It was premiered in Dresden (in early 2001, I think) but involved an early music ensemble from Cologne (and chamber chorus from Berlin and Dresden?) and recording in Berlin. (Dresden has a very exciting new and experimental music scene.) <BR/><BR/>Ms Artman's text has Old Testament, Holocaust, and modern Middle East conflict overtones (with stylist shades of Gertrude Stein, at times). I believe that the three prime composers alternated composing the multiple movements. In the Berlin (or New York) studio, DJ Spooky then reprocessed parts of some of the <BR/>movments into brief interludes and postludes, which, to my mind, are some of the strongest parts of the project. (It is available on Teldec New Line.)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Since you wrote on oratorio, Galen, why don't you listen to the "Lost Objects" oratorio and give the new music community your review of it?Garth Trinklhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11084463787729969177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-1120263405058255742005-07-02T01:16:00.000+01:002005-07-02T01:16:00.000+01:00I was recently thinking (and blogging) about the H...I was recently thinking (and blogging) about the Heroes and Low Symphonies by Philip Glass, on Bowie / Eno material.<BR/>Is that Wiki cooperation as you mean it?<BR/>They surely are all living; are they "composers" in our classical-oriented sense?<BR/>Moreover, is each single contribution recognizable? I dont'know, since obviously they were working at different times, but Glass (according to some brief information I had a glance at) had to say he imagined to write the score in the seventies, thus intending his composing work to be fictionally joint to the other composers's one, at least Brian Eno's.<BR/>Maybe you and your guests will find this matter worth some considerations, maybe not...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-1120220335061693832005-07-01T13:18:00.000+01:002005-07-01T13:18:00.000+01:00The Bang On A Can 3 -- David Lang, Michael Gordon,...The Bang On A Can 3 -- David Lang, Michael Gordon, and Julia Wolfe -- have an album called "lost objects" which was collaboratively composed.

I think that the sonata "F.A.E." , jointly composed in 1853 by Albert Dietrich, Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms for Joseph Joachim (whose motto was the acronym Frei Abert Einsam, free but lonely) could be an example of the collaborative composing you're pointing your attention at. The most famous movement is Brahms' scherzo in C minor, but the whole sonata has some recordings as well. I leave to you a deeper introduction to the piece, given my non competitive english.
