Tonight’s pocket history of post-war music, reflecting
Radio 3’s Fifty Modern Classics, opens with Ligeti’s
playful Poème for 100 ticking metronomes. In Berio’s
solo trombone extravaganza the player employs
many extended techniques and at one point turns
to the audience to ask, ‘Why?’ Xenakis makes lively
play out of rigorous patternings and Cage – whose
centenary we mark this year – removes the idea of
a sound source altogether. Before that notorious
provocation there’s Jonathan Harvey’s haunting
electronic amalgam of a Winchester Cathedral
bell and the voice of his boy chorister son,
and Louis Andriessen’s thrilling, hard-Minimalist
musical clock.
