SHOW 38 - THE DARMSTADT SCHOOL
In 1946 Wolfgang Steinicke created the Internationale Ferienkurse fŸr Neue Musik, a series of lectures devoted to the exploration of new music. Drawing upon the influence of the composers who had advanced the Serial technique, a new form of composition that had arisen in the 30's through works by Schoenberg and Webern, these lectures attracted leading contemporary musicians from all over the world, such as Cage, Stockhausen, Messiaen, Boulez, Babbitt, Varese and Ligeti. Over time the lectures coalesced into "The Darmstadt School" - which then acquired a certain infamy for the course's strict adherence to the uncompromisingly modern views laid down by Pierre Boulez, who was central to the advancement of serialism and modern music after the War. The courses attracted the attention of Werner Meyer-Eppler, a physicist with interest in the possibilities of music with electronc equipment. His meeting with composer Herbert Eimert led to the creation of a purely electronic studio at NWDR, a radio station in Cologne in 1952. By 1954 the radio was broadcasting "Music Our of Time" - a show dedicated entirely to electronic music. Stockhausen's Gesang der Junglinge would be created in its entirety at the studio. This show is dedicated to those composers who were present at the birth of electronic music.
