24. Nyydmuusika: Jon Leifs
    Tänavu mais möödus 100 aastat islandi helilooja Jón leifs’i sünnist. leifs’i püüdlusi jälgiti skeptiliselt, kui mitte isegi otsese põlgusega.  
    http://www.er.ee/klassik/nyyd/leifs.htm
    
    Extractions: Ta sündis Põhja-Islandil Sólheimari-nimelises paigas. , kuid lisaks õppis ta ka dirigeerimist ning kompositsiooni. Kooli lõpetamise järel 1921. aastal lootis ta teha karjääri pigem dirigendi ja pianistina kui heliloojana. Peagi muutus talle aga ahvatlevaks Islandi rahvamuusikal põhineva rahvusliku kompositsioonistiiili loomise idee ning ta alustas tõsist tööd heliloomingu kallal. Juba teismelisena oli Leifs tundnud soovi enda sees kõlavat muusikat kirja panna, ja seda oli ta esimeste klaveripalade näol ka teinud, kuigi tollal polnud tal teadmisi ei muusikalisest vormi ega muusika kirjapanemise kohta. Alles Leipzigis sai ta selleks vahendid, õppides harmooniat ja kontrapunkti.

    Extractions: BIS CD 1030 (F) (DDD) TT: 64:41 A number of musical works shocked audiences at their premieres, in particular Stravinsky's Rite of Spring , Antheil's Ballet MÈchanique , and VarËse's AmÈriques . So did Hekla Hekla Leifs was born in Iceland in 1899 and died in 1968. This CD contains works from the various periods of his life but of most interest is Hekla , one of three compositions depicting Icelandic natural phenomena. Completed in 1966, it describes the eruption of Hekla in 1947, the largest of the 20th Century, which Leifs happened to witness. The music is one massive, ever-intensifying depiction of volcanic eruption, beginning quietly but graphically increasing in intensity and power reaching a tumultuous climax during which one hears a brief chorus (almost overwhelmed by the massive orchestra/percussion sound), singing: "In the dark depths, violent cries of death./ There the red flames carried/ The steaming lava across the land."

    Extractions: Amazon recommendations Leifs is nothing if not idiosyncratic. After hearing all these BIS discs and ones furnished by the Icelandic Music Information Centre I am sure I could recognise his orchestral style 'blindfold.' It is tonal, rough-hewn, original, only intermittently engaged by melody and much taken with rhythmic interest. The Overture manages to bring off the oxymoronic combination of icy gauntness and encouragement. This piece moves into dance (another Leifs hallmark) but this is dance which is as much about impact as about rhythm. The melodic meat delivered by the violins is part relaxed regret and part frenetic. The choral peroration combines sharp rhythmic snap with hints of Dies Irae.

    http://www.musicweb.uk.net/classrev/2001/Aug01/Leifs_organ.htm
    
    Extractions: Amazon recommendations Leifs is no wheedler or cajoler of audiences and concert promoters. He belongs in the same select cohort as Nikos Skalkottas, Havergal Brian, Allan Pettersson and Khaikhosru Sorabji. All to various extents affected indifference to the neglect of their music by bureaucrats and executants and all have benefited from the CD age. This is not to say that Leifs wrote music without intrinsic attraction. In fact hearing the four BIS CDs of the orchestral music I was surprised to note so many instantly captivating works. The Organ Concerto is not one of those works. It is sullen and Gothic - shorn of any audience ingratiation factor. It can easily sound like music for a dismal hopeless trek across limitless snow fields - like Vaughan Williams' music from Sinfonia Antartica . The aural equivalent of maze-marching can be heard in clashing hymns rather like Liszt's Hunnenschlacht and echoing Nielsen 4 and 5 in its suggestion of chaos clashing with harmony. Yet again the listener is struck by the extremes of dynamic range as well as by the Stygian baritonal blare of the brass section and the howls and squeals of the woodwind against emphatic drum punctuation. This is not dodecaphonic but surfaces are unadorned and brutal. Some of this would make glorious music for an adaptation of Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings'. It remains to be seen how Howard Shore will fare in the film trilogy due to appear in cinemas over the next two years - starting Christmas 2001. In any event Leifs would have made an ideal composer for the onslaught of nightmare Orcish armies.

    Extractions: Author's Preface This work is based on an idea which the author has been developing in his mind over the past twenty years, using an inspiration from the Older Edda. The events of the Second World War and the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Hekla provided ideas for the final dramatic form of the work. Time and place indicated vaguely as Iceland or Northwestern Europe at the time of the Vikings with a lapse of about fifteen years between Acts I and II. the sacred rites as I remember best. Hear the speech of the north, cherished and proclaimed by Iceland. Behold the presentation of good and evil as seen by the north from time immemorial. Behold the sub-humans, animal still and yet hardly animal, waiting in deepest night, seized by lowest impulses, suffering from a mixture of greed and cowardice, envy and malice, swelling to bestiality. A starving old woman and a child chance upon them, only to be robbed and murdered. Behold how Loki, a god indeed but manifestation of evil, a magician who changes shapes, an associate and producer of all that is vile. He is a guiding spirit. He possesses beauty and cunning. He leads and corrupts the sub-humans. He conjures up his monstrous prodigy to incite them furtherFenris-Wolf, Midgard-Snake and Hel, the goddess of death.

    Extractions: In Icelandic and German with subtitles In recent years, Icelandic cinema has started to gain world recognition. Spearheaded by the export of the films of Iceland's premier movie maker, Fridrik Thor Fridriksson ( Cold Fever ), this fledgling film industry is developing an international reputation. Tears of Stone , from director Hilmar Oddsson, tells the story of Jon Leifs, Iceland's most celebrated composer, and was filmed in both Iceland and Germany. Jon Leifs (Throstur Leo Gunnarsson) made his reputation as a conductor and composer of "modern music" during the 1930s in Germany, where his wife, Annie (Ruth Olafsdottir), was a celebrated pianist. The couple had two daughters, a quiet adolescent named Snot, and a lively six-year old, Lif. As depicted in this biopic, Jon is completely devoted to his youngest child, taking her for long walks, buying her violins, and promising that he will never leave her a promise he is eventually forced to break.
