  Karel Goeyvaerts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karel Goeyvaerts (Antwerp 8 June 1923 - February 3, 1993, Antwerp) was a composer.
In 1951, Goeyvaerts attended the famous Darmstadt New Music Summer School where he met Karlheinz Stockhausen who was five years younger.
Goeyvaerts became very excited when he learned that Stockhausen was working with sine waves.

In Karel Goeyvaerts' vision of Utopia, 'Society' is represented scenically by groups of dancers and singing actors; the evolving structure he envisages is represented by the 'visible mutual relations' within these groups.
Goeyvaerts is a master in using the voice to its full advantage at all levels of its expressiveness and this, as in the case of the orchestra, without the use of experimental techniques.
Karel Goeyvaerts was himself unable to completely correct the manuscript for the publication of the score, vocal and orchestral material; after his sudden death on 3rd February 1993 this task was successfully completed by Mark De Smet, a great authority on and friend of Goeyvaerts'.

Karel Goeyvaerts would be the first composer in music history to succeed in applying this serial principle not only on the level of pitch but also on the levels of rhythm (note length), sound intensity and articulation.
Goeyvaerts was also one of the first to move in the direction of electronic music, which allowed him to bring even more discipline to both the composition and the “performance” (via magnetic tape).
Goeyvaerts’ specific application of neo-tonality, a technique that is in principle in diametrical opposition to serialism, is, for example, unthinkable without the serial purity of the 1950s.

A telling example would be the following: when Goeyvaerts died in 1993 at the early age of 70, it was discovered that the rough and the final versions of the composition fragment Alba per Alban consisted of an identical amount of measures.
Goeyvaerts did not use his first written version for the final touch, he merely used it to see where he had to draw his bars to end up with a nice layout.
Goeyvaerts systematically composes the sonorous contrast between the performer's live piano piece and the manipulated piano sounds.

Karel Goeyvaerts was born on 8 June 1923 in Antwerp, and died there on 3 February 1993.
In 1953, Goeyvaert and Stockhausen, together with several other composers, realised the first music produced by means of electronic generators (in the studios of the WDR in Cologne).

 GOEYVAERTS Improperia etc. MDC7829-30 [HC]: Classical Reviews- April2002 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Before reviewing the present release spanning some twenty five years of Goeyvaerts’ composing life, it may be useful to retrace, albeit briefly, his early musical progress up to the period when the pieces recorded here were written.
In this beautifully peaceful work, Goeyvaerts adopts some sort of Minimalism which will be the hallmark of many of his later pieces such as Pour que les fruits mûrissent cet été, also from 1975, written for Renaissance instruments and arranged later for small orchestra.
Karel Goeyvaerts was an influential and much respected composer whose musical progress was far from straight.

Goeyvaerts explained the technique of Webern for me, and analyzed his own piece, the Sonata for two pianos, which I did not understand at all.
Adorno was actually conducting the seminar in place of Schoenberg, who was very ill and died later in the year, and he attacked this music of Goeyvaerts, saying it was nonsense, it was only in a preliminary state, was not through-composed, but only a sketch for a piece that was still to be written.
The evolution of electronic music did not happen by accident either, but literally as a result of discussions between Goeyvaerts and myself on achieving the objective of synthesizing even the individual notes, the timbre of the individual sound.

The choir is named after Karel Goeyvaerts (1923-93), the most important Belgian composer after 1950.
Goeyvaerts Consort’s primary focus is on contemporary vocal music, placing special emphasis on pieces that are rarely performed due to their difficult nature, unknown masterpieces and music from their native country.
During the famous Marktoberdorf Choral Concert held in Germany in May 1999, Goeyvaerts Consort was the only choir from Western Europe to receive the title ‘international choir of excellence’.

The first problem was clear before the series began: the planned performance of Goeyvaert's Composition No. 2 had to be canceled because the instrumentalists required to perform the piece could not be found among the students of the Berlin *Hochschule der Kuenste* (HdK).
The earlier piece shows clear influences from "Mode de valeur et d'intensite." (Goeyvaerts, like many of his contemporaries, took part in Messiaen's analysis class.) It uses two unordered representatives of set class 7-22 as the basis for his harmonic and registral ordering of pitch class material.
It had been remarked that Goeyvaerts had been influenced by minimalism in this work, which, indeed, is built from the overlapping of repeated rhythmically distinct phrases.

Music by Flemish composers —amongst whom the internationally renowned Karel Goeyvaerts — was seldom performed in this very country.
The ongoing attention for the work by Flemish composers resulted in different creations and in launching a series of CDs around the work of Karel Goeyvaerts in collaboration with the Catholic University of Louvain.
Additionally, important works by foreign composers are being introduced ad commissions to create are given on an international level in order to locate local work in a critical and artistically demanding context.

 MTO 2.5: Castine, Review of "The Beginnings of Serial Music"
The first problem was clear before the series began: the planned performance of Goeyvaert's Composition No. 2 had to be canceled because the instrumentalists required to perform the piece could not be found among the students of the Berlin Hochschule der Künste (HdK).
(Goeyvaerts, like many of his contemporaries, took part in Messiaen's analysis class.) It uses two unordered representatives of set class 7-22 as the basis for his harmonic and registral ordering of pitch class material.
Boulez' criticism of the first four, that the pieces were in themselves too uniform (and which Stockhausen seems to have taken to heart through his three revisions of Klavierstück VI), seemed apt.

 Serial music
Serialism is most specifically defined as the structural principle according to which a recurring series of ordered elements (normally a set - or 'row' - of pitches or 'pitch classes') which are used in order, or manipulated in particular ways, to give a piece unity.
The series in itself may be regarded as pre-compositional material: in the process of composition it is manipulated by various means to produce musical material.
The serialization of rhythm, dynamics etc developed after the Second World War by arguing that the twelve-tone music of Arnold Schoenberg and his followers of the Second Viennese School had serialized pitch, and was partly fostered by the work of Olivier Messiaen and his analysis students, including Karel Goeyvaerts and Boulez, in post-war Paris.

Analog electronic music was the other area of intense interest where, as distinct from musique concrète, sounds are generated purely by electronic means, using oscillators, filters and so on.
Some of the main composers who pioneered this work are Gottfried Michael Koenig, Karlheinze Stockhausen, Karel Goeyvaerts, and Herbert Eimert.
Such musical developments were dependent on the available technology of electronic oscillators, filters and tape recorders.

This idea is known as twelve-tone or serial composition.
In the years immediately following World War II, several young composers (including Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992), Pierre Boulez (1925), Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928), Karel Goeyvaerts (1923-93), and Milton Babbitt (1916)) extended the idea of serialism to encompass other elements of musical composition including rhythm, dynamics, and timbre.
This approach is called total or integral serialism.

The distinctively scientific approach at Cologne was what attracted me to Stockhausen in particular.
During this period of study Stockhausen was also engaged in a lengthy correspondence with the Belgian composer Karel Goeyvaerts on what direction new music ideally should take.
Goeyvaerts insisted on electronic music as the only true path, since conventional musical instruments were burdened with cultural and functional associations totally at odds with a truly objective musical creation.
