PURERISM MUSIC
by
Gunther Tautenhahn
On DECEMBER,
22, 2003 on my 65th Birthday, at 11:15 a.m we received a 6.5 Mag. San
Simeon Earth Quake. While the earth trembled "PURERISM MUSIC" a NEW
STYLE OF MUSIC was born. Created and developed by me, "FATHER OF
PURERISM MUSIC". The style of "PURERISM MUSIC" employs ONLY "CORDS"
"SCALES" AND "ARPEGGIOS", used separately and throughout a complete
movement. The main features in "PURERISM MUSIC" is to display its
flexibilities and Independence of its style. My first "PURERISM MUSIC"
composition "88 KEYS" for piano, displays all three of them. The first
movement is and "Arpeggio Movement" the second movement is a "Cord
Movement" and the third is a "Scale Movement".
My second composition for Violin and Piano. The first movement both
instruments have "Cord Movements" but in the second movement here you
see a first attempt of "Counter Purerism" Movement. Where the Violin has
a "Scale Movement" and the Piano a "arpeggio Movement" executing them
simultaneously as one movement. My 4th, 5th and 6th composition in
'PURERISM MUSIC", which actually are my first three attempts to employ
"Purerism Music" for full orchestra, are: "SCALE SYMPHONY" "CORD
CONCERTO" and "ARPEGGIO FANTASY". all self explanatory as each displays
one of the three of "PURERISM MUSIC" main features.
Another face of "PURERISM MUSIC" is my "WHOLE NOTE
SYMPHONY" for Orch. where only whole notes are used for the entire
SYMPHONY. A piano arrangement of this work is also available.
"RINGS OF SAURON FOR PIANO" where all three Movements are composed using
WHOLE NOTES ONLY giving the score a symbolic look of rings. Another
composition using 'PURERISM STYLE."
"STRING QUARTET #3 (CHRONIC) 90% of the composition consists of EIGHT
NOTES ONLY." Another form or PURERISM MUSIC."
WORLD PREMIERE PERFORMANCES
Have you
ever taken a walk in the evening, when the heaven is filled with
billions of stars? As you look at them all of a sudden you think you
have discovered a new star. Something new that wasn't there, even though
it was there all the time. All of a sudden you are filled with joy
because you have found something that increased your visual concept. As
far as your eyes are concerned they have added a new star to your mind.
Something to share with your friends, and to put joy in your heart.
Think of the stars as pitches, or musical sounds. When you're in a
concert hall, and all of a sudden your ears hear, for the first time, a
composition that you have never been exposed to. A world premiere
performance. Whether you like what you are hearing or not it's an
enhancement for your mind, additional knowledge. You leave the
concert hall with something more than you came in with.

WHAT
IS MUSIC?
Music
is organized sound. Mans greatest fallacies is to believe that music
is the universal language.
