Classical Music Discoveries

The CD booklet begins with a definition: “Coda: a concluding statement serving as a summation, based on elaborations of thematic material from selected past work.” As Michael Mantler (born in Vienna in 1943), goes on to explain, reworking earlier compositions has been an essential part of his modus operandi over the decades: “Re-using material from my own musical universe has, as a matter of fact, been my compositional procedure for a long time. Musicologists could have an interesting time divining what in my music has come from where and how it might have been re-shaped and recycled … Almost always when I start a new composition, I begin with materials from previous work. More often than not that procedure would spark or beget a new line of musical thought from which to continue.”
