"I would also like to think that my compositions are rather like ‘English gardens’, freely growing and organic, as opposed to those that are pruned to geometric precision and severity." -Rautavaara, on his 1999 composition "Autumn Gardens". Both Rautavaara's process and music are inspiring. Also, I have to imagine that Jacob Collier must have heard this at some point in his life, the similarities between it and Djesse Vol. 1 are too significant to be coincidence.

Thank you very much for uploading this (for uploading all that you do really). Over the past few years I've been journeying deeper and deeper into the realm of underplayed and forgotten art music, and this composer has been one of my favorite recent discoveries. Every once in a while I come across a composer who I adore, but I don't know why I do - Rautavaara is one such composer. There's something in his music I'm quite fond of but can't really articulate. I'm not terribly well versed in music theory, but can anyone explain to me how someone can write something so seemingly unlistenable like this and make it sound good? What style other than contemporary would this be called?

@scriabinismydog24395 жыл бұрын
Well first of all, his entire musical compositonal style is based on the harmonincal techniques involved in the 1st piano concerto. Also he uses frequently modal writing (idk which modes) and some bits of politonality between major/minor chords: for example the first piano concerto starts with an arpeggio of d major over d minor in the LH while the RH does some cluster chords to add chromatic dissonance and delete complete diatonicism (also the clusters form the basic motif). He uses also distant chord progressions and spice up the harmony adding minor seconds to the top of each chord and also adding non-octave extensions (9ths,11th etc.) like in the percussion concerto. Basically what Rautavaara is doing is pushing tonality to his maximum limits 😁
@scriabinismydog24395 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the replies 'Maurice Ravel' - that's pretty interesting! Neo-impressionism definitely fits, especially considering his pieces like Vincentiana. His blending of major/minor chords really creates a rather cool effect - it's always crazy when you realize there can be so much genius in purposeful dissonance!

Great music and I really thank the channel for letting me know of him. But me and many people still wonder why he preferred more homophonic full chords language than using counter-point. It really lack in his music. He barely uses any texture rathar than strings full chords and the woodwinds are only there for melodies and brass only when he needs him. Very advanced composer when it comes to tonal harmonic language with a language of his own, that wrote in a pretty simple way his orchestrations for some reason. But it's surprisingly still a great music though. So maybe... Who cares?
