haben werden, ist jetzt noch nicht absehbar. Der Komponist Gerald Eckert, dem wir dieses Konzert zu seinem 50. Geburtstag Ende Dezember widmen, hat diese Frage schon 2002 mit seinem Stück "offen - fin des terres" aufgeworfen und ist auch für die weitere Stückauswahl dieses Konzertes verantwortlich, so dass wir auf einen groß besetzten, philosophischen Farbenrausch zum Ausklang der Konzertreihe Neue Musik Eckernförde 2010 gespannt sein dürfen.

concerts 2009

 

In 2009 the focus of the concert series of contemporary mucic Eckernfoerde is on contrasts. Even the beginning starts with a huge contrast: in five concerts at the festival Provinzlärm with the focus on Latvia alternates classical instruments (Ensemble Reflexion K and SENSUS stringquartett) with traditional instruments (ensemble Altera Veritas) and contemporary vocal music meets vocal music from the renaissance (Schola cantorum Riga).
Contrasts concerning time and space plays a decisive role on the second concert with the ensemble Aventure (Freiburg) and "voces Berlin" entitled on the edge/ Kontraste II, before we explore with our second focus on Argentina new tendencies of contemporary music there in our summer concert New Argentina/ Kontraste III.
In ... by doing/ Kontraste IV the musicians of the Ensemble Reflexion K converging with pupils of the Jungmann-Gymnasium Eckernfoerde. The pupils developed some works by John Cage in a work phase some weeks before the concert and will present them as "interludes".
The final concert for this year concert series entitled Stream/ Kontraste V is on the focus of electronics and we are excited by ourselves, what sophistications our guest, the composer André Bartetzki will present on this evening.

concerts 2008

 

Das Jahr 2008 steht für das Ensemble Reflexion K und die Eckernförder Neue-Musik-Reihe im Zeichen der Portrait-CD-Aufnahme von Gerald Eckert. Die Aufnahmen werden im Frühjahr 2008 beim MDR in Leipzig stattfinden und wenn alles klappt, sollten wir beim Visuals-Konzert am 26.9. nicht nur Videos von Ralf Weissleder und Matthias Meyer zu sehen bekommen, sondern auch die neue Eckert-CD.
Ein anderer Schwerpunkt, der sich durch das ganze Jahr ziehen wird, ist das Thema Zeit. In den ersten beiden Konzerten stellen wir Ihnen mit den Programmen WIE WOLKEN / ÜBER ZEIT I und TWILIGHT / ÜBER ZEIT II den Umgang "moderner" Komponisten mit Zeit, mit Dauer, mit Energie / energetischen Momenten, mit Reduktion, mit Konzentration und mit Dichte vor.
Der Bogen spannt sich dabei von den fast religiös anmutenden, 1886 ursprünglich für Klavier entstandenen "Ogives" des längst verstorbenen Franzosen Eric Satie bis zu den, jeweils nur für eine Aufführung komponierten Modulstücken des jungen Briten James Saunders; von Iannis Xenakis' "Charisma", ein in seiner Kürze ein größtmögliches Maß an Dichte und Energie erreichendes Werk bis zu den ausgedehnten Klangflächenkonzentraten eines Klaus Klang aus Österreich.
Große Zeitsprünge gibt es in AUS DEN ALPEN / ÜBER ZEIT III zu hören. Der Ureinwohner des Alpenlandes stellt für den hochgewachsenen norddeutschen Küstenbewohner gemeinhin ein - meist wohlwollend belächeltes - kleinwüchsiges und sich rätselhaft artikulierendes Faszinosum dar. Wie die Musik dieses exotischen Bergvolkes früher klang und welche Klänge es heute hervorbringt, erfahren Sie in unserem Sommerkonzert.
Im vierten Konzert VISUALS / ÜBER ZEIT IV wird der akustische Faktor Zeit dann mit den Videos "Visuals" von Ralf Weissleder und Matthias Meyer, die auf einer eigenen Zeitschiene laufen, optisch erweitert.
Mit einer Konzertveranstaltung rund um und zu Ehren von Olivier Messiaen, der gerne als "Vater der französischen Moderne" bezeichnet wird und am 10.12. 2008 seinen 100. Geburtstag gefeiert hätte, geht unsere "Zeitreise 2008" zu Ende.

Very differciate, difficil and instabile, but very different in compositorial and aesthetic sense are the compositions by Gerald Eckert's, which piece "des Säglichen Zeit" - he uses fragments of the ninth Duineser Elegie by Rainer Maria Rilke - will be performed too.
