(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Eliasson was born in Borl\u00e4nge. His “earliest musical experiences originated from within myself: they were my own singing, and familiar tunes I heard on the radio. No classical music.” Marching his toy soldiers up and down, he used to imagine sounds, learning only later to describe them as an orchestra. Aged 9, he began the trumpet, started up a small jazz orchestra (two clarinets, trombone, rhythm section, guitar, trumpet), and aged 10 he was writing arrangements. A jazz bass-player, “an unbelievable musician”, taught him chords. Aged 14, he went to an organist, Uno Sand\u00e9n, to learn harmony and counterpoint.[3]Aged 16 he went for private study in Stockholm to “the wonderful Valdemar S\u00f6derholm”, who “confronted me once more with real music” \u2013 music such as he had first heard aged about 12. “The first real piece of music” which Eliasson heard “on a gramophone record was Haydn\u2019s Symphony No. 104.”[4]Under S\u00f6derholm, he studied counterpoint: there followed five years\u2019 intensive work on Palestrina, Orlando di Lasso and above all Johann Sebastian Bach,[5] “the highest form of energy with which it\u2019s possible to come into contact.”[6]From 1966 he was a student under Ingvar Lidholm at the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, and until 1973 a member of the artistic committee of the Electronic Music Foundation, Stockholm. His first major successes were a choral work, Canto del vagabondo (1979), and his First Symphony (1989), for whose “originality, authenticity and musical clarity” Eliasson was awarded the Nordic Council Music Prize.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In 1991 he was composer in residence at the Lapland Festival in Arjeplog and visiting professor at Sibelius Academy Helsinki in the academic year 1993\/94. 37 works of Eliasson’s were performed at the “1996 International Composer\u00b4s Festival Stockholm”.[7]From 2000 Eliasson had performed a monodrama for soprano and 27 instrumentalists (Karolinas s\u00f6mn \/ Karolina\u00b4s Sleep, premiered in 2012), a great number of chamber music as well as five large-scale concertos: a Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra (written for Christian Lindberg), a Concerto for Alto Saxophone and String Orchestra (for John-Edward Kelly, the dedicatee of Eliasson’s 3rd Symphony), a Double Concerto for Violin, Piano and Orchestra (for Roland P\u00f6ntinen and Ulf Wallin), a Double Concerto for Violin, Viola and Chamber Orchestra as well as a Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (Solitary Journey, original title in German, Einsame Fahrt).Together with the composers Kalevi Aho, who was chairman of the jury, and Magnus Lindberg, Eliasson was juror in the 2nd International Uuno Klami Composer Competition 2008\/09.[8]From 2005 until his death, Anders Eliasson was composer-in-residence of the New York-based Arcos Chamber Ensemble.[9] He died in Stockholm, aged 66.‘The International Anders Eliasson Society’ was registered on 7 March 2016 in Vienna; its inaugural meeting took place on 11 March 2016 at Stockholm’s Konserthuset.[10]Table of ContentsAesthetics[edit]Selected works[edit]Orchestra[edit]Symphonies[edit]Concerti[edit]Choral[edit]Works for string orchestra[edit]Selected chamber music[edit]Music drama[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Aesthetics[edit]Eliasson became familiar with classical and modernist aesthetics while still a student. “I was initially happy to be allowed to be a student in the proper way. But when I compared what was then fashionable to the classical period, the latter seemed so much better!” When he was accepted for Ingvar Lidholm’s composition class, he was, he says, shocked, because “when I came into contact with luminaries such as Karl [sic!] Karkoschka (actually Erhard Karkoschka) or Roman Haubenstock-Ramati \u2013 who were delightful people \u2013 I suddenly lost all contact with the music I had inside myself.”At that time, Stockholm was “a modernist fortress: dodecaphony, serialism, aleatoric music,  musique concr\u00e8te \u2013 there was every technique and trend and fashion. Gy\u00f6rgy Ligeti, John Cage and Terry Riley all taught in Stockholm. It was no big deal to master all that \u2013 it was only a question of techniques, not of music, nothing about it was authentic. [….] It was a time of unbearable self-denial. Metrical rhythms, melodies, even particular intervals were all taboo in contemporary music. This was a catastrophe for the human voice and the human ear \u2013 was then, and still is.” Anyone stepping out of line, he said, was immediately banished. He mentioned an example from Sweden, Allan Pettersson.[11]Selected works[edit][12]Orchestra[edit]1968: Exposition f\u00f6r kammarorkester (Exposition for Chamber Orchestra)1977: Canti in lontananza f\u00f6r liten orkester (Songs from a Distance for Small Orchestra)1978: Impronta f\u00f6r orkester1978: Turnings f\u00f6r orkester (Turnings for Orchestra)1988: Fantasia per orchestra f\u00f6r orkesterSymphonies[edit]1984: Sinfonia da camera f\u00f6r kammarorkester (Sinfonia di camera for Chamber Orchestra1986: Symfoni nr 1 f\u00f6r orkester (Symphony No. 1 for Orchestra)1987: Symfonie nr 2 (fragment; unpublished)1989: Sinfonia concertante: Symfoni nr 3 f\u00f6r altsaxofon och orkester (Sinfonia concertante: Symphony No. 3 for Alto-Saxophone and Orchestra [2010: version for Soprano Saxophone and Orchestra])2005: Symphony No. 4 for Orchestra2013: Symphony No. 5 (commissioned by Helsinki Philharmonic in 2016; to be premi\u00e8red 29 May 2013; the composer talked about it, but never started work on it.)Concerti[edit]1982: Concerto per fagotto ed archi f\u00f6r fagott och str\u00e5korkester (Concerto for Bassoon and Strings)1992: Klarinettkonsert \u2013 Sette passaggi f\u00f6r klarinett och orkester (Clarinet Concerto \u2013 Seven Paths for Clarinet and Orchestra)1992: Concerto per violino ed orchestra d\u00b4archi f\u00f6r violin och str\u00e5korkester (Concerto for Violin and Strings)1992: Farfalle e ferro: Concerto per corno ed archi f\u00f6r horn och str\u00e5korkester (Butterflies and Iron: Concerto for Horn and Strings)1996: Konsert f\u00f6r basklarinett och orkester (Concerto for Bass Clarinet and Orchestra)2000: Concerto per trombone f\u00f6r trombon och orkester (Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra)2002: Konsert f\u00f6r altsaxofon och str\u00e5korkester (Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Strings [2009: version for Soprano Saxophone and Strings])2005 Concerto per violino, piano ed orchestra: dubbelkonsert f\u00f6r violin, piano och orkester (Concerto for Violin, Piano and Orchestra: Double concerto for Violin, Piano and Orchestra)2009: Concerto per violino, viola ed orchestra da camera: dubbelkonsert f\u00f6r violin, viola och kammarorkester (Concerto for Violin, Viola and Orchestra: Double Concerto for Violin, Viola and Chamber Orchestra [2 Horns, 2 Oboes und Strings])2010: Einsame Fahrt \/ Solitary Journey – Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (original title in German)Choral[edit]1979: “Canto del Vagabondo in memoriam di Carolus Linnaeus per orchestra, coro femminile e voce bianca” (Canto del vagabondo in memoriam di Carolus Linnaeus for boy soprano, ladies choir and orchestra, in three movements: Conflitto, Mezzogiorno (attaca) Infinito)1998: Dante anarca: oratorium f\u00f6r sopran, alt, tenor, bas, blandad k\u00f6r och orkester (Dante Anarca: Oratorio for Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass, Mixed Choir and Orchestra).
