Teimuraz Bakuradze - "High Chant of the Youths and the Birds", Concerto Grosso

(Premiere, work commissioned by Deutsche Welle) Teimuraz Bakuradze received the 5000 Euro Composition Prize of Deutsche Welle for his work "High Chant of the Youths and the Birds" (Concerto Grosso), which he composed on the commission of DW. Bakuradze was able to impressively "build a bridge between traditional Georgian song and contemporary orchestral music," according to the jury of the DW Composition Prize. "Bakuradze artistically links the form of concerto grosso and the melody of an old Georgian hymn with innate stylistic confidence and suggestive forcefulness. With the "High Chant of the Youths and the Birds, Teimuraz Bakuradze has produced a work demonstrating his own creative signature", continued the jury. Teimuraz Bakuradze was born 1943 in Tbilisi (Georgia). He studied at the Tbilisi State Conservatory from 1962-67 under Andria Balanchivadze, brother of the choreographer George Balanchine. Since completing his studies, Teimuraz Bakuradze has worked as a freelance composer, dedicated primarily to theatre and film music. Although his music was rarely performed in the former Soviet Union and rejected as too avant-garde, Western and "bourgeois" (after the premiere of his "Prelude" in 1977, he was barred from the Union of USSR Composers), his film music was highly esteemed at the festivals at Cannes, Venice, Oberhausen and Munich. The magazine "Cinema Art" ranked Teimuraz Bakuradze on the list of the fifty best composers of the 20th century in this genre for his contribution to Otar Ioseliani's film "There Lived a Song-Thrush". Bakuradze's concert works include "Two Books for String Quartet," "Prelude," "Two Books for Quintet" and "Vespers for Thirteen." His notable theatrical works include "Richard II" and "Coriolanus" by Shakespeare and Sophocles" "Oedipus." In 2002, a portrait concert of the composer's work was held at the Festival of Tel Aviv. For Teimuraz Bakuradze, music is the highest form of expression for the human spirit. Music begins where words end; what is unattainable through words becomes the object of music. He grasps music as a message, and even when expressing the tragic, it remains the herald of joy. "With my music I try to describe the beauty of that which has been lost or destroyed." The title of the work, "High Chant of the Youths and the Birds," evokes this artistic goal. With it, Bakuradze builds a bridge between the ancient Georgian vocal tradition and modern orchestral sound.
