Magyar újrakeverés : Theatrical action for tenor recorder, mezzosoprano, string orchestra and electronics / Rick van Veldhuizen
Author(s):
Veldhuizen, Rick van
(Composer)
Description:
Based on ethnomusicological recordings and manuscripts made by Béla Bartók and others, which were sung by people in the ethnically Hungarian parts of present-day Romania, Magyar újrakeverés playfully explores the question of when a version (whether it be written down, recorded or orally reproduced) is truly a definitive version – and whether that matters. As such, it pays homage not only to the original singers and their microtonal inflections, but also to Kate Bush’s work with the Trio Bulgarka and, more specifically, the remix tradition of the 1990s. And to the media these songs and remixes were rendered in – be they the oral tradition, phonograph rolls from 1911, LPs from 1938 or the DAW I’m using in 2023.
