AGP 15 features works by Dieter Schnebel for chamber groups and orchestra, from 1975-1978. The first two are from his Tradition series, and while not strictly canonical are based on canonic processes. In Motu Proprio has long been a favorite of mine, and has some very nice interference harmonies involving pairs of woodwinds playing notes very near the unison. The third is from his Arrangements series. It consists of an arrangement for orchestra of the first movement of Schubert's Piano Sonata in G Major, D. 894. Overlaid with the arrangement is a screen of harmonically dense music for strings, that Schnebel insists is implied in the music that Schubert actually wrote. In the first (live) version, a portion of the screen music is presented alone for the first four minutes or so, followed by the overlay of Schubert and screen music. In the second version, the screen music is performed in its entirety, followed by a full repetition with the Schubert overlay. The mic-ing of the strings is somewhat different in the two recordings, bringing out the overtone frequencies of the strings differently, thus affecting the subjective experience of the relationship between Schubert's music and Schnebel's. The included text file contains notes from both of the LPs that these recordings came from. To download AGP15 files, right-click on each of the following links and select SAVE LINK AS.
