Dayton Philharmonic - Gubaidulina: The Mystic

The Classical Connections format features musical examples and explanation by DPO Artistic Director Neal Gittleman followed by a performance on the second half of the entire composition.

Directly following is a casual Q&A with Neal and an Ice Cream Social with a free scoop of Graeter's.

When Russian-Tatar composer Sofia Gubaidulina wrote Stimmen... Verstummen... (Voices… Silence…) in 1986, she composed it as a twelve-movement symphony, rather than one of four movements. The longest movement is slightly more than eleven minutes, but most are much shorter, several lasting less than one minute. If you close your eyes and listen carefully, the work can indeed sound to you as though it were a conversation between different instruments and orchestra sections. It is notable that the conversation is primarily genial and that it uses silence as an instrument section in its own right. For example, the actual climax to the work occurs in the ninth movement (and at the end of the twelfth), as the conductor conducts, but the orchestra doesn’t play.

Voices… Silence… proves the point that unlike black and white, neither of which are actually colors, silence can have a sound.
