	Hans Werner Henze - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Henze, Hans Werner
		In its aftermath Henze turned to more traditional forms, producing three string quartets as well as his Seventh Symphony in the late 1970s and early 1980s; The English Cat, again to a satirical libretto by Bond, was constructed as a "number opera" from a sequence of traditional closed forms.
		In the early 1990s Henze's work was dominated by the composition of an instrumental Requiem, dedicated to the memory of Michael Vyner, the former director of the London Sinfonietta.
		Henze’s last opera was L’Upupa or the Triumph of Filial Love, for which for the first time he has written his own libretto, and which was staged at the 2003 Salzburg Festival; his latest orchestral work Adagio, Fuge and Mänadentanz from The Bassarids, was first performed in Hamburg in September this year.

		Henze has also provided music for a series of ballets, with incidental music for the cinema and the theatre.
		Vocal and choral music by Henze is equally varied and remarkable, with Novae de infinito laudes (New Praises of the Infinite) with a text from Giordano Bruno, the Virgilian Muses of Sicily and the controversial Das Floss der 'Medusa' (The Raft of the Medusa), as well as the revolutionary El Cimarrón (The Fugitive).

	Hans Werner Henze and the music of Ondine
		Hans Werner Henze was born in Gütersloh, Westphalia, in 1926.
		Henze settled on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples.
		Henze, who had maintained contact with Ashton for some time, knew that he was being given a great opportunity, but would have to adjust his style to fit with the evocation of a romantic subject as envisaged by choreographer and designer.

	glbtq >> arts >> Henze, Hans Werner
		German composer and conductor Hans Werner Henze is remarkable for his ability to employ a wide range of styles, from those of the avant-garde to opulent neo-Romanticism, especially in his many stage and concert works.
		Henze was born on July 1, 1926, in the small town of Gütersloh in Westphalia.
		Henze's career survived detachment from the world of the avant-garde because his theatrical abilities allowed him to become one of the few modernists able to survive as an opera composer.

	James Wierzbicki / Hans Werner Henze
		Although in the mid-1950s Henze served on the faculty of the famous Darmstadt Summer School for New Music, he never advocated the cerebral constructions or arid sonic landscapes for which his colleagues Pierre Boulez, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Bruno Maderna campaigned.
		In recent years Henze's music has grown increasingly eclectic, and many of the works he's written in the last decade and a half are free-flowing assemblages of such diverse idioms as 12-tone serialism, musique concrete, 18th-century counterpoint, Balinese gamelan patterns and Mississippi delta blues.
		Henze deals facilely with the visible stuff of opera, with the characters and whatever they do in full view of the audience.

	Memoirs of an Outsider: Hans Werner Henze at 75 by Hans Werner Henze
		Henze is seated at a large drafting table, carefully examining a score.
		Henze as a young man, grinning slightly in a gentle and wistful manner.
		Henze carefully explains a movement from his Requiem: "The Tuba Mirum is intended as a concentrate of vulgar music in which the sounds of childhood terrors are juxtaposed and superimposed on memories of marching songs and hymns, together with popular hits and moments of meanness and drunkenness." This is anti-Fascist music without the usual trimmings.

		Henze also gives the traditionally-minded listener enough to hold onto with tonal twists and an occasional sudden Mahleresque melody.

	Sequenza21/The Contemporary Classical Music Weekly
		A concise 20-minute work of classical structure (which Henze it should be noted, often employs) the piece says to young composers that the old rules (of composition and structure) are very important.
		Henze is a romantic at heart and he draws upon the sensibilities of that era of music and art.
		There is a strong sense of theatre and the play of the human drama as it relates to the different parts of the requiem and their respectful emotional stages.

		Hans Werner Henze was born in Gütersloh, Westphalia, in 1926 and began composing at the age of twelve.
		Henze's operatic career reached a pitch of boldness and acclaim with 'The Bassarids', a two-hour single act conceived as a four-movement symphony, premiered in Salzburg in 1966; while his 45-minute second piano concerto of 1967 was a peak of his more abstract writing.
		Later in the summer, Hans Werner Henze’s Five Messages for the Queen of Sheba (drawing on motifs from his latest opera, L’Upupa und der triumph der sohnesliebe) receives its first performance in London on August 29.

	GEMA News 164 - Hans Werner Henze A Poetic Musician
		The cancelled premiere of the Floß der Medusa (Raft of Medusa) (the choir refused to sing beneath communist symbols) was a scandal.
		Henze also firmly formulates his political credo in artistic terms and does not shy away from open discussions.
		Henze would admittedly be misunderstood as an opera composer: Ten symphonies, five string quartets and one series of chamber music works with a great variety of instrumentation form a rich body of creative work in various genres.

	Congratulating Hans Werner Henze on his 75th birthday (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Henze persisted, and wrote the ballet "Undine", the operas "The Prince of Homburg", "Elegy for Young Lovers" and "The Young Lord", based on a fairy tale by Wilhelm Hauff - works that genuinely appealed to a broad public and ran counter to the musical evolution of the 1950s and 60s.
		Henze was dismissed by many as an opportunist trying to jump on the bandwagon of the "economic wonder years" of the 1960s.
		Henze must also have been delighted with the large and excellent cast in which there was not a weakness; perhaps the most prominent in a team whose main task was in fact to coalesce were Edith Mathis … and Barry McDaniel […].

		The most significant event of this year’s Berliner Festwochen was the première of Hans Werner Henze’s Ninth Symphony, given by the Berliner Philharmoniker and Berliner Rundfunk-Chor under the baton of Ingo Metzmacher, who just took his new position as chief conductor of the Hamburg Opera.
		The innocent tree’s voice is sung by the female chorus, the annihilators with their saws and axes are personified by the men’s chorus.
		In this movement Henze is the inspired tone poet, as we know him in his best moments, putting all his polyvalent richness of invention into the tearingly contrasting sections.

		Henze's unhappy childhood during the onset of Fascism found release in music, which, in spite of the disruption of the war, became the center of his life.
		In both the political and sexual spheres, Hans Werner Henze is an outsider whose utopian dreams of a humane communism have always had to contend with reality.

	classical music - andante - paris fetes hans werner henze
		The composer is old enough to have been called to military service in the final months of World War II, and his revulsion for German fascism drove him to the opposite end of the political spectrum.
		He described this work, in a recent interview, as a "single, long nightmare from beginning to end." But it is much more than that — the old master has created an expertly crafted work of real emotional depth that will likely be considered among his best.
		The organ outburst in the sixth movement, "Nachts in Dom" ("Night in the Cathedral"), imparted a mystical sense of wonder, and the elegiac, serene final movement, "Die Rettung" ("The Salute") is music of almost Mahlerian profundity.

	Music Associates of America ~ MadAminA! Hans Werner Henze Heard at Manhattan School
		In March, 1986, the Manhattan School of Music presented a festival devoted to Hans Werner Henze whose 60th birthday is being observed this year.
		In addition to the three performances of the opera, there was a concert of Henze's music for guitar and an informal talk by the composer, illustrated by the guitarist David Tanenbaum.
		It seemed to us that much of what Henze said was so insightful and at the same time revealing that we asked the Manhattan School of Music for permission to quote some particularly pertinent excerpts for the delectation of a wider public than could attend his Monday afternoon lecture.

		After a long career in operatic theaters, German composer Hans Werner Henze reportedly created his final opera, in the summer of 2003, for the Salzburg Festival: L'Upupa und der Triumph der Sohnesliebe (Upupa, or the triumph of filial love).
		Henze also uses taped sounds of beating wings and bird calls, which evoke the mythological bird much better than the mechanized one in a cage used in this production.
		Henze may be out of the opera business, but he continues to compose, having recently premiered a new work for orchestra, Cinq messages pour la Reine de Saba, commissioned by Radio France.

		Slave labour - The political statements of Hans Werner Henze, investigated by Robert Anderson.
		Hans Werner Henze has been with us long enough to outlive the various scandals and outrages that have punctuated his career, so as to become almost an establishment figure, with honours, doctorates and professorships showered upon him.
		It so happens that both the works successfully presented here just antedate the assassination of Che Guevara in October 1967 and the beginning of Henze's 'Cuban' period, where his politics lurched dramatically leftwards and he launched on a reluctant public a series of political statements in music designed for maximum controversy and provocation.

		Hans Werner Henze is a composer nearer to the traditional 'centre' of classical music than many like to think.
		Juxtaposing Henze's two works against two C minor works by Beethoven seems on paper odd yet this concert melded perfectly - the sunny Henze contrasted with the sombre dramatic Beethoven.
		Yefim Bronfman was a superb soloist in Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto - achieving a spellbinding lyricism, notably in the radiant second movement, and compelling dialogue with the orchestra throughout the work's development.

		The climax to this period came with a rich and elaborate but also dynamic treatment of The Bacchae in the opera The Bassarids (1966), followed by a period of self-searching; that was externalized in the Second Piano Concerto (1967) and eventually gave rise to an outspoken commitment to revolutionary socialism.
		Henze visited Cuba (1969-70), where he conducted the first performance of his Sixth Symphony, incorporating the tunes of revolutionary songs.
		He also developed a bold, poster style in music-theatre works (El Cimarrón, 1970), leading to his dramatization of class conflict in the opera We Come to the River (1976).
