Music in Our Time

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

This week, a programme marking the 60th birthday on 5 July of the American composer George Rochberg. The music comes from three decades, and charts Rochberg's unusual progress from his early lyrical 12-tone writing, via his first use of ' assemblages or collages of different musics ', to his current aesthetic position, in which the notion of ' originality ' is abandoned and the music makes free use of the styles of earlier periods. Serenata d'estate (1955) (first broadcast in this country: record)
CONTEMPORARY CHAMBER ENSEMBLE conducted by ARTHUR WEISBERG Contra mortem et tempus (1956. : CAPRICORN
Part C (March; Finale: Scherzos and Serenades) from String Quartet No 3 (1972) (first broadcast in this country: record)
CONCORD STRING QUARTET
