Movimento - tous les téléchargements

Dieter Schnebel has been deeply involved with music education since the beginning of his career. With the celebration in 2015 of the 45th anniversary of the founding of the AG at the secondary school in Grünstadt, a commission for MOVIMENTO closed the circle of the long history of artistic cooperation between Dieter Schnebel and the AG Neue Musik.

In MOVIMENTO for musicians in motion, movement – as the title indicates – is even more important than in the other parts of the Schulmusik cycle. The participants perform with and without instruments, and with and without the use of their voices. Sounds and movements are woven together and are mutually dependent on each other, in that the sounds – which by definition move in space – are transferred to bodily actions and vice versa. In this sense, Schnebel’s composition is a framework for experimentation: the students and their teacher are encouraged to experiment with the ensemble and solo pieces at hand and to develop performance versions of their own.

MOVIMENTO, according to Schnebel, “is music having to do with learning, practicing, rehearsing, internalizing, experiencing, and altering – combined with inspiration.”

The interpretations of all works are the first recordings worldwide and have been recorded in the presence of the composer.
