The composition competition \u201cPhoenix Satellite 2018\/19\u201d followed in its outer, organizational form the pattern of the 2016 modified, second Satellite edition, as it had proven itself in every respect. In addition to the 8 candidates, this time we awarded a “wild card” to the (very) young and talented composer Joey Tan, who had come to our attention during our trip to Singapore last fall. Joey participated as a full member of the group, but externally funded and thus not a burden on the adjacent budget.<\/p>\n
In an initial module in November 2018, there was room for instrument-specific issues ranging from small instrumentation to balance issues in full instrumentation. Our core members involved were able to pass on their experience and know-how and information about relevant literature directly to the composers present together as a “class”, which fell on very fertile ground.<\/p>\n
In a second module \u2013 scheduled for January 2019 \u2013 the composers arrived partly with sketches, partly with fully developed compositions in their luggage, which were tried out and tested by larger registers and subsequently by the full ensemble. Feedback from Detlev M\u00fcller-Siemens, who was present from this point on, from J\u00fcrg Henneberger and from members of the ensemble led to a deeper, more intensive examination of the compositional sketches. Erik O\u00f1a had to withdraw completely from the project due to his serious illness, and we were able to replace him with Detlev M\u00fcller-Siemens, with whom we had already successfully collaborated in the same capacity in the 2016\/17 edition.<\/p>\n
For the third module (June 2019), all composers provided a finished piece in score and part material (digital and on paper), which 8 of the 9 composers also complied with (Korean\u2019s Ji Hyon Yoon stayed away from the last module for family reasons). In an almost too dense rehearsal phase, the full ensemble rehearsed the eight partly extensive compositions, again with the constant presence of all composers and Detlev M\u00fcller-Siemens. On Saturday, June 8, 2019, all compositions were premiered in a deliberately internal concert and recorded simultaneously.<\/p>\n
From the candidates, two will be selected as prize-winners for the concert planned for January 2020 in connection with Witlod Lutos\u0142awski\u2019s “Chain I”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
