PURERISM MUSIC
by
Gunther Tautenhahn
On DECEMBER 22, 2003, my 65th Birthday, at 11:15 a.m we received a
Mag. 6.5 San
Simeon Earthquake. 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 an "Arpeggio Movement", the second movement is a "Cord
Movement", and the third is a "Scale Movement".
My second composition
is 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 compositions 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."
"HUMMING STRINGS for Violin and Cello.
Duration 5 Min. consisting of Whole Notes
only".
