AM Classical Poll: Chamber/Ensemble

Post by whuntva »

Alright, after a minor mix-up before, NOW we can do ensemble works.

This time, look for "Music for small groups of instruments. They can include any types of instruments in combination, and the focus again is on the interplay between the instruments". I'd say more than two. I know last round we included sonatas, which aren't always necessarily solo pieces, but this time I'm gonna say, at least two instruments total. Save ambiguities for other orchestral and don't vote for anything that would have been otherwise eligible last round.

I will accept a list of at least five. If you want to submit more than fifteen, be my guest. But only the first fifteen will be counted. Top twenty will make it to the final pool of pieces.

Point sum:
1. 50 points
2. 40
3. 30
4. 20
5. 15
6. 10
7. 9
8. 8
9. 7
10. 6
11. 5
12. 4
13. 3
14. 2
15. 1

YOU DO NOT NEED TO SPECIFY A RECORDING!!

I will leave the poll open until our usual closing time. Something happened and I was late last time, but let's keep going this time.

Let's enter the magic chamber:


1. JOHANN PACHELBEL "Canon and Gigue in D for 3 violins and basso continuo" (probably 1694). Favourite part: "I. Canon"
Originally written for a small ensemble of three violins and basso continuo (although nowadays is usually performed by a chamber orchestra), Pachelbel's Canon in D is the most obvious choice I could have made. But I don't mind, echoes of this simple but delicious piece of music still can be heard today on every kind of music (as humorously stated here).


2. FRANZ SCHUBERT "String Quartet No. 14 in D minor (Death and the Maiden)" (1824). Fav: "II. Andante con moto"
The second movement consists on variations on a previous lied, each one of them expressing a very different emotion.


3. PHILIP GLASS "Glassworks" (1982). Fav: "VI. Closing"
A masterpiece of contemporary post-minimalism, with six splendid songs/movements, pure classical for now people.


4. OLIVIER MESSIAEN "Quatuor pour la fin du temps" (1941). Fav: "I. Liturgie de cristal"
Written at a concentration camp for the only instruments available, violin, clarinet, cello and piano. Sounds of death.


5. WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART "Serenade No. 13 for Strings in G major (Eine kleine Nachtmusik)" (1787). Fav: "I. Allegro"
Like Pachelbel's Canon in D it was originally written for string quartet and it's still the best way to play (and enjoy) it.

6. CLAUDE DEBUSSY "String Quartet in G minor" (1893). Fav: "II. Assez vif et bien rythmé"
7. LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN "String Quartet No. 14 in C♯ minor" (1826). Fav: "I. Grave - Allegro di molto e con brio"
8. ARVO PÄRT "Spiegel im Spiegel" (1978).
9. CÉSAR FRANCK "Violin Sonata in A major" (1886). Fav: "Allegretto poco mosso"
10. DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH "String Quartet No. 8 in C minor" (1960). Favourite part: "II. Allegro molto"
11. JOHANNES BRAHMS "Piano Trio No. 1 in B major" (1854). Fav: "I. Allegro con brio"
12. ARNOLD SCHÖNBERG "Verklärte Nacht" (1899). Fav: "I. Sehr Iangsam"
13. SERGEI RACHMANINOFF "Cello Sonata in G minor" (1901). Fav: "II. Allegro scherzando"
14. WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART "Clarinet Quintet in A major" (1789). Fav: "I. Allegro"
15. MAURICE RAVEL "Introduction et Allegro" (1905).

Your humble host is here to save the poll and remind people there's just a bit less than a week left.

1) Pachelbel-Canon in D major (this is probably my pick to win it all, just saying)
2) Beethoven-"String Quartet No. 14 in C sharp minor"
3) Schubert-Piano Quintet in A major "Trout"
4) Telemann - Sinfonia Spirituosa in D Major
5) Mozart-Serenade No. 13 in G major "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik"
6) Telemann-Partita in G major
7) Schubert-"String Quartet No. 14 in D minor (Death and the Maiden)"
8) Schoenberg-String Quartet No. 3
9) Beethoven-Piano Trio No. 7 "Archduke"
10) Telemann-Quadri a violino

12) Shostakovich-"String Quartet No. 8 in C minor"
13) Haydn-String Quartet in C major, "Emperor
14) Glass-Glassworks
15) Handel - Trio Sonata in B minor

Surprised there's no love for Telemann. The guy is to Chamber what Beethoven is to Symphonies!

No problemo Honorio, thanks.

And I'm sorry to come here so late but I have to relistened a lot of chamber music for make the definitive choices. It's a genre I like a lot.

Just one question, I see in your translation, for the sonatas, you don't put the two instruments, is it habitual in english to "forget" the piano?

Great! Not many voters but excellent lists! Hope others can join us for the "Other Orchestral" poll. It would be nice especially to have Jeff back. After stating "symphony is my least favorite musical form" he posted an excellent list of symphonies filled by unexpected choices and then he never returned! Maybe the "Other Orchestral" poll is a good place to come back. And, of course, it would be extremely nice to have lists from Kingoftonga, Henry, JimmyJazz and Antonius (apart of the 6 usual suspects).
Romain wrote:Just one question, I see in your translation, for the sonatas, you don't put the two instruments, is it habitual in english to "forget" the piano?
Well, I'm not an expert and probably both options are correct, I mean "violin sonata" and "sonata for violin and piano" but the usual form in English is "violin sonata" (or "cello sonata" or "flute sonata") when it's accompanied by a piano and "sonata for solo violin" when it's not. Moreover the usual form in English for the Concerti is "violin concerto," "cello concerto" or "piano concerto" when the soloist is accompanied by an orchestra and not "concerto for piano and orchestra" (although it's also correct). At least to my knowledge.

Re: AM Classical Poll: Chamber/Ensemble

Post by Honorio »

Welcome back, Kingoftonga. Excellent list but maybe some of the choices should be removed (and reused for the next thread) because, even if they could be considered "chamber" pieces, they were written for large ensembles. But whuntva has the last word on it. He didn't specify a maximum number of musicians and only 3 of the pieces voted so far were scored for more than 10 musicians (but less than 15). These pieces are:
- Eastman's "The Holy Presence of Joan d'Arc," scored for 10 cellos.
- Varèse's "Ionisation," scored for 13 percussion players.
- Glass' "Glassworks," scored for a variable ensemble, the piece with more players on it is "Island," scored for 11 musicians.

Aditionally two pieces were originally scored for small ensembles but now are widely known for its adaptations to string orchestras, the cases of Pachelbel's "Canon and Gigue in D" ("originally scored for three violins and basso continuo") and Mozart's "Serenade No. 13 for Strings, Eine kleine Nachtmusik" (originally scored "for an ensemble of two violins, viola, and cello with optional double bass, but is often performed by string orchestras").

In your list the ones that probably should belong to "other orchestral" are (all the quotes are taken from Wikipedia):
- Williams' "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis," "scored for an expanded string orchestra divided into three parts: orchestra I, a full-sized string orchestra; orchestra II, a single desk from each section (ideally placed apart from Orchestra I); and a string quartet. Vaughan Williams made this configuration resemble an organ in sound, with the quartet representing the swell division, orchestra II the choir division, and orchestra I the great division."
- Handel's "Fireworks Suite," "scored for a large wind band ensemble consisting of 24 oboes, 12 bassoons and a contrabassoon, nine natural trumpets, nine natural horns, three pairs of kettledrums, and side drums which were given only the direction to play "ad libitum"; no side drum parts were written by Handel. Handel was specific about the numbers of instruments to each written part."
- Grieg's "Holberg Suite" "was originally composed for the piano, but a year later was adapted for string orchestra." Quoting Wikipedia again: "String orchestras can be of chamber orchestra size ranging from between 12 (4.3.2.2.1 = 12) and 21 musicians (6.5.4.4.2 = 21) sometimes performing without a conductor, or consist of the entire string section of a large symphony orchestra which could have 60 musicians (16.14.12.10.8 = 60; Gurre-Lieder calls for 84: 20.20.16.16.12)."
- Barber's "Adagio for Strings," "arranged for string orchestra from the second movement of his String Quartet, Op. 11."
- Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians." Enough said? Well, "in his introduction to the score, Reich mentions that although the piece is named Music for 18 Musicians, it is not necessarily advisable to perform the piece with that few players due to the extensive doubling it requires."

Since you posted a list of 21 works we can remove these 5 pieces and move up the next 5. But, as I said, whuntva got the last word on the subject.

The difference between an orchestra and an ensemble isn't really in the number of musicians. If each musician has his own part it's an ensemble; if several musicians play the same part (e.g. the second violins) it's an orchestra. A big ensemble can have more musicians than a small string orchestra.

I agree that Kingoftonga's No. 1, 8, 11, 12 and probably 13 should be kept for "Other Orchestral". In the other cases mentioned I would stick to Ensemble.

Nice research, Honorio! I guess I was considering this category to be "any instrumental ensemble that's not a full orchestra." It sounds like most people held off on string orchestra music, though, so it makes sense for me to withdraw my entries 1, 8, 11, and 12. I'm a bit more torn on my "Music for 18 Musicians" pick; as BonnieLaurel says, the definition of chamber music is largely based on one-player-per-part (there are "chamber orchestras"), and Reich's piece can be for a large, 18 part chamber ensemble, although it is usually performed with larger ensembles with some part doubling.

And I f "Music for 18 Musicians" isn't eligible here, I have a hard time figuring out where it would go. I don't think it's "other orchestral" - the instrumentation is too idiosyncratic for that, and very far removed from a standard orchestra or string orchestra. Will there still be an "everything else" category?

The difficult thing about classical music genres is they only really coalesce around 1750, and largely disperse by 1950. A lot of music before and after that time period is a lot harder to fit in to a category. And names change - for example, Gabrieli published a volume known as "Symphoniae Sacrae," but they're more like antiphonal motets, and nothing like what we consider symphonies today.

I do hope Music for 18 Musicians is eligible for next round, as it will be my #1 there, and would have been my top for chamber. I sort of thought other orchestral was going to stand in for anything not easily categorized, anyway...

Yeah, if I'm the outlier on this one, I'm happy to rescind my vote for Music for 18 Musicians. I should have realized that a forum favorite like that would have gotten more votes this round if eligible....

I don't consider the larger works "Ensemble" as they don't have standout segments. Fortunately, KingofTonga submitted more than enough to have all their votes counted. Everything moves up about one spot and gets the same number of votes as if the piece was not there.

No HUGE surprises. Most of the ones I thought were fairly well popular advanced.

Results:

1) Pachelbel-Canon in D major/113 points
2) Schubert-Death and the Maiden/103 points
3) Bartók - String Quartet No. 4/95 points
4) Schubert-Trout Concerto/63 points
5) Messiaen "Quatuor pour la fin du temps"/59 points
6) Beethoven - Archduke Trio/57 points
7) Eastman-Presence of Joan of Arc/50 points
8) Elgar-Salut d’amour/50 points
9) Beethoven String Quartet 14/49 points
10) Franck -Sonata for Violin and Piano in A major/47 points
11) Gabrieli - Canzon primi toni a 8/40 points
12) Varese-Ionisation/40 points
13) Brahms-String Sextet/40 points
14) Crumb-Black Angels/40 points
15) Glass-Glassworks/36 points
16) Brahms-Violin Sonata No. 1 in G major/30 points
17) Beethoven-Kreutzer/30 points
18) Schumann-Piano Quintet/30 points
19) Mozart-Eine Kleine Nachtmusik/30 points
20) Debussy-Concerto for Flute Violin and Harp/30 points


If there are any errors, please correct me. I won't get offended.

And, yes, Romain, I do believe the common practice is to ignore the keyboard for a Sonata, which I said last category is not automatically solo. Your picks will count.

Now we move on to what I believe will be by far the most popular field: Other Orchestral. I've been really looking forward to this I already have a #1 and my favorites mostly come from here.

Only that it's "Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp". Anyway I'm glad my #3 has made the cut, especially because of the original combination of instruments.

Thank you whuntva!

Some correction :
